Chapter 1004 Reunion with the Dengs
The Jiang family was in a mess. Jiang Ren had disappeared, and the third son, Jiang Li, was afraid that the creditors would come after him, so he directly said that he had severed ties with the Jiang family.
The two elders of the Jiang family aged rapidly, and Jiang's mother fell seriously ill and passed away not long after.
Finally, Jiang Yi stepped forward and took over the entire Jiang family.
In just four short months, he not only brought the Jiang family back to life, but also showed signs of taking it a step further.
When Jiang Yi took over, he didn't have much money, but fortunately, he was a righteous person who was usually quiet, and many people were willing to lend him money.
Moreover, everyone knew at that time that Jiang Yi's wife, Deng, had a cousin, Chang, who was the wife of the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.
For that reason alone, everyone was willing to take a gamble on Jiang Yi.
The Jiang family was saved from danger under Jiang Yi's leadership, but Jiang Ren, who had been missing, suddenly returned and wanted to take back the Jiang family. Jiang Li also jumped out and said that he was just an illegitimate son and could not compare to Jiang Yi's noble status.
This time, not only the Jiang family members, but also the people of Jiangyuan County couldn't stand it anymore.
Jiang Yi no longer wanted to be passive and unambitious like before. He and Deng Shi joined forces to drive the two of them out.
The eldest and third wives now live in small houses outside the city, a stark contrast to their previous lives.
Now, the Jiang family is occupied by Jiang Yi and the Deng family, and the Jixiang Wine Shop must have hired a new manager.
Shu Yu walked into the shop, wanting to buy the wine she had bought before, but looking at the completely renovated furnishings, she didn't know where to look.
She could only walk to the counter, "Shopkeeper, I..."
"Lu Xiangjun?" The woman behind the counter looked up.
Shu Yu was also taken aback. "Mrs. Jiang, you... I thought you had hired a new manager for your shop."
Madam Deng quickly came out from behind the counter, smiling as she invited Shu Yu in. "We have indeed hired a new manager, but he's quick-witted. My husband went on a business trip these past two days, so he took him with him. That's why I've come to keep an eye on things. Come, Mr. Lu, please sit down. I'll have someone bring some tea."
Shu Yu quickly stopped her, "No need, Mrs. Jiang, my sister is still waiting for me outside. I just came to buy two jugs of wine, the same kind as last time."
Upon hearing this, Deng stopped and pointed to a counter on the left, saying, "I remember, I'll get it for you."
She had a good memory and quickly brought out two jugs of wine.
Shu Yu had just paid and was about to leave when she saw a staggering figure walking towards her.
As soon as I reached the door, I tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.
Shu Yu was startled and instinctively protected the wine pot, taking two steps back.
Ms. Deng exclaimed, "Oh dear, are you alright, sir?" She turned to the shop assistants and called out, "Xiao Shu, you two come and lend a hand."
Two men ran over and helped the man up, one on each side.
The man lowered his head and waved his hand. "It's nothing, I'm fine. Shopkeeper, give me, give me two jugs of wine, the strongest I can find. *burp*"
Mrs. Deng frowned. "You're already drunk, and you still want to buy more wine?"
"I'm not drunk, I can still drink, I can still drink! Bring me some wine, hurry up! Otherwise, I'll... I'll tear down this dilapidated house of yours! Heh, what's so great about that? Nothing at all!!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand vigorously, shouting, "Go get it now!!"
As soon as he moved and looked up, Shu Yu could see his face clearly, and it seemed... somewhat familiar.
