Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Get Out of Here
Jiang Lian shook her head. "These two are really annoying."
She said this to Xie Lang. Since her younger sister was already married, it would be best to get him to give up his feelings for Jiang Ling.
"The first time I go to your house, I should bring a gift."
The daily chemical factory was not far from the family quarters, but Song Guanshu went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two canned foods and two bottles of malted milk.
Jiang Lian and Xie Lang went back earlier than the two of them. Except for Jiang Liwu who was studying in the evening at school, everyone else in the Jiang family was at home.
When Sun Yilan saw his eldest daughter, he was about to ask why she suddenly came back, when he saw Xie Lang following behind him.
Although several years have passed and the boy has grown into a young man, he can still recognize at a glance that this is Xie Lang, the son of Director Bai.
This is a rare visitor.
With an outsider like Xie Lang around, Jiang Lian couldn't immediately tell her family that Jiang Ling had gotten married to someone else.
Jiang Zhifu and his son Jiang Liwen hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and took out the leftover wedding candies from the wedding a few days ago.
Jiang Zhiwen took out a cigarette and handed it to Xie Lang. This was the highest courtesy for a guest coming to the house.
Xie Lang waved his hand, "Thank you, no."
Jiang Zhiwen offered Xie Lang a cigarette twice, but Xie Lang refused each time, so he lit it himself.
When Jiang Ling opened the door, she smelled a pungent smell of smoke.
The living room was filled with smoke, and Xie Lang was like a young wife, sandwiched between Jiang Zhifu and Jiang Liwen, father and son.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Sun Yilan couldn't help but speak first.
Yesterday, we heard that Jiang Ling had a girlfriend, and when we saw the young man behind him, everyone guessed his identity.
Sun Yilan blamed Jiang Ling for bringing her boyfriend home without informing her family in advance.
"You must be Xiao Song, come in quickly."
The Jiang family’s house is small, and the living room is also small. The sofa can only accommodate three people, which is already the limit.
"I don't know what you two like, so I just bought some at random."
Song Guanshu handed over the cloth bag in his hand. When Sun Yilan saw the canned oranges and malted milk, her brows relaxed a little, because these were all valuable things.
Jiang Lian was a little confused about her family's situation. Her parents obviously knew that her younger sister had a boyfriend, but she was not sure whether her parents knew that they had obtained the marriage certificate.
As usual, Sun Yilan put the valuable gifts she received back into the main room, and Jiang Lian followed her into the room.
In the entire small living room, only Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu were standing.
Jiang Ling found two small stools, one for each of them, and sat down in the corner.
Xie Lang doesn't smoke, so in order to entertain this distinguished guest, in addition to wedding candy, the Jiang father and son also took out cooked peanuts and offered them to him.
He was sandwiched between the Jiang family father and son, who took turns asking him about his university study experience and work experience at the police station.
Jiang Ling walked forward and grabbed a handful for Song Guanshu, "Eat it." What a pitiful thing, he came with a bag of gifts but didn't even get a piece of candy.
Song Guanshu was a germaphobe. The cooked peanuts were still in their shells and had dirt on the skin, which looked very dirty.
He felt very uncomfortable having it placed on his clothes like this.
The culprit didn't realize anything was wrong and looked like he was begging for praise.
He endured the discomfort and said, "Thank you."
Xie Lang had to deal with the questioning of the Jiang father and son. He observed the interaction between Jiang Ling and Song Guanshu out of the corner of his eye, and felt bitter in his heart.
The father and son of the Jiang family were completely focused on the only son of the director of the Personnel Department and were indifferent to the person their daughter brought back.
Song Guanshu did not feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction at being ignored, he just peeled peanuts silently.
Jiang Ling noticed that at first she thought he wanted to eat it himself, but she didn't expect him to hand her the peeled peanuts.
Suddenly, he felt flattered. The biggest villain in the book, who always wanted to stir up trouble for the male and female protagonists, actually peeled peanuts for him.
Of course, Jiang Ling quickly realized that this bastard was not only trying to establish a persona for himself, but was also showing off his affection in front of Xie Lang. He was really shameless.
Not long after, a sharp voice came from the master bedroom: "What!"
Jiang Ling lowered her voice and whispered to the people around her, "She knows about it too."
