Chapter 532 Framed
Jiang Yadan returned home, washed her hands, rubbed her face, and started cooking. The fish in the basin were only the size of a palm and had many bones. If the child were to eat them, they could easily get choked.
Jiang Yadan scooped up some pork fat to lubricate the pot. After frying four eggs, he put the fish in and then poured in two bowls of water. After boiling for a while, the soup will turn snow-white.
Simply take out the fish and fry it until crispy, and you won’t have to worry about fish bones.
It just wastes more lard, but it's a rare opportunity to eat like this, so Jiang Yadan can relax a little.
When there was no spring planting, the family would eat lard by using a small piece of coarse cloth to dip some lard into the pot. It was just for taste and there was hardly any oil visible.
"It smells so good! Auntie's cooking is the best." The smell of fish soup coming from the kitchen made the two children drool.
"Auntie will serve two bowls of soup for you and your sister. You can go outside to drink." Jiang Yadan was about to take the bowls.
The two children shook their heads.
At the same time, he said, "No, wait until Dad comes back."
"Mom, I have to wait for my uncle."
"Okay, you guys be good. Let's wait until everyone is together and eat together. I'm going to knead the dough. You two go play outside." Jiang Yadan turned her head and started kneading the dough.
The chimney above the kitchen was emitting green smoke, which was blown towards the north by the wind and soon merged with the clouds in the sky.
The sun was shining brightly, and the golden light made Jiang Kang blind.
He sat on the doorstep with his sister, waiting for his father to come home.
Jiang Zhuzi, who was working in the fields at that time, had just turned over the last acre of land. When he looked up, he found that the villagers had gone back one after another.
After wiping the sweat off his face, he also left with his farm tools.
The figures move from far to near, from small to large.
"Dad, Auntie has already prepared the meal~"
"uncle--"
The shouts of his son and niece reached his ears at the same time, and Jiang Zhuzi quickened his pace.
Different from the warmth of Jiang Kang's family, the Chang'an Town at that time.
Sun Xiaotao was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and admitting her mistake.
There was a big palm print on her cheek, her hair was messy, and her hairpins were scattered all over the floor.
But she didn't care at all.
Because Gao Caijin in front of her was staring at her angrily.
"Master, I am innocent. I did nothing wrong. It was this maid who slandered me. She must have wanted to climb into your bed, and that's why she hurt me. Master, you have to find out the truth.
Give me a clean name. I have a good relationship with my sister, how could I possibly harm her? I wish my sister Lan would give you a son. Master, don’t be fooled by this bastard…”
Sun Xiaotao pointed at Cai'er and cursed.
Her snot and tears mixed together as she stared at the wolf.
"You are still making excuses here, you vicious woman! You are so brave! Xiaolan is pregnant, and instead of taking good care of her, you go out on your own to buy the medicine and even want to harm her. I think you want to die!
You beast! If the maid Cai'er hadn't seen you putting drugs in Xiaolan's food and had come to find me, my son would have been killed by you! God has eyes and couldn't bear to see me childless for the rest of my life, so Xiaolan is fine now."
Gao Caijin interrupted Sun Xiaotao and looked at her viciously.
Gao Caijin became angrier and angrier as he spoke. He even stood up from his chair, ran to Sun Xiaotao, and kicked her in the heart.
"Bang--"
This kick used almost 100% of his strength.
Gao Caijin is also fat.
So Sun Xiaotao was kicked out and fell heavily to the ground. She covered her chest with her hands, her facial features distorted in pain.
I couldn't get up for a long time.
"Grandpa, I." Sun Xiaotao gasped and wanted to explain, but her chest was so painful and there was a rusty taste in her mouth that she couldn't utter a complete sentence.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
Sun Xiaotao's face became redder and redder.
"Puff——" The next second, she actually spat out a mouthful of blood, lay down straight, and fainted.
"Oh, sister, are you okay? Master, sister has fainted. Actually, I am fine. Master, you beat sister like this. How can she give birth to a son for you in the future?
Master, I am also at fault. I almost, almost failed to protect our son. Master, please punish me. I know I was wrong. Please don’t get angry. I hope you live a long and healthy life, and watch our son grow up, get married and have children.”
Xiaolan pretended to cry and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
A dark light flashed across her eyes and disappeared in an instant.
She just hugged Gao Caijin's arm, started to act coquettishly, and then started to apologize crying.
"You did nothing wrong. It was all because of that bitch. She saw that you were pregnant and got jealous. She drugged you and your child to kill you. Luckily, Cai'er saw it and ran over to tell me. I then came here with my servants.
Fortunately, everything is still in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. As long as you and your son are fine, it is worth it even if I beat this jealous woman to death! Cai'er is a good maid and is useful. I want to reward her! Cai'er, tell me what you want and I will satisfy you. "
Gao Caijin stretched out his right hand and touched Xiaolan's still flat belly.
Then he praised to Cai'er, the maid beside him.
"Thank you, sir. I don't ask for any reward. Master Lan is always kind to me and never mistreats me. He even treats me like a sister and we live and eat together. I am so lucky to have such a good master. Even if I am asked to risk my life for Master Lan, I am willing to do so.
I saw Master Tao putting drugs into Master Lan's food, so I hurried to find you. Please punish Master Tao severely. When you are not around, Master Tao always bullies Master Lan. Master Lan is kind-hearted and never tells you. She..."
"Cai'er, stop talking!"
Just when Cai'er was complaining to Gao Caijin.
Xiaolan pretended to be angry and stopped her.
"It's okay. Go on. I'm not here on weekdays. How did this bitch bully Xiaolan?"
When Gao Caijin heard this, his face turned so dark that ink seemed to drip out of it.
He patted Xiaolan's hand, signaling her not to be afraid, and then let Cai'er continue speaking.
"Master Lan is pregnant and cannot stand the smell of oil. If she wants to eat vegetarian food, she can still eat it when Master is here, but as soon as Master is gone, Master Tao will order me to cook her meat and fish. If I don't do it, she will beat me. Master, please take care of it."
Cai'er lifted up her sleeves, and her forearms were covered with red marks, which were obviously caused by being beaten with bamboo sticks.
It's only the beginning of spring and the clothes are not thin, but they are still whipped like this. It's enough to show how much force was used.
What a vicious heart.
"Master Lan felt sorry for me and couldn't bear to see me beaten again. She was also afraid that Master Tao would go crazy and harm the unborn young master, so she had to tolerate her. Every time I saw Master Lan in pain, I got angry, but I didn't dare to complain, for fear that after Master Tao had scolded her, she would bully Master Lan even more."
