The reason is that with things going poorly nowadays, and with Jiang Xin as another mouth to feed at home, why shouldn't they take advantage of this situation?
Even though the Jiang parents had initially given their family quite a few benefits, after all, human greed has no bounds.
They only hope to demand more.
The appetite of Jiang Wan's family had long been overfed.
The matter of Jiang Xin's marriage was still unknown to Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, who were far away conducting business out of province.
Because the wedding was hastily arranged, Jiang Wan and her mother feared that, once exposed, Jiang's parents would come over to settle the score with them.
So, they planned to have the wedding smoothly done first, then it wouldn't be too late to speak out.
By then, when the rice was already cooked, even if Jiang Xin's parents found out, it would be pointless.
However, even after Jiang Xin and Fu Yu got married, Jiang Wan's family still felt it was best to keep this matter hidden for as long as possible.
At least not until Jiang Wan went to the capital city for college could there be any mistakes.
Best to hide it as securely as possible, to prevent complications from arising.
Luckily, Jiang Xin was easy to manipulate; just a slight threat, and she wouldn't dare tell her family.
So, when Jiang Wan came over today to ask for money, her mother specifically warned her repeatedly to threaten Jiang Xin a bit.
But they didn't know that Jiang Xin was no longer the person she used to be, one they could bully at will.
After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Jiang Xin was initially stunned, but once she realized it, she silently laughed.
She truly couldn't imagine how there could be someone so shameless in this world?
It's not enough to suck her blood, they even wanted to squeeze the last bit of usefulness out of her.
How is this any different from pinning someone down and humiliating them?
What she hates most in this life is being threatened by others!
Jiang Wan and the Jiang family behind her want to step on Jiang Xin's head, but they're still too naive.
Recalling what the original owner had gone through, Jiang Xin's eyes became enraged.
An intense anger burst out from her eyes.
She thought, if this was the end of the world, Jiang Wan's little life wouldn't have been spared long ago.
How could she still be babbling in front of her now?
Jiang Xin suppressed that restlessness in her heart, reminding herself that killing is against the law.
Under the eaves, one must bow their head.
She had just arrived and wasn't familiar with this area yet, so she couldn't expose too many flaws, otherwise, it would arouse suspicion.
Once she gained a foothold here, there would be plenty of time to deal with them.
By then, she would settle both old and new scores, but given her personality, she was never someone to suffer losses from the start.
So, Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at Jiang Wan and directly refused:
"Want money, want tickets?"
"Why don't you see how thick-skinned you are?"
"I'm not your meal ticket, why should I give the money my parents sent to support your whole family?"
Crazy!
Want to manipulate her? No way!
Did they really think she was as easy to bully as the original owner?
Jiang Xin refused without hesitation, then began to usher Jiang Wan out:
"Done talking? If not, you can leave now!"
"Don't be an eyesore around here, or believe it or not, I'll smack you!"
When she said "smack you," Jiang Xin's tone instinctively grew heavier.
After all, if pushed, she would indeed do it.
Jiang Wan was taken aback by Jiang Xin's words.
If she weren't inside the Fu family's house at this moment, she might actually think she had walked into the wrong house.
Is this the same Jiang Xin she knew, the easily bullied one?
Originally, Jiang Xin should have been scared to hand over the items her family sent right after hearing her demands for money and ration tickets.
Why is she daring to resist today?
Could it be that she thinks she's married and has someone to rely on?
Jiang Wan sneered, thinking to herself with Mrs. Fu's attitude just now; it didn't seem like she would treat Jiang Xin as her own daughter-in-law.
So Jiang Wan furrowed her brow and coolly reminded Jiang Xin:
"I advise you not to turn ignorant of the favors you're given, don't forget the good deeds you did."
"If your parents find out, they might disown you!"
"Then, truly, you would have no one to back you up!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xin was slightly startled.
In the original owner's memory, Jiang Wan used this to threaten the original owner all along.
Because the original owner was an obedient girl at home, rarely making mistakes or doing anything outlandish.
So after the incident with Fu Yu, what the original owner feared most was her parents finding out and not forgiving her.
That's why Jiang Wan and her family told her not to inform the original owner's parents about her marriage, and she agreed without hesitation.
Beyond that, she was controlled by Jiang Wan's family until now.
While recalling the original owner's memories, Jiang Wan was consistently watching her expressions.
Seeing her expression turn subtle, she thought the words she had just said intimidated Jiang Xin.
That's why Jiang Xin looked so lost.
With her mouth curving into a smirk, Jiang Wan illustrated her unstoppable arrogance.
She gave Jiang Xin an eye roll, speaking with a lofty tone:
"See? Now you're scared, aren't you?"
"If you're scared, hurry up and hand over the ration tickets and money."
"You know how much the Fu Family dislikes you, too. Your family isn't here, leaving you unprotected."
"Our Jiang Family lives right in this village, whether you admit it or not, if you're bullied in the future, we can help you."
"But… all of this can only happen if you hand over the ration tickets."
"If you don't, then in this village, nobody will back you up."
After finishing, Jiang Wan extended her hand towards Jiang Xin with a "give it here" gesture.
Seeing this shameless demeanor, Jiang Xin couldn't hold back any longer and directly grabbed a shoehorn from the cabinet, smacking Jiang Wan's hand hard.
With a loud "smack,"
followed by Jiang Wan's scream of pain:
"Ah!!!"
"Jiang Xin, how dare you!"
Jiang Wan never anticipated Jiang Xin would actually smack her out of nowhere.
She cried in agony, her face twisted, unable to hold back her screams.
Even shouting:
"Believe it or not, I'll complain to Aunt Fu and make sure you suffer!"
The eternal enemies of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even more so with Mrs. Fu's obvious displeasure with Jiang Xin.
If she went to complain, Jiang Xin would undoubtedly face consequences.
Jiang Wan was confident of this!
But Jiang Xin sneered at her words; she initially thought Jiang Wan was a top student from the provincial normal university.
However, after this encounter, she realized she was also quite clueless!
While it was true she hit Jiang Wan, the fact that Jiang Wan wanted to complain without thinking about why she got hit was quite ridiculous?
