Chapter 180 Falling apart
Seeing that Zhang Susu's five brothers were really going to forcibly cut off his finger, Jiang Yangxu had no choice. He asked his wife, Qin Yulian, to call the family doctor, and then picked up the blunt knife next to him, aimed it at his little finger, gritted his teeth, and cut it off hard.
"hiss……"
Because the knife was very dull, Jiang Yangxu's first attempt to cut was not very deep; it only broke the skin and flesh.
Even so, he was in so much pain that he gasped for breath and almost fainted, and he loosened his grip on the knife.
Qin Yulian couldn't bear to watch any longer, her eyes filled with tears as she shook her head and said, "Yang Xu, don't cut it..."
Madam Zhang sneered, "If he won't cut it, then you'll cut it for him! You're husband and wife, birds of a feather, you can share both good and bad times!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yulian choked up. Looking at the blunt knife in her husband's hand, she couldn't imagine how painful it would be if it cut her own hand.
She loved her husband and couldn't bear to see him suffer so much, but she didn't have the courage to take his place and suffer the same pain!
Jiang Xing originally wanted to step forward and say that he would cut the meat for his father, but when he tried to lift his leg, he remembered that he had already ruined one of his legs.
If he loses another finger, his body will be truly ruined!
He eventually gave up on the idea.
Qin Yulian suddenly thought of something, looked up at Jiang Yonghe who had been silent next to Jiang Xing, and said eagerly, "Yonghe, how about you cut a finger for your father?"
Jiang Yonghe froze. If it weren't for the mask covering her face, her expression would have looked incredibly bad to everyone present.
how about it?
What's up?
Does this old woman even know what she's saying?! She actually wants her to replace Jiang Yangxu and cut off a finger!
Jiang Youli scoffed but remained silent. All it took was cutting off one of Jiang Yangxu's fingers for their family to fall apart so quickly.
It's ridiculous.
Qi An'an couldn't help but complain: "Hey, didn't I hear you guys dote on your adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe? Otherwise, you wouldn't have given up your own daughter for her! Now all you want is one of your husband's fingers, why make your adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe take his place! Jiang Yonghe is so young, while your husband is already a middle-aged man. Making the young suffer for the old doesn't seem like a good deal at all!"
Jiang Youli chuckled and commented, "That's quite annoying."
Qi Huan also laughed and said, "An'an, if you can talk, then talk more."
"No problem! Huan-ge!" Qi An'an proudly gave an OK sign. Her purpose was to help her cousin-in-law make things difficult for Jiang Yangxu's family, so of course she had to fulfill her role!
With tears welling up in her eyes, Qin Yulian glared fiercely at Qi An'an, "Our family matters are none of your business!"
Qi An'an shamelessly said, "So what if I'm commenting? It's none of your business."
Qin Yulian felt a tightness in her chest from anger.
Seeing that Jiang Yonghe didn't respond, Qin Yulian ignored Qi An'an and continued urgently, "Yonghe, Dad and I raised you for so long, shouldn't you repay your father? It's just a finger, it won't affect you in any way..."
crazy!
What do you mean by saying that just one finger won't affect anything?
This had a huge impact on her, a young and beautiful girl!
Unlike Jiang Yangxu, a middle-aged man, losing a finger really doesn't affect him much!
At this moment, Jiang Yonghe was torn about whether to continue using the tactic of feigned retreat to gain sympathy, as she had done before. She was worried that if she really agreed to take her adoptive father Jiang Yangxu's place and cut off her finger, Jiang Yangxu would actually agree, and then she would have no room for regret.
She tugged at her lips, "Mom, I..."
Before Jiang Yonghe could finish speaking, Jiang Xing said, "Mom, Xiaohe has already suffered enough. Because of the poison in her body, her appearance is already ruined and hasn't healed yet. How can you bear to let her suffer the pain of having her finger cut off..."
Hearing Jiang Xing speak up for her, Jiang Yonghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yulian was surprised that her eldest son would side with his adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe in this matter, and said in disbelief, "Xing'er, how can you bear to see your father suffer?"
Jiang Xing was speechless.
He genuinely felt it wasn't worth it to have his adopted sister take his place!
Jiang Yonghe was terrified that she would really be forced to cut off one of her fingers for Jiang Yangxu, so she decided to take a gamble and said, "Mom, I can give Dad one of my fingers, but... I don't think Grandma Zhang and the others will accept it..."
As she spoke, she looked at Old Master Zhang, Old Madam Zhang, and their five sons, hoping that they only wanted to find the real kidnapper of Zhang Susu to take revenge, rather than wasting their energy on her.
Madam Zhang looked at her daughter, Zhang Susu, and asked for her opinion.
Zhang Susu then looked at Jiang Youli and asked for her opinion.
Jiang Youli shook her head. She did not intend to let Jiang Yonghe take Jiang Yangxu's place and suffer this pain. She would deal with Jiang Yonghe after Jiang Zhao woke up.
Once they learn Jiang Yonghe's true colors from Jiang Zhao, Jiang Yangxu's family will definitely regret their initial choice. They will blame Jiang Yonghe for their current predicament and be so angry that they will take matters into their own hands to deal with her for causing their current situation.
At that point, Jiang Yonghe's situation will likely involve more than just losing a finger.
Madam Zhang understood immediately and refused, saying, "That's right, we only want one of your fingers, not a foster daughter! Her fingers won't quell our hatred!"
"Stop dawdling! If you don't cut off your finger soon, we brothers will do it for you!" Zhang Jingwei, the eldest son of the Zhang family, urged impatiently.
The second brother, Zhang Jingzhi, also said, "Hurry up! We don't have the patience to watch you two fight like dogs! If you want to fight, wait until we leave and then you can fight yourselves!"
There was nothing more she could do. Qin Yulian looked at her husband with a pained expression and fell silent.
Jiang Yangxu no longer had the courage to lay a hand on himself, so he took the knife and handed it to his son, saying, "Jiang Xing, come and cut it for me."
Jiang Xing was stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, he stepped forward, hesitantly took the bloodstained knife, and hesitated for a long time before finally cutting into the spot that had just been cut, under the constant urging of the Zhang family.
Qin Yulian turned her face away, unable to bear looking at the scene any longer.
Then, because the knife was too dull, the cut still failed to sever Jiang Yangxu's finger, and Jiang Yangxu was already in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat and his face was contorted.
Qi An'an said disdainfully, "Ugh, are you two grown men even capable? You can't even cut a finger!"
Unable to help, Qin Yulian could only yell, "Can't you just shut up?!"
Qi An'an shook her head, "No, you can't control me anyway."
Qin Yulian was so angry that she trembled.
At this moment, Jiang Youli suggested, "If you really can't cut it, then just smash it with something."
Qi Huan praised, "Little Li'er is so thoughtful!"
Jiang Youli said with a wicked smile, "Of course, after all, he's my second uncle."
Is this thoughtful? This is clearly gloating! Qin Yulian felt increasingly suffocated, but she really couldn't control Qi An'an right now, let alone deal with Qi Huan and Jiang Youli, so she could only swallow her anger.
Jiang Xing didn't want to see her father suffer so much, so she followed Jiang Youli's advice, went back to the TV cabinet drawer, found a small hammer, took a deep breath, and smashed it down on the knife.
"what--!"
Screams filled with endless fear and pain echoed throughout the living room.
With a crisp "snap," Jiang Yangxu's little finger was severed from his hand, accompanied by his heart-wrenching screams of pain.
Blood gushed out instantly, staining the tabletop red.
