Because Li Chenxuan and Jiao Siyu’s names are registered under the house where the Jiao family lives, they can’t ask for another place. Therefore, they can only rent a small room. Because of this, they have very little money left each month. If Father Li hadn’t sent them some food every few months, they wouldn’t have been able to live in the county town.
Li Chenze walked into the building and climbed up the stairs. The Jiao family lives on the third floor. When he stood in front of door No. 319, he took a few deep breaths before calming down his breathing. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he knocked on the door.
Not long after, an impatient voice came from inside the house, "Coming, coming! It’s so late, who’s coming to visit?"
The door opened, and Li Chenze looked at the old woman in front of him and said, "Aunt Jiao, I’m sorry for coming to see you so late. However, there is something urgent that I need to inform you and your husband."
When Mother Jiao heard what he said, she suddenly came back to her senses. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Chenze was speechless when she asked him this question. How could she not even recognize her son-in-law’s family when they had met before?
"I am Li Chenze, Li Chenxuan’s eldest brother."
When Mother Jiao heard his name, she let out a long ’Oh’ and looked at him from head to toe, with a hint of disdain in her eyes. She crossed her arms and said, "It’s so late, why are you here? Don’t you know it’s impolite to visit during meal time?"
Li Chenze needed to take a deep breath to calm down his irritation and said, "Aunt Jiao, I’m not here to leech off your meal. I’m here to tell you about your daughter’s situation."
Mother Jiao frowned and asked, "What’s wrong with her? Shouldn’t she be working at this time?"
Without waiting for Li Chenze to explain, she added, "This damn girl always brings trouble to the family even after she gets married. I don’t care what happens to her. Since she has married into your family, you should be the one who worries about her matter. Her affairs had nothing to do with my family. She is your family’s responsibility now."
Li Chenze’s eyes turned cold when he heard her words. He didn’t expect Mother Jiao could say these heartless words as if the one they were talking about was a stranger and not her own daughter. No matter how bad Jiao Siyu’s personality is, she is still her own daughter!
"Aunt Jiao, even if your daughter marries my second brother, she is still your biological daughter. How can you ignore her like this?" Li Chenze asked in disbelief.
"Whether I ignore her or not, it’s all my business. What does it have to do with you? If there’s nothing important, you should leave." Mother Jiao said impatiently.
"What are you shouting for? I’m not deaf!" Jiao’s mother asked loudly. freeweɓnovel.cøm
