After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 504: Beat with a Stick

They had all grown accustomed to falling asleep to the sound of the radio, lying on the kang, eyes closed, it wouldn’t be long before they drifted off into dreamland.

Only the second family was still busy and hadn’t gone to bed yet.

Zhao Xiaojuan, after feeding Jiang Yuanbin, looked at Zhaodi lying in bed and asked with concern, "Zhaodi, why didn’t you eat meat at noon today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhao Xiaojuan remembered that Zhaodi usually loved meat the most, yet today, she didn’t even pick up a piece with her chopsticks, which was a bit abnormal.

Zhaodi feigned illness, covering her belly, and took the chance to say, "Hmm, mom, I’m indeed not feeling well and don’t want to eat anything greasy."

"Where does it hurt? Let mom massage it for you," Zhao Xiaojuan said as she reached out to rub her.

"No need, mom, it’s nothing serious, I’ll be fine after a sleep," Zhaodi quickly said, pretending, as she didn’t want her mom to worry.

"Alright, fortunately, there’s no need to work the fields today, so you can sleep a bit longer," Zhao Xiaojuan said gently as she stroked Zhaodi’s head.

Zhao Xiaojuan sat on the edge of the kang, watching the girls lined up asleep on the kang, and said softly with emotion, "Without the help of your Uncle’s family today, Er Ya might not have been able to continue her schooling this term."

After expressing her feelings, she also took the opportunity to educate them, "When Zhaodi was sick before, it was your Uncle who lent us money, gave us a big bowl of white rice, and told me to make porridge for Zhaodi. Now, every time they return, they bring so many delicious snacks, and when they lived with us, Mianmian always secretly gave you good things to eat. You must remember all the kindness they’ve shown to our family. When you’re educated and successful, don’t forget to repay your Uncle and his family. We can’t be those who are ungrateful and forget the favors we received, understand?"

"Mom, don’t worry, when I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay Uncle and his family," Er Ya said, lying on the kang, her eyes gleaming as she looked at her mom.

Da Ya also said, "Mom, we’ve always remembered Uncle’s kindness to us."

"We’ve always remembered," Laidi didn’t quite understand all this, but seeing her older sisters say it, she followed suit.

Only Zhaodi kept her eyes closed and said nothing, even feeling somewhat irritated in her heart.

Since the last outburst over the ginseng incident, her mom, whenever she had the chance, would tirelessly talk about all the favors the first family had done for them, insisting they firmly remember and grow up to repay them.

Zhaodi didn’t want to anger her parents, so usually she would just let it go in one ear and out the other, but today, Jiang Mianmian’s family was just sleeping next door.

Her mom had started talking about these things again, brainwashing them, and it made her extremely frustrated inside.

The more Zhaodi thought about it, the less she could bear it, so she stopped pretending to sleep, opened her eyes, and looked at her mom saying, "Mom, stop telling us about this, you’ve turned these few things over and over so many times. People say that those who give should not expect anything in return. They gave our family these small favors, do you want us sisters to owe them our whole lives?"

Jiang Changhe heard what Zhaodi said, bolted upright, glared at her with an unusual sternness and scolded, "What do you mean by small favors? Your life was saved by your Uncle! If I hear you spouting this kind of ungrateful nonsense again, I’ll see if I don’t beat you with a stick."

Zhao Xiaojuan, also unusually stern, disagreed and said, "Yes, Zhaodi, the kindness your Uncle’s family has shown us is something we can never repay in a lifetime."
