It is said that the more you hope for something, the more you couldn’t get it.
For the next few years that had passed, no matter how hard the original owner and Jiang Jianguo tried, they just couldn’t have a child.
The original owner couldn’t remember how many times she had been looked down upon by Old Mrs. Jiang. Liu Miaomaio, who had given to another son at that time comforted her hypocritically, but she knew that she was laughing at her as a hen who couldn’t lay eggs when no one was around.
At this point of time, countryside people pay more attention about having a son to inherit the family business.
The original owner who has been married for many years and has no son became a strange existence in the eyes of many people. For this, the original owner shed liters of tears.
Another conflict broke out again when Old Mrs. Jiang brought a strange girl to live at home from nowhere.
At the beginning, the original owner was still baffled. It was not until the girl came to Jiang Jianguo, intentionally or unintentionally, to seduced him.
Old Mrs. Jiang’s intention was also revealed.
She hoped that the original owner would take the initiate to divorce Jiang Jianguo and let him marry another woman to have a son.
Jiang Jianguo didn’t even have the slightest intention to marry the girl. Even if he longed to have a son, he liked the original owner more.
The whole fiasco was exposed, and the original owner couldn’t bear it any longer. She asked Jiang Jianguo to separate from his family or else she would divorce him.
At last, the family separated.
The original owner was unwilling to stay at the village anymore. She decided to go to Fushan Village of Bailu Town located at City S along with Jiang Jianguo and their daughter Zhaodi. When they got there, they rented a house and settled down.
It was probably because no one is bothering them anymore or because they had been hoping for many years, but when Zhaodi was seven years old, the original owner became pregnant. Ten months later, she gave birth to a fat boy.
The two were overjoyed and they named their son Jiang Tianyang, and nicknamed him Xiaobao.
In this way, Jiang Zhaodi and Jiang Tianyang’s completely different living conditions began.
The original owner heard that milk powder was good for babies. Despite of their already struggling life, she spent a lot of money to buy imported milk powder for Xiaobao to drink until he became three years old.
Jiang Tianyang grew up wearing new sets of clothes bought from physical stores starting from he was still a little.
Jiang Zhaodi only wore only two or three sets of clothes all year around. There was even a time when she will have no new clothes for the next three years. Most of her clothes were leftover clothes from the neighbors.
At that time, Zhaodi will be envious whenever she saw the other children wearing beautiful clothes. She told her mother that she also wanted a new clothes.
The original owner would scold her, “Why are you so ignorant? The family is already in a tight situation just to support you and your brother. Moreover, rent, food, and so on costs a lot of money. Why are you so ungrateful? You don’t think about your family’s situation at all.”
Over time, Jiang Zhaodi came to understand that her mother would not buy her new clothes no matter what, and she never brought it up again.
After Jiang Tianyang was born, the original owner became ever more busy. Her job was a language teacher in a middle school.
As for Jianguo, he worked in a restaurant outside the city all year round and he can’t go home frequently. The original owner was also busy working at school. Naturally, the job of taking care of Jiang Tianyang fell on Jiang Zhaodi who was only eight years old at that time.
She was tasked to feed her younger brother with infant formulas, and change his diapers when needed.
Because she was still a child, she needs to hold a sling cloth and tied her younger brother to her back. She coaxed her younger brother while doing household chores.
Sometimes, when the original owner was too busy, she will ask Jiang Zhaodi to take care of her younger brother, making her missed many classes. However, the original owner simply said that if a person is really smart, no matter if she or he skip classes, the grade will be still high.
It was worth mentioning that from the time when Jiang Tianyang was born until he became six years old, it was his older sister Jiang Zhaodi who taken care of him most of time.
But that cease when Jiang Zhaodi graduated from elementary. The original owner didn’t approve of her daughter to study anymore and she wants her to work early. As for Zhaodi, she obediently followed what her mother said and work to the underwear factory next door.
