329 In Good Health
Jiang Chun hinted to Old Madam Jiang that sitting on the ground and crying was very effective!
On the other side, she said to Jiang Wu, “Dad, you can’t move your legs now, so it’s useless even if you’re anxious. Don’t worry, my grandmother lives with my uncle’s family and they take good care of her. She’ll be in good health.” ...
Old Madam Jiang wasn’t someone who would mistreat herself. Rheumatism was a problem caused by poor living conditions when she was young and couldn’t take good care of her body, but in other aspects, she took good care of herself.
When Jiang Wu saw Old Madam Jiang’s rosy face and heard her energetic voice, he was no longer anxious.
He tried to convince his mother. “Mom, Jiang Chun is our only daughter. She’s been in the countryside for a year and it’s not easy for us to meet, so there’s no hurry.”
“She’s insensible, so I apologize for her making you uncomfortable! Don’t hold it against a child like her.”
Seeing that her move had no effect on Jiang Wu, Old Madam Jiang became a little anxious and her attitude became even tougher. “Let me tell you, you can only choose one of two. You don’t have to explain so much. If you don’t do as I say, I’ll go to your workplace to cause trouble. Let’s see how you can stay in the workplace in the future!”
Old Madam Jiang was dropping all pretense, so Jiang Chun didn’t intend to be polite anymore when she heard this. “Grandma, you were in a hurry to chase me away because I stopped my father from giving his position to my cousin. But you’re already so old, you should have heard of this saying, right? Cutting off someone’s source of income is like killing their parents. You’re not giving our family any way out!”
“If that’s the case, you’re forcing me into a corner. If you go to my father’s workplace, I can risk my life to go to my uncle’s workplace and the courtyard where you guys live to make a fuss until everyone knows! I’ll let others judge if this is the right thing to do!”
“I don’t believe that giving my father’s job to a healthy young man is more important than my father’s life!”
As the saying went, the timid were afraid of the tough and the hard were afraid of the ruthless. Jiang Chun realized that she couldn’t be soft-hearted to these people. The more soft-hearted she was, the more she would be bullied by them!
When Old Madam Jiang saw Jiang Chun’s unyielding demeanor, she knew that she had no choice, so she look at Jiang Wu again and said, “What your daughter is saying is what you mean, right? You want to cut ties with the Jiang family, right?”
Jiang Chun stood in front of her father and looked straight at Old Madam Jiang with a firm attitude. “Grandma, if you’re willing to lose the five yuan my father gives you every month, we’ll listen to you. If you want to sever ties with us because of this, we have to respect your choice out of filial piety!”
Jiang Wu was unwilling to agree to his mother’s request, but he had never thought of leaving the Jiang family, so he was a little angered by Jiang Chun’s decision. “Jiang Chun!”
When Old Madam Jiang saw her son’s reaction, she looked at Jiang Chun proudly with a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Jiang Chun took a deep breath and turned to look at her father helplessly. “Dad, don’t you understand? You treat them as family, but do they treat you as family? They only want to suck your blood. Even if you don’t do it for yourself, you have to take care of yourself for me and Mom’s sake!”
With that, Jiang Chun stopped looking at her father and turned to Old Madam Jiang and the eldest son. “Grandma, Uncle, if you guys are heartless, don’t blame me for being heartless! My father is about to lose his job, so I’m not afraid of losing face. I won’t be going anywhere these few days. I’ll go downstairs to get a loudspeaker and tell everyone about your schemes!”
When the eldest son saw Jiang Chun’s desperate expression, he was really worried that if Jiang Chun kept her word, how could his family stay in the courtyard in the future?
At the thought of this, he felt a little terrified. Not knowing what to do next, he looked at his mother blankly.
They were used to standing behind their mother and enjoying the benefits Jiang Wu’s family brought, so they had no experience with such direct confrontations.
Old Madam Jiang could no longer hold it in. Her legs were already starting to hurt. When she saw Jiang Chun’s aggressive expression and the timid expression of the eldest son’s family, she was furious. “Help me up!”
Only then did the eldest son and Jiang Yu’s mother hurriedly help her up. Old Madam Jiang endured the pain and decided to hold on for a while longer.
This time, she changed her strategy and looked at Jiang Wu with a sad expression. “Think about the time you had a high fever when you were young. I didn’t sleep well the entire night and took care of you. When you weren’t feeling well, I hugged you for the entire night. Think about it carefully. Do you have to go against us over such a small matter? As for the money to buy your medicine, I’ve also considered it for you and given you a plan. The money is enough for you to buy medicine.”
“Alright, we’ll leave first. Think about it yourself. Is our mother-son relationship more important or your job more important?”
