She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!
Chapter 520 - 519: Love-Struck Fool at Home 1
This time is in a world where the special era is about to pass, the commissioner is a rural girl.
The family conditions are quite good, the commissioner was pampered and loved from a young age.
Her father Jiang Aiguo is the team leader, her mother Chen Xiuying is good at managing the household, and she has two older brothers, the eldest brother Jiang Maochuan and his wife are teachers at the village school, while her second brother Jiang Maohua works at a factory in the town.
The commissioner graduated from high school and is currently a temporary substitute teacher at the village school.
She did well at school, originally waiting for the opportunity to take the college entrance exam, with her abilities she would surely be able to go to university. However, life’s unpredictability led to an unplanned marriage before the exam ever happened. She married a man who seemed decent on the surface, praised by everyone but was actually a madman, from which she never escaped her whole life.
It was all facilitated by her second brother and sister-in-law, more precisely it was her sister-in-law who enthusiastically pushed for the union.
Her second brother Jiang Maohua was all about romance, obsessed with Su Man, dragged the entire family into hell for this woman. The most ridiculous part was that the child Su Man was carrying was not his, even after they married, they didn’t live as husband and wife. When the child’s father came looking later, tenderly handed over Su Man and the child, enraging Jiang Aiguo and his wife half to death.
One could say the Jiang Family tragedy all stemmed from this lovesick second brother and Su Man. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"You wretched fool!" Jiang Aiguo cursed in disappointment, even slapping Jiang Maohua on the head, "Cause such trouble, aren’t you ashamed? If you fancy the girl, you should follow proper procedures, get married first, what’s the rush? Do you understand that this is irresponsible? If you truly like her and she agrees, the family wouldn’t object to you two, could it not be discussed with the family? You fool!"
Jiang Maohua hung his head, not daring to interrupt, looking every bit apologetic, leaving Jiang Aiguo rather helpless.
"Isn’t he a fool indeed? If things go wrong, wouldn’t you taint the girl’s reputation? If you like her, you should consider her reputation, he deserves a beating!" Chen Xiuying was unapologetic, striking Jiang Maohua with a feather duster on the leg, making him jump, crying out in pain.
Though the situation of unmarried pregnancy wasn’t really uncommon in this era, nothing like the feudal times where people faced dire consequences, the gossip was unpleasant and hard to endure.
The Jiang Family couple were very kind-hearted, hearing that Jiang Maohua caused a girl to become pregnant, they felt very guilty, thinking they hadn’t raised their son well. They planned to teach Jiang Maohua a lesson, then discuss with the girl’s family, since they had a child, they were surely mutually fond, marrying early would prevent bad rumors.
Jiang Maohua admitted his fault, his attitude remained good, obviously he understood the hearts of Jiang Aiguo and his wife.
After scolding and beating him, noticing his attitude was fine, they sat down to discuss the matter.
Jiang Aiguo scanned the family members, suddenly noticing his youngest daughter was daydreaming with her chin propped on her hand, seemingly the least concerned about the issue, making him curious.
Realizing Jiang Aiguo’s gaze, Ah Chen put her hand down, sitting slightly straighter.
The matter of Su Man’s child not being Jiang Maohua’s should be clarified quickly, as for what Jiang Maohua would do, that was his own affair. Adults should be responsible for their actions, if he stubbornly insists on marrying Su Man, he would bear the consequences himself.
Originally, the entire Jiang Family backed him, feeling guilty towards Su Man, showing her indulgence because of their regret towards her. Creating this impression was also due to Jiang Maohua, a traitor in love.
In his view, only by admitting he was in the wrong towards Su Man, would his family show even more tolerance towards her.
What a big romantic fool!
"Chenchen, what’s your view on this matter?" Technically, such things shouldn’t be asked of an unmarried daughter, but seeing Ah Chen’s demeanor prompted Jiang Aiguo to ask anyway, almost involuntarily.
After asking, Chen Xiuying pinched him, "Chenchen is still a girl, what will she know how to solve? Did your brain short circuit today?"
After being scolded, Jiang Aiguo wasn’t angry.
Instead he argued, "What if she’s a girl? Girls should learn about these things to avoid being deceived."
Chen Xiuying, upon hearing, became speechless.
He had a point.
If our daughter faced such a situation, she might angrily break the other person’s leg. Some things shouldn’t be done for her sake.
Thinking that, she glared at Jiang Maohua again.
"What’s Chenchen’s view on this matter?" After asking, Jiang Aiguo didn’t plan to pass over it, he wanted his daughter to understand the lessons, to prevent being deceived and face irreparable consequences.
Ah Chen said, "My view is, is Su Man’s child really my second brother’s?"
Just break it all out, she’s not spreading rumors, and not willing to deal with Jiang Maohua and Su Man’s back and forth, Su Man indeed carried someone else’s child, planning for Jiang Maohua the ’simp’ to take over, without their intimate relations. This romantic fool willingly serves like a dog, but dragging the family into it is unacceptable.
Her words dropped, and the Jiang Family all widened their eyes. What?
They first glanced at Ah Chen, then quickly turned to Jiang Maohua, even the quietly observing Jiang Maochuan and his wife couldn’t help revealing shocked expressions.
Jiang Maohua wasn’t some weird monster, just early twenties, thinking he hid it well, impossible for anyone to notice something wrong. Suddenly broken by Ah Chen, naturally his expression couldn’t hold, tensed up, cold sweat broke out, seeing that demeanor, the family members all had a tacit understanding.
So the child Su Man carried wasn’t Second Brother’s?
Even Second Brother was aware of it?
"Little sister, who did you hear from?" Jiang Maohua settled his demeanor, furrowing his brow in displeasure, "It was my impetuousness, sorry to Su Man, how could you slander Su Man, a pure girl? Trained in high school, as a girl yourself, don’t you know how hurtful such words are to a girl? Let it spread from two villages, how do you expect Su Man to live?"
Ah Chen swept over the Jiang Family, their expressions varied, all directed towards Jiang Maohua, clearly not believing his words.
Besides Jiang Maohua, the family was quite normal.
If not for Jiang Maohua resembling Jiang Aiguo, people might suspect a mistaken child.
"Su Man’s child is Gu Lingfei’s." Ah Chen, not indulging this fool, dropped another bombshell, "I’ve seen them together."
Occasional little lies are harmless, as long as she doesn’t confess, who would know it’s fake?
Gu Lingfei indeed had affairs with Su Man.
Jiang Maohua’s eyes widened, excitedly blurting out, "Why didn’t you say before?"
Well, now the Jiang Family doesn’t need further evidence, just Jiang Maohua’s reaction made it clear to their understanding.
Thinking how Jiang Maohua wanted to accept this, the family’s expressions were indescribable.
They initially thought it was Jiang Maohua’s doing, planning to teach him a lesson.
But what actions he planned, even a lesson felt light.