The next second, the master bedroom door opened from the inside, and Sun Yilan stood at the door and yelled, "Jiang Ling, are you crazy?"
Jiang Lian had already criticized Xiaomei, so she could speak for her now, "Mom, please keep your voice down. Don't let the neighbors hear and laugh at you. It's bad for Xiaomei's reputation."
Jiang Zhifu and Jiang Liwen were confused and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Zhifu signaled to his wife with his eyes that there were guests present and asked her to take it easy.
Sun Yilan snorted, "What's wrong? Go ask your daughter!"
His wife didn't answer, so Jiang Zhifu looked at his eldest daughter. It was his eldest daughter who was whispering with his wife in the room. She must know something.
Jiang Lian was worried that if she told her father, there would be a quarrel in front of the guests, so she naturally couldn't say anything.
She didn't say it, but Jiang Ling said it herself. She held Song Guanshu's hand, interlaced their fingers and raised it up, "Yes, we are together."
Song Guanshu wanted to avoid it. He hated physical contact with others, but in front of so many people, especially Xie Lang was there.
He smiled calmly and didn't break away.
Jiang Liwen scolded her for being shameless, "I know you two are dating, but you haven't got the marriage certificate yet. Are you not ashamed to hold hands like this?"
Holding hands before marriage is very common among young couples.
When others say that Jiang Ling is shameless, she accepts it. Jiang Liwen said she had no shame, she couldn't accept it, "Holding hands before marriage is nothing, there are people who have children before marriage."
Jiang Liwen wanted to get angry, but because Xie Lang was present, he could only scold her for being a traitor.
Xie Lang weakly defended her, "Jiang Ling and Song Ge are a couple, holding hands is nothing."
Couple!
Xie Lang felt something was wrong, so he stood up and apologized to everyone, "I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."
These are Jiang Ling's family affairs, he can't interfere anymore.
Jiang Ling must not let him go back!
Now that Xie Lang was here, Jiang Zhifu knew that he would not make a scene in front of the guests.
Jiang Ling tried to persuade him, "You finally came home, we can't let you go back without even having a meal. If it gets out, people will say bad things about us."
Jiang Lian glared at her. What did this girl want to do? Keeping another man in front of her husband.
Jiang Lian laughed at the side, "It's okay, if there's something urgent at home, just go back first. Whenever you want to eat your aunt's food, just come to my house and tell me what you want to eat."
Jiang Zhifu has always been the one who has the final say in this family. His third daughter got married without his consent, which obviously challenged his authority as the head of the family.
She made a mistake and showed no remorse.
Despite Jiang Ling's trying to keep him, Xie Lang finally left.
After he left, Jiang Zhifu no longer had to suppress his inner rage. He stepped forward and raised his hand.
"You little bastard, you are such a rebellious bastard. I didn't bother with you during the New Year holidays. Do you really think I am afraid of you?"
He works as a loader in the factory. He is strong and has a bad temper. A hit from his fists as big as sandbags is no joke.
The Jiang family has three daughters and two sons, and only Jiang Liwen, as the eldest son, is less likely to be beaten by him.
His three daughters were often beaten by her until they were covered in bruises. However, after Jiang Lian and Jiang He got married and became outsiders in the family, he stopped beating them.
Jiang Ling grew up and got a decent job in the factory, so Jiang Zhifu didn't do much work at home anymore.
In Jiang Ling's body, the memory of Jiang Zhifu's slap far exceeds any other memory.
She hid behind Song Guanshu all of a sudden. Since he was determined to play the role of a loving husband, she had to give him some space to perform.
Song Guanshu looked frail, but he stopped Jiang Zhifu from slapping him, "If you have something to say, talk it over nicely, don't use force."
Jiang Lian stood in front of the young couple and stopped her father who wanted to hit them. Her son-in-law was still at home, so how could he hit Jiang Ling?
Not to mention offending her son-in-law, how could Jiang Ling ever hold her head up in front of her husband in the future?
The first time she brought her husband to his home, she was beaten by her father.
That's not how it works.
Sun Yilan reached out to pull Jiang Lian away: "Don't stop her, she needs to learn a lesson!"
