CH 6

Such a family, even if all weighed together, couldn’t match her precious son!

Yang Tianci’s wrist was squeezed in Jiang Chen’s hand, and it was so painful that it twitched, but when he heard Yang Si’s words, he couldn’t care about the pain, and quickly said: “Sister, what are you talking about, it’s not that I don’t want to lend you money, it’s because we really don’t have money, us siblings’ blood is thicker than water, how can I not lend you money if you really have need? I’ll be sad if you say that.”

Jiang Chen’s hand exerted more force, and seeing Yang Tianci’s instantly distorted expression and angry eyes, he smiled: “Uncle, I heard that you just made a bit of money from stock trading a few days ago, seemingly about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, first use that money to pay us back is also fine.”

“How do you know!”

When Yang Tianci blurted this out, Yang Si, who did not even have the time to be surprised, instantly felt cold all over her body.

This was the good little brother she spent so much energy taking care of when she was younger, and had helped out desperately when she grew up. Cherishing and protecting him even regardless of arguments with her husband.

When she had money, he lay on top of her and leached blood desperately, able to say anything to please her for money, but when she encountered difficulties, he would run faster than anyone else. Yang Maosheng was only twelve years old now. If he hadn’t heard it from the people around him, he wouldn’t have said those words just now. It could be seen what her little brother’s family usually said about them.

“Sister!” Seeing Yang Si’s expression, Yang Tianci was a little panicked, and he quickly said: “Don’t listen to that kid, don’t listen to Jiang Chen’s nonsense, how could I have 40,000 or 50,000, it’s impossible, if I have the money why wouldn’t I lend you the money, right?”

“So what if you have money? We won’t lend it even if you have it!” An icy sneer sounded, and an old lady in a cotton-padded jacket walked out. She looked at Yang Si and Jiang Chen without concealing her disgust, “So what if Tian Ci has money? It’s his ability to have money! It’s our old Yang family’s money! As if we will give you, a married daughter, to treat a cripple that who knows will even be cured or not? Daring to scheme money from your little brother! What? Are you even schemeing when your father and I will die, and how much money you will get if we die?”

Yang Si subconsciously retorted: “Mom, how could I think like this, I…..”

“That’s exactly what you think!” The old lady had a hunched back, but her pointed finger almost touched Yang Si’s nose, “If you don’t think so, why would you come to your little brother to ask for money? You want to force me and your father to death? You’re only happy when we’re dead, aren’t you?”

Yang Si was pointed at and scolded, her heart iced over, and her hands and mouth trembled, but she found that she couldn’t say a word.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, the old lady became even more imposing. After scolding Yang Si, she started scolding Jiang Chen: “It’s you, you little bastard who just yelled at my grandson? So what if you have good grades? In my eyes, you are not even comparable to a hair on Sheng Sheng’s head. You’re not even worthy of carrying his shoes! If you have the ability, go and spill out shit and urine for your cripple father, don’t show off in front of our old Yang family’s house!”

“Mom!” Yang Si shouted: “How could you say that to Chen Chen! He is also your grandson!”

“What grandson?” Old Mrs. Yang spat and said, “The nose, eyes, and mouth don’t look like my old Yang family, nor does he have our Yang family surname. How is he my grandson?”

Jiang Chen had no objection to these words, because he indeed did not seem to have the blood of the Yang family, not only the Yang family, but also the Jiang family as well. But Yang Si was so angry at her mother’s favoritism that her face turned pale. She couldn’t tell how she was feeling now. Between the anger and the cold heart, there was unexpectedly a hint of ease and freedom.

Yang Si was full of hatred, but calmed down instead: “You don’t recognize Jiang Chen as your grandson, then do you recognize this daughter?”

“If you want me and your father to recognize you, then fine.” Old Mrs. Yang looked condescendingly at her and snorted: “As long as you divorce that cripple and remarry immediately, your father and I will recognize you. If you want to hang onto this mess for the rest of our life then don’t blame me for not having a daughter like you.”

“Okay!” Yang Si said expressionlessly, “From today on, I only have my husband and son, no more parents and little brother. From now on, our paths will no longer cross, and no matter if our two sides live well or badly, it is irrelevant to the other.”

The old lady didn’t expect that Yang Si would actually dare to respond like this, her eyes almost rolled back in anger, but Yang Tianci’s heart skipped a beat, he didn’t want to lose his sister’s subsidy! No matter what happened to her now, he didn’t have to pay anyway. If things are solved in the future, he could still get money from his sister and brother-in-law. But once they have a true falling-out, then he would have one less cash cow!

It was not just Yang Tianci who thought this way, but also the old lady Yang, who had always bullied her daughter who never showed any resistance. She had already found a 50-year-old old man who still had yet to find a wife, and they didn’t care whether her daughter was married or not or had any children before. The bride price was promised to be 10,000 yuan!

Old Mrs. Yang and Yang Tianci immediately wanted to say something to smooth things over, but before they had time to speak, old Mr. Yang, who had not said a word, opened his mouth, the wrinkles seeming like ravines from his frown: “Since you said that, our old Yang family will no longer have a daughter like you again!”

“Dad!”

“Old man!”

“Shut up.” The old man Yang shouted angrily, looked at Jiang Chen with a dark expression, and said, “In the end, it’s not the blood of the Yang family after all, you and your mother will never step through my Yang family’s door again!”

Jiang Chen nodded obediently, and even smiled at them, then under the angry eyes of the Yang family, he supported Yang Si and said, “Mom, old Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang doesn’t recognize you, but you have me and Dad, we can always think of a solution, let’s go.”

