Chapter 412: There’s No Way She’d Let Them Bully Her Husband!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Tang Beibei followed Jiang Jingchen to the Jiang residence. Although it wasn’t her first time here, she was still in awe of the luxury and vastness of this place.
“Hubby, they have such a big garden here, but they have planted many hybrid flowers and very few fruit trees.”
Jiang Jingchen glanced at the garden. He hadn’t noticed it before, but now he heard it, they were indeed many hybrid flowers here.
For example, to make the roses bigger, the gardeners would cross-breed heirloom rose with Chinese rose.
Many flowers here had been carefully cultivated by humans. Not only were they delicate, but they also lacked naturality and felt quite artificial.
Comparing the two gardens, he preferred the humble flowers and scrubs planted by his wife at home. They were natural, fresh, tenacious, and no less beautiful.
“I’ll get you a garden as big as this in future. We can plant fruit trees and eat what we grow all year round.”
Tang Beibei nodded with a smile and began to look forward to it.
“We can plant loquats, peaches, waxberries, lychees, apples, pears, oranges, pomelos, cabbages, eggplants, peppers… Hubby, you know, there are many varieties of peppers.”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and hooked her nose. “You sure know a lot about food.”
Tang Beibei licked her lips and rubbed her face against his palm with a goofy smile.
“I’ll plant trees, and when they bear fruit, I’ll give the sweetest fruit to you.”
Tang Beibei stopped talking as the two of them walked into the living room. They saw Jiang Xing and Song Yan sitting on the sofa while Jiang Minghua was playing with her phone on an armchair nearby.
Her face was quite pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes. She looked haggard.
Tang Beibei thought about it. Jiang Minghua had probably been staying up late, which caused weakness in her liver and excessive heat in her lungs. She also had a few pimples on her face, but she didn’t have any serious health problems.
Jiang Xing scoffed when he saw them walk in and lectured Jiang Jingchen, “Your sister tried to get close to you and you bullied her. Jiang Jingchen, what happened to your upbringing?”
“You even touched cow dung with your hands. If word gets out, you’ll embarrass the Jiang family!”
Tang Beibei was unhappy. Jiang Jingchen was helping her fertilize the plants. It wasn’t theft or robbery, so how did that embarrass the family?
If this kind of thing embarrassed the family, the family reputation was sh*t to begin with!
She wanted to retort but Jiang Jingchen shushed her.
Jiang Jingchen said to Jiang Xing, “Dad, you called me here to apologize to
Jiang Minghua. I’ll just apologize. It’s not a big deal. Don’t be angry.”
Jiang Xing looked at Jiang Jingchen strangely when he heard his very humble tone.
Jiang Jingchen was a very stubborn boy and never compromised easily.
But he was so agreeable this time. What was he up to?
Jiang Jingchen was about to speak when Jiang Minghua waved her hand and said, “Dad, don’t blame First Brother. I went to First Brother’s house that day to tell him that Second Brother is going to be discharged from the hospital and invited him to come home for a family gathering, but First Brother didn’t seem to like the topic.”
“It was my fault. I knew that First Brother and Second Brother aren’t on good terms. I didn’t express myself well and made First Brother angry.”
Her tone got sadder as she spoke and she began to sob.
Tang Beibei’s eyes twitched as she watched Jiang Minghua, who could really act!
Jiang Xing became even angrier at Jiang Jingchen after hearing Jiang Minghua’s words. “Jiang Jingchen, your second brother has already become like that. What big grudge do you have against him that you want to continue your bad blood with him?”
Jiang Jingchen looked at Jiang Minghua. So, his half-sister wanted to do the b*tchy act today…
He would gladly play along!
“Dad, you’ve misunderstood me.”
Jiang Jingchen put on an aggrieved expression. “The herbs I planted that day were the ones I took when I was in recuperation. I just wanted to plant those things to help Minglang with his recuperation.”
Jiang Xing was surprised. “You planted herbs for your second brother?”
Why didn’t he believe it?
Jiang Jingchen and Jiang Minglang never got along, so why would he personally plant herbs for him?
Jiang Jingchen looked his father in the eye and said sincerely, “Although I didn’t get along with my second brother in the past, he is already unwell. How can I still hold anything against him?”
Jiang Xing looked at his son suspiciously; he still didn’t believe him.
Tang Beibei glanced at Jiang Jingchen and added quickly, “My husband and I asked Third Sister to join us but Third Sister thought that it was too dirty and didn’t join us.”
“She accidentally touched cow dung when she left. I wanted to help her wash it, but she didn’t agree and said that my husband and I bullied her and that she would tell Dad.”
