Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Twenty Years Adrift as a Lonely Spirit Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Twenty Years Adrift as a Lonely Spirit The moment she charged in, Chiang Xiao felt a surge of violent rage rush to her mind, and she nearly wanted to pick up the pole again to beat this old pious hag to death!
Forget about the consequences, just savor the satisfaction of revenge!
If people from the Old Chiang Family were all to come over, she would take up the axe and fight them to the death, taking out as many as she could!
Just then, more images suddenly flashed through her mind—in her previous life, after she died filled with resentment, her spirit lingered in that world, drifting and observing the tides of humanity, as well as witnessing the lives of all those related to her after her death.
From her death in 1997 to the year 2017.
She had forgotten about that period of her wandering soul’s journey.
She had always thought that after she died from being pushed down the stairs, she opened her eyes and returned to the present.
But that wasn’t the case.
In the moment when Ho Laidi swung the thick wooden club at her fiercely, Chiang Xiao shuddered and immediately dodged out of the way.
Her rebirth wasn’t the result of a tragic death but rather after 20 years of wandering as a Lonely Spirit.
Now, was she really going to seek fleeting satisfaction from revenge, to perish together with Ho Laidi and the Old Chiang Family? Was she going to waste the chance to live her life over again so recklessly?
Their lives weren’t worth another of hers in exchange!
Besides, if she died, what would happen to her grandparents? Make them suffer through another lifetime?
Once she had this realization, Chiang Xiao’s mind was incredibly clear.
She immediately pulled her grandmother behind her grandfather, screaming, “Grandpa, Grandpa, save me, please!”
At Chiang Xiao’s cry, Chiang Songhai recalled the words he had just heard—before they returned, Chiang Baohe had wanted to beat Chiang Xiao to death, and now his sister-in-law was making a scene about hitting her. Could it be that his favorite granddaughter was going to be beaten right in front of his eyes?
Look at the viciousness of his sister-in-law!
That spatula had been used for many years, its edges honed thin and sharp, as it came crashing down towards Little’s face. If Little hadn’t dodged just now, it could have easily sliced her face!
Look at Chiang Xiao now, so scared that she could only hide behind him. Wasn’t this her trust that he could protect her?
If he couldn’t protect her, what face would he have left in front of his granddaughter?
“You dare to dodge? Chiang Xiao, get out here! Can’t I even discipline you now? You insolent wretched skin!” Ho Laidi, having been a village woman all her life, and always one to stand out, cursed sharply. She tried to get past Chiang Songhai to hit Chiang Xiao, all the while cursing, “Going around itching and provocatively enticing Ji Desheng, how dare you frame your Second Uncle – I’ll spank your mouth rotten!”
Chiang Xiao didn’t respond to her, just kept shouting, “Grandpa save me!”
Chiang Songhai, already full of rage, his face grew even darker at hearing Ho Laidi’s unbearable insults.
He abruptly reached out and grabbed Ho Laidi’s wrist, snatched the wood club away, and threw it to the side.
Since Ho Laidi married into the Chiang Family, Chiang Songhai had never raised his voice at this eldest sister-in-law.
So when he suddenly did now, not only was Ho Laidi stunned, but so was Song Xiyun, happily watching the commotion, and Ge Liutao, who Chiang Xiao had pulled away, all momentarily taken aback.
Chiang Xiao breathed a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
Her grandfather doted on her and cared for her, but he had also always shown respect to his eldest sister-in-law.
Moreover, in his heart, Chiang Xiao was the junior. If she really confronted Ho Laidi, he would still have Chiang Xiao back down, for the sake of filial piety.
“What is this, Second Uncle?” Ho Laidi only hesitated for a moment before regaining her composure, her face black as the bottom of a pot.
Chiang Songhai’s momentum instantly deflated a great deal.
Just as he was about to soften his tone, Chiang Xiao sensed trouble and quickly tugged at him.
The moment Chiang Songhai turned around, he saw Chiang Xiao’s tear-filled eyes.