Old Mr. Yang’s face became even darker when Jiang Chen said “old Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang”, but Yang Si’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Her parents were partial to her little brother, and her little brother used her as an ATM. She was used to these things, and she had long held complaints in her heart. Apart from being sad and chilled, she couldn’t express resentment at this moment. After all, it was her parents who gave birth to her and raised her.

But how could they! How dare they treat Jiang Chen like this!

This was the baby she had been protecting in her arms for fear of him bumping into anything. She was only worried about her son, who she wanted nothing more than to cherish and care for in all aspects, being rejected by her relatives today and had the most vicious words used to insult and abuse him, but even so, he did not show it. There was no trace of sadness, and even to reassure her, he had to force a smile.

Such a family, even if all weighed together, couldn’t match her precious son!

“Let’s go!”

Yang Si grabbed Jiang Chen’s hand and took him away from here without the slightest nostalgia.

After leaving the gated community, the anger on Yang Si’s face faded, replaced by unconcealed sorrow and resentment.

Jiang Chen’s originally smiling expression darkened upon seeing this. He pursed his lips, but he didn’t know what to say.

That Yang Si and the Yang family would fall out so quickly. In fact, he helped fuel the flames. On the bus, he used the word “repay the money” to reverse Yang Si’s mindset, making her change from the anxiety and uneasiness of borrowing money to naturally at ease at getting back her money. Once she accepted this psychological suggestion, she would be a little less tolerant when facing the suppression of the Yang family.

However, a single word could only plant a seed. If it wasn’t for the aggressiveness and insults of the Yang family later, this seed would not be able to take root and sprout quickly, and taking root and sprouting was not enough. Jiang Chen wanted that seed to grow into a big tree. Big enough that it could break through Yang Si’s bottom line and make her break with the Yang family completely.

And the fertilizer that could make the small seedling grow into a towering tree was himself.

Jiang Chen knew better than anyone how much his mother loved him. She could endure all difficulties and dangers, endure all insults and injustices, and even wipe her face and continue on despite being pushed into the mud, but the one thing she couldn’t stand was for her child to suffer as well.

Therefore, from the moment Jiang Chen decided to follow, Yang Si and the Yang family were doomed to end in a falling out.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen had no regrets. The Yang family was a group of blood-sucking leeches. Letting them do as they please would only bring harm to himself. Getting rid of them early to stop the loss in time was the smart thing to do.

But seeing Yang Si’s lonely expression, he was distressed and a little annoyed at the same time. If he didn’t fan the flames when he just spoke, the Yang family might not have said so much, and his mother might not be so sad now.

When they got to the bus stop, Yang Si finally opened her mouth.

She looked up at her tall and handsome son, and suppressed the tears in her eyes: “Chen Chen, don’t listen to what your grandfather and grandmother said just now, they don’t treat you as their grandson, and you don’t have to treat them as relatives, let alone feel bad about them. It’s all Mom’s fault, bringing you here, yet letting them insult you and bully you like this…..”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the distress and self-blame in Yang Si’s eyes, he realized the reason for her sadness, and the hands on his sides also clenched into fists.

“Mom.” Jiang Chen’s fist-clenched hands relaxed, and he placed them on Yang Si’s shoulder lightly, and leaned over to look at her: “I’m not sad, so don’t blame yourself for it, I haven’t had much contact with the Yang family since I was a child, and you also know that I never liked them in the first place. Putting it in an unpleasant way, in fact, I have never regarded them as relatives. In this case, I naturally won’t feel sad because outsiders scold me a few times. I’m just angry that they don’t treat you well.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Si’s tears finally couldn’t be suppressed. She covered her mouth and sobbed out loud. She only sobbed a few times and then suppressed it again. She nodded her head repeatedly: “Mom is not sad, as long as Chen Chen is not sad then Mom will not be sad. From now on, Mom will only be sad for you and Dad, and Mom will only have you two as family, no one else!”

After she said these words, her tearful eyes shone with a clear and firm light, and the depression and sadness that had just shrouded her body were also swept away. After wiping away her tears, she even smiled and murmured: ” In fact, this is the best way to go.”

The bus stopped slowly, Yang Si wiped her tears again, got onto the bus first, and said, “Come on, let’s go home.”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and echoed her: “Let’s go home.”

Before getting into the bus, he glanced at the direction of Yang Tianci’s gated community, and the coldness in his eyes was undisguised.

In the first life, after his Mom and the Yang family had a falling out, Yang Tianci and his family still did not trouble his family any less. Even after the death of his Mom, he even went to make a scene at his school for the insurance money, slandering him for embezzling the money his mother left to his uncle, forcing him to drop out of school. After that, when he found out that he and Huo Bo and Shen Xu started a company, he shamelessly came to recognize kinship again, pretending that nothing had happened, and forcing him to compromise out of blood relationship.

At that time, he was so annoyed that he found someone to lead Yang Tianci and Yang Shengmao, who had not graduated, to become addicted to gambling and paying for prostitutes. Within three months, Yang Tianci’s family was destroyed.

In his first life, he didn’t take Yang Tianci and his family seriously, but now it seemed that the timing of Yang Tianci’s appearance and the trouble he brought was too clever and coincidental, as if someone was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Jiang Chen knew who that person was.

In this life, he would not only make it so that the Yang family’s ending would be even more tragic, but also make the person behind them thousands of times more tragic.
