Chapter 38 You are the best stepmother in the world
Bai Haitang cried for a while, but Jiang Hanyan remained indifferent. She had to stop crying, feeling indescribably uncomfortable. No matter who she was facing, as long as she cried, those people would react.
Her husband and Xuehai would say nice things to coax her, and although Lu Chen was not good at coaxing people, his attitude would soften. Only this daughter-in-law was as cold as a piece of ice.
How can this be?
Bai Haitang felt so wronged, her eyes were red, as if she was bullied. She looked at Jiang Hanyan pitifully and whispered, "Who told you I was dead? Was it Lu Chen?"
There was a hint of resentment in her tone, and I knew that Lu Chen hated her and wished she was dead.
But it's difficult for her too. Lu Chen's father has no ambition and owes so much money that she will never be able to pay it back in her lifetime. If she leaves the Lu family, it will also reduce the burden on them.
It's not that she doesn't want to raise her son. After Lu Chen's grandfather passed away, she took Xiao Chen to live with her. But Xiao Chen had such a bad temper. He quarreled with Old Tang and bullied Xue Hai, making a mess of their home. It was so difficult for her to be caught in the middle. She was in dire straits every day.
But she didn't chase Lu Chen away. He left on his own. What could she do? She had already tried her best!
Thinking that her own son actually said behind her back that she was dead, Bai Haitang was overwhelmed with grief, and her tears fell like beads from a broken string. If a man saw this, he would definitely feel pity for her.
But Jiang Hanyan wouldn't, she would just get annoyed.
"Lu Chen lives alone and has no access to hot meals. I thought his family was all dead, but I never thought you were still alive and well. There's a song that goes, 'A child with a mother is a treasure, and a child without a mother is a weed. Tsk, this song is wrong. I think a child with a mother is worse than a weed!"
Jiang Hanyan mocked without any hesitation. Although Lu Chen's father was a good-for-nothing, that was no reason for Bai Haitang to abandon her son. When Lu Chen's grandfather passed away, he was only fifteen years old.
Still a child, and with a huge debt, this woman lived comfortably in the Tang family and even invited Lu Chen to live with her for half a year. The book only said that Lu Chen had a bad relationship with the Tang family and left after half a year.
After that, Bai Haitang never cared about Lu Chen again. He earned his living expenses and tuition fees by himself. They lived in the same city, and the Tang family and the Lu family were only a dozen minutes' walk away. As a mother, she could be so cruel as to not care about her son's life or death.
Just like that beastly father Lu Chen, none of them are good people!
Jiang Hanyan was determined to enforce justice and scold her parents who were worse than beasts.
If you don't have the ability to raise a child, then don't give birth to one! Bai Haitang's face turned purple-red, and the tears that had just stopped began to flow again. She choked up and defended herself: "I... I didn't ignore Xiaochen. I took him home to live with me, and he left on his own..."
She felt so wronged. She had already fulfilled her responsibilities, why was she being scolded?
It was obviously Xiaochen who was ignorant, so why couldn't she get along well with Old Tang and his son? Couldn't she think about her difficulties? "Yes, you were so kind that you took her to live with you. You are really a loving mother. Your biological son is a weed, and your stepson is a treasure. If Fucheng were to select the best stepmother, you would definitely win first place!"
Jiang Hanyan is usually very easy to talk to, but once she dislikes someone, she will no longer pretend to be nice to them. She will speak with sarcasm and ridicule that person to the point that he wants to die.
In her previous life, she had seen many children abandoned by their parents in an orphanage. To be honest, few children in the orphanage had a good life. They basically spent their entire lives trying to find ways to fill the gap in their hearts, but even until death, it would be impossible to make up for it.
The wounds of childhood will never heal.
This is all caused by irresponsible parents. It's a pity that parents never have to take any exams. They create a life after a night of fun and then abandon their children without any psychological burden.
Jiang Hanyan sneered repeatedly. If Bai Haitang had cared and protected Lu Chen enough, how could he leave the Tang family?
A child of only fifteen years old, he longed for maternal love so much. Even though Bai Haitang treated him so badly, after Lu Chen became rich, he basically fulfilled Bai Haitang's requests, and even died young because of her stupidity.
This Bai Haitang is Lu Chen's nemesis.
Jiang Hanyan was determined to keep Lu Chen away from this stupid woman. Her life depended on Lu Chen, and this miser must live a long life!
"No, it's difficult for me too. Xuehai is very sensible, but Xiaochen has a bad temper and is always disobedient. I..."
Bai Haitang cried and explained that she loved her son, how could she not love him, Lu Chen was the flesh and blood that fell from her body! But Lu Chen's temper was really too bad, it was really difficult for her!
"Lu Chen is disobedient? Didn't you abandon him first? You were the first to let him down, so what qualifications do you have to ask him to be obedient and sensible? Even if Lu Chen doesn't live with you, have you ever taken care of his life? What does he eat and wear? Where does his tuition come from? Have you ever taken care of him when he was sick? Of course you didn't. You haven't even given the most basic motherly love, but you want Lu Chen to be a filial and obedient son. Ha... You are so shameless!"
Jiang Hanyan was so angry that she laughed. How could there be such a shameless woman?
She never gave anything, only asked for things from Lu Chen, and she even said that she had a hard time? "You have a hard time. You are trying your best to please the Tang family. You have to sleep with Tang Zhihua like a female stepmother at night, and be a kind and good stepmother during the day. You are so busy that you don't have time to take care of your biological child. Anyway, as long as you cry, Lu Chen, the fool, will come running over. Of course, you don't need to bother to take care of him!"
Jiang Hanyan's words were extremely unpleasant, not giving Bai Haitang any face at all. She didn't dislike a dodder that depended on men for survival. Everyone has his or her own way of survival, which was beyond reproach. But this dodder came up to her and disgusted her, so don't blame her for her unpleasant words.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Bai Haitang was about to faint. She had lived for more than forty years and had never heard such explicit and harsh words. Someone actually said that she looked like a female branch woman. It was too... too much.
"You can't say that to me. I'm your mother-in-law. I'll talk to Lu Chen." Bai Haitang mustered up the courage to warn Jiang Hanyan.
"Oh, I'm so scared, go talk to Lu Chen now!"
Jiang Hanyan snorted with disdain. Half of the space belonged to Lu Chen, and it was also on her. She wished Lu Chen would turn against her so that she could occupy the space alone with a clear conscience.
Bai Haitang was so angry that her face turned pale. She even forgot the purpose of her visit and glared at Jiang Hanyan sadly.
They didn't see Lu Chen standing at the door, and they didn't know how long he had been listening.
Bai Haitang calmed down and finally remembered her purpose. She accused him, "Why did you let the rooster peck Xue Hai's head? Did Lu Chen ask you to do it?"
Tang Xuehai had five stitches on his head. At first, he refused to say who did it. Later, he only said that he was injured at Lu Chen's home. Old Tang was very unhappy. Bai Haitang was worried, so she wanted to come over to understand the situation and warn Lu Chen not to bully Tang Xuehai again.
Lu Chen at the door tensed up, his fists clenched unconsciously, he pursed his lips, and a chill emanated from his whole body.
