After turning the corner, Rong Huaxin saw that a farce was being staged in the living room. Her father-in-law and her little daughter Jiang Sihuo, who was attending a girls' school, were fighting.
My father-in-law is actually not old, he just turned 60, but ever since he had a promising son, he has been using a cane.
He usually pretends to be the dignified and strict head of the family, waiting to be served. He doesn't go to work or farm. He hires nannies and servants to do the work at home, and he just enjoys himself.
He even had the demeanor of an ancient official, taking a fancy to a pretty widow in the county town and wanting to take her as a concubine.
When Jiang Shengtian and Rong Huaxin tried to dissuade him, he still argued, "The officials in the dramas are all allowed to have concubines. Why don't you, an unfilial son, arrange one for me?"
Jiang Shengtian was really overwhelmed, and he reluctantly explained to his father that this was a liberated New China and a new society, and such acts of persecution of women were not allowed.
As a public servant of the country, he would be completely unable to hold this position if the news that his father had taken a concubine were to get out.
The consequences of losing his official position were too serious, and after several persuasions, the father-in-law reluctantly gave up this delusion, and even flirted with others in private.
He would hide behind others to give some benefits, touch the little hands and face, and his lustful thoughts never changed.
Rong Huaxin's mother-in-law was a woman with bound feet. The old society had instilled in her the idea that her husband was the most important person in her life. She never even said a word of objection to her husband's outrageous behavior.
She has a slight stutter and doesn't talk much. Everything in the family is decided by Jiang Shengtian's father.
At this moment, several nannies were trying to stop a fight in the living room. My father-in-law was fighting with his little daughter, who was holding a feather duster, with a cane. It was a mess.
On weekdays, the two of them live together in the county town, so Jiang Sihuo is not as close to her grandfather as to her biological mother.
The whole family is in turmoil today?
Rong Huaxin was completely baffled and rushed over to protect his daughter behind him, "Father-in-law, please calm down. How angry are you? Why did you hit her for no reason?"
Even though his little daughter was not raised by his side, Rong Huaxin still loved her very much.
Jiang Shengtian and Xiang Yaoyao caused a sensation in the county town, and his youngest daughter Jiang Sihuo was implicated and expelled from school. Rong Huaxin took the trouble to find an old classmate and transferred his daughter to W City to study.
I originally wanted to send my daughter to an ordinary school, but I was afraid that rumors would spread quickly and her daughter would be bullied, so I simply sent her to the W City Girls' School with strict security.
Although there will still be some impact, the management of girls' schools is strict and it is slightly better.
The father-in-law was furious. He put down his cane and took two heavy breaths. "Look at this bitch! She dared to talk back to Grandpa. She deserves to have her mouth ripped apart!"
He cursed so vulgarly that Rong Huaqin frowned, feeling very unhappy that this man was corrupting his daughter.
But on the surface, filial piety was there, so she forced a smile to smooth things over: "Yes, Sihuo has a stubborn temper. I apologize on behalf of your daughter. Please calm down."
When he was young, Rong Huaxin also had big fights with his parents-in-law. At that time, his father was very powerful and he was not afraid of falling out with his parents-in-law.
But now the situation has changed, Jiang Shengtian has risen, and Rong Huaxin has no choice but to keep a low profile.
Jiang Shengtian listens to her father the most. After weighing the pros and cons, she cannot confront her father-in-law directly, so she should suppress her temper and be patient.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law, who was so arrogant in her youth, had to bow her head, the father-in-law felt as relieved as if he had drunk a glass of cold water in the middle of summer.
Look, this is power!
My son is so stupid that he fell in love with such a daughter-in-law. She is just a chicken that can't lay eggs. What's the use of her?
According to my father-in-law's idea, the mistress that Jiang Shengtian arranged to live at home and gave birth to a boy is the main wife, and she can be directly promoted to the legitimate wife of the first house.
As for this yellow-faced woman? Get her out of here right away!
The Jiang family doesn't want a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a son. I don't know what's wrong with Jiang Shengtian's eyes. He really doesn't know what's good for him.
Eunuch Jiang always believed that his son was very capable, but his first wife, Rong Huaxin, was arrogant and complacent, and the two were not a good match.
He never thought that the less compatible of the two was Jiang Shengtian.
Jiang Shengtian was able to rise to the center of power so quickly thanks to Rong Huaxin's connections. If he didn't have a father-in-law who was the municipal party secretary, could he have been promoted so quickly?
You’re dreaming!
Eunuch Jiang got angry when he saw his daughter-in-law looking sick. Why hadn't she died yet?
He picked another fault impatiently: "What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to take care of the grandson? Zhenhua is our only child! A golden grandson!"
The contempt in his words was not concealed at all, as if he treated Rong Huaxin as a servant, a maid who was to take care of his grandson.
Rong Huaxin was reminded and quickly asked two nannies to take care of Jiang Zhenhua who was crying in the room.
Jiang Sihuo, who was being protected, became angry again and cursed: "Old man, that's not my brother, and he's not my mother's son. He's just a bastard born of an unlucky father!"
The little girl's eyes are bright and clear. Her world is black and white, and she doesn't admit any gray area.
Jiang Sihuo had no intention of accepting this younger brother from a different mother. He was even full of malice, thinking that his arrival made the home a dirty place.
Eunuch Jiang was so angry that he raised his cane and waved it again: "You are a money-loser who will be married off sooner or later. My precious grandson doesn't want a sister like you!"
Several nannies rushed to try to stop the fight, but unfortunately the two of them kept swearing at each other and completely ignored the words of dissuasion.
