331 Selling By the Pound
Jiang Chun could only start by exposing all the unfair things she and her mother suffered and that her father had deliberately ignored.
Jiang Chun didn’t want her father to lie to himself again.
Jiang Wu and Jiang Mei married out of love, so the two of them had a good relationship. Ever since Jiang Mei married into the Jiang family, because of her gentle personality and Jiang Wu’s forbearance, she had become like Jiang Wu over time. Whenever Old Madam Jiang caused trouble, her first reaction was to endure it.
When Jiang Wu heard Jiang Chun’s words, he began to ponder over those things that he didn’t want to remember seriously. However, his many years of habit still made him find excuses for his actions. “Your grandmother used to treat me very well too. When I was sick, she took care of me without sleeping all night.”
!!
Jiang Chun resisted the urge to roll her eyes. “Dad, I’ve heard these words for as long as I can remember. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been born, but Grandma keeps mentioning this matter repeatedly. It’s enough to show that this is the only time she has ever treated you well.”
“Moreover, not only did Grandma raise you, but didn’t Grandma also raise my uncles? Moreover, you’re the only son who gives Grandma a monthly pension. Not only did we do better than them, but we also did more than them. However, Grandma still has many requests for our family. Do you think it’s reasonable?”
Jiang Wu lowered his eyes and remained silent. Jiang Mei looked at her daughter and then at her husband. “I think our daughter makes sense.”
Although Jiang Mei was unassertive, she knew how important her husband’s salary was to this family. In the past few months, they had just started to have some spare money and could still save a few yuan sometimes.
As Jiang Wu looked at Jiang Mei, who was in her early forties but already had white hair, he felt guilty. “It’s been so many years, so it’s time to consider our family more.”
When Jiang Mei heard her husband’s words, she revealed a gratified smile. However, she thought about how Old Madam Jiang would definitely continue to bring people to their door. “Sigh, if Grandma doesn’t get your job, she’ll probably come again.”
When Jiang Wu heard this, his expression couldn’t help but turn solemn.
It wasn’t that Jiang Chun couldn’t deal with Old Madam Jiang and the others, but because of her father, she wasn’t in a hurry to make a move.
After all, it was useless to charge forward alone. Even if Jiang Chun had the ability to counterattack, as long as her parents hung a white flag behind her, she would be in an awkward position.
It was fine if she worked for nothing, but in the end, she would end up offending both sides. Therefore, tonight’s conversation was very important.
When Jiang Chun saw the worry on her parents’ faces, she said calmly, “As long as you guys can maintain your stance, I have a way to make Grandma, Uncle, and the others not dare to have any designs on the position again.”
Jiang Wu asked curiously, “What solution do you have?”
Jiang Chun smiled and said with a chuckle, “We’ll learn from Grandma and hit her where it hurts.”
Jiang Mei couldn’t help but worry when she heard this. Her mother-in-law was selfish and domineering. At home, as long as her father-in-law didn’t speak, she was basically in charge. Her personality was as tough and unreasonable as it could get. “Then your grandmother will probably skin you alive.”
Jiang Chun was already prepared, so she replied indifferently, “We’re in the right, so I’m not afraid of her! If they hadn’t gone overboard and pressured us like this, would we be forced to do this?”
“What she’s doing now is no different from skinning our family alive. If we really continue to suffer like this, not to mention being skinned and sucked dry, they’re probably even thinking about how to sell us as jerky after we’re sucked dry!”
Jiang Chun’s words weren’t too exaggerated. As long as their family still had a trace of value, Old Madam Jiang wouldn’t let go.
Jiang Wu sighed softly, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.
The next day, at dawn, Jiang Chun went out and secretly stuffed a report letter into the door of the district administrative office.
Jiang Chun had just finished helping her father exercise when there was a knock on the door. Jiang Chun turned to her father and said again, “Dad, you promised to think more about our family in the future, no matter what happens.”
Before Jiang Wu could react, Jiang Chun brought this up again. However, he still smiled and nodded. “I remember. Hurry up and open the door. The knocking sounds quite urgent. Perhaps our neighbor has something urgent.”
