Hearing this, Jiang Zhining stopped and looked at the two people who were talking: "How can I be ungrateful and worthless?"
The two people who were talking didn't expect Jiang Zhining to stop and ask back, and were stunned for two seconds.
"Now everyone in North City knows that the Jiang family raised you for twenty years, but you ended up climbing up the social ladder and abandoning your parents."
"That's right. Even if you're not the Jiang family's biological daughter and they've raised you for twenty years, you shouldn't do this."
The two of them talked back and forth.
Jiang Zhining frowned: "Don't you know that I have been kicked out by the Jiang family? Don't say that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, let alone the fact that I married my man after I was kicked out of the house and ended up on the streets."
When they heard about being stranded on the streets, the audience pricked up their ears, wanting to listen carefully.
Just then, Lin Chunmei appeared in the hot pot restaurant carrying a bag, like a lady.
"Zhi Ning, so this is the shop you opened? Mom hasn't come to see it for a long time." Lin Chunmei said with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining said coldly: "Aunt Lin, my relationship with the Jiang family is not so good that I need their support to open a store."
Hearing this, Lin Chunmei sighed softly: "Alas, I know you still blame me and your father for wanting you to leave home. But at that time, An An would think of the injuries she had suffered when she saw you, and there was nothing your parents could do."
As she spoke, Lin Chunmei wiped away the non-existent tears.
When the spectators heard this, someone took the lead and said, "Even if the Jiang family did this, it's understandable. Anyone would be sad to see their own daughter living in poverty."
"That's right. After all, I raised you for twenty years."
Hearing the two onlookers leading the discussion, Jiang Zhining glanced sideways: "Everyone, I won't comment without knowing the full story. It's too early to speak, or you'll get slapped in the face later."
Seeing Jiang Zhining's bad tone, the person leading the discussion immediately said, "I think this woman must have made some money, so she doesn't take her adoptive parents seriously. Brothers and sisters, let's not help the evil."
"What the elder brother said makes sense. We shouldn't spend money to support ungrateful people. We are all people with conscience."
After hearing these inflammatory words, some customers who were about to enter the store withdrew to avoid being affected by the saliva.
For a moment, the hot pot restaurant was unusually deserted.
Lin Chunmei pretended to apologize and said, "Zhi Ning, did my words cause you any trouble?"
"Lin Chunmei, there's no one else here, stop pretending." Jiang Zhining said rudely.
Looking carefully at the girl in front of her, Lin Chunmei felt that she was different from the Jiang Zhining in her memory.
Jiang Zhining has been very pretty since she was little, but she doesn't have a strong aura. She likes to act coquettishly and cling to others. Although she is spoiled and pampered outside, she is filial to her parents.
The Jiang Zhining in front of him exuded an aura of alienation and aloofness.
Lin Chunmei put away her so-called motherly affection and said with a faint smile, "Zhi Ning, your father and I raised you for twenty years. Even when you left, we gave you two hundred yuan. Have you ever thought about how to repay this favor?"
Jiang Zhining couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Are you asking me to repay a favor? When you were raising me, weren't my biological parents also raising your daughter? Didn't you go to the clinic to make a scene for this compensation?"
It turned out that after learning that the clinic had taken the wrong baby, Lin Chunmei went to cause trouble. In order to calm the situation, the clinic paid the Jiang family several hundred yuan in compensation.
"That was given by the clinic, not by you." Lin Chunmei responded calmly, "We didn't give you the gift of life, but we did raise you."
Seeing her insisting on her, Jiang Zhining sneered, "Even if there was, I paid it off when you drove me away and snatched my engagement with Sheng Hao. If you want to make a fuss, then I will make a big fuss too."
Jiang Zhining paused: "After all, your Jiang family is not innocent."
Lin Chunmei knew that she would not get any advantage in this matter, so she changed the subject: "Even if you have left the Jiang family, you will always be our Jiang family's daughter."
Seeing that she came prepared, Jiang Zhining narrowed her eyes slightly: "What do you mean."
Lin Chunmei calmly took out her household registration booklet and said, "We are from the same household registration booklet... We are one family."
Jiang Zhining's pupils widened. She had actually forgotten about this matter because she was so busy!
He was pushed off the cliff and kicked out of the Jiang family the next day.
When she was about to marry Song Yuzhou, she did not go back to get her household registration booklet, but went to the police station to get a household registration certificate.
After getting married, I was busy working on my career and never thought about moving my household registration out.
Satisfied with her shocked expression, Lin Chunmei held her hand affectionately and said, "So, Zhining, you are destined to be a child of our Jiang family in this life."
Jiang Zhining pulled her hand back coldly: "So what if we're in the same household registration book? You treated me so badly back then, and you still expect me to treat you like my parents and be filial to you. Oh, what a dream."
Seeing this, Lin Chunmei raised her head and said, "Whether you want to or not, you have to be filial to us. We hold the household registration in our hands. You are our daughter."
Sitting down on the chair, Lin Chunmei crossed her legs and said, "If you dare to be unfilial, I will take the household registration book to Song Yuzhou's army. Then we will see whether Song Yuzhou still has the face to stay in the army and how he can get promoted."
At the end of her speech, Lin Chunmei's face was calculating.
After all, in this era, the conduct of soldiers is very important. Even if a military wife makes a mistake, it will have a negative impact on the soldier, directly affecting his promotion and salary increase in the army.
Jiang Zhining clenched her fists: "Are you threatening me?"
"That's a reminder," Lin Chunmei said with a smile. "Your hot pot restaurant is truly impressive. My daughter's business is so successful, and as a mother, I'm very pleased. Zhining, you're a smart person. Don't let these little things affect your business."
The hot pot restaurant, which was always crowded, was deserted today. Jiang Zhining understood that these rumors were all caused by Lin Chunmei.
No matter what era, people always attach importance to filial piety.
In addition, when Lin Chunmei spread rumors, she also beautified the image of the Jiang family.
In this way, Jiang Zhining will become the unkind, unjust and unfilial daughter.
The person who took the lead in stirring up the emotions of the crowd just now was probably someone she arranged.
The purpose was to force her to submit and acknowledge her identity as the daughter of the Jiang family.
At that time, they will be able to seek convenience outside by using the identities of Song Yuzhou's father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Don't even think about it." Jiang Zhining refused flatly.
Lin Chunmei stood up and patted her shoulder: "Don't answer like that first, think about it carefully. After all, North City is so small, it's easy for such a small thing to spread. Zhining, don't let your impulse hurt you and Song Yuzhou."
After saying that, Lin Chunmei proudly put the household registration booklet into her bag and left with satisfaction.
Jiang Zhining kicked the table in anger, but ended up getting hurt.
"We really can't be too careless." Jiang Zhining frowned.
