Jiang Tianhua and his wife were excited for half a day because of a text message from Jiang Hao.

After all, this was the first time Jiang Hao had taken the initiative to contact them since he ran away from home.

Jiang Tianhua did not hesitate.

He immediately took out his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan in cash to Jiang Hao's SIM card.

After forwarding the message, Jiang Tianhua took a screenshot and sent it to Jiang Hao.

……

After doing all this, Jiang Tianhua pressed the voice button and spoke cautiously.

"Xiao Hao, Dad has already transferred the money to you."

Please check your inbox.

"Consider this money your scholarship reward for getting into Tsinghua or Peking University! Buy whatever you want, it's okay if you spend it all."

"But, Xiaohao, if you run out of money, you should be less angry by now... So come home then, okay? Don't worry your parents."

Jiang Tianhua spoke very cautiously.

They were even afraid of angering Jiang Hao.

Li Yan immediately snatched the phone and said anxiously.

"Xiao Hao, be a good boy. Mommy will come back to apologize to you as soon as I've dealt with things here."

"Consider this 2 yuan as a way to help you relax. Haven't you always wanted to travel to Europe? As soon as you come back, Mom will take you to Europe next month, how about that?"

……

Even though Jiang Tianhua and Li Yan's tone was so humble and ingratiating.

However, Jiang Hao did not reply.

Seeing this scene, the people around felt even more disgusted with Jiang Tianhua and his wife!

Grandma Ke even tapped her cane, and only then did Jiang Tianhua and his wife realize that something was amiss.

After they realized what was happening,

Jiang Tianhua held up his phone and explained to everyone.

"Everyone, Xiao Hao has never suffered any hardship since he was a child, let alone run away from home or go hungry."

"He never asks me for money, so the fact that he's asking me for money now means he's really in trouble."

"He's my son, how can I not give him money?"

"Don't even mention 20,000, even if it were 50,000, I'd still give it to you!"

"How worried we parents must be when a sixteen or seventeen-year-old is wandering alone in a strange place with no money to his name."

"And I was also thinking that if Xiaohao took the money, went shopping, bought things, and went to the mall, maybe his mood would improve, and he would go home on his own."

……

No one paid any attention to Jiang Tianhua's explanation.

They were no longer interested in Jiang Tianhua's affairs.

Like Grandma Ke, everyone else had completely lost hope in Jiang Tianhua and his wife.

If they weren't Jiang Ye's guardians, the crowd would probably have kicked them out long ago.

Jiang Tianhua felt somewhat embarrassed when he realized that his heartfelt words had failed to move the crowd.

He touched his nose.

He didn't say anything more.

Li Yan has become extremely excited because of Jiang Hao's text message.

Since Jiang Hao's text message arrived, Li Yan's guilt towards Jiang Ye has lessened considerably.

She is now preoccupied with worrying about Jiang Hao.

Then how could they possibly have time to care about Jiang Ye?

……

Everyone continued reading the diary.

"I said goodbye to my great-grandmother and returned to Jiangzhou."

"I didn't go home, I just wandered around the streets of Jiangzhou."

"I don't know where to go, but I don't want to go home, and I don't want to face the Jiang family."

Seeing that Jiang Ye no longer called them parents, but instead referred to them as "the Jiang family," Jiang Tianhua and his wife felt a little uneasy.

But they didn't speak up.

To avoid making yourself uncomfortable.

……

Everyone continued reading the diary.

"After I get back to Jiangzhou, I plan to open a hotel, so at least I'll have a place to stay tonight."

"But when I checked my balance, I only had less than 30 yuan left."

"I suddenly realized that I haven't been spending money very carefully lately, and it seems like I've almost spent all the money I had on me."

……

"My grandmother passed away last year, and I left the countryside and came to Jiangzhou."

"Before my grandmother passed away, she was always worried about me, fearing that I wouldn't be doing well after I went to Jiangzhou."

"I remember that before my grandmother passed away, she specifically asked my father to call me into her room, and then asked everyone else to leave."

"Only she and I were left in the room."

"Grandma touched my head, her voice was weak but still kind and gentle."

Grandma took my hand and said, "Xiao Ye, go open the third shelf of the wardrobe. There's a hidden compartment there with a small bag inside. Take it."

"I did as instructed and received a small bag. It was a small cloth bag with two plastic bags wrapped around it."

"I showed this little cloth bag to my grandma, and she smiled and told me to open it."

"When I opened it, I found it was full of money!! A total of 33467.4 yuan!"

……

"You know, Grandma is just an ordinary rural old woman. She doesn't have a salary. Although the Jiang family will give Grandma some holiday money during the Spring Festival, it's only about five or six hundred yuan each time."

"Grandma's only income comes from farming and selling vegetables."

"Besides farming, my grandmother also ran a small vegetable garden. When she was alive, the garden was full of life. After she passed away, the garden was abandoned."

"Every three days, Grandma would take the harvested fruits and vegetables to the county town to sell. Each time she could earn fifty or sixty yuan. Grandma couldn't bear to take a bus, so she would carry the load on her shoulder and walk more than ten kilometers back and forth."

"This 30,000 yuan was saved up by Grandma from every single fruit and vegetable she ate!!!"

"I really don't know what kind of perseverance my grandmother had to save up tens of thousands of yuan from an income of a few dozen yuan every three days."

"This money was all saved by Grandma through frugality, penny by penny!!"

……

Seeing this.

Jiang Tianhua felt a little flustered again.

Everyone present turned their attention to Jiang Tianhua.

At this moment, Li Yan's expression also became somewhat unnatural.

Everyone stared at Jiang Tianhua, their eyes filled with anger.

I thought Jiang Tianhua was only being unfair to Jiang Ye.

Who would have thought that this guy would even disregard his own mother?

Is this even a human being?

……

Seeing the looks in everyone's eyes.

Jiang Tianhua hurriedly waved his hand.

Actually, it wasn't that Jiang Tianhua didn't want to take care of his mother.

It was because of Li Yan.

After Jiang Tianhua and Li Yan got married.

Li Yan's parents are locals from Jiangzhou, and they are closer to Li Yan.

Moreover, Li Yan is an only child, so she is quite attached to her parents' home.

What delicious food and drinks do you have at home?

First, give it to Jiang Hao, then send it to his maternal family.

……

After Jiang Tianhua sent Jiang Ye to the countryside,

At that time, Jiang Tianhua proposed to give his mother 2000 yuan a month for living expenses.

On the one hand, it is about being filial to one's mother.

On the other hand, this is a reward for the mother's hard work in taking care of Jiang Ye.

However, Li Yan flatly rejected this idea.

This is what Li Yan said at the time.

"Your mother is an old woman living in the countryside. She has no worries about food or drink. Why are you giving her so much money? There are so many scammers these days. Be careful that the old woman doesn't get scammed."

"Besides, is your salary very high now? You only make 8000 a month. We still need to save money to buy a house, cover daily expenses, and support my parents."

"Where would we get spare money for your mother?"

"Besides, when I was pregnant, my mom assured me that she would support us after the baby was born, help us take care of the child, and let us work hard."

"That's what she said herself. We're already under so much pressure, and you're still giving her 2000 a month? How can you live on that??"

After hearing Li Yan's words, Jiang Tianhua had no choice but to give up.

On the one hand, he didn't want to argue with Li Yan.

On the other hand, Jiang Tianhua felt that what Li Yan said made some sense.
