Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
According to Grandma, I’m old enough to be married. Since I’m of marriageable age, I count as an adult in this family and should have a say. Why can’t I speak up? Besides, Grandma hasn’t even said anything yet. Why is Aunt stepping in to manage our family affairs?” Jiang Xia quoted her grandmother’s words.
Needless to say, Jiang Gui’s wife face turned very ugly.
Back when Old Madam Jiang planned to sell Jiang Xia for food, her eldest aunt probably had a lot to do with it, often whispering in old madam’s ear. Likely, she played a big part in selling off her elder sister.
In her childhood memories, her eldest aunt often made life difficult for Jiang Xia’s family because Zhou Lan’s children were prettier than hers.
If Jiang Xia guessed correctly, the idea of selling her elder sister likely originated from her eldest aunt. Otherwise, with Old Madam Jiang’s limited intelligence, how could she come up with such a plan?
The most annoying part was that she could still act so innocent!
“You! You ungrateful child! Can’t you see you’ve upset your Grandma so much she’s faint? I’m your aunt. If your mother doesn’t discipline you, shouldn’t I step in? 1 was just trying to help, but you treat me like I’m worthless!”
Jiang Gui’s wife sure knew how to seize opportunities to put on an act.
But it was okay, as Jiang Xia didn’t expect this shameless woman to reflect on her mistakes. If she actually did, that would be a shock.
After a long talk, Jiang Hua’s wife couldn’t stand it anymore, “Enough, sister-in-law! Why are you arguing so much with a child?”
After speaking, Jiang Hua’s wife secretly cursed her eldest sister-in-law for being a bully at home but acting like a soft-spoken woman here.
She disliked such pretense; it made her feel sick!
When Jiang Chuan’s family moved out, she wanted to follow. Once they left, their family became Old Madam Jiang’s puppets, and she even considered selling her daughter.
After pleading and behaving, she managed to dissuade Old Madam Jiang.
Looking at Jiang Chuan’s house, she was extremely envious.
If she moved out from the Jiang family, given her and Jiang Hua’s hard work, they could have a life like this after a few years.
Reminded by the second sister-in-law, Jiang Gui’s wife finally realized and stop talking.
Right, why was she talking so much? Could the quiet Zhou Lan understand all that she said?
Thinking this, Jiang Gui’s wife quickly dropped her pitiful act and addressed Zhou Lan seriously, “I won’t beat around the bush then, Zhou Lan. I saw the new table you made, and you should give it to us.”
“No, sister-in-law…” Jiang Hua’s wife couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Was she expecting them to be fools?
Before she could finish, Old Madam Jiang cut her off, “Second’s wife, shut up. Let the your sister-in-law speak. She’s speaking my mind.”
When it was about important things, the Old Madam Jiang seemed more alive and spoke louder.
Seeing old madam supporting her, the Jiang Gui’s wife quickly continued, “Zhou Lan, did you hear? Mother spoke. Not just the table, but also this house. The table is for me, and the house for mother. Mother is old and deserves a good place to live comfortably.”
Jiang Hua’s wife was upset. She asked, “Sister-in-law, what about our house? Why do you all get something, but we don’t?”
Once she said it, she felt some regret. But when she thought about not getting any share, she felt upset. She had already said it, so let it be!
She pointed to the door and said, “This door looks new too. We should have it.”
Jiang Xia finally understood. This shameless family wanted to take their house.
They had tried to steal before and got caught. Even after being scolded, they didn’t stop. Now, they weren’t even trying to hide it.. They just wanted to snatch it all!
