Without further ado, before the sister-in-law could hide, he quickly grabbed the fox by the tail!
Jiang Zhi was very interested in Nie Fantian's background. Was he an illegitimate child born from his sister-in-law's unplanned pregnancy, or the eldest son who had been abandoned after usurping the throne?
If you take into account the male protagonist's tragic past, there must be a secret behind it.
Wang Xiaoju was also interested.
This is so interesting! In the past, we watched the wife catch the vixen; now it's the sister-in-law catching the sister-in-law.
She eagerly offered her advice: "Aunt Jiang, I know where that courtyard is!"
Although the old woman deliberately took a roundabout route when leading the way, it didn't stop Wang Xiaoju.
She grew up in a small town, and she was perfectly at home in the city. Like a dragon returning to its deepest abyss, she was not afraid of even the most secluded places.
I remember every place I've been to during these past few months of work.
This time, he was even more careful, silently reciting the route to that courtyard in his mind.
Jiang Zhi said to Wang Xiaoju, "Don't rush, let's gather our manpower first!"
It's busy farming season and the village is short-handed, so it's not convenient to make a big fuss about this. Jiang Zhi only plans to take a few women from the village to arrest the people.
One is the Liu family.
Liu was in her fifties and had practically watched Lan grow up. With her cousin-in-law around, it was like having parents and elders around.
One is the Qin family.
When dealing with Wang Xiaoju in the past, Qin Shi was very powerful, and Jiang Zhi felt that Qin Shi had great potential to be tapped.
Most importantly, Qin Shi and her aunt are not much different in age. When Qin Shi married into the family, Lan Xiaogu was not yet married, and they were already acquaintances.
Besides her two sisters-in-law from her own family, Jiang Zhi also planned to bring her two nephews' wives, Pi Shi and Wang Xiaoju.
These two are young, quick-witted, strong, and eloquent; they're not afraid of a physical fight, making them a true force to be reckoned with.
With this team of old, middle-aged and young people working together, Jiang Zhi felt that her villainous role was becoming more and more powerful.
Errui has been extremely busy these past few days, constantly checking on the pharmacy and the fields. He was a little surprised by his mother's sudden request for help: "Mother, are you going to the city?"
Jiang Zhi nodded: "Yes, I heard from your sister-in-law Wang that there are ghosts in the city these days. I want to go see the excitement. You take care of things at home!"
Xu Errui: "...Mom, I'm busy right now, how could you have time to go and watch the excitement!"
The matter was still unclear, and Jiang Zhi didn't plan to tell Er Rui: "Then can't I, as the mother, go to the city to relax and enjoy life?"
After sending away the bewildered Errui, Qin and Liu arrived one after the other.
Qin was summoned from the fields.
Pulling at her sweat-dampened clothes, she asked, somewhat bewildered, "Sister Jiang, are you taking me to the market?"
Jiang Zhi nodded: "I'm taking you to the market. Go back now, change into clean clothes, tie your hair up, and dress neatly!"
"That won't do, it'll cost me a day's work points!" Qin Shi also started to act coy.
It's not that she doesn't want to go, but Genqing is working at the pharmacy, and Lianhua is heavily pregnant and can't do heavy work. She's the only one in the family who can earn work points.
If I leave, I won't earn any work points, and Genqing will have to pay me out of pocket later.
Jiang Zhi glared at her: "Come to the city with me, I'll give you work points and three feet of cloth, are you coming or not?"
Qin slapped her thigh: "Go, of course I'm going, Sister Jiang, don't try to fool me!"
Going to the city to shop for free and even getting freebies—that's a dream come true; only a fool wouldn't go.
So, Qin left, feeling both happy and somewhat bewildered.
Liu rushed over, her face grim and her brows furrowed, clearly having already received the news from Wang Xiaoju.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhi, Liu handed her a small package: "Er Rui's mother, take a look at this!"
Jiang Zhi took it and opened it. Inside was half a quilt cover, embroidered with some adorable little children dressed in red and green, some holding lotus pods and leaves, others playing football...
