The little girl Jiang Sihuo was not so easily fooled: "Dad, let's not talk about whether I support you or not. Can you confirm that this little brother is your child?"
As the name suggests, a son born to a woman outside the family is a son whose bloodline is not necessarily pure.
If this woman outside has a lover and is secretly doing it behind her father's back, then wouldn't her father Jiang Shengtian become the one who is being taken advantage of by raising someone else's son?
The little girl's words were truly sharp and terrifying, and the force with which she lifted the veil was precise and swift.
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
Jiang Shengtian did have doubts in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
He reached out his big hand and touched his daughter's head affectionately: "Silly child, Daddy certainly has a way to confirm it. You should just treat Zhenhua as your own brother."
Zhenhua, which means revitalizing China, is a name that shows Jiang Shengtian has high hopes for this child.
To be honest, Jiang Shengtian is not young anymore. 45 years old is still considered to be in the prime of life in the officialdom, but what about his son's age?
Jiang Zhenhua was just born now. He was only 15 years old when Jiang Shengtian retired at the age of 60. Even flattery was not enough to keep him from entering the officialdom.
He had no choice but to rely on his four daughters to support them, so he could only rely on them and their sons-in-law to help Jiang Zhenhua get through the period from the age of 15 to 20 when he first entered the officialdom.
Many relationships require investment in advance. It is useless to cram at the last minute.
For the sake of his beloved son, Jiang Shengtian is willing to bend down and show kindness to the daughters who look down on him.
The future of these girls is all controlled by Rong Huaxin, and Jiang Shengtian always shirks his fatherly responsibility by saying that he has good taste in his daughters-in-law.
At first, Rong Huaxin thought her husband supported her in managing the family, and she felt happy and sweet.
Only now did I realize that this man did not treat his daughter as a human being at all. When there was profit to be made, his daughter was his biological daughter, but when there was no profit, she was just a stranger!
Would you plan a future for a stranger? I wouldn't even bother to pay any attention to him!
Jiang Sihuo was still clamoring: "What brother? I don't recognize him! Dad, listen to me. No woman outside can be as good as mom. You and mom will give birth to a brother!"
She didn't notice Rong Huaqin's pale face and thin body, and was determined to kick her half-brother out of the house.
After coaxing her for a long time, Jiang Shengtian's patience ran out: "Be good, Sihuo, stop making trouble. Your mother is not in good health. What if you give birth to another child and Hua Xin falls ill?"
This name is still called so intimately, but Rong Huaqin's heart will never be disturbed again.
Eunuch Jiang swallowed a piece of orange and suddenly interrupted, "If she can't give birth, then let's get another Jiang family mistress to give birth! What's the point of having a hen that won't lay eggs?"
The words are rough, but the truth is there, but this is too rough.
Rong Huaxin was already annoyed by Jiang Shengtian's implicit disdain, and now he became even more furious after hearing it.
She immediately seized the opportunity and accused him in a tearful voice, "Jiang Shengtian, I gave birth to four daughters for you. Even if I didn't contribute anything, I still worked hard. And you just let your dad call me a hen?!"
Holding his chest and staggering, Rong Huaxin's expression of heartbreak was half real and half fake.
Where did Jiang Shengtian, the 20-year-old with eyes full of love, go?
They had clearly promised each other eternal love and pledged to spend their lives together, but now they have become a middle-aged couple who are wary of each other. What has become of her young man?
Jiang Shengtian glared at Eunuch Jiang fiercely and warned him with gestures that his supply would be cut off if he continued to talk nonsense.
Then he quickly turned around and coaxed Rong Huaxin: "Xinxin, don't listen to Dad's foolish words. He's old and his brain is always short-circuiting."
Xinxin is Rong Huaxin's nickname, but when it is said now, it sounds ironic.
Rong Huaxin felt that he had a short circuit in his brain. His father had so many comrades who knew him well, and there were so many sons and grandchildren, but he didn't choose one. Instead, he chose Jiang Shengtian, a beast in human form.
But I have to finish the road I have chosen even if I have to crawl on my knees.
She put away her complicated feelings, but remained stubborn: "I don't care, you guys can organize the full moon banquet in the county. I'm not feeling well, so I won't go!"
The purpose of holding a full moon banquet in W City is to announce to everyone that Jiang Shengtian has a successor. This is a formal banquet that must be held.
But Eunuch Jiang insisted on holding one in the county town as well. The date was set for the day after tomorrow. He insisted on having a lively three-day banquet to show off his grandson to relatives, neighbors and friends.
Rong Huaxin didn't want to go, but Jiang Shengtian had said before that he wanted to show up in his hometown.
This banquet was purely for Eunuch Jiang's face. He had been ridiculed for years for being extinct. Now that he had a grandson, shouldn't he hold a grand ceremony and publicize it?
It just so happened that Jiang Shengtian also had the idea of excusing himself from not being able to have a son. If one does not return to his hometown when he is rich and powerful, it is like walking in the night in fine clothes.
So he decided to let Rong Huaxin bring his daughters back to his hometown to have a full moon banquet in harmony to save his face.
Jiang Shengtian frowned and was about to scold, but suddenly remembered that his father-in-law would retire in a few months, and his expression changed quickly.
He pretended to be a considerate husband: "Xinxin, you are not in good health and it is not suitable for you to travel by boat. Just rest at home and let Sifeng bring the three sisters home to visit."
The four daughters of the Jiang family are named Like Phoenix, Like Brocade, Like Jade, and Like Fire. These are all names carefully chosen by Rong Huaxin and have good meanings.
