Once these words were spoken, it was like dropping a bomb in the hearts of Jiang Dachuan's family. The old man was determined not to care about their lives or deaths.
Zhao Hong, who was standing by, felt a hint of secret joy in her heart. Her daughter, she knew herself well enough. It was all her fault as a mother for not teaching her well. She was like a glutinous rice ball, just like Dahai, that goody-goody who could not protect her granddaughters at all.
Even though they have a son now and should stand up straight, the kid from the second brother's family bullied Sanni just now and they didn't stand up for their child. She finally realized that if the two of them continued like this, Jiang Laoer's family would probably overtake them sooner or later.
But the old man of the Jiang family is different. He is a tough veteran who sticks to his guns. So many people heard what he said today. If he regrets it later, he will be putting his face into the ground.
Zhao Hong estimated that her granddaughters were still young and her grandson was still an infant, so they were easy to teach. She would have to visit them more often in the future. She couldn't let those children learn from their parents, otherwise the whole family would be bullied to death.
Putting aside Zhao Hong’s little plan, Fan Xiaojuan was almost shocked by the old man’s words and fainted.
She had come here today to ask for the old man's forgiveness, but that brat ended up spilling out everything that was said at home, completely offending him. Fan Xiaojuan could imagine how angry her husband would be when she got home.
Moreover, without the old house, what would happen to their food? Would she have to work in the fields like Gu Dongmei, exposed to the sun and rain every day? Fan Xiaojuan was filled with reluctance.
"Dad, this is what you said. You are not going to acknowledge me as your son and my two grandsons who love the country and the party." Jiang Dachuan lowered his head, making it impossible to see the look in his eyes, and his tone was a little gloomy.
"I can't afford a son like you. Look at what you two have done to your good child." Old man Jiang was just speaking angrily in a fit of rage. It's not like he doesn't have a grandson, so why would he ask his granddaughter to marry into his family?
After looking at his two grandsons who had been corrupted from the root, he made up his mind that his last grandson must not be like them.
"Okay, you said this, don't regret it later."
Jiang Dachuan looked up, his fierce eyes swept across Jiang Dahai's family and stayed on Jiang Dahai for a long time. From childhood to adulthood, he, as the eldest brother, always did the right thing, and his parents loved his eldest brother much more than him. Finally, he did something better than his eldest brother in this life, but he still wanted to give birth to a son to suppress him.
Jiang Dahai was indeed born to be his nemesis. Since there was already Jiang Dachuan in this world, why did there have to be Jiang Dahai? At this moment, Jiang Dachuan swore in his heart that he would make his parents regret it and beg him to come back.
"Let's go." Jiang Dachuan grabbed one of his sons and dragged them away from the Jiang family regardless of their crying.
Fan Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment, looked at the gloomy faces of Old Man Jiang and Miao Sanfeng, and stomped her feet in anger: "Dad, Mom, Dachuan was just talking in anger, you must not take it to heart. I will go and persuade him right away." After that, she hurriedly chased in the direction where her husband and son left.
The whole scene was silent for a while, and then Old Man Jiang spoke again: "Everyone, hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold."
After saying that, he took the lead in picking up the dishes, as if nothing had happened just now. Everyone then picked up their chopsticks, but the atmosphere was far less lively than before.
"Mom, please help me hold the baby." Gu Dongmei put the child in her arms into her mother-in-law's arms. Old Mrs. Miao was more than happy to do so. She didn't even eat the food. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and hugged her little grandson in her arms. She felt much better.
Although she loved the eldest of her three children the most, it did not mean that she did not love the second one as well. When Mrs. Miao thought about how her son had secretly taught her two grandsons in the same way, she felt mixed emotions.
Gu Dongmei dug out some wood ash from under the old stove in the kitchen and applied it to Sanni's wound. The scene just now was so tense that she dared not move at all, for fear of angering the old man.
Wood ash is something that every household has. It can stop bleeding and kill viruses. It is a folk remedy passed down by the older generation. It is much more cost-effective than going to the health center to get some ointment. Sanni's wound was not deep, so Gu Dongmei helped her wipe her hand and sprinkled some wood ash on it.
Sanni stretched out her scratched hand and let her mother play with it. She was still gnawing on the two chicken bones. The four-year-old had sparse and yellow teeth, like millet grains. Even though the old hen had been stewed until soft, she couldn't chew the chicken bones. She could only grind on the bones with her teeth, trying to absorb some of the delicious flavor.
"Erni, please watch over your sister and don't let her scratch the wound." Gu Dongmei reminded her second daughter beside her. Erni's face didn't look very good, but she still responded to her.
After dinner, the men were chatting in the main room. Zhao Hong went to help Miao Sanfeng clear the table and wash the dishes. Gu Dongmei and Jiang Dazhen took the children back to the house and sat on the kang to talk.
