Chapter 51 -51: It’s All About Acting

“Grandpa!”

Chiang Xiao’s tears suddenly began to fall.

“Why do Second Uncle and Auntie say I seduced Ji Desheng? Why do they all call me cheap?”

Grandpa had finally stood up firmly to Ho Laidi, it was the first time, and she absolutely couldn’t let this spark be extinguished right away.

If he couldn’t let go of the Old Chiang Family, it would be very difficult for her in the future.

As he faced her reddened eyes and the unceasing tears streaming down, Chiang Songhai felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed by a hand.

He was finding it hard to breathe.

To say such words to a thirteen-year-old girl, to scold her like that, how cruel and poisonous did one have to be?

Were they still family?

If he couldn’t protect Little at this moment, how hurt would the child’s heart be?

Thinking about this, Chiang Songhai’s heart, which had softened, suddenly hardened again.

He glared at Ho Laidi and angrily said, “What did sister-in-law say I should do? You come to my house for no reason to insult Little, to hit Little, now I’m the one who wants to ask what you’re trying to do!”

“Your house? Second, has your conscience been eaten by a dog? It was said that whether or not the family was divided, you and your brother were one family! Who said that, ‘I am your elder sister-in-law for a day, I am your elder sister-in-law for a lifetime, and if you do something wrong, it’s up to me to come and teach you a lesson’?”

Ho Laidi’s finger nearly poked Chiang Songhai’s nose, her spittle spraying his face as she spoke.

“Right, I did say that. It’s fine if you scold me, but why do you have to scold Little like that?”

“What? I can talk about you, but I can’t talk about your granddaughter? Isn’t she a junior? If a junior does something wrong, am I not allowed to teach her a lesson?” Ho Laidi said as she reached out her hand to grab Chiang Xiao again.

Chiang Xiao shouted loudly, “Auntie says I did something wrong, then tell me, what did I do wrong?”

“Look, talking back is wrong! Who do you think you are? Get out here and see if I don’t slap you across the face!”

“So you mean I should just take it when Auntie insults me for no reason?” Chiang Xiao dodged again.

Ho Laidi, unable to grab her, became even more infuriated, “Of course, you must take it! What’s wrong with an elder scolding you a few times? You dare to frame your Second Uncle? Still saying you did nothing wrong?”

“Grandpa, do you also think that Auntie and Second Uncle are right to call me a cheap brat and beat me to death? Grandpa, do you also think I don’t count for anything in this family?”

While dodging Ho Laidi, Chiang Xiao asked Chiang Songhai through her tears.

The more she asked, the more Chiang Songhai’s heart ached.

Seeing Ho Laidi relentlessly trying to grab Chiang Xiao, Chiang Songhai’s anger finally boiled over, and he pushed Ho Laidi on the shoulder.

Chiang Xiao had been watching him closely, and when she saw him push Ho Laidi and make her step back, she quickly stuck out her foot and tripped Ho Laidi from behind.

Ho Laidi let out a cry and fell hard on her bottom to the ground.

Everyone else was stunned.

Ho Laidi was stunned as well and sat on the ground for quite a while, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

After a while, Ho Laidi finally realized what had happened.

“Chiang Songhai! You actually dared to push me?” she looked up at Chiang Songhai in disbelief, her lips quivering, before she started yelling loudly.

“Dad! Dad, come quick! I’m being bullied to death! Such misfortune, I’ve labored for the Chiang family my whole life like an ox, only to be hit by my younger brother-in-law when I’m old! Such a heartless brute…”

From the side, Chiang Songtao, who hadn’t been seen or heard this whole time, strode out of the main room.

Chiang Xiao immediately leaned on her grandmother and cried out pitifully, “Grandma, I’ll definitely be scolded and beaten to death. If I knew the Chiang Family was going to kill me, I might as well have let the Water Ghost drag me away…”

As she spoke, her eyelids flipped, and her body slumped down limply.
