Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Where Does the Sense of Entitlement Come From

Chiang Songtao slapped the door, and Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao couldn’t help but shudder again.

Chiang Xiao stood to the side, pursing her lips without speaking.

Seeing her like this, Chiang Songhai took a deep breath and walked toward the gate before saying to Chiang Xiao, "Little, go to your grandmother’s side."

Ho Laidi was always unreasonable and prone to making a scene, even resorting to violence at times, so Chiang Songhai felt it was inevitable for Chiang Xiao to end up using violence as well.

But what if it were Chiang Songtao? She couldn’t just start hitting someone without a second word, right?

At least, Chiang Songtao had never hit her, so if she were to strike first, it would really be inexcusable. If an argument ensued, probably the entire village wouldn’t take their side.

Therefore, Chiang Songhai felt he really should step in front of them now.

He couldn’t easily get physical with his sister-in-law, but he should at least be able to reason with his brother, right?

At Chiang Songhai’s words, Chiang Xiao obediently went to Ge Liutao’s side. Ge Liutao immediately wrapped an arm around her shoulder and whispered, "Little, don’t be scared."

"Grandma, I’m not scared."

Chiang Xiao watched as her grandfather opened the courtyard door.

Chiang Songtao entered with his hands behind his back. He had just come in and hadn’t seen Ho Laidi lying on the ground yet. He simply gave Chiang Songhai a displeased glance and said sternly, "Songhai, what you did was really low, like you’re stepping on my face! You’ve probably heard what your sister-in-law said by now. No matter what, this wall needs to be torn down! After we demolish it, we won’t waste the bricks. We have some land behind our house, which is also the homestead our father left us. I’m thinking we could use these bricks to build another bungalow. If we don’t have enough, you go buy more."

Chiang Songhai hadn’t expected him to insist on demolishing the wall and even had plans for using the bricks; he was taken aback.

"Brother, isn’t our house big enough as it is? Why do we need to build another one?"

Chiang Songtao glared at him and said, "You have enough, especially since you don’t have a son, and even have a spare room! My family still has Second. Yuequn’s current room is too small, and he’s a high-achiever studying in the provincial capital. Though he may develop his career there in the future, we must have a room ready for him! Building one more spacious room at the back and paving it with a few bags of cement, I think that will do."

Chiang Xiao almost burst out laughing.

What a joke?

The bricks from their courtyard wall wouldn’t even be enough to build a new room, let alone the fact that she wouldn’t want to take them down. Chiang Songtao spoke as if it were all very easy, saying they should buy more if there weren’t enough?

Demolish their wall and they should pay for the new bricks as well?

To build a house for Chiang Yuequn?

As if they were some kind of fools!

What nerve!

Ge Liutao’s arm around Chiang Xiao tightened involuntarily. Over the years, they had grown accustomed to being treated unfairly and taken advantage of.

But something as outrageous as this was rare!

Chiang Songhai’s expression turned grim, and his tone unavoidably grew heavy, "Big brother, I paid money for these bricks and cement, and I asked for help, owing favors to people. Now you want me to tear it all down after doing a good job of it?"

Mainly, he had finally made up his mind and built the wall, and if it were to be torn down in less than a day, what would the neighbors think of him? They would laugh him to scorn.

And what would those who helped build the wall think?

Chiang Songtao snorted and said harshly, "Knowing that it needed to be demolished eventually, why did you even build it? Absurd!"
