There was a series of urgent knocks on Jiang Chuan’s door half an hour after Zhou Lan left.
Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia made eye contact before opening the door.
“Xiao Wu? Why are you here?” Jiang Chuan said, pretending he had just woken up.
“Jiang Chuan brother! Why are you still sleeping? Your wife went to your parent’s place to make a scene!” Xiao Wu said anxiously.
“What?” Jiang Chuan acted shocked. Jiang Xia who was eavesdropping on the conversation silently praised her father’s acting skills.
“Oh gosh! Jiang Chuan let’s not discuss this any further. Hurry up and follow me!” Xiao Wu said as he gestured for Jiang Chuan to leave quickly.
Glancing at Jiang Xia, Jiang Chuan said, “Take good care of Xiao Gu. I’ll go with Uncle Wu to take a look.”
…..
Jiang Xia nodded obediently and quickly returned to the house after her father left.
At this moment, Jiang Gu had also woken up and was looking at Jiang Xia with a confused expression.
Jiang Xia took out a singlet from her bags filled with clothes and put it on. The singlet managed to reveal a bruise from her shoulder to her back.
The bruise was not obvious yesterday. However, after a night, it looked really swollen and slightly scary.
Jiang Gu’s eyes reddened when she saw Jiang Xia’s injury.
“Jiang Xia, I’m sorry.”
Jiang Xia was stunned as she didn’t understand why Jiang Gu had such a reaction. But she was able to understand when she noticed Jiang Gu gazing at her shoulder.
Jiang Xia’s intention was to show the other villagers her injuries to let them know that her mother had a valid reason to destroy the Jiang family house. She did not expect Jiang Gu to be so affected.
Jiang Xia caressed Jiang Gu’s head, “Don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt anymore. Our mother has gone to avenge us. I have to show this wound so that others can see why our mother is so angry.”
Jiang Xia wasn’t lying for the sake of comforting Jiang Gu. In fact, it really didn’t hurt anymore. Perhaps it was because she drank more water from her interspace last night.
“Mother will avenge us?” Jiang Gu tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xia in confusion.
“Yes, I’ll bring you to see how our mother teaches those people a lesson.”
Jiang Gu was curious when she saw how confident Jiang Xia was.
Although her mother had changed, she still did not look like she enjoyed speaking in front of others. Will her mother be able to teach them a lesson?
When Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu arrived, they saw the two sides confronting each other.
Old Jiang glared at Jiang Chuan with red eyes. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Gui’s wife glared at Zhou Lan.
When everyone saw the two girls of the Jiang family, they all made way for them.
As soon as they walked in, Jiang Xia heard the old man shout, “Jiang Chuan, you unfilial son, you actually let your wife destroy your father’s place?”
Jiang Chuan shielded Zhou Lan behind him and didn’t answer.
When Old Jiang saw that the village chief had arrived, he immediately went up to him and cried, “Village chief! You have to stand up for my family! Jiang Chuan, that unfilial son, actually asked his wife to come to my house, and destroy it! I really can’t acknowledge this son anymore.”
The village chief glanced around and frowned slightly. He looked displeased, but he didn’t scold Jiang Chuan.
“Jiang Gui also went to Jiang Chuan’s house to destroy it. You guys are even now. Jiang Chuan has already been separated from your family. It’s up to you whether you want to acknowledge him or not.”
The village chief had long hated the Jiang family to the bone. When the Jiang family let Jiang Chuan leave with nothing, they didn’t give him and the elders any face.
Old Jiang felt suffocated by the village chief. His mouth opened and closed, but he could not say anything in the end.
Old Jiang had some dignity after being scolded by the village chief, but Madam Jiang was shameless. She shouted at the top of her lungs, “Village chief, you can’t say that. Jiang Chuan grew up in this family after all. He has been eating my family’s rice for decades. I’m already kind enough not to ask him for the expenses of raising him for so many years.”
Jiang Xia rolled her eyes at Madam Jiang. In the past, Jiang Chuan had been able to stay with the Jiang family for so many years because he had exchanged his life for it. Otherwise, he would not have died in vain on the mountain.
If it wasn’t for the fact that their family had come over, she would have felt terrified just thinking about what would happen next.
Jiang Chuan’s family died in the mountains, and Jiang Gu was left alone in this wolf den. Even though Jiang Gu was still young, judging from Madam Jiang’s attitude, she was afraid that Jiang Gu would be sold to be a child bride before she grew up..
