Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Some Rejoice While Others Worry Chapter 318: Chapter 318: Some Rejoice While Others Worry At this moment, was she trying to disassociate Song Qingyun or herself?
âWhether you have a way or not, right now Iâm not willing to let you eat my familyâs food.â She pointed to the door with her chin, âIf youâre hungry, go find your mom, now leave.â
âSister XiaoâŠâ Chiang Caijiao looked at her tearfully, and seeing that she truly had no soft spot in her heart, she could only hang her head and leave.
As soon as she went out, Chiang Xiao slammed the courtyard door shut with a smack and even heard the sound of her securing the door bolt.
âI want to eat dumplings! I want dumplings filled with meat! I donât care, I want to eat meat!â Chiang Lidong started crying out loud.
Song Xiyun hurried to comfort him, âDongdong, mom will make them for you, make you dumplings with meat filling, okay? Come on, letâs go home.â
After she had soothed Chiang Lidong, she glared at Chiang Caijiao and scolded, âWhat are you standing there dumbfounded for? Didnât you hear your brother is hungry? Hurry up and open the door to start the fire! So stupid, just standing there crying for no good reason, you canât even get people to let you stay for a bite.â
Wiping her tears, Chiang Caijiao walked quickly to her own doorstep, saw the large padlock, and turned back, âMom, I donât have the keys.â
âSo dumb, you didnât think to get the keys from me first?â
Though the voices from the next door could still be heard, they were no longer as clear; compared to the previous open and barrier-free feeling, it was now much better.
Chiang Xiaoâs mood instantly improved.
Building this wall was truly worth it, even though it cost her quite a few dozen yuan, and they would only live there for a few months at most, she still felt it was worth it.
Look, now Song Xiyun couldnât peek over the wall anymore, and she was too lazy to listen to the noise from Old Chiangâs family.
âGrandma, letâs put the cabbage away for now, weâll stir-fry it for dinner! Itâs time to make dumplings!â
That meal of dumplings made Chiang Xiao very satisfied. Right now, she felt that life was full of hope, and every day she looked forward to âMingtianâ with great expectation.
Chiang Baoguoâs mood, however, was very bad.
In these last few days, Chiang Baoheâs hospitalization had really cost them too much money, so Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi decided to save even the carriage fare, having him ride the bicycle to bring Chiang Baohe back to Siyang Village first while the two of them would walk back.
As a result, he was exhausted pedaling the bike, having to endure Chiang Baohe cursing him all the way, berating him for only caring about himself, for having both a son and a daughter, and not caring whether he lived or died.
The road from the town to Siyang Village was already difficult to travel. Criticized and furious, he even fell off the bike midway. This, of course, led to an endless rant from Chiang Baohe.
Finally reaching the village, they encountered a villager who, upon seeing Chiang Baohe, only asked one question: Can this leg still heal? Chiang Baohe instantly felt provoked and, putting one foot on the ground, lunged forward, ready to fight.
As expected, he fell hard again.
âDamn your mother! You all want to see me suffer, donât you? If my injury doesnât heal, I swear Iâll sleep with your wife!â Chiang Baohe sat on the ground, grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it at the villager.
The manâs face turned iron blue. He wasnât one for talking, but his initial question was clearly of concern. Yet faced with such insults, how could he bear it?
âChiang Baohe, do you think Iâm afraid of you?â The man, carrying a hoe, was someone busy in the fields who hadnât even had time for lunch yet. Hungry and tired, he was already in a bad mood, but after being cursed by Chiang Baohe, he couldnât help but prepare to charge at him and fight.
Chiang Baoguo quickly intervened between them, âMy brother, my brother, donât stoop to his level; heâs just angry because of his severe injury. I apologize for him, I apologizeâŠâ
With all these delays, Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi had also hurried back and just witnessed this scene, with Ho Laidi immediately running over.
