Xia Chunmei happened to be running a kitchen nearby, so Xia Donglai took the opportunity to go there.
When Xia Donglai saw Xia Chunmei, he didn't even recognize her; she was so different from how he remembered her.
"What do you think you're doing here, Xia Donglai? Let me tell you, Chunmei may not have parents, but she still has me, her aunt. Don't even think about bullying her!"
When Xia Hongfen saw Xia Donglai coming over, she immediately stepped forward and pulled Xia Chunmei behind her.
Xia Donglai laughed and said, "Aunt Hongfen, you're joking. Chunmei is also my sister. How could I bully my own sister? I know what my parents did. This matter is something our family has wronged Chunmei. I'm here to apologize to Chunmei. Chunmei, what happened before was something our family has wronged you. I will discipline Xiumei more strictly in the future. If you need any help, just tell your brother."
Xia Donglai's attitude was excellent.
Xia Hongfen scoffed and said, "Hmph, a weasel paying respects to a chicken is up to no good. Just don't hold a grudge and secretly cause trouble for Chunmei. Helping her? Tch."
"Don't worry, Auntie, and Chunmei can rest assured too. This kind of thing will definitely not happen again. You two go ahead with your work, I'll be going now."
Xia Hongfen's attitude was not good, but Xia Donglai always had a smile on his face. Xia Chunmei felt that this person was quite deep and had to be wary of him.
Xia Donglai left, and Xia Hongfen warned Xia Chunmei as if facing a formidable enemy: "Chunmei, Xia Donglai is just a smiling tiger, you must not believe his lies!"
"Auntie, don't worry, I know, I'll be careful."
Xia Hongfen looked worried: "Xia Changjiang and his wife are fine, but I heard that Xia Donglai is very dark-skinned. Chunmei, why don't you take Qiumei and the others and come live with me in Xiaojiaping?"
“Aunt, I have a confession and a guarantee. They won’t dare to do anything to me. Don’t worry too much. My house is already under construction. If we move to Xiaojiaping now, it would be a huge loss. Don’t worry.”
Xia Donglai is indeed a ruthless person. Compared to people like Xia Changjiang and Shi Zhenxiang, he is much more difficult to deal with, especially his mistress, who has quite a powerful background...
But who is Xia Chunmei?
She had read the original novel. In the extra chapters, Xia Donglai was mentioned, though only briefly, but the information revealed was enough for Xia Chunmei to destroy him.
If he dares to lay a hand on me, then he shouldn't blame me for putting him to death!
At this time, in the county town, at the Jin family's residence.
Jin Yuntian was preparing to take Jin Wenyuan by boat to Ning County, but when they arrived at the riverbank, Jin Wenyuan refused to get on the boat no matter what.
"Boat, no, sit."
“Young master, don’t you like boating? If you go by boat, you’ll see the Grand Madam soon. Don’t you want to see the Grand Madam?” The wet nurse, Madam Xu, patiently coaxed Jin Wenyuan.
"I miss, my great-grandmother."
"Then let's take a boat and see Great-Grandma as soon as possible, okay?"
Jin Wenyuan recalled Xia Chunmei shaking her head: "No, sister, said, leave the water, don't, sit."
"Which sister?"
Jin Wenyuan didn't speak, but Jin Yuntian suddenly picked him up and carried him onto the boat. When the attendants saw that their master had boarded the boat, they quickly set off.
Jin Wenyuan on the ship kept crying and making a fuss, and Jin Yuntian's face immediately darkened: "Stop making a fuss!"
"Danger, danger..."
"What do you mean, 'dangerous'?"
"Sister said, danger, away from water, don't sit, don't sit."
Wu Han, standing beside Jin Yuntian, said, "Master, the young master is always very well-behaved and never acts unreasonably. Could there really be any danger?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Yuntian squatted down and gently coaxed, "Xiao Yuan, tell Daddy, who told you there was danger?"
"elder sister."
Which sister is it?
Since being rescued that night, Jin Wenyuan has started practicing nunchaku. He took out his nunchaku and demonstrated a couple of moves.
Jin Yuntian asked in shock, "You said it was the sister who rescued you from human traffickers who told you this?"
Jin Wenyuan nodded.
Wu Han was equally shocked: "How did she know?"
When did she tell you?
"Zhuo Tian".
Did that woman say anything else?
Jin Wenyuan thought for a moment, then took out his purse and showed them the gifts he had received.
When Jin Yuntian and Wu Han saw that it was actually talisman paper inside, they were surprised again, thinking it was something valuable.
"This should just be a regular peace charm." At this moment, neither Jin Yuntian nor Wu Han paid any attention to the charm.
Jin Wenyuan insisted on getting off the ship again, and Jin Yuntian did not agree, but he felt a little uneasy.
Since Xia Chunmei was able to rescue Jin Wenyuan from human traffickers, it's unlikely she would harm him.
Thinking of this, Jin Yuntian immediately arranged for people to investigate.
About fifteen minutes later, Wu Han came to report with a serious expression: "Sir, there are signs of water leaking in the cabin! We must dock immediately, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"
A storm raged within Jin Yuntian's heart.
The boat has just set sail, and if they dock immediately, nothing will happen. But if Xia Chunmei hadn't reminded them, by the time their boat reached the middle of the river, it would have taken on water. In this cold weather, there would be no way they could swim back; they would have simply been waiting to die.
But how did that girl know?
"Xiao Yuan, do you remember what that older sister looked like?"
Jin Wenyuan nodded: "Sister, sister, beautiful."
Where did you meet them?
Although Jin Wenyuan spoke slowly, uttering each word carefully, Jin Yuntian still managed to get the information.
Wu Han exclaimed in shock, "That amulet was actually written by her herself! And the young lady and the young master met by chance... Could it be that the young lady can tell fortunes?"
"Regardless of whether that girl can tell fortunes or not, she has helped us twice, and we must repay this favor. You must immediately take men to investigate that girl's identity and find her at all costs."
In fact, on the night Jin Wenyuan was rescued last time, Jin Yuntian had a dream.
He dreamed that Jin Wenyuan was bought by a sonless couple in the mountains. At first, they treated Xiaoyuan very well, but the following year they had their own son, and Xiaoyuan's existence became superfluous.
They beat and scolded Xiaoyuan every day and didn't give him any food. Xiaoyuan froze to death in the cold winter, before he was even six years old.
The dream that night was too real, so real that Jin Yuntian felt that if it weren't for the intervention of this mysterious girl, his son would have really been sold to the mountains, abused, and lived an inhuman life.
Fan Baowen already knew about the hunchback's mishap and was furious.
Fan Baowen felt his luck had hit rock bottom, as he hadn't been able to resolve the Xia Chunmei issue and now he had to deal with the Xia Xiumei issue as well.
However, he was unaware that his scheme had been exposed, and he planned to invite Xia Xiumei to the county town to make another move.
But before Fan Baowen could make another move, he received a letter from Xia Xiumei, inviting him to meet at Junzi Teahouse at 3:45 PM the next day.
