Chapter 287: The Benefits of Menopause

Jiang Yue clearly heard the sound of her own heartbeat, like a drum.

She retreated as quickly as she could.

She heard Jiang Sinian say, "I'm sorry."

Jiang Yue shook her head and walked inside with Jiang Siyu.

She thought, fortunately, this was just a one-sided crush, with only her own internal battle raging.

Jiang Sinian stood at the doorway for a while; the scent of camellias seemed to still linger on the tip of his nose.

Just moments ago, Jiang Yue's hair had drifted past that spot.

Si Rong was wearing her reading glasses and binge-watching a TV drama; she hadn't watched much when she was young, but now that she had started, she couldn't put it down.

After Jiang Siyu went in, she told Si Rong about how Lu Fei's mother had stewed chicken soup and asked her to come over to eat it.

"I think there's something wrong with her brain!"

Si Rong was currently going through menopause and was quite emotional; she had just been diagnosed at the hospital a few days ago.

She sat up from the sofa with a start, turned off the TV, and prepared to go out.

When Jiang Cheng heard the commotion and walked out of the room, Si Rong had already driven the car out of the courtyard.

"Where did your mother go?"

Only then did Jiang Siyu feel a sense of lingering fear, so she hurriedly told her father about what had just happened; fortunately, there was another car at home, so Jiang Cheng drove it, carrying the two young girls and Jiang Sinian, and rushed to the Lu Family.

……

Sun Chanjuan was downstairs bragging to her neighbors, "My son is already seeing someone; it's that little daughter of Si Rong from the Si Family, she's been chasing my Lu Fei so hard!"

"Oh! The Si Family, then you two old folks will have endless blessings to enjoy in the future!"

"Who's to say otherwise? The main thing is that the little girl fancies my son..."

Suddenly, a loud female voice came over, "Sun Chanjuan! Stop spouting nonsense!"

Si Rong walked to the bottom of the Lu Family's building, and before she even went upstairs, she heard her spouting nonsense, so she walked straight up and slapped her.

"My daughter has never paid any attention to your son; it's your son who acts like a toad, pestering people and being disgusting! Let me tell you, since you know you're a toad, don't dream of eating swan meat!"

"Si Rong, who are you calling a toad? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're the Commander's Wife!"

Sun Chanjuan cursed loudly, "Your own daughter is shameless, seducing someone else's son, and you still have the nerve to come here and scold people?"

"Seducing?" Si Rong grabbed her hair with one hand, "If you're so good at making up lies, why don't you become a screenwriter? With your son's character, I should have known better than to send you two to the hospital back then! Ungrateful wretches!"

Sun Chanjuan was a woman who cared about her reputation; being scolded by Si Rong in front of the neighbors made her face burn with shame.

Perhaps it wasn't just shame; she didn't know how this woman Si Rong had developed such strength, as the slaps to her face hurt terribly.

Sun Chanjuan was beaten until she had no power to fight back, and she had lost all face.

Fortunately, she saw her husband just coming downstairs and hurriedly shouted, "Come and help!"

Before Sun Chanjuan's husband could step forward, he was blocked by a tall, sturdy man.

Jiang Cheng saw his wife wasn't losing and wasn't in a hurry, "Women are fighting, let's men not interfere."

Otherwise, he would have to join in too.

If that happened, the situation where only Sun Chanjuan was getting beaten would turn into both husband and wife getting beaten.

Clearly, Lu Fu also saw the gap in physical strength between himself and the man in front of him, so he didn't intervene.

Sun Chanjuan was pinned to the ground by Si Rong and taught a lesson.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Siyu's eyes turned red; her mother had been elegant her whole life, yet today she was actually resorting to physical violence for her sake.

Lu Fei had been hiding in the room, but seeing his mother beaten like this, he had no choice but to go downstairs.

Now that the two families had caused such a scene, what would happen to him and Jiang Siyu in the future?

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

Lu Fei attempted to pull his mother up from the ground.

But the moment he bent over, before he could pull Sun Chanjuan up, he was suddenly kicked away by a great force.

He flew a full two meters away!

"Lu Fei! Have I not warned you to stay away from my sister! Are you incapable of understanding human speech?"

He blamed himself for being so busy lately that he didn't even know his little sister had been pestered by this pair.

"This is the last warning; if there is a next time, I will chop off this dog paw of yours!" Jiang Sinian curled his lips in a wicked smile, full of threats.

It scared Lu Fei so much that his fingers shrank back a few times.

"I, I, I won't dare to again."

Although there were many benefits to being with Jiang Siyu, he didn't want to be disabled.

"Alright, alright, you've done your hitting," Lu Fu saw his wife's face was almost swollen into a bun from the slaps and couldn't bear it, "Hurry up and leave!"

"Do you think getting a beating is the end of it?" Si Rong didn't intend to let them off so easily, "Apologize to my daughter!"

Sun Chanjuan hadn't expected that the woman she considered a soft persimmon would deliver a critical hit the moment she acted; the daughter of the Si Family had actually transformed into a shrew, beating her until she almost became incontinent!

This was just too much!

Fine, she'd apologize!

"I'm sorry," Sun Chanjuan said stiffly.

"Speak louder!" Si Rong wanted to make sure she learned her lesson today, "And promise that your foul mouth will never slander my daughter again!"

"I'm sorry! From now on, from now on I won't, I won't slander you again!"

Si Rong straightened her clothes; menopause had its benefits too—going crazy felt great!

To hell with being elegant!

"I know your type best," Si Rong slowly revealed a smile, "Apologizing with your mouth, but who knows what you're thinking in your heart."

"Your Lu Family's business has been doing quite well lately, hasn't it?"

She let out a cold snort and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng and the few children hurriedly followed after her.

"What did she mean by that sentence she said before leaving?" A sense of ominous foreboding suddenly rose in Sun Chanjuan's heart.

Everything was fine, so why bring up their family's business?

Their family's business had indeed been quite good during this period.

"Stupid woman!" Lu Fu shoved her hatefully, "The biggest customer of our hardware store is the Si Family; now look at you, you've offended the Si Family's daughter, will the Si Family still use our hardware?"

Sun Chanjuan felt her brain turning into mush, "They use our hardware, shouldn't they be the ones begging us?"

"I think your head and your backside are on backward!" Lu Fu simply couldn't communicate with her; his wife's Gongnongbing University education from over thirty years ago was truly hollow, "How much nerve do you have? To think you could make the Si Family beg you!"

"How many hardware stores are there in Huaiyang? If they don't use ours, there will be people lining up at their door begging them to use theirs!"

"Then what should we do?" Sun Chanjuan was starting to regret it now.

She had thought, she had thought that Si Rong wouldn't discover her scheme against Jiang Siyu.

Even if she did discover it, for the sake of her daughter's reputation, Si Rong would swallow this bitter pill.

She hadn't expected things to turn out like this.

"What else can we do? Now we can only hope the Si Family will show mercy and not hold it against a fool like you!"

Before the next day, the Si Family canceled their cooperation with the Lu Family hardware factory.

Sun Chanjuan was completely dumbfounded.
