Chapter 143 Attitude
Lady Jiang had always been dependent on the main branch of the family, and she was aware that she now thought there was no hope for Third Brother. She and the head of the family also didn’t value the third branch; Second Brother was consistently distant from the family’s affairs, and Fourth Brother was not yet married.
With Jinpan and Jinshao still young, for the sake of the two children, she could only try to follow the main branch without offending herself in the hopes that Jindou and the others would be able to help Jinpan and his brother in the future.
In her heart, she scoffed at Lady Jiang for being too naive and foolish. Given Lady Lin’s nature, seeing the entire Wang Family as belonging to their main branch, would the children they raised let the third branch take advantage of them?
She feared that Lady Lin was also calculating that, by having Eldest Brother occasionally bestow small favors upon the third branch, they would stand by the main branch during future divisions of the family estate.
What she didn’t realize was that in the family, the greatest threat to Eldest Brother wasn’t the third branch, but Second Brother.
Yet Lady Jiang was foolish, actually placing her hopes on others. If she couldn’t even rely on her own man, what was the point in expecting support from a sister-in-law of another branch? Dream on!
Old Granny Zhang had previously tried to incite the third branch to break away from the main branch, but Lady Jiang was too timid to offend anyone, always acting like a quail with its head tucked between its legs.
What had changed now that she actually wanted to switch over to her side?
Could it be a trick?
Nevertheless, Old Granny Zhang was not afraid; she wanted to see what the third branch and the main branch were really planning.
In any case, as long as Jinhua, the maid, intervened, she could still cause trouble for the main branch and Lady Lin.
