Chapter 512 Discovering the Secret
Zhang Juexia was naturally satisfied with Qin Eryong's arrangements. "I remember there were originally more than fifty households in the village. How many more have you recruited now?"
Qin Eryong calculated in his mind, "Including my sister's family, there are ten families in total."
Qin Eryong opened his mouth to tell her who it was, but Zhang Juexia was too lazy to listen. "You can arrange it however you want. If you need money, come to me."
"No need, sister-in-law, I've already thought about it. I can give each family two pounds of meat. The money in the farm can still be taken out."
"Oh well!"
Zhang Juexia was also hungry, so he prepared to eat.
Although Qin Eryong also stood up, Zhang Juexia still saw his hesitation in speaking, "Eryong, is there something wrong?"
Qin Eryong hesitated...
Zhang Juexia frowned, "Eryong, when did you become so nagging? I'm hungry. If you don't have anything important to do, I'm going to eat."
Qin Eryong mustered up his courage and said, "Sister-in-law, I met someone from your family."
"who?"
Zhang Juexia was really shocked by Qin Eryong's words. She had severed ties with her natal family long ago, so where did her natal family come from?
Qin Eryong scratched his head and said, "She's Zhang Qiuye's mother."
"Her? If we meet, we meet. What's there to say?"
Zhang Juexia turned around and was about to leave, but Qin Eryong stopped her, "Sister-in-law, I saw this woman with a strange man, and they were acting very intimately.
So, I became cautious and followed them for a while.
I saw them enter a house, so I asked the neighbors nearby. The information I got was incredible.”
Zhang Juexia also became interested and asked hurriedly, "What news?"
"The man said that they had been living there for a while, pretending to be a couple.
However, the man said that the two of them were very strange. The man was idle at home, but the woman had work to do.
The woman would only come back once every three to five days.
What's interesting is that the woman is only at home during the day and will definitely leave before the city gates close."
Qin Eryong told all the information he had obtained in one breath, then looked at Zhang Juexia nervously.
Qin Eryong explained, "Sister-in-law, I saw this incident accidentally. I didn't mean anything else. I just thought that this woman was from your family, so I paid some attention to her. Who knew I would find out this news?
If I don't tell you about this, I'll feel sorry for you.
But if I tell you, I’m afraid you can’t bear it, this…”
After listening to Qin Eryong's explanation, Zhang Juexia finally came to his senses. "Do you know their address?"
"I know, I know."
"Then let's have dinner and take me there."
"good!"
While eating, Zhang Juexia was absent-minded and kept thinking about Tian Caihong.
Qin Eryong looked at Zhang Juexia who had no appetite and felt very annoyed with himself for speaking too quickly. Why couldn't he wait and talk about it after dinner?
After dinner, Zhang Juexia didn't even want to rest. She couldn't wait to ask Qin Eryong to take her to Tian Caihong's residence in Shunhe County.
Qin Eryong drove the carriage while comforting Zhang Juexia, "Sister-in-law, don't take this matter to heart. Maybe I recognized the wrong person!"
Zhang Juexia kept staring outside, "Eryong, don't worry, I don't take this matter to heart at all.
I'm just curious. What is the charm of Tian Caihong that still has men around her at her age?
Not long after my mother passed away, Zhang Defu married Tian Caihong.
Compared to the days my mother and I spent with Zhang Defu, she was enjoying a good life.
If this is true, I wonder how Zhang Defu would react when he finds out.
Eryong, do you think he will regret what he did back then?
Qin Eryong regretted his meddling at this time, and he stammered in response to Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia felt bored and closed his eyes to rest in the carriage.
After going back and forth, the carriage finally arrived at the destination.
Qin Eryong stopped the carriage before asking Zhang Juexia to get off.
Zhang Juexia thought for a moment and said, "I won't get off the carriage. You go find someone you don't know and find a way to get the door open.
That way I can see their faces clearly from the carriage."
Qin Eryong felt that this method was safe. "Sister-in-law, when the door opens, no matter what you see, stay calm."
Zhang Juexia smiled, "Eryong, don't worry, I will consider the baby in my belly."
"That's all right. That's all right."
Qin Eryong spent five cents to ask a peddler who went from door to door to open the door. The person who opened the door was Tian Caihong herself. When she heard that the peddler was asking for water, she cursed and wanted to drive him away.
"Go, go. I don't have any extra water for you to drink at home. Go somewhere cool."
The peddler, having received Qin Eryong's instructions, naturally refused to leave. "Madam, please be kind and give me a sip of water, just one sip. It's not easy for me to go door to door."
"What does your ease have to do with me?"
When Tian Caihong was about to close the door, the man at home came out and asked, "What are you doing? What a commotion!"
"A peddler who came to ask for water."
"It's just a sip of water. Why did you start a quarrel with him and disturb my sweet dream?"
The man was not stingy and came out with the teapot at home, "Drink it quickly and leave!"
Tian Caihong glared at the man and said, "I paid for the water and firewood. You seem to be a good person without any pressure at all."
"Why so much nonsense!"
With a bang, the door closed.
The peddler happily took the five cents given by Qin Eryong and left.
Qin Eryong asked Zhang Juexia nervously, "Sister-in-law, shall we go back?"
"Eryong, I know you have a lot of ideas. Find someone reliable to keep an eye on Tian Caihong and see if she leaves the city today.
Let someone go to Dahe Village to find out why Tian Caihong went out?
Also, have someone check this man's background."
Qin Eryong quickly responded, "Sister-in-law, I'll try to arrange it.
Sister-in-law, there might be some misunderstanding here, so don't take it too seriously."
Zhang Juexia curled his lips in disdain and did not respond to Qin Eryong's words.
Qin Eryong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. You and I know this matter. Even if it's Yulan, I won't tell her."
Zhang Juexia ignored Qin Eryong's words and just told him, "Eryong, let's go back!"
After returning home, Zhang Juexia asked Li Yun to deliver ten taels of silver to Qin Eryong. Qin Eryong pulled Li Yun nervously and said, "Sister-in-law Yang, does my sister-in-law have anything to say?"
Li Yun was puzzled as to why Qin Eryong was so excited. "No, my wife just told you not to save money. If you don't have enough money, ask her for more."
