Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 325: Chapter 325: Just Lie There on the Ground

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao couldn’t possibly claim they hadn’t heard the commotion in the yard, could they?

Yet those two actually managed to stay inside the house, not even coming out to take a peek!

Were these three generations of their family trying to revolt?

Ho Laidi was a mix of anxious, angry, and frightened, and with the world turning dark before her eyes, she actually fainted.

Chiang Xiao curled her lips, tossed the bag of rice bran into the corner, and squatted down to untie the rope.

Only then did Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao emerge from the inner room with complex expressions, looking at the unconscious Ho Laidi. Ge Liutao’s lips moved slightly, and she couldn’t help but ask, ”Little, your Aunt, she’s... she’s all right, isn’t she?”

Chiang Xiao shook her head, ”She’s fine, just fainted from sheer frustration. She’ll wake up in a bit.”

Looking up at the two of them, she couldn’t help but laugh and, with a wink, asked, ”Grandpa and Grandma, when I was calling out like that, why didn’t you come out to have a look? Weren’t you afraid she might beat me to death?”

She hadn’t clarified to Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao how she was going to handle Ho Laidi, only telling them that once Old Chiang Family members returned and saw the yard wall, they were bound to be livid. She said she would deal with them when the time came, and asked Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao to stay out of it as much as possible.

But given the horrendous way she and Ho Laidi had been yelling, how could they not even come out to check?

Ge Liutao couldn’t help but glance at Chiang Songhai.

”We sneaked a peek and saw that it was you... you hitting your sister-in-law,” Chiang Songhai admitted hesitantly.

”So, once you saw that I wasn’t the one getting hit, you felt relieved?” Chiang Xiao widened her eyes, a hint of amusement in them.

She didn’t know what Grandpa felt when he saw her thrashing Ho Laidi, but seeing his current discomfort and concern made it clear that they were anything but calm, perhaps feeling as intense as a sudden mountain torrent.

Who knew how much they were suffering.

Chiang Songhai sighed deeply, his tone rather heavy as he spoke, ”Little, my thoughts were simple. I knew they would explode once they saw this yard wall. Your Aunt was bound to come at you, and you’d get hit. Grandpa is useless, unable to protect you. But since you can protect yourself, it’s better you hit her than the other way around.”

Indeed, Chiang Songhai was in great turmoil.

But his thoughts were truly simple.

Faced with two options, he could only choose for Chiang Xiao to not get hit.

How could he possibly bear to watch her being hit?

Of course, he also couldn’t quite bear to see his sister-in-law getting hit, which is why he stayed in the house, wasn’t it?

Hearing his words, Chiang Xiao felt like laughing and yet also felt somewhat saddened.

”Grandpa, have you ever thought that if you were tough enough, your sister-in-law wouldn’t dare lay a hand on me?”

Chiang Songhai’s lips moved, and he sighed again.

Ge Liutao anxiously asked, ”So what do we do now? We should hurry and carry your Aunt inside...”

”She wishes,” Chiang Xiao snorted coldly, looking disdainfully at Ho Laidi on the ground, ”She didn’t bathe for two nights in the hospital, all dirty and stinky, and she wants to sleep in our bed? Let her lie here for a while!”

Outside the door, Chiang Songtao had finished his cigarette. With no more noise from the yard, he stepped forward to knock on the door.

Prior to this, he had asked Chiang Baoguo to carry Chiang Baohe back home. After entering, Chiang Baoguo had wanted to wash up and have a drink of water, so he didn’t come out again.

In fact, they all felt that by now, Ho Laidi would be capable of handling the three of Chiang Songhai’s family by herself, so they didn’t take it seriously at all.
