In fact, for this adopted son, Chiang Songhai always felt a certain dislike. Still, he fulfilled his duty, raised him, and gave him a share of whatever the family had, sent him out as an apprentice. When Deng Qingjiang had a hard time outside, they still scrimped and saved to send money to him.
But once Deng Qingjiang left, it was as if he had cut all ties, hardly ever returning.
Over the years, Chiang Songhai always felt as if this adopted son might as well not have existed.
He even felt that if he and his wife were to pass away, there would be no one to find, let alone to expect him to return and play the filial son at their memorial service.
Thus, for many years, he and Ge Liutao only occasionally mentioned him, without any real expectations.
"Fine, Second, you're really something, saying that, next time Qingjiang comes back, I'll tell him the truth! Do you think you can still count on Chiang Xiao, that girl?" Chiang Songtao pointed at Chiang Xiao.
