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...
While drinking tea, Jiang Qiao talked to the old man about Jiang He, "Was it you who started it?"
Hou Diankui nodded. "That bastard, luckily I took action, otherwise I would have been finished off by him. Jiang Hong is not here, I don't know where she ran off to. I heard that she even took her brothers and Jiang Mei with her to make connections."
Jiang Qiao snorted, "What collusion? They're just going out to rob and plunder, taking advantage of people's misfortunes."
Hou Diankui snorted, "Wang Dahua has never raised a good child. Tsk tsk, when these bastards come back, we'll investigate where they hid their stuff and take them all down."
Let them do bad things; even if they turn around and help orphans and the elderly, it's better than leaving them in the hands of these grandsons.
Jiang Qiao completely agreed with the old man's idea: "I think it's a good idea. By the way, Master Hou, what's the situation with Chunming and Zhou Yu? Why haven't they come back yet?"
Speaking of this, Hou Diankui sighed, "The investigation over there isn't finished yet. I miss my apprentice too. But it'll be over soon. I've handed over the rest to the relevant local departments, and they should be coming back soon."
"Girl, whatever you're going to do next, I'm planning to stay here and lend a hand."
Jiang Qiao turned to look at Hou Diankui and said, "Are you really not afraid? If I go too far, this matter will probably not end well. I've already thought it through. If I don't have a good time, those people won't have a good time either."
My grandfather and uncle were traumatized and hurt by this, and they both have to stay with me. And you're still making trouble for me?
Hou Diankui slammed his hand on the table. "Fine, what do I have to be afraid of? I just don't like them. Girl, how about we go all out? You come and be the leader, okay?"
Jiang Qiao said thoughtfully, "It's not impossible. Anyway, these people haven't done anything proper. They've all set up their own factions, disrupted production, and caused all sorts of trouble. Let's have a good talk about this between the two of us. If we can resolve this matter smoothly, then my older brother won't have any problems."
Hou Diankui remembered Ning Hao and the others. "Where did those people go? Didn't they say they came with you?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "They've been sent out to gather information. Once Uncle Song arrives, the two of us will go and meet up with them. Song Zhi and the others shouldn't get involved in this matter."
Before coming here, Jiang Qiao had never considered replacing them. However, Hou Diankui's words reminded her that you have to strike at the heart of the matter. Even if she made a scene and replaced them, her uncle's life would still be difficult. She also never thought of sending Gu Zhengkai back to farm.
Why should he go home to farm after ten years in prison? Wouldn't that mean all of Gu Zhengkai's ambitions over the years have been wasted?
It would be better for her to stay here and suppress those factions that have set up their own independent groups. Once things return to normal, everything else will be much easier to handle once Yang Yunqi recovers.
When Song Zhi returned, he not only brought back news, but also some food for Jiang Qiao and the others.
"Oh, you only caught two fish and shrimp, nothing else?"
Song Zhi shook his head. "They don't even have a radio. They mainly rely on their superiors to contact them. As for who the other party is, they don't know themselves, but they know the other party's code name. Once that code name appears, they have to follow orders."
This is why these people are so difficult to track down. Once you catch one, the trail goes cold, and finding the supplier becomes extremely difficult.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "It seems this matter really can't be investigated in a day or two. Forget it, with you guys here, I'll deal with my important matter first, and we can talk about those fish and shrimp later."
Hou Diankui urged everyone to eat quickly, saying, "We can talk about other things once we have food in our stomachs. I'm starving."
Zhao Jian exclaimed, "Wow, I really didn't expect this trip to be so worthwhile. I managed to save Old Yang's life. Girl, I'm truly impressed. Remember to give me any good medicine in the future. I'm getting old, and I can't compare to you young people."
Hou Diankui tapped Zhao Jian with the tip of his chopsticks. "You brat, I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already calling yourself old in front of an old man like me? You're asking for a beating. Compared to me, you're far from being old."
Zhao Jian fawned over the old man, serving him food and saying, "That's right, that's right. How can we compare to you? You're in great health, you'll definitely live to be a hundred."
"You're good at talking, kid. Hurry up and eat."
Jiang Qiao ate little. She had eaten a lot in the space before and her stomach was full, so she naturally didn't care about the food in front of her. Although the food that Song Zhi bought was already top-notch, she knew how rare fine grains and meat were these days, so she didn't want to compete with them for this food.
After finishing the soup, she wiped her mouth and said, "I'm full. You guys eat slowly. Uncle, when are you planning to go back?"
Song Zhi sighed, "We plan to leave tomorrow. I'll go check on Lao Yang in a bit. It would be best if he woke up, so I won't have to worry about him when I get back."
"Girl, think twice before you act, and don't put yourself in a dangerous situation."
Little did Song Zhi know that the old man and the young girl on this side were about to cause a huge uproar, and Jiang Qiao obediently agreed.
"Uncle, don't worry, we're not like that."
After dinner, the four of them went to the hospital together. Jiang Qiao tried to avoid the medical staff, but as soon as they entered the room, a doctor was examining Yang Yunqi. Just as Jiang Qiao had said, he had woken up. It was a miracle. The doctors knew Yang Yunqi's condition; he was just waiting to die.
Unexpectedly, the doctor they found from who-knows-where managed to save the person. Their hospital needs someone like that; with such a person around, countless patients can be saved from critical condition.
So, just when they wanted to ask Yang Yunqi and his son who had treated them, Jiang Qiao and the others came.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Yang Yunqi was so excited that tears streamed down his face.
Jiang Qiao quickly took the old man's hand and comforted him, "Uncle, let's not get excited. Your health has just started to improve, so you can't be overjoyed or sad."
Brother Yang, have the people from Uncle Tong's workplace arrived yet?
The eldest son of the Yang family nodded. "I've already called to inform them, they should be on their way."
Song Zhi came over and grabbed Yang Yunqi's hand. "Old Yang, can you talk now?"
Yang Yunqi nodded, his voice somewhat hoarse, "I've finally come back to life."
Seeing this, Jiang Qiao quickly cleared the area, saying, "You all go out first. We have something to discuss with the patient. If anything happens, we'll call you."
The guard outside also came over to help clear the area. "Everyone, go out and let them talk first."
Although reluctant, the doctors and nurses had no choice but to go out. This was a key person under their protection; he had almost died in their hospital yesterday. Now, they really couldn't keep a straight face, for fear of getting into trouble over a single suspicion.
