Chapter 31 Mother-Daughter Love
"Why are you dealing with my eldest grandson again?"
The Jiang family's elderly couple, who hadn't seen their precious child all day, came to wait for their child to get out of school. However, as soon as they entered the house, they heard their daughter-in-law cleaning up their eldest grandson. Old Mrs. Wang, who loved and protected her grandson, immediately became unhappy.
He rushed in and pulled his fat grandson behind him. Without even asking what was going on, he started scolding his daughter-in-law.
"You cruel woman! How hard must it be for the child to study outside all day? When you come home, instead of treating him to good food and drink, you point your finger at him and scold him. Where else in the world can you be a mother like you? My poor Yaozu..."
"Second brother."
"Oh, I know!"
The two sisters didn't move at all, but with that familiar voice, they immediately silenced Old Wang. Jiang Lao San also expressed his deep appreciation for his grandmother's love for him.
"Grandma, I don't want to be beaten today!"
"You damned girl, you always bully your brother at home. If you have the guts, why don't you go out and fight the world!
My dear grandson, you've lost a lot of weight in just one day. Come on, come with me. I've asked the kitchen to prepare some delicious food.
We won’t feed them, they are all yours…”
Old Wang dragged her eldest grandson away, mumbling to herself. However, Old Man Jiang, who came with her, saw the bruise on her eldest granddaughter's face and frowned in displeasure.
"Which bastard hit you? Tell grandpa, I'll go find his family!"
Jiang Wan smiled indifferently.
"If you go to their house, you might even have to pay for the medicine."
Well, this is what it means that your own child has not suffered any loss? The old man walked out with his hands behind his back, mumbling to himself.
"You're already a grown-up girl, what's the point of getting into a fight with someone out in public? Why don't you get your face fixed up? How can you look good with all those bruises on your face? You're getting more and more annoying to the adults day by day, and they don't know how to stop worrying..."
The grumbling sound became farther and farther away, and the three women in Anranju couldn't help but smile.
After sending the second girl back to the yard to play, Mrs. Xu took out the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment and applied it to the eldest girl while asking in a low voice.
"What's going on? According to your calculations, you wouldn't start a fight with Old Li's son on the first day you get to his house."
"Hahaha, mother, you are really good at praising people. What achievements have I made? Your daughter has always been good at subduing people with force.
I didn't do this for no reason. My family is in the right. Old Li's family probably doesn't have the nerve to come and fight, so don't worry."
She made a half-serious joke and got hit on the head by her mother.
"Who's joking with you? Tell me the truth. Now that your father is not home, we should be more restrained in our actions and not cause unnecessary trouble."
"Know."
After his mother helped him apply the ointment, Jiang Wan tilted his head and watched her stand up to wash her hands. His heart was filled with warmth, and his voice couldn't help but add a touch of softness and sweetness.
"Mother, do you think Prince Huai will win in the end?"
Xu took out a cotton handkerchief to wipe the water stains on her hands, looked outside the door out of habit, and then replied in a low voice.
"It's highly likely. But until the final conclusion is reached, no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents.
But since we have already stepped onto this boat, let us pray that it can safely weather the storm and reach the other shore."
"Well, you're right."
Leaning back in his chair, Jiang Wan whispered.
"Until the final word is reached, everything can be reversed."
"Why are you suddenly feeling so emotional? What did you encounter when you went to the Li family today that you can't figure out? Why don't you talk to mother about it?"
Mrs. Xu walked over to her daughter and sat down, smoothing her frizzy hair with her fingers.
I sighed in my heart.
Life was so hard in the past few years, and my two daughters suffered. When she and her sister were young, who didn't have long hair like clouds?
They are nothing like Wanjie'er and Hanjie'er, who are really as pitiful as a pair of young girls.
"You still have to eat the medicinal food I prepared for you on time. You can't just complain about it because you think it doesn't taste good. If you don't take good care of your flowers, wouldn't it be a waste of their flowering period?"
"I'm eating it. That thing isn't a magic pill. Can you swallow it and it'll suddenly come back to life? Don't worry about this and that all the time. With your mother's experience as an example, I promise that your second child will grow up to be a world-famous beauty!"
"You're always talking nonsense, girl. If anyone really grows up to be a beauty, you should definitely be one of them. My sister was once an unparalleled beauty!"
Xu never hesitated to mention her sister in front of her children. In fact, she was more afraid that everyone would forget the woman named Xu Ruojin, so she always told Jiang Wan and her sister how outstanding her sister was.
Although in Jiang Wan's eyes, this is just the most common behavior of a patient with a late-stage sister complex.
"Okay, okay, Mom, you are right.
Then I will try my best to grow up well, and strive to stand shoulder to shoulder with the second sister in the future, and dominate everyone with my beauty.
Don't worry, my dear sister, we two sisters will never lose the good reputation of your Jinyu sisters!"
"This kid! Who did he learn to be so talkative every day?"
Mrs. Xu was amused and smiled widely. She pinched her daughter's soft earlobe, her eyes filled with love.
"Don't get physical with others in public anymore. It's better for girls to be chaste and quiet.
Mother knows that you are strong and have a big heart.
But, sister, the world is often unfair to women, and it imposes many constraints. If you are too independent, you will only add to your troubles.
Sometimes, a peaceful life is a rare thing, so don't ask for too much, okay?"
Jiang Wan rested his head on his mother's frail shoulders, feeling a sense of peace in his heart. It was a feeling he had never had in his previous life, a feeling that brought him peace of mind.
"I know what's going on, don't worry."
"Mother knows my eldest sister is smart, don't worry."
Touching the soft hair on her daughter's head, a mother's love for her child is always so gentle and tolerant.
"Then tell me, why did you fight with others?"
When it came to serious matters, Jiang Wan immediately sat up straight and raised his eyes to look his mother in the eye.
"Mom, tell me the truth. When you sent us to the Li family, did you really intend to marry one of their children?"
"Why do you ask? Didn't I tell you already? Your father and I don't have such an idea."
Xu also answered with a serious face.
"If possible, Dad and Mom hope that you three can find your ideal partners in the future. After all, our family is just a peasant family with no family background to speak of, so there's no need to arrange marriage with anyone."
