Tian Dahua stood up abruptly, scattering sunflower seed shells all over the ground with a crackling sound.
She grabbed Jiang Daguo and pulled him behind her, then said in an arrogant tone, "She's just a young girl. If she doesn't get married when she grows up, does she expect this old woman to support her for the rest of her life?"
Tian Dahua grabbed a rolling pin and swung it hard at Huang Shi. With a loud "crack," the rolling pin struck Huang Shi's hand squarely, causing her to scream in pain.
"You heartless bastard! That's your own flesh and blood! How could you bear to marry Xiaoyu off to a fool!"
While clutching her hand, Huang ran around the yard in a fit of rage, retorting, "So what if I married a fool? I married a blind man back then!"
"Hmph, with your short and stocky build, if it weren't for our eldest son being blind in one eye, you wouldn't even have a chance to marry into our Jiang family!"
Tian Dahua held a rolling pin in one hand, put her hands on her hips, and breathed heavily, preparing to launch a new round of scolding against Huang Shi.
"Did you marry into my Jiang family to clean up after me? Or were you made to be a beast of burden?"
"Have you forgotten the days you slept in the pigsty at your parents' house and fought with the pigs for food!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Huang quickly interrupted, "Mom, let's not talk about the past! The Zhou family parents said that once Yu'er has given birth, all of the Zhou family's property will belong to Yu'er and her child. What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Wanwan rolled her eyes as she listened.
“Huang, you can’t treat the Jiang family’s children like this. If you and the eldest son don’t want to raise two girls, I’ll take them to the old house today and transfer their household registration to the town tomorrow!”
Old Jiang was covered in mud, his trousers were rolled up, and his shoes were speckled with mud. As he spoke, he glared at his eldest brother, Jiang Daguo.
Jiang Daguo looked down at his toes, lost in thought.
"No way! My own daughters can do whatever they want. They're the ones who will take care of me in my old age!"
"Look at what you two have done. You want to take care of us in our old age? I'm just waiting for you to be sent off right now, with two rolls of tattered mats."
Upon hearing this, Huang's eyebrows twisted like caterpillars, and her expression became even more horrifying.
"Boss, give us an answer, stop pretending nothing's wrong!"
Old Man Jiang looked at his eldest son, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his head down and not saying a word, and sighed deeply. This was his eldest son, whom he had valued in his youth. Back then, he had personally taken him under his wing and raised him, hoping that he would shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family.
Unexpectedly, after losing his sight due to playing too much as a child, his personality became gloomy.
Jiang Daguo raised his head, narrowed one eye, and said blankly, "Dad, I'll listen to you. Let Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu be registered under your and Mom's household registration! They're still young, let's talk about marriage later!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Huang immediately objected, "No! No!"
Jiang Daguo turned to the side and roared at Huang Shi in a gloomy voice: "Shut up!"
Huang glared resentfully at Jiang Xiaoyu behind Old Man Jiang, then pouted and turned to go into the house, wiggling her pumpkin-like bottom.
Jiang Wanwan took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu doesn't have to be afraid anymore. You can do whatever you want!"
Tian Dahua sighed heavily, realizing that the old house would probably never be peaceful again!
Jiang Daguo, seemingly lost in thought, said to Old Man Jiang, "Dad, you know our family's situation, so we won't keep you for dinner!"
When Old Man Jiang heard the words to drive him away, his expression went blank for a moment. His eldest son, whom he had personally raised and taught, was ultimately ruined.
After Old Man Jiang and his group left, Huang walked out of the house cursing and started yelling at Jiang Daguo!
Upon hearing Huang's foul language, Jiang Daguo stepped forward and slapped her across the face.
Huang was stunned by the beating, and his anger was like a volcano. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight Jiang Daguo.
Then Jiang Daguo said, "Ignorant village woman, once the two girls are registered in the old house, won't the old house, the fields, and everything else belong to our family?"
Upon hearing this, Huang's eyes lit up. That's right! Over the years, her second and third sons had given her a lot of filial piety; the two old people might have hundreds of thousands in savings. Thinking this, she felt a surge of joy and completely forgot about the slap she had just received.
