Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 257: The Pitiful Are Always Detestable in Some Way

That’s not entirely accurate to say.

After observing carefully, Jiang Ran discovered that this family of eight was divided into three levels.

The old lady, her son, and grandson were at the highest level.

Next were the daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Finally, there were the old lady’s three daughters.

Jiang Ran: "..."

Jiang Ran decisively looked away and stopped watching.

Just one look at the old lady, and it’s clear she’s extremely patriarchal, which is why the family has these three levels.

Such things were common in this era.

Not to mention now, even in the time Jiang Ran lived before entering the book, there were plenty of patriarchal people.

Lying in bed, Jiang Ran felt quite complicated in her heart.

She didn’t know what kind of luck she had. On her way to beishi, she met a family of four on the train.

And now, while heading home, she encountered this family of eight on the train.

Fortunately, she’s on the top bunk, so no matter how noisy this family becomes, it won’t affect her.

Just as Jiang Ran was thinking this, she felt the bed being banged loudly.

At first, Jiang Ran thought it was just the person on the lower bunk tidying up.

But soon, she heard the old lady’s voice.

"You, the woman on the top bunk, I’m talking to you! I know you’re not asleep; I just saw you looking down! Get up, I have something to tell you."

There was only one woman on the top bunk, and besides Jiang Ran, there was no one else.

Knowing it was about her, Jiang Ran sat up and looked down.

"Something up?" Jiang Ran asked.

The old lady nodded, "Of course, if I’m calling you, there’s something up. You just asked a pointless question."

Before Jiang Ran could say anything, the old lady continued, "Switch places with us and let my son sleep on the top bunk."

Jiang Ran: "???"

Is this old lady crazy?

What kind of nonsense is she saying?

Even if there was another reason to switch bunks, it shouldn’t be with this attitude!

Jiang Ran couldn’t be bothered to argue with the old lady and refused directly, "No."

Jiang Ran’s refusal was straightforward, but the old lady didn’t stop there.

"No? Why not? Do you not know what respecting the elderly and caring for the young mean? I’m speaking to you nicely, if you don’t listen, don’t blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran let out a cold laugh, "Rude? Well, I’d like to see how you plan on being rude."

The old lady probably didn’t expect Jiang Ran to have such a strong attitude.

After hearing Jiang Ran’s words, the old lady was furious, but she didn’t climb up herself. Instead, she directed her three daughters, "Go up and pull that obnoxious woman down, show her some respect..."

The old lady’s curses continued, and her three daughters, eager to try, began to climb up.

Watching the three climb up, Jiang Ran’s last bit of sympathy disappeared entirely.

There is often a reason to detest someone who seems pathetic—this saying holds some truth.

Just like these three, Jiang Ran used to feel sorry for them being enslaved by the old lady.

But seeing their vicious and ferocious expressions now, she just felt they were detestable.

Faced with such people, Jiang Ran certainly would not hold back.

As one woman climbed up the ladder and reached out to her, Jiang Ran firmly grabbed her wrist and twisted her arm towards her head.

Jiang Ran had great strength; if she really exerted all her power, the woman’s wrist could easily be broken.
