Chapter 14

As she spoke, she handed the two keys in her hand to Jiang Xiubai.

Jiang Xiubai took the key without hesitation and opened the lock of the box above under the curious gaze of the others.

Then she took out a yellowed piece of paper from her pocket before continuing to open the lid of the wooden box.

At this time, what caught everyone’s eyes were some accessories such as earrings.

Most of them are made of jade, and you can tell at a glance that they are very valuable.

Old Mrs. Jiang didn’t know the importance of these things. She curled her lips and said, “Xiushi Bai girl, let me say this, your mother has been dead for so long, why haven’t you dealt with her things yet?”

Jiang Xiubai’s eyes darkened, and without saying anything, she picked up each pair of earrings and checked them. Then she opened the yellowed paper and used a pen to tick behind many words.

Then she removed the top layer, revealing the jade bracelets, necklaces, headdresses and other items underneath.

After checking everything, she put everything away, picked up the yellowed paper, looked at it, and said to Wang Rong with a smile, “Auntie Wang, thank you so much for keeping so many things for me over the years. I don’t know how to thank you enough.”

Jiang Yutong, standing by, said with envy, “If you want to thank my mom, why not give her the jade bracelet you finally put away? Think of it as a reward for keeping your things for you for so many years.”

Jiang Xiubai sneered inwardly, but said calmly, “That’s not good. After all, these are all my mother’s things. Aunt Wang is holding them in her hands. I don’t know if she dreams about my mother coming to see her tonight.”

Jiang Yutong···

Wang Rong···

Jiang Xiuhong and Jiang Xiufen had accepted Jiang Xiubai’s kindness during the day, and although they were very envious at this moment, they gave up their plans after looking at each other.

But Old Mrs. Jiang has already turned around.

Seeing so many things, Jiang Xiubai planned to keep them for herself. Even if she really didn’t know the value of them, she knew that things that Wang Rong had kept for so many years couldn’t be of bad quality.

So she spoke in the tone of an elder, “Xiubai girl, you’re still young. It’s definitely not safe to hold so many things in your hands. I think, how about you leave all your things with me and I’ll keep them for you?”

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Old Lady Jiang and said directly, “Not very good.”

If I give it to her for safekeeping, it would be like throwing meat buns at a dog, which will never come back.

She’s not stupid.

Old Mrs. Jiang was choked by her words. She never expected that her granddaughter would not give her any face at all.

Her face darkened instantly.

Looking at Jiang Jianshe who was sitting not far away, he said angrily: “Third brother, your daughter just doesn’t know how to respect the elderly and love the young.”

Then she looked at Wang Rong and said, “I don’t know how you’ve raised your child all these years. Look, what family would have a younger generation treat their elders like this? Huh?”

Jiang Jianshe···

Wang Rong···

Wang Rong was stunned by Old Lady Jiang’s fierceness. She turned to look at her husband and said softly, “Construction?”

Under the watchful eyes of his mother and Wang Rong, Jiang Jianshe said to Jiang Xiubai, who was standing beside the coffee table, “Xiubai, you too, girl. Grandma said she’d keep everything for you. So, just give it to her first. We’re all family, what are you worried about?”

Jiang Xiubai glanced at Jiang Jianshe speechlessly and said sarcastically, “If I hadn’t gotten married yet, I wouldn’t have said anything if you asked me to give these things to my grandmother for safekeeping. But tomorrow is my wedding day, and these things must go with me to the man’s house. You all knew about it on the day we discussed the wedding date.”

Jiang Jianshe paused after hearing this, then looked at his mother again and asked uncertainly, “Mom, look at this?”

Old Mrs. Jiang glanced at her useless third son and really didn’t know what to say about him.

It’s hard to describe his personality in a few words, except that he is good-looking and has a good life.

Old Lady Jiang frowned and looked at Jiang Xiubai opposite her. A sharp voice came out of her mouth: “Xiubai, no matter what, I am your grandmother. How can I harm you?

If you ask me, these things in front of you are not suitable to take with you when you get married tomorrow. After all, you don’t know what the man’s family is like. Why don’t you go and live there for a while, and when you find that the other party’s family is nice, you can come back and ask me to take these things back?”

Jiang Xiu didn’t even bother to say anything to the other person. He just picked up the two boxes and walked towards his room.

When Mrs. Jiang saw her like this, she could no longer sit still and stood up from her seat in an instant.

He said sternly, “Jiang Xiubai?”

After saying that, seeing that the other party didn’t even pause, he angrily said: “You dead girl, did you hear what I said? What do you mean? Are you still worried about your dear grandma?”

Jiang Xiubai put the box into his room and came out again. He ignored Old Mrs. Jiang and walked past her and reached out to take his things from the coffee table.

When Old Lady Jiang saw that she didn’t take her seriously, her anger rose rapidly.

He walked straight forward and grabbed the thing in Jiang Xiubai’s hand.

Jiang Xiubai glared at the other person, exerted force with her hand, and shook off Old Lady Jiang’s hand. Then, she picked up her two things, stood up, and continued to walk into the bedroom.

Old Mrs. Jiang stood there panting heavily, obviously very angry about Jiang Xiubai’s behavior.

At this time, Jiang Yutong, who was not far away, added fuel to the fire and said, “Grandma, look at what my sister did. If it were me, grandma, you told me to store all my things with you, I would definitely do it. I am not like my sister Xiubai.”

When Mrs. Jiang heard what Jiang Yutong said, she became even angrier.

She didn’t care about anything and started cursing at Jiang Xiubai who was busy working.

What a little bitch, you stinky bitch, you are a jinx who killed your own mother…

No matter what, Mrs. Jiang would curse whatever was unpleasant to her.

After cursing for a while, Old Mrs. Jiang still felt unsatisfied and started to prepare to pick up something to beat Jiang Xiubai.

She looked around in the living room for a while, then went straight to the corner, picked up a broom and walked towards Jiang Xiubai.

Jiang Xiubai had been paying attention to what Old Lady Jiang was doing. When he saw Old Lady Jiang coming towards him with a broom, the rest of the Jiang family did not help to stop her.

She was not intimidated either, and smiled as she looked at Old Lady Jiang who was getting closer and closer to her.

Then he pointed his finger at his face and said, “Come on, come on, hit me with a broom so that all the neighbors can see. I am a bride who is getting married tomorrow, and on the first day of my marriage, I was beaten by my own grandmother.

The key is that the reason they beat me up is because they coveted my mother’s dowry. I guess everyone likes to watch this kind of excitement. Come on, beat me, beat me to death. It’s just right. If you beat me so hard that I can’t see anyone, I won’t have to get married tomorrow. Did your plan succeed?”
