Jiang Wanmin felt as if he were being pricked by thorns, as if the police officer's sharp gaze could pierce through him. He immediately spoke up to refute Jiang Shengli and defend himself.
"Jiang Shengli, what nonsense are you talking about! The money given to Jiang Xile was her dowry left by her biological mother before her death, as well as money prepared for her by her maternal grandfather and uncle."
I was just holding it for you. What do you know? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation.
I'm just a law-abiding worker; there's really nothing I can do to help you with your situation. Take care of yourself!
Jiang Wanmin kept a close eye on the expression of the police officer beside him, and he could clearly feel that the scrutiny of him disappeared instantly after he finished speaking.
He might still have some doubts, but that doesn't matter; he'll clear his name.
"Officer, the child is ignorant and has made you laugh. My first wife's father used to be in business."
After liberation, he donated most of his family property to the state, but was later sent to another place for labor reform due to various reasons.
However, my wife had already passed away many years before they arrived, and our two families lost contact after that. The money I gave to my daughter was prepared before my wife passed away.
I promised before that I would give my daughter her entire dowry after she came of age. A real man can't go back on his word!
"I see. You're really something. Few people have your magnanimity."
It's commendable that you didn't waver in your original aspirations despite the temptation of so much money; you're a good comrade! Alright, your visit is over; you should go back now!
Jiang Shengli had already been dragged back to his cell by the police officers guarding him when he lost control of his emotions, so he naturally had no idea how Jiang Wanmin was putting on such a show.
"Okay, I understand, thank you, officer. But could my son take these things with him?"
"That won't do. Keep two sets of clothes for them, and take the rest back. There are regulations. Besides, they're going to labor reform, not to enjoy themselves."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I will definitely cooperate with the police officers. We'll head back now!"
Zhang Guilian was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Jiang Wanmin's gaze.
Seeing Jiang Wanmin's fierce gaze, Zhang Guilian stammered and couldn't say a word, so she could only obediently follow behind him.
Now that her eldest son has been sent to the countryside, she still has her younger son to take care of, and she will have to rely on Jiang Wanmin for the rest of her life.
Zhang Guilian knew in her heart that what her eldest son had just said had completely offended Jiang Wanmin.
Even if his son returns ten years later, Jiang Wanmin probably won't help him anymore.
After all, she was her own flesh and blood, and Zhang Guilian would never abandon her no matter what. However, how to care for her was a matter that needed careful consideration.
Along the way, Zhang Guilian gently coaxed Jiang Wanmin, hoping that he could forget all the unpleasantness from earlier.
But Jiang Wanmin wasn't so carefree. If this matter wasn't handled well, all his efforts over the years would be in vain.
They might even be investigated by higher authorities. Will they be able to keep what they have then?
Upon entering the house, Jiang Wanmin was still furious. He looked at Zhang Guilian standing in front of him and slapped her across the face.
"Smack!"
Zhang Guilian was slapped to the ground and fell to the floor, staring at Jiang Wanmin in disbelief.
"You hit me?"
"What? I shouldn't have hit you! You have no self-control and tell everything to your good-for-nothing son."
If it weren't for your gossipy mouth, would this have happened? I raised him all these years, and now he dares to threaten me and try to sabotage me.
If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been taken away by the police for investigation by now, and you would still be here seeing me.
The family fortune I painstakingly built up over half my life was almost ruined by you and your son. You are truly ungrateful wretches.
I'm telling you, whether now or in the future, you must completely sever ties with Jiang Shengli.
Even if he comes back in the future, I won't allow him to set foot in the Jiang family's house. If you dare disobey me, get the hell out of here!
Zhang Guilian, who was being scolded, dared not disobey Jiang Wanmin in the slightest, fearing that she would be beaten again if she was not careful.
"I know...I know! It was...it was my fault! I promise I'll never talk nonsense again!"
Seeing Zhang Guilian's submissive demeanor, Jiang Wanmin's anger subsided somewhat.
"I hope you keep your word. As long as you are obedient in the future, the Jiang family will have a good life for you. Take good care of Ping An and Dong Hai in the future."
Ping An is eleven years old now. In a few years, you can transfer your job to Ping An, and then you can just stay home and take care of the housework!
Zhang Guilian's heart skipped a beat. This job was now her only lifeline, but she dared not say no to Jiang Wanmin.
"I understand. I will take good care of Ping An and Dong Hai. I will give Ping An the job when he graduates from high school!"
"Um!"
Jiang Wanmin nodded in satisfaction. If it weren't for Jiang Shengli's incident this afternoon, he would definitely still be working at the factory right now!
It's a pity to waste this half-day off, but since I've already asked for leave, I might as well take a good rest!
After dealing with a series of events recently, Jiang Wanmin was truly exhausted.
"I'm going inside to lie down for a while. You tidy up the house and bring Donghai back early today!"
"Okay, I know. Are you tired? Should I boil some hot water for you to soak your feet?"
"That works too!"
The reason Jiang Wanmin married Zhang Guilian, a woman with a child in tow, was because he valued her ability to serve others.
I've been working overtime lately and haven't had a break in a long time.
Back in his room, Jiang Wanmin took off his coat and trousers, leaving only his shorts on, and lay down on the bed.
Before long, Zhang Guilian brought in a basin of hot water, the temperature of which was just right.
Sensing the movement, Jiang Wanmin simply changed his position and put his feet off the bed, while he remained lying on the bed with his eyes closed, resting.
Without saying a word, Zhang Guilian obediently began washing and massaging Jiang Wanmin's feet, but as she massaged, she started to get out of control.
Sensing his wife's flattery, Jiang Wanmin calmly enjoyed it. Before long, the sound of water in the room grew louder, and in a moment of excitement, he overturned the foot bath basin.
Even so, it did not stop Jiang Wanmin's actions, and he skillfully pulled the person onto the bed.
The woman's sweet voice filled the room, and Jiang Wanmin, who was being served, felt like he was floating on air, completely losing his earlier anger.
His large hands ran rampant over Zhang Guilian's body, causing her to beg for mercy and sob uncontrollably.
"Brother Min...you're amazing! So great..."
