Chapter 58: The Jiang family’s embarrassment

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Jiang family had lost their reputation tonight. They were so embarrassed that they couldn’t raise their heads.

In this era, stealing things was an extremely serious matter. Moreover, what their family stole was the things of their son who had been separated from the family. It was really despicable.

The Jiang family did not expect things to blow up so badly. Jiang Fu still treated his youngest son as if he was the old Jiang Chuan. He thought Jiang Chuan would swallow everything and not share it with others even if he was taken advantage of.

Jiang Fu thought that even if his son knew it was them that stole the items, Jiang Chuan would just come to their house to beg for the items and Jiang Fu would be able to use filial piety as an excuse to suppress him.

No one had expected Jiang Chuan’s daughter, Jiang Xia, to start shouting all over the village that there was a thief.

If it was just the village chief that knew about it, things would be easier. After all, they were all members of the Jiang family. The village chief would probably let them handle it themselves. However, after what Jiang Xia did, it was no longer a small matter.

Jiang Fu clutched his chest and wanted to pretend to faint, but Jiang Xia stopped him.

…..

“Grandpa, it’s useless for you to pretend to be unconscious. When the doctor comes, not only will he collect the consultation fee, but he will also say that you’re fine. You still have to attend tomorrow’s critique session.”

Jiang Fu only wanted to pretend but Jiang Xia’s words reminded him of the medical fee and he held back.

Jiang Xia looked at her ‘grandfather’ with ridicule. Only expect to be treated nicely if you treat others with kindness.

Seeing that the thief had been caught, everyone was relieved, and the discussion gradually spread throughout the whole village.

The woman who had quarreled with Jiang Gui’s wife previously smiled and said, “The Jiang family is really shameless. They still had the nerve to mention kindness previously. What kind of kind person would steal their family’s stuff?

I think Jiang Chuan made the right move to split up with the family!”

“That’s right! This is the first time I’ve seen such a family. They’ve already split up, but they are so greedy that they steal things from their family.” The woman beside her agreed.

A man heard their conversation and spat at the Jiang family, “I think we should send these people to the town police station and let them stay there for a few days.”

The man’s words attracted the agreement of the other men. They all felt that the village chief’s punishment was too light.

The women could understand the village chief’s actions. After all, the people who stole the things were Jiang Chuan’s parents. They would have to return to the village in the future. After all, Jiang Gui would not dare provoke too much mess as his daughter need to marry out of the family.”

“Everyone knows it was Jiang Gui that stole the items. But what if it was all instructed by his parents?” a woman asked.

“It’s possible. But if that really was the case, what kind of parents are they? They’re really shameless!” The woman beside her continued.

A man continued, “I don’t think the second brother, Jiang Hua, knows about it. I’m afraid he’s been implicated by his family. Now that Jiang Chuan has left, I heard that his family wasn’t doing too well.”

The villagers’ discussions reached the ears of the Jiang family. Jiang Hua hurriedly went up to his father to help him as he was staggering and could not stand properly on his own feet. However, Jiang Fu pushed his son away.

“They were criticizing your parents and your brother so much, but you didn’t even say anything. Aren’t you usually the one who is always scheming something?”

Jiang Hua seemed to have eaten a bitter pill, he couldn’t say anything. He didn’t know anything about the situation, yet his father used him to vent his anger.

While the Jiang family was quarreling, Jiang Chuan’s family was in a good mood. Not only did they get back their things, but they also embarrassed the Jiang family.

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan chatted as they took their things. Jiang Xia held Jiang Gu’s hand and walked behind them.”Did you see what happened today? This is called karma. We have to be kind people in the future so we don’t experience the same thing.”

“Yes!” Jiang Gu nodded, “We have to be kind. We can’t steal like Grandpa and Grandma.”

Jiang Gu’s voice was not soft, causing the people who heard it to laugh out loud.

Just as Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were about to step out of the Jiang family house, something unexpected happened.

Old Madam Jiang suddenly had the courage to bring a fire stick from the kitchen and was moving towards them..
