"This..." Jiang Nuan was speechless. "Why is this child like this?"
"Exactly, it really made me so angry!"
She once thought she had accumulated enough disappointment, but now she realizes that there is no limit to disappointment, only greater disappointment.
When did my perfectly healthy son become so cowardly and irresponsible?
“We can’t let them get away with this this time,” Jiang Nuan said, expressing her opinion. “They’re all grown up, yet they act without any sense of propriety and are willing to risk everything. What will become of them in the future?”
What terrified her even more was that this was the future clan leader of Huangjiakou.
He's already this powerful even before becoming the clan leader. If he becomes the clan leader, who knows how many people he'll kill?
"I understand," Sister-in-law Huang said through gritted teeth, her face grim. "This time, we can't let him get away with this. Your brother will beat him so badly he won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."
She would rather take care of her son than let him go out and harm others!
“Just hitting him won’t work,” Jiang Nuan said, sharing her experience. “He also needs to experience the dangers of the world.”
Why is my nephew so bad at planning things?
Fearless? Unafraid of death?
You're kidding me!
I just felt that it wasn't a big deal to make a mistake, since my family would cover for me.
It's also possible that they don't feel they've done anything wrong at all, but only feel that the whole world doesn't understand them.
Jiang Nuan felt that these kinds of people were simply lacking the harsh realities of society.
When you are all alone and helpless, with nowhere to turn, you will understand the true meaning of the saying "think thrice before you act".
Originally, Jiang Nuan did not intend to get involved in the affairs of the old house, especially the education of her eldest grandson.
But this incident made her realize that this nephew was extremely dangerous and had gone astray. If he wasn't properly disciplined, everyone would have to revolve around him for the rest of their lives.
"What should we do?" Sister Huang asked, puzzled. "Should we kick them out?"
She can't do that.
She could be ruthless if she had another son.
But now, the son is the only son, and there is no sign of a grandson yet. The Huang family line has not been continued. If something happens to the son, their line will die out.
"Going out to gain experience is definitely necessary; there's no harm in it."
"Hmm, let me think about it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan said no more and went straight home.
At home, when Xie saw the people return, she immediately rushed over, her big, dark eyes full of admiration, "Mom, you are really amazing!"
If it weren't for the children she had at home to take care of, she would have wanted to go with them.
Not only did they defeat the bandits, but they also raided their stronghold and gained so many benefits.
"Hey, who told you that?"
“The village aunties,” Xie replied, “have men coming back to their homes with lots of silver. They also said there will be grain to be distributed in a few days. And all of this depends on Mother.”
“That’s an exaggeration,” Jiang Nuan explained with a smile. “Last night’s events were mainly handled by everyone; Mother was just taking advantage of the situation.”
“I don’t believe it,” Xie said, pouting. “Besides Mother, who else could accomplish such a big thing?”
“It’s the truth,” Jiang Nuan said with a hint of helplessness. “Without everyone, I couldn’t have done anything.”
"In short, Mom is the best."
"Whatever you want," Jiang Nuan gave up arguing. "Did anything happen at home last night?"
"The second son of the Tie family came to report that his brother has left home," Xie sneered. "That cowardly bastard, he showed up as soon as we arrested him. He picked the perfect time!"
She didn't believe that the second son of the Tie family could time things so perfectly. He was probably hiding somewhere, waiting for them to catch the person before shamelessly coming over to claim credit.
Not only were the three Tie brothers plotting against their own family, but this second Tie brother was doing the same. If the Tie brothers succeeded, he would take advantage of the chaos and make a profit; if the Huang family lost, he would use the opportunity to claim credit and make money.
People who aren't smart only think about nice things!
What I hate most in my life is this kind of opportunist; you never know when they'll stab you in the chest.
"How did you handle it?" Jiang Nuan asked curiously.
Of the three daughters-in-law, only Jiaojiao could not tolerate the slightest imperfection.
If it were one of the other two, they would have swallowed the disgust themselves, but Jiaojiao would never do that.
She's not one to compromise herself!
"Mother, guess." A mischievous glint flashed in Madam Xie's eyes.
"They beat you up?"
"Not only that, after my daughter-in-law beat him with a broom, she had him locked up with the other members of the Tie family," she said with a sigh. "After all, they are good brothers, we can't be so heartless as to break them up."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You're such a clever little devil!"
Right now, the second son of the Tie family is probably having a tough time.
It wasn't just a bad time; Tie Lao Er almost died at the hands of his own brother, but luckily the government arrived in time and saved his life.
The three brothers had already remembered the old man Tie had run away at a crucial moment, and they were all thinking about finding a chance to deal with him later.
Today, however, he discovered that his own brothers not only abandoned him but also betrayed him.
Immediately, seeds of doubt sprouted. They felt that the ambush at Huangjiakou must have been betrayed by that scoundrel Tie Lao Er.
With both old and new grudges combined, the three of them fought him with all their might.
Use your fists, kick, pinch with your nails, bite with your mouth...
At first, Tie Lao Er resisted, but when he realized it was useless, he simply gave up, hunched over, covered his face, and lay on the ground, letting his brothers beat him.
He felt that these people wouldn't dare to kill him; they would only suffer physical pain, which he could bear. Once he returned to the Tie family, he would immediately have the two elders exterminate these three people from their clan, ensuring that the three of them would live a miserable life for the rest of their days.
However, the three brothers' only hope was dashed. With no hope left, they showed no mercy to the person they hated to the core, and their attacks became increasingly severe and ruthless.
In no time, Tie Lao Er lost consciousness.
At this moment, Tie Laosan simply grabbed his neck, intending to finish off his second brother.
Fortunately, the constables arrived in time, and Tie Lao Er was lucky enough to save his life.
Even so, he was seriously injured and will not be able to do heavy work for at least a year or two.
"This is murder," Inspector Niu said, his face grim. "Don't you know that murder is a crime?"
"I'd be willing to be beheaded just to kill this bastard," Tie Laosan said with a sinister look. "If it weren't for him, how could we brothers have ended up like this?"
He didn't get a single penny, but instead faced imprisonment.
He didn't get to eat any mutton but got himself into a mess, and ended up getting himself into trouble as well.
“No matter the reason, you can’t kill people,” Inspector Niu sneered. “If everyone were like you, our Great Zhou would have been in chaos long ago.”
After learning who these people were, Inspector Niu became very dissatisfied with them.
Instead of being a decent person, he chose to commit arson, murder, and robbery. Now that things have come to this, instead of reflecting on his actions, he is thinking about killing people.
These kinds of people are a scourge to Ping'an County. The fewer people there are, the more peaceful Ping'an County will be.
