"What? Can you handle it?"
You can only deal with that kind of scoundrel if you are more scoundrel than her. Jiang Xiachu usually speaks in a gentle voice, and Fang Yingqiu is really afraid that she will be bullied when she goes out.
Jiang Xiachu nodded, her eyes firm, "Aunt Fang, don't worry, I should have handled this matter myself. It just so happens that I am about to join the army, and I will be back less often in the future. I will take this opportunity to make everything clear to her, so that she won't cause trouble again in the future."
Facing Jiang Xiachu's determined eyes, Fang Yingqiu put away her original hesitation and nodded in agreement: "Okay then, you must call me if there is anything. You must remember that Qingli and I will always stand by you, and the neighbors around us are also on your side, and everyone will help you."
Jiang Xiachu was particularly touched and said, "Okay."
After saying that, she turned around and strode out of the room.
Before Lin Qingli could react, she saw Jiang Xiachu pick up a basin of water from the shelf nearby and walked steadily towards the door with a determined look on his face and without hesitation.
“…”
Lin Qingli and Fang Yingqiu suddenly realized something, and immediately looked at each other with their eyes wide open, their faces filled with surprise.
Jiang Hongyan outside was still knocking on the door desperately.
She knew that Fang Yingqiu and the others were considerate people. She kept making noise here, and in order not to disturb the neighbors, they would come to open the door for her sooner or later.
It's just a matter of time. At worst, she can just not go anywhere today and stay here. She will definitely meet Jiang Xiachu.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiachu removed the loose lock and opened the door violently. Jiang Hongyan hadn't reacted yet and was about to open her mouth to continue cursing when a basin of cold water was suddenly poured over her head.
"you……"
The cold water chilled her instantly, and her shouting and cursing stopped abruptly.
Jiang Hongyan was soaked and shivering from the cold, but her eyes were wide open with a look of confusion.
She was filled with rage and was about to explode, shouting angrily: "Jiang Xiachu! I'm your mother, how dare you do this to me? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
When Jiang Xiachu heard this, he curled his lips sarcastically.
The neighbors who were watching the show on the sidelines all applauded Jiang Xiachu's action in their hearts and hummed in low voices.
"Why do you say she's her mother now? I've never seen her treat the child as her own daughter before?"
"That's right. We all know how much Xia Chu has suffered, and she still has the nerve to call herself a mother. What mother would abuse her child like this?"
"How shameless!"
Jiang Xiachu didn't say anything. He just listened to her mad yelling and cursing. He took a step forward, raised his hand and slapped Jiang Hongyan hard in the face.
When the slap landed, the neighbors who were watching the show were all stunned and had no time to react.
Even Jiang Hongyan was stunned by this heavy slap. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Xiachu in disbelief.
"You...you dare to hit me!? I'm your biological mother!" she said in surprise.
Jiang Xiachu sneered, clapped his hands, and said coldly, "What kind of mother are you? Jiang Hongyan, are you still not awake?"
Jiang Hongyan was even more surprised when she heard Jiang Xiachu calling her by her full name.
Jiang Xiachu ignored her reaction, raised his hand, and counted the "good things" she had done one by one.
"I just want to ask you, how can you be qualified to mention the word "Mom"? Have you forgotten all the things you did?"
"It's not like there aren't any extra rooms at home, but you forced me to squeeze into that tiny storage room. There are so many things in it, and it never sees the sun. Many of them are moldy. I can only sleep on that small wooden board every day, smelling the damp air as I sleep."
"I have always been at the top of my class, even my teachers praise me, but you don't even want to pay my tuition."
"I want to ask you, in which winter will I have new clothes to wear?"
"I am obviously the older sister and taller than He Yiran, but every year I have to pick up the cotton-padded jackets that He Yiran doesn't wear."
"Her old cotton-padded jacket always came too short when I wore it, leaving only half of my wrists exposed. I was frozen purple every winter, but you never mentioned buying me a new piece of clothing. I could only pick up the ones she didn't want."
"You never called me during meals, and sometimes you wouldn't even let me sit at the table. Whenever there was meat, you always gave it to He Yiran and He Dayuan. But what about me? When did you ever think of me?"
"I was so stupid before. I thought you did all this because He Yiran was not your biological daughter, and you were afraid that she would feel unbalanced, so you wanted to be nicer to her."
"But how do you explain what happened a few days ago? Meng Anyao and I were about to be hit by a car, and you came up and immediately saved Meng Anyao, not caring about my life or death at all."
Speaking of this, Jiang Xiachu also became a little emotional and excited.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, lowered her head and glared at Jiang Hongyan, and said coldly: "From that time on, I no longer have you as my mother in my heart, because I know that you don't love me at all. Even an outsider is much more important than me in your eyes."
Jiang Xiachu spoke one by one, his tone extremely calm.
The neighbors couldn't help but shed tears after hearing these words. Some sentimental aunties even secretly wiped their tears by holding the corners of their clothes. It was so heartbreaking.
"Oh my god, this girl Xia Chu is so pitiful..."
"How could she be so cruel to such a well-behaved and obedient child?"
"He has such a vicious heart that he doesn't even care about his own daughter..."
“…”
Jiang Hongyan was caught off guard by Jiang Xiachu's words. Her face turned blue and red. She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Jiang Xiachu's slap just now was so hard that half of her face was numb from the pain, and she even forgot how to fight back.
She was stunned for a moment, raised her hands to cover her face, and a pain instantly spread through her nerves, and she immediately grimaced in pain.
She took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Xiachu.
She originally thought that Jiang Xiachu was still the submissive child, but she didn't expect that he would be humiliated in public by her today.
Jiang Hongyan stood there for a long time, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. Listening to the whispers around her, she became anxious and pointed at Jiang Xiachu and cursed: "No matter what, I have raised you. You are wrong to hit me!"
Jiang Xiachu sneered, "I have severed ties with you a long time ago. You are not my mother. I don't have a mother."
Jiang Hongyan was touched by her words. She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth and said, "So? Because of this, you want to find someone else to be your mother?"
"After finding Fang Yingqiu, do you still want to find Su Jieyu?"
When mentioning the latter name, Jiang Hongyan's face became particularly gloomy, even her voice was trembling, and her fists were clenched tightly.
Jiang Xiachu looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she had just said.
