Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Not a Word

So, the person behind all this was actually Yu Chunyu from the town’s middle school?

Yu Chunyu!

Chiang Xiao’s eyes grew cold; she had not expected Yu Chunyu to meddle in their family’s sordid affairs!

What on earth did Yu Chunyu want to accomplish!

Chiang Songtao also hadn’t expected Chiang Lidong to so easily draw Yu Chunyu out, but he wasn’t too concerned about it. Since Xiao Yu was helping them, why fear Chiang Xiao’s knowing about it? Besides, Chiang Xiao would later attend their school. As a student, how could she dare to challenge a teacher?

Moreover, if she confronted Xiao Yu, it had nothing to do with them; they hadn’t forced Xiao Yu to speak out or asked him to hatch schemes for their family.

”Give me candy, I want candy!” Chiang Lidong, unconcerned with what the adults were thinking, only had food on his mind; if he didn’t get candy, he would make a fuss.

Chiang Xiao handed him two gummy candies, ”Stay put, make noise again and I’ll spank you!”

She glanced at Chiang Lidong’s bottom, thinking that the little stool at home couldn’t withstand his sitting girth. In this era, becoming a chubby child was no easy feat.

In her past life, she remembered Chiang Lidong becoming fatter and fatter, his originally delicate features swallowed by his bloated figure, his eyes shrinking to half their size by age ten.

But he wasn’t her son; it was none of her business.

”Only two? But you have a whole plate there! Give them all to me! They’re all mine!” Chiang Lidong immediately resumed his tantrum, even kicking at Chiang Xiao, ”You wretched brat, if you don’t give me all the candy, I’ll call the police!”

Was he seeing calling the police as some kind of panacea?

A kick struck Chiang Xiao squarely on the shin and her temper flared. Regardless of him being a child, she pushed him, and Chiang Lidong fell on his bottom onto the ground.

The stone-paved courtyard was hard, and the fall must have hurt. He immediately began bawling loudly. ”Grandpa! That wretched girl is bullying me; hit her, beat her to death!”

”This is my home; you come to my place and yell to beat me to death?” Chiang Xiao grabbed a broom, brandishing it, ”Cry again, and I’ll really hit you!”

Chiang Lidong was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong; seeing Chiang Xiao was truly not joking with a stern expression, he instantly puckered his lips, sobbing quietly, trying hard to hold back.

”Chiang Xiao! You really don’t act like a sister should!” Chiang Songtao quickly helped him up and glanced critically at Chiang Xiao, then said, ”Alright, give him more candy to pacify Dongdong. I need to speak with your grandfather!”

With that, he headed for the hall.

”Second, not to criticize, but since Chiang Xiao is staying with you, you should teach her properly. Seeing her behave like that just now and you, as a grandfather, sitting silent by the side, how can she be properly taught?”

Chiang Songtao glanced at Chiang Songhai and frowned slightly, thinking to himself that his partner was right, Chiang Laoer had changed.

In the past, how could he have tolerated Chiang Xiao bullying the Chiang Family’s male grandchild? He would have reprimanded Chiang Xiao. But this time, when Chiang Xiao pushed Dongdong down, Chiang Laoer didn’t utter a word from beginning to end!

Chiang Songtao felt very angry inside.

”What are you sitting there for? Come here, I need to discuss something with you.” He walked over to a bench in the hall, sat down, took out a roll of cigarettes, and struck a match to light one, taking a deep inhale. The blue-gray smoke spiraled upward, casting his face in a shroud of sorrow.
