Jiang Xi looked at Jiang Guoan in surprise, suspecting that he was mentally retarded. She pointed to her face and said in confusion, “You think I still have a reputation? You, on the other hand, aren’t you going to take something to seal my mouth?” She had already been rejected three times, how could she still have any reputation? Was Jiang Guoan’s brain damaged by a wild boar?
Jiang Guoan also realized what he had said, and he looked a little embarrassed.
“Nonsense! Jiang Guoyou, is your family even here for the festival? I think you guys want to anger us to death, don’t you?” Old Madam Jiang had spoken! If today’s incident were to spread, Jiang Guoan’s position as the village chief would probably be gone, and it would be difficult for the girls in the family to get married.
Old Madam Jiang had a mean face, and it was particularly scary when her face was dark. In the first three years before Jiang Xi was born, there was a three-year drought, and the people had no means of living. However, on the day of Jiang Xi’s birth, there was good rain. That day was also the day when the Buddhist temple opened its doors to provide porridge. There were even rumors in Jing City that a blessed person had descended. At that time, Old Madam Jiang thought that Jiang Xi was more or less blessed. Little did she know that Jiang Xi was actually an unlucky person, an unlucky person who would specifically go against her!
However, Old Madam Jiang did not know that Jiang Xi was not just her nemesis. She was also the nemesis of all injustice in the world!
“I’ll slaughter this animal tomorrow.” Old Master Jiang was silent for a long time. He stared at the pig’s butt and finally spoke. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a stinky and loud fart instantly rushed toward his mouth. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The wild boar raised its tail and directly pooped on Old Master Jiang.
Old Master Jiang, “…”
“Even a wild boar can’t be bothered with you.” Jiang Xi looked at Old Master Jiang indifferently. He was already so old, but he still did not know what was wrong with his words. He said he was going to slaughter the wild boar in front of it. Did he really think that the wild boar was a pushover?
This time, everyone in the room paused again. The group of people looked at each other and actually did not dare to make a sound.
“Jiang Guoyou, I can’t control you guys anymore. You guys should go back. We can’t miss the Mid-Autumn Festival. Our family can’t afford to invite you guys. I’m already so old and have one foot in the coffin, but I still have to suffer such grievances.” Old Master Jiang said expressionlessly with a body full of pig poop.
Before Old Master Jiang married the current Old Madam, he was still very good to Jiang Guoyou. However, as the old saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather. Later on, Old Master Jiang slowly started to treat Jiang Guoyou badly.
“Father, Jiang Xi is still young and insensible. She did not do it on purpose. You…” Jiang Guoyou tried to ease the situation.
“I did it on purpose.” Jiang Xi interrupted Jiang Guoyou. Jiang Guoyou’s explanation was instantly stuck in his throat.
“You’re too impudent! I think you’ve made up your mind to abandon our relatives? I’d like to see what kind of family you’ll marry in the end! I’ll wait and see what you’ll do when you’re in trouble and need your family’s support! You’re acting impulsively now and everything goes according to your wishes, but what about your brothers? You don’t care about anyone, do you? Jiang Xi, I didn’t expect the Jiang family to have such a selfish person like you! If anything happens to Jiang Si in the future, it’s all your fault!” Jiang Guoan was indeed a competitor for the position of the village chief. With just a few words, he had made Jiang Si more and more dissatisfied with Jiang Xi. Even Yang Fen frowned.
“That’s enough. You can go back now. I won’t hold it against you for what happened today. We’re all one family. As the village chief, I’ll take care of you in the future, but that’s all.” Jiang Guoan sent the guests off with a sullen face. Originally, he had invited Jiang Guoyou’s family for a meal today to use the Zhao family’s influence to increase his bargaining chip in the fight for the position of the village chief. Unfortunately, Jiang Guoyou’s family was not tactful.
When Jiang Guoyou’s family came out of the old residence, it was almost dark outside. No one in the family said anything and walked quietly on the road. Only Jiang Shan and the wild boar were beside Jiang Xi.
“Jiang Xi, don’t worry too much. If you can’t get married, I’ll take care of you. If you still want to get married, then I’ll back you up. If your future husband dares to bully you, I’ll hang him up and let the wild boar pee on his face every day.” Jiang Shan said to Jiang Xi in a low voice.
Jiang Xi turned to look at Jiang Shan, who looked honest and sincere. His concern and love for his younger sister were beyond words. He looked at the silent figures of Jiang Guoyou and the others in front of him. They seemed to be rejecting Jiang Xi. When a son and daughter had a conflict, it was obvious who the adults in the family favored.
