Chapter 288 Whose Fault Is It?
Luo Shiyu yawned continuously out of boredom.
[Finally, school is over. This teacher's lectures are so hypnotic.]
When Jiangnan got home, a woman was blocking her door and making trouble. Standing next to her was the boy who had caused trouble with Xiaole at that time.
Wu Feng was venting her anger.
"Where's that demon fetus Jiangnan? Let her out! She was the one who cursed our Xiaole to death! Wuuuuu! I must get an explanation today!"
"Auntie, please don't be anxious. How could our Nan Nan curse anyone?"
"How could she not curse? At noon, she told my little Le not to play in the ditch, and then she drowned there that night! And you still say it has nothing to do with her? Jiangnan is such a wicked kid, who knows what kind of witchcraft she used!"
"Auntie, how can you believe a child's words?"
The woman naturally understood this, but she still put her hands on her waist and said in a shameless manner, "Anyway, my Xiaole was cursed to death by your child! You decide what to do!"
"How about this," Wu Feng said as he went to the kitchen and brought a plate of braised pork to the woman, continuing, "Eat this first. Consider it my apology to Nan Nan for her childish words."
The woman got the benefit and stopped pestering him. She finally warned him, "Tell that girl to control her mouth." She pinched a piece of meat with her hand and put it in her mouth. She ate it while smacking her lips and left happily.
Luo Shiyu waved his fist in front of the woman and cursed, "Eat, eat, eat! Why don't I eat you to death?! If my teacher really knows witchcraft, how can you survive after making such a fuss here?"
Jiangnan walked up to Wu Feng and explained, "It's not my fault."
Wu Feng squatted down and hugged Jiangnan, saying helplessly: "Mom naturally knows, but these people don't care about right or wrong at all, they only care about whether it is beneficial to them."
"Ah."
"So, promise Mom. No matter what you see in the future, don't tell anyone, okay?"
"What if I can save..."
Wu Feng interrupted her and roared, "No one will be grateful to you! No one will care! No one..."
As she spoke, her voice began to sob: "Just pretend you are an ordinary child, you can't see anything, you can't hear anything, and you don't say anything. Mom is begging you, please promise me that I will accept your kindness, okay?"
Jiangnan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Jiang Lin's urging voice came from the yard: "Wu Feng! If you don't serve the meal soon, do you want to starve an old man like me to death?"
"Here he comes! Here he comes!" Wu Feng let go of Jiangnan and went to serve the meal.
Jiangnan stood at the door and felt the cold wind for a while before going in. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Jiang Lin's reproachful voice.
"You were crying again just now, weren't you? You just cried all your money away."
"I know, Dad, let's eat first."
Jiang Lin looked at the vegetables on the table and asked, "Where's the meat? How will my eldest grandson grow without meat?"
"Meat...meat just now..." Wu Feng looked around and was a little at a loss.
Jiangnan stepped forward and said, "I ate it."
Jiang Lin took two steps at a time and angrily walked up to Jiang Nan. He slapped her in the face and cursed, "You're just a money-loser!"
Due to the excessive force, Jiangnan lost his balance and fell to the ground.
There was a sound of dripping blood.
Jiangnan covered his mouth and nose, completely unaware of where the blood was coming from.
Wu Feng knelt down and pleaded, "Dad! She's still just a child!"
Luo Shiyu was so angry that he clenched his fist and punched him, and his whole body passed through the illusion.
"Ah—asshole!"
"Why was I born?"
Luo Shiyu knelt opposite Jiangnan, unable to hold back the tears that wanted to flow out of his eyes. He cried and comforted him, "Teacher, don't think like that. You are the best person in the world!"
After Wu Feng wiped the blood off Jiangnan's body with a towel, she said to her, "Let's go eat."
Jiang Lin said, "I've already eaten secretly, what else is there to eat?"
Wu Feng was about to argue: "But..."
Jiangnan interrupted him: "I'm really not hungry anymore." After saying that, he picked up the schoolbag on the ground and went into the house to do his homework.
Wu Feng originally thought that she should eat less so that she could leave some for her children.
Who would have thought that they would eat everything clean?
It was past ten o'clock in the evening. Wu Feng was sure that no one would come at this time, so he secretly went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of clear soup noodles and added an egg.
The teacher only knows how to make clear soup noodles. Turns out she learned it from her mom. No wonder it always tastes like "my mom's."
Wu Feng brought hot noodles and gently woke up the sleeping Jiangnan.
"Nannan, Nannan! Wake up and eat something."
Jiangnan sat up, rubbed his eyes, and called out, "Mom."
"Hey~ Mom is here, come and eat."
"Where's Dad? Is he back?"
"Nope."
"Dad goes out early and comes back late every day. Can your body handle it?"
"If not, how can we support such a large family? You don't need to worry about these. Eat your noodles and go back to sleep."
"Ah."
Jiangnan finished his noodles, crawled back into bed, and felt drowsy.
With a sharp "creak", the door was opened.
"Dad is back."
Jiang Hai dragged his tired body back home, but did not see the steaming hot dinner. Instead, he saw Wu Feng glaring at him with resentment.
"Wife, I'm so hungry, where's my dinner?"
"Still want to have dinner? Ask your father who should have died a long time ago but didn't want to."
"Wu Feng, what are you talking about?"
"Now you're calling me by my first name? Who would have married you if they'd known you had such a father?"
"So? You want to fight, huh?"
"What do you mean I want to quarrel? Did you know that your father beat Nan Nan until she bled today? After I gave birth to Nan Nan, your father didn't even look at her when he heard it was a girl. He even named her Jiangnan. If I hadn't strongly opposed changing her name to Jiangnan, would she, a girl, have to live with this crappy name for the rest of her life? Just because of this incident, your father has a grudge against me. I haven't even finished my confinement, and he made me work in the fields! I had a Caesarian section! And you! You're busy all day long and don't care about anything at home!"
"I go out early and come back late every day, busy as hell, all for the sake of giving you a better life! I've already worked very hard! I just want a bowl of hot rice when I get home. Can you please stop arguing, honey?"
"Is it fun to escape, Jiang Hai?"
"How can this not be considered escaping?"
"He beat Nan Nan!"
"So what do you want me to do? Go beat up Dad? He's already very old and won't live for many more years. Please be more flexible."
"But I feel like if this continues, I'll die before him."
"Can you please stop being unreasonable?"
"I'm being unreasonable? The treatment we're experiencing now is all because of your inaction!"
"I'm stuck in the middle, what can I do?"
"What can you do? You always use this kind of question to avoid the issue. I'm really fed up with it!" Wu Feng roared and overturned the table in front of him.
The tea set on the table was broken into pieces.
"If you can get by, get by! If you can't, leave!"
"Leave! I've had enough of your family!"
