Chapter 124 My Daughter Died Young
"I am your own mother! Even if I sold you back then, it was out of necessity! You can hate me if you want, but how can you take it out on your grandparents!"
Li cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, "It's one thing for you to be unfilial, but do you expect me to be like you, disregarding my own parents?"
"My own mother?"
Jiang Mianmian scoffed, "Don't you feel any guilt saying those two words to me? Do you really think I know nothing?"
The mournful and shrill cries stopped abruptly, and Li's face turned deathly pale.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Mianmian knew that Manager Wu had not lied to her.
On the way to Yuanpei Manor, Manager Wu told her that he had heard Li say that she was not Li’s biological son.
Moreover, everyone in the Jiang family knew about this except for me!
At that moment, all the questions that had been troubling me found their answers.
No wonder the Jiang family could dote on their adopted daughter while abusing and imprisoning their biological daughter. The root of the problem is that I am not their biological daughter; I am just a thing with a little bit of use!
Jiang Mianmian looked down at her and said, "Tell me, what were you thinking when you sold me?"
"me……"
Li didn't know how much she knew. There were people from Lingxiao Tower all around, so she couldn't even talk to San'er about it!
"Don't want to talk? Then just go straight into the snake pit. I'll burn your entire Li family down with you then."
"I said it, I said it!"
Not wanting to die a gruesome death, Li quickly spoke up, "It's Li Mu. He owed money and forced me to pay it off. I had no choice but to sell you to make up for it. Waaah, Mianmian, I really had no other choice!"
"Then why did you pick up Jiang Ranran later?"
Jiang Mianmian pursed her lips. He likes her that much? He raised her for so many years for nothing?
Li dared not hide it any longer and told them about her difficult childbirth back then, "Mianmian, she, she is different from you. She has a birthmark on her body, just like my daughter who died young!"
"Alright, let's dig the hole."
Jiang Mianmian turned and left, a mocking smile still lingering on her lips, tears already streaming down her face.
She couldn't understand why she was crying. She had long since given up hope, and even her hatred and anger had faded, but she still felt so sad.
It felt like a giant hand that had been squeezing my heart was suddenly released, and my blood flowed freely throughout my body, but I was also suddenly in excruciating pain.
"Snapped!"
"Where are you going? Go dig a hole!"
Seventh Sister's angry shout came.
Jiang Mianmian turned around.
Li, trembling, picked up the tinderbox, sobbing, "I'll burn it, I'll burn it, boohoo."
Seventh Sister, whip in hand, glared at her. "Oh, not digging the pit anymore? Planning to make your parents die a horrible death? How filial you are!"
The sun was shining brightly, and Seven Sister was bathed in warm light, radiating vitality.
It's wonderful that they all lived well in this life.
[Merit points +5, +20, +100, +3... cumulative merit points.]
Jiang Mianmian glanced at her merit points, satisfied, and strode away.
This life has already been good enough; there's no need to have negative emotions because of the Jiang family.
She has Jiu Niang and the others, a warehouse and Peach Blossom Spring. If she could accumulate more merit points, she could even find the leader. What more could she ask for?
……
My whole body aches, especially my waist and head, as if I've been hit hard by a heavy object.
"Ranran, Ranran, how are you?"
"Cough cough cough, big brother, she's badly injured, don't shake her."
"Third son, why hasn't your mother come back yet? What does that brat want with her?"
The sounds were chaotic and confusing. Jiang Ranran's mind was foggy, she couldn't move her body, and she couldn't open her eyes.
Suddenly, with a creak, my eyes were bright for a moment, then quickly went dark again.
Yes, the door opened and then closed?
"Second brother?"
"Second brother? Why are you like this?"
"Waaah, Father, Eldest Brother, Third Brother, I... I've finally seen you alive!"
"Where are your teeth? And why are you missing an arm? What happened to your body...?"
"Dad! It's all that bitch Jiang Mianmian's fault! She captured me, knocked out my teeth, and threw me to a bunch of demons! They force-fed me different herbs every day, and one of the kids even broke my arm and re-set it to practice bone-setting. In the end, when they couldn't set it back up, they chopped it off! They're the ones who did all the injuries on my body! Waaah!"
He cried as he spoke.
A chill ran from her feet to the top of her head, and Jiang Ranran became increasingly lucid, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
"Didn't I tell you to follow her? How come you got caught instead?" Jiang Jiman asked.
Jiang Zhongtian cried even harder, recounting how he lost his way, was tricked by a group of children, was imprisoned, and now he had been captured and brought here.
This angered the other members of the Jiang family, who cursed repeatedly.
Just then, the door slammed shut again, and the cursing stopped immediately.
"what are you doing?"
"Boss! Boss!"
Li didn't return, and Jiang Bocai was arrested again!
Jiang Ranran's heart skipped a beat, and the others began to speculate, "What exactly is that brat up to?"
A while later, Jiang Zhongtian was also arrested.
Then came Jiang Jiman and Jiang Chuan.
Soon it was dark and quiet all around.
Jiang Ranran was terrified; this feeling was just like what she had experienced at Ruyi Tower.
Her foot was broken by being trampled, and no one paid any attention to her. She could only curl up on the bed alone, feeling thirsty, hungry, cold, and in pain.
But at least she could move, see, speak, and hear; now she can't even open her eyes!
After an unknown amount of time, the door opened again, and the footsteps grew closer.
Jiang Ranran's heart was pounding in her throat. For some reason, she felt that the person who came was the last person she wanted to see!
The next moment, a bright light appeared before my eyes, and I was suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water.
She nearly choked to death, "Cough cough cough!"
After coughing, she was able to move and open her eyes.
Jiang Ranran propped herself up and sat up, her eyes falling on the boots.
The toes of the shoes are slightly upturned like clouds, and the upper is embroidered with a cluster of trumpet creeper flowers. I don't know what kind of silk thread was used, but when the light shines on it, it shimmers with iridescent colors.
Like a trumpet creeper that has grown weary of the mundane world, it climbs all the way up and blooms above the auspicious seven-colored clouds!
So beautiful.
She gripped the mud tightly with her hands, not wanting to look up, yet unable to stop herself from looking up.
She wore a gauze skirt, a gold-threaded blouse, long, ink-black hair, and red lips with phoenix eyes that were full of contempt!
