Sister-in-law Jiang also wanted to, but now she wished she could just leave without a second thought. How could she possibly go to the county?
They'd probably be pulling a cartload of oxen before even reaching their destination; that would be truly shameful.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was a thoughtful person. "Have someone from the old clan chief's family make a trip and say that they have found evidence. The old clan chief's grandmother is my grandmother's aunt, so she will definitely help."
Sister-in-law Jiang hesitated somewhat, "Will this work?"
"We definitely have to offer them benefits."
Sister-in-law Jiang thought so too, "Alright, I'll go..." She had just reached the door when her stomach growled loudly.
Jiang Da Sao hurriedly squatted on the chamber pot, not even bothering to ask the old clan chief's grandson to help her make this trip.
Gu An'an, it must be this woman's doing.
Once she finds out the evidence, she'll make sure that little whore dies a horrible death!
...
Gu An'an was very busy. There was still quite a bit of wild boar meat left in the house, but she killed the pheasant, chopped a bowl of chicken meat filling, and made meatballs and spring rolls.
Jiang Mingzhu was so busy that she was sleepy until the early hours of the morning.
"Zhu'er, would you help your mother put Bao'er and Mingxu to sleep?"
The girl was a little embarrassed. She felt tired because she had been going up and down the mountain repeatedly. She really didn't mean to be lazy.
"I'll help Mother. You go and keep an eye on Bao'er and Mingxu, and make sure they don't fight."
With her brother's instructions, Jiang Mingzhu finally felt relieved and left.
Gu An'an was rolling spring rolls there. This last batch was filled with chicken, and the color was more vibrant than that of pork.
Will they notice?
"What?"
Seeing that the person clearly hadn't reacted, Jiang Mingyi asked again, "I meant the laxative that was put into the water tank."
The young man's words made Gu An'an turn her head sharply to look at him, but she twisted her neck in the process.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Putting down the spring roll in her hand, Gu An'an wiped her hands on her apron and pounded her neck with the back of her hand, but it still hurt terribly.
Jiang Mingyi saw that she was almost in tears, and felt a little annoyed that he had spoken too quickly.
The boy stood up, about to speak, when he saw Gu An'an twisting her neck from side to side, seemingly recovering. He then sat back down without making a sound.
"You're quite clever."
There's no need to hide it from this clever little devil.
Jiang Mingyi looked at the people busy there and for a moment didn't know what to say.
If someone bullies you, you'll naturally want to get revenge; he would do the same.
But things like putting laxatives in the water tank.
Isn't that a bit too obvious?
"I'll take care of it later."
Gu An'an laughed when she heard this. "What are you going to do? Pour out the water in the tank? Your aunt isn't stupid. Doesn't she know that there's probably something wrong with the water? She's probably still lying in wait. If you go there, you'll just be walking into a trap."
Jiang Mingyi frowned. "I'll be careful."
"No need." Gu An'an put the rolled spring rolls into the pot. "That laxative only lasts for one day. It won't be effective if you come back tomorrow."
Tian Bu'er didn't mention it when he gave her the laxative, but there was a small note inside the medicine that mentioned this sentence.
There's also the issue of timeliness.
That's interesting.
Jiang Mingyi was also hearing this for the first time. The boy squatted in front of the stove, staring blankly at the flames inside.
"Just add firewood and let it burn by itself. Go to sleep."
After finishing the last pot, Gu An'an washed her hands.
Her hands were covered in minced meat today, which made her feel extremely greasy.
Eating meat is good, but dealing with meat every day is not a happy life.
Sure enough, I still need to go to Anping County to take over a shop, and then hire two more employees, finding one who can endure hardship, to be in charge of mincing meat.
That's a really good choice.
Lying in bed, Gu An'an looked at the sleeping children and a smile appeared in her eyes.
As the weather gradually warms up, this kang (heated brick bed) will soon be out of use.
When spring arrives and the flowers bloom, she plans to renovate the house again, as Zhu'er is getting old and can't always sleep with her.
Girls should have their own rooms.
As Gu An'an was making plans, her hand was grabbed.
Bao'er grabbed Gu An'an's hand and put it in her mouth, sucking on it like a baby nursing. "The meat is too hard and doesn't taste good. Bao'er doesn't like it."
They even started to complain.
Gu An'an carefully withdrew her finger, kissed the little girl's forehead, and fell asleep holding the sweet and soft baby girl.
Someone knocked on the door early in the morning.
Jiang Mingyi's voice came from outside the window, "It sounds like the old clan chief and the others have come looking for us."
The old clan chief has come looking for him; I'm afraid Jiang Yongshan is also among those looking for him.
Of the three sons in the Jiang family, the third son, Jiang Yong'an, who is also her husband, has disappeared without a trace, and the second son, Jiang Yonghai, is someone she can't count on.
The only one who can actually do anything decent is Jiang Yongshan.
This person is all talk and no action.
Now that something has happened at home, it's normal for Jiang Yongshan to come back.
However, Gu An'an guessed wrong this time; Jiang Yongshan was not there.
At the entrance were the old clan chief and his wife, Bai, as well as Jiang, who looked pale and sickly, and others.
Sister-in-law Jiang was also there, but she stood behind, supporting her daughter Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Of course, there were also plenty of villagers watching the spectacle.
As the door opened, the old patriarch swung his cane in.
Just as it was about to hit Gu An'an, Jiang Mingyi quickly grabbed it, saying, "As the clan leader, it's not appropriate to bully an orphan and a widow without even asking what happened."
The young man, dressed in a sturdy blue robe, looked at the other party with an unyielding attitude, which made the old clan chief feel inexplicably guilty.
