At this moment, Jiang Qingyue felt that her nephew was embarrassing herself, and she rebuked him unhappily, "Panmei, be obedient and come with me to the Li family, and stop making trouble."
As she said that, she pried Jiang Panmei's fingers apart, grabbed his arm and pulled him out with force.
In fact, in this world, the power in women's bodies is not greater than that in men, but after a long period of training and domestication, men have a natural awe of women and dare not raise any resistance against them at all.
So, Jiang Panmei's fingers fell off the pillar one by one. His face was full of panic and anxiety, tears fell one after another, and his tone was anxious and fearful: "Grandma, aunt, I don't want to get married, so please let me stay. Mother..."
He looked towards the inner room, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Mom is sick, Grandma, I will get married after she gets better. Please give me two days, Grandma."
His mother is the only one in the family who truly loves him. If she were still alive, perhaps she would help him.
However, Jiang Qingyue was not moved at all. Her face showed deep impatience. She said unhappily, "Your mother has Qiumei and Laimei to serve her. Just go there with peace of mind. Don't let your mother worry about it anymore."
Old Madam Jiang saw through his thoughts at a glance and snorted coldly, "A useless person who can't even give birth to a girl. If Jiang Mingyue wasn't my daughter, I would have thrown her out long ago. You still want her to make decisions for you. Humph, don't say that your mother is still sick. Even if your mother was here, you would have to leave if I told you to."
Jiang Panmei's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and deep despair appeared in his eyes.
No one can save him, no one will come to save him.
Because...he is just a worthless boy!
Being a man is the greatest misfortune in his life.
Seeing that Jiang Panmei had given up resistance and had been dragged to the door by Jiang Qingyue, at this time...
Suddenly, a voice called "Fire" was heard in the yard.
Before, everyone was just watching the fun and didn't notice anything wrong.
When they heard that there was a fire, everyone began to smell a strange smell in the yard.
Then, taking a closer look, he saw thick smoke billowing from the roof of the house where Jiang Huiyue lived.
Jiang Huiyue is the third daughter of Old Lady Jiang and her darling. She is the most gifted student in the entire Jiang family and is the one that the whole family has high hopes for.
Because in this world, the first empress Jiang Wan once set a rule that any woman who passed the royal ability test could enter the royal library, which contained the first empress's most precious treasures. Everyone could try to find them, and everyone had the opportunity to receive the first empress's gift.
Although this treasure has not been discovered by anyone so far, most women who have entered the library will be well arranged by the royal family and will bring great honor and benefits to their families.
As a result, all the resources of the entire Jiang family were tacitly tilted towards Jiang Huiyue alone. Because Old Lady Jiang was sure that her third daughter could pass the royal ability test, naturally, all the things placed in Jiang Huiyue's room were good things.
When Jiang Huiyue's house caught fire, Mrs. Jiang's eyes turned red, and she didn't care about Jiang Panmei, who was a money-loser. She patted her chest and shouted to her eldest daughter, "Qingyue, don't care about that money-loser. Hurry up and call someone to put out the fire, put out the fire!"
Jiang Qingyue was so anxious when she saw that her third sister's house was on fire that she was sweating profusely. She quickly let go of Jiang Panmei's hand and asked the villagers for help, asking the men from each family to come back to put out the fire.
As for why the men were called back to put out the fire? Of course, it was because women were precious and could not risk their lives. But men were lowly and their death was not worth it.
However, as time went by, the fire in the house burned brighter and bigger.
After the men put out the fire one by one with buckets of water, Jiang Huiyue's house had been burned so that only the beams were left intact. Even Jiang Qingyue's house next door was affected to a certain extent, with the entire wall discolored by the burn.
Old Mrs. Jiang was so distressed that she cried. She kept repeating, "Why did it catch fire? Why did it catch fire? It's a good thing Huiyue is studying in the county town, otherwise she would be so distressed. I'm so angry..."
As she was reciting, she suddenly saw Jiang Panmei kneeling on the ground, and the anger in her heart immediately found a place to vent.
Old Madam Jiang walked up quickly, raised her foot and kicked Jiang Panmei in the chest, pointed at his nose and cursed: "It was you, a money-loser, who caused the trouble. I should have let you go a long time ago, but you didn't listen and delayed the auspicious time. This is why your third aunt has brought trouble."
Jiang Panmei covered his chest and stared at his grandmother in a daze. He didn't understand why his grandmother was always like this. Why did she always blame him and his brothers whenever something happened at home? It was obviously nothing to do with them.
"Men are lowly, and it's unlucky for people to look at them." When Mrs. Jiang saw that he dared to look at her directly, her anger grew stronger and she raised her foot to kick him again.
At this time, Jiang Qiumei and Jiang Laimei came out with Mingyue. Seeing this, Mingyue immediately shouted, "Mom, stop it."
Old Mrs. Jiang was startled. When she realized that it was her useless and useless second son, the fire in her heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of oil, and it burned even more fiercely with a "crackling" sound.
Then, in front of Mingyue, Old Lady Jiang kicked Jiang Panmei hard on the chin, dislocating his jaw and causing tears to flow immediately.
Jiang Panmei hung her head helplessly, without making a sound, even though she was clearly in so much pain!
Looking at her eldest son, who was already sixteen years old but as thin as thirteen or fourteen, like a dried monkey, Mingyue clenched her fists and felt extremely uncomfortable.
But Old Lady Jiang was more confident than Mingyue. Seeing Mingyue's bad expression, she became impatient: "Didn't you say you were sick? Why are you here to embarrass yourself instead of lying in bed?"
Mingyue took a deep breath and calmed down several times before she could say calmly, "I just came to ask about Panmei. I heard that mother wanted to marry him to Li the Pig Killer. But if I remember correctly, she is old enough to be Panmei's grandmother. I think this is inappropriate. Please think twice."
Old Mrs. Jiang was so angry that she laughed. She pointed at Mingyue's nose and scolded: "Are you questioning me? Questioning me for a money-loser?"
Mingyue lowered her head and said, "Panmei is your grandson after all. If he marries a bad woman, you will be embarrassed too."
Old Madam Jiang did not appreciate it and sneered, "A money-loser is not worthy of making me embarrassed. People like you who can't give birth to a daughter are the source of my embarrassment."
