Chapter 168 Disappointment
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Jiang Shuya bought two gifts and went to the packing station, and came to the venue to visit her father and mother.
As soon as I got home, Li Dalan scolded me and I started to blame myself;
"It's no use blaming me. I didn't educate my two daughters well. My daughters have been married for two years, and my son-in-law has never visited us during festivals. My biological daughters have forgotten their parents who raised them. What sin have I committed that they are holding a grudge against me?"
Jiang Shuya did not refute, but gave Jiang Shuhuai a look, put the things away, took out the red envelope she had prepared last night from her bag, and handed it over;
"Don't complain. I'm in debt, right? I've been setting up a stall in the city to make money. I came a little late, but I bought the things for you. It didn't delay anything, did it?"
When Li Dalan heard this, she pretended to refuse the red envelope that Jiang Shuya handed over to her, but she stuffed it directly into her pocket. She knew very well what kind of person her mother was.
At this time Jiang Donglai, who was sitting at the door, asked;
"I heard that Huang Minghao is back. I saw Haohao's aunt at Lotus a few days ago. I heard that you two are getting divorced?"
Yes, after Huang Minghao's aunt's house was demolished last year, it will take two years to get the house. Now he lives in the Lotus Community, so naturally he often sees Jiang Donglai and Li Dalan. It seems that he has called his parents to act as lobbyists.
Li Dalan heard this and asked hurriedly;
"Xiaoya, tell me why you want to divorce. Is it because you and your spouse have been living apart for so long that your feelings for each other have faded?"
Jiang Shuhuai spoke;
"Mom, don't you see that in the two years since my eldest sister got married, my brother-in-law has never come to see you. He has never visited us during the holidays, as if our family owes him something."
Li Dalan tilted her head and suddenly became angry;
"You little brat, what do you know? That was the result of your sister's attempt to get close to you. No one could stop her. Now that the matter is settled and you have your sweetheart, you have to hold on no matter how tired you are. Our family has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. And there is also the house that was promised. You have to endure no matter how much you are wronged at this time. You must not divorce."
Jiang Shuya looked at her mother indifferently. As expected, she always valued interests and didn't care about her feelings. It was expected that she would say such words, so she responded directly;
"I will bear the consequences of my own mistakes, and I will not give you less than what I promised you."
Li Dalan glanced at her and blamed her, "I'm not saying you're useless. You've wasted your good looks. Why doesn't that guy listen to you? Why can't you control him? Oh! You're useless."
Jiang Shuya was very angry and almost told them everything about her divorce, but after thinking about it, her reason overcame her depressed mood and she was unable to sit down and eat with them.
Seeing Jiang Shuya was about to leave, Li Dalan quickly changed her attitude and came over to whisper instructions;
"Xiao Ya, you must not get divorced. Huang Minghao's grandparents are all from Jiangdao. In the future, both sides will get a house and inheritance. You must not be confused at this time.
That boy is good-looking. When he has money in the future, all the women out there will come after him. As long as you keep the financial power of the family firmly in your hands, he won't be able to make any waves.''
Obviously, Jiang Shuya could not agree with Li Dalan's words.
In the memory of the previous life, in the battle between Huang Minghao’s grandparents and the family inheritance, Huang Minghao’s parents did not get any advantage.
My grandfather had made a will before his death, and most of his inheritance was given to my aunt and her family who took care of them.
Although it led to a court lawsuit between the two uncles, it was eventually resolved. My mother-in-law Li Yuxiang and my aunt are sisters. My aunt's family gave my mother-in-law tens of thousands of yuan and they had already made peace.
My grandfather died before the demolition, although my grandmother received some demolition compensation and the house.
Since she was paralyzed in bed for many years and had no one to take care of her, we had to hire a professional live-in nanny. The medical expenses and live-in nanny were very high. My grandmother lived for less than ten years and had very little money left.
In the end, although the house was sold and the profit was several hundred thousand, it was already coveted by the old man Huang Guohua, who used the money to pay off his gambling debts.
This dispensable inheritance was not worth mentioning at all. Now that she had seen through it but did not speak out, Jiang Shuya looked directly at her mother with a cold gaze;
"Those have nothing to do with me and are not something I should think about. I have suffered a lot since I was a child, and I also understand one thing: there has never been care and tolerance in our family, only naked interests.
As an adult, I couldn't wait to have my own little home, even though it was a mistake. I wanted to turn around, but you told me to go all the way in the dark. I'm sorry, I let you down. I'm no longer the Jiang Shuya you lifted up to work in the fields before dawn in our youth. She has died in another world.''
Li Dalan sniffed, feeling somewhat guilty, and rebuked the young girl for her young age.
"Xiaoya, you are the eldest in the family. Your siblings were still young at that time. If you didn't do those chores, who would? I have taught you to develop the spirit of hard work and perseverance since you were young, so that people in the village will praise you for your ability and find you a better in-law family!
Although you and Huang Minghao are not living a satisfactory life, fortunately, after all the hardships, you will see the light soon! ''
Sure enough, such a reason left Jiang Shuya unable to refute.
Seeing that Jiang Shuya stopped talking, Li Dalan said again;
"Well, Xiaoya, Mom won't make things difficult for you. As long as your brother gets the house, you'd better be able to give some of your share to us.
When you want to get a divorce, mom will definitely stand on your side. You are so good-looking that you will definitely be able to find a place to live when the house is demolished. You have to believe in mom's ability.
Listen to your mother and I will find you a good family. Do you remember the last time you came to the packing station, when the son of Boss Zhang saw you, his eyes widened and he couldn't take his eyes away.''
Jiang Shuya stopped talking immediately and laughed instead of getting angry. "You can get another gift then, right?"
Li Dalan said confidently;
"Of course, even if my daughter is getting married for the second time, she cannot escape those customs. The higher the bride price, the more face she will get. It means that the in-laws like you, and your position in the future will be secure."
"Did you ask for another 60,000 yuan at Shu Ting's engagement party?"
Jiang Shuya's cold words caught Li Dalan off guard, and she refuted the next second;
"Why, I raised her to this age, and I'm going to give her to that kid Chen Lin for free? His family can steal or rob her, just like you, and they can't take a penny less, otherwise, they will definitely not let her go on the wedding day."
Jiang Shuya heard about this from Jiang Shuhuai. Li Dalan knew that Shuting had just bought a house and was under great pressure from the loan, yet she took advantage of her.
She pursed her lips in anger and shouted loudly at Li Dalan;
"Mom, in addition to money, there is also warmth and tolerance in this world. Don't you want these? Have you ever given us enough caring love? Don't force everyone to hate you and stay away from you."
After saying this, she turned and left. In the memories of two lifetimes, this home had never allowed her to experience the slightest warmth. Deep down, she hated this cruel reality.
