Chapter 312 - 312 312 Evil Fate

Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Evil Fate Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Evil Fate Today, Chiang Xiao didn’t go up to the mountain with Ge Dejun either.

According to what they said, they had just set the wedding date and took a day off to rest.

So, Chiang Xiao simply stayed at home to paint, taking advantage of the time when school was in session.

She was in a good state that day and managed to complete three idiom story paintings in one morning, estimating that she could finish them in another two days.

Before lunchtime, Song Xiyun arrived with Chiang Caijiao and Chiang Lidong.

When they caught sight of the Chiang Family residence, the three of them thought they had taken the wrong path.

“Mom, why is there such a high wall? Is this Uncle’s house?” Chiang Lidong exclaimed.

Stunned, Song Xiyun stared for a long while before finally speaking in a daze, “This really is your uncle’s house!” Her heart skipped a beat, and she rushed forward, pushing the courtyard door forcefully.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt!”

Ge Liutao was in the middle of chopping vegetables, ready to make dumplings. There was some leftover meat and veggies from yesterday, and chopping and filling about twenty dumplings would be just enough for one meal for them.

Chiang Xiao had just returned from painting and was scooping hot water to wash her face and hands.

Chiang Songhai sat under the tree in the courtyard, smoking the cigarettes Meng Xinian had bought for him.

These factory-rolled cigarettes were quite nice to smoke, not as harsh as the self-rolled tobacco. Especially because he knew they were a respectful gift from his grandson-in-law, he felt exceptionally good smoking them.

The family of three were quite at peace until Song Xiyun showed up, startling them with her commotion.

Upon hearing Song Xiyun’s voice, Chiang Xiao’s good mood plummeted.

It was inevitable that the Old Chiang Family would return. She knew that the impending conflicts would still arise.

“Xiyun, what’s the matter?” Ge Liutao, seeing her come in so hastily, thought something might have happened.

Song Xiyun glanced at them with wide eyes and in disbelief retorted, “Second Aunt, you have the nerve to ask me what’s the matter? I should be the one asking you what’s going on!”

She pointed at the tall wall erected between their two houses as she spoke.

Although Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were prepared mentally, they still felt somewhat guilty when she confronted them like that.

“Older Aunt-in-law, I thought you would be the clearest about it.” Chiang Xiao sneered, “Our family had no choice but to do this—to guard against those rats that climb over the wall and eavesdrop.”

“Chiang Xiao, who are you calling a rat!” Song Xiyun’s face flushed with anger.

“Whoever climbs the wall and eavesdrops, that’s who.” Chiang Xiao wrung out her towel, casting meaningful glances at the basin of water, “Older Aunt-in-law, face-washing water is cleaner than foot-washing water. You don’t mind, do you?”

At these words, Song Xiyun jumped in fright, unconsciously stepping back, warily staring at her.

Chiang Xiao, that damned girl, was even bold enough to splash foot-washing water on Ho Laidi!

“Chiang Xiao, you are getting more and more disrespectful, daring to curse and attack your elders. I am indeed curious to see how your Second Uncle deals with you when he gets out of the hospital!”

“Oh? My Second Uncle can be discharged now?”

Chiang Xiao swept her gaze over Song Xiyun, looking down on her with disdain. This woman was lazy, gluttonous, and loved to take advantage, but the moment it came to taking action, she backed down immediately.

As for Chiang Baohe, Chiang Xiao truly wasn’t afraid of him anymore.

Not to mention that she was now fast and strong, but what about his leg? Could he even walk?

Chiang Xiao figured the future Chiang Baohe at most would be stuck using a walking stick, shuffling slowly forward step by step. Could such a Chiang Baohe still be a match for her?

What Chiang Xiao didn’t realize at that moment was that the already discharged Chiang Baohe had run into the misfortune that plagued him in his past life.

No, it should be said it was that woman’s misfortune!

Chiang Baohe was currently unable to walk at all, so Chiang Baoguo borrowed a bicycle from Ding Meifen, planning to give him a ride back to Siyang Village. Just as he started pushing the bike, Chiang Baohe saw two women walking towards him.
