Volume 1: Reborn in the 1980s, selling lunch boxes with my mother Chapter 12: Separation in front of the coffin?
Hu Qiongfang was not satisfied with beating Jiang Lesheng up . She wanted to separate from Jiang Lesheng while all the relatives of the Jiang family were around!
"His sister-in-law, this is not good, right? Lesheng is already a senior this year. He has good grades and is willing to work hard. He will definitely be a college student in the future. If you separate from him now, won't that distract the child?"
Among Jiang's relatives, the older generation strongly opposed Hu Qiongfang taking her children and separating from her brother-in-law.
In response to this, Hu Qiongfang only had a big eye roll:
"Jiang Lesheng was born to my mother-in-law, not me!"
"Pfft~" The women's giggles were heard all around.
Their generation advocates having more children. Among the women here, especially the married ones, who has not been so angry that she cried behind the scenes because of her mother-in-law's favoritism towards her younger brother-in-law?
Hu Qiongfang said this so straightforwardly!
That’s exactly the truth!
My brother-in-law was born to my mother-in-law, not crawled out of their bellies , so why should they raise him?
Unexpectedly, before the uncles of the Jiang family came out to say anything, it was Jiang Leping's second aunt who came out and advised Hu Qiongfang with good intentions.
"Qiongfang, just endure a few years of hardship and support Lesheng until he graduates from college. By then, he will be a cadre in the unit. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. He was raised by you, so how could he not be filial to you, his elder sister-in-law?"
That’s right!
The other uncles of the Jiang family nodded repeatedly, advising Hu Qiongfang not to just look at the present, but to take a long-term view.
It is not easy to have someone who can read in the countryside.
Jiang Lesheng is already in his third year of high school and will be taking the college entrance examination soon. As his sister-in-law, you just need to grit your teeth and support him for a few more years until he graduates from college. When Jiang Lesheng gets a job and earns money, will he still not be filial to you?
Jiang Tian really wanted to sneer and retort: This blessing is given to you, do you want it?
I didn't expect that Hu Qiongfang, a housewife from the 1980s who had never watched "The Legend of Zhen Huan", would have the same train of thought as the screenwriter of this great drama.
She raised her hand, pointed at the door, and said to her second aunt who had just advised her -
"Since you think Jiang Lesheng has great potential and can be trained well, the whole family will benefit from it, why don't you take him back and support him in school?"
"I have my own son, so I don't expect my brother-in-law to be filial to me."
Damn it! Don’t hit people in the face!
Hu Qiongfang's words are truly amazing.
No wonder the second aunt-in-law rushed out to defend the boy Jiang Lesheng.
She gave birth to four daughters in her life and dreamed of having a son.
No wonder I'm so jealous of a boy like Jiang Lesheng who is good-looking and good at studying.
As soon as they thought of this, some villagers who were eager to watch the fun started to make a fuss nearby.
"His second aunt, I think what Qiongfang said is right. She has a son and a daughter, and she doesn't expect her brother-in-law to be filial to her."
"On the contrary, your family still doesn't have a son. Why don't you take Lesheng home and train him well. If he can become a college student, you and your man will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"
Second aunt's old face suddenly turned purple.
Of course she wants a son, but the prerequisite is that he must come out of her belly, only then can he be her biological son.
You want me to raise someone else's son? Bah! You're just dreaming!
If Jiang Lesheng was a newborn and didn't remember anything, if he was taken home to be raised, perhaps he could become close to them.
But he is already in high school!
To put it bluntly, you are now spending money and effort to support him until he graduates from college. But do you believe that when he becomes successful and returns to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he will still go to pay homage to his biological parents first?
Being pushed around like a toy, Jiang Lesheng couldn't hold back his face. He looked at Hu Qiongfang sinisterly and said coldly, "Let's split up the family, don't regret it later!"
Ha! Whoever regrets is a grandson!
Jiang Tian, who has already run out of the mourning hall and is protecting Hu Qiongfang, is almost going crazy with joy, okay?
Very good!
Before, she was thinking that after keeping the money her father left them, it would be best to find a way to separate from Jiang Lesheng.
We live in a society ruled by law. She couldn't just kill Jiang Lesheng and keep this venomous snake at home, and she had to be on guard against him attacking Chengcheng at any time.
After the family split up, each side lived their own life. At least the safety of her mother and brother was temporarily resolved.
As for the future... Thinking of the girl who was almost killed by Jiang Lesheng in the previous life, Jiang Tian sneered.
In this life, she will not let Jiang Lesheng, this poisonous snake, have any "future".
However, her mother suddenly changed from a hardworking old ox into a fierce tigress, and insisted on separating from her brother-in-law. This was a surprising development that Jiang Tian had never expected.
Jiang Lesheng didn't want to split up the family at all.
He is still in high school, which is the time when he spends the most money. He also needs support from his family for the expenses of going to college in the future.
There was no such thing as working part-time for college students these days, or maybe there was, but Jiang Lesheng didn't know about it.
His original plan was to try to keep his elder brother's death compensation in his own hands.
He would not touch this money easily. As for his school expenses, he would let his sister-in-law continue to work hard for a few years to support him through college.
Anyway, there is not much money to spend in the countryside. My eldest niece Jiang Tian is already twelve years old. I heard that she is not doing well in her studies, so I just let her drop out of school and go home to help her mother farm.
My little nephew Jiang Cheng is a troublemaker. His academic performance is better than when I was a child.
Jiang Lesheng secretly wanted to keep his elder brother's death compensation for himself, so it was part of his plan to make his little nephew a useless child so that he wouldn't have to continue spending money on school.
However, what Jiang Lesheng never expected was that his plan was completely disrupted by Hu Qiongfang and Jiang Tian before it even started.
No! We must not split up the family!
After the family was divided, he, as the younger brother, would definitely not get much of the money left by his brother.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lesheng shook his head firmly.
He insisted that what his mother wanted to see most before she died was a harmonious family, and he didn't want the family to break up just after her mother passed away.
Wouldn't that make him feel uneasy even underground?
The older people around him nodded in agreement after hearing what he said.
As a parent, who doesn’t want to see their children united and harmonious?
Dividing the family in front of the coffin? This is too unfilial.
Jiang Tian clenched his fists and his mind started to work quickly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lesheng, this hypocrite, still uses filial piety to oppress her mother throughout her life.
However, in his previous life, he was hiding behind Wang Chunmei, instigating his mother to use the word "filial piety" to exploit her and her daughter.
In this life, Wang Chunmei died early, so Jiang Lesheng had to stand in front himself.
I have to say that this venomous snake is really smart. It knows how to use the things that the elders care about most to morally blackmail them .
What should I do?
Is all the hard work going to go to waste?