Jiang Yilu was put aside by his mother, and Meng Xiangxue crawled around him curiously.
Apart from his half-sister, his relatives include three sisters and one younger sister from his eldest uncle's family, and two older brothers from his second uncle's family. Now the only one missing is a younger brother.
And this little brother is amazing. Not only does he not need to eat, he also drools.
Jiang Yilu ignored his harassment and instead showed a hint of indulgence. After all, her mental age was now forty. Looking at her cousin who was mature and steady in her previous life, and now was still a small boy with a three-head body and knew nothing, she had a very magical feeling.
In the previous life, before Jiang Yilu took his niece abroad, Meng Xiangxue had just been promoted to battalion commander, which was considered a successful young man. At that time, he was tall and majestic. Although he was called a cousin, he was like a parent, always caring about and taking care of the lives of the sisters. Unfortunately, such a good cousin had a very unlucky relationship life. He met a vain woman, which resulted in the emotionally traumatized cousin not getting married until he was in his thirties and treated the barracks as his home.
My aunt kept nagging about this on the phone. Jiang Yilu thought that this was one more thing he had to change after his rebirth. In this life, he would never let that woman hurt him again.
"Big sister, look what delicious food grandma brought us."
The first thing San Ya did when she got on the kang was to take out the candies that she had carefully hidden between the layers of the quilt.
"One, two, three... eight, nine. Grandma gave me ten candies. My sister and I ate one, so there are nine left." Sanni looked at the candies wrapped in the handkerchief and licked her lips with her little tongue.
There were only a few candies in the handkerchief, and it was clear at a glance. Jiang Dani smiled at her sister and said, "I told you to learn to count well before. Look, there are obviously eleven candies, but you counted them as nine."
There are fewer varieties of candies nowadays. What they buy at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county are only ordinary fruit hard candies, some peanut candies, sesame candies and the like. The more advanced ones are milk candies, but few people are willing to spend money to buy them.
Fruit hard candies are the cheapest. They are round and colorful, just like glass beads, and are especially popular with children. Jiang Dani looked at the candies in the handkerchief and felt that some of them looked different from the others and seemed to be better looking. Without thinking too much about it, she took the one she thought was the best looking and stuffed it into Meng Xiangxue's mouth.
"What are you giving your cousin? He doesn't even want to eat the candies his grandparents bought him. These things are given to you by your grandma. Keep them for yourself." Jiang Dazhen knew that her nieces didn't eat much, so she stopped them hurriedly.
"It's okay." Jiang Dani smiled shyly, took out another candy, carefully bit off a small piece, and handed the rest to Erni. Erni also followed her example and bit off a small piece, and gave the rest to Sanni.
Si Ni had already drunk a small cup of sugar water today, and I didn’t dare give her any more sweets.
The remaining candies were carefully hidden away. There were still nine candies left. The sisters could share one every other day, which would last them for most of a month. Feeling the sweet taste in their mouths, they suddenly felt that life was full of beauty.
"Mom, this fruit candy is so delicious. Ask Dad to buy some for me when we get home." Meng Xiangxue held the candy in his mouth, his eyes sparkling. He had never eaten such delicious candy before. Even the chocolate his grandfather brought him from the provincial capital was not as delicious as this candy.
Jiang Dazhen was a little surprised, because her son had always disliked eating these things. She didn't think much about it, because children's thoughts were changeable and changed every day.
"Brother, I will come to see you after I buy some candy." Meng Xiangxue thought for a moment, and then said to his cousin who had given him candy, "I will bring so much candy that you can have enough to eat."
Meng Xiangxue opened his hands, trying hard to show so many expressions that everyone could not help laughing. Sanni happily began to imagine a happy life surrounded by so many candies.
Jiang Yilu felt a little ashamed. Actually, there were only nine candies left in the handkerchief. He just let him secretly put a few more in. Now he didn't dare to do anything too excessive. He only dared to improve his sister's life little by little. The one that Meng Xiangxue ate was probably the high-quality fruit candy that she secretly put in. He would probably be disappointed when he ate the ordinary candies from the supply and marketing cooperative.
After this incident, Jiang Yilu felt that he would be more careful when taking things out of the space in the future. How could he forget that there are few good things these days, so when there is something rare, he is used to counting its number. Fortunately, it was Sanni he met this time, otherwise if it was the eldest sister, she would probably be discovered by the eldest sister who had already counted the number of candies as soon as she added candies in.
He grinned and looked at his sisters with smiles on their faces. A small piece of candy made them so happy. Suddenly, a sense of confidence surged in his chest, and the uneasiness about the future since his rebirth was mostly dispelled. In this life, he had such a good start and the company of his relatives, what reason did he have not to go on?
