Soon it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Jiang Sanluo took his wife and children to his mother-in-law's house to pay New Year greetings as usual.
I had a quick lunch there and then came back.
As soon as he arrived home, Jiang Sanlang was called over by his father.
Outside her parents' main house, Jiang Yunniang knelt in front of Mrs. Jiang Liu and cried. Next to her stood her youngest son Zhang Yuying and her youngest daughter Hongxiao.
"Mom, he really has no choice. Zhang Lang said, if he doesn't give me the money, he will be beaten to death by that family. Mom, can you please just watch Hong Xiao and Yuying lose their father?"
"What are you talking about? He hooked up with other women and gave birth to a child, and he asked our family to tell him the truth?" Ms. Jiang Liu slammed the table angrily.
Jiang Yunniang: "He didn't hook up with anyone, not even that bitch seduced him. Mom, Zhang Jia said that if he gave them another two hundred taels, everything would be fine, and they would never interact with each other again."
Jiang Liu said angrily: "Do I believe his lies?"
Jiang Yunniang nodded: "He believes."
"He doesn't believe it!" Mrs. Jiang Liu said, "My brother has already asked about it. That Zhang Jia teamed up with others to deceive me. I am so stubborn."
"mother……"
"Let him see if I won't make peace with him! Zhang Jia has a very deep scheming mind and is simply not worth what I have to do for him."
"No! He doesn't ask for reconciliation! Yukun is not married, and Yuying and Hongxiao are very young. If he reconciles with him, what will the children do?" Jiang Yunniang cried.
Not to mention her two sons, let’s talk about her little daughter Hongxiao, who will be able to hold her head high in front of outsiders from now on.
Old Man Jiang was so angry that he banged his cigarette, "Then what should I do? Should I keep giving him money to fill his hole? What do I think of our family? As a free bank for me to keep that beast?"
Jiang Yunniang covered her face and cried bitterly.
Jiang Sanlang saw that scene when he walked outside the house, and his face was ugly.
His eldest sister really couldn't hold on to the wall. It seemed that she couldn't live without that man.
"I'm here." Old Man Jiang looked at his third son and said, "Let's go to the east."
Jiang Sanlang sat on a chair next to the Kang and asked, "Dad, why did you call him here?"
Old Man Jiang coughed and sighed: "My eldest sister looks like this, let me see what I should do."
"What can he do?" Jiang Sanlang said coldly: "The eldest sister once said that her family's affairs have nothing to do with him, so he asked not to get involved."
Jiang Yunniang suddenly turned around and cried: "Sanlang, I can't interfere like that. Is he the father of Yukun and Yuying? If I beat him like that, how can he hold his head up in front of others in the future?"
"So, what do I want to do when I cry in front of my parents tomorrow? Let him give Zhang a beating to save his face?" Jiang Sanlang looked at his eldest sister coldly.
Jiang Yunniang shook her head: "How could he mean that? If not...he couldn't do anything about Zhang Lang. The family asked him for two hundred taels of silver. If they didn't give it, they would have to marry the woman back to be their equal wife. Otherwise, they would
Please punish him to death."
"He dares!" Mrs. Jiang Liu shouted angrily, pointing at Jiang Yunniang and angrily saying, "Yunniang, if you can't speak for me, I am too weak. If Zhang Jia dares to marry an equal wife, I will go to the county government to sue him for suspension.
Marry another wife!"
"Mother..." Jiang Yunniang said in shock: "If he goes to jail, our family will be completely destroyed. You must not do that."
She turned to Jiang Sanlang again: "Sanlang, if he begs me, I will lend him two hundred taels of silver first. From now on, whether he is an ox or a horse, he will be able to give it to me."
Jiang Sanlang sneered coldly and turned to look at his parents: "Dad, if I ask him to come, will you let him give the money to the elder sister?"
Old Man Jiang coughed in embarrassment, "When did he ask me to pay for it? Well, we can't do anything about my eldest sister, so why don't you ask me to come and discuss something?"
"He won't pay a penny."
Jiang Sanlang said: "He has nothing to discuss. The eldest sister is asking for a divorce. She and the children will be supported by our brothers. Please, she can handle her own affairs and don't bother him from now on. He, Jiang Sanlang, doesn't have the spare money to support Zhang."
