Chapter 2239: There Is a Wolf in the House, Keep Away From Strangers 22
Although Mr. Jiang didn't defend Xi Ying much last night, Xi Ying could tell that Mr. Jiang cared about her and felt sorry for her, but he couldn't say anything because of his low status in the family.
So when Xi Ying saw Jiang this morning, she was willing to give her enough respect.
"Man Qing, why are you moving so slowly? I used to be so spoiled by you. From now on, I should let you get up so early every day to make breakfast for everyone! I don't know how much your father has paid for this family if I let you be lazy again. Why are you just standing here? Why don't you hurry up and light the fire? Are you looking at me like this and waiting for me to feed you?"
Jiang said these words in a loud voice, as if he was speaking to someone on purpose.
Although what she said was ugly, the movements of her hands did not stop.
As she spoke, she opened the lid of the pot, took out a white steamed bun and a bowl of steamed eggs, and handed them to Xi Ying.
Xi Ying looked at her, and she winked at Xi Ying, telling him to take these to the back of the stove to eat.
Xi Ying smiled slightly, nodded to Mr. Jiang, took these things and sat behind the stove, lighting the fire while eating.
[Ms. Jiang really loves you, host! Alas, if I were not afraid that you would be accused of being unfilial, I would really want you to take Jiang and leave the Zhang family! The Zhang family is simply speechless. Look at the father of the original owner, how does he deserve to be a father? If the host hadn't been able to do it last night, you would have been beaten half to death by that father!
He won't think about you at all, let alone think from your point of view. I even think that he beat you just to vent some bad emotions! Hey, host, tell me, could it be that one of his sons made him angry, but he took it out on you?
】
Xi Ying also thought about what Xiao Yiyi said, but when she came back, Zhang Tianhui already had that dead face, so no matter how she thought about it, she couldn't think of the important point.
Xi Ying stuck her head out and asked Jiang in a low voice, "Mom, what happened last night?"
When Mrs. Jiang heard Xi Ying's question, she first walked to the kitchen door and looked around for a while. After seeing that everyone's room was quiet, she walked back this time and said quietly: "Your second brother has been with your father before." You vowed not to gamble anymore, but last night someone came to collect debts and your father found out that he actually owed a huge amount of debt, a total of twenty taels of silver! This is not a small amount, you! Dad was almost furious!"
"Hey, you said you were the same, but why did you just throw dirty water on your sister-in-law yesterday? You came back so late at night, how can you not let your father catch you and beat you? You also know that you Your father favors boys over girls. No matter how good-looking you are, he won't care about you at all. Haven't you done a good job since you were a child? You are cautious and don't talk much, so your father can't attack you. Why did you do it yesterday? Becoming so flamboyant?”
"Also, Man Qing, yesterday I saw you actually grabbed the bamboo stick your father used to beat you. Where did you get so much strength? Let mom take a look at your hand. Are there any injuries?"
Jiang quickly walked up to Xi Ying and asked with concern.
Xi Ying stretched out her hand and said, "Mom, I'm fine. What about the twenty taels that second brother owes?"
"What else can you do? Your father can only bear the money! With your second brother's behavior, can you still expect him to pay back the money himself?"
