CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 171: TAKING TURNS

Mr. Jiang had a stern face, "Even after the family was divided, she is still your mother!"

"And you are still a daughter-in-law of the Jiang Family!"

"If you don’t take care of her, who will? Do you expect an old man like me to do it?"

Mrs. Chen sneered, "Father, that’s not what you said when the family was divided. If you considered me part of the Jiang Family, why didn’t you give me a single penny?"

"When you need me, I’m part of the Jiang Family?"

"But when dividing the silver, I’m an outsider. Ha, how can there be such a reason in this world!"

She picked up the carrying pole again and went to the kitchen, throwing back a sentence before entering, "I won’t do it. Just assume I’ve already remarried."

Mr. Jiang stood under the eaves, trembling with anger.

He suddenly felt that everything and everyone in this house was spiraling out of control.

The second brother, Jiang Rong, lost his son and now behaves recklessly, as if holding a grudge against the whole family, making his mother angry to the point of illness without a shred of guilt.

The second sister-in-law, no one knows if she truly can’t get up, or is just shirking her duties.

The third sister-in-law won’t tolerate any loss.

In this family, it seemed like everyone had grievances, and all those grievances were directed at the old couple.

He was so hungry his stomach was sticking to his back, yet he couldn’t even get a mouthful of food.

Mr. Jiang held back his anger and shouted, "Si Lang—"

Si Lang replied impatiently from inside the house, "What is it?"

Mr. Jiang said solemnly, "Go to Da Ya’s house and bring her back to take care of her grandmother for a few days."

Si Lang mumbled something and walked out.

Si Lang didn’t come back until almost noon.

He returned alone, angrily telling Mr. Jiang, "Da Ya’s husband’s family won’t let her come back, saying our family has bad conduct and might corrupt her."

Mr. Jiang finally couldn’t hold back and cried, stomping his foot hard, "Oh heavens, what sin have I committed for this family to turn out like this?"

Mrs. Zhou was still lying in bed unconscious. This morning’s medicine was boiled by Jiang Hua and fed by him.

The old lady had just wet herself again, leaving a stench of urine in the room, and he didn’t know how to change her clothes.

Mr. Jiang sobbed and cried for a while, then suddenly stood under the eaves and shouted, "Second and third sons, get out here!"

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you come too, let’s discuss your mother’s situation."

Mrs. Chen frowned inside the room and reluctantly went out after a while.

She entered the main room, where Mr. Jiang was sitting at the head, and Jiang Rong and Jiang Hua were also inside.

Mrs. Chen sat by the door and heard Mr. Jiang say, "You’ve all seen your mother’s current state."

"She definitely needs someone to take care of her."

"From today onwards, the eldest, second, and third daughters-in-law will each take turns, one day at a time, to brew and feed her medicine, and change her clothes."

"Second son, go and tell your wife that she must get up and do her share tomorrow. She can’t just lie there."

"Today it will be the eldest daughter-in-law’s turn."

"I’m telling you now, if anyone refuses, they’ll be kicked out of this family!"

"And they can forget about any inheritance!"

Mr. Jiang finished speaking and waved his hand, "Everyone go."

Jiang Rong and Jiang Hua quickly left.

Mrs. Chen stood up and said coldly, "Father, I’ll inform my family first, and then I’ll be over."

Mrs. Chen returned to the east wing to speak to Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi, then headed to the main room.

Upon entering, she was hit by the smell of urine.

Mrs. Chen rummaged through the chests to find Mrs. Zhou’s clothes, and fetched water to clean her.

In the evening, the Liu Family cooked dinner.

The next day, Mrs. Yang also got up from bed to cook and take care of Mrs. Zhou.

The order in the Jiang Family seemed to have returned to normal, except that Mrs. Zhou was still unconscious.
