Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Jiang Qiao suddenly thought of a question, "Brother Song, who gave this child the jade pendant, and what exactly happened?"
Song Shutian sighed, "Our director said that this is a family heirloom, given to him by his father. Because the child was born with poor health, he gave the family heirloom jade pendant to this grandson, hoping that the child's health would improve. Who would have thought that instead of improving his health, the child would die?"
"family heirloom?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qiao's heart, which had sunk to the bottom, was suddenly filled with hope again. It was true that it was her second brother's jade pendant. If it was a family heirloom, then could this person be her second brother from her previous life?
However, upon further reflection, Jiang Qiao felt somewhat dejected. How could she reunite with her second brother? She was no longer the Jiang Qiao of her past life.
Song Shutian was so engrossed in studying the little boy that no one noticed Jiang Qiao's emotional change. The person in her arms at that moment was actually her grand-nephew. Tell me, her identity is really quite awkward.
"It's good that we found it; we've done a good deed."
Jiang Qiao gave a bitter smile. It was more than just doing a good deed; that was her own second brother's grandson, her own nephew.
After calming down, I continued teaching my child to spell. I don't know if the little guy's intelligence came from his family, his maternal grandparents, or if he was just naturally gifted, but in just one afternoon, he could actually spell.
Seeing the pinyin letters written on the paper, Jiang Qiao slowly wrote out the Chinese characters.
Upon seeing the above content, not only Jiang Qiao, but even Song Shutian looked tense.
"I was poisoned and rendered mute. It was my mother who did it, and she used the very things you guys were using."
Song Shutian looked at the little boy with a serious expression, "Can you tell your uncle where your mother is, and where your home is?"
The child continued writing pinyin on the paper, and Jiang Qiao continued to help translate. When Song Shutian saw the address and name on it, he couldn't sit still anymore.
Jiang Qiao grabbed him as he tried to run away, saying, "What's the rush? Have you forgotten how Song Yuzhu ran away? This time, we need to stay calm."
Little friend, can you tell us how you came out? Did you run out, or did your mother throw you out?
The little boy continued writing, "I ran away secretly while she was out at work. I came by train with someone."
Jiang Qiao patted her grand-nephew's head. Although the scene was somewhat incongruous, only she knew in her heart that this was a descendant of the Jiang family.
"Alright, hurry up and call to inform the people. This time, change your approach. Don't just arrest her as soon as you arrive. Keep an eye on her and see who she's been in contact with."
Song Shutian gave Jiang Qiao a thumbs-up, then hurriedly ran back into the house, grabbed the package containing the radio, and ran out again.
Wen Songtao gave a wry smile. "Sigh, it's not easy to do this kind of work. You really can't do it without good physical strength. It's good to be young. I didn't see the young man getting tired even after all that running around."
Jiang Qiao smiled, lowered her head and asked the little boy his name. The little guy pursed his lips and spelled out the pinyin of his name.
"Fang Ming?"
Jiang Qiao didn't know which name it was, so she could only call it that. She figured that when her nephew came to pick him up, he would definitely change the child's name.
Touching the little guy's face, she felt very complicated. What would his parents do if they knew that his second brother was still alive?
When Gu Zhengfeng returned for dinner, he learned about the little guy's background. "My God, you just picked him up casually and he has such a story. I don't know whether to say you are lucky or this child is lucky. Oh well, no matter what, it's good that the child will have parents to love him in the future."
As Jiang Qiao served the food, she said, "Dad, please mail some packages tomorrow. I guess everyone's situation isn't much better. I exchanged a lot of things today, so please mail some to them."
Although Wen Songtao didn't know who his son-in-law's friends were, he agreed with his granddaughter's suggestion.
“I think it’s a good idea. Don’t let the distance weaken our relationship. We should still keep in touch. Don’t be afraid of those little things. If you don’t have enough money, Dad has some.”
Gu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Dad, look at what you're saying. How could I not have this little bit of money? Not to mention my wife and me, Qiao'er earns quite a lot on her own. Let's eat quickly."
Gu Zhengfeng was worried that the child would be embarrassed, so he sat down next to Fang Ming and helped him pick up food.
"Don't be shy when you're at your uncle's house. Help yourself to whatever you want to eat. Don't be embarrassed. It's the most important thing to eat your own food. Going hungry is not the behavior of a man."
Fang Ming gave Gu Zhengfeng a smile, nodded, and forcefully picked up a piece of meat to eat slowly.
Jiang Qiao ate a few bites and went to check on her little brother. Fang Ming, having finished eating, also came over to see him.
"Grandpa, you can wash Fangming up in a bit, then you all go to bed early. Dad, you take me there."
Although he didn't know what his daughter was going to do, once she went out, he naturally understood what she was doing.
"That's true. It will be easier for you to contact each other if anything happens. Now that you've got that certificate, you should help them out as much as you can. You should also learn what you need to learn. Those people are much more capable than us. It won't hurt to learn more."
However, there's one thing you can't take risks with. You're too young. Anything can wait until you're older and more capable.
Jiang Qiao just smiled and didn't say anything else. If she was going to talk about learning, that would just be an excuse for herself. She didn't think she was any worse than Song Shutian.
If we're really talking about it, she could be considered Song Shutian's senior. Alas, it's a pity she's trapped in this small body. She may have become younger, but there are many things she can't do; she's too restricted.
After dropping the child off, Gu Zhengfeng didn't leave. "Little girl, Daddy's in the office. We'll go together later."
Jiang Qiao waved to Gu Zhengfeng and then walked into Song Shutian's temporary residence.
"You're here! We've been waiting for you! Come on over—"
Jiang Qiao's ability to accept things left Song Shutian speechless. Jiang Qiao simply smiled and explained, "I learned a bit from the radio operators in the army, so it's not too difficult for me to accept this. If there's anything else you need to tell me, hurry up while there's still time."
Next is the two of them learning together, one willing to teach and the other learning quickly.
"Sigh, teaching a student like you makes me feel so unfulfilled. You're so smart it's almost overwhelming. Let's continue tomorrow night."
Jiang Qiao casually inquired about Jiang Jinyu's situation, "Our director isn't anything special, but he's quite good-looking. He must have been a handsome young man when he was younger. As for other things, I don't know. If you want to know, you can ask him when you meet him in person later."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "No wonder you work in secrecy; not a single word of the truth comes out. When I have time later, I'll definitely have to pay a visit to your leader. After all, he's practically my boss, right?"