A and his wife’s family.”
After that, he got up and left.
"Saburo!"
Jiang Yunniang was so angry that she turned around and threw herself in front of her parents: "Dad! Mom! Can't we care about our daughter? Zhang Jia has always been good when he makes mistakes. My daughter can't abandon him just because he made a mistake once."
Mrs. Jiang Liu pushed her daughter away, pulled Yuying and Hongxiao to her and asked, "Yuying, Hongxiao, grandma asked us, is it okay if my father is wrong for my mother?"
Yuying nodded: "Dad, my mother is very good."
Hongxiao: "Daddy is very fond of buying sweet cakes for grandma to eat. It's great that daddy made a mistake for grandma."
Old Man Jiang didn't believe it, so he said to his daughter, "Ms. Yun, if Zhang Jia really cares about me and cares about that family, how could he have two children with another woman?"
He heard from Sanlang that Zhang A and his wife had a son and a daughter, and the oldest child was already three years old.
Sanlang said that Zhang A would not co-star in a play for Yun Niang and ask her to go back to her parents' house to get money to support him and his wife's family.
"My shop has been pawned to them a long time ago, Yun Niang, let me tell dad who is running the shop now, or is it the brother from the outside?" Old Man Jiang asked.
Jiang Yunniang lowered her head, covered her face and sobbed.
Old Man Jiang sighed: "Niang Yun, that Zhang Jia's heart is no longer with me, so don't be obsessed with me anymore."
His daughter's ears are soft and she will believe whatever they say.
It is estimated that Zhang A has been pretending to be a good husband to deceive Yun Niang so that she can go back to her parents' house over and over again to give him money to squander.
"Dad, ask me again, every time I go back to my parents' house to celebrate the New Year, why doesn't Zhang A come?" Jiang Laoshuan continued to ask.
Jiang Yunniang murmured: "He, he took his child to Zhangjia Village to celebrate the New Year. As you know, his parents died early, but his brother and sister-in-law pushed him to grow up. The eldest brother is like his father. If he didn't take the child to celebrate the New Year, he would go there...
…”
Old man Jiang turned to his granddaughter and asked, "Hongxiao, does my father take me to Zhangjiacun every year to pay New Year's greetings?"
Hong Xiao nodded confusedly: "Well, he and his eldest brother went to his uncle's house to pay New Year greetings, and he asked to stay there for a few days."
"What about my father? He is also at my uncle's house?" Old Man Jiang asked.
Hongxiao bit her leg and pointed: "Dad has to go home first, and asked him and his eldest brother to spend more time with his uncle and his mother-in-law, and then go back in a few days."
Every year after she and her eldest brother went to her uncle's house, her father left. One time, her eldest brother wanted to take her back early, but the uncle stopped him and refused to let her go.
And the second brother didn’t come to Ah Weng’s house with his mother-in-law to pay New Year greetings.
"Dad, don't ask me anymore!" Jiang Yunniang stood up as if someone had stabbed her in a sore spot, grabbed her daughter Hongxiao and walked outside.
Mrs. Jiang Liu and her wife looked at each other wrongly and shook their heads.
My daughter is hopeless.
That Zhang A doesn't come to Jiang's house every New Year, and makes excuses to go to his eldest brother's house. Then he returns to the county town to celebrate the New Year with his eldest brother without his children.
The girl in question was supposed to be innocent, but she deceived herself and was coaxed into confusion by that man with just a few words.
Mrs. Jiang Liu sighed and said to her wife: "Don't let her go wandering eastward. Does Zhang Jia want to control Yun Niang and the child in his lap so that our family can always support him?"
It doesn’t make sense! Take Dalang Erlang and the others with you later, and let’s go to Zhangjiacun and have a good talk.”
"What's the point of going to Zhangjiacun? Brothers Zhang Jia have already separated. They would choke me to death if they open their mouths. Besides, we may not be able to find anyone."
Old Man Jiang snorted: "Take a few people to the county seat, find Zhang Jia and ask him directly what he means."
If you want to marry an equal wife, let him marry her and take your daughter home.
Mrs. Jiang Liu frowned: "What about Yun Niang? What if she stops me?"
Old Man Jiang: "If she dares to stop her, so that she never has to go back to her parents' home again, our family will be without that girl!"
