Chapter 845: Broken Family Ties
Uncle Xiaogui and his family were discussing in the kitchen how to prepare some delicious dishes for Jiang Ning as a way of repaying his kindness.
Suddenly, a scream came from next door.
Uncle Xiaogui and Second Grandma's faces suddenly changed and they hurriedly got up and went over.
As soon as they entered Jiang Ning's house, they saw Jiang Ning holding a belt and beating Jiang He so hard that he rolled on the ground in the yard.
Jiang Ning had good control of the technique. With a few blows from the belt, the cotton jacket on Jiang He was blown to pieces. The ground was covered with broken cotton. It was a horrific scene.
Jiang He was numb from the pain. His previous rebelliousness and glibness disappeared completely. He only had one thought in his mind: "Stop hitting me, please stop hitting me!"
He rolled and crawled, hoping to escape from the door, but Jiang Ning whipped him with a belt that pierced through the air and hit him with a "bang", pulling him back.
When the second grandma saw Jiang He, the village thief, being beaten, she felt really happy!
However, she still hurried forward to persuade him: "Jiang Ning, stop fighting, or something bad will happen!"
The fact that Jiang He has become what he is today is naturally related to his tyrannical father.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning put away the belt in his hand. Jiang He covered his dark neck with his hands and ran away, not daring to look back.
Uncle Gui watched Jiang He run away and said worriedly, "Jiang Ning, what's going on?"
Jiang He is not a cause for concern, as he is just a teenager, but his parents are difficult to deal with.
Jiang Ning: "This kid is a bad-mouthed guy. He deserves a beating."
Uncle Xiao Gui and the second grandmother looked at each other, as if they had determined their positions, and said, "Jiang Ning, go find your third uncle first. You must know the situation at Jiang He's home."
Jiang He's father used to bully Uncle Xiaogui's family. Because his second grandfather died early, Uncle Xiaogui had no father in his early years. There were not as many male members in his family as other families. If he lived in the countryside, he would be bullied.
In the past, when there was a conflict in the fields, Uncle Xiao Gui was kicked by Jiang He's father, but he just smiled and endured it.
Jiang Ning did not agree. He was waiting for Jiang He's father, and there was another account he had not settled yet.
"I've already cultivated myself to become an immortal. What's the point of returning to the village and not becoming an emperor?"
He didn't care at all: "It's okay, wait for him to come."
Uncle Xiaogui was worried that if Jiang He's father came to visit, things would not end well!
Second grandmother said hurriedly: "Jiang Ning, you should stay out of the spotlight first..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside: "Whoever hit my son, get out here!"
Jiang Ning looked up and saw that the one leading the group was a burly middle-aged man with a sturdy face and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Jiang He shrank behind him. When he first saw Jiang Ning, fear flashed in his eyes. Then, thinking of his father, he immediately straightened his chest and raised his head, pointed his finger, and shouted: "Jiang Ning, you wait to die!"
When Jiang He's father saw Jiang Ning, he was obviously stunned and was a little hesitant to recognize him. How come this kid seemed like a different person?
Then, Jiang He's father pointed at Jiang Ning and shouted arrogantly, "Jiang Ning, you've grown so powerful that you dare to hit my son?"
"If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll beat you to death!" He was a rough but meticulous man. Not only did he teach Jiang Ning a lesson, he also wanted to extort some money from him. After all, Jiang Ning's family was rich now.
"My son Hezi was beaten so badly, how do you explain this?" asked Jiang He's father.
Jiang Ning said calmly: "It's what it is."
Hearing this, Jiang He's father calmed down and said, "I don't want to bully the weak. Let's call your parents."
He is confident.
Uncle Xiaogui and Second Grandma were very anxious. They smiled and wanted to say a few nice words.
But Jiang Ning's voice rang out: "Xiao He asked me to borrow money, and then."
Jiang Ning clicked to play the recording, and a voice came out of the speaker: "If I don't pay it back this time, my whole family will die! The whole family will die!"
He looked playful and said, "Let's just consider ourselves a family, shall we?"
When Jiang He's father heard the recording, his face turned blue with anger. He raised his hand and slapped his son: "You beast!"
Jiang He, who was waiting for his father to vent his anger, was stunned by the beating. He cried, "Dad!"
Jiang He's father beat his son and said to Jiang Ning, "I'm not saying anything, but our Hezi was just joking with you, why are you reacting so strongly? Besides, you are already in your 20s, why are you fussing over my 10-year-old Hezi?"
Jiang Ning: "I'm 16."
Jiang He's father argued: "He's 16 years old, 19 years old in lunar age, rounded up, he's over 20 years old, look at him, isn't it too much to bully the younger?"
Jiang Ning: "You're right, I think you look 18."
Jiang He's father was delighted when he was praised for his youth, and said, "Hahaha, Ningning, you are really a joker. I am almost forty years old. I am old!"
Jiang Ning: "Being old is better than being dead."
Jiang He's father's face darkened: "Keep your mouth shut."
