When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421: Chapter 152: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (39)

"So the Jiang Family ended up raising an enemy," Jiang Yihua said, shrugging with a faint smile. "Before he was sent down to the countryside, my dad had a long talk with him and told him about his background."

"We weren’t looking for him to repay our kindness, but we couldn’t just let him be used by others, could we?"

"He played along well enough and acted grateful to our family, but only he truly knows what he was thinking."

"After all, my dad couldn’t produce any evidence to prove his innocence."

"In his eyes, we’re probably just hypocrites. On one hand, we felt guilty and had no choice but to adopt him. On the other, we treated him well as if giving alms to a beggar, just to maintain a good reputation."

"Regardless of what he thinks now, the Jiang Family has a clear conscience. It’s better to just make a clean break. From now on, we’ll have nothing to do with each other!"

Chi Yun’er nodded. "Some people are just incredibly petty. They take it for granted when others are good to them, but if someone wrongs them in the slightest, they treat that person like an enemy who has wronged them deeply."

"If they don’t secretly retaliate, it’s as if they’re letting themselves down and can’t live with themselves."

Jiang Yihua hummed in agreement. "Exactly. Once Jiang Zishi returns to the city, my dad will have him change his surname back to his mother’s, severing all ties with the Jiang Family. We’ll just let him fend for himself after that." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Let’s not talk about him," he said with a soft laugh. "Right now, Jiang Zishi has no money and no connections, so he can’t return to the city for the time being."

"When we hear that he’s back, we can figure out how to handle him then."

The two of them headed straight for their new home. First, they contacted painters, and then they measured the dimensions of each room.

Painting the walls was simple. The original surfaces were stained with grease and smoke, covered in children’s doodles, or marked with black smudges from the stove.

The workers only needed to apply one thick, careful coat, unlike modern renovations that require layer upon layer of paint.

The two workers had the house looking brand new in just half a day. They said that in this weather, it would be ready to live in after airing out with the doors open for two or three days.

Jiang Yihua saw the workers out with a smile. When he returned, he didn’t let Chi Yun’er lift a finger. He deftly grabbed a homemade tool and cleared the cobwebs and dust from the ceiling.
