South wing.
After closing the doors and windows, Jiang Ningning told Cai Jinhua about being followed.
That bright face was full of fear: "If they dare to sneak into the village to arrest people, there must be accomplices hiding nearby."
There was no surveillance in those days, and there were huge mountains nearby. If you were caught by human traffickers, the consequences would be disastrous.
But...what if we are not human traffickers?
Ordinary human traffickers would not dare to be so arrogant. The villages nowadays are different from those in later generations. Neighbors are harmonious and united. All the strong and healthy young people still stay in the village to farm. If something happens to one family, the whole family will respond collectively.
Therefore, the things that made those bad guys take risks must be the account books and the yellow croaker.
The grandfather and grandson exchanged a quick look.
"I'll go to the commune tomorrow and call and ask 께 张 to return to the village as soon as possible."
Cai Jinhua narrowed her eyes and said, "There is a soldier walking around in the village. The traffickers will be afraid to act rashly. As long as we delay for a while, they will no longer be able to act so arrogantly."
It not only refers to Huo Donglin's return, but also that the account books had already been handed over to the Capital Commission for Discipline Inspection at that time. By then, all these country parasites will be arrested.
After this kind of thing, no matter how brave Manman and Xia Xia are, they are still children after all. He nestled in his mother's arms with pale lips, looking as wilted as an eggplant hit by frost.
Cai Jinhua felt distressed when she saw this and silently cursed the trafficker's ancestors.
"You three should stay in the village and not go anywhere these days. I will not go to work tomorrow and will stay here to protect you."
Jiang Ningning was a little embarrassed: "I don't think so. We have just started to earn income through knitting. I have to help Manman more."
Cai Jinhua wanted to say forget it, but she knew her granddaughter too well. She knew that she liked to serve the people just like her martyr parents.
Ha ha! My granddaughter is so outstanding and selfless, it’s such a distressing thing.
"Old man Sun is right. We should not alert the enemy for the time being. Don't go to the captain yet. I will take care of the search."
Cai Jinhua raised her eyebrows confidently and said, "Don't underestimate the women, young and old, in the village. They are the most powerful intelligence group in the country."
"You just go and get busy with your work. I'll take care of Manman and Xiaxia at home. I'll bring back a dog tomorrow."
Speaking of the dog, Jiang Ningning couldn't help but think of the black panther. She wondered how its injuries were recovering.
-
Maybe because I had something on my mind, I didn't sleep well the whole night and woke up very early the next day.
When the people in Old Jiang's family saw Jiang Ningning sitting at the dining table for the first time in the morning, they were all so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.
Cai Jinhua openly cooked for her granddaughter and placed the egg custard in front of her. "Eat it while it's hot. I'll re-steam Manman and Xiaxia's portions later."
The egg custard is shiny in color, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions, a pinch of sesame oil and soy sauce, and it makes you salivate just by looking at it.
Sun Hong's eyes rolled around, and she pushed her son, who had just learned to walk, towards Jiang Ningning.
Who doesn't know what she's thinking?
Sensing the vaguely sarcastic gaze, Jiang Lao Er's face turned red with embarrassment, but Sun Hong didn't care.
On the one hand, she wanted to use this incident to get a feel for Jiang Ningning's personality.
On the other hand, I do feel that Mrs. Cai Jinhua is biased. Why do they give all the good things to their grandson's family, but are so stingy with their own great-grandson?
Human nature is always to worry about inequality rather than scarcity, and the reason is that the Jiang family is too poor. A whole family lives together, and all their eyes are on competing for those few resources.
Cai Jinhua used to be fair and her family lived in peace until she showed unprecedented favoritism towards the eldest wife...
It's not like other people didn't have complaints in private, but that idiot Sun Hong jumped out again and again and became the first to speak out.
Everyone at the table pretended to drink porridge, but their eyes were actually looking at the host seat.
Cai Jinhua was about to open her mouth to spit, when she saw Jiang Ningning picked up a clean handful of wine and divided it into three parts, one for her and one for Old Man Jiang.
After that, she smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, grandma, you guys are the ones who work the hardest in the harvest. Eat more egg custard to replenish your body."
Cai Jinhua smiled so hard that she couldn't stop: "Okay, this is your gift to us, so of course we have to eat it ourselves."
Old man Jiang, who was originally reluctant to eat and was planning to give it to his great-grandson, silently buried his head and started to eat it after hearing what the old woman said.
Ouch——
Watching the egg custard being eaten up, 께's great-grandson pouted and burst into tears.
Old man Jiang didn't dare to look up. Cai Jinhua didn't care about teaching Sun Hong a lesson for making trouble for no reason, and Jiang Ningning...
As she cried, she smiled with her eyes curved and ate even more happily.
Everyone: “…”
That's right.
How could a cousin who dares to marry a cold and harsh man like Captain Huo be an ordinary person?
"Starting from noon, every household can start eating." Cai Jinhua suddenly announced.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces turned extremely ugly.
During the harvest season, the old lady felt sorry for her children and grandchildren, and would always find ways to subsidize them, occasionally cutting some meat and frying some eggs.
If each family eats together, not only does it require one person to cook, which is troublesome and the food is not good either.
For a moment, all the resentful eyes fell on Sun Hong, making her expression almost unbearable.
Cai Jinhua had admired her embarrassment enough before she slowly said, "I'm old and can't work anymore. I've stopped working since yesterday and stayed at home to enjoy a peaceful life."
"In two years, your grandfather will no longer be able to work, and then I will have to rely on you for food."
"As the saying goes, only wealthy children and grandchildren are filial. For the sake of future security, I'd better save more money for my coffin."
When the last words were spoken, everyone's cheeks were burning, and they all said that even if the old lady and the old man could not work, they would still respect them as they did now, and take care of them in their old age and till the end of their lives.
Cai Jinhua ignored these nice words and had made up her mind.
As the family grew in number, a lot of food was consumed at every meal, and all of this food was subsidized by the two elders.
She had been thinking about this matter for a long time, but she made the decision earlier because there was a traitor in the family recently, which implicated Ningning and her two children.
There are many people here, so eating together reduces the chance of contact, prevents someone from getting to know the news and leaking it out again, and also minimizes potential dangers.
The old lady planned three steps before taking one step and went over everything in her mind. Besides, the things belong to her, so she can give them to whoever she wants, and it is perfectly justified for her to do so.
But the only thing that is unpredictable is the human heart.
She was so partial to Jiang Ningning all the time, and no one dared to complain too much because Jiang Ningning's last name was Jiang.
The scene was completely silent, just like an overturned color palette, with every face showing a brilliant array of colors.
"Mom, I'm sorry, it's my fault that I don't know how to educate my children." Uncle Jiang said in a muffled voice.
Cai Jinhua rolled her eyes and said, "You just realized it now? You gave birth to a bunch of idiots. The foundation of the Jiang family is buried in your lineage."
Uncle Jiang: “…”
Everyone in the second room: "..."