Jiang Ning was too lazy to flatter them. Jiang He's family had very bad character. His family's fields were next to Jiang He's. As Jiang Ning's parents had been working over the years, the land was rented to Xiao Guizi's family for farming.
So, Jiang He's family would secretly occupy some of his land every year. Over the years, nearly one acre of land had been swallowed up.
"Go wherever you need to go, or I'll beat you up too." Jiang Ning waved his hands as if he was shooing away a fly.
Jiang He's father was furious. He raised his huge fist and hit Jiang Ning hard.
Before Xiao Guizi could stop him, she saw a blur before her eyes, and Jiang Ning raised his leg and kicked Jiang He's father.
A powerful force poured out, stopping his forward movement and actually kicking him into the wall.
Jiang Ning pulled his legs back and said impatiently: "Do you really think I want to reason with you?"
Jiang He's father slowly slid down the wall.
"Carry your father away, or I'll beat you too." Jiang Ning saw the guest off.
Jiang He was dumbfounded, trembling all over, and quickly dragged his half-dead father and ran away.
Xiao Guizi seemed to have gotten to know Jiang Ning all over again, his eyes full of shock. Was he still the same honest and even somewhat bookish Jiang Ning?
……
It's approaching noon.
Jiang Ning set out to his second uncle's restaurant for dinner, and Jiang Hu told him that fresh mutton hotpot was prepared.
Jiang Ning walked on the gravel road in the village with his hands behind his back, admiring the scenery at the village entrance. Heading west, the surroundings gradually became empty, with endless wheat fields on both sides. In the distance, a young man riding an electric bike gradually approached.
Jiang Ning shouted, "Daheng."
The man called Daheng quickly stepped on the brakes and looked away, not daring to recognize him.
"I'm Jiang Ning."
Daheng was shocked and said, "Is it really you? I almost didn't recognize you!"
"He just grew taller." Jiang Ning said casually.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Jiang Ning learned that Daheng now worked in the town's duck factory, working in two shifts day and night. Although he was only five years older than Jiang Ning, he looked very haggard.
After bidding farewell to Daheng, Jiang Ning continued to move forward.
He thought about the scene just now. Daheng used to be a bit of a mess. He didn't study well and dropped out of school right after junior high school. He thought he could fly freely as he pleased, but in the end he still went to work in a factory.
Looking back, it always seems to be similar. Students who dropped out of school at a young age mostly do the most basic work in factories, as if they are paying for their past mistakes.
But on second thought, aren’t people like Jiang Ning who study hard also struggling in the city?
Who is qualified to judge whom?
It seems that what can truly determine a person's future is ultimately his family background. After all, it is difficult for people to escape from the influence of their parents.
With this thought in mind, Jiang Ning crossed the small stone bridge and walked into the town.
He went to a small shop to buy a can of Coke, sat on a bench in front of the town government square, drank the Coke, and leisurely watched the young people playing with the elderly fitness equipment.
He took out his phone, clicked on the Moments, and found that a lot of people liked his Moments.
Chen Siyu was the most eye-catching: "Are you on the train?"
Jiang Ning typed a reply: "I took the bus at around 8 o'clock."
Chen Siyu replied immediately: "Is it only 8 o'clock in your hometown now?"
Jiang Ning: "It's 11 o'clock."
Chen Siyu: "Then we have time difference (surprised)"
Jiang Ning took a breath of the cold air and replied, "Yes, I'm abroad now. It's 12 noon now."
Chen Siyu: “Great (thumbs up)”
at the same time.
In Wamiiao Town, there is the Hongyun Hotel. Although it is called a big hotel, it actually only has two small storefronts. At this moment, a private room on the second floor is filled with boys and girls aged sixteen or seventeen.
Shen Qing'e held the phone and looked at the screen from time to time. She noticed the circle of friends posted by Jiang Ning.
Shen Qing'e keenly screened out the useful information and thought silently: 'He is back.'
In contrast, Shen Qing'e has been back for three days.
As a girl who was once very popular in Waniao Middle School, she received an invitation from her junior high school classmates as expected, and rode her electric scooter to the town for a dinner party today.
At the dinner table, a tall and thin boy dressed quite fashionably raised his beer and said without any stage fright: "It's not easy for us to get together, let's drink this glass of wine!"
"Brother Jingle!"
"Brother Le is righteous!"
A group of young people immediately raised their glasses.
Brother Le smiled happily. He dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and went out to work. He knew how hard life was, so when he came back, he immediately contacted his former classmates for a reunion and took the initiative to treat them, hoping to get in touch with his female classmates.
At the dinner table, Brother Le, with his socially honed experience and emotional intelligence, opened the eyes of his old classmates, who were still naive students. He enjoyed everyone's admiration and felt elated.
"Xiaoxue, I toast to you!" Brother Le raised his glass to invite her to drink.
Someone said: "Xiaoxue will transfer to Guyang No. 1 Middle School next semester. I guess we won't have many chances to see each other again!"
