Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law

Chapter 34: Chapter 034 Unpleasant Words_1

“Dad believes in you.” Jiang Dechun said cheerfully, “Wait until you get into college, let’s see what your uncle’s family and second uncle’s family have to say!”

“Hahaha…” Jiang Nanfei chuckled, realising her father had a surprisingly cute side she’d never noticed before.

While they were talking, they cleaned up all the beans. Nan Fei then moved Zhang Fengmei outside for some fresh air.

“We can get a recheck at the hospital tomorrow. Does Mom want me to go with you?”

“No need for you to go. I don’t trust you taking care of your mom. Now that I’m back, I’ll take her to the provincial city by car tomorrow morning,” Jiang Dechun, who was cleaning the tofu machine, responded.

Thinking for a moment, Nan Fei nodded, “Alright!” Although she could definitely take care of it herself, in the eyes of her parents, she was still an adolescent who had never seen the world or been far from home.

...

Best not to worry them! With time on her hands tomorrow, she had plans to go to the county town to settle scores with Tian Guiyue!

In her past life, she had been powerless against slander,

Now, she was determined to make Tian Guiyue pay for it.

During dinner, Jiang Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang ran back home panting. Standing in the main room, both of them looked upset. Jiang Yang’s clothes and hair were all messed up, and his pale face looked wooden.

“What happened?” Nan Fei was startled and hurriedly went to see what was wrong with Jiang Yang, “Did someone bully my little brother again?”

Jiang Zhuanzhuan watched as she anxiously checked up on Jiang Yang, who was looking listless and sullen.

“Nan Fei,” Jiang Yang called out.

“I’m here, I’m here!”

“Sis, we were playing at Qi Qin’s house just now, and Auntie started yelling at my brother again. She said my brother was silly because he doesn’t call her or show her any respect.”

Jiang Nanfei clenched her teeth in anger at these so-called relatives whom she despised. All they knew was to bully the weak and laugh at the misfortunes of others. Noticing the desire for power from her past life creeping up again, she pursed her lips.

Wealth, fame, status, power… these things were indeed a source of both love and hate. She didn’t care for these things, but everyone around her forced her to strive for them and to desire them.

Without these, she would be trampled on, oppressed, and looked upon with contempt. She would be powerless despite wanting to protect her loved ones.

“Don’t be sad, little brother, if you don’t want to call her, don’t.” After comforting Jiang Yang for a while and seeing his spirit lift, she finally felt relieved.

Dinner was mung bean porridge, served with salted vegetables that Zhang Fengmei had marinated earlier – a common meal for rural folk. There was some leftover bone soup for Zhang Fengmei, but she didn’t want any of it. Instead, she gave it to Zhuanzhuan and Jiang Yang in the end.

“Nan Fei, you’re so thin. Have some too!”

“I don’t want any.” She genuinely didn’t want any. She had eaten plenty of good food in her previous life.

Seeing her seriousness, they didn’t insist anymore.

“Zhuanzhuan, have you finished your holiday homework?”

“I’ve already finished!” Jiang Zhuanzhuan had a habit of preferring to work hard first before enjoying herself. Her New Year’s money could be kept for ages without being spent. Any homework assigned over the holidays would be finished swiftly.

She would not go out to play unless her homework was done! Nan Fei was the exact opposite. She would normally finish her holiday homework only in the last ten-odd days.

“Sis.” Zhuanzhuan bit her chopsticks, hesitatingly looking at her. “I was playing outside just now and I… I heard them all badmouthing you behind your back.”

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, “They said some really nasty things.”
