Chapter 1114 The Eldest Daughter Who Was Rejected in the Engagement
"Get out, get out of here right now! The more I look at you, the more upset I get. Go tell Aunt Tong and her daughter that they shouldn't even think about my dowry, because it will only be left to Chunxi and her brother. Even if they instigate that bastard Jiang Yaoyang to cause trouble for me, it won't work."
"So tell those two not to waste their time. Not only did they instigate you, you idiot, to cause me trouble, but they also instigated that wretched Jiang Yaoyang to cause me trouble."
"Mother, you..." Jiang's mother stomped her feet in anger, "How could you do this? It's one thing to scold your daughter-in-law, but how could you scold your husband too? You can't do this! No matter how much you favor your grandchildren, you can't scold your own son!"
"Everyone else favors their sons, but you, on the other hand, only favor your granddaughter and grandson, and you even go so far as to mistreat your own son. If your husband knew that you called him a wicked child, how heartbroken he would be!"
"Get out!" Old Madam Jiang roared. "If you don't get out now, I'll slap your mouth shut. Yan, it seems I've been too lenient with you as your mother-in-law, which is why you dare to disregard me even more."
"Let me tell you, if it weren't for Chunxi and her brother, otherwise, for a fool like you who only causes trouble for others, I would have already used my authority as an elder to divorce that good-for-nothing Jiang Yaoyang."
"Madam, you'd better leave quickly!" Granny Qian said angrily. "Didn't you see how angry you made the old lady? Do you have to make her seriously ill before you're satisfied?"
Jiang's mother looked indignant, but she still knew the consequences. If she really angered her mother-in-law to the point of illness, then she, as the daughter-in-law, would be guilty of a serious offense.
With a face full of resentment, she bowed to Madam Jiang and then turned and left.
"I'll be driven to my death by that idiot sooner or later," Old Madam Jiang said, clutching her chest and bursting into tears. "What kind of fate do I have? It's bad enough to have a son like that, but I also have to have a daughter-in-law who's not thinking straight. I can only say that my ancestors have blessed me by living this long."
It was only thanks to the blessings of the ancestors of the Jiang family that she was able to have such a son and such a daughter-in-law as Yan, she would have been driven to her death long ago.
"Madam, please don't be angry," Granny Qian quickly patted the old lady on the back. "It will be alright. Once the eldest son is settled down and has a family, your life will be much more comfortable."
"Don't try to fool me," Madam Jiang waved her hand and said, "I've figured it out. I'll never have a peaceful life. With that biased bastard Jiang Yaoyang, even if Weijing gets married and starts his own family, he'll still need me, his grandmother, to protect him. Otherwise, who knows how his own father will abuse him?"
Wei Jing is the original owner's younger brother.
Jiang's mother, fuming with anger, came out of Old Madam Jiang's courtyard, naturally looking for someone to vent her anger on, so she went to Jiang Chunxi's courtyard.
"How can you be so selfish and vicious as the older sister? Chunyun and Chongli have just settled their marriage, and you've already instigated your grandmother to let you manage the shop that was part of her dowry. What, are you so unwilling to see your younger sister doing well, and only happy when you're making her unhappy?"
"If I had known you were this kind of thing, I shouldn't have given birth to you in the first place."
“I didn’t ask you to give birth to me!” Jiang Chunxi said sarcastically to her mother. “If I had known that you, the mother who gave birth to me, were like this, I would have preferred to be reborn as an animal rather than be born from your womb.”
"Yan Shi," Jiang Chunxi didn't even bother to call her "Mother Jiang," "you are truly pathetic! Since you can't win your husband's favor, you go and fawn over the concubines. What, you feel so accomplished being treated like a servant by Aunt Tong?"
"Ha! You're really despicable, even more despicable than the prostitutes in brothels," Jiang Chunxi said with a look of contempt. "No wonder Father doesn't like you, such a lowly thing. After all, what man would like a lowly woman?"
"So! You really didn't lose to Aunt Tong unfairly at all. Apart from her inferior background, Aunt Tong is inferior to you in every way. Father is a discerning man. How could he not love Aunt Tong, who is better than you in every way, but instead like such a lowly thing as you?"
“You…you…” Jiang’s mother was so angry that her hand trembled as she pointed at Jiang Chunxi, and then she was about to step forward to hit Jiang Chunxi.
Jiang Chunxi grabbed her mother's hand that was hitting her, then flung it away, knocking her to the ground. She then took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, and threw the handkerchief at her mother's face: "Touching such a lowly and filthy thing like you has truly dirtied my hands."
"Get out of here and don't stay here and defile this place of mine."
"Jiang Chunxi, you unfilial wretch! You dare to treat your own mother like this? You'll be punished!" After saying this, Jiang's mother finally got up from the ground.
“Retribution,” Jiang Chunxi sneered. “If you, Yan Shi, are not afraid of retribution, why should I be afraid? Or rather, if I were to swallow my anger and blindly obey your wishes in the face of a mother like you, then I would be the one to suffer retribution.”
"So what right do you have to talk about retribution? You're such a despicable thing, a dog at the feet of a concubine. Aren't you afraid that if God finds out what you've done, he'll strike you dead with lightning, so you won't be a nuisance to people anymore?"
"You...you..." Jiang's mother was furious.
"Get out," Jiang Chunxi said, her eyes flashing with malice as she stared at her mother. "If you don't get out of here right now, don't blame me for having you thrown out. You're just a lowly servant girl by Aunt Tong's side. Where do you get the nerve to act so arrogantly in front of me, the young lady?"
Jiang's mother left; she had no choice but to leave! Otherwise, she would probably be driven to her death by that wretched daughter, Jiang Chunxi, today.
However, she certainly wouldn't let it go so easily. When her husband returned, she would definitely complain about Jiang Chunxi, that unfilial daughter, to him and make him stand up for her.
Thinking this way, Jiang's mother naturally did just that. When Jiang's father returned, Jiang's mother delivered the prepared dinner to Aunt Tong's place, and then, wiping away tears, complained to Jiang's father.
What she didn't know was that her pitiful complaining appearance disgusted her father. On the contrary, seeing her father's displeased frown, her mother was secretly pleased that her husband cared about her, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten so angry after hearing her complaint.
This just goes to show! With someone like Jiang's mother, who's so obsessed with love, you really can't have any hope for her intelligence.
