Chapter 43: The Bottom Line
Jiang Zhenzhen looked back at Zhou Haihua and was stunned, she had never seen Zhou Haihua with such an expression.
Zhou Haihua had a straight face, although her face was pale, her expression was unprecedentedly firm and resolute, she rushed to the front of Jiang Zhenzhen like an old hen who only protects her children, and stretched out her hand to protect Jiang Zhenzhen behind her.
"I don't agree." She repeated, her voice trembling but loud.
As the second daughter-in-law of this family, Jiang Fugui can be said to be the only person in the family who can say a fair word for her and Qingyou, she has always thought that he is a fair and respectable elder, but she didn't expect him to be so partial in this matter.
When she heard that Jiang Fugui asked Jiang Zhenzhen to bear all the blame, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, Jiang Zhenzhen was her bottom line, and she didn't allow anyone to bully her daughter. I don't know where the courage came from, so that she stood in front of her in-laws and said the word "no" for the first time.
When she said this, she thought that she would tremble and panic, but no, there was a faint feeling of joy in her heart.
There seems to be a voice in my heart saying, yes, that's it, it should be like this, you can't always stand behind your daughter and be protected by her, you are the mother.
It may be that Zhou Haihua's cowardly image has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Jiang Fugui did not take Zhou Haihua's words seriously, but blamed: "The second family, you didn't raise your daughter well, what qualifications do you have to say no?" She would not do this kind of thing if she thought about the reputation of her family, I did it for her good, she stole needles when she was a child, and she stole cattle when she grew up, in order to avoid her from making bigger mistakes in the future, she must be taught a lesson. β
"What about Zhenzhen's grandmother? Isn't there anything wrong with that? Why don't you say her grandma? Zhou Haihua said angrily, "If it wasn't for her grandmother who designed to frame me first, how could Zhenzhen do such a thing?" Dad, have you ever thought about what Zhenzhen would do if I had a reputation for stealing people? She's a girl! According to you, Zhenzhen's grandmother would not have done such a thing if she had thought about Zhenzhen's reputation even a little! β
When the always submissive daughter-in-law suddenly contradicted him, Jiang Fugui was even angrier than when he heard that Jiang Zhenzhen was the culprit who ruined Qian Baoping's reputation, and he felt that his majesty was provoked.
"The second one! Do you know what you're talking about? Jiang Fugui narrowed his eyes.
Zhou Haihua is too familiar with Jiang Fugui's expression, every time Jiang Qingyou makes Jiang Fugui angry before, Jiang Fugui has this expression, which means that he is already brewing anger.
If it was before, Zhou Haihua might have bowed her head, but now, she will never back down. She raised her head and said word by word: "I know, I still say that, I don't agree." β
It's really a toast and don't eat and drink, Jiang Fugui opened his mouth, and just wanted to say that if you don't agree, then I will let Qingyou take a leave of absence from you, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered that Qingyou was gone.
Yes, Qing You is gone, Jiang Fugui thought, that's why this Zhou Haihua dared to contradict the elders so unscrupulously!
After Jiang Fugui found that he couldn't handle Zhou Haihua, he could only suppress his anger helplessly, he said: "This family, it's not your turn to be the master of a person surnamed Zhou, Jiang Zhenzhen, if you still recognize me as a grandfather, then do as I say." β
"I'm Zhenzhen's mother, why can't I call the shots about her business?!" Zhou Haihua did not back down in the slightest.
Jiang Zhenzhen said in her heart, is there such a good thing? Do I really want to be a family of yours?
"Grandpa, in your eyes, am I stupid?" Jiang Zhenzhen's tone was sarcastic, "If I really do what you say, then what kind of person will I become?" Just strip the man naked and send it to his grandmother's house while playing? Ha! What will the village say about me in the future, and how will I gain a foothold in the village in the future? Grandpa, in order to get rid of your cuckold reputation, you don't care about my life or death. β
Jiang Qinghe couldn't help but interject and said, "You will move out of the village after marrying Chen Xiangjun in the future, what do you care about the people in the village." β
"Yes, yes, yes, that is, you don't care what others say." Qian Baoping knew that it was up to Jiang Zhenzhen whether her reputation could be whitewashed, so she rarely softened her tone, squeezed out a smile, and said, "And I will explain it to Xiang Jun in private, he will definitely not blame you." β
Jiang Zhenzhen sneered, these people are really a good idea, really think she is stupid?
She didn't even bother to give these two people a look, she calmly and coldly continued to Jiang Fugui: "In the past, my father has always taught me that I must be filial to you and grandma in the future, but now, you have disappointed me too much, grandpa, I will call you grandpa again, from today onwards, we will go our separate ways, and we will no longer be a family!" β
After she finished speaking, she grabbed Zhou Haihua's wrist and said, "Mom, let's go." β
Zhou Haihua and the family had nothing to say, she nodded and walked out of the hall with Jiang Zhenzhen.
Jiang Zhenzhen paused for a moment when she stepped out of the threshold of the hall, and then turned around: "Oh yes, what I said here today, God knows what you know, I know, out of this door, I will never admit that it has anything to do with Jiang Ergou's matter." If you insist on pulling me out, then don't blame me for being cold-blooded, and talk to the villagers about what you have done for my house. β
After speaking, he dragged Zhou Haihua away in a hurry.
"Bang-" There was a loud bang, and an enamel jar smashed into the place where Jiang Zhenzhen was standing just now, accompanied by the sound of Jiang Fugui and Qian Baoping cursing, Jiang Zhenzhen walked out of the gate of Jiang Fugui's house briskly.
Different from Jiang Zhenzhen's cheerful mood, Zhou Haihua seemed to have been drained of all her strength in an instant, and her legs suddenly became weak, if it weren't for Jiang Zhenzhen's quick eyes, Zhou Haihua almost collapsed on the ground.
"Mom, momβwhat's wrong with youβ" Jiang Zhenzhen was startled.
Zhou Haihua stood up straight with the strength of Jiang Zhenzhen's support, she gasped for breath, and patted her chest with palpitations. It took great courage for her to resist Zhou Haihua and Jiang Fugui for the first time, but it was okay just now, but now that she came out of their house, she was afraid to come.
Jiang Zhenzhen understood Zhou Haihua, she gently patted Zhou Haihua's back, and said with bright eyes: "Mom, you behaved so well just now!" β
Zhou Haihua was stunned.
"Really, so handsome!" Jiang Zhenzhen gave a thumbs up and said seriously, "My grandfather and my grandmother are partial, they bully us, we should stand up and resist them, you did a very good job, very right." β
Zhou Haihua's expression was relieved, and she asked, "Really?" β
Jiang Zhenzhen smiled: "Of course it's true, it's really nice to be protected by my mother." β
A smile instantly bloomed on Zhou Haihua's face, yes, she thought the same way, it felt great to be able to protect her daughter.
