Chapter 564: Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Dad (4)

Shen Yan was heartbroken when she saw the situation, over and over she called him her heart and flesh, then looked at Jiang Lai with even more uncontrollable anger.

"You little brat still dare to hide! Eating alone and still dare to hide! I guess I’ve been too good to you before!"

Shen Yan never thought Jiang Lai would actually hide, and now he’s running away.

As soon as Jiang Hai opened the door after coming home from work, a small figure lunged heavily into his arms.

"What’s happening here?"

When Jiang Lai saw it was Jiang Hai, his tears streamed down immediately.

"Dad, Mom wants to beat me to death!"

"Beat you? Why would she beat you?"

"The cake you left for me this morning was taken by my cousin. I wanted it back, and then Ali beat me up.

Now Mom found out and said I was greedy, she wants to hit me with a stick!

Dad, I won’t dare next time, I promise I’ll let my brother and sister eat anything good first, I promise I won’t be greedy again."

The girl cried herself into a little flower cat, her dirty little face covered with tear stains.

Jiang Hai was heartbroken.

At this moment Shen Yan came running, indeed holding a stick of firewood in her hand, who knows how painful it might be if it hit a person.

Seeing Jiang Hai, she had no intention of stopping.

"Do you think finding your dad will work? Haven’t I said it in our family? Greed gets beaten!"

Jiang Hai protected the child, and after taking a couple of hits himself, he was thoroughly angry, yanking the stick from Shen Yan’s hand and breaking it fiercely.

"Is this how you hit a child?!"

"Don’t interrupt me when I’m educating the child!"

"Try touching her again?!"

Jiang Hai, tall and strong with a loud voice, shouted so that Shen Yan froze on the spot, not daring to make a sound.

This was the first time Jiang Hai, with his good temper, had been angry with her.

Full of intimidation.

Furious, Jiang Hai turned around, wiped the tears off Jiang Lai’s face, then pulled his daughter’s hand and went inside.

Once Shen Yan snapped back, she pointed at Jiang Hai’s back and cursed.

"Jiang Hai, you beast!! I’ve been a beast of burden for you for so many years and gave you children, and this is how you treat me!"

Jiang Hai didn’t even look back.

The Jiang Family had a total of three rooms, Jiang Hai and Shen Yan had one, the three sons another. Previously, Shen Yaoyao had her own room, but after Jiang Lai was taken back, she lived with Shen Yaoyao.

Later, Shen Ping also moved in.

Shen Yan couldn’t bear to have her nephew squeezed in with her three sons, so she partitioned Shen Yaoyao’s room into two, the siblings lived together.

Ultimately, the extra Jiang Lai stayed on a small bed in the couple’s room corner.

A sixteen-year-old girl, with no privacy to speak of.

Back in the room, Jiang Hai looked at Jiang Lai and let out a heavy sigh.

"Dad is sorry to you."

Jiang Lai reached out, patted Jiang Hai’s shoulder gently, and softly said.

"Dad did great, you support our big family, letting me eat every day.

This life is much better than those years I spent outside.

Dad, you won’t drive me away, will you?"

Jiang Hai heard this, his brow furrowed.

"Who said they would drive you away?"

Jiang Lai lowered his head and said quietly.

"Brother and younger brother, they don’t like me. I don’t know how to get along with them."

Jiang Hai was both angry and ashamed.

His own daughter, not welcome in the family, he as a father was also useless.

"Don’t cry, you’ve cried yourself into a little flower cat, come on, see what Dad brought you."

With that, Jiang Hai put the net bag on the table, inside were two metal food containers, even with the containers closed, the aroma of meat was still strong.

Jiang Hai was good at cooking, which is why he was a chef at a state-owned restaurant, bringing home leftover dishes and some oddities from customers to share with the family.

As the lady of the house, Shen Yan naturally had the authority to distribute food.

Jiang Hai thought these were women’s matters, so he never asked.

Until he noticed his daughter getting thinner and his niece looking healthier, he carefully observed and found out that Shen Yan would specifically cook something extra for her two nephews and niece.

Jiang Lai didn’t get a single bite.

After that, he started secretly bringing food for Jiang Lai every day.

This time seeing Shen Yan hit Jiang Lai in person, who knows how many times she’s hit her behind his back, Jiang Hai was so upset that he opened both boxes of meat and laid them out for Jiang Lai.

"Eat, eat more, my girl."

Jiang Lai timidly asked with caution.

"Won’t Mom hit me if she knows?"

"If she hits you again, just tell me, Dad’s got your back.

Don’t be afraid, eat as much as you can, I’ll get you some buns, eat till you’re full."

Jiang Lai didn’t hold back.

This body hadn’t had anything good to eat for too long.

Though Jiang Hai secretly brought her things before, it was never this much.

In the past, Jiang Lai would have had no appetite for fatty meat with glass noodles, but circumstances were different now, this body needed some fat.

The white buns were also brought back by Jiang Hai from the canteen, sometimes when there were extra buns, the chefs and workers shared them.

Shen Yan had put the buns in the cupboard, but Jiang Hai took them all out.

"Dad, you eat too."

"Dad won’t eat, Dad’s not hungry."

Jiang Lai looked at him and then put down her chopsticks.

"If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either."

Seeing this, Jiang Hai felt a warm current in his heart, an indescribable comfort.

"Alright, Dad will eat with you."

Father and daughter opened their stomachs and had a hearty meal.

Not only Jiang Lai, but Jiang Hai usually saved anything good to bring back for the kids to eat, he too hadn’t eaten big chunks of meat and buns like this for a long time.

Jiang Lai knew Jiang Hai was frustrated.

He could guess more or less, even if he didn’t eat, these things would ultimately end up in the stomachs of those two children with different surnames.

Shen Yan was waiting in the backyard the whole time, with two small dishes prepared on the table, a bowl of corn porridge in front of everyone, paired with coarse rice dough balls.

"Mom, why hasn’t Dad come back yet?"

Jiang Li, the youngest, said whatever came to his mind even though he often got beaten, but aside from Shen Yaoyao and Shen Ping, Shen Yan pampered him the most.

The woman had a cold face, directly picked up chopsticks.

"We’re not waiting for him, we’re eating."

The kids looked at each other, seeing the stir-fried soybean sprouts and fried cabbage in front of them, they had no appetite at all.

"Eat, are you not hungry?"

Shen Yan’s tone wasn’t good, Shen Yaoyao was the first to extend her chopsticks to pick up the dishes, then ate with the porridge.

"Auntie’s fried sprouts are always so delicious."

Shen Ping followed closely, taking a piece and eating it in big bites.

Though hard to swallow, he couldn’t show it in front of Shen Yan.

The three boys also picked up chopsticks to eat.

The eldest and second brother didn’t care much, after all, this was what they usually ate, even better than usual, at least there were two dishes.

The youngest, Jiang Li, being so straightforward, directly asked.

"Mom, didn’t Dad bring any dishes back today?"

Every evening, Jiang Hai would bring dishes back.

The worst was braised pork with glass noodles.
