Chapter 231 A drafty coat and a warm jacket
Jiang Yanni retorted, unconvinced, "How did I say anything wrong?"
“Look at Mom, she seems distracted and even when she’s cooking, she’s not paying attention.”
“She used to always urge us to study hard and do our homework diligently, but today, she just handed Dudu over to us and didn’t even ask about her homework or studies.”
Is this normal?
"Besides love, what else could make a woman who has always been a family-oriented person disregard her family and children?"
Jiang Haiyang listened in a daze, muttering, "I feel like you're telling a horror story..."
Jiang Yanni stomped her foot indignantly: "Fine, you've never even been in a relationship, you don't know anything, I'll go ask Mom."
Jiang Haiyang watched her storm off to her parents' room and curled his lip: "What do you mean I've never even been in a relationship? It's not like you've ever been. Besides, what's a girlfriend compared to computers... huh?"
He suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly chased after her: "Yanni, Jiang Yanni, wait a minute, I have something to ask you..."
Yang Yuemei was patting Dudu in a daze when she saw Jiang Yanni and paused, asking, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yanni wanted to ask something, but for some reason she suddenly couldn't open her mouth. She could only say, "Mom, are you thirsty? Let me get you some water."
Yang Yuemei blinked and suddenly asked, "Yanni, what do you think about me going out and finding a job to earn money?"
"???"
Jiang Yanni asked in confusion, "Is my dad unemployed again? Or did my brother's business fail and he can't make any money?"
When facing her youngest daughter, who is still in school, Yang Yuemei is completely different from when she talks to Jiang Jiani, and she can't say anything from her heart.
She hesitated for a moment and then said, "No, no, I mean, I want to go out and earn money. Do you think that's okay?"
Jiang Yanni looked on incredulously: "Mom, are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense?"
"It's not like my dad stopped making money, and my brother didn't fail in his business, so why are you trying to make money?"
"Besides, how much money can you make in a month? Eighty? Ninety? Or a hundred? My dad earns more in a week than you do in a month."
Why would you bother with this?
Upon hearing these words, Jiang Haiyang, who was about to enter, subconsciously frowned and stopped in his tracks.
Yang Yuemei was momentarily at a loss for words. She wanted to explain, but didn't know how to articulate her thoughts, and stammered, "I... I just wanted to earn some money..."
Jiang Yanni interrupted her bluntly: "Mom, our family is doing very well now. We don't need the meager earnings you make outside by working yourself to the bone."
“You have no idea how much the people in the old residential compound envied you after we moved here.”
"Everyone says you've finally made it through the tough times, you can enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren, and you're going to live a good life."
"Everyone envies you, why are you making trouble for yourself?"
"Besides, we still have Dudu at home. Dudu is so young. What will happen to Dudu if you go out to earn money?"
“My dad has to go to work, my eldest brother has to run a business, my third brother is about to go back to school, and I’m only in high school.”
"If you go to work, we won't be home, and we'll be leaving Dudu alone at home, won't we?"
“Dudu is still so young, he can’t even walk steadily. You are his own grandmother, how can you leave him alone at home?”
Yang Yuemei weakly defended herself, "I... I just want to find something to do. I can take Dudu with me..."
Jiang Yanni interrupted her again: "What if something happens to Dudu? Dudu is your own grandson. If something happens to him, how can you live with yourself? How can you face my older brother?"
"Besides, my older brother is in business and makes more money than he did when he was driving a car."
"Our family doesn't need the meager earnings you make."
"You should just stay home and take good care of Dudu."
"Raising Dudu well is more important than anything else."
Yang Yuemei looked dejected and defeated.
Jiang Haiyang couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to scold, "Yanni, shut up and go back to your room to do your homework."
Jiang Yanni pouted, feeling wronged: "Why are you being so fierce? I didn't say anything wrong."
"Wasn't I doing it for her own good?"
“Our mom is almost fifty, she’s a grandmother now. Most people at that age would retire and enjoy their golden years, but our mom wants to go to work and earn money.”
They don't even know how to enjoy a good life.
Just like a wild boar that can't eat fine chaff, it doesn't know how to enjoy life at all, and its whole person is very unsophisticated.
Jiang Haiyang, his face dark, dragged her into her room and said, "Just do your homework, stop talking nonsense!"
Jiang Yanni was locked inside the room. She stomped her feet indignantly and shouted at the top of her lungs, "What are you so great about? I didn't say anything wrong."
"Our mom just doesn't know how to enjoy life; she's destined to suffer her whole life!"
Jiang Haiyang pushed open the door and stormed in, slapping Jiang Yanni across the face and saying coldly:
"Jiang Yanni, that's your mother!"
"Your own mother who gave birth to you, raised you with such hardship, and brought you to this age."
"She can do whatever she wants, and you have no right to tell her what to do or criticize her."
"Don't let me hear these words a second time."
"If I do it again, I'll beat you so badly you end up in the hospital, you believe me?"
Jiang Yanni covered her face, looking incredulous and unconvinced, but looking at her third brother who seemed like a completely different person, she inexplicably felt that he wasn't joking.
She felt that if she said another bad word about her mother, her third brother would really beat her so badly that she would end up in the hospital.
Jiang Yanni was angry, in pain, heartbroken, and aggrieved. She threw herself onto the bed and began to sob.
I don't understand at all. She was doing it for her mother's own good, so why did her third brother treat her like this?
Seeing that something was wrong, Yang Yuemei chased after them and saw Jiang Haiyang hitting Jiang Yanni.
She tried to stop him, but Jiang Haiyang moved too fast. She couldn't stop him in time and could only say in a panic, "Haiyang, Haiyang, don't take it to heart with your sister, she's just a child..."
Jiang Haiyang's face was frosty: "A sixteen-year-old kid?"
"mom."
"This is between her and me, so you shouldn't interfere."
"By the way, Mom, you're looking for a job, right?"
"Go ahead and look for someone if you want. Don't worry about things at home."
“It’s summer vacation now, so I can take care of Dudu. You don’t need to worry about him after summer vacation ends, because my brother will take care of him.”
“Dudu is his own son, my brother will not abandon Dudu.”
Jiang Yanni was so angry when she heard her third brother's tone of voice, which was completely different from when he spoke to her, that she pounded the bed and muttered curses under her breath about him being a mama's boy and a sycophant.
Clearly, the term "mama's boy" was learned from Jiang Jiani.
Two children, two different attitudes—Yang Yuemei was both at a loss and overjoyed: "You...you don't object?"
Jiang Haiyang smiled and said to her earnestly, "Mom, you are a person first, and only secondly my father's wife and the mother of us four siblings."
"So do whatever you want, don't worry too much about what we think."
