Chapter 419: Only Fighting With You Because I Love You
"In my previous life, my sister suddenly left after giving birth to the child," Jiang Cheng said.
He turned around holding the letter, "Take a look first, let Mom and Dad rest easy."
Si Rong nodded; to be honest, this Jiang Qi was truly too willful and selfish.
What kind of behavior was it to give birth to a child and dump it on her parents?
This was outrageously willful.
It brought hardship to the parents and hardship to the child, while she herself was the one who got off scot-free.
However, after reading the letter, Si Rong was even angrier. Perhaps because she had married into the Jiang Family earlier in this life, and happened to have provided some slight care to Jiang Zhi due to the affection from her previous life, Jiang Qi had entrusted Jiang Zhi to her care.
She called it hoping the child could feel the love of a father and mother.
But Sister, anyone else might have the standing to say that, but you? Do you have the standing?
Furthermore, if there were special circumstances, her helping to take care of the child would be a favor.
But now, she had clearly become the forced party.
For a moment, the whole family fell silent.
Si Rong felt a strange sense of sympathy for Hu Qian; objectively speaking, she was a good mother-in-law and also a good mother.
Both brothers, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yu, had been raised very well by her, and both were very filial and sensible.
How could this daughter be so...
"This is simply outrageous!" Jiang Aiguo was so angry he didn't know what to say.
Hu Qian covered her face, her shoulders trembling slightly.
They had already accepted that their daughter had a child out of wedlock, but now that their daughter had left after giving birth and dumping the child on them, it really made them angry and helpless.
"Rongrong, don't worry, your dad and I will take care of this child."
Hu Qian spoke up.
Si Rong thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to Jiang Cheng."
Actually, Xu Yan felt quite awkward at this moment. Her sister-in-law had done such a shameful and willful thing. She and Si Rong were both daughters-in-law of the Jiang Family, yet Jiang Qi hadn't mentioned her once in the letter before leaving, but had instead entrusted the child to Si Rong.
It was evident that she had a better relationship with Si Rong.
However, that had nothing to do with her; anyway, the matter didn't concern her now, so she didn't need to express an opinion.
But when her mother-in-law said they would take care of the child, Xu Yan's eyebrows twitched.
She was already over seven months pregnant and would soon be giving birth and undergoing her postpartum recovery; if her mother-in-law took care of her sister-in-law's child, it would be inevitable that she would neglect her and her child.
It was just that her mother-in-law was also pitiful, and in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say that she wouldn't allow her mother-in-law to manage her sister-in-law's child.
Jiang Cheng was also in a difficult position. If it were his previous life, his sister would have left the child with him, and he would have just entrusted a nanny to take care of the child.
But in this life, his sister had entrusted the child to both him and his wife.
It wasn't that she didn't know that Rongrong had to be busy with work while also taking care of two children.
Yet she still selfishly chose to do this.
"Then let's listen to Mom," Jiang Cheng said, "Rongrong has to go to the factory every day and also coax the two little ones to sleep; it's very tiring."
"Mm, then you two go back first, go back and sleep early."
Hu Qian could completely understand; she herself had once been a daughter-in-law too.
Jiang Qi leaving the child to them was their couple's bad luck, but how could one let their sister-in-law take care of their own child? Where did she get the nerve?
Besides, a child this young was not easy to take care of.
One had to get up every two or three hours to feed and change diapers, and if the child caught a cold or had a headache, one wouldn't even be able to sleep.
Just after Si Rong and Jiang Cheng left, Xu Yan dragged Jiang Yu back into their room.
"Your sister is too much!" Xu Yan said, "Mom is already at such an old age, how could she have the heart?"
"Doesn't she always complain that our grandmother is biased toward boys? Why is she treating her own daughter like this now?"
Jiang Yu sighed, "My sister has always lived in her own world."
"She can live in her own world, but the prerequisite is not to affect others,"
Xu Yan was very angry, "Now because of her, Mom and Dad have to take care of a baby, all of us have to be angry because of her, and we have to be disturbed by the child every day!"
She had become much more irritable since she got pregnant, "What's even more ridiculous is that she had the nerve to entrust the child she gave birth to to Si Rong. Really, it's just that Si Rong has a good temper, but I don't think she's very happy either; maybe she'll have to have a fight with our brother when they get home!"
"Not necessarily," Jiang Yu said.
Xu Yan was also a bit surprised, "Is our sister-in-law's temper that good?"
"Not at all, they can't fight at all. With just one look from our sister-in-law, Brother behaves himself."
"Then why don't you learn from your brother?" Xu Yan said with some envy, "When we fight, you never let me win!"
"Every monkey has its own way of being tied," Jiang Yu said leisurely, "Look, I never fight with other women, I only fight with you; doesn't that mean I only love you?"
"If I didn't fight with you, wouldn't you become the same as other women to me? I don't fight with other women at all, so what else would be special to prove that you are different from other women in my heart?" Jiang Yu said solemnly, "Think about it, think about it carefully, and then answer me: do I still need to fight with you in the future?"
Xu Yan:...
At first glance, it did sound very reasonable, but she always felt something wasn't quite right.
"Yes, I suppose so."
She very coincidentally remembered an old saying: fighting is affection, scolding is love; the more fiercely she and Jiang Yu fought, the deeper their love proved to be.
Thus, she hurriedly pulled Jiang Yu to have another fight.
If it were before, she might not have found an excuse to fight, but now, with the sound of the child crying reaching their ears from time to time, she could find a reason to start a fight easily.
Jiang Yu:...
Si Rong and Jiang Cheng didn't fight when they returned home, but Jiang Cheng knew his wife was unhappy.
This wasn't his wife's fault; it was his sister's fault.
Now he truly felt that his older sister Jiang Qi—the little girl in this family whom Nainai hated the most—had a way of doing things that was simply cut from the same cloth as Nainai.
In fact, when they were little, people in the village used to joke that Jiang Qi was like Nainai, but later, as Jiang Qi grew up, she grew to hate others saying that, and after she flew into a rage on the spot twice, people gradually stopped saying it.
Thinking about it now, there really were quite a few sharp people in the village, and what they said made a lot of sense.
Giving birth to a child and then running away, entrusting the child to her sister-in-law—even if you told the whole world, it would be considered quite bizarre.
Jiang Cheng understood his wife; she was very kind, but she did not like being forced to be kind.
He felt angry in his heart, angry that he could not change Jiang Zhi's situation from being the same as in his past life, and because of this, he fell into a deep sense of powerlessness.
Little Jiang Zhi would still grow up just like in his past life, being cursed at as a wild child with no father or mother.
And his older sister Jiang Qi would still be just like in his past life, forever unable to truly grow into a mother.
It was late at night, but Jiang Cheng still could not fall asleep.
In order not to disturb his wife's sleep, he lay there without moving at all.
"Still can't sleep?" Si Rong's arm draped across his body; she understood the conflicted mood Jiang Cheng was in at this moment, as Jiang Zhi was an existence to him just like a daughter, "Otherwise, why don't we bring Jiang Zhi to live at our house?"
