After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 174 - Complex Thoughts
Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Complex Thoughts
The family had finished their meal, and Jiang Changhe carried his daughter on his back on the way home, saying to Zhao Xiaojuan, “Brother lending us money at this critical moment is a kindness we must remember for a lifetime. As for the money, we can only pay it back slowly.”
Zhao Xiaojuan also said to Zhaodi, “You must remember too, your life was saved by your uncle.”
“Mhm.” Zhaodi nodded, as her parents had already said it twice during the meal.
She was not too surprised, since in her previous life, when her uncle’s family was happy, they would also give their second branch small favors.
But like her parents said, those twenty yuan saved her life, so she would repay it doubly in the future, be it two hundred or even two thousand.
Even though they had incurred a debt of ten yuan, the moods of Zhao Xiaojuan and Jiang Changhe were quite relaxed.
As long as they lived, money could always be earned back later.

Seeing them return, Zhang Guihua spoke with a sarcastic tone, “Oh, look who’s back, the precious young lady of our Jiang Family? How is it, is your illness cured?”
“Mom, Zhaodi was getting injections all night. The doctor said that it’s lucky we went early because it could have turned into pneumonia if we had been later,” Zhao Xiaojuan quietly explained.
Zhang Guihua’s face turned stern, “Tsk, pneumonia, you believe those doctors’ lies, they just want to scam your money! Tell me, how much did the treatment cost this time?”
Jiang Changhe replied in a low voice, “It cost over eight yuan.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Guihua’s eyes widened, and she started to curse loudly, “What? Over eight yuan? Have you gone mad? How could it possibly cost you over eight yuan? If you ask me, rubbing some white liquor on the body would have been enough, but you had to make a fuss and go to the hospital.”
The couple from the second branch didn’t make a sound and just stood there, letting her curse.
Zhaodi looked at the scene before her and thought of how her old lady came to her factory asking for money in her previous life, with the same ugly sneer, and she almost wished she could scratch her old face!
Fortunately, a last bit of rationality stopped her. She took a deep breath and suppressed that dangerous thought within her heart.
“Alright, what’s spent is spent, the main thing is that the person is fine.”
It was Jiang Dashan who finally spoke up to stop the old lady’s ranting, allowing the second branch to peacefully return to their room.
“Zhaodi, are you alright now?” Da Ya stepped forward, touched her sister’s forehead to see if the fever had gone down.
Zhaodi shook her head, “I’m fine, big sister, don’t worry.”
“We were really scared yesterday,” Er Ya said, her face showing the fear that lingered.
Although Laidi was young, she knew what had happened the day before, and she clung to Zhaodi’s clothes, refusing to leave her sister’s side.
Zhaodi, seeing the concern from her sisters, felt both bitter and upset.
Her sisters had also lived very pitiful lives in their previous existence.
Due to their grandmother’s greed for a higher dowry, her hardworking and capable eldest sister was married off to a much older widower in the next village, slaving away in the fields from dawn till dusk without even enough food to eat.
Her second sister’s husband had an affair with another woman from the village just a few years into the marriage, forcing Er Ya to divorce and take her child with her.
Laidi’s husband would beat her when he was drunk, causing her to miscarry two children.
Yet, even as they suffered so greatly, their grandmother would still come demanding money, causing a scene and playing the victim if she didn’t get it, leading to others pointing fingers and grumbling about their lack of filial piety as soon as they stepped outside.
How could she not resent and hate them for it!
Just then, because she was slow in dressing, Jiang Mianmian came in with an apple in her hand, “Zhaodi, how are you feeling?”
Looking at her fair and pretty little face, Zhaodi’s thoughts were extremely complicated.
