They ran away?
"How is this possible?"
Sister-in-law Jiang has always been a very law-abiding person, how could she possibly...
It's not impossible.
After all, Boss Jiang really doesn't know how to handle things properly, so it's not impossible that Sister-in-law Jiang left in a fit of anger.
Besides, she has another trump card up her sleeve.
Back in Anzhou Prefecture, didn't she save that mysterious man in black?
Wasn't she here this morning?
Although it is very likely that this is true, Gu An'an felt that it could also be a rumor.
When they came to her house to make a scene in the morning, Jiang Ersao stepped in, but Gu An'an revealed the truth: Jiang Dasao and Jiang Qiaoqiao were the culprits.
Given Jiang Ersao's personality, it would be perfectly reasonable for her to take advantage of Jiang Dasao as well.
Unfortunately, Jiang's own city wall caught fire.
After all this commotion, it's not impossible that Jiang Ersao, having gained nothing, might just give up entirely.
Jiang's sister-in-law is in a difficult situation now, and the possibility of her going to settle scores with her sister-in-law is extremely low.
Ninth Sister-in-law knew that Gu An'an must have been shocked.
She pulled the person outside, looking mysterious, "Yes, just as everyone had left, the mother and daughter disappeared. Your second sister-in-law initially thought they had gone home first, but by noon she realized they hadn't returned. Later, the old ox-head who drives the cart said that your eldest sister-in-law and Qiaoqiao had taken their bundles and gone to the county town."
I went to the county town.
Jiang Laoda works as a clerk in the county government office, but the chances of Jiang Dasao going there are extremely low.
Gu An'an pretended not to know, "Did you two go to find your older brother?"
"No!" Ninth Sister-in-law grabbed Gu An'an's arm. "If I were going to find your brother-in-law, why would I be here to tell you? I heard he hired a car and left the county. Your second sister-in-law even went to your sister-in-law's parents' house to ask about the situation. I reckon your brother-in-law will be back soon."
My wife and daughter ran away. If word gets out, I'll be so embarrassed.
Ninth Sister-in-law never dreamed that things would be so lively every day.
But what's with Gu An'an's expression? Is she unhappy?
"Maybe that person was seeing things. Why would my sister-in-law take Qiaoqiao away for no reason? There was no warning beforehand."
Upon hearing this, Ninth Sister-in-law slapped her thigh. "Who said there wasn't? Your eldest sister-in-law is just angry. I heard from the clan chief's son that your brother-in-law is keeping someone outside and even has a child with her."
"Impossible, right?" Gu An'an felt that she was a natural actress, and that not entering the entertainment industry in her previous life was truly a lifelong regret.
“I don’t believe it either, but that kid’s story is so detailed and convincing. Besides, your brother-in-law works in the county government, why would he need to spread rumors about him?”
Ninth Sister-in-law thought this was really funny.
The two sisters-in-law of the Jiang family both had daughters as their first child. Later, the eldest sister-in-law of the Jiang family became pregnant again, but this pregnancy was not good. Not only was she born prematurely, but she also damaged her bones and could not have any more children.
This would be a devastating blow to any other woman, but Jiang Yongshan was still a man. Although he was very calculating towards outsiders, he treated his own woman quite well.
I never thought a good man could turn bad. If he really had a child outside the marriage, wouldn't he have been raising it for at least a year or two?
No wonder Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't bear this injustice.
If it were her, she probably would have set the house on fire.
Sister-in-law Jiu sighed, "It's absolutely true that men turn bad when they have money. But you don't need to worry, you don't have a man."
Gu An'an: "..." She was a little unsure whether this was a good thing or not.
But that's not important.
Ninth Sister-in-law rambled on for a few more minutes before leaving.
Gu An'an went home and saw the brother and sister standing behind the door as soon as she entered.
Jiang Mingzhu's bright eyes sparkled, clearly not disappointing her sister-in-law's visit to gossip.
"Mother, did Aunt and Jiang Qiaoqiao really run away?"
Gu An'an hesitated for a moment before nodding, "It should be."
Jiang Mingyi seemed to remember something, turned back to the east room, and came out with something in his hand.
"Is this a keepsake from that person?"
Gu An'an was stunned when she saw the bronze plaque. "How did you get it...?"
She suddenly remembered that when Jiang Mingyi went up the mountain with her, she searched the man in black to see if he had any of his belongings, and found this bronze plaque with strange symbols engraved on it.
It wasn't worth much, so Gu An'an simply threw it back.
She didn't expect Jiang Mingyi to secretly pick it up.
What was the token she mentioned when she overheard Jiang Dasao and Jiang Qiaoqiao's conversation?
Isn't this the bronze medal?
Gu An'an was only eavesdropping on the mother and daughter's conversation and didn't look closely at what they were holding.
We were really careless.
Gu An'an's smooth fingertips traced across the young man's palm as she picked up the bronze plaque and examined it closely.
The symbols above are somewhat strange, with rough and archaic lines that resemble writing but whose meaning is unclear.
Jiang Mingyi looked at the person carefully examining the paper, then took out a piece of paper. "I tried to draw it, but I found that it was only half of the drawing."
The paper contained the other half that Jiang Mingyi had filled in, and once it was complete, it turned out to be an orchid.
It's an orchid.
Those twisted lines are orchid petals, and more importantly, the orchid that was missing arms and legs has now been restored.
"This is quite interesting."
orchid.
Gu An'an thought the person who designed the token must have been an interesting person, but she quickly stopped smiling. "You shouldn't take things without permission."
Especially the things on this person of unknown origin—what if they bring about a deadly disaster?
Jiang Mingyi nodded slightly, "I understand."
However, he took the token handed to him by Gu An'an as a matter of course.
Clearly, whether this earnest advice has been heeded and whether it will be heeded next time remains to be seen.
Jiang Mingzhu looked at the two of them, who seemed to be speaking in riddles, and the girl found it extremely strange. "Mother, what is this?"
"Keep the scrap metal your brother picked up as a family heirloom." Gu An'an was much more patient when explaining to Jiang Mingzhu. "Don't worry, Zhu'er, it's alright. Let your aunt go; isn't it better to have one less person causing us trouble?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao was no pushover either; she had bullied Jiang Mingzhu and the others quite a bit back then.
It's better that they left.
As for whether they can reach Anzhou Prefecture safely, and how the mother and daughter will survive there, that's not something Gu An'an needs to worry about.
Jiang Mingzhu laughed at these words. "Yeah, whatever. Living our own lives well is more important than anything else."
As for her mother and brother, they were speaking in riddles about what the copper token was. She would find out when the time was right.
After taking the two children back, Gu An'an went to the kitchen to pack her things.
Although I bought some snacks, it's not enough to just eat those; I still need to cook some food.
However, before the meal was even ready, another uninvited guest arrived.
The visitor was Jiang Yongshan.
The man was panting heavily, surrounded by white mist.
His eyes were wide open, his eyes bulging outwards.
"Where did you hide them, mother and daughter?!"