She gave all the money she got from working to her mother. Even after learning that her mother would spent all the money just to sent her younger brother to a better middle school, she didn’t complain and stayed up until eleven o’clock at night and got up at five or six the next day, every day just to earn more money.
And so, Jiang Zhaodi started her dull and hard life of working everyday in the underwear factory at the age of thirteen.
On the other side, Jiang Tianyang grew up spoiled.
He was a bully when he was still a little, and when he grew up, he became a gangster. Skipping classes, playing games, surfing internet all day long, picking girls, he did all of them.
He was too lazy to study and dropped out of the school when he was in junior high school.
In that year, Jiang Tianyang had a fight with someone and injured the other party’s lifeline, making him unable to have a child in the future.
The family of the injured man came to their door aggressively with the intention of paying back the the same injury that they brought to their son.
Jiang Tianyang was the only son of Jiang Jianguo and the original owner. How can they let him go easily?
It was pity that they needed to pay a hefty amount of 500,000 yuan as a compensation, and they knew that they couldn’t afford it.
In the end, the injured man’s family saw the beautiful face of Jiang Zhaodi.
“If you can’t pay back the money, you can also give other things as a compensation. That daughter of yours, give her to my son to become his wife. Anyway, my son won’t be able to marry a wife in his life because of what your son did to him. It’s just right.”
The young Jiang Zhaodi was obviously unwilling to be tied to such a man.
But the original owner knelt down and begged her fiercely. She even said that if she wouldn’t agree, she will commit a suicide.
The original owner cried: Zhaodi, that’s your younger brother. As his elder sister, if you don’t help him, who can help? Zhaodi, our family can’t get that large amount of money. If, if something really happens to your younger brother, I don’t know how to live.”
Jiang Zhaodi resisted, but it was futile. In the end, she was forced to marry the man.
The injured man became a little crazy after knowing that he couldn’t use his lifeline anymore after the fight with Jiang Tianyang. He vented all his hatred for Jaing Tianyang to Jiang Zhaodi.
Jiang Zhaodi went to work in an underwear factory during day, and was beaten by her husband at night.
She once asked her parents for help but they just ignored her and moved away to another place without saying a word.
Jiang Zhaodi’s life became thoroughly miserable.
Two months later, Jiang Zhaodi couldn’t bear it any longer and ended her own life.
As for the original owner’s remaining family of three, their life was not easy either.
Jiang Tianyang became addicted in gambling. When he asked Jiang Jianguo for money once, he accidentally pushed him and Jiang Jianguo died.
No one knows what is running in the original owner’s head but after Jiang Jianguo died, she still raised her son singlehandedly until he became thirty. At this time, Jiang Tianyang was still alone because no one was willing to marry a man like him.
Jiang Tianyang didn’t have the money to pay for his gambling debts.
The original owner was hacked to death with a knife by the creditor of Jiang Tianyang in order to protect him.
Finally, Jiang Tianyang became a beggar and passed away after a few years.
The whole family ended in a tragic way.
And the newly appointed Head Mistress Yin Yin was here to change the fate of Jiang Zhaodi and Jiang Tianyang and also to make the original owner become a good mother.
“Wife, I’m back. This time I bought a lot of things.” Jiang Jianguo opened his mouth again.
He worked as a chef in a restaurant located in H City, and was given a chance to come back home every two months.
Jiang Jianguo was 37 years old this year. He had a tall figure and an average appearance, and his personality is simple and honest. He was fond of the original owner who was beautiful and younger than him.
Currently, he showed a silly smile at Yin Yin with his eyes filled with undisguised affection.
“Dad, did you bring something delicious? Xiaobao wants it.” Jiang Tianyang, who was watching cartoons with his feet dangling, jumped down from the sofa and ran to Jiang Jianguo with his two chubby legs. He then opened the bags brought by Jiang Jianguo one by one.
Jiang Tianyang was well raised. Now, at the age of five, he looked like a white and tender bun.
He skillfully took out piece of toys from the bags, as well as some snacks and preserved fruits.