Tang Beibei let out a bitter chuckle and looked at Jiang Xing aggrievedly.
“I married the first young master of the Jiang family, who’s completely out of my league. I can’t even wait to curry favor with Third Young Miss. Why would I bully her?”
Tang Beibei looked at Jiang Minghua again. Her pitiful tone sounded like she was about to cry.
“I know. Third Sister thinks that I’m of lowly status, and I have neither talent nor beauty. I also feel very inferior. I wanted to get close to Third Young Miss, but you misunderstood me as wanting to harm you. I feel really wronged.”
“Third Young Miss, I apologize to you. This is all my fault. Please don’t blame my husband. He dotes on you very much. He even scolded me after you left.” Anyone could lie through their teeth!
There was no way she’d let them bully her husband!
When Jiang Jingchen heard his wife spout nonsense with a straight face, he held back his laughter and looked at her.
Her acting was a little exaggerated, but she was playing herself.
Jiang Minghua listened to the couple’s nonsense and stood up to berate them. “You’re spouting nonsense. You didn’t ask me to help you plant any herbs. You made me touch cow dung on purpose.”
The more aggressive Jiang Minghua got, the lowlier Tang Beibei acted.
“We used cow dung to fertilize the herbs. I wanted to give you cow dung so you could join us. I didn’t mean to hurt you. You’ve misunderstood me.”
“That’s not true. Jiang Jingchen pranked me on purpose.” Jiang Minghua was furious. “Dad, don’t listen to her nonsense. They’re both lying.”
Jiang Jingchen said, “Why would I lie to Dad? I know that Dad is busy with work, so I try not to disturb him.”
“Third Sister, I’ve already apologized to you. What else do you want?”
Jiang Minghua listened to the couple sing the same tune as they try to embarrass her.
The way they acted all apologetic and lowly felt like a pile of cow dung. Disgusting!
Tang Beibei continued, “Although I haven’t been part of the family for long and haven’t spent much time with Third Sister, I still like her. I also wish for the family to be harmonious and for the siblings to help each other.”
“Third Sister, whatever about me that makes you unhappy, tell me now. I’ll change.”
Jiang Minghua almost vomited blood from the couple’s words.
What a couple of smoke blowers!
Jiang Minghua was about to lose her temper but Song Yan stopped her.
Jiang Minghua turned to look at her mother. Song Yan said with a smile to Tang Beibei, “Beibei, don’t say that. You were willing to marry Jingchen back then despite his condition. Our family should thank you.”
“Why would Xiaohua detest you? Don’t misunderstand. She didn’t mean that.”
Jiang Minghua suppressed her anger and immediately nodded. “That’s right, Sister-in-law. I like you too. It’s just that you’re still young and a student. You are not seeing certain things clearly yet. I wasn’t blaming First Brother.”
“It’s just that the thought of dirty cow dung and wriggling earthworm still haunt me. I’m so frightened that I have nightmares and feel sick all over.”contemporary romance
Tang Beibei heard that although she said she wasn’t blaming Jiang Jingchen, she added the part about being frightened obviously as a complaint so that Jiang Xing would punish Jiang Jingchen.
She thought about how her husband had lived here without his mother’s love and protection, but with younger siblings and a stepmother who bullied him constantly. Her heart ached for him as she held his arm.
She would do her best to protect him from now on!
But she revealed an innocent and cute smile as she said, “This insomnia due to fright thing might be a medical condition. Let me take a look. Maybe I can help you relieve it.”
Jiang Minghua stared at her and cursed in her heart that Tang Beibei was the one who was f*cking sick!
“Sister-in-law, I shan’t trouble you. We have a family doctor.”
“After all, you’re a student. You haven’t gotten your medical license yet, right? It’ll be embarrassing if you randomly treat patients but they don’t get well.”
Tang Beibei couldn’t refute that, but she couldn’t lose her disposition even if she lost the argument, so she kept the smile on her face.
After Jiang Minghua won a point, she said to Jiang Xing, “Dad, don’t blame First Brother. Life hasn’t been easy for First Brother too. He finally recovered and got married. Although his wife doesn’t have much of any status or knowledge, it’s not that big a deal.”
“But if she randomly treated patients without a medical license and something bad happened, she’d embarrass the Jiang family. First Brother, you may want to keep your wife in check.”
Jiang Minghua scolded Tang Beibei in a roundabout way for her lowly status, for climbing up the social ladder by marrying into the Jiang family, and for embarrassing the Jiang family.. She had gone too far!
