330 Disillusionment
With that, Old Madam Jiang endured the pain and left.
Jiang Chun had to admit that Old Madam Jiang’s last move was much more brilliant than her crying, shouting, and fighting.
Humans were emotional creatures, especially people like Jiang Wu, who valued relationships. This move was very effective against him.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chun took the time to go out and ask about the recruitment time for this year. When she found out that the name list would be confirmed in three days, she instantly understood why they were in a hurry to chase her away.
Jiang Chun knew that she had to have a good talk with her parents. Or, she could drag the time and make Jiang Yu go to the countryside. However, as long as she wasn’t at home, her dad’s job would be snatched by those people sooner or later.
After all, other than her third cousin, there were still a few other cousins of the right age. If they didn’t completely give up on the position, this matter definitely wouldn’t be over.
After dinner, Jiang Chun went to her parents’ room. “Dad, Mom, let’s talk.”
Jiang Chun took a stool and sat in front of her father’s bed. “Dad, what are your plans now?”
Jiang Wu looked at his wife and daughter guiltily. “Jiang Chun, I know you’re thinking for my sake, but I think some things are more important than money.”
Although she had already mentally prepared herself, Jiang Chun was still angered by Jiang Wu’s final decision.
“Dad, are you really planning to let me send all my salary back every month?”
When Jiang Mei heard this, she was the first to disagree. “No! That’s our daughter’s dowry money. We don’t have the ability to save dowry for her, so at least we can’t drag her down anymore!”
Jiang Wu hurriedly comforted his wife. “Don’t be anxious. I didn’t say that I wanted my daughter’s money. Jiang Chun, you don’t have to send it.”
“I’ve thought about it. I plan to get your mother to go to the match factory to get a matchbox for me to paste. Ten of them cost a penny. If I’m proficient, I’ll cost ten yuan a month. Coupled with the five yuan your cousin gave me, we’ll have 30 yuan. It’s just that it’ll be hard on your mother. It wasn’t easy for her to start living a better life, but now, she has to live a hard life with me.”
To Jiang Mei, as long as it didn’t harm her daughter’s interests, she wasn’t afraid of suffering herself. “It’s fine. Don’t all families live like this?”
Jiang Wu held his wife’s hand and the two of them looked at each other affectionately.
Jiang Chun was speechless as she watched the two of them make things difficult for themselves, but act so touched by each other’s so-called sacrifices. She was so exasperated that she actually lost her temper.
“Dad, Mom, we don’t owe my uncle’s family anything. Why should we suffer and give all the benefits to others?”
Of course, Jiang Wu knew that he didn’t owe his siblings anything, but he owed his parents. “Your grandmother gave birth to me and raised me. Now that she has mentioned this, she will be unhappy if I don’t agree.”
Jiang Chun decided to analyze it for her father. She had to completely destroy her father’s fantasy of kinship with her grandmother in order to save him from being free labor for the other Jiang family members.
“Dad, Grandma has been involved in many things. Which one of them didn’t you agree to? But what happened in the end? How did she treat our family and that of my uncles? Did she treat you better because you agreed? No.”
“She actually treats you worse than she treats my uncles. Do you think this is still a question of whether you agree or not?”
When Jiang Wu heard Jiang Chun’s words, he fell into deep thought. He knew that he wasn’t as well-liked by his parents as his siblings were. Putting aside his two married sisters, he was the dumbest among the five brothers in the family, so he had wanted to do more things for his parents to see since he was young. As time passed, he became used to this kind of sacrifice, and his family seemed to be used to asking him for things.
Jiang Chun could tell that Jiang Wu looked a little sad, but she still decided to be ruthless and expose his unrealistic fantasy.
“Whenever I go to my grandparents’ house. They give everyone gifts but me. Grandma favors boys over girls, but she still gave my female cousins candy during the new year. However, I never got one.”
“No matter who did something wrong, they would blame it on me without hesitation. Is it because you didn’t protect me? No, it’s because they knew that Grandma would never listen to our family.”
“There’s also Mom. When everyone went to Grandma’s house to help prepare New Year’s Eve dinner during the new year, she went the earliest and came back the latest. My aunts chatted while working, but as long as Mom dared to stop, she would be scolded even if she just had to drink water or go to the bathroom!”
