Chapter 315 - 315 Nosy
315 Nosy
Jiang Chun was clearly implying that Old Madam Jiang was nosy.
Because of her father, Jiang Chun had always been tolerant of Old Madam Jiang, but Jiang Chun would no longer put up with this tolerance.
Just now, when she saw Old Madam Jiang disregard her father’s well-being and her family’s survival, she didn’t want to put up with this so-called kinship anymore.
Old Madam Jiang was very misogynistic and wished she could drown all the girls in her family. She felt that feeding them was a waste of her family’s food.
When Old Madam Jiang, who was used to bossing people in Jiang Chun’s family around, was suddenly retorted by a junior like Jiang Chun, the girl she hated the most, she was so angry that she raised her index finger and pointed at Jiang Chun. “You useless piece of trash! How dare you talk back to me?!”
Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Wu and shouted sternly, “Are you going to watch this little b*tch insult me like this?”
Jiang Wu looked at his mother and daughter as he said softly, “Mom, Jiang Chun didn’t mean that. It’s not that serious. Jiang Chun, Grandma is an elder. How can you say that?”
Jiang Chun opened her mouth to retort, but when she saw her father’s meek expression, she endured it.
Old Madam Jiang looked at Jiang Wu critically. “That’s it? This little b*tch must apologize to me!”
Jiang Wu looked at Old Madam Jiang helplessly. “Mom, Jiang Chun is your biological granddaughter. Can you not call her that?”
Old Madam Jiang glanced at Jiang Wu. Since her grandson had yet to get the job, she endured it and requested once again in a stiff tone, “How rude of her to contradict an elder! Tell her to apologize to me!”
Jiang Wu felt that his mother’s request wasn’t too much, since his daughter had indeed gone overboard by saying that his mother was nosy. “Jiang Chun, apologize to your grandmother.”
Jiang Chun pursed her lips and clenched her fists. “Dad, Grandma is going to cut off our family’s livelihood. Am I not even qualified to speak up?”
Without waiting for her father to answer, Jiang Chun looked at Old Madam Jiang and asked innocently, “Grandma, if my father gave his job to my cousin, what about my father’s medical fees? Will my cousin pay?”
Old Madam Jiang’s expression froze, but she quickly thought of a good idea.
She sized up Jiang Chun with a scheming gaze. “I heard that you’re a small leader in the food factory. Your monthly salary is 20 yuan. You can send your salary home. I’ll get your cousin to take 5 yuan from his monthly salary as your family’s living expenses. 40 yuan a month is enough for the two of them.”
The reason Old Madam Jiang suggested that Jiang Yu give them five yuan a month was that Jiang Chun still had to return to the village.
Jiang Chun’s household register had already been moved to He Mountain Village because of the construction of the countryside. She had to be wherever her household register was. When Jiang Chun returned, whether Jiang Yu would give her living expenses or not wasn’t something she could control.
If her third son and Jiang Mei dared to ask for money, Old Madam Jiang was confident that she could suppress them. Jiang Yu would have already gotten the job anyway, so her third son couldn’t go back on his word anymore!
Yu Bing knew about Jiang Chun’s family’s situation, but Jiang Chun usually euphemized things. This was the first time she had witnessed Old Madam Jiang’s shamelessness.
Jiang Chun was also amused by Old Madam Jiang.
“Grandma, what’s the difference between this and asking my father to give his job to Jiang Yu for free? Such a job is already worth a thousand yuan on the market. You’re really quite scheming. You want to use five yuan a month to send our family away. Do you think my family is a bank where you can pay in installments?! Moreover, even the bank collects interest.”
Jiang Chun didn’t agree, and neither did Jiang Yu. Why should he give his third uncle’s family money?! Not to mention five yuan, even 0.01 yuan was too much!
Jiang Yu looked at Old Madam Jiang anxiously. “Grandma, why do I even have to pay them? You didn’t say anything about this at home.”
Old Madam Jiang had never expected her grandson to be so useless!
As if she was willing to pay them? Jiang Chun wasn’t as easy to fool as her third son and third sister-in-law. Jiang Chun was also hot-tempered. Therefore, the most important thing now was to bluff Jiang Chun and get the job!
However, Old Madam Jiang couldn’t say this directly. If Jiang Wu found out, he would definitely be disappointed.
She knew that the best way to control her son, Jiang Wu, was to play the family card. As long as she said a few pleasant words, her son would do as she said obediently.
Hence, Old Madam Jiang could only stare at Jiang Yu and hint at him with her eyes. “Jiang Yu, listen to me. Your third uncle and third aunt usually treat you so well, so what’s wrong with using your salary to be filial to them?”
