Chapter 182: I’ll Pretend Too.

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Lan was having a great time with the fight.

She got rid of all her frustrations caused by Jiang Gui’s wife since coming to the Jiang family.

Jiang Gui’s wife and Jiang Hua’s wife were getting hit and were running around in a panic.

Seeing her third daughter-in-law act so wildly, the old madam Jiang mumbled, “She’s crazy, she’s gone crazy,” as she tried to step in and help.

Jiang Chuan, who was close by, saw what his mom wanted to do and quickly held her back. “Mom, you must be tired from standing. Come, sit with me and rest.”

“No, they…”

“Mom, relax. This is their issue. You can’t fix it. People will talk if you try to help. Let them sort it out.”

Jiang Chuan didn’t even let his mom speak and held her tight, scared that she might run towards the fight.

At this moment, the blind woman Li Xia chimed in, “Oh, old madam Jiang, you should listen to your third son. Take a break. This fight is already a mess. Your words won’t change anything. Brothers and sisters fight too, let alone sisters-in-law.”

The Old Madam Jiang ignored them and tried to move forward again, but Jiang Chuan stopped her, which made her angry.

“Clear the way, clear the way!”

Someone ran to Eldest Jiang house and called for his daughter, Jiang Hong.

Jiang Hong wasn’t a fool, she quickly went home and called her dad and Uncle Jiang Hua.

When Jiang Gui heard that his wife had been beaten up, he immediately went to call the village chief to come with him.

The crowd around the house moved aside for them.

Once Zhou Lan and her two daughters were almost done venting their anger. They stopped fighting and even threw the weapons they had picked up to the side.

Seeing their husbands, Jiang Gui’s wife and Jiang Hua’s wife felt brave again. They sat on the ground and started crying loudly, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.

Jiang Gui, who had been insulted by Jiang Chuan’s family, pointed at them and shouted, “How can you just hit people? Have we done something wrong to you? Why are you always mean to us!”

“How can you say that? When did we start hitting people for no reason? Do you even know what happened before you came? Why don’t you talk about your wife’s plan to take my house and insult my wife?!”

Jiang Chuan didn’t let Jiang Gui talk nonsense. He had warned him during an earlier incident, but he still dared to come today.

“You…”

Jiang Gui became quiet as he understood that arguing more would just prove he was wrong. Instead, he turned to his wife, “I’ve told you so many times not to bother the third family. Why didn’t you listen?”

His wife complained, “You’re still blaming me even after I’ve been beaten.” She rolled up her sleeves to show her badly injured arms. “See, 1 have never been hurt this much since I joined this family.”

On her fair arm, there were shocking bloody marks, causing Jiang Gui to secretly curse when he saw the injuries.

Jiang Gui couldn’t stand up to Jiang Chuan or Zhou Lan, so he turned to Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu.

Looking at Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu, who were quietly standing there, Jiang Gui shouted angrily, “Look what you’ve done to your aunt. Jiang Xia, you’re not a kid anymore. Don’t you know you should respect older people and be kind to younger ones? Didn’t your parents teach you this?”

Jiang Xia looked at her eldest aunt tearful face. She knew her aunt was pretending it. Since she could pretend, Jiang Xia could too.

Since Boss Jiang’s wife knew how to pretend, she would pretend too.

Jiang Xia sobbed and said aggrievedly, “Uncle, what are you talking about? Auntie scolds me every day, calling me a loss-maker, talking about selling me off. Do you pretend not to hear all that? And my eldest sister, she’s nowhere to be found now. Are you acting as if you don’t know about all these?”

Jiang Gu immediately burst into tears at the mention of Eldest Sister. She looked as pitiful as she could be.

Jiang Fu and the village chief watched everything from far away. The village chief was talking about what happened with Xiao Wu. When he found out that Jiang Gui’s wife and Jiang Hua’s wife got beaten for trying to take the house, he felt relieved.

These people had invaded their property. If Jiang Chuan’s family hadn’t fought back, the village chief would have been worried that Jiang Chuan had gone back to being a coward..
