Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "If you had met me a few years ago, you would probably have made an even bigger mistake. How should I put it, I don't easily cause trouble, but I am definitely not afraid of trouble, especially for the people I want to protect. If anyone dares to touch them, I will definitely not be lenient."

Yang Yunqi nodded in agreement, "That's how it should be. I still don't regret killing that bastard. We had two lives in our family, and he didn't even have enough to compensate for it with one. It was too good for that grandson."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "That's right. Come to think of it, you're the one who's been wronged the most. Anyway, it's all in the past now, so we have to look forward."

My uncle told you about my situation, right?

Yang Yunqi nodded. "Girl, what do you plan to do?"

Out of respect for his senior's ideas, Jiang Qiao consulted Yang Yunqi's opinion on whether to return to his old profession. Yang Yunqi's long-suppressed passion began to boil again.

Despite their age, enthusiasm has nothing to do with age. Gu Zhengkai added from the side, "These three are all veterans who have come through the flames of war. It is said that three cobblers can equal one Zhuge Liang, let alone these three. They are definitely seasoned veterans with rich experience in fighting the enemy. By complementing each other, the plan gradually became more complete."

"Then I'll head out first, girl, you follow later, we'll meet up in the city."

Jiang Qiao was worried that it would interfere with Yang Yunqi's work. "It's okay, it's just a night watchman's job. My son can cover for me at night. It's no big deal."

Jiang Qiao readily agreed and pulled out a wad of cash and bills from her bag.

"Uncle Yang, this is your operating fund. Don't be stingy. Our main purpose is to catch the bad guys."

Yang Yunqi glanced at Jiang Qiao and nodded. "Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. Okay, I'll be going now. If anything comes up, we'll contact each other when we meet."

Actually, Yang Yunqi was quite curious. What was the situation with Gu Zhengkai's niece? The little girl took out money without batting an eye. It was the first time he had ever seen a child like that.

When Gu Zhengkai saw him off, he finally asked about his doubts. He was unsure whether it was appropriate to accept money from someone else's child.

“Just accept what the child gives you. How can you not spend money when you're out and about? My niece's situation is a bit special. She's the head of the household now, and even I, her uncle, might not be as wealthy as she is.”

Just spend the money, and once things are done smoothly, we'll all be at ease. This is your chance; make the most of your talents, and I'll be waiting for your good news.

Yang Yunqi left very quickly, carrying his bag and walking away without Gu Zhengkai seeing him off downstairs.

When Jiang Qiao came down, Yang Yunqi was nowhere to be seen. "Let's go. I've arranged this for you. As for how to do it, the three of you will cooperate. I'll talk to your third uncle. You all meet up in the city. Remember, be careful. There are some things your eldest brother doesn't understand. Teach him more."

Gu Zhengkai understood what his father meant. Although he only had one son, as the grandson of the Gu family, even if he felt sorry for him, he had to let the child go out and gain some experience. It was best to have Jiang Qiao take care of him, rather than suffer in silence later.

After parting ways with Gu Zhengkai, Jiang Qiao returned to their tenement courtyard by herself.

Jiang Qiao was immediately greeted by Niu Guihua. Seeing that Jiang Qiao had returned, Niu Guihua turned her neck, snorted coldly, and walked straight out.

Li Meilan saw everything clearly from the kitchen. Only after Niu Guihua left did she come out. "What a jerk! Always so arrogant and smug. What's there to be proud of? Your daughter is divorced, and you don't even feel ashamed."

Jiang Qiao, don't bother with people like that. Hmph, a petty person who's gotten his way.

Jiang Qiao couldn't understand what kind of lawsuit these two people were having. Usually, she was the type to leave early and return late, and she really didn't care much about what happened in the tenement.

During her breaks, she would go to see her grandfather, but even if Song Lianfeng wanted to talk to her, she didn't have the chance.

"Auntie, what's wrong? I used to think you two got along pretty well?"

Li Meilan snorted, "That's because the children from both families were playing together, so I talked to her. My child may be naughty, but he's not so bad as to cause trouble."

But ever since their child came, my son has been involved in theft. Tell me, which of the neighbors doesn't gossip behind my back? I've really lost all face. Luckily, the people in our courtyard are kind and don't hold it against my son. Otherwise, my husband and I wouldn't have the face to continue living here.

"Sigh, thankfully your uncle made the tough decision this time and sent the two kids out to do hard labor. Otherwise, if things had continued like this, let alone wives, we probably wouldn't even have anyone to take care of us in our old age."

Just as Jiang Qiao was about to speak, she saw Wang Dahua leading her granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law out. Upon seeing Wang Dahua, Jiang Qiao naturally greeted her.

However, the other two people never seemed to have a good attitude towards Jiang Qiao.

Grandma, where are you going?

"Oh, your sister-in-law is pregnant. I'll take her to see a doctor."

Wang Dahua didn't know how to treat Jiang Qiao. It would be a lie to say she didn't hate him. This little brat could throw a tantrum at the drop of a hat. For such a trivial matter, he even abandoned her, the grandmother who had raised him for many years.

But that's how things are now. Qiao Jie and his family are living much better than they are, so there wasn't a hint of a smile on their faces when they spoke.

Jiang Qiao has always been indifferent to Wang Dahua; now that she's left, it's just a formality.

"Grandma, you don't look too well. Take care of yourself. I have some jujubes at home. Wait a moment, I'll get you some so you can nourish yourself."

Wang Dahua didn't want it, she was so filial, why didn't her granddaughter-in-law bring her some of the good food she was eating? But she couldn't resist her granddaughter-in-law tugging at her clothes.

"Okay, go get it then."

Li Meilan, who was standing nearby, could see this clearly. "Auntie," she said, "don't say Jiang Qiao is talking about you. You don't look too well either. Take better care of yourself and don't worry the children."

When Jiang Qiao went back into the house, she not only took out red dates, but also a piece of cloth that the old woman had been wearing. The clothes that Wang Dahua was wearing seemed to be the ones she had worn before she left. For some reason, the cloth and clothes that Jiang Qiao had given her never ended up on the old woman.

"Grandma, take this fabric and make yourself some clothes. I was planning to give it to you for the New Year, but I'll give it to you now. Don't always think about others, take good care of yourself."

Jiang Hong glanced at Jiang Qiao and snorted, "Grandma, let's go. Some people talk without thinking. They're so kind, but when they're full, why don't they think about their grandma who's still starving?"
