Chapter 23
Sinister villain
With Jiang Fu's consent, separating from the family was no longer difficult.
Jiang Chuan's and Jiang Fu's both signed their names on the agreement forms. All they needed to do was wait for Jiang Chuan to go to town and register for a new household register, and all the procedures would be complete.
Before they signed the agreement, Wang Fen refused to give Jiang Chuan any of her assets and cried on the ground.
It was probably because they had confirmed the separation, Wang Fen didn't even care about how she looked in front of everyone else. She shouted, saying Jiang Chuan was ruthless and that she would not let any of his nephews take care of him in his old age.
Wang Fen's behavior caused a lot of discussion in the village. There was little entertainment during this time; everyone usually listened to gossip and talked about family affairs. It was not easy to encounter such a big event. Naturally, they talked about it.
After sending the clan elder off, the remaining Jiang family members also left.
The village chief asked Jiang Chuan to stay behind to discuss the family's plan. Not only did Wang Fen's actions give others a source of entertainment, but they also gave the village chief and the elders a slap in their faces. From ancient times until now, other than those who made mistakes and were driven out of the family, there had never been a situation where the son moved out of the family without taking anything.
Jiang Chuan looked at the village chief, who had been taking care of them for the past two days, and smiled, “Thank you, chief. I feel much more relaxed now that I can move out. At least I don't have to worry about Xiao Xia and Xiao Gu being sold.”
“Alright! Then where are you going to stay?” The village chief asked.
Jiang Chuan was also worried about where they would live after coming out. He even considered going back to the mountain to get the vehicle.
Seeing that Jiang Chuan didn't answer, the village leader smiled and said, “There's a vacant house in the west of the village. It belongs to my distant relative. His son had made a fortune in the city a few years ago, and the house is now empty. He said that I could decide whether to keep or sell the house. Although it's a little remote and quiet, how about you move there after you move out?”
Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up when they heard the chief's words. After thanking the village head, Jiang Chuan took the family of three back to their house to get their things.
At this time, the Jiang family, who had already returned home, were in a state of unrest. Jiang Fu and his wife, Jiang Gui and his wife, and Jiang Hua and his wife, a total of six people, occupied the main house. Outside the house, the younger ones were divided into two groups, each having their fun.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Fu spoke first, “From today on, Jiang Chuan is no longer a member of the Jiang family. Our work will be redistributed.”
“Jiang Chuan is so unfilial. He only knows how to anger his father and mother. Father and mother, come and drink some water.” Jiang Gui's wife brought two glasses of water to the old couple.
Jiang Fu didn't reply but took a sip of water while Wang Fen smiled.
Jiang Hua's wife glanced at her eldest sister-in-law and didn't say anything. Before she went to the village chief's house, she had pulled her husband aside and told him not to talk much.
If Jiang Chuan could separate, then let him be. With Jiang Chuan as the leader, it would be easy for her family to separate in the future. The old couple's favoritism towards the eldest brother's family could be seen clearly by anyone in the family. There was no reason to stay and let them suck their family's blood now.
“Father, are you going to let Jiang Chuan and his family off so easily? Isn't that letting them off too easily?” Jiang Gui said with a straight face, his small eyes filled with anger.
“I've already signed the papers. What else do you want?” Jiang Fu asked in a flat tone.
Jiang Gui chuckled and cracked his knuckles. Because he had been favored by the two elders of the Jiang family since he was young, and because of his robust looks, he looked pretty intimidating.
“It's not easy for Jiang Chuan to live with three women. There's quite a lot of gangsters these days, isn't there?” His words revealed his sinister intentions.
Jiang Chuan had done almost everything for the Jiang family over the years, but the Jiang family still felt that Jiang Chuan owed them.
Jiang Fu took another sip of water from the large teacup, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Wang Fen, sitting beside him, nodded with a smile and said, “Yup! It's not easy to live these days! How can they not suffer!”
When Jiang Hua's wife heard these words, her heart started beating like a drum. She timidly hid behind her husband, thinking that it had to be carried out slowly if she wanted to separate from the family too. She had to see what Jiang Chuan's family was going to do before making any plans.
Jiang Hua, who had been silent since the incident, had a strange feeling whenever he thought of Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia.
