Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Just Lie There on the Ground Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Just Lie There on the Ground Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao couldnât possibly claim they hadnât heard the commotion in the yard, could they?
Yet those two actually managed to stay inside the house, not even coming out to take a peek!
Were these three generations of their family trying to revolt?
Ho Laidi was a mix of anxious, angry, and frightened, and with the world turning dark before her eyes, she actually fainted.
Chiang Xiao curled her lips, tossed the bag of rice bran into the corner, and squatted down to untie the rope.
Only then did Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao emerge from the inner room with complex expressions, looking at the unconscious Ho Laidi. Ge Liutaoâs lips moved slightly, and she couldnât help but ask, âLittle, your Aunt, sheâs⊠sheâs all right, isnât she?â
Chiang Xiao shook her head, âSheâs fine, just fainted from sheer frustration. Sheâll wake up in a bit.â
Looking up at the two of them, she couldnât help but laugh and, with a wink, asked, âGrandpa and Grandma, when I was calling out like that, why didnât you come out to have a look? Werenât you afraid she might beat me to death?â
She hadnât clarified to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao how she was going to handle Ho Laidi, only telling them that once Old Chiang Family members returned and saw the yard wall, they were bound to be livid. She said she would deal with them when the time came, and asked Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao to stay out of it as much as possible.
But given the horrendous way she and Ho Laidi had been yelling, how could they not even come out to check?
Ge Liutao couldnât help but glance at Chiang Songhai.
âWe sneaked a peek and saw that it was you⊠you hitting your sister-in-law,â Chiang Songhai admitted hesitantly.
âSo, once you saw that I wasnât the one getting hit, you felt relieved?â Chiang Xiao widened her eyes, a hint of amusement in them.
She didnât know what Grandpa felt when he saw her thrashing Ho Laidi, but seeing his current discomfort and concern made it clear that they were anything but calm, perhaps feeling as intense as a sudden mountain torrent.
Who knew how much they were suffering.
Chiang Songhai sighed deeply, his tone rather heavy as he spoke, âLittle, my thoughts were simple. I knew they would explode once they saw this yard wall. Your Aunt was bound to come at you, and youâd get hit. Grandpa is useless, unable to protect you. But since you can protect yourself, itâs better you hit her than the other way around.â
Indeed, Chiang Songhai was in great turmoil.
But his thoughts were truly simple.
Faced with two options, he could only choose for Chiang Xiao to not get hit.
How could he possibly bear to watch her being hit?
Of course, he also couldnât quite bear to see his sister-in-law getting hit, which is why he stayed in the house, wasnât it?
Hearing his words, Chiang Xiao felt like laughing and yet also felt somewhat saddened.
âGrandpa, have you ever thought that if you were tough enough, your sister-in-law wouldnât dare lay a hand on me?â
Chiang Songhaiâs lips moved, and he sighed again.
Ge Liutao anxiously asked, âSo what do we do now? We should hurry and carry your Aunt insideâŠâ
âShe wishes,â Chiang Xiao snorted coldly, looking disdainfully at Ho Laidi on the ground, âShe didnât bathe for two nights in the hospital, all dirty and stinky, and she wants to sleep in our bed? Let her lie here for a while!â
Outside the door, Chiang Songtao had finished his cigarette. With no more noise from the yard, he stepped forward to knock on the door.
Prior to this, he had asked Chiang Baoguo to carry Chiang Baohe back home. After entering, Chiang Baoguo had wanted to wash up and have a drink of water, so he didnât come out again.
In fact, they all felt that by now, Ho Laidi would be capable of handling the three of Chiang Songhaiâs family by herself, so they didnât take it seriously at all.
