The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension

"What? Xiaoxiao, you want to go to the countryside in place of my brother?"

Fang Xiaohui looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao with exaggerated sympathy in her voice.

She just wanted Jiang Xiaoxiao to realize that although the Jiang family seemed honest, their actions were far from it.

They were on par with the Fang family.

No wonder her parents treated Jiang Xiaoxiao so well.

From this perspective, she had some admiration for her biological parents.

Look how thorough they were in their actions, coaxing Jiang Xiaoxiao into wanting to stay with the Jiang family desperately, willing to go to the countryside for their son.

How much thought must have gone into this.

Compared to her own parents from the Fang family, it was like night and day; this was true brilliance!

She needed to awaken Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Don’t take your good intentions for a joke.

Jiang Laocheng was so angry at his sister-in-law’s words his nose was about to be crooked.

Are those even words a human would say?

They never had any such filthy intentions, and at the beginning, they were against Xiaoxiao going to the countryside.

They had pampered their daughter for her whole life; how could they send her to the countryside to play in the mud and farm?

The child couldn’t even do such work.

"Sister-in-law, mind your mouth. What do you mean by going to the countryside on behalf of my brother? Is it any different no matter whom she goes for? Your words make it sound like we are terrible people. We, as a couple, are not that kind of people."

It was the first time Jiang Laocheng was so blunt with his brother and sister-in-law.

Feng Guihua looked at Jiang Laocheng with a strange expression.

"Second brother, I’m not saying you’re being unfair; since you intend for Jiang Xiaoxiao to go to the countryside in place of your son, if you’re daring enough to do it, why can’t you let others talk about it? This is laid out in front of everyone, am I wrong in stating this?

Xiaoxiao, think about it for yourself. No matter who you go to the countryside for, you’re still going. Why not go for your own brother? Your biological parents are cadres, your grandparents are professors. Why insist on staying with a family of poor workers?

Moreover, if you go in place of your brother, they won’t forget your kindness and in return may arrange well for you, right? Think about whether what your aunt is saying makes sense!"

Feng Guihua wasn’t bothered by the petty things; what did it matter to her? As long as she could save her own son, she would say anything.

Fang Xiaohui looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao smugly.

Now you should know who really has your best interest at heart.

The Jiang people are not kind souls.

As she said, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Ah, so this was the hidden agenda.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up, and everyone looked at her.

Fang Xiaohui was secretly pleased, speak up, go on, say what’s in your heart.

You’re still too naive, young lady.

Wake up!

Go back to your biological parents so that all our problems are solved.

I wouldn’t have to suffer here bitterly any longer either.

"Auntie, you’re wrong about that. My parents have no intention of making me go to the countryside in place of my brother.

This whole thing was my decision from the start, I wanted to go, and when my third brother was first in line to go, I went on a hunger strike until my parents agreed. If you don’t believe me, you can check with the hospital; I was taken there because of my hunger strike.

My parents raised me for eighteen years, this is how I should repay them. Even if not for that, I didn’t want my third brother to leave. He’s the only son in the family, and he can take care of our parents.

My parents owe me nothing; it’s I who owe them, for their care and love over the years, for being a filial daughter."

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her parents; these were her true feelings. In a past life, she owed them the duty of being a daughter.

From an ungrateful child to a daughter who appreciates kindness, she had gone through a lifetime of trials.

Witnessing her parents’ sacrifice and dedication, only for it to end as it did.

Good deeds don’t always meet good ends.

It was her ignorance that caused it.

In this life, she wouldn’t allow herself to let her parents despair again.

Or let the people who truly cared for her pass away in such misery.

Feng Guihua was stunned by Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words.

This child must be a fool.

Not acknowledging high-ranking cadre parents.

Insisting on taking poor workers as her true parents, crying and shouting about repaying kindness.

She must have lost her mind.

Fan Xiuying and Jiang Laocheng’s eyes were filled with tears.

Jiang Lei gently patted his sister’s shoulder.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re my sister for life, my real sister."

He could rebut on behalf of their parents, but Jiang Xiaoxiao’s words were more credible and impactful.

Whoever else argued would be suspected of ulterior motives.

But with Jiang Xiaoxiao speaking, everyone would believe it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao truly lived up to the years of love and pampering from her parents, without looking at them with doubt as others might.

Only those within their circle understood this trust.

"Third brother, if you say that, I’m not pleased. I’m your sister, and for a brother and sister to have to say this is too distant. We are family, a family for life."

Old Mrs. Jiang suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

She certainly hadn’t expected to witness something like this in her lifetime.

In theory, this scene should be heartwarming enough to bring them to tears. If her own grandson wasn’t still at the police station, she would have been very moved, proud of her son’s good fortune.

But now Jiang Xiaoxiao was being stubborn.

What would happen to her grandson?

Jiang Zhiyong was still inside.

Feng Guihua became anxious, "Xiaoxiao, your parents are high-ranking cadres, have you lost your mind? Leaving your own brother unattended, to care for a person who means nothing to you, how... how am I supposed to describe you!"

Jiang Laocheng glanced at his brother but refrained from criticizing further.

He, as a man, couldn’t speak like that.

"Auntie, what I do has nothing to do with you. Jiang Zhiyong should properly accept reform through labor. I think it’s good; if you can’t manage him, leave it to the government. Better that than causing trouble for everyone."

She wouldn’t return.

Trying to make her bow to the Fang family was impossible.

Feng Guihua was furious. She might be able to criticize her own son,

but she wouldn’t let anyone else, especially Jiang Xiaoxiao, criticize him.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to speak about my son? Our Zhiyong is fine! He was just led astray by the wrong company; he’s a good kid."

Feng Guihua completely forgot that Jiang Xiaoxiao was the key to saving her son.

She pointed at her nose and cursed.

"Yes! I’m nobody; I’m just a person. You don’t even know what your Jiang Zhiyong has done. I’ll tell you the truth, go home and check your savings book! Jiang Zhiyong isn’t as honest as you think. He even admitted being a lookout, right? You should listen to what the police have to say! Don’t believe random gossip. The police won’t wrong anyone."

Jiang Xiaoxiao dropped the hammer.

There was nothing unfair about Jiang Zhiyong’s situation.

Every time stolen goods were sold, he brokered the transactions.

He did many terrible things.

It’s better he gets properly reformed than causing harm at home.

In the previous life, this hadn’t happened; this was the result of the Fang family’s intervention.
