After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Her voice silenced everyone else's voices. Everyone shut up and focused their eyes on her.

Old Mrs. Jiang had a fierce look on her face. She looked at Jiang Wan not as if she were her granddaughter, but as if she were an enemy.

"You stupid girl, I can't cure you, but I can cure your father! Your father is my son, he has to do whatever I tell him to do!"

Old Mrs. Jiang was very proud.

She learned her lesson this time. She knew that Jiang Wan was not a good person and was difficult to control, so she simply took advantage of Jiang Weiran, the weak one.

Jiang Wan curled her lips and smiled, her expression cold.

"Grandma, you're not afraid of hurting your back when you say that. It's true that you are my father's mother, but have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother?"

She said, "Before we separated, what kind of life did we live in the Jiang family? We didn't have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear, and we had to serve the Jiang family. If my father is your son, then the eldest and second uncles are not? Why can they have enough food to eat and clothes to wear, and don't have to do any housework? But we, the fourth branch, have to work like slaves for the Jiang family?"

Old Mrs. Jiang was stubborn: "Your eldest uncle is capable of making money! Your second uncle's family gave birth to a son, and continued the incense of my Jiang family! What did your fourth branch do? Your mother fled from famine in another place, and she has no family members. It's her blessing that my family is willing to marry her! In the end, your mother was also unlucky. After marrying into the Jiang family for decades, she only gave birth to a daughter! It's unlucky and useless that she didn't give birth to a son for the Jiang family!"

"You four rooms have done nothing but nothing, so you have a problem with doing more work?"

Old Mrs. Jiang became more and more excited as she spoke, and even dragged Jiang Wan's dead mother out to talk about her.

Jiang Wan could tolerate Old Lady Jiang scolding her, but she would not allow her to scold the original owner's mother.

The original owner's mother was gentle and virtuous. She had been married into the Jiang family for more than ten years. She worked hard, supplemented her own money, took care of her parents-in-law, uncles and nephews, and served her sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law. She was considered the most filial daughter-in-law in Lushui Village.

But according to Old Lady Jiang, the original owner's mother would be hated and cursed by Old Lady Jiang just because she didn't give birth to a son. How could Jiang Wan not be angry?

Even if she was a bystander, she would get angry, not to mention that the original owner's mother is now equivalent to her mother.

"Grandma, we were talking about my eldest uncle and second uncle, why are you talking about my mother? My mother is gone, she treated me well when she was alive. After she passed away, you cursed her in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid that my mother will come to find you in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Wan had a sullen face, a cold tone, and chilly eyes, which made Old Lady Jiang feel nervous.

Other villagers who were watching couldn't stand it and said a few words.

"Mrs. Jiang, your fourth daughter-in-law is a filial and polite person. Now that she's gone, why are you still saying bad things about her?"

"That's right, Old Lady Jiang is really vicious. The fourth daughter-in-law of Jiang Lao Si was a very nice person. She was busy taking care of the Jiang family every day. Now that she's gone, people still talk about her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

Old Mrs. Jiang choked and shouted at the crowd, "Go away! What are you talking about? She's my daughter-in-law! I can say whatever I want! It's none of your business!"

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't pretend to be weak and pitiful for long before she couldn't help but show her true colors.

The villagers who had just sympathized with her sneered, "This old lady Jiang is just a jerk! It's useless to reason with her!"

"What Jiang Sanya said is correct. They are all sons. Why can't we treat them equally? Is it because Jiang Laosi's wife didn't give birth to a son? This reason is too absurd..."

Jiang Wan ignored their comments and stared at Old Lady Jiang, warning her, "Grandma, the dead are the greatest. If you mention my mother again, don't blame me for being violent."

Old Mrs. Jiang's heart trembled, and she thought of the two times Jiang Wan had made a big fuss in the Jiang family. Due to Jiang Wan's ferocity, she swallowed down the dissatisfaction in her throat.

But she was unwilling to give up, and yelled at Jiang Weiran: "Old Four! Are you a dead man? Look, your girl is almost riding on your mother's head!"

Jiang Weiran's face was also tinged with anger.

He looked at Old Lady Jiang with his gentle eyes and asked, "Mother, Rong'er has always been filial and respectful to you, and has never overstepped the boundaries. Why do you look down on her so much? And you even call her unlucky?"

Facing her son's questioning, Mrs. Jiang had no guilt or thought of explaining. She just glared at him and yelled, "You unfilial son! How can you talk to your mother like that? And you're asking about me?"

Jiang Weiran's eyes showed disappointment, and he said bitterly, "Rong'er has devoted herself to the Jiang family without any complaints. When the family was in financial difficulty, she did not hesitate to use her own money to support them. She also worked herself to death and got sick, but she was reluctant to go to the doctor. She only cared about the Jiang family. Why can't mother see all of Rong'er's efforts?"

Old Lady Jiang snorted coldly, "It was all she had to do, and no one forced her! What, Fourth Brother, the man has been dead for several years, and now you are settling old scores with me? You want to go against the old woman for your wife? Do you want to be known as an unfilial person? Or do you want to go to jail?"

Old Lady Jiang's series of questions made Jiang Weiran's mind go blank and he felt dizzy.

He originally had respect and love for Old Lady Jiang, after all, she was his biological mother.

But Mrs. Jiang could actually say such cruel words as sending him to jail, which shows that she has no warmth towards him at all.

The fragile and shaky mother-son relationship in Jiang Weiran's heart was slowly dissipating.

Jiang Wan's brows furrowed even more.

She didn't say anything to interrupt Old Lady Jiang because she wanted Jiang Weiran to see her selfish and vicious nature.

Now her goal has obviously been achieved.

Jiang Wan brushed away Old Lady Jiang's hand, pulled Jiang Weiran behind him, and whispered to him, "Dad, don't be too sad. I know you have seen grandma's true face for a long time, but you just didn't want to believe it. Now that she has said it herself, even if you two fall out in the future, you don't have to worry about that thin blood relationship anymore."

Jiang Weiran was stunned, staring straight at Jiang Wan, as if he was looking at someone through her.

After a while, he actually shed tears.

"...Wan'er, you are right. Dad has been deceiving himself. I am Mom's son. Why don't I please her? If she doesn't like me, why does she keep saying that I am her son?"

Jiang Weiran had never been favored by Old Lady Jiang since he was a child. Among the four sons of the Jiang family, he was often the neglected one.

He has a soft personality and is not as steady as Jiang Lao Da, not as sweet-mouthed and likable as Jiang Lao Er, and not as smart as Jiang Lao Wu.

He is the most mediocre one.

Jiang Weiran has always believed that only by trying to be obedient and work hard can he gain the attention and love of Old Lady Jiang.

So he has been working quietly behind his brothers, never seeking credit and just doing practical things.

He wanted to study and take the imperial examination in order to gain the favor of Old Lady Jiang. If he passed the examination in the future, he would not only bring honor to his family, but also gain the praise of Old Lady Jiang.

Unfortunately, he is dull by nature and has made no achievements after more than ten years of study. It is sad and lamentable.

Thinking about the past, Jiang Weiran suddenly felt that all his efforts seemed like a joke.

Old Mrs. Jiang didn't like him. No matter how obedient and sensible he was, or how flattering he was, she would not look at him differently.

If that's the case, why should he be the obedient and filial son who allows himself to be manipulated by Old Lady Jiang?
