Chapter 210: Sister Jiang Goes Mad
Chapter 210: Sister Jiang Goes Mad
The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the more she felt that Jiang Chen was unreliable. He looked at their family with resentment. If it weren't for them, she would still be living a good life being served by the Shen family.
Seeing her man becoming more and more useless, she became even more angry.
"How can a family not be in financial difficulty when several of them are living off the fat of the land? They are nowhere to be seen when making money, but they are more enthusiastic than one another when eating."
Jiang Chen looked up at his sister-in-law and remained silent. Mother Jiang was unhappy: "Who are you accusing of?
If you want to eat, eat. If you don’t want to eat, get out. It’s not your turn to make the decisions in this family.”
Mrs. Jiang immediately wiped her tears and said, "Yes, I can't make the decision. It's you, mother-in-law, who makes the decision. But you can't be so partial.
Look, who does the most work at home? Over the years, all the money my husband earned went to my mother-in-law. My brother-in-law is getting a divorce, and he never showed up even after writing the IOU. How is he going to pay off the debt when the time comes?
It's so much money that even if you sell your whole family you still can't pay it back. But others are just like nothing happened, eating and drinking well and hiding in the city in peace and quiet, while we have to bear all the hardships.
How can we live like this? "
Jiang Chen had an unpleasant expression on his face, but he was too disdainful to argue with a woman and would not lower his status.
Jiang's mother was furious: "If you can't live with me, get out. The eldest brother will divorce you and marry a virgin. The fourth son is a scholar and a future juren. How much money will he have by then?
What's wrong with suffering a little now? When Si'er passes the imperial examination, don't come to me eagerly, or I'll be the first to scold you to death."
Mrs. Jiang sneered: "That requires you to pass the imperial examination first. Our family doesn't have a good reputation in the village. Didn't you hear what everyone said when you went out?
If it weren't for my uncle who drove away the Shen family, the high-yield grain would belong to our village now. Would it be their turn to be proud of it?"
Under Shen Nanzhi's deliberate guidance, the whole village now feels that it is Jiang Chen's fault for losing such a talented person.
If Jiang Chen treated her well, their village would be the one with more food than they could eat, which added another layer of dissatisfaction with the Jiang family.
Jiang Chen had naturally also heard about the high-yield grain. He frowned, thinking that Shen was actually hiding something. How insidious.
"That's enough. You can't even stop your mouth when you eat. Are you feeling full?"
Boss Jiang finally got angry and scolded her, but Mrs. Jiang was not the type to swallow her anger, "Boss Jiang, do you think it's wrong to say that?
When did I have enough to eat? If you want to be a sucker, go ahead. I won’t allow you to do that. Nothing inside or outside the house is useful. Do you think I want to stay in this house? "
Boss Jiang's face instantly turned red. He had been in a bad state recently, and his wife had long been dissatisfied with him. He did not expect her to bring this up. His dignity as a man was insulted, and he raised his hand to slap her in the face: "Shut up, aren't you ashamed?"
Mrs. Jiang completely exploded and slapped him several times, causing Boss Jiang to run away with his head in his hands. "You are crazy, you crazy woman, I am going to divorce you."
"Divorce me, you're a bastard. Divorce me and see who will want to marry a useless thing like you."
Jiang Chen's face was terribly gloomy. This sister-in-law was so unruly that she even dared to hit her husband.
Jiang's mother angrily cursed: "They are all dead people. They held her back, but she dared to hit her own master. She is a rebellion."
The second and third brothers of Jiang wanted to take action, but their wives kicked them and they lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
Mother Jiang was so angry that she covered her chest with her hands. Her vision went dark and she almost fainted.
The more rural the family is, the less rules and etiquette they have. Women do most of the housework and are not very respectful to their husbands.
Of course, if a man is able to support his family and ensure that his wife and children have enough food and clothing, his status will be different.
In a family like the Jiang family, the wives treat the men like animals and they all work in the fields to make a living. The wives don't respect the men much.
Especially since Boss Jiang was in trouble again, Mrs. Jiang was full of resentment and wanted to poke a hole in the sky. She was no longer afraid of him.
"That's enough, old man. What do you want?"
Father Jiang told Mrs. Jiang to calm down. He said with a serious face, "All children, go out. The adults are talking about something that has nothing to do with you."
The children all went out, and Jiang Ke took the opportunity to take a few more steamed bread to eat later.
Jiang Yu helped cover up, second brother is really smart.
However, Boss Jiang's son saw this and his eyes flickered, looking at Jiang Yu thoughtfully.
No one in the Jiang family was in mood to eat. The fig leaf had been torn off by Jiang's wife, and they had to face something they didn't want to face.
Mrs. Jiang no longer had the madness she had before and said calmly, "My request is simple. First, the family should use the money to pay for the eldest brother's medical treatment. I am not afraid of being embarrassed. He is not good at sex."
The second and third brothers were not surprised, they just felt ashamed and lowered their heads to look at their crotches.
The wives of the two men were also shocked: "How could this happen? He can't do it either. I thought he was tired. Is it a coincidence?"
If it was just a coincidence for one person, but it was the same for all three, it made the Jiang family feel cold.
Father Jiang realized the seriousness of the matter and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Chen certainly couldn't admit it, and said, "No, Dad, you're overthinking it. We should see a doctor. What else is going on?"
Mrs. Jiang looked at him and said, "Those IOUs were owed by my brother-in-law alone. We don't acknowledge them. We must make this clear."
It's already very good to support him to study, but this debt has to be borne by herself. Mrs. Jiang doesn't want to be a sucker.
Father Jiang looked at his other two sons and asked, "What do you think?"
The two of them bowed their heads in silence, acquiescing. Six hundred taels of silver was a debt that could not be repaid by several generations.
Although no one in the village is forcing me to pay the debt now, if my fourth brother fails to pass the imperial examination, who can resist forcing me to pay the debt over time?
Jiang Chen said gloomily, "Okay, I admit it. I'll pay it back myself. Is that all right?"
Mrs. Jiang: "Also, I want to grow the high-yield crops in Yushu Village. Let's find a way to buy the seeds."
Mother Jiang said, "No, isn't this just giving money to that bitch?"
"Haha, mother-in-law, they don't even want the money you give them. The people in Elm Village said that they are not allowed to sell to our family. If our villagers help us, don't even think about buying their seeds in the future."
Jiang Chen's face turned pale. Shen Nanzhi was so narrow-minded that he wanted to kill everyone.
"What are you going to do?"
The three brothers of the Jiang family are all experienced in farming, so they naturally want high-yield crops. Who wants to go hungry when they can have enough food to eat?
"I asked my mother's family for help and gave them some hard work compensation. I thought of a solution, but can a living person be killed by holding his urine?"
"That's a good idea. I'll ask my family for help too."
This matter was also resolved. In the end, Jiang Dasao fell on Lin: "The last thing, Lin is a concubine, she doesn't respect us, and she has three burdens. I won't allow them to live in our house."
Lin: "..."
He actually wanted to chase me out. I subconsciously looked at Jiang Chen with pitiful and helpless eyes, like a weak and boneless little white rabbit, making people want to hold him in his arms and love him.
