Fan Jiang might have been afraid before, but since the family separated, his parents, especially his mother, have taught him in a completely different way.
He kept his eyes down and replied, "My father isn't home. He should be home by tonight. If you're looking for him, come back tonight."
The three were taken aback when they found Fan Jin not at home.
Uncle Huang asked with dissatisfaction, "Where did your father go?"
"I just arrived in the prefectural city, and I'm afraid I won't get home until dark." Fan Jiang seemed honest and simple, answering every question.
Fan Qian looked confused.
On such a hot day, with the roads outside difficult to walk on and many disaster victims, what was Fan Jin doing running out?
He asked, "What did your father go to the prefectural city for?"
“Damu’s whole family sold themselves into slavery. Father used an oxcart to carry their belongings and send them off.”
Fan Qian's eyes widened, his face filled with shock.
How come he doesn't know when this happened!
He hadn't been back to the village for just one night, how could such a big thing have happened? He could barely keep up.
Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang were also surprised.
The floods have only just begun, and people in Shanshui Village are already selling themselves?
Fan Jiang raised his honest face, his smile equally simple: "Uncle, you don't know, Uncle Da Mu's master is Magistrate Wu!"
Uncle Da Mu said that my father offered to carry his belongings in an oxcart so he could introduce him to Magistrate Wu. He said that with Magistrate Wu's protection, our family would no longer be afraid of those bad people!
Upon hearing this, Fan Qian's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit.
He took in Fan Damu's family for so long, yet it's not as good as Fan Jin's oxcart ride. Fan Damu is truly a scoundrel.
They also need to introduce Magistrate Wu to Fan Jin. He is the magistrate, the highest-ranking official in Guangning Prefecture!
If Fan Jin had the county magistrate's protection in the future, wouldn't he be even more successful?
Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang looked at each other in bewilderment.
What? My nephew actually knows the county magistrate?
So, should they be careful what they say?
The two couldn't decide on the right tone for a moment and hesitated to take things further.
Fan Jiang looked at the three of them, but his attitude towards them was anything but friendly.
He's not an adult, so it's normal for him to talk nonsense when a relative he hasn't seen in a long time suddenly comes to visit.
Seeing his two uncles' hesitation, Fan Qian cleared his throat and said, "I have the closest friendship with Brother Da Mu. If Brother Da Mu can introduce me to my second brother, he will definitely introduce me to him as well."
It's also possible that I wasn't home, and he couldn't find me, so he had to settle for introducing me to his second brother. In a way, his second brother benefited from my connection.
Fan Jiang lowered his head, his eyes rolling so low they seemed to reach the sky.
My uncle really knows how to embellish his own image; if he hadn't made it up, I would have actually believed it.
Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang really believed it!
Upon hearing that her eldest nephew was closer to her, she felt her back straighten and her temper harden.
Uncle Huang instructed Fan Jiang, who was standing to one side: "Go and have your mother prepare two rooms for us to rest in."
They'd been traveling so fast they hadn't even had lunch, so they cooked some food and brought it inside.
Is this treating his mother like a servant?
This doesn't look like a visitor at all!
Fan Jiang truly didn't expect these two to be so shameless, no, so utterly shameless.
He didn't say a word and ran to his eldest sister's room, not to get his mother to do chores, but to discuss how to get rid of the three of them!
Uncle Huang and Uncle Huang also saw the other people.
