Chapter 68: Criticising Meeting
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Lan patted Jiang Gu’s head while she rested her head on Zhou Lan’s shoulder, her face filled with happiness.
Jiang Chuan looked at Jiang Xia and saw her staring at Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu who were walking in front of her. Jiang Chuan said, “Are you envious of Xiao Xia?”
Jiang Xia turned to look at his frivolous father and rolled her eyes.
“What is there to be envious of? Father, don’t you remember how old I am? Am I at the age where this kind of thing still bothers me?”
Jiang Chuan agreed. After all, if they were still in their modern world, Jiang Xia was about to attend university already.
“Father, I was just thinking when Xiao Gu recovers she should learn self-defense from Mother. She is still so young, it is not good if she doesn’t have the ability to fight back when she meets people with ill intentions.”
After hearing Jiang Xia’s suggestion, Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and felt that it was feasible. He prepared to go home and have a chat with Zhou Lan.

The criticism meeting started before the sky turned dark. Jiang Gui’s family, Sun Li, and his wife stood in a row in front of the village committee square.
The village chief first recounted the matter, mainly explaining the reasons why they were having this meeting for them. Then, the people who made mistakes came forward to reflect on themselves and receive criticism and education.
Jiang Xia didn’t care about the others. She only paid attention to Madam Jiang, who was the last to come forward to reflect on herself.
The others all looked ashamed, but Madam Jiang’s stiff neck did not look like she was reflecting on herself. Instead, it looked like she was forced.
After the review, the village chief would use a few of them as examples to tell the villagers to be ashamed of them and not to make similar mistakes again.
However, the main point of the criticism meeting was not to preach, but to criticize. In the end, they would stand in the center and accept the public’s disdain. Only by letting everyone know how they would be scolded and humiliated if they made a mistake could they learn a lesson.
“Madam Jiang, you’re so old. Why don’t you stay at home? Why must you always cause trouble for Jiang Chuan and his family?”
Jiang Xia was curious about the answer too. She did not understand why Madam Jiang constantly seeks trouble with her father. If he was really not her biological son, then why did she adopt him back then? If he was her biological son, she had never treated Jiang Gui like this!
This made Jiang Xia confused.
“It’s not like you don’t know what kind of person this old lady is. It’s useless to ask her.” someone else replied.
Then, Jiang Xia heard the man whispering to someone else, “Let me tell you secretly, Madam Jiang is jealous of Jiang Chuan and his wife. Although Jiang Chuan and his wife have been living a hard life, the couple has always been very close. I heard that Jiang Fu didn’t like Wang Fen when she was young. Jiang Fu did not want these children. Moreover, the other brother’s wives were all chosen by Jiang Fu, only Jiang Chuan got to choose his own wife.”
“There’s such a saying?” The people who heard it were also very surprised.
“That’s right! That’s right! That’s why I never liked that family. Their family members are psychologically abnormal.”
Jiang Xia raised her eyebrows. This old lady was really sick! Jealous of her son and daughter-in-law!
The criticism continued, and the curses against the Jiang family became more and more unpleasant. Jiang Chuan saw that something was wrong and quickly covered his daughter’s ears. However, some unbearable curses still reached Jiang Xia’s ears one after another.
Seeing that it was about time, the village chief spoke up to stop the villagers who continued to curse. There had to be a limit to things. If they really went too far, it would not be easy to end it.
lianp Fu’s face turned nale from the scoldinp. hut he tried his best not to faint. Jiang Fu’s face turned pale from the scolding, but he tried his best not to faint.
During this time, Jiang Xia also heard a lot of gossip about the Jiang family.
For example, how Jiang Gui bullied people in the past, and which woman Jiang Fu liked before marrying Jiang Fu. These villagers almost dug up the Jiang family’s background, but the authenticity of the news was unknown.
Just as the meeting was about to end, Jiang Xia finally saw Madam Jiang’s face turn red.
Jiang Xia sighed in her heart. It was not easy to see Madam Jiang who was usually so thick-skinned to be ashamed.
After this meeting, Old Jiang’s family would be able to rest for a while. Why only a while?
Jiang Xia sneered. The Jiang family could see the hatred in their eyes.. It was still too early for them to really calm down!
