Zhang Lian, seeing this, said with a face full of mockery, "You gave birth to a daughter, who will support you in your old age? You're arrogant now, but you'll be miserable later."
The daughter-in-law snorted disdainfully, "You don't need to worry about me, my good fortune is yet to come."
These words proved prophetic; her good fortune indeed lay in the future.
In many novels and TV dramas that emphasize human kindness and beauty, the final outcome is often that good people are rewarded and bad people are punished.
Unfortunately, the reality is the exact opposite of what we imagine.
Money flows to those who have it, love flows to those who are loved, and hardship flows to those who can endure it best.
As the saying goes, "The thinnest rope is the one that breaks, and misfortune always finds the most unfortunate."
Yet, those who have truly done wrong and committed evil can have a good start and a good end, enjoying all the wealth and status in the world.
As a real-life version of "Xia Jin Gui," Jiang Tianbao's wife was undoubtedly a wicked woman; she was unfilial to her in-laws, acted recklessly, and turned the entire in-law family into a mess.
Any family would sigh, "The family is unfortunate, truly unfortunate!" when faced with such a troublesome daughter-in-law.
Yet, this wicked shrew would have endless fortune and enjoy a enviable old age.
And the one who brought her this fortune was precisely the "good-for-nothing, dead girl" that Jiang Jianguo and Zhang Lian despised for being born a girl.
This daughter was pampered from childhood, yet she did not become arrogant. On the contrary, she was an extremely intelligent and spirited young girl.
She always ranked first in every subject at school, and at the college entrance examination, she scored nearly seven hundred points, getting into Tsinghua and Peking University, becoming the "child from another family" that everyone in the village spoke of.
This girl fell in love with a boy during university, and they later successfully entered into marriage.
As this boy was an orphan with no parents, who grew up in an orphanage and longed for family affection, he brought Jiang family's wicked daughter-in-law to live with them after marriage, and treated her as his own mother, showing filial piety.
No one would have expected that this bad daughter-in-law, who was wicked throughout the village and infamous in her youth, would have such a comfortable old age without a son to rely on.
This made the married women in the village with sons extremely envious.
This wicked shrew had done so many bad things when she was young, mistreated her in-laws, and was abusive to her husband. Shouldn't she have faced retribution in her old age? How could she have such great fortune?
Heaven is blind, truly blind!
Thus, amidst the envious gazes of the entire village, the wicked daughter-in-law got into the million-dollar luxury car bought by her daughter and son-in-law's successful venture, driving away to a happy old age.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jianguo and Zhang Lian, who favored sons over daughters, had been angered to stroke by the wicked daughter-in-law many years prior, leaving them paralyzed, incontinent, and unable to enjoy any blessings. They died in despair, filled with resentment and regret.
Of course, that is all in the past.
...
Meanwhile, Jiang Ling returned from Liuyun Media and plopped onto the sofa, her expression grim.
Although she had resisted the pressure this time and retaliated against the moral blackmail from Jiang Tianbao and the others.
The repeated troubles had made her extremely disgusted.
She had always been one not to suffer in silence; since Jiang Jianguo's family dared to provoke her, she had to make them taste some bitterness.
What method could she devise to disgust them?
Jiang Ling leaned back on the sofa, deep in thought.
Sister Sa couldn't help but say, "After today's events, I'm sure those extraordinary people know your strength. They understand that continuing to fight with you will only lead to suffering, so they probably won't come again."
Jiang Ling said, "I'm not worried about them coming back."
