Chapter 144 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked
Shen Yun knew that the old couple of the Jiang family loved Jiang Ningxue more than their other sons, but she had no impression of what Jiang Kuikui said.
Shen Yun carefully searched her mind for memories of Jiang Yibai and Jiang Ningxue's childhood. Before she could gain any results, Jiang Kuikui's inner voice told her the answer.
[The two old men and women have been instilling in the brothers the idea of loving Jiang Ningxue and cherishing her like the bright moon in the sky. No matter what good things they have, they should give them to Jiang Ningxue first, and only those that Jiang Ningxue doesn't want will be given to them. I won't talk about the more outrageous things.]
[However, when Jiang Ningxue was born, her eldest, second, and third brothers were already grown up, all had their own ideas, and were in their rebellious period. Although they were very happy to have a younger sister, they still kept their own attitude towards what the old couple said.]
[But the fourth and fifth brothers suffered. They were still young and loved their younger sister very much. In addition, the old man and his wife brainwashed them and they began to dote on Jiang Ningxue without thinking.]
[However, the fifth brother later regained his senses thanks to their excessive behavior.]
Shen Yun looked at Jiang Yibai curiously, and Jiang Yibai turned his head away proudly.
[It all started when my fifth brother liked a game console and asked my mom to buy it for him. However, his grades were at the bottom of the class at the time, so my mom didn’t want to buy it for him because she was afraid it would affect his studies. But she promised him that she would buy it for him if he could get first place in the class.]
[That game console was a limited edition. In order to get his beloved game console as soon as possible, the fifth brother began to study day and night like crazy. At the end of the semester, he finally succeeded in getting the first place in the class and successfully got the game console in front of his mother's astonished eyes.]
When Shen Yun heard this, she also remembered this incident. At that time, Jiang Yibai was studying like a madman, so much so that she thought her son had taken the wrong medicine.
In fact, when she saw him studying so hard, she had already decided in her heart that even if Jiang Yibai didn't get first place in the exam, she would buy him a game console.
[However, the unlucky Fifth Brother was seen by Zhang Hongfang while he was enjoying his favorite game console. Seeing how much he loved it, Zhang Hongfang snatched it away and gave it to Jiang Ningxue. Jiang Ningxue didn't like the game console, and even though she knew it was Fifth Brother's treasure, she still messed with it and threw it around. Finally, Zhang Hongfang stepped on it and threw it into the trash can.]
[After the fifth brother found out, he cried and screamed. Zhang Hongfang couldn't stand listening to him and beat him up. Unfortunately, Mommy wasn't at home that day, so Zhang Hongfang threatened the fifth brother not to tell Mommy.]
Jiang Yibai didn't look at Shen Yun and Jiang Kuikui. He looked up at the window, but his clenched teeth betrayed his emotions.
Shen Yun had no idea what happened next.
She was also wondering why her son had never played the game console he had finally gotten.
She thought the child lost interest after getting it.
[From then on, the fifth brother just superficially agreed with Jiang Ningxue and the two old men and women, but he didn't care about them at all in his heart. When he reached his rebellious adolescence, he often angered the old men and women.]
[Hey, these two old guys really love their granddaughter. ]
Jiang Kuikui sighed in her heart.
Jiang Yibai felt that what Jiang Kuikui said was very awkward. Aren’t they their biological grandchildren?
In the TV shows he watched, weren't people like his grandparents supposed to favor boys over girls? But they gave him the feeling that they treated him and his brothers as Jiang Ningxue's... servants.
Shen Yun also keenly noticed that Jiang Kuikui seemed to have something else to say.
She adjusted her dress while waiting for Jiang Kuikui's next words.
But Jiang Kuikui was attracted by the dress in her hand and stared at her movements without blinking.
Shen Yun thought secretly that he would have to find a topic to lead to his precious daughter's next words.
"Hey--"
Before Shen Yun could speak, Jiang Yibai let out a long sigh.
There was a hint of melancholy between his brows, and his voice was a little helpless, "Mom, I actually never really liked Jiang Ningxue."
Shen Yun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Kuikui secretly, "Why?"
Jiang Yibai: "When I was a kid, if I didn't give Jiang Ningxue something good, my grandparents would bully me because of Jiang Ningxue. Jiang Ningxue would always try to persuade them hypocritically, but the more she tried to persuade them, the more my grandma disliked me."
Jiang Yibai seemed to have opened up his mouth and wanted to speak out all the grievances in his heart.
"One time, because I accidentally damaged Jiang Ningxue's Barbie doll's clothes and made her cry, grandma beat me up, and...blah blah..."
Shen Yun was silent. She had no idea about these things. She just felt that the old man from the Jiang family was not satisfied with her, which was why he was a little mean.
She glared at Jiang Yibai angrily, "Are you a fool? Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Kuikui nodded, "That's right."
Jiang Yibai felt wronged, "They threatened me and didn't let me tell you and dad."
Shen Yun became even angrier, "They asked you not to say it, so you didn't say it?"
"I was timid at the time and was frightened by them. Now I regret not reporting it in time."
"Sometimes I even suspect that my brothers and I were adopted. Only Jiang Ningxue is their biological granddaughter."
[Hey, you really guessed it right. ]
Shen Yun: ???
Jiang Yibai: ???
Only Jiang Ningxue is their granddaughter???
The mother and son were a little confused.
The two looked at each other dully, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Jiang Yibai's mind was a mess.
What the hell is going on here?
Shen Yun held his head and thought for a long time before he sorted out his thoughts.
She was certain and certain that Jiang Kuikui and her sons were all Jiang Jianren's children, and Jiang Ningxue was also Jiang Jianren's.
That being said, there seems to be only one possibility left.
Jiang Jianren is not the biological child of Jiang Dahe and Zhang Hongfang. Jiang Ningxue’s biological mother is the biological child of Jiang Dahe and Zhang Hongfang!
Shen Yun was shocked by his own speculation.
Jiang Yibai was still annoyed and confused about why this result happened.
Jiang Kuikui's next words confirmed Shen Yun's guess.
[Jiang Jianren is not the biological son of Jiang Dahe and Zhang Hongfang.]
Jiang Yibai took a breath and widened his eyes in disbelief.
Shen Yun tried hard to pretend nothing had happened and maintain superficial calm.
[Jiang Dahe's parents are very son-centric. They are disgusted by Zhang Hongfang's poor performance in pregnancy and her failure to give birth to a boy after three consecutive pregnancies. Therefore, they are dissatisfied with Zhang Hongfang and find fault with her.]
[When Zhang Hongfang was pregnant with her fourth child, the village chief's daughter-in-law was also pregnant. Later, the test showed that Zhang Hongfang's belly was still a girl, while the village chief's was a boy, so Zhang Hongfang became interested.]
[The village head's daughter-in-law gave birth first, and Zhang Hongfang also gave birth on the same day after taking the medicine. Finally, with the help of her good sisters in the same village, she successfully replaced the baby.]
A hint of sarcasm flashed across Shen Yun's face. It's true that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked.
