Jiang Yonghua left his words listlessly and went to the kitchen.
"Brother-in-law, hey," Zhang Jinbao was stunned. As a man, he knew that Jiang Yonghua was not just saying this to scare Zhang Xiuying. He looked at Jiang Yonghua's back, turned his head to look at Zhang Xiuying, and stamped his feet anxiously: "Second sister, you, what do you want me to say to you! Just make a scene and break up the family. Are you satisfied now?"
Jiang Yun looked at Zhang Xiuying coldly.
She never understood this willful mother.
When she makes a scene, she acts like a shrew. When she beats the child, it's like she's beating an enemy. One second she was arrogantly stepping on her sweater, and the next second she acts as innocent and pitiful as a punching bag.
As determined as she is, from an outsider's perspective, she still felt a little dazed and felt that Zhang Xiuying was so pitiful.
Even someone as soft-hearted as Jiang Yonghua would have taken back his decision if he had stood there for a few more seconds.
In fact, Jiang Jun just didn't believe that Jiang Yonghua could make up his mind.
There was a sound of running water coming from the kitchen. Jiang Yonghua was washing his hands. He didn't wash his hands in the basin, but rinsed them under the faucet with running water.
In the past, Zhang Xiuying could not tolerate this as it was too wasteful.
Zhang Jinbao sighed loudly and pulled Zhang Xiuying out of the hut: "Second sister, let's go. I'll take you back to work."
Zhang Xiuying had no expression on her face, like a robot with the switch turned off, and allowed Zhang Jinbao to pull her to the outer room.
Torn pieces of paper were scattered in the backyard. Jiang Jun took a look at them but didn't pick them up.
After the matter was cleaned up, it was over, but Zhang Xiuying would return to her old ways before she even left the house.
Jiang Yonghua washed his hands, didn't clean up the kitchen, and left without saying a word.
Zhang Jinbao was helpless and had to fill a half basin with water to wipe Zhang Xiuying's hands and face. He also poured her a cup of hot water. "Second sister, I'm going to pack my bags and go back to the factory soon. I think we should both work overtime this month to save up some vacation time and money. Then we can go back to the forest farm and bring our parents over to help take care of my brother-in-law and the child."
No wonder even Master Lu respects Danier!
Before leaving, Zhang Jinbao secretly pleaded with Jiang Jun: "Dani'er, I'm taking your mother away. I'll persuade her and make sure she never dares to act recklessly again. You stay home and persuade your father too. They must not get divorced, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find a partner in the future."
Jiang Jun liked her uncle very much and was unwilling to refute him in person, but she secretly thought in her heart: With a mother like this, it must be difficult to find a partner!
"If not for your mother, then for you and Erya," Zhang Jinbao secretly observed Jiang Jun's expressionless face. He was a little intimidated by his niece, so he changed his words: "Erya is still young. Her parents are divorced. No matter who she lives with, people will laugh at her. She either has a father or a mother, and motherless children are the easiest to be bullied."
Jiang Jun's face turned even paler. She seemed to be living a better life when she didn't have a father or a mother.
She's being bullied now that she has a mother, okay? The only person who dares to bully her is Zhang Xiuying, who claims to be her biological mother, okay!
Zhang Jinbao kept in mind what Master Lu said: the good future of your Zhang family all depends on Danier!
He gritted his teeth and almost knelt down: "Dani'er, even if my uncle begged you, and my uncle still wanted to get a permanent job, he would bring your grandparents to the city to live a city life for a few days. I told them about this in my last letter. Besides, even if your mother really divorced, where else can she go? Isn't it just back to the forest farm? Your grandma is in poor health and always says she won't live for a few more days. Oh, if your father finds her annoying, I will drag your mother away and not let her come back, and let her stay in the factory all the time, okay? Dani'er, you are the most sensible, why don't you persuade your father to be patient?"
When Jiang Yun mentioned her grandma, tears welled up in her eyes. She blinked her eyelashes and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Zhang Jinbao saw that there was hope and pleaded again, "Daniel, the kindness of our entire Zhang family combined can't outweigh your mother's."
That small courtyard in Laoyinggou Forest Farm, those days and nights of laughter, those people who treated her with all their heart and soul...
Jiang Yun was even more upset. It was clearly a matter between Jiang Yonghua and his wife, but so many people were involved to make Zhang Xiuying take the blame.
Why did things develop from her being abused to sympathy for Zhang Xiuying?
Why can you win people's sympathy by pretending to be a weak person?
When she was beaten and scolded and Zhang Xiuying pulled off the quilt and beat her in the middle of the night, who protected her?
Jiang Jun wiped away her tears. "Uncle, I can't control my dad's decision. If they really get divorced, I won't follow anyone and will live alone!" Okay, she admitted that her uncle and Zhang Xiuying were siblings, and she was just a random stranger. "Anyway, if one of them wants to torture me, they'll do it to death. If the other wants to protect me, they can't and will run faster than me."
If she doesn't explain the facts, the situation will really get distorted.
"Alas!" Zhang Jinbao sighed heavily. "Dani'er, I won't say anything more. No matter what, everyone in the Zhang family, except your mother, welcomes you. You don't have to live alone. I won't go to work, but will go up the mountain every day to chop firewood and gather wild vegetables to feed you!"
Zhang Jinbao was in a heavy mood. He picked up his clothes and left with Zhang Xiuying.
Jiang Lan, who was ignored by everyone, emerged from somewhere and timidly asked Jiang Jun, "Sister, will our mother come back?"
Jiang Jun ignored Jiang Lan: "Go ask our dad!"
Why does everyone act like Mr. Dongguo in front of her?
She doesn’t care what the adults do, sleeping is the most important thing!
Jiang Lan didn't get a satisfactory answer, and fearing that asking again would anger Jiang Jun, she shrank to the foot of the kang, hugged her knees and cried silently.
When I get tired of crying, I sit up and take a nap. When I wake up, I cry sadly for a while.
Jiang Lan's crying permeated Jiang Yun's dream.
When she woke up from her dream, she didn't know whether her dream matched the crying or Jiang Lan's crying created the dream for her.
In her dream, she was squeezed in the deformed car and unable to move. The airbag that popped out during the violent collision was covered in blood. Her arms and legs hurt, her head was splitting, and she could hear mournful sobs, one after another.
She wanted to see who was crying and wanted to comfort that person and say, "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet."
When she was thinking this, another figure appeared, bent down towards her, and gently called her, "Wake up, wake up."
Jiang Jun opened her eyes and saw Jiang Yonghua standing at the bedroom door, calling her and Jiang Lan to get up for dinner.
All the mess inside and outside the house had been carefully cleaned up by Jiang Yonghua.
We didn’t make dumplings for dinner, we just heated up the leftovers from lunch and served them on the table.
Jiang Jun had a good sleep and felt refreshed with a good appetite. He completely ignored Jiang Lan who was picking up rice with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yonghua spoke for the first time during dinner: "After dinner, Dad wants to tell you two something."
