The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 278: A Major Disagreement

Jiang Huilan rushed home breathlessly, hearing faint cursing from inside the house, which made her lips, previously smiling, instantly tighten.

With a furrowed brow, she deftly took out the key, inserted it into the lock, and turned, twisting the handle to push open the door.

As the door opened, the sound inside the house gradually became clearer.

"Look at your score, a hundred-point test, and you only got ninety-five, where are the extra five points? Tell me... how did you lose them?" Bai Li waved the test paper in her hand, spitting as she spoke, the paper hitting Jiang Shulan’s face several times, "Are you mute? Speak..." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Jiang Shulan shrank her head, her fearful look made Jiang Huilan, who just entered, feel pained.

"Mom, why are you scolding my sister again?" Jiang Huilan quickly shut the door to prevent the family’s noise from reaching the neighbors, attracting a crowd of nosy people.

"You still know to come back, what time is it? What time is it?" Bai Li’s mood was sour today, Jiang Peng wasn’t home, and it was her chance to properly discipline this eldest daughter.

"Mom, don’t shout, let’s talk nicely." Jiang Huilan frowned, full of helplessness.

Her whole expression of ’don’t be unreasonable’ made Bai Li even angrier.

"What kind of attitude is this, now I can’t even talk to you, is that it?" Bai Li remembered her past defiance, and now seeing her talk, she even dared to criticize her.

This unfilial daughter sees no mother in her eyes.

Jiang Huilan silently rolled her eyes but still needed to advise, "I didn’t, I’m just saying let’s talk nicely, don’t yell and make a fuss, if people outside hear, they’ll think something’s wrong with our family and it’ll be a joke."

Letting others see us as a joke is definitely not okay, Bai Li listened a bit, lowering her voice as she continued to interrogate, "What time is it now? Who did you go out with?"

"I went to see a movie with Brother Tianyu." Jiang Huilan saw her stance and knew if she didn’t give an explanation today, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

But unexpectedly, even after explaining, she still couldn’t sleep...

"A movie? Just the two of you?" Bai Li felt terrible, "You idiot, did you suffer any loss? Tell me..." saying this, she wanted to check.

Jiang Huilan quickly stopped her, "What are you thinking... we didn’t do anything, just watched a movie. There were so many people in the cinema, how could you... have such filthy thoughts..."

"What did you say? I have filthy thoughts? Ha... don’t you know what kind of person Huang Tianyu is? How can I not think much? From small to grown, he’s nothing but a delinquent!" Bai Li was angry seeing her unmoved, "I just don’t understand, someone like that, what do you see in him? With your conditions, what kind can’t you find, yet you choose him..."

Rambling, continuing to ramble, repeating endlessly...

Jiang Huilan’s furrowed brows could crush flies.

"Mom, enough, I’ve already agreed to date Brother Tianyu, and I will marry him in the future, he’s destined to be your son-in-law. I hope you respect my choice." Jiang Huilan really couldn’t hold it in, and just said it directly.

Bai Li almost choked from anger, "What sin have I committed to have given birth to such a shameless being like you. You just push yourself onto others, do you... have any shame..."

In Bai Li’s eyes, Jiang Huilan’s behavior was defiance. Agreeing to marry Huang Tianyu without her consent, no matchmaker, no engagement, privately deciding her lifelong partner, so shameless, where is the dignity a girl should have, how is she still Bai Li’s obedient daughter...

"Mom, I’m your daughter, how can a mom talk about her daughter like this..." Jiang Huilan didn’t expect Bai Li to suddenly lose her image, shouting and scolding, with every word piercing her heart.

"I even doubt if you are my daughter, my daughter is obedient and sensible, beautiful and kind-hearted. But look at you now, look what you’ve become..." Bai Li was deeply disappointed, with moist eyes, apparently unable to accept the blow for a while.

Jiang Huilan shook her head and stepped back, taking a deep breath, "I’m still me, but you... Mom, I’m going to my room, you should go and sleep early."

She felt communicating with her mother was impossible, no need for more talk, because talking was just those two sentences back and forth, producing no results.

"Sleep? How can I sleep now?" She looked at Jiang Shulan, who listened to the gossip for a while, angrily saying, "You listen well, don’t learn from your sister, during your studies, you’re not allowed to date. If I find out you kids are dating early, I’ll break your legs." Bai Li said this with a harsh tone, scaring Jiang Shulan to a pale face.

"Mom, what are you doing, you’re scaring my sister." Jiang Huilan saw her timid look and quickly stepped forward to shield her.

"Get out of my way..." Bai Li looked at Jiang Huilan blocking Jiang Shulan, really furious, "I’m disciplining her for her good. I was too easy on you, always caving, but look at you now, grown up, wings hardened, right... I didn’t discipline you well, I was wrong. I will correct this mistake, and definitely raise your sister well, won’t let her follow your footsteps!"

"Mom, can’t you talk nicely? My sister is still young, every time you yell loudly, even raising your hand to threaten, she’ll be scared." Jiang Huilan felt for Jiang Shulan, strongly defending her.

"Talk nicely, do you listen?" Bai Li widened her eyes, glaring at Jiang Huilan, "I talk nicely to you, get out of my way!"

Jiang Huilan’s temper rose, insisting on shielding Jiang Shulan, "No."

"No? Alright, alright... I can’t discipline you, can I?" Bai Li furiously searched for a broom, swinging it at Jiang Huilan, "You won’t move aside, right, you’re capable, right, let’s see if I can’t discipline you..."

Jiang Huilan never thought she would be chased around by her mom one day, such a scene only happened when kids in the neighborhood did wrong.

She never thought she would personally experience being chased and hit by her mom. Holding her head, she dodged around, but the house is just so big, where could she go to escape.

After a while, Bai Li got tired of hitting, sitting down by herself, gasping, "Jiang Huilan, I’m telling you, you better behave yourself. Don’t do things that bring shame, drag your sister’s reputation down, I won’t leave it alone, scram..."

Jiang Huilan’s hair was messy like grass from the beating, probably bruised on the arm several spots.

Hearing Bai Li’s words, she was already calm.

Alright, whatever she says.
