They barely managed to restrain White Aunt.
White Uncle then turned to Professor Jiang.
“Brother-in-law, look at this mess…”
Who would have thought, Professor Jiang looked like a man completely satisfied with his wife in charge, smiling as he said, “I can’t handle these matters. You know our family has always been led by the children’s mother.”
White Uncle’s expression stiffened for a moment.
White Madam smiled coldly, neither warm nor polite.
“Brother, just say what you came here for. If it’s about that woman, you can leave.”
White Uncle sighed. “There actually is something.”
Just as expected.
The siblings said nothing, watching with wide eyes, ready for drama.
“Xiu Xiu is about to start university. I’m a bit short on money right now and don’t want her to suffer, so I came to borrow some from you.”
“How much?”
“Aiya, sister, I knew you wouldn’t ignore Xiu Xiu. We grew up together after all. Back then when there wasn’t enough meat, I even secretly saved the last piece for you…”
White Madam rolled her eyes internally.
Heh. He “saved” the last piece of meat? He clearly finished a full bowl himself, and the last piece had already fallen on the floor and gotten dirty—then he gave it to her. Did he think she was blind?
“Enough. How much do you want?”
“Not much. Just 500,000.”
Five hundred thousand. “Not much.”
What kind of university costs that much?
The siblings sitting beside her were stunned. This family really was getting more and more shameless.
Jiang Liang glanced at White Madam, then quickly typed something on her phone and sent a message.
Ding.
White Madam glanced at the message. In just a few seconds, her expression changed drastically.
She looked at White Uncle.
“If all of us were trapped somewhere and food wasn’t enough, and someone had to starve, who would you give the food to?”
White Uncle froze for a second, then looked up.
Everyone stared at him—including White Aunt and her daughter, waiting to hear who he would abandon.
“I don’t need to eat. Give the food to the three children first. You and brother-in-law can eat too.”
So in the end, the ones to be sacrificed would be himself and his wife?
How hypocritical.
White Aunt’s eyes widened in fury as she stared at him.
White Madam clapped lightly.
“Good answer. I can give you the money, but I have one condition.”
She pointed at White Aunt.
“I don’t want to see this woman. Divorce her and send her back to the countryside. Then I’ll give you 500,000—no, 1 million.”
“Little sister…”
“You can also choose to disappear yourself, and let your daughter go to university instead.”
White Uncle’s expression turned extremely stiff. The whole family looked ugly.
“Choose now. I’ll transfer the money immediately.”
“I’ll divorce her!”
He made his decision quickly, believing he could get the money first and then bring her back later.
“White Zhi Guang! What did you just say?!” White Aunt stood up, eyes bloodshot.
“You shameless bastard—you actually want to divorce me! I worked like a slave for you for years, and this is how you repay me?”
“I’m telling you, he didn’t come here for tuition money at all! He gambled and got into debt! He’s trying to use you to cover his losses!”
The two of them immediately started fighting in front of everyone.
Jiang Liang looked at her mother. White Madam shook her head helplessly.
The message Jiang Liang sent earlier told her that in the previous life, it was White Uncle who drove them out, and White Aunt who carried it out. Neither of them had any guilt.
Her daughter was worried she might soften her heart.
But White Madam was already clear-minded. Even without that message, she wouldn’t have softened—she would have dealt with them harshly.
Now it was even better—they destroyed themselves.
After they finished fighting and were covered in injuries, White Madam used a stick to personally drive them out.
After they left
With the unpleasant guests gone, it was time for dinner.
Jiang Liang had vented fully and felt extremely refreshed.
Jiang Ran quietly said, “Sis… you were better before.”
Jiang Liang: “?”
“You’re lucky the apocalypse hasn’t come yet. I might take you to get your eyes checked.”
She seriously doubted her brother’s aesthetic sense.
“That old bastard was staring at you in such a disgusting way. What if someone outside targets you?”
Jiang Ran sighed deeply. At a young age, he was already worried about protecting his overly beautiful sister.
Jiang Liang looked at him like he was an idiot.
“I’m not stupid. I’ll wear a mask, dress ugly—whatever works.”
Jiang Ran still looked worried.
“I think… you might have a hard time finding a boyfriend.”
“?”
“There’s probably no man worthy of you. Any man who sees you will feel inferior.”
Jiang Liang: “!!!”
She couldn’t help but grab his cheeks and squeeze them.
“My sweet little brother, how are you so good at talking?”
“Don’t be obsessed with your brother. I’m just your only brother.”
“What do you want to eat?”
“Dumplings!”
“Alright, dumplings it is.”
They had stocked a huge amount of supplies—even 100 jin of dumpling wrappers, enough for over 200 meals.
They prepared the filling: minced pork, ginger, scallion juice, vegetables, soy sauce, seasoning… mixed into a huge basin of filling.
Everyone started wrapping dumplings at the large table.
The results were obvious at a glance—who made which dumplings.
White Madam’s were perfect and tightly sealed. Professor Jiang’s were all messy and leaking.
As for Jiang Liang, hers were fine—but Jiang Ran said:
“Sis, your dumplings are even more beautiful than the ones you make!”
As expected, her brother could only behave for a short time.
Jiang Ran’s dumpling style, however, was the most elegant of all.
Jiang Liang had no rebuttal, so she simply kicked him under the table.
Compliments were allowed—comparison was not.
Soon the dumplings were cooked, filling the room with an irresistible aroma.
Four large plates of dumplings were served, along with two roasted ducks from the space.
It was a satisfying meal.
But they didn’t know—
the crisis had already arrived ahead of schedule.
