After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: The Person Who Always Freeloads

Jiang Changhai only then gave Zhang Guihua a look and asked, “Mom, are you serious?”

“It couldn’t be more true. I’ll leave it at that today, Changhai. From now on, if you’re lazy and try to shirk work, you won’t get a meal, no matter how much you beg me. And Wanyu, San Ya, you both remember my words.”

Zhang Guihua deliberately mentioned the names of the three people from the eldest branch, making it clear who her words were directed at.

Far from being flustered upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai not only agreed but nodded in approval and said, “Mom, I’ve been saying, you should have done this a long time ago, to prevent some people from not working and just freeloading.”

After Jiang Changhai finished speaking, he looked directly at the couple from the Third Branch. Sun Lixia was not one to be taken advantage of. Seeing Jiang Changhai looking at them as he spoke made it seem as though the Third Branch had taken advantage of the eldest branch.

She immediately exploded, “Eldest brother, why are you looking at me? The work points earned by just one person in our family are more than those earned by two people in yours, and you still have the nerve to say that? It’s clear who is taking advantage of who.”

“Sister-in-law, look at you, I didn’t even say anything and you’re already feeling guilty. This isn’t how we settle accounts. Although your family earns work points with two people, your family eats with four mouths, you’ve never heard of ‘half-grown kids starving their father,’ have you?”

“Our family is different. We also earn work points with two people, but three of us eat, you see. Mianmian, a little girl, eats so little every day, almost like cat food.”

Listening to Jiang Changhai brazenly lying, Sun Lixia angrily pointed to the large bowl of rice in Mianmian’s hand and asked, “Eldest brother, is this what you call cat food?”

“Yes, Mianmian was hungry today and ate a bit more. Usually, Mianmian eats nothing but cat food,” Jiang Changhai said without changing his expression.

Sun Haixia was so angry she huffed and puffed, wishing she could scratch Jiang Changhai’s arrogant, shameless face.

“That’s enough. Let’s eat, and do as your mother said,” Jiang Dashan said, seeing their quarrel getting out of hand and sternly putting an end to it. @@novelbin@@

Eldest, a man in his thirties, really couldn’t continue this way any longer.

The couple from the second branch had not taken part in this conflict, but their eyes were full of shock.

The parents had truly hardened their hearts against the eldest brother?!

But with the eldest brother’s way with words, not doing business was indeed a waste of talent. It was clear that his family of three was taking advantage of the other branches, but through his rhetoric, it seemed as if the Third Branch was taking advantage of him.

Regardless of who was taking advantage of whom, it was none of their business. While their household had the most mouths to feed, they also earned the most work points.

Their children, except for the youngest, worked daily as if they were tied to the fields. Regardless of what others said, it wouldn’t apply to them, and Zhao Xiaojuan proudly stood tall.

The next morning, Jiang Changhai took his daughter to school and, without waiting for Zhang Guihua to urge him, conscientiously grabbed his tools and went to work.

Zhang Guihua thought her speech the day before had had an effect and felt that although her son was lazy, he was not beyond redemption.

If Jiang Changhai knew what his mother was thinking, he would surely laugh out loud. The reason he rushed to the fields to harvest was purely to earn his own food supply.

After all, if he didn’t earn enough work points by the end of the year, they would receive very little food supply. Although they could buy on the black market, what would they do if the crop yield was poor this year and they couldn’t buy food?
