Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Itâs All About Acting Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Itâs All About Acting âGrandpa!â
Chiang Xiaoâs tears suddenly began to fall.
âWhy do Second Uncle and Auntie say I seduced Ji Desheng? Why do they all call me cheap?â
Grandpa had finally stood up firmly to Ho Laidi, it was the first time, and she absolutely couldnât let this spark be extinguished right away.
If he couldnât let go of the Old Chiang Family, it would be very difficult for her in the future.
As he faced her reddened eyes and the unceasing tears streaming down, Chiang Songhai felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by a hand.
He was finding it hard to breathe.
To say such words to a thirteen-year-old girl, to scold her like that, how cruel and poisonous did one have to be?
Were they still family?
If he couldnât protect Little at this moment, how hurt would the childâs heart be?
Thinking about this, Chiang Songhaiâs heart, which had softened, suddenly hardened again.
He glared at Ho Laidi and angrily said, âWhat did sister-in-law say I should do? You come to my house for no reason to insult Little, to hit Little, now Iâm the one who wants to ask what youâre trying to do!â
âYour house? Second, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? It was said that whether or not the family was divided, you and your brother were one family! Who said that, âI am your elder sister-in-law for a day, I am your elder sister-in-law for a lifetime, and if you do something wrong, itâs up to me to come and teach you a lessonâ?â
Ho Laidiâs finger nearly poked Chiang Songhaiâs nose, her spittle spraying his face as she spoke.
âRight, I did say that. Itâs fine if you scold me, but why do you have to scold Little like that?â
âWhat? I can talk about you, but I canât talk about your granddaughter? Isnât she a junior? If a junior does something wrong, am I not allowed to teach her a lesson?â Ho Laidi said as she reached out her hand to grab Chiang Xiao again.
Chiang Xiao shouted loudly, âAuntie says I did something wrong, then tell me, what did I do wrong?â
âLook, talking back is wrong! Who do you think you are? Get out here and see if I donât slap you across the face!â
âSo you mean I should just take it when Auntie insults me for no reason?â Chiang Xiao dodged again.
Ho Laidi, unable to grab her, became even more infuriated, âOf course, you must take it! Whatâs wrong with an elder scolding you a few times? You dare to frame your Second Uncle? Still saying you did nothing wrong?â
âGrandpa, do you also think that Auntie and Second Uncle are right to call me a cheap brat and beat me to death? Grandpa, do you also think I donât count for anything in this family?â
While dodging Ho Laidi, Chiang Xiao asked Chiang Songhai through her tears.
The more she asked, the more Chiang Songhaiâs heart ached.
Seeing Ho Laidi relentlessly trying to grab Chiang Xiao, Chiang Songhaiâs anger finally boiled over, and he pushed Ho Laidi on the shoulder.
Chiang Xiao had been watching him closely, and when she saw him push Ho Laidi and make her step back, she quickly stuck out her foot and tripped Ho Laidi from behind.
Ho Laidi let out a cry and fell hard on her bottom to the ground.
Everyone else was stunned.
Ho Laidi was stunned as well and sat on the ground for quite a while, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
After a while, Ho Laidi finally realized what had happened.
âChiang Songhai! You actually dared to push me?â she looked up at Chiang Songhai in disbelief, her lips quivering, before she started yelling loudly.
âDad! Dad, come quick! Iâm being bullied to death! Such misfortune, Iâve labored for the Chiang family my whole life like an ox, only to be hit by my younger brother-in-law when Iâm old! Such a heartless bruteâŠâ
From the side, Chiang Songtao, who hadnât been seen or heard this whole time, strode out of the main room.
Chiang Xiao immediately leaned on her grandmother and cried out pitifully, âGrandma, Iâll definitely be scolded and beaten to death. If I knew the Chiang Family was going to kill me, I might as well have let the Water Ghost drag me awayâŠâ
As she spoke, her eyelids flipped, and her body slumped down limply.
