Chapter 40: Worship



A few days later, Jiang Cheng went to the village to buy some paper money, intending to go to worship A Niang with Song Tingzhi.

He told her about his marriage and brought Song Tingzhi to show his mother.

In the morning, the two of them went out after breakfast.

Bai Wei's tomb is next to Taohua Village, not far from Xinghua Village, so we can walk there.

On the way, Song Tingzhi held a basket full of paper money in one hand and held Jiang Cheng's hand with the other.

"Why aren't you happy?"

Song Tingzhi felt that Jiang Cheng looked listless today.

"It's okay, I just miss my mother."

Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng still remembers that when he was a child, he liked to eat all kinds of sweets. At that time, he seldom went to the town, and the sweets he ate were all made for him by Bai Wei.

Bai Wei always had a good temper, but if he was bullied by other children in the village, Bai Wei would pick up a stick and run to the other side to seek justice.

When Bai Wei was around, Jiang Cheng felt like he was the happiest child in the world.

But the good times didn't last long, she fell seriously ill.

Even if Jiang Maocai asked a doctor to see him, it would be useless.

She died soon after, and after her burial, Jiang Maocai married Chen Mei and had a child named Jiang Caiyun.

In fact, when Jiang Cheng grew up and became sensible, he sometimes wondered why such a good person like A Niang would marry Jiang Maocai?

He is of average appearance and his family has some land.

At first Jiang Cheng thought that the two were very loving, but now it seems that is not the case.

In his impression, it was always Jiang Maocai who was trying to please Bai Wei, and the relationship between the two was not like that of a normal couple at all.

But now Jiang Cheng doesn’t want to think so much anymore.

I have been "missing" for so long, but Jiang Maocai didn't even think about looking for me. I just thought I had no parents!

Jiang Cheng and Song Tingzhi talked a lot, and he always felt that there must be some hidden reason why A Niang married Jiang Maocai.

But now that one of the parties involved has passed away, Jiang Cheng didn't want to look for Jiang Maocai, so he kept his doubts in his heart.

The two soon arrived at Bai Wei's grave, and Jiang Cheng looked at the tombstone in a daze.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tombstone clean.

"Mother, I'm here to see you."

Jiang Cheng started to cry as he spoke.

Song Tingzhi used branches to circle out an open space, took out a fire starter, blew it up, and took out some paper money to burn.

"Mother, I'm married." Jiang Cheng pulled Song Tingzhi aside, "He's a very good man, and he's also very kind to me. I'll take good care of myself! You can rest assured in heaven!"

"Mother, I'm Song Tingzhi. I will definitely take good care of Jiang Cheng and won't let him get hurt. If I treat him badly in the future, come find me!"

After saying this, Song Tingzhi kowtowed four times.

Then they started burning paper money.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Jiang Cheng heard what Song Tingzhi said and quickly went over to cover his mouth.

"It's okay!" Song Ting took out a hand and touched Jiang Cheng's head.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, knelt down and kowtowed several times.

Time passed quickly as Jiang Cheng burned paper money and talked to his mother.

After burning it, Jiang Cheng said a few more words and planned to leave with Song Tingzhi.

The two had just walked a short distance when Jiang Cheng heard someone calling him.

"Chengcheng?"

Jiang Cheng turned around and saw Jiang Maocai.

He also carried paper money.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and looked at him without saying anything.

"Is it Chengcheng?" Jiang Maocai looked at the person not far away and walked forward a few steps.

"Where have you been?"

When he got closer, Jiang Maocai was sure that it was his eldest son.

"I couldn't stay at home any longer, so I went out to find a place."

Jiang Cheng looked at the person who was gradually approaching with a complicated expression.

"Nonsense! How can you not stay at home?"

Jiang Maocai retorted subconsciously.

"Really?"

Jiang Cheng asked back with a sarcastic expression on his face.

Who asked him to marry in place of someone else?

Jiang Maocai seemed to have thought of something and felt a little guilty.

But after seeing Song Tingzhi next to Jiang Cheng, I always felt that he looked a little familiar.

"Who is he?" Jiang Maocai asked.

"I'm married, and he's my husband!"

Jiang Cheng said expressionlessly.

"When did you get married? Why didn't you tell your family?" Jiang Maocai was startled and a little angry.

"There's nothing much to say. His name is Song Tingzhi."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he watched Jiang Maocai's expression change again and again, like spilled paint.

"Song Tingzhi? That's not..."

"Yes, it's Song Tingzhi, the one you wanted me to marry off in place of Jiang Caiyun!"

Jiang Cheng interrupted Jiang Maocai and calmly revealed the truth.

"This..." Jiang Maocai thought for a moment and sighed, "In this case, I should bring someone back to take a look."

"There's nothing good to see. Haven't you seen it before?"

"Dad knows you're blaming us, but you have to go home and see your mother. She's very worried about you."

"Besides, you have your own family, so you have the confidence to stay at your husband's house more often!"

Jiang Maocai said.

"Worried about me? It's good enough that she doesn't want me to die?" Jiang Cheng seemed to have heard something funny. "Dad, if you really want to be good to me, don't tell her about your encounter with me today when you go back. Just treat me as if I'm gone. That way we'll both be fine!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you!" Jiang Maocai promised.

"That's good, Dad. I'm going back first!"

Jiang Cheng didn't quite believe it, but he still believed it first. He said something to Jiang Maocai and then took Song Tingzhi away.

Song Tingzhi nodded towards Jiang Maocai as a greeting.

Jiang Maocai looked at the backs of the two people as they left and sighed.

Fortunately, his child with Bai Wei is still alive, otherwise Jiang Maocai would not know how to face Bai Wei after his death.
