Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 654: Chapter 655: Tortured to Collapse

You might say she is dumb, yet she is quite picky!

Apart from anything else, Chiang Xiao did remember what Chiang Yuequn looked like.

Speaking of which, among the Old Chiang Family, Chiang Yuequn was probably the most handsome. Decades later, one could definitely call him a fresh young hunk with very high facial value.

Moreover, setting aside his personality, at least he was good-looking, and he and Zou Xiaoling were about the same age. Besides, he was studying in the provincial capital, the hope of the Old Chiang Family, and likely to carve out a future in the city.

In choosing him over Chiang Baohe, Zou Xiaoling was certainly not being foolish!

Ho Laidi became even more infuriated upon hearing this, her anger as if billowing out from the top of her head.

”Pah! You bitch, why don’t you say you want to marry a leader? What face do you have! Our Yuequn is going to marry a city girl, what do you count as? With your cheap look, why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror, you still dream of marrying our Yuequn?”

”If I’m so bad, why do you keep pestering me?” Zou Xiaoling shouted back at her.

This was truly a knife in Ho Laidi’s chest.

Did she wish for this? Not at all!

If her son hadn’t been driving her to her death, why would she always be pestering such a bitch?

Lately, Chiang Baohe had indeed been driving everyone in the Old Chiang Family to the brink of collapse!

Day in, day out, he would loudly declare his desire to marry. Come nightfall, he would wail and say the nastiest things: how father pressed down on mother at night, the eldest brother on the eldest sister-in-law, leaving him a lonely soul, who couldn’t rest in peace even in death. Then he would yell and bang on the bed.

This tormented Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi to the point where even their thick skins were about to crack.

Chiang Baoguo and Song Xiyun were frowning every day.

Chiang Lidong and Chiang Caijiao were so disturbed by the noise that they could hardly sleep at night. Moreover, Chiang Baohe now ate a lot of meat at every meal. After a few injuries, he could no longer work in the fields, but his appetite was even greater than before, and he couldn’t do without a large quantity of meat.

Otherwise, he would throw the bowl and carry on his tantrum.

Otherwise, why would Ho Laidi have become so haggard?

The whole family now wished they could send Chiang Baohe away.

There’s a saying that there’s no filial son at a long bedside, but such tormenting also meant no loving mother!

So, under Chiang Songtao’s guidance, Ho Laidi tried even harder to pester Zou Xiaoling. After learning about Zou Xiaoling’s family situation, their delight was written all over their faces—they constantly put pressure on her, saying that marrying Chiang Baohe was the best way to escape the idiot family.

If she married him and slept with Chiang Baohe, would the idiot family still want her?

Pressure from both sides nearly drove Zou Xiaoling to a breakdown, and in a moment of despair, she took a knife and slit her wrist.

Fortunately, she was staying in the school staff dormitory, and other teachers discovered her and rushed her to the hospital in time. It just so happened that Chiang Baoguo had brought Chiang Baohe for a medical check-up and to change his dressings, and they bumped into her.

Chiang Baohe, for some unknown reason, seeing her in such a pitiful state, made a promise, which is what Chiang Xiao had heard Ho Laidi talking about earlier.

Unexpectedly, Zou Xiaoling had such an idea, asking Chiang Songhai to help her transfer to a school in the provincial city, and she even proactively mentioned marrying Chiang Yuequn.

If Chiang Xiao remembered correctly, Chiang Yuequn should be just shy of eighteen.

”Don’t you even think about it!” Ho Laidi held her youngest son as the hope for the whole family; in her heart, Chiang Yuequn was supposed to make it in the city. Getting his own place to live would be tough for him, so her plan was for Chiang Yuequn to find a city girl to marry, a girl with a house.
