Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s
Chapter 392: Jealousy

Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Jealousy

Ho Laidi returned home and for three consecutive days felt that one of her hands lacked strength, leaving all the household chores to Song Xiyun.

Song Xiyun was naturally lazy, so the result was that Chiang Caijiao did most of the work.

And every time she went to deliver food and water to Chiang Baohe, it was the thing she feared the most.

Almost every time she would be scolded and often hit as well.

She did as Chiang Xiao had said before, trying to stay as far away from Chiang Baohe as possible, but she was still hit just the same.

Now Chiang Baohe’s temper was becoming more and more irritable. Even if he couldn’t reach her, he would still grab something nearby and throw it at her.

Sometimes it was a bowl, sometimes a pillow. The pillow and the bowl weren’t so bad, but last night, he actually smashed her with a chamber pot!

Because Chiang Baohe’s leg was now useless, he couldn’t go out to the toilet, so Chiang Songtao had prepared a chamber pot for him. It was Chiang Caijiao’s job to empty it, and yesterday she simply wrinkled her brow from the stench as she went to pick it up, which Chiang Baohe saw. He immediately started cursing loudly, saying even she, a worthless little thing, dared to look down on him. She obviously had a pained expression on her face while doing such a simple task for him, surely she must be cursing him in her heart.

Maybe his leg wouldn’t heal and he wouldn’t be able to find a wife all because she had been cursing him. So, he snatched the chamber pot and hurled it at her.

The dirty yellow liquid drenched Chiang Caijiao.

Chiang Baohe was furious. The urine he produced was unbearably foul-smelling, and Chiang Caijiao, covered in it, instantly vomited, which led to another round of vicious scolding from Chiang Baohe.

At night, she cried in bed until her eyes were swollen.

Chiang Caijiao’s hatred for this family grew more intense, for every single person in it, and even for Chiang Xiao.

Why was Chiang Xiao able to escape from the Old Chiang Family?

Chiang Xiao had changed so much. Although she used to be only slightly taller than her, now she was clearly much taller, her skin was whiter, her face fuller, and she was even more beautiful, also boasting several new dresses!

Previously, Chiang Caijiao always felt pity for Chiang Xiao, thinking that her maternal grandparents couldn’t protect her anyway, so she felt some sympathy for Chiang Xiao. But now all she had left was jealousy!

"Caijiao, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and take the food to your Second Uncle. Don’t you hear him cursing?" Song Xiyun had finished preparing the meal and dished out Chiang Baohe’s portion. A metal bowl was filled with four liang of rice, topped with a heap of vegetables and some scrambled eggs.

She glanced at it and couldn’t help but curl her lip.

What a glutton! Just like a pig! Now that he can’t work anymore, he still eats so much every day. If you give him any less, he’d cause a commotion in the house!

When could they get him to live separately?

Song Xiyun now had her own plans in mind.

Chiang Baohe was obviously done for. Previously, Chiang Songtao had asked Chiang Baoguo to buy a pair of crutches for him from the town, and Baoguo had been gone for three days without returning yet.

Even if Chiang Baohe obtained crutches and was able to get out of the house, he would still be useless, doing nothing. When her in-laws got older and died, would they really have to support such a burden?

Song Xiyun was completely unwilling to do this.

Chiang Caijiao’s eyes were still a bit red and swollen. She bit her lower lip and asked timidly, "Mother, could you bring him the food today? Or maybe Dongdong could go? Last night Second Uncle hit me, and I’m afraid if he sees me today, he’ll hit me again."

"You just put the food down and leave, how could he hit you?" Song Xiyun gave her a stern look. "Caijiao, Dongdong is your brother. How can your heart be this wicked? Do you want him to get hit by your Second Uncle?"
