"Lazy woman, it's already dawn, and you're still not up to work. If you can't find any food, can't you at least do some work?" Wang Fen's voice instantly made Zhou Lan stand up in a fit of rage.
She was already burning with anger listening to how her younger daughter talked about starving and working for the past two days. Now, this old lady still dared to provoke her.
It was true that people respected the old and loved the young, but it did not mean that those who did not respect their elders and bullied their children were worthy of respect.
Seeing Zhou Lan's reaction, Jiang Xia quickly wrapped her arms around her mother's waist and said in a low voice, "Mum, my dear mother, calm down. If you beat up that old lady now, we'll never be able to part from this family."
Jiang Chuan took his wife's arm and nodded in agreement. With his wife's current strength, one punch from her would send Wang Fen straight to the hospital.
Zhou Lan's mind gradually calmed down under the two's continuous consoling, but her chest was still rising and falling.
At the thought of how they locked her younger daughter out of the house, refused to give her any food, and even mixed wild vegetables with husks just to tell her that it was her only meal, Zhou Lan felt like beating the Jiang family to death.
"A family of jinxes, lazy people, only knows how to eat and not bring food back home, giving birth to a few money-losing goods, and yet I can't sell it? Why can't I sell it? It grew up eating my Jiang family's rice. If I say it can be sold, it can be sold."
Wang Fen's courage grew when she heard her husband say that the family could not be separated. When she thought of Jiang Chuan's timid personality, she was even more confident that Jiang Chuan was just saying it for the sake of it and didn't want to move out.
As long as Wang Fen said she wasn't selling her, there was nothing the others could do to stop her. It doesn't matter if they get married. What's important is that she sent her there and received the money.
Wang Fen had decided to use her old attitude to deal with the Jiang Chuan family.
Jiang Chuan opened the door with a kick and stared at his mother with a blank expression while still standing inside the room.
Wang Fen was frightened by her son's expression and subconsciously took two steps back.
Realizing that she had been frightened by the brat, she looked down. Wang Fen got even more angry and annoyed. She cursed, "Jiang Chuan, what is your family doing? It's already bright, and you're still not working. Do you want me to die of exhaustion?"
"Your head no longer hurts?" Jiang Chuan looked at his mother and asked with a gloomy expression. He then glanced at the door that had just been installed swaying because of his kick.
Jiang Chuan's words made his mother look at the door as if she felt the pain of being hit by the door again.
"Jiang Chuan, you still dare to mention it? That money-losing thing of yours deliberately hit me with a door. You have to pay me for the doctor's treatment."
Jiang Chuan and his mother looked at each other and suddenly sneered. He walked past Wang Fen and went straight to the door.
"Jiang Chuan! Jiang Chuan! Where do you think you are going?" Wang Fen continued shouting, but it didn't stop Jiang Chuan. Seeing Jiang Chuan leave without looking back, she immediately pointed her finger at the people in the room.
"You damn bastards, why aren't you calling Jiang Chuan back!" For some reason, Wang Fen felt terrible when she saw Jiang Chuan acting like this.
Jiang Xia held her mother, who was about to fly into a rage, with one hand and her sister, who was hiding behind her in fear, with the other. As they walked out, Jiang Xia said with a smile, "Grandma, why should we call him back? Didn't father agree to your request to go out and work?"
"He doesn't look like he's going to work! It's clearly…"Wang Fen didn't need to finish her sentence for everyone to know what she would say.
Seeing that Jiang Gu was strolling out of fear of the old lady, Jiang Xia asked her mother to carry her.
When the three of them walked past the old lady, Jiang Xia pulled Zhou Lan's arm and made them stop beside her.
Jiang Xia raised her head and flashed a sweet smile at her grandma. She then spoke in a voice that could only be heard by the four of them, "Grandma, I've kept a note of how you've mistreated my family and me all these years. One day, you will have to repay us. In fact! This morning, I was still hoping if the door could be a little thicker and I could smash it directly on you until you never got up again. Would that be doing you a favor?"
After saying that, Jiang Xia pulled her mother along and left the Jiang family's residence.
She only took a few steps when she heard her grandma's furious roar. This time, she didn't have the mood to suppress her voice, and her curses spread far and wide.
"Jiang Xia, you worthless piece of shit! I'll sell you out sooner or later!"
