Chapter 488: Chapter 488: Don’t Be Too Selfish
Jiang Changhe frowned as he looked at Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, what are you shouting about? Look how scared Yuanbin is. Your Uncle, your third uncle, and I are all biological brothers. What’s wrong with discussing this matter with them? When we conduct ourselves and our business, we can’t only think about ourselves—that would be too selfish."
He didn’t understand why Zhaodi had such a strong reaction, but as a father, it was his responsibility to teach his child well, so he spoke in a rarely stern tone, "Siblings should support each other to get through life better. Have you forgotten when you were ill before, and it was the main family that lent us money so we could take you to the doctor? Also, San Ya often gives your sisters candy to eat and nice clothes to wear. These are all acts of kindness, not entitlements. The main family has helped our family so much; we must never be ungrateful!"
"Biological brothers? Dad, are you really naive or just pretending? After all these years, do you still not realize what kind of people Uncle’s family are? Uncle is nothing but a deceitful, heartless miser. You treat him like a true brother, but he doesn’t regard you as one. He has so much money, and yet he gives our family so little. You remember these small favors so clearly and are so grateful."
However, Zhaodi, whose spirit had been distorted by poverty, couldn’t take in a word, "If Uncle truly regarded you as a brother, all he needed to do was mention it to Yu Cheng and he could have gotten you a job at the transport factory. Then you wouldn’t have to exhaust yourself in the fields everyday for those meager work points! But did he say anything? Now that he knows about the ginseng, our family will surely be devoured by him. Will we even see any money from selling those ginseng roots?"
The more she spoke, the more her anger flared, as if it would burst forth from her chest, "That Jiang Changhai—"
"Slap!"
Jiang Changhe, seeing Zhaodi speak more and more outrageously and even daring to call Jiang Changhai by his name, was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Zhaodi.
Zhao Xiaojuan was startled to see him hit Zhaodi.
She knew well the strength of Jiang Changhe’s hand and, frightened, quickly moved to shield Jiang Yuanbin from Zhaodi, fearing he would hit the children again.
"Changhe, let’s talk this out, please don’t resort to violence," she pleaded.
Although Jiang Changhe didn’t dote on his daughters like Jiang Changhai did, he had never hit them before.
Zhaodi was stunned by the slap, her ears ringing and her eyes quickly reddening.
In a hysterical cry, "I hate you all," she covered her face and ran out.
Da Ya and the others were initially unsure how to react to the argument between Jiang Changhe and Zhaodi, but seeing Zhaodi slapped and running out, they wanted to follow and comfort her.
Little did they think, just a few steps out, they were halted by an angry Jiang Changhe, "All of you come back here! Don’t go after her. Let her reflect on how inappropriate it is to speak about her elders like that."
Da Ya and the others didn’t dare defy Jiang Changhe’s order, and although worried, they paused, looking outside.
"It’s okay, Changhe, don’t be mad. Zhaodi is just immature, she can’t see the bigger picture right now. Don’t be upset," Zhao Xiaojuan quickly tried to comfort him as she saw him breathing heavily in anger.
"The child is just too thoughtless," Jiang Changhe said angrily.
Zhaodi, covering her burning cheek, ran to the riverside and quietly wept for a long while, feeling both angry and aggrieved.
Her father really didn’t know what was good for him, completely lacking discernment!
