Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Not a Word Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Not a Word So, the person behind all this was actually Yu Chunyu from the townâs middle school?
Yu Chunyu!
Chiang Xiaoâs eyes grew cold; she had not expected Yu Chunyu to meddle in their familyâs sordid affairs!
What on earth did Yu Chunyu want to accomplish!
Chiang Songtao also hadnât expected Chiang Lidong to so easily draw Yu Chunyu out, but he wasnât too concerned about it. Since Xiao Yu was helping them, why fear Chiang Xiaoâs knowing about it? Besides, Chiang Xiao would later attend their school. As a student, how could she dare to challenge a teacher?
Moreover, if she confronted Xiao Yu, it had nothing to do with them; they hadnât forced Xiao Yu to speak out or asked him to hatch schemes for their family.
âGive me candy, I want candy!â Chiang Lidong, unconcerned with what the adults were thinking, only had food on his mind; if he didnât get candy, he would make a fuss.
Chiang Xiao handed him two gummy candies, âStay put, make noise again and Iâll spank you!â
She glanced at Chiang Lidongâs bottom, thinking that the little stool at home couldnât withstand his sitting girth. In this era, becoming a chubby child was no easy feat.
In her past life, she remembered Chiang Lidong becoming fatter and fatter, his originally delicate features swallowed by his bloated figure, his eyes shrinking to half their size by age ten.
But he wasnât her son; it was none of her business.
âOnly two? But you have a whole plate there! Give them all to me! Theyâre all mine!â Chiang Lidong immediately resumed his tantrum, even kicking at Chiang Xiao, âYou wretched brat, if you donât give me all the candy, Iâll call the police!â
Was he seeing calling the police as some kind of panacea?
A kick struck Chiang Xiao squarely on the shin and her temper flared. Regardless of him being a child, she pushed him, and Chiang Lidong fell on his bottom onto the ground.
The stone-paved courtyard was hard, and the fall must have hurt. He immediately began bawling loudly. âGrandpa! That wretched girl is bullying me; hit her, beat her to death!â
âThis is my home; you come to my place and yell to beat me to death?â Chiang Xiao grabbed a broom, brandishing it, âCry again, and Iâll really hit you!â
Chiang Lidong was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong; seeing Chiang Xiao was truly not joking with a stern expression, he instantly puckered his lips, sobbing quietly, trying hard to hold back.
âChiang Xiao! You really donât act like a sister should!â Chiang Songtao quickly helped him up and glanced critically at Chiang Xiao, then said, âAlright, give him more candy to pacify Dongdong. I need to speak with your grandfather!â
With that, he headed for the hall.
âSecond, not to criticize, but since Chiang Xiao is staying with you, you should teach her properly. Seeing her behave like that just now and you, as a grandfather, sitting silent by the side, how can she be properly taught?â
Chiang Songtao glanced at Chiang Songhai and frowned slightly, thinking to himself that his partner was right, Chiang Laoer had changed.
In the past, how could he have tolerated Chiang Xiao bullying the Chiang Familyâs male grandchild? He would have reprimanded Chiang Xiao. But this time, when Chiang Xiao pushed Dongdong down, Chiang Laoer didnât utter a word from beginning to end!
Chiang Songtao felt very angry inside.
âWhat are you sitting there for? Come here, I need to discuss something with you.â He walked over to a bench in the hall, sat down, took out a roll of cigarettes, and struck a match to light one, taking a deep inhale. The blue-gray smoke spiraled upward, casting his face in a shroud of sorrow.