Xiaoxue is a round-faced girl with a cheerful smile. She raised her cup and said, "I'm just going to study. I'll come back for the college entrance examination. I'm almost the same as Qing'e!"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Shen Qing'e. After not seeing her for a year, Shen Qing'e looked even more outstanding. Also, because she had been living under someone else's roof for a long time, she seemed to have acquired some inexplicable temperament that made it difficult for people to look away.
Shen Qing'e became the focus of the dinner table. She smiled slightly but said nothing.
A chubby boy with a chubby face nodded: "I remember Jiang Ning was also admitted to Yuzhou No. 4 Middle School. Are you still in touch now?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone showed various expressions, some raised their lips, some shook their heads, and some sneered.
Jiang Ning's flattery of Shen Qing'e was seen by his classmates. However, Shen Qing'e had always been indifferent to Jiang Ning, as if he was just having a one-sided love for her.
Moreover, compared to the outstanding-looking Shen Qing'e, Jiang Ning is average in other aspects except for his slightly better academic performance.
Shen Qing'e said: "We are still in touch."
After these words were spoken, some people's expressions froze for a moment, feeling inexplicably unhappy, as if a swan had been blasphemed.
Xiao Han, who had asked the question just now, continued to ask: "We haven't had much contact. No. 4 Middle School is much bigger than our Waniao Middle School. We are not in the same class, so we probably don't have much contact."
Before Shen Qing'e could answer, Xiaoxue asked mysteriously, "By the way, let me tell you something interesting. Do you still remember Gao Yinghui?"
Shen Qing'e frowned: "Gao Yinghui, who is she?"
……
On the bench, Jiang Ning drank Coke and waited for Jiang Hu to drive to pick him up.
Jiang Ning now has a clear and handsome appearance, wearing a black windbreaker, which is in line with the saying "being handsome is a feeling".
Therefore, there were often beautiful country girls nearby who would peek in. When Jiang Ning looked over, they would immediately turn their faces away, looking shy and timid.
However, not everyone is shy. There was a young woman in a long down jacket who actually abandoned her friends and went straight to him.
Jiang Ning glanced at her and felt a little strange.
The young woman looks good. She wears high-waisted wide-leg pants under her down jacket, and she walks very coolly.
She sat down next to Jiang Ning and greeted him boldly: "Handsome guy, you are well dressed."
Jiang Ning: “Not bad.”
The young woman felt relieved when she saw that he was willing to talk to her. Taking the first step is half the success.
"This man is so handsome!" She was really moved!
She continued her strategy: "Handsome guy, are you going out to play alone?"
Jiang Ning: "Well, let's go out and get some fresh air."
"That's great. I just came home from Lincheng to celebrate the New Year. It was so boring at home." She tried to find a common topic.
Jiang Ning: "Yes, my hometown is relatively backward."
"Where were you from before?"
"Yuzhou."
Jiang Ning had nothing to do, so he chatted with her for a while.
As expected of an older sister, she quickly defined it: "Are you a very honest person?"
Jiang Ning: "Yeah, an honest man."
The young woman covered her mouth and continued, "Yes, but it's not good for boys to be too honest. They will easily suffer losses."
Jiang Ning: "Well, what do you mean?"
Young woman: "How about this, I'll treat you to lunch and explain it to you."
Jiang Ning: "I want to listen now."
"Kukuku~" The young woman laughed so hard that she fell backwards: "You are really too honest!"
Jiang Ning also laughed.
At this time, a car drove over from a distance, the door opened, and Jiang Hu got out.
Seeing this scene, he urged, "What a coincidence, Jiang Feng, Jiang Ning, get in the car quickly!"
The young woman called Jiang Feng was stunned and thought: "Who the hell is Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning smiled warmly: "Cousin, let's go."
Jiang Feng suddenly realized, 'It turns out that he is my cousin! '
……
The car continued to move forward and Jiang Feng did not get in.
Jiang Feng is the adopted daughter of the second uncle. She is 25 years old this year and has been working away from home all year round. She had a good relationship with Jiang Ning in her previous life. However, a few years later, because her biological parents found her and some conflicts arose, she had almost no contact with the Jiang family.
However, at this point in time, she is still the daughter of the Jiang family.
When Jiang Feng thought about how, as her cousin, she actually took the initiative to tease Jiang Ning, her face turned red and she wanted to jump into the river on the spot!
In the car.
Jiang Hu told Jiang Ning that he was late because Jiang He stopped his car and told him about Jiang Ning's evil deeds, hoping that he could help him.
The two are birds of a feather.
"I beat him up, are you satisfied?" Jiang Hu said humbly.
Jiang Ning thought that Jiang He was really unlucky.
First he was beaten by himself, so he asked his father to help him, but was slapped by his father again. Finally he asked Jiang Hu to help him, but was beaten by Jiang Hu again.
Jiang Hu pleaded: "Can you delete the photos?"
Jiang Ning: "Think about it."
Jiang Hu felt aggrieved.
Suddenly, a friend request popped up on Jiang Ning's phone screen. When he opened it, he saw that it was sent by his cousin Jiang Feng in the family group.
He clicked to agree.
[Jiang Feng transfers 1000 yuan to you]
Jiang Feng: "Keep the contents of what just happened to me!"
