Chapter 15
Greedy family
So where exactly was Jiang Gu?
Outside the main house, a small figure was hiding in a corner, eavesdropping on the conversation of several people in the house.
“That little brat did it on purpose. It should be her father that ordered her to do it, telling her if she wants to separate from us, she will have to hit me with the door!”
Wang Fen’s words were so fierce that Jiang Gu shivered in fear. It was as if she wanted to skin Jiang Chuan and his family alive.
Jiang Fu’s expression was also very gloomy as if it was the prelude to a storm.
The one applying the medicine on Wang Fen’s head was Jiang Hua’s wife. She didn’t dare to say anything as she applied the medicine. If she didn’t control her strength well, Wang Fen would be angry.
“Is your hand disabled? You don’t know how to apply medicine!” Wang Fen shouted at Jiang Hua’s wife. There was nothing she could do other than applying the medicine quickly and return to her seat beside Jiang Hua.
Wang Fen glared at her, then turned to her husband and asked, “What should we do about Jiang Chuan’s decision to separate from the family?”
The house had been too chaotic last night, and Wang Fen had yet to discuss this matter with her husband, but now that everyone was here, she wanted to handle this problem as quickly as possible.
Hearing this, Jiang Fu was instantly enraged. He smacked the table and roared, “I’m not dead yet and he wants to separate from the family, there is no way I would agree to this!”
“Father, father, don’t be angry. We won’t let Jiang Chuan go. If he leaves, who will do all the work that needs to be done?” While soothing Jiang Fu, Jiang Gui asked his wife to pour a glass of water for the old man.
“Hmph! We’ve raised this son for so many years, he thinks he can separate from the family just because he wanted to? He wants to leave without paying back the debt of us raising him?” Jiang Fu said angrily.
“Right, we can’t split! You want to leave us after eating our food for so many years! You bastard!” Wang Fen chimed in from the side.
Jiang Hua listened to the conversation between the two elders of the Jiang family and frowned slightly, “Maybe we don’t have the right to make the decision this time.”
“Jiang Hua, what are you saying!” Wang Fen rebuked angrily, while Jiang Fu stared at his son without a word, waiting for him to continue.
“Father, you heard what brother said yesterday. If he says that he can’t find food every time he goes out in the future, then should we still let him have his meal?”
“He can still work during the day,” Jiang Fu said gloomily. From what Jiang Fu had said, everyone understood that he had decided to keep Jiang Chuan alive. Jiang Hua sighed and didn’t say anything more.
When Jiang Hua returned to his room, his wife followed. Jiang Hua looked at his wife and asked, “Didn’t mother ask you to cook? Why did you follow me back?”
“Do you think Jiang Chuan can separate from this family? If they are able to, then should we move out too?”
“What are you thinking? Father and mother will not let Jiang Chuan go.”
Even though Jiang Hua said no, he was also calculating in his heart. If Jiang Chuan’s family were to be given away, with Wang Fen’s favoritism towards his elder brother, the future workload would definitely all go to him. And his daughter would probably face the same problems Jiang Xia was facing now, he was afraid that her daughter would also be sold to other families to get married.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua’s head hurt even more.
“Didn’t you say that the power doesn’t lie in father and mother’s hands? If Jiang Chuan successfully separates from the family, our family will end up becoming like them! I’m not doing that.”
“Alright, let’s talk about it after Jiang Chuan really leaves the family! Hurry up and cook, if mother doesn’t see you later, you’re going to get scolded again.”
Jiang Hua’s wife pouted and walked out of the door. She had been scolded a lot in the past two days when Zhou Lan wasn’t around. She had thought that she wouldn’t have to work anymore once Zhou Lan was back, but she didn’t expect things to stay the same.
In the room, Jiang Hua scratched his head as he thought about Jiang Chuan’s behavior last night. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Jiang Chuan seemed to be a little different. He clearly remembered that Jiang Chuan was not very good with his words, so how could he have spoken so flawlessly last night?
However, when he thought about it carefully, he realized that what Jiang Chuan had said was the truth.
Wang Fen fainting yesterday and getting smashed by the door today, if Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia hadn’t fainted, and if Jiang Gu hadn’t gone to find a doctor, then the blame will definitely all go to Jiang Chuan, but it was odd that the problems had been resolved so easily.
Jiang Hua thought about it and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Jiang Chuan. He wanted to test him when he had time. After all, he didn’t want his third brother’s family to leave. If they left, Jiang Hua would have to do more and their days would be far worse compared to how it is now.
