Chapter 7: Third Uncle Steps In
When Jiang He heard this, he quickly turned around and grabbed Aunt Liu who was rushing towards him from behind, "Aunt, don't be angry, it's not worth it."
"You silly child, they are all bullying you." Aunt Liu's eyes were red, and she looked at Mother Jiang with eyes as if she wanted to eat her.
Then he looked at the crowd of onlookers and said angrily, "Do you know how this couple treated their own son?
You haven't seen what this child looked like when he was a child. He looked like a five or six-year-old when he was eight or nine years old, and he looked like he weighed less than 40 kilograms.
Our head of the household felt sorry for the child and took him home. The child was honest and thought he was eating our food for free, so even though his little body was only about the same height as the table, he wanted to help carry the dishes. "After all..." She pointed at Jiang's mother's face, "the couple came to our door the next day and asked for the child's wages. Tell me, is this something human?
Don't listen to his nonsense. Hasn't this child ever spent a penny of their money on schooling? They are all other people's schools, and they are free of charge just because the children have good grades.
Yu Qiulian, aren't you afraid of getting your stomach ruptured by talking so much?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Jiang's mother hurriedly said, "His elder brother has been in poor health since he was a child, of course he has to eat more..." When she said this, her voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.
"I'm talking nonsense? Haha." Aunt Liu sneered twice. "I want to ask you, what about the clothes and shoes I bought for Xiao He and the woolen hats I knitted over the years? The next day, they were all on your nephew. What's going on?"
As soon as Aunt Liu said this, the people around started talking about it. Father Jiang's face turned red, but he couldn't explain himself.
They did snatch things from their son, but in their hearts, it was Jiang He's fault. After all, they were used to exploiting their son.
"I don't care who bought those things or who gave them away. Anyway, he is our little He. He is our child, and I will be the boss." Jiang's mother didn't notice anything and her words became more and more unreasonable.
"Wow!" The man who had been helping Jiang He take a breath, then rolled his eyes and said, "I don't think this young comrade looks like you two, but this Jiang Bao looks exactly like you. No wonder."
He said it casually, but immediately attracted the echoes from those around him: "That's right, I just thought this young comrade was really handsome, and look at you guys...tsk tsk tsk tsk."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang's mother was immediately furious when she heard these words. She pointed at the group of people and cursed, "I tell you, he is my father, but I don't have this son in my heart.
He is a jinx. Ever since he was born, nothing bad has happened to me. He killed his younger brother. He is a calamity star. The more she spoke, the more vicious her eyes became.
A picture suddenly flashed through Jiang He's mind. It was a young mother Jiang, holding a small package in her arms. It was a baby.
But the scene quickly changed. She told the original self to look after the child, and followed a man out of the room in a close manner. The small original self held the crying baby, looking for water to drink, and then saw a half-person-high water tank in the yard.
The scene once again showed Jiang Mu, disheveled and holding a damp little package, punching and kicking the original body and swearing at her. The next scene was the other party constantly abusing the original body.
Jiang Hezhen was not worthy of his original self. It was just that he was irresponsible as a parent. When something happened to the younger child, he blamed all the mistakes on the older child.
Some people are like this, they always find various excuses for their mistakes and find an innocent person to vent their anger on. After a long time, no matter how fake it is, it will become true in their hearts.
The more he thought about it, the more he sneered in his heart. He looked at Jiang's father with sympathy. Perhaps he didn't know that his so-called brother who was kind to him had been having an affair with Jiang's mother for a long time?
"Comrade, this is a new era and feudal superstition is no longer important. Believe it or not, if you keep saying this, I will report you to the Party Committee?" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said to Jiang's mother.
"What does this have to do with you? Why do you want to butt in on this?" Jiang's mother had put her dignity aside at this moment. She scolded Jiang He, "Your father asked you to pay 500 yuan, and then he cut off all ties with you. Now I also want you to give your workstation in the factory to your brother. Otherwise, no one can expect this."
"Yu Qiulian, are you out of control? Ahem…" Just when Jiang's mother wanted to say something else, she heard a furious voice. A plump middle-aged man came running over hurriedly, carrying an old man on his back, followed by several elderly people.
"Uncle Sansan..." When Mother Jiang saw the old man's face, her high spirits immediately dropped and her eyes began to become uncertain.
"Third uncle, we are here to deal with some family matters..." When Jiang's father saw the most prestigious elder in the clan, he immediately felt resentful towards Jiang's mother for making such a big fuss. She was really more of a hindrance than a help.
"Family affairs? You are almost forcing the child to death. If I don't show up, the Jiang family will not be able to stay in this city." The third uncle said angrily, "Tiezhu, you are almost 45 years old, why do you always do such stupid things?" As he said this, he knocked the ground hard with his crutch a few times.
After glancing around, his sight finally fell on Jiang He. He saw that the other person had an indifferent expression, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
