by 苓菱子Chapter 190: Discussion - The Daily Life of a Sickly Sister-in-law in the Compound
Lin Qing watched as Lin Shu and Jiang Da Sao were in a heated brawl. She had no idea when Lin Shu had become so skilled in combat!
They were really fired up!
Lin Qing glanced towards the west wing, where Gu Da Sao and Su Da Sao were laughing their heads off.
Tsk, misery loves company, huh?
Perhaps Lin Shu had gained some experience from her previous fight with Liu Lao Da's wife, because now, facing Jiang Da Sao, except for the initial slap she didn't see coming, the two were actually going toe-to-toe, not at all at a disadvantage against the experienced Jiang Da Sao.
Jiang Da Sao was also hiding behind her window, watching the spectacle. A fight was good, a fight was good! The more severe it got, the less likely Lin Shu would let it go, and the more strained their relationship would become, hastening the division of the family.
Hahaha!
Jiang Da Sao couldn't stop grinning.
Jiang Da Sao and Lin Shu were separated by the three Jiang men returning home.
"Second son, you must divorce this daughter-in-law immediately, she's a traitor, divorce her now!" Jiang Hai pulled Jiang Da Sao away.
Lin Shu was pulled away by Jiang Yang.
"What's going on here?"
Lin Shu looked at Jiang Yang, tears pouring down her face, completely different from her earlier ferocity, and started whining, "Wah... Brother Yang, I really didn't do anything, Mother-in-law wouldn't listen to my explanation and just slapped me, and then she wanted to hit me again, that's why I fought back."
Jiang Yang rubbed his temples, looking at them, suddenly feeling a headache. "What's going on here?"
Jiang Da Sao spat towards them, "Pah! This little brat is playing the victim? You wretch!"
Lin Shu nestled in Jiang Yang's arms, seeing Jiang Da Sao's furious expression, she cowered, and Jiang Yang's heart went out to her, wondering if his mom was stirring up trouble again.
Seeing Jiang Yang's doubtful look, Jiang Da Sao's heart ached, and her anger surged, "Jiang Yang, what do you mean? Do you think I'm bullying your wife?" Jiang Da Sao screamed hysterically, "Ah? Ah? Ah?"
Jiang Yang closed his eyes, worn out, "Mom, I didn't!"
"You say you didn't? Then what was that look just now?"
Jiang Hai, worried about his mother's health, quickly comforted her, "Mom, maybe you just misunderstood, Second son would never think that way. Let's go home and sort this out, okay?"
"No, we're settling this right here." Jiang Da Sao was adamant about not going back, wanting to settle this matter right there.
Jiang Hai gave Jiang Yang a helpless look, what should they do now?
Jiang Yang was also at his wit's end, so he looked towards Jiang Da Ye, who was smoking, "Dad—"
Jiang Da Ye glanced at his wife and daughter-in-law, neither willing to back down, and also felt a headache, "What do you two want?"
"Make this little brat hand over her paycheck." Jiang Da Sao immediately said.
"No, impossible!" Lin Shu quickly emerged from Jiang Yang's arms, refuting, then looked at Jiang Yang, "Brother Yang, we already agreed on this."
Jiang Yang also didn't want to hand over the salary, as it was their own family's income. If it went to his parents, it wouldn't just be theirs anymore, the eldest brother's family would also have a share, which he wasn't thrilled about.
"Mom, didn't we already agree that Lin Shu's salary wouldn't be handed over? Why are you bringing this up again?"
Jiang Da Sao, doubted by her favorite youngest son, reacted strongly, "Is it me who wants to bring it up? It's your wife, a traitor, wanting to subsidize her family!"
Jiang Yang didn’t know about this and looked at Lin Shu in his arms, "What is Mother Jiang talking about?"
Seeing that Jiang Yang was willing to listen to her explanation, Lin Shu immediately said, "Yang, listen to me, it's not what Mother Jiang said. Today, my mother came to see me, saying that Aunt Lin Qing has been giving money to support my grandparents, so I should do the same."
Mother Jiang excitedly said, "See? I told you!"
Jiang Yang ignored Mother Jiang and asked Lin Shu, "So, what do you think about this?"
"I..." Lin Shu lowered her head.
"See? I told you! She just wants to take advantage of us!" Mother Jiang started to shout again.
Jiang Da Ye also looked at Lin Shu with a different expression. If it was as Mother Jiang said, then this was indeed taking advantage!
Lin Shu didn't want to be seen as unfilial, but she didn't know how to explain herself properly, "I... I thought my parents are still young, it's not yet time for me to give them support money, so I refused."
Lin Shu glanced at Jiang Yang and continued hesitantly, "But... my mother didn't agree. She said that since Aunt Lin Qing gave, I should too, so just now, I asked Aunt Lin Qing if... if I could not give. She didn't agree, and I didn't expect them to misunderstand me." After speaking, she glanced at Mother Jiang.
Jiang Yang's expression was complicated. He understood Lin Shu's meaning. She didn't want to give, but her mother was being unreasonable, and she was caught in the middle with Aunt Lin Qing.
After hearing the explanation, Mother Jiang also understood her meaning, or rather, anyone would understand, but she still didn't admit she was wrong, "So, you still have to give?"
"I..." Lin Shu lowered her head, what could she do?
Lin Qing, seeing this, was also thinking whether the Jiang family would come to her.
But even if they did, she wasn't afraid.
Jiang Yang thought for a moment, "Should I go talk to Aunt Lin Qing?"
Lin Qing blinked, is this it?
From what she remembered, Jiang Yang hardly ever called her aunt!
But it's normal for him not to call her that, Jiang Yang is older than both her and Cen Xi, so it's normal for him not to call her aunt.
What would he call her if he approached her?
Lin Qing suddenly felt mischievous.
Mother Su and Mother Gu watched Jiang Yang go to Lin Qing, their eyes lit up. They didn't think Lin Qing would be controlled by them, this was going to be quite a show.
Jiang Yang really didn't want to call Lin Qing aunt, but with so many people around, he had to.
"Aunt Lin Qing, could you come out for a moment?"
Lin Qing smiled, Jiang Yang actually called her aunt, how rare!
Lin Qing straightened her clothes, she had to put on a good show later, couldn't let people look down on her.
"Coming, what's the matter?" Lin Qing opened the door slightly, pretending not to know, she asked knowingly.
Jiang Yang hadn't heard any footsteps earlier, he suspected Lin Qing had been watching the commotion by the window, waiting for him to call her out.
But even if he knew, now was not the time to argue about that, he quickly said what he needed to, "Aunt Lin Qing, can I discuss something with you?"
