She couldn’t help but to shout, "Chiang Xiao, do you have no heart or lungs of a human? I am still your aunt by marriage! Who said our families have severed ties? It’s you, this damned girl, who keeps causing trouble every three days! Go ask your grandparents; with your family living it up in this county town and not even caring about relatives from the old home, does that seem right to you? Come on, where do you live? Lead the way; I’m going to ask your Second Uncle and Second Aunt myself!"
As she spoke, she reached out to grab Chiang Xiao.
Chiang Xiao stepped aside to avoid her hand.
"Our family does not welcome you. Do whatever you need to do, and go wherever you need to go."
Chiang Xiao, tired of wasting words with them, turned to leave again.
Suddenly, Chiang Caijiao’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground. "Caijiao! Hey, Caijiao! What are you trying to do, dying here?" Song Caiyun’s shrieks suddenly drew a crowd.
Yu Hang and Xi Minghui were both startled and immediately moved to check on Chiang Caijiao, but were stopped by Chiang Xiao.
They all looked at her with surprise.
Regardless of everything, her cousin had fainted, hadn’t she? And she was just a kid; they couldn’t just ignore her.
Chiang Xiao, having stopped them, tried to leave once more.
Song Xiyun crouched down and nudged Chiang Caijiao, seeing her lie motionless with eyes tightly shut and a pale face, truly frightened for once. At a loss, she looked at Chiang Xiao in a panic but saw her attempting to leave with indifference. Song Xiyun immediately screamed and lunged at her.
"Chiang Xiao, are you even human? Your sister has fainted. It’s our first time in the county town, we’re strangers here, and yet you want to leave us behind? What is your heart made of? If we all died out here, would that make you happy?"
Song Xiyun’s fear and panic at that moment were genuine.
Having lived for over thirty years, she had only known her natal village and her husband’s village, taking small advantages among the neighbors, and she’d rarely been at the front lines of any quarrel or fight.
She had asked Chiang Baoguo several times to bring them to the county town, but he always put it off with excuses of being too busy at work, not having a house in the town, and it being inconvenient to stay in the factory dormitory.
This time, Song Xiyun couldn’t hold back anymore and came without telling him.
But after arriving in the county town, she realized that it was much larger than Peace Town, and one couldn’t just find the way by knowing the name of a factory and asking a few people.
After they got off the bus, someone at the station gave her a rough direction and pointed out a bus route. She absentmindedly took Caijiao on the bus, but after they got off, she was at a loss. The factory was nowhere in sight, so they aimlessly wandered, hoping to come across it.
It was unclear whether it was good or bad luck, but they happened to run into Chiang Xiao.
Now that her daughter had passed out, if Chiang Xiao ignored her, she really didn’t know what to do.
With her shout, the people around all looked at Chiang Xiao with condemnation.
"Young lady, no matter what grievances you had in the past, your cousin has fainted now. You can’t just stand by and do nothing."
The ice shop’s owner had also come out early, originally to watch the commotion. Now, seeing someone had fainted at her doorstep, she felt it was bad luck.
You just can’t have any misfortunes happen right at the entrance of your shop!
It is the last thing a business wants!
Chiang Xiao glanced at her, "Your shop has a phone right? Call her an ambulance, or otherwise, call the police."
