“Brother, sister-in-law, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but your Jiang Xi really needs to be taught a good lesson. She’s already broken off the engagement three times. If she can’t get married, it’ll affect the reputation of our grandchildren. If you don’t teach her a good lesson, you’ll be the one who will be criticized in the future. My Jiang Lin only wants to be filial to her elders and give her grandmother a piece of meat, but your Jiang Xi is so cowardly.” Tian Hong looked at Jiang Xi as if she was hopeless.
Tian Hong’s words were harsh, and Jiang Guoyou’s face turned red.
“Big brother, don’t blame me for speaking out of turn. Although we have the same father but different mothers, we are still biological brothers. Your family’s Jiang Si will have great prospects in the future. If this were to spread around and your family is known for being unfilial, I’ll be displeased,” Jiang Guoan said unhurriedly after he had settled down.
Jiang Si immediately looked up at Jiang Xi, a flash of disgust in his eyes.
“Jiang Xi, give these to grandma. Pick out some good gifts from the Zhao family yesterday and give them to grandpa and grandma.” Yang Fen spoke before Jiang Guoyou. The Zhao family had given such a grand gift yesterday, and the news had probably spread in the village. If the Old Master of the Jiang family told the outside world anything, it would definitely be detrimental to the Jiang Si in the future. Being unfilial was a serious crime in this world.
Jiang Xi finished a chicken leg in silence and did not say a word. She watched as Yang Fen and the others made the decision for her, and she acted as if it was only natural.
“We’re all family, so don’t be too polite. Just take something you don’t want and stuff the mouths of outsiders. However, you’ve really spoiled Jiang Xi by giving her so many things.” The corners of Old Madam Jiang’s mouth twitched, and she was still shamelessly trying to be polite.
Jiang Xi looked at Old Madam Jiang in a daze. Jiang Guoan smiled. The Zhao family had sent him good things. He did not know what kind of luck Jiang Guoyou’s family had to be able to win the Zhao family’s favor. Jiang Guoan was both jealous and proud. He was preparing to run for the position of the village chief. If he could get close to the Zhao family, the position of village chief would most likely be in his hands.
At this moment, Jiang Xi suddenly raised her head and glanced at Jiang Guoan. She seemed to have sensed Jiang Guoan’s thoughts and could not help but complain. How could he be the village chief with such a stupid look? How could he lead the village? He was not even as good as her little wild boar. Jiang Guoan would be worse than her as the village chief!
The others did not know what Jiang Xi was thinking. They all stared at Jiang Xi as if to say, “Why are you so insensible? For the future of your fourth brother, Jiang Si, hurry up and show some respect.” Although Jiang Guoyou’s family did not have a good relationship with the people from the old residence, they would maintain a superficial harmony when it came to the reputation of the Jiang Si. However, Jiang Shan was one-track-minded.
“What does it have to do with Jiang Xi? The gifts from the Zhao family are all for Jiang Xi and Jiang Xi’s own. If Jiang Si wants to be filial, he went to buy his own things as gifts. Why would he take Jiang Xi’s things?” Jiang Shan touched the back of his head, looking puzzled. “Besides, Jiang Si still owes Jiang Xi a lot of money. He hasn’t paid back the money that Jiang Xi got when her engagements were canceled, and now he wants to ask Jiang Xi for something. Won’t he owe more and more money? ”
Jiang Xi pursed her lips and gave Jiang Shan a thumbs up in her heart. ‘Third brother is awesome!’
“Jiang Shan, don’t talk so much. Jiang Xi is your younger sister. What’s wrong with a younger sister helping her elder brother? Jiang Xi will still need your help in the future. Don’t you agree, Jiang Xi?” Jiang Guoyou quickly said. Although Jiang Guoyou had not received any favor from the old residence over the years, he still had some respect for his father in his heart. Even if the dowry left behind by his mother had been taken by his stepmother, and he had been kicked out of the family with nothing when he separated from the family, the blood relationship was still connected to him. It was impossible for it to really be severed.
Jiang Guoyou was thinking about the friendship between the two families, while Yang Fen was thinking about the reputation of Jiang Si. Jiang Xi’s dark eyes darted around as the number of chicken bones in her hand increased. The people in the room were not of one mind, but they had joined forces to force a fragile girl like her to hang herself three times for their own interests. They were really shameless.
“Since you’ve said to just give the things we don’t like as gifts, then I’ll give this to you!” After saying that, Jiang Xi quickly grabbed the chicken bone and stuffed it into the mouth of the Old Madam of the Jiang family. She even threw it in with all her might and said with a serious expression, “I’ll give you the chicken bones, so you must finish them.” She spoke with a serious and ferocious expression. If people who were familiar with Jiang Xi were here, they would definitely get run as far as possible, because this was a sign that Jiang Xi was about to get angry.
