The fourth aunt and the maid rushed up to grab the box. Jiang Shuyao was pushed to the ground, holding the box on her stomach with both arms, and curled up into a ball.
They pinched her so hard that it hurt, but they didn't loosen their grip at all.
She must keep the three silver coins.
Mrs. Jiang had a headache: "Stop!"
No one in the room seemed to have heard. Finally, she got excited and picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground: "This is outrageous! I said stop!"
The women who were struggling together finally stopped, and the fourth aunt was the first to speak: "No! What are you going to do with a little girl with three silver coins! What money can she use!"
Jiang Shuyao's hand still didn't let go, like a little wolf looking at the people in the room warily: "Three yuan."
Mrs. Jiang came over and looked at her condescendingly: "I'll give you three silver coins, but you can't live in the Jiang family, and you can't mention the Jiang family in the future."
Jiang Shuyao felt cold in her heart. The eldest lady meant that she couldn't even be a servant.
As if reading her thoughts, Mrs. Jiang continued: "I thought you could get someone to help the Jiang family, even if you were a concubine. But it seems you didn't get anything yesterday. ...The girls of the Jiang family are all innocent. If news like this spreads out about you, it will bring shame to the ancestors of the Jiang family! I’ll give you three silver coins. Just pack your things and leave.”
The fourth aunt's eyes widened: "Where can she go when she leaves the Jiang family?"
Mrs. Jiang glared back, bent down and pulled Jiang Shuyao up: "Take them away on the count of three."
Jiang Shuyao opened the box, took out three silver coins, gritted his teeth tightly, and handed the box to Mrs. Jiang.
She couldn't cry. She promised her mother not to cry in front of others.
Jiang Shuyao packed up her things and slowly walked out of the door of the Jiang family's old house.
"Ayao, at least you called me mother. I will still help you find your marriage. If someone doesn't mind this, I will let people find you. Remember, don't say anything you shouldn't say, you don't want to Is your father unable to hold his head up because of you?"
Jiang Shuyao said nothing.
Without that these days, who would want her?
Should she be asked to marry an old bachelor with missing arms and legs, or... be sold directly to a building?
The courtyard door of the old house slowly closed, but the sounds inside were clearly audible.
"This damn girl is so worthless. Didn't sister say that everyone who went to eat there yesterday spent a lot of money?"
"Fortunately, she followed her mother's aloof temperament and didn't like to socialize. There are only a few people who know the third daughter of the Jiang family. Otherwise, this scandal would not have become known to everyone."
"Shut up and remember everything! The third young lady of the Jiang family has died long ago. Don't blame me for being rude if you spill the beans."
…
Jiang Shuyao didn't listen to the rest of the words.
She entered Jiang's family with her mother when she was five years old. Her mother taught her to be kind to others, to be patient and sensible, so she knows how to watch people's words and emotions better than ordinary people, and she also knows how to hide her edge.
But why?
Why is it that even though she has tried her best to please everyone and not cause them any trouble, they still can't tolerate her.
Jiang Shuyao walked aimlessly on the street. The sky was so vast, where should she go?
A boyish male voice shouted: "Jiang Shuyao!"
Jiang Shuyao's heart trembled and she quickened her pace, but the boy behind her didn't stop. He ran to catch up and blocked her: "We are all acquaintances, why are you running? Huh? Where are you going with these things on your back?"
Jiang Shuyao glared angrily: "Tao Ziliang, I'm not familiar with you, don't follow me! If you follow me again, I'll call someone."
Tao Ziliang smiled mischievously: "Jiang Shuyao, I just want to be friends with you."
"I don't need friends, and I don't want to be friends with you."
"Then who do you want to be friends with?" Tao Ziliang took a step forward, leaned in front of her and said coquettishly, "You don't want to be friends with me, but you want to be friends with Mr. Zhang, who you had dinner with yesterday?"
Jiang Shuyao's mind seemed to explode. How could he know about her going to the restaurant last night?
"Ha, I've seen it all. Are you very short of money? If you need money, you can accompany me. I have nothing but money. Besides, I promise that I will live better than that bald donkey."
"Rogue! Get away!"
Jiang Shuyao turned sideways and tried to pass by Tao Ziliang, but he grabbed her baggage.
In desperation, she could only shout: "Help! Someone is playing hooligan..."
"Jiang Shuyao, if you shout again, I will let everyone in the library know tomorrow that you go and sleep with the rich master."
Jiang Shuyao glared at Tao Ziliang angrily.
The library in Lincheng is basically filled with students from Lincheng University, and she is determined to be admitted to Lincheng University. She must not have any stain before going to school!
"Jiang Shuyao, you can go out if you don't want me to. You know that I have always liked you. Come and sleep with me tonight. After you stay with me, I will forget about this matter."
"Dreaming." Jiang Shuyao turned and left.
The bundle Tao Ziliang was holding was loosened and scattered on the ground. Several bellybands fell out, which made his eyes wide open.
Jiang Shuyao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly squatted down. Just as he was about to stuff the things on the ground into the bag, he touched his other hand.
Before she could react, Tao Ziliang quickly picked it up and raised it high, mocking: "Is this what you wear to seduce people?"
"Tao Ziliang, give it back to me." Jiang Shuyao is much shorter than Tao Ziliang and can't reach him even if he jumps.
"You can even sleep with that old guy Zhang Daguang, why don't you sleep with me? How much money he gave you, I will give you double! Three times! Five times?"
Jiang Shuyao felt that she was going crazy. People were coming and going on the street. They couldn't hear what was said, but the red bellyband was already attractive enough.
One hand easily took off the bellyband from behind Tao Ziliang, and a chilling voice sounded:
"Because the person she slept with was me."
