Chapter 582 - 22: The Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Dad (Part 22)

Sometimes the last straw that breaks the camel’s back is just a simple word, a glance, a gesture.

Although Shen Yan had said these words countless times.

But this time, she said it right in front of Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai, having packed his things, stood silently in the corner, listening to everything.

Jiang Hai clearly saw the hurt and helplessness in his daughter’s eyes, like a child who had done something wrong, confused and sad looking at her mother.

So a man who could endure once, twice, and again countless times suddenly couldn’t anymore.

The collapse and outburst happened in an instant.

The usually honest and reserved man was angry, suddenly standing up and kicking the table to pieces.

"Shen Yan, what’s wrong with me being biased towards my own daughter?!

You, as a mother, ignore the child, should I, as a father, follow you and treat someone else’s child like a treasure and my own like a wild weed?

Are you really Jiang Lai’s biological mother?!

If everyone but your brother died in front of you, would you even care?!"

He spoke from the heart.

Having held it in for so long, Jiang Hai felt that the resentment that had been stuck in his heart instantly dissipated.

Shen Yan had never seen this side of Jiang Hai.

Reality shocked her, and following years of pride, how could she tolerate such criticism from Jiang Hai.

She screamed.

"Jiang Hai! I can’t live like this anymore!!

Fine, you take your daughter and son and live on your own!!"

"Fine, if we can’t live together, then don’t. The house is mine, pack your things and get out."

The backyard fell into dead silence.

Shen Yan stared dumbfounded at Jiang Hai, never imagining he would say something so heartless.

In the past, every time they argued, no matter who was right or wrong, as soon as she cried out "can’t go on," Jiang Hai would fall silent, no matter how angry he was.

But this time, he responded.

The response was to not go on and told her to get out.

Shen Yan was first stunned, her tears hanging on her face paired with the shocked expression looking somewhat ridiculous.

At this moment, movement came from behind, it seemed her son had returned.

The next second, she seemed to collapse directly to the ground as if her bones had been pulled out, crying and shouting without any scruples, screaming.

"I gave birth to four children for you!! Now you want me to get out!"

"Is there justice in this world?! I’ve been a servant to your Jiang Family for so many years, and now I end up being chased out!"

"You let everyone come and see!! Have everyone judge, I gave birth to four for you!"

"Jiang Lai, you little beast, ever since you came back this family has been nothing good, you brainwashed your father! You’ve ruined this family!"

Standing beside him, Jiang Lai was also cursed.

But she didn’t need to retort; she just needed to act like a normal daughter would, and Shen Yan would push Jiang Hai further away.

At this moment, Shen Yaoyao realized something was wrong.

She knew Jiang Hai’s temper; he was a good person who rarely got angry, but once such a person got angry, he might truly never change his mind.

This courtyard did indeed belong to Jiang Hai, and it’s close to both the steel mill and the supply and marketing cooperatives. Countless people envied their living here.

If Shen Yan was really driven away, then she and Shen Ping would definitely not be able to stay here.

Thinking of this, she immediately squatted down to comfort Shen Yan and looked up at Jiang Lai.

"Jiang Lai, I can’t interfere much with your parents’ affairs, but persuade your aunt and uncle not to fight anymore. It’s not worth it to quarrel over the children."

Jiang Lai stood still next to Jiang Hai.

So now she’s acknowledging Jiang Hai and Shen Yan are her parents?

Didn’t she always claim they’re family, but when things go wrong, she blames her?

"Dad, Mom, don’t worry about me. If you don’t want to be together, just separate. You don’t need to continue tormenting each other."

Jiang Li also had just returned, and before he understood the situation, he heard Shen Yan cursing.

Cursing Jiang Lai as a little beast, anyone who didn’t know might think she’s Jiang Lai’s stepmother.

So he stood there without moving, watching coldly.

Shen Yaoyao whispered to Shen Yan in her ear.

"Even if you don’t think about yourself, think about Shen Ping. If you leave here, what will Shen Ping do? He doesn’t even have a house to marry in."

The mention of Shen Ping instantly calmed Shen Yan down.

She suddenly remembered her previous plan.

The three rooms that she initially planned to leave one for Shen Ping to get married.

If today she really angered Jiang Hai, she’d be fine, but what about her nephew?

"What do you think Shen Yaoyao just said to Shen Yan?"

Little Buding has always been nosy.

Jiang Lai replied without looking up.

"What else could she say? The only thing that can restrain Shen Yan now is her beloved nephew. Shen Yaoyao isn’t that dumb; if she doesn’t say something to subdue Shen Yan now, she and her brother will be left out in the cold."

Little Buding clicked his tongue.

"Shen Yan really has a soft spot for her niece and nephew, but I don’t understand what she’s thinking."

"Who cares what she’s thinking."

Having said that, Jiang Lai walked directly to Jiang Hai.

"Dad, since I came home, Mom has always been in a bad mood. I know she doesn’t like me; as long as I’m here, she won’t be able to live well with you.

Dad, I’ll stay at the restaurant in the future, it has food and lodging, right? Mom can stay, and I’ll stop coming back."

"What are you thinking!"

Jiang Hai was deeply wounded by Jiang Lai’s words.

He knew all too well how much his daughter had suffered and how many grievances she had endured.

It’s one thing for Shen Yan as a mother not to care, but to constantly find her annoying, to turn her into something worse than a roadside beggar.

If he as a father continued to pretend ignorance today, he would be no better than a beast.

At this moment, Shen Yan was also crying.

"With so many kids at home how can I take care of them all? I have to manage your meals and serve your needs every day, is it easy for me?

I follow you, suffering and enduring, Jiang Hai, speak your conscience, you kick me out, ask your three sons if they agree!"

Jiang Li lowered his head and said nothing.

Jiang Hu and Jiang Shun hadn’t come home yet.

Right now the main decision is in Jiang Hai’s hands, if he’s soft-hearted, it blows over.

In the future, Shen Yan will find a way to get Jiang Lai out, let her stay at the restaurant and not come back.

That way, she can have her beloved nephew move back in.

Looking at Jiang Hai, Shen Yan felt she’d already made concessions; wouldn’t he see the situation and push further?

Then the next second.

"In this family, I make the decisions. I’ll look after my own children; the rest have nothing to do with me!

The room in the backyard, you can live there with your beloved niece and nephew. In the future, we’ll live separately! Don’t say I didn’t give you a way out!"

Jiang Hai had made the most sensible decision.

Divide the family!
