Chapter 176: A Bunch of Bad People
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Old Madam Jiang didn’t visit Jiang Chuan’s family to discuss her eldest daughter’s location. If she did, she wouldn’t have brought her two daughters-in-law, who always argued.
Their loud arguments could be heard all the way outside the village.
Soon, many villagers were drawn by Old Madam Jiang’s yelling. They gathered around their house.
Back at home, Old Madam Jiang kept thinking and grew more and more upset.
Moreover, she heard from the villagers that Jiang Chuan’s family had renovated their house. After arriving home, she heard from Jiang Gui and his wife that the meals at Jiang Chuan’s house were much better than most families.
She might not believe others, but she trusted Jiang Gui right away. Seeing that the two sisters had indeed put on some weight compared to before, she immediately brought her two daughters-in-law over.
Why do they get to eat so well while 1 can’t even have enough food and good sleep at home?
Old Madam Jiang had only heard about Jiang Chuan building a house on the edge of the village, but hadn’t seen it.
On the day when Jiang Gui’s wife came to steal, Jiang Chuan’s house wasn’t as tidy as it is now, and there was not much furniture. Now, in such a short time, Jiang Chuan’s family had a big table that seemed very expensive.
When Jiang Gui’s wife saw the table, she planned to find a reason to take it later.
They were the older family. Wasn’t it right for the younger family to share some good things with them?
The Jiang Hua’s wife was even more greedy. She liked the design of Jiang Chuan’s house and planned to kick them out again to take the house.
Soon, an argument started. Especially Old Madam Jiang, who believed that Jiang Chuan’s things should be shared with her.
At this time, the old Master Jiang didn’t appear. Jiang Xia knew he silently approved of these women’s actions.
Now, Old Madam Jiang acted like she was being mistreated, saying that Jiang Chuan’s family had forgotten about their mother since they got money. She complained that she had worked hard to raise the children, but was not being thanked for it.
Jiang Hua’s and Jiang Gui’s wife joined in, saying how sad their mother-in-law was, unable to eat or dress well, and that Jiang Chuan, the youngest in the family, didn’t care.
This group was causing a commotion in the yard of Jiang’s house, crying and yelling. If you didn’t know better, you’d think someone in the house had passed away.
Zhou Lan didn’t let them in the house. She let them cry and argue in the yard, without looking at them.
Old Madam Jiang thought Zhou Lan was still the quiet and timid woman she used to be. She pointed at Zhou Lan and shouted at her rudely, becoming more aggressive with each insult.
Just when Old Madam Jiang stopped shouting, Jiang Xia came in.
Usually, Zhou Lan would have already prepared to argue. But now, Jiang Xia saw her mother staying quiet, putting up with Old Madam Jiang’s mean words.
Jiang Xia couldn’t stand this. She walked up to Old Madam Jiang and said, “Grandma, what’s wrong with you? Haven’t we already split our houses? Why are you here again?”
Seeing Zhou Lan staying silent, Old Madam Jiang was enjoying shouting, sometimes looking at the watching villagers. She was worried she would become the talk of the town if she was the only one yelling. She was upset about not having someone to argue with when Jiang Xia arrived.
She quickly switched her attention from Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan to Jiang Xia, pointing at her and saying, “Everyone, look at how my granddaughter talks! This is my son’s house, why can’t I come? What does this child mean? Doesn’t she want to recognize me as her grandma anymore?”
The usually bossy Old Madam Jiang was talked back to by a child, which made her even more upset.
“This is too much! This child! And my son who doesn’t discipline his child. 1 am so upset because of them! Is there any fairness in this world?”
From what she remembered, whenever Jiang Chuan’s family did something that Old Madam Jiang didn’t like, she would act like this, accusing Jiang Chuan of being a bad son or finding some other reason. She would make a scene before calming down.
Seeing Old Madam Jiang out of breath from anger, some villagers started to worry.
They were worried that Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia might actually make Old Madam Jiang ill from anger..
