304 I’ll Call You Mother for the Last Time
Jiang Shan had been standing outside the door for a long time. When he heard the two children’s shrill cries, his eyes turned red for a moment, and he looked at Yang Fen with an ashen face.
Yang Fen was shocked at first, and then she became furious. “You bastard, you’re finally willing to come back? I told you to speak up for Jiang Si in front of Jiang Xi. Did you do that? I asked you to ask your sister to give Jiang Si an official position, but you dawned and refused to ask her, you brainless thing!” Yang Fen stood up immediately, and the women beside her felt a little awkward.
“Say something nice? For someone like Jiang Si, letting him become an official would only bring disaster to the people! To be able to do such a vicious thing and have no feelings for his own children, the world will be finished if such a person becomes an official!” Jiang Shan’s face was cold.
Yang Fen’s face also sank. The hearts of the women around them thumped when they heard Jiang Shan’s words. It was said that Jiang Si’s two children were actually the children of Yang Fen’s lost daughter, but now Jiang Shan said that the children were Jiang Si’s…
“Sister Yang Fen, it’s getting late, so we’ll go back first. I heard that the court examination results will be out soon. We’ll come to congratulate you when your Jiang Si is the top scorer.” The women looked at each other and left in a hurry, afraid that they would be implicated if they knew too many secrets.
Yang Fen did not stop them. After the women left, she pointed at Jiang Shan’s nose and scolded, “You brainless thing! What do you know?! Jiang Si is different from you. You don’t have the life of an official, but Jiang Si was born to be an official!” Yang Fen’s face was full of frustration. She was annoyed at the sight of Jiang Shan. This child had been going against her since he was young, and there were many things that she did not like.
Jiang Shan was so angry that he laughed. As he laughed, his eyes became teary. “Mother, I’ll call you mother one last time. I didn’t have the brain to become an official. Do you not remember why? Although you don’t remember, I still remember it clearly! When you didn’t want Jiang Xi back then, I was the one who warmed her up little by little and brought her back to life. At that time, I didn’t have a fever at all. Even if I used my body to warm my sister for an entire night, I didn’t have a fever. However, why did I have a fever later? Mother, don’t you remember? The next day was the new year. Uncle Yang Shaoqun and his family came to borrow money for food, and you wanted to give everything in the house to them. Father didn’t want uncle to enter the house, so he told me to guard the door while father went out to continue looking for sister.”
Yang Fen’s expression changed, “You… How do you remember?”
“Mother, have you forgotten what happened after that? You threatened me and made me open the door. After I opened the door, Yang Kun came in and beat me up. Not only did you not stop him, but you also gave him a big red packet. At that time, you didn’t even want to buy a candy for me and my sister. I was angry and wanted to snatch the red packet back, but you beat me up again. Then, Yang Kun dragged me out and threw me into the snow. You ate with them in the house. You only came to find me after they had eaten and left…” Jiang Shan’s honest face showed a bit of heartache.
Yang Fen’s body trembled. Jiang Shan actually remembered these things?
“Yang Kun has been fed by you all these years, and you kept all the good food for him. After he dragged me out, he beat me in the snow and even covered me with snow. When you found me, I had a high fever and couldn’t feel anything. You even lied to father, saying that I had a high fever because I saved my sister. Mother, you lied to father for so many years, but don’t you feel guilty? Don’t you feel any guilt towards me?” Jiang Shan’s eyes were red.
Yang Fen could not stop trembling. At that time, Jiang Shan’s mind was already muddled, so she thought that these things would be over just like that.
“I… I didn’t know that Yang Kun was so cruel. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. You were very smart at that time. No matter what I said, you had your own ideas. I couldn’t win against you, and your father didn’t let me hit you. I didn’t expect it to be like this… Your father has high hopes for you, so I don’t dare to say anything…” Yang Fen’s body trembled. She was afraid every day, afraid that things would be exposed. Now, Jiang Shan remembered…
Jiang Shan’s face was cold, and he looked at Yang Fen without any emotion. He did not know why, but his mind, which had been muddled for so many years, suddenly began to clear up on the day Jiang Xi was pregnant. In the past, he had always felt that his mind was foggy and there were many things that he could not understand. However, ever since Jiang Xi was diagnosed to be pregnant, he felt a sense of joy in his heart and his mind began to clear up.
