Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 991: Chapter 992 I Can Help You

Qizhi, has it changed?

It’s not just a change; it’s not Chiang Laoer anymore!

What on earth was going on, Chiang Songtao just couldn’t figure it out.

Suddenly, the family of Chiang Laoer had changed their lifestyle entirely, from being at their beck and call, bullied for being honest, harmless, and poor, to now being in a position where they could not curry any favor from them.

”Dad, Little has changed even more and has become quite beautiful now,” Chiang Yuequn couldn’t help recalling Chiang Xiao’s unmatched charm, and said, ”With her looks, I’m sure many young masters in the city would fancy her.”

”How beautiful can she be? She still has just two eyes and a mouth,” Ho Laidi didn’t like hearing him praise Chiang Xiao. She really disliked Chiang Xiao and was displeased no matter what was said in her favor.

”Mom, you don’t know, those young masters from wealthy or powerful families just love such young girls.”

Chiang Songtao, uninterested in this topic, responded, ”So what? With Chiang Xiao’s temperament, whoever gets close to her is asking for trouble.”

”That’s not necessarily true, some people like fiery ones, like a tiny chili pepper—spicy and flavorful,” Chiang Yuequn remarked.

Listening to him, Chiang Songtao always felt something was off, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was.

When dinner time came around, Cui Dayuan and his group returned, and they were a bit annoyed to hear that they had to vacate a room, but ultimately they didn’t say much and moved.

Chiang Yuequn was there mostly because of them, naturally making an effort to hang around and converse, trying to ingratiate himself when he wanted their favor; he was quite skillful at it and had already presented himself as one of Cui Dayuan’s students for the day.

Privately, Chiang Songtao told Ho Laidi, feeling that their younger son indeed had a bright future, being smart enough.

”I think it’s also because our youngest son is smart. Professor Cui and the others are willing to talk more with him. You see, like me, uneducated, they don’t take much notice of me.”

Ho Laidi said these words somewhat sheepishly. Indeed, Cui Dayuan and his group weren’t keen on talking to her, sometimes not even bothering to answer her questions.

”You’re just fine, an ignorant country wife; just keep quiet and cook your meals! We have our son, it’s not like we need you to go out.”

Everyone was focused on Cui Dayuan and his group, and on Chiang Yuequn as well, which made Chiang Baohe, who felt ignored, even more irritable, and he took it out on her vigorously in bed at night.

Zou Xiaoling had come to accept this man as her husband, but his abuse was becoming more and more unbearable for her.

”You whore, lying there like a dead dog without moving! Are you trying to get me to kill you?” That night, Chiang Baohe was rough with her again, cursing, ”Is this skinny body trying to grind me to death? If it wasn’t for you, that slut Yu would’ve been plumper; she would’ve felt soft to hold!”

Hearing him mention Yu Chunyu again and comparing her to Chunyu, Zou Xiaoling suddenly felt like collapsing, immediately retorting, ”Since you can’t stop thinking about her, why don’t you sleep with her!”

With a slap, Chiang Baohe sent his hand across her face, turning her head, ”You dare mock me? You think because my leg is useless, you want me to go after her, don’t you?”

”I can help you!” Zou Xiaoling blurted out.

At this, even Chiang Baohe was taken aback, his hand raised to slap her again freezing in place.

She wanted to help him? What to do?

”You tell me, what do you want me to do?” Chiang Baohe looked at her.
