Chapter 71 : You Have to Take Responsibility

Jiang Yu will not give in to them just because she is about to marry He Tingyue.

It’s best to live in peace. They took the initiative to cause trouble, and Jiang Yu was not going to endure it.

Lin Hongxia is not a person who is good at talking. She has a high seniority in this compound and everyone respects her.

“You! You are indeed a country bumpkin, without any manners at all!”

She originally wanted to stab Jiang Yu twice, but she didn’t expect to get so angry instead.

Jiang Yu looked up at her, her chin slightly raised.

“Auntie, you look down on country people, why did you choose a country girl as your daughter-in-law? I guess Jiang Ting marrying Fu Xiangyang is also considered too high a target in your eyes. If that’s the case, why did you choose a country girl? Is Fu Xiangyang sick?”

Her words hit the nail on the head, causing Lin Hongxia’s face to change drastically.

It would have been fine if she hadn’t predicted it, but Jiang Yu happened to be right!

She came down the stairs quickly and stepped on a banana peel without noticing, falling flat on her butt.

“Ahhh—”

Lin Hongxia screamed in pain like a pig being slaughtered, and she felt as if her buttocks were about to split.

“Jiang Ting! Jiang Ting, are you a dead person? Your mother-in-law was bullied like this, and you are pretending to be dead in there!”

Only Xu Lihua looked curious “Old Lin, what Jiang Yu said can’t be true, is there something wrong with your Xiangyang’s health?”

Lin Hongxia gasped and spat heavily.

“Nonsense, my Xiangyang is fine, what’s the problem?”

Jiang Ting hurried out of the house with her hands on her hips, “Aunt Xu, there are some things you can’t say carelessly. I’m his bedmate, how could I not know? If there really is a problem, can I marry him?”

Lin Hongxia yelled angrily “Stop talking, help me up!”

Jiang Ting then stepped forward to help Lin Hongxia up, but she didn’t have enough strength and didn’t know where to put her foot, so not only did she fail to help her up, she also pulled her down.

Jiang Ting just sat on Lin Hongxia.

“Ah …

“Mom! I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do that, I just lost my balance for the moment!”

Jiang Ting finally got up and tried to help Lin Hongxia again.

As a result, Lin Hongxia slapped her in the face.

“Get lost! Go get someone to help me and take me to the hospital!”

Jiang Yu turned her gaze away and looked at He Feiyan, who had rushed out of the house.

He Feiyan’s face lit up. “Sister Jiang Yu, what brings you here?”

Jiang Yu smiled slightly. “I came to the city to buy some things and to bring you some food.”

Although it had been in the bus for a while, it still looked fresh because it was freshly picked.

He Feiyan ignored Lin Hongxia’s situation and pulled them both into the house. “My brother is at work, he isn’t home.”

Jiang Yu replied, “I’m just here to deliver something, not to look for him.”

He Feiyan teased, “Tsk tsk, so heartless! If my brother heard that, he’d be heartbroken.”

Jiang Xin blinked, “Why would my brother-in-law be sad?”

He Feiyan was at a loss for words, it wasn’t appropriate to discuss such matters with a child.

“You must be Sister Jiang Yu’s younger sister, right? You’re so pretty, just like your sister.”

She would definitely grow into a beauty.

Jiang Xin quickly forgot what she had just said and smiled shyly. “Thank you, sis! You’re beautiful too!”

He Feiyan exclaimed, “Your little mouth is so sweet! What did you eat to grow up so charming?”

Jiang Xin whispered, “I don’t compliment easily. My sister is really pretty, even prettier than my second sister.”

Jiang Ting’s demeanor reflected her personality. What Jiang Xin disliked was not her looks, but her temperament.

He Feiyan urged them to sit down. “Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat.”

“No, no, my older sister still needs to go shopping, we’ll leave soon.”

Though young, Jiang Xin was sensible.

She took Lin Hongxia’s earlier words to heart. If they went to her house asking for food and gifts, it would feel like extortion.

She needed to uphold Jiang Yu’s reputation and not appear greedy or gluttonous.

In this way, her older sister could hold her head high in her husband’s family.

He Feiyan noticed Jiang Xin’s thoughts and felt a mix of emotions.

At Jiang Xin’s age, she hadn’t been so considerate.

But being sensible and considerate always comes at a price.

“Your sister is quite pitiful.”

Jiang Yu laughed, “Yes, that’s why I cherish her the most in our family.”

Jiang Xin wasn’t ungrateful, she knew who treated her well.

“Okay, I really have other things to do, so I won’t stay any longer. Tell your brother to cook these dishes soon, they won’t taste good if they wilt.”

He Feiyan escorted them out but was blocked by Jiang Ting at the door.

“Are you just leaving like that?” Jiang Ting asked sharply.

Jiang Yu was puzzled. “What else would I do? Do you want to invite me in to ask for money?”

Jiang Ting was furious. “My mother-in-law fell because of you and is now in the hospital! You have to take responsibility!”

Jiang Yu laughed. “Your mother-in-law fell by herself. I didn’t touch her at all. There were so many witnesses in the compound, and you still want to blame me? Are you serious?”

“If it weren’t for what you said, my mother-in-law wouldn’t have fallen! You must take responsibility, or you can’t leave today!” Jiang Ting declared, blocking Jiang Yu with her arms.

He Feiyan wasn’t polite, she pushed Jiang Ting aside.

“Get out of the way! If you block my door anywhere else, I won’t say anything to you. But blocking my door here? Are you serious? Jiang Ting, since you helped me last time, just leave quickly and don’t force me to be rude!”

Jiang Ting felt hurt. “Feiyan, you just said I helped you last time. Is this how you treat your savior?”

He Feiyan sneered. “The one who saved me was my older brother. Jiang Yu was the one who helped call for help. You just casually mentioned Duan Yuzhen, how can you claim to be my savior? Fine, if you want to consider it a favor, let’s repay it! Over this period, first it was malted milk, then brown sugar, peach cakes, and so on. How many things has your family borrowed from mine? Have I asked you to return them?”

“Jiang Ting, have some shame! Is your mouth made of gold? Just a few words, and you think they’re worth so much? You keep coming to us asking for things in various ways. If this keeps up, are you going to demand my life tomorrow? Should I just willingly let you take it?”

Xu Lihua shook her head. “Jiang Ting, how can you be so shameless as to ask for things from others!”

Even the usually uninvolved grandma couldn’t help but poke her head out.

“Jiang Ting, I didn’t realize you were so greedy. I thought you were a simple and honest person.”

Jiang Ting was extremely embarrassed but couldn’t deny it.

Lin Hongxia had sent her to borrow those things, claiming they were loans, but she had planned from the start not to return them.

The first thing they borrowed was brown sugar, which was never returned. The He family didn’t say anything, encouraging Lin Hongxia to come back again.

Time and again, He Feiyan had reached her limit of endurance.

It was only after He Tingyue yelled at her one last time that she finally stopped and getting angry with Jiang Ting and treated the situation as if she were getting rid of a beggar.
