Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Must Deal with Him

Chiang Songhai hesitated, and couldn’t help but get angry himself, ”Sister-in-law, that’s not the right way to say it...”

”Pah! Then, how should it be said? Look at her, not a hair out of place, and she’s rushing over here to pick a fight? Baohe is your own nephew, what’s the big deal if he takes a bit of your pork? Yesterday, we came to your place to see you hiding the meat, and today Baohe just took a little, what’s wrong with that?”

Ho Laidi spat out, and a gob of saliva landed beside their feet.

Chiang Songhai’s hands were shaking as he took two steps back with Ge Liutao, ”Sister-in-law, what does this have to do with the pork? Baohe is a junior; how could he get into a physical altercation with his second aunt? At home, I always teach Little to respect his elders. If Baohe made a mistake, he still needs to be reprimanded...”

”What’s there to say! He’s your nephew, not your son! That’s flesh from my own body! That’s my son! Can’t I discipline my own child? Do you need to stick your nose into everything like a dog trying to catch mice? Chiang Laoer, you must be so free! Don’t you dare compare your dead niece Chiang Xiao with my son! That wretched girl isn’t even worthy!”

Ho Laidi’s saliva sprayed directly onto his face.

Chiang Songhai couldn’t help but step back again, looking into the room, he called out, ”Big brother!”

It was not right to always confront his sister-in-law like this. He intended to talk to Chiang Songtao about the issue, but, after all this time talking, Chiang Songtao had not come out or even made a sound.

Clearly, Chiang Songhai had seen him sitting in the living room smoking.

He did not understand why, at a time like this, his big brother could pretend not to hear anything.

At that time, Chiang Xiao had already come back.

She hadn’t heard everything, having arrived just when Ho Laidi was spitting at her grandparents’ feet. But just from seeing the meat under the eaves missing, she could guess what had happened.

She stood in her own yard and did not intend to join the quarrel. Because of her previous warning, her grandfather thought she was too guarded and suspicious of the Old Chiang family and had even given her a lecture. Now, with their faces slapped, her going over wouldn’t make any difference.

How could Chiang Songtao possibly come out?

Chiang Xiao had always felt that her granduncle was the most profound and cunning in the Old Chiang family. He knew that the fighting capability of his old wife was more than enough to deal with his brother and sister-in-law, so all this time, he had been sitting peacefully in the background. As long as he didn’t intervene, Chiang Songhai had no one to turn to for reason.

Indeed, this time Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao were again sent away by a barrage of rude scolding from Ho Laidi, returning home with gloomy expressions, hand in hand.

Upon entering the main room, they saw Chiang Xiao sitting there drinking water. Chiang Songhai’s face turned red, a rare occurrence, as he felt for the first time somewhat unable to face Chiang Xiao.

”Has Little come back?”

It was then that Chiang Xiao realized something was wrong—why was there a patch of dirt on grandma’s trousers? And her complexion was also off.

Her expression shifted slightly, ”Grandma, what happened to you?”

Ge Liutao was not used to lying, so she told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao’s fingers unconsciously clenched tight around the enamel mug, a surge of rage burning within her.

She wanted to find an opportunity to deal with Chiang Baohe, but now it seemed she couldn’t wait any longer! Chiang Baohe was becoming more and more dangerous; if she didn’t sort him out, who knew what he would do in the future!

With this thought, Chiang Xiao made up her mind, resolutely deciding to handle Chiang Baohe today!

Seeing Chiang Xiao’s pretty face tense and her eyes cold, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao mistakenly thought she was angry at them. They felt inexplicably guilty and hurriedly said to Chiang Xiao, ”Little, you were right all along. From now on, granddad and grandma will listen to you—is that alright?”

”Good. Granddad, grandma, this is your own promise—don’t go back on your word. You must do as you say,” Chiang Xiao did not clarify the misunderstanding and readily accepted their agreement.