Jiang Lian couldn't understand. It was fine if her father was confused, but her mother should have tried to persuade him, but she was making things worse. It was really outrageous.
"Mom, please stop making trouble here." She said earnestly, "Please persuade my dad."
"Sister, what you said doesn't make sense. Third sister did something wrong, and there's nothing wrong with dad educating her. Do you think there's something wrong with dad's approach?" Zhao Hongyun spoke coldly, adding fuel to the already tense atmosphere.
Among the children in the family, Jiang Ling is the best born and Jiang Zhifu has the highest hopes for her. He hopes that he can use this youngest daughter to marry into a high-ranking government official, or that the daughter can also be a child of a factory leader.
Song Guanshu's parents were both deceased, and his family background was not good, so he was very dissatisfied with this son-in-law.
Jiang Zhifu said clearly, "I am not satisfied with your marriage. You should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce tomorrow!"
It is unreasonable to divorce just after getting married. Jiang Lian said: "Xiao Song is a good person and treats my third sister well."
Jiang Lian roughly knew what her parents were thinking. They hoped her sister would marry into a good family. It's human nature to want to find a relative who is a cadre, but my younger sister has already obtained a marriage certificate with someone. Even if she is divorced, it is her second marriage. The next person she finds may not be as good as Song Guanshu.
Jiang Zhifu was already furious because he failed to deliver the slap, and his right hand was clamped in mid-air by his son-in-law, which made him lose face in front of his wife and children.
He needs to give this slap back to save his face.
"How do you talk to your mother?!"
Jiang Lian was in a hurry to speak, and her tone was inevitably a little anxious, which gave Jiang Zhifu a reason to get angry.
He slapped with his left hand, and a crisp slapping sound was heard. Jiang Lian felt a burning pain on her face.
Sun Yilan didn't feel sorry for her daughter, but instead sneered, "You deserve it. I told you to leave it alone, but you insisted on going forward to cause trouble and make your dad unhappy. Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Lian covered her face and looked at her father in disbelief. She had never been beaten since she got married.
She was already in her thirties and her child was old enough to go to primary school, but she was slapped in the face by her father. It hurt, but it was mainly humiliating.
Seeing the slap marks on her face, Jiang Ling frowned, "Are you sick? My elder sister didn't do anything wrong. Why did you hit her?"
"I'm her father, I can beat her if I want!"
Sun Yilan also said, "How do you talk to your dad? If you hadn't been making trouble, why would your dad have hit your eldest sister?"
Jiang Ling could feel Jiang Lian's skin quickly getting hot. "What have I done wrong? Marriage is free now. I can marry whoever I want."
"You sisters have relied on me to load goods in the factory for your food and clothing since you were young. Now that you have grown up and become independent, you dare to talk back to me. If I had known that you would not be filial when you grow up, I would have drowned you when you were just born!"
No one in the family tried to stop the fight. Jiang Liwen and his wife just regretted that the fight was not serious enough and stood by, silently adding fuel to the fire.
Jiang Ling lowered her eyelashes and said calmly, "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world. Now you call the drowning of us sisters murder. You don't want the factory to know that you beat and scold your wife and children. If there is a quarrel, none of us will have a good life."
Jiang Lian tugged at her sister's sleeve and told her to be more careful with her words, after all, they were the ones who gave birth to and raised them.
Jiang Zhifu has old-fashioned ideas. He believes that his wife and children are his personal property. How he wants to beat and scold them is a family matter, and even the factory director cannot interfere.
He was still a bit of a bully, and when he heard her firm tone, he still felt a little suspicious.
The eldest girl is the only good kid in the family. The second and third girls are very wild. The second girl is even capable of reporting him to the factory.
He once thought that the third brother would not do that, but now he is not sure.
Having been a dictator at home for so many years, Jiang Zhifu has his own unique way of controlling the lives of his wife and children.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is good to be kicked out of your home.
There was no place for her in her wife's family home any longer. If she left this family compound, she would end up on the streets.
This is the case with his adult wife, let alone his children.
Usually, as long as you suggest kicking them out of the house, both children will admit their mistakes.
Jiang Zhifu rarely uses this method, he usually solves the problem with physical means.
Jiang Zhifu said angrily: "This is my home, all of you get out!"
