Chapter 194: About Jiang Hua
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Doctor Li knew well what the old Jiang family had done. When the Jiang family initially split up, he had struggled for quite some time because of conflicts between the two households.
Today, after observing the situation of the old Jiang family and noticing that only Zhou Lan and her daughter came from Jiang Chuan’s family, while Jiang Chuan stayed home claiming to be ill, Doctor Li more or less understood their attitude. He was already pondering how to discuss this matter with others.
The two daughters-in-law of the old Jiang family were taking care of Old Madam Jiang inside the house. They couldn’t help but shiver when they heard Zhou Lan’s voice.
Jiang Xia was observing the situation inside the room from the doorway. Seeing the uncomfortable look on the two daughters-in-law’s faces, she couldn’t help but smirk.
It seemed that the beating last time wasn’t in vain. Just watch; these two won’t dare to bully her family again easily.
Jiang Gui was somewhat afraid of Zhou Lan. Last time, when he went to her house to talk about the wild vegetables, he was scolded by Jiang Chuan. Then, just yesterday, Zhou Lan scolded him again when he went to support his wife. Now, he didn’t want to provoke her at all, so he found an excuse to slip into the house.
Jiang Hua hadn’t interacted much with Jiang Chuan’s family and didn’t have strong feelings about them. His impression of Zhou Lan was still that of her honest and naive appearance. After sending off Doctor Li, he asked Zhou Lan, “Sister-in-law, why did you bring Jiang Xia here all of a sudden?
Jiang Hua was different from his brother Jiang Gui; he was neither arrogant nor noisy. Having read a few books, he possessed some scholarly elegance.
This trait would sometimes make him seem selfish and petty. Moreover, he would only lean towards the side that was beneficial to him before making any decision.
He wouldn’t harm others, but he hadn’t done much to help others either.
In Jiang Xia’s impression, he was neither a good nor a bad person.
But this is understandable. Nowadays, with families struggling for food and money, considering oneself first without harming others is not seen as a big deal.
Jiang Xia felt a sense of wonder in her heart. Among this family of harsh people, it was surprising that they could have someone like Jiang Hua.
Zhou Lan was also thinking to herself. As long as Jiang Hua didn’t assist the old Jiang family against her and Jiang Xia, she wouldn’t hold a grudge against his family.
“I’m a bit embarrassed by your words. What do you mean by ‘all of a sudden’? I heard from Jiang Hong that Jiang Xia’s grandmother fell and hurt her back, and Jiang Xia’s father is ill. So Jiang Xia and I were sent to ask and see if there’s anything we can do to help.”
Jiang Hua truly didn’t know about Jiang Hong visiting Jiang Chuan’s house.
It must have been either Jiang Gui who sent her, or old Master Jiang.
Only those two could make order Jiang Hong around.
Jiang Hua thought about this and he calmly replied, “Is that so? I just found out about this matter. Jiang Hong really troubled you this time.”
“It’s no trouble at all, don’t be so formal. It’s just that my husband is also ill now and can’t come to help,” Zhou Lan responded politely, acknowledging Jiang Hua’s courtesy.”
“Of course. I wonder what’s wrong with third brother? How did he suddenly become so sick that he can’t get up?” Jiang Hua’s words had a probing tone.
“He probably caught a cold. Last night he was so angry that he didn’t sleep well. He went out early this morning. It’s autumn now, and the dew is heavy. When he came back at noon, he said he felt very dizzy and now he’s coughing a bit.” Zhou Lan elaborated, as if afraid Jiang Hua wouldn’t believe her.
Not only did Zhou Lan sound reasonable, but her tone was also very sincere. How could Jiang Hua not believe her?
Besides, he knew about the fight yesterday. After all, anyone who had their house taken from them for no reason would be angry enough to lose sleep for a night.
“I see, that does sound serious. Perhaps I’ll go with you to check on him later. Since you’re here, come in and have a look. My parents are staying in my elder brother’s room,” he said.
Originally, there was only a collapsed bed in the room, and nothing else was wrong.
Originally, it was just the bed that collapsed in the room, but old Madam Jiang insisted on moving to Jiang Hua’s room, fearing that the wall might collapse and she wouldn’t be able to escape.
Since Old Madam Jiang had spoken, who would dare to refuse?
Jiang Hua’s family could only obediently clear their bed to make room for Old Madam Jiang to stay. Even if they had many complaints in their hearts, the elder daughter-in-law of the Jiang family wouldn’t dare to utter a word of discontent.
She didn’t want to risk being scolded by Old Madam Jiang for being unfilial.
