Chapter 281 It was her
Feng felt the bumps and asked outside, "Boss, why don't you leave? Did you bump into someone?"
Jiang Fengnian stared at the scene with a stern face, paused for a moment, and then replied to comfort her.
"It's okay, mother, just sit down, don't come out, let's continue on our way." His tone inadvertently sank.
At this moment, the woman on the ground was stunned when she heard the familiar voice.
She looked up at him!
Although she was wearing a satin dress and a bun, this lady still showed a sense of timidity in her gestures, which was obviously inconsistent with her dress.
Zhao never thought that she would meet Jiang Fengnian here.
She opened her mouth in surprise, staring at Fengnian for a long time, not knowing whether to speak.
Soon, Zhao seemed to have thought of something and felt guilty, so she covered her face, got up and walked away with her head down.
Jiang Fengnian glanced at the direction Zhao left, and it happened to be Weirui Lane behind Qincaiju.
When he got back on the carriage and swung the reins, he couldn't help but talk to his family in the carriage.
"Mom, guess who I bumped into just now?" Jiang Fengnian's voice was muffled.
Feng heard something strange in his tone, "What are you talking about? Could it be that you have met someone who has a grudge against our family?"
As the mother knows her son best, Jiang Fengnian smiled helplessly, "Mother, you heard it. I'm afraid you will be upset if I tell you. The one who almost bumped into our carriage just now was Zhao from the eldest wife's house."
"Who?" Feng scratched her ears.
"Zhao." Jiang Fengnian narrowed his eyes and said, "She looks pretty well dressed, as if she has become rich and just came out of Weirui Lane."
When the eldest wife was mentioned, a bad memory flashed back in the minds of the Jiang family.
Feng's eyebrows wrinkled into eight characters, "Oh, it turned out to be her. If you hadn't told me, mother would have almost forgotten that there was such a person."
There was a brief silence in the carriage.
I remember that when the first wife's family broke up, Jiang Dahai was punished by the government, and Mrs. Jiang died and was sent to a death kiln.
But the village did not make things difficult for Zhao, but only expelled her from the village and let her return to her parents' home to live. Since then, no one has seen her again.
At this time, Jiang Fenghu spoke again, and asked curiously, "Brother, you must have seen it wrong. Zhao's family is from Shimian Village, and they are so poor. How could they dress decently and walk around the city, not to mention going to Weirui Lane, where all the rich families live."
Jiang Fengnian's palms were still cold, "Humph, I would recognize her and Jiang Dahai even if they turned into ashes, how could I be wrong."
Li Qiqiao leaned against the soft cushion of the car, thinking of the past, and pushed Fenghu, "Don't say it, if Zhao really got rich, it's not impossible."
"Have you forgotten that the eldest house once gave a son to a family in the city to be adopted." Li Qiqiao said thoughtfully.
After saying this, the Jiang family immediately remembered this matter.
"That's right. The eldest wife had a son. He was born less than two years ago. Because his horoscope was all Yang, he was chosen by a wealthy family and adopted as their son. If you calculate carefully, he should be twelve or thirteen years old now." Feng nodded slowly.
It was more than ten years ago. At that time, even Jiang Fengnian was not even ten years old, not to mention Feng Hu and the others.
Jiang Fenghu slapped his forehead and became curious, "That's right, by the way, mother, the eldest wife only has this one child, how could they bear to give it away, tell me quickly."
Feng shook her head, "The rich family was generous and gave fifty taels of silver to buy it. The eldest wife and her husband were young at that time and thought they could have more children in the future, so they were willing to sell it."
"But, it's strange to say." Feng narrowed her eyes, "Since then, Zhao has never been pregnant again. In the end, she only gave birth to this one child, and he went to someone else's house."
However, Jiang Dahai and his wife did not regret it at the time.
They just thought that when their son grew up and inherited the rich family's business, they would be able to enjoy the good life.
In the early years, they often showed off in the village, counting beads and almost making the villagers look embarrassed, and no one wanted to listen.
Feng recalled, sighing, "At that time, your father was still alive. I remember that he came back and told me that the village chief scolded them and said that selling children would ruin the fate of descendants and grandchildren, and it would easily end up with no descendants, so he told the eldest wife to be careful not to show off."
It seems that the old saying is true, the eldest wife's lineage is almost really broken.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Jiang Fenghu joked, "Mom, if people offered fifty taels to buy us brothers, would you and dad be willing to sell us?"
Feng pinched his belly and said in a reproachful tone, "You are dreaming. Look at your fat body. If it were you, you could only be sold as a New Year pig at most. If you can sell it for five taels of silver, your dad and I will be thankful. How dare you dream of fifty taels of silver!"
Li Qiqiao laughed when she heard it, and Jiang Fenghu also fell on his mother's shoulder with a big face, laughing without a proper appearance.
Although she said such nonsense, in fact, in Feng's heart, she naturally regarded her children as priceless treasures.
Children are the flesh of their mothers.
There is no reason to sell meat in the world!
Li Qiqiao laughed enough and continued, "Back to what I said just now, mother. That's why I suspect that Zhao may have found her son, so big brother can see that she is well-dressed and can walk around in the city."
Feng thought for a while.
The second son's wife's guess was not unreasonable.
She rubbed her eyebrows and whispered, "Since Jiang Dahai was pardoned, is he still working as a government slave in the blacksmith shop in the city? It doesn't matter. As long as this family doesn't show up in front of us in the future, who cares what's going on with her?"
Little Nuobao was lying in his mother's arms. Listening to this, his big black eyes turned inadvertently.
At this moment, Qin Caiju arrived. Jiang Fengnian took a look and laughed, "Mom, we are here. Boss Qin is hanging colorful lanterns in front of the door!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking and got off the carriage one by one.
Feng held Xiao Nuobao in her arms and stepped on the pedal to stand steadily. The carriage of the Xiao family followed closely behind and also stopped the wheels.
Mrs. Xiao and her daughter-in-law, wearing a moonlight dress with dark patterns and a horse-faced skirt with gold yarn, were helped down by the servants.
As the two horses neighed, Fengze and Xiao Lanyi, who had been protecting them all the way behind, also pulled the reins and waved with a smile.
"Everyone is here, let's go in." Feng held up the short legs of the two ladies and called to Mrs. Xiao.
Old lady Xiao narrowed her eyes, held Nuobao's little hand and smiled, "We were just thinking about it, we should come to Qincaiju first, and you guys thought of it, we are really in sync."
Qin Bu Tong saw everyone coming, and hurriedly jumped down the wooden ladder, bowed and greeted the guests.
Feng also politely returned the greeting, "It's a big festival, I hope I didn't disturb your business, Boss Qin."
"Come in quickly, everyone, even though it's Mid-Autumn Festival today, I'm afraid I can't fill my place, thanks to you for coming to help me warm up the atmosphere."
"The private room upstairs is empty, I'll ask someone to make tea, and Nuobao's favorite cherry pancakes will be prepared right away!" Qin Bu Tong was generous and hospitable, shaking his big teeth with joy.
When little Nuobao heard that there was cherry pancakes, he was so happy that he wanted to clap his hands.
Unfortunately, her fat hands had already grabbed the mooncakes, and there was really no room for them to move. So she simply "slapped" her two little feet together and "drummed" happily!
"Thank you, Uncle Qin!" Little Nuobao giggled so much that her face bulged.
