Even Sister-in-law Jiang couldn't hold back anymore. "How is that possible? How could he have known when he was so young?"
Besides, the child wasn't there at the time. "Could that brat be bluffing you?"
Jiang Yongshan categorically denied it, "No, he didn't look like he was trying to trick me."
“How could it be impossible? This kid is just like Gu An’an, full of bad ideas. You don’t know that last time, my wife and the second son’s family were caught by her. That was really…” Jiang’s wife grumbled, not noticing her husband’s increasingly gloomy face.
Jiang Yongshan interrupted his wife angrily, "Enough! You mean I can't tell whether he's telling the truth or not?"
Is he stupid? Does he need a woman like this to boss him around?
Jiang's wife was suddenly scolded, and seeing her husband's ashen face, she didn't dare to say a word for a moment.
"Ignorant woman, how do you know the principle of striking a snake at its vital point?"
Having not secured a position in the county government before, he naturally didn't care about Jiang Mingyi's threats.
But now that he's a respectable man, how could he dare to be barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes?
If that brat really takes it to the authorities, how will he stand?
They've kept this secret for so many years.
Jiang Yongshan's expression was very unpleasant.
Hearing him say this, Sister-in-law Jiang became anxious and uneasy. As the saying goes, a wife's honor is tied to her husband's, and she had recently become more assertive because of her husband, so naturally she didn't want anything to happen to him. "Then he said he wants us to pay back the money?"
"No."
Sister-in-law Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." The three hundred taels of silver had long since been spent; she had spent a lot of money bribing officials to get a job.
"You're so stupid, you won't believe me. If he had just asked me to return the money, that would have been fine, but he made this other request."
He makes a request today, and another one tomorrow, and I've become his little lamb being blackmailed. What kind of nonsense is this?
Jiang's wife had no idea what he was thinking, and quickly asked, "What are your requirements?"
"I asked him to find a way to send me to school."
Jiang Mingyi said it casually, but he didn't see much shock on Gu An'an's face. He couldn't help but frown. "You guessed it?"
Gu An'an shrugged. "Given the Jiang family's character, what's there to not guess?"
How could an ordinary farming family come up with thirty taels of silver?
It was very strange that the Jiang family spent so much money on Jiang Laosan's wedding.
Clearly, this money was left behind by Jiang Laosan.
Blood is thicker than water, and he trusted his family, which is why he sent the child here. But raising a child requires money, and Jiang Laosan wasn't unaware of this, so he left money for his parents and brothers.
Even if it's just for the money, why not help take care of them?
Unsurprisingly, the Jiang family was initially delighted, but as the number of children increased and Jiang Laosan's whereabouts became increasingly unpredictable, their expectations waned.
That's why the idea of marrying the original owner into the family to take care of the children came about.
Perhaps feeling guilty and afraid of being discovered while living under the same roof, they sent the original owner, who had just entered the house, to live alone here.
However, I didn't see Jiang Mingyi threatening Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Er Sao. It's always been the case that the majority of the money left behind by Jiang Lao San was taken by Jiang Lao Da.
Considering that Boss Jiang had always dealt with government officials, one could roughly guess what the money was intended for.
Gu An'an's expression turned slightly serious. "If you threaten him, aren't you afraid he'll resort to desperate measures?"
Killing someone with such a slow, deliberate knife is the most painful. Now that Boss Jiang thinks he's different because of his status, he might actually do something outrageous.
In any case, as an adult, he has plenty of ways to deal with Jiang Mingyi, a mere teenager.
Thinking of this, Gu An'an said very solemnly, "We cannot eat or take anything that is sent from there in the future."
Although using drugs is a very low-class method, it is necessary to be careful.
Jiang Mingyi looked at the serious-looking person and nodded, "I know."
He knew it was unwise to reveal his hand too early, but seeing the man acting like an official, he couldn't stand it.
If Jiang Yongshan really dares to act recklessly...
Jiang Mingyi wasn't afraid at all. As long as he had a breath left, he wouldn't let the other side have an easy time.
Just as the young man was making up his mind, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
He became more alert, but when he realized it was Gu An'an, the young man subtly relaxed his guard.
"We'll stew pheasant for lunch, go and kill the chicken."
Jiang Mingyi: "..." A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, a gentleman...
He really doesn't want to be the butcher, can we please not make him do it?
"Look at my memory, you..."
The young man's eyes lit up; perhaps his plea had been heard.
“The feathers on that pheasant’s tail are quite pretty. Be careful when you pluck them. I’m planning to make a shuttlecock for Bao’er to play with.”
Jiang Mingyi's eyes slowly dimmed as he watched Gu An'an go inside. The young man lowered his head and stomped his foot in frustration.
He silently recited "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen" three times before going to the cellar. He supported himself on the ground with his left hand, carefully gathered his clothes, and then jumped down with great decisiveness.
Gu An'an smiled, how could she not see through this boy's thoughts?
However, little friend, don't talk about the rules of scholars. When it comes to filling your stomach, who cares about so many old-fashioned rules?
Everything should give way to Grandpa Maslow's first need, okay?
Just as she turned to go inside, Gu An'an saw Jiang Mingzhu, who had somehow touched her from behind.
The pretty young girl's cheeks have become a little fuller lately. She's well-fed and can eat meat every now and then, so how could she not look good?
Seeing the worry in her eyes, Gu An'an asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Mingzhu hesitated for a moment, but then, thinking of her brother's personality, she couldn't help but say, "Brother is very clean."
"I know, I can tell."
It's obvious you even made her kill chickens.
For a moment, Jiang Mingzhu almost thought that she was doing it on purpose, deliberately torturing her brother.
The girl's eyes revealed all her emotions. In fact, Jiang Mingzhu, one of the main villains, was not very good at hiding her emotions.
In fact, in the original text, her affection for the male protagonist was not kept secret from too many people; the female protagonist knew, and even the old emperor knew.
However, the old emperor also used this favored concubine as a tool to hone the skills of the dynasty's young people.
As for the end, if the knife is damaged, just throw it away.
This villain, who later became the most talented woman through her own abilities, was ultimately just a pitiful person.
From beginning to end, I was manipulated.
Fortunately, the problem was corrected in time. Now, the child may occasionally feel dissatisfied and anxious, but most of the time he is a loving and adorable older brother, younger brother, and younger sister.
“Pearl, if one day you are forced by life to beg for a living, would you become a beggar?”
Upon hearing this question, Jiang Mingzhu froze in place—
To become a beggar?
