While washing her hands, Meng Wanqiu's gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Muyan's hands, and her eyes instantly reddened—the calluses on Muyan's hands were definitely not something that had been formed in just one or two years.
Jiang Muyan noticed her gaze, but it was too late to hide it. These calluses were left by the original owner, and they had improved a lot in the past period, but it would take some time for them to disappear completely.
Looking at the calluses, Meng Wanqiu felt as if her heart was being repeatedly struck by a blunt instrument, the pain making it hard to breathe. She couldn't imagine how much hardship her daughter had endured and how much work she had done over the years to leave such marks.
At this moment, she felt an even stronger hatred for Jiang Chuyao's biological parents, and she also felt an indescribable aversion and estrangement towards Jiang Chuyao.
If they hadn't maliciously switched the children back then, Mu Yan should have grown up in the warm sunshine of Beijing, pampered by the Jiang family, never having to lift a finger. She wouldn't have suffered like this.
Meng Wanqiu felt more and more heartbroken. Why was it that the child of that bad person could be pampered and raised in the Jiang family, while her own daughter had to suffer like this?
Meng Wanqiu even considered kicking Jiang Chuyao out of the Jiang family immediately, but when she thought of Old Madam Jiang's love and protection for Jiang Chuyao over the years, a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes.
During the meal, Meng Wanqiu remained silent, but kept putting food on Jiang Muyan's plate.
"Muyan, eat more, you're so thin!"
"Mom, you don't know, when Mu Yan first came here, she was much darker and thinner than this." Jiang Xiechuan said, then suddenly realized that these days, he had been working in the fields frequently, and his younger sister had not only not gotten tanned, but had actually become much fairer.
However, that family had indeed treated Mu Yan very badly. Thinking of this, he looked at his father and said, "Dad, what about Jiang Chuyao's biological parents? We should sue them and make them pay the price."
At this moment, Jiang Muyan, upon hearing Jiang Xiechuan's question, couldn't help but become curious about it as well.
Before she came to Heilongjiang Province, the talismans she cast on that family were enough to bring them bad luck for a while!
Upon hearing his son's question, Jiang Mingqian's expression turned serious: "The information I obtained through my comrades is that that family has already obtained a letter of introduction to go to Beijing. We have also secretly asked someone to investigate their true whereabouts."
As Jiang Mingqian spoke, he looked at Jiang Muyan and said earnestly, "In short, as long as we catch the perpetrators, we will definitely bring them to justice and make them pay the price for what they did back then."
Jiang Muyan remained silent. She was not the original owner of this body; the original owner had already lost her life because of that family, and she would find a way to get revenge for everything the original owner had suffered.
However, the time is not yet right, and she is slowly waiting for that opportunity to arrive!
"That's how it should be! Why should that bad guy get away with it after committing the crime? Why should his daughter continue to enjoy life in our family? It's just too unfair!"
Jiang Xiechuan paused here, then looked at his parents again:
"Mom and Dad, you're not going to let Jiang Chuyao stay in the Jiang family any longer, are you? You know, it was Jiang Chuyao's biological parents who made my sister suffer so much, and Jiang Chuyao did such things to my grandparents. Are you still going to forgive her?"
When Meng Wanqiu first saw the calluses on her daughter's hands, she had the idea of kicking Jiang Chuyao out.
She couldn't bring herself to continue to tolerate and take in Jiang Chuyao after her parents had done such a hurtful thing to their daughter. Moreover, the fact that Jiang Chuyao had treated the two elderly people so badly back then remained a deep-seated resentment in her heart.
Some time ago, I chose to give her a medical check-up and surgery because I always thought she was my biological daughter, so I chose to forgive her.
It now seems that Jiang Chuyao's problem wasn't with her education, but rather that she was fundamentally flawed.
No wonder she and Jiang Chuyao could never get close. At first, she thought it was because Jiang Chuyao hadn't grown up by her side, but now it seems that's not the case!
However, it was Old Madam Jiang who raised Jiang Chuyao, and she could foresee that Old Madam Jiang would be reluctant to let Jiang Chuyao leave.
She had already decided that even if Old Madam Jiang did not agree to Jiang Chuyao leaving, she would publish a statement in the newspaper declaring that she had no further relationship with Jiang Chuyao.
Furthermore, we will expose what Jiang Chuyao's parents did to the public and give our daughter justice.
Thinking of this, she looked at her husband, wondering how he would respond. If he was worried about Old Madam Jiang, then she would raise her children alone from now on!
Jiang Mingqian seemed to see the determination in his wife's eyes, and gave a helpless, bitter laugh.
Then, he began to state his intentions:
"Jiang Chuyao really can no longer stay in the Jiang family, but how to deal with her still needs to be carefully considered."
His concern was that Jiang Chuyao's biological parents had not yet been found. If he rashly kicked her out, outsiders would only accuse the Jiang family of being heartless and ungrateful, and would instead pity Jiang Chuyao.
He needs to find a way that satisfies both sides!
Meng Wanqiu understood her husband's meaning, and the resolute look in her eyes faded somewhat.
Just as she was about to say something to her daughter, she heard Jiang Muyan say, "Don't kick Jiang Chuyao out yet."
Jiang Xiechuan disagreed, looking at Jiang Muyan with a puzzled expression: "Little sister, why? If it weren't for her and her parents, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Jiang Muyan raised her eyes, her gaze clear as she looked at everyone, and said frankly:
"As long as Jiang Chuyao stays in the Jiang family, the culprit who maliciously switched the children back then will come looking for her sooner or later."
"How did you know..." Jiang Xiechuan was about to ask when he suddenly remembered Mu Yan's metaphysical abilities, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
It seems his sister had already foreseen the subsequent events; she was deliberately keeping Jiang Chuyao alive to lure the culprit into a trap. Fine, he'd reluctantly wait for the perpetrator to come knocking, and then he'd kick Jiang Chuyao out of the Jiang family.
Meanwhile, a hint of approval flashed in Jiang Mingqian's eyes. Actually, he had the same plan. He suddenly felt that his daughter was more like him, possessing a calm and calculating wisdom hidden deep within her. Hehe! He was growing to like his daughter more and more; what to do!
Meng Wanqiu also figured out the crux of the matter. Although she was somewhat unhappy about letting Jiang Chuyao stay in the Jiang family for a while longer, it was also good that the perpetrator had come to their door on his own initiative.
She exchanged a glance with Jiang Mingqian, their eyes meeting in understanding, then looked at Jiang Muyan and said softly, "Okay, we'll do it your way. But child, you'll come back to Beijing with us!"
Meng Wanqiu still didn't want her daughter to stay here and suffer.
Jiang Muyan gave Meng Wanqiu a gentle smile, her tone firm yet reassuring:
"Don't worry, these farm chores are nothing to me! Besides, I still have things I want to do here, I can't just leave like this."
Jiang Xiechuan seemed to understand his younger sister's plan. The two times those red armband-wearing women had come, his sister had scared them away with her mystical arts! This method was much wiser than resorting to force!
My little sister wants to stay and protect her grandparents!
Jiang Muyan added, "Besides, Xie Chuan and I have been learning from Grandpa Zhou. Grandpa Zhou is very knowledgeable, and we can learn a lot from him. I want to learn from him for a while longer and don't want to give up halfway."
