Chapter 239: Want to Eat the Dead!
The old lady, leaning on her cane, pointed at Yang Huirong's nose and scolded, "You still don't know? Look at your well-raised daughter, she's been divorced by someone else! If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to go out, and you two are still going out in such a flamboyant way."
Jiang Qianhui's eyes turned cold; her grandmother was truly still vigorous when she started cursing.
In her previous life, after she divorced Zhan Yanxun, her grandmother came to her door and verbally abused and humiliated her along with her mother.
They said that a woman like her, who was kicked out by her husband's family, had no right to return to her parents' home. She was better off dying outside, as returning to her parents' home would only bring shame to her family.
She was already in dire straits at the time. Listening to her grandmother's insults, she felt that there was no hope in life and even thought about suicide.
The fact that Zhan Yanxun didn't want her was unbearable for her, so amidst her grandmother's insults, she felt that life had no meaning. She attempted suicide by cutting her wrists in the bathtub, but her brother discovered her and stayed by her side without leaving her side.
Her brother said that even if everyone in the world abandoned her, he would always be by her side. If she wasn't afraid of death, what else was there to fear? If she was unwilling to accept her fate and wanted revenge, he would stop at nothing, even if it meant dying together, to avenge her.
In her previous life, her brother's companionship made her stronger, and now she no longer cares about divorce, so why would she care about the vicious words her grandmother said?
"What do you mean by being divorced? Mom, what era are we living in? You're still so old-fashioned. My daughter did nothing wrong. The one who's wrong is Zhan Yanxun. Now my daughter doesn't want him anymore and has divorced him."
“Our Jiang family has never had such a shameful incident as a woman being divorced and sent home. It is truly immoral and disgraceful.”
Grandma was scolding him so harshly, but Jiang Qianhui remained calm.
"Grandma, you must be tired after your long journey. Please sit down and rest, and try not to talk too much, so as not to tire yourself out."
Jiang Zhengguo also offered advice from the side.
"Mom, look how sensible Sui Sui is. She's worried you're tired and wants you to sit down."
"She's sensible. If she were sensible, would she have divorced Zhan Yanxun? It's so embarrassing for a girl to be divorced."
Jiang Zhengguo tried to calm the old lady down, but Yang Huirong retorted, "Mom, what era are we living in? We advocate freedom of marriage and freedom of divorce. Zhan Yanxun is having affairs with other women. Why should our Sui Sui tolerate him?"
The old lady said sanctimoniously, "Sometimes men can't resist having affairs with other women. As a wife, all you have to do is keep the family stable. Why make such a scene and become a laughingstock?"
Yang Huirong said disdainfully, "So you mean even if Zhan Yanxun cheats on me and has an affair, my daughter has to swallow her anger like I have?"
Jiang Zhengguo was speechless; he had been dragged into this again.
Jiang Zhengguo frowned and said, "I'm different from Zhan Yanxun. That happened before we got married, and I didn't even know she was pregnant. I've apologized over the years, so why are you still holding onto this?"
Jiang Zhengguo was caught in the middle, like a sandwich filling.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman who came with the old lady said, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but your brother's little incident happened so many years ago. He was so good to you, he would rather talk back to Mom than not protect you, but you don't appreciate it at all and even mock him like this. It makes my heart ache for your brother."
The speaker was Chen Lina, Jiang Zhengguo's sister-in-law and Yang Huirong's sister-in-law.
She had a pair of slanted eyes, and although she was smiling, she looked as cunning as a fox, as if she were wearing a mask.
Jiang Qianhui said with a cold and arrogant look in her eyes, "Auntie, you should take good care of my uncle. My father doesn't need your pity."
Chen Lina's expression immediately turned sour. She smiled faintly and said, "Sui Sui, you're a rich young lady. Sure enough, your temper is different from others."
Jiang Qianhui said coldly, "Of course I know my temper is different from others, yet you still dare to come to my house and spout nonsense."
Jiang Qianhui's eyes were like knives, making Chen Lina feel uneasy. When did this girl's eyes become so terrifying?
The old lady said angrily, "Who are you calling a braggart? We are all your elders."
"You know you're the elders, shouldn't elders love and care for the younger generation?"
Jiang Qianhui's words almost made the old lady faint from anger.
Chen Lina said, "Mom, don't be angry. I think the main reason Jiang Qianhui will get a divorce is because she can't have children. I said to my sister-in-law, why don't you take your daughter to get properly checked out? No family can tolerate someone who can't have children, let alone the Zhan family, which is so big and powerful."
The old lady rolled her eyes at Yang Huirong and said disdainfully, "Look at you, you useless thing. You can't give birth to a son, and the daughter you gave birth to is even infertile. I used to blame you for not having a son, but now I know that the son you have will be infertile like Jiang Qianhui, a useless seed that can't carry on the family line. It's better if you don't have any children."
Jiang Zhengguo quickly stopped the old lady, saying, "Mom, how can you say that? Do you know how much you're hurting Huirong?"
“I only said a few words and she was hurt. If this were my time, someone like her who doesn’t serve her mother-in-law and can’t carry on the family line would have been beaten to death by her mother-in-law long ago.”
Yang Huirong was so angry that she trembled all over. Jiang Qianhui poured tea on the table by herself. Jiang Qianhui's movements were very calm, but they made people feel a strange pressure.
Jiang Qianhui poured tea for the old lady and said, "Grandma, you've been on such a long and tiring journey. You probably didn't brush your teeth, did you? Why don't you have a cup of tea to rinse your mouth?"
The old lady was trembling with anger.
"How old are you? How dare you be so arrogant? Don't you have any manners at all?"
"Grandma, you are old, but I don't see much refinement in you."
The old lady was so angry her nostrils were practically flaring up, and Jiang Zhengguo quickly stopped her.
"Sui Sui, don't say that, she's your grandma."
"It's Grandma. Look at how she treated me just now, anyone who didn't know better would think she was my enemy. Oh, by the way, Grandma, you just said that my mother should have been beaten to death by her mother-in-law in your time. Shouldn't you be grateful that your mother-in-law didn't beat you to death?"
"You, you, you, you brat!"
Jiang Zhengguo: "Mom, Sui Sui is young, please don't take it to heart."
"What do you mean 'young'? She's already married and divorced, and you still call her young? You should just spoil her."
"Mom, don't be angry. Sui Sui, quickly apologize to your grandma."
An apology? That's impossible, not even a little bit.
The old lady said angrily to Jiang Zhengguo, "You spoil them too much. I heard you even kicked Jiang Che out."
Yang Huirong said with a bad expression, "Mom, you came all this way just for that illegitimate child?"
"You can dislike an illegitimate child if you want, but Jiang Di is our Jiang family's legitimate grandson. Since you dislike your illegitimate child and kicked him out, that's fine. However, such a large enterprise as the Gu Group should not be inherited by a divorced daughter. Jiang Di has now graduated from university, and it's time for him to go to the Gu Group to gain experience and familiarize himself with the business."
