Jiang Ye got off the train exhausted and hurried back to Jiang's house, but he didn't expect that the door of Jiang's house was locked.
He frowned and wandered around the door for a long time. It was around five o'clock in the evening and Jiang Wentao should be getting off work soon.
He sat on the stone steps at the door of his house and waited, holding a bundle in his arms.
He hasn't eaten since this morning and is really feeling hungry.
After waiting for a long time, people passed by the Jiang family one after another. The neighbor next door was obviously stunned when he saw Jiang Ye.
"Jiang Ye, didn't you go back to Jing City to go to school? Why are you back?"
Jiang Ye brushed the dust off his butt and said in a low voice, "I came back to see my sister. I heard that my mother doesn't allow Jiang Mei to go to school anymore."
"Oh, I haven't heard of that. Jiang Mei is about to graduate from junior high school. How can she not be allowed to go to school?" Uncle Zhao, the neighbor, is also a kind-hearted person.
"I'll have to talk to your father when he comes back. He can apply for a job at the factory even after graduating from junior high school. Aren't they harming Jiang Mei by doing this?"
Jiang Ye looked towards home and sighed, "That's right. My sister finally made it to junior high school. How can she just stop studying now? I came back thinking that if my parents don't agree, I'll take Jiang Mei away."
Jiang Ye thought about it all the way. He considered that Jiang Mei was still young after all, and if she stayed with Jiang's father and mother, her life would be ruined.
As the two were talking, Jiang's father and mother came with Jiang Jie from a distance. The three of them were talking and laughing, and Jiang Ye could hear them clearly from a long distance away.
Jiang Wentao walked closer and saw that Jiang Ye had returned. He was a little confused. Jiang Ye had not told his family when he left, and he had not told his family when he suddenly returned.
This made Jiang Wentao feel dissatisfied that Jiang Ye didn't take him seriously. He asked in a very aggressive tone, "Why are you back?"
Jiang Ye glanced at Jiang Jie who was hiding behind Jiang's mother. Jiang Jie felt a little guilty. Now that he was back to normal, he wanted to go back to school, but he had a hard time getting into the first grade of elementary school. He had no choice but to beg Jiang's mother to pay for him to join the class.
It’s not that Jiang’s mother didn’t want to support Jiang Mei’s studies, but after giving the money to Yao Qiyue, there was no more money left in the family. She had to go back to her parents’ home and borrow a lot to pay off Yao Qiyue’s pension.
She thought that if Yao Qiyue left the job to Jiang Mei, it wouldn't matter whether Jiang Mei had a junior high school diploma or not, so she let Jiang Mei drop out of school and go to work.
After Jiang Mei starts working, there will be two people in the Jiang family earning salaries. Not only can she pay off the family’s debts, but she can also support Jiang Jie’s studies.
Everything was going well, but Jiang Ye came back unexpectedly, which gave her a bad feeling.
"Why don't you come in and sit down when you come back? What are you chatting with others at the door?"
Jiang Ye knew that Jiang Wentao and Wu Meiyue were too proud to admit what he had discussed with their neighbor, Uncle Zhao. He replied perfunctorily, "Nothing."
"I don't have the key to our house, how can I get in?"
Mother Jiang was a little embarrassed. Ever since Yao Qiyue and Jiang Ye moved out, she had changed the key. When she wanted to get Yao Qiyue, Mother Jiang opened the door and said sarcastically, "This is our Jiang family, not your Yao family. What are you doing back here?"
Jiang Ye's voice was a little cold. He looked at Jiang's mother's back and said, "Really? I'm afraid that if I go back to the Yao family, the lock won't open either."
Jiang's mother's back stiffened, and she regretted what she said the moment she said it.
The Yao family is now occupied by her younger brother Wu Guoliang and his family. Thinking about Jiang Ye's sudden return and saying these things, Jiang's mother guessed in her heart: "Did you hear some nonsense from someone in Beijing?"
"Why do you come back looking for trouble? If you want to go back to the Yao family, go back. No one will stop you."
Jiang Ye looked at Jiang's mother's fearless look and became more disappointed: "No one told me anything, I went there on my own."
Jiang Wentao interrupted Jiang Ye impatiently: "Are you back here to confront me and your mother?"
"It's true that after going to college, I'm completely different. Now I don't even recognize my relatives anymore."
Jiang Ye's body stiffened and he said calmly, "I didn't."
"The Yao family's house originally belonged to Yao Qiyue. Even if she wasn't here, it was still hers. You gave the house to my uncle without her permission. That's stealing."
Jiang Wentao picked up the shovel on the corner without saying a word and hit Jiang Ye on the waist.
Jiang Ye didn't dodge or evade, but stood there and took it. He was sweating on his forehead due to the pain, but he managed to utter through gritted teeth: "You just want to take July's money."
Seeing that Jiang Ye was still refusing to give in after being beaten, Jiang Wentao angrily shouted, "You're talking nonsense."
"Once Yao Qiyue married into the Jiang family, she became one with them. Prosperity and adversity are shared."
"She's not staying in South City anymore. The house is empty anyway. What's wrong with letting our family live there?"
"You young people are so hypocritical. You don't know how to put your extended family first. You are so selfish and self-interested."
Jiang Ye didn't expect Jiang Wentao to be so good at making excuses. He didn't even think he had done anything wrong, and he said that he and Yao Qiyue were selfish.
His eyes were firm, and he looked at Jiang Wentao as if he was looking at a despicable person.
Under Jiang Ye's clear gaze, Jiang Wentao felt that his words were pale and powerless.
"Qiyue would rather burn down the Yao family's house than let any of you live there. You'd better move out as soon as possible."
"If you still don't let my uncle move out by tomorrow afternoon, I will call the police."
Seeing Jiang Ye's determined expression, Jiang's mother cried and said, "Jiang Ye, your father and I raised you, and this is how you repay us?"
"Isn't it just a house? If you go back and tell Yao Qiyue that no one lives there, will she still come back to check?"
"Why would our family say such things?"
Jiang Ye watched as Jiang's mother's words became increasingly outrageous, and he couldn't help but interrupt: "Mom, people should have a conscience. Uncle Yao saved my dad, and this is how our family treats his only daughter?"
Jiang's mother's cucumber was interrupted, her face looked extremely ugly, and she looked at Jiang Ye with a sharp cold gaze.
"You are the only one in our family who has a conscience. Can conscience be eaten?"
"If Yao Qiyue hadn't forced me to ask for money, would I have asked your uncle to lend me money?"
"To tell you the truth, I mortgaged the Yao family's house to your uncle's family for 200 yuan."
"It's impossible for you to go back."
Jiang Ye looked at Jiang's mother, who was determined not to return the house, and was extremely disappointed. "Okay, then let's go to the Public Security Bureau and talk it over."
Jiang Ye was about to walk out. Jiang Jie hadn't said a word, but now he quickly hugged Jiang Ye's thighs and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. I think our mother is right."
"Go back and tell Yao Qiyue that no one lives in this house. She won't know."
"We are a family. There is no benefit in helping Yao Qiyue like this."
"Brother, think about it carefully and don't do anything stupid."
