Chapter 23: Safe Haven Move things to Liu's house

Jiang Tang gently let go of Qin Chuyang, and said softly, "Chuyang, we are going to look for your brother, but we have to make arrangements for our family before we go, otherwise bad people will come to our house and steal things, understand?"

She and Chu Yang could just walk away, but after they left, the Jiang family would inevitably do something sneaky to the empty Qin family.

I guess a lot of things at home can’t be kept.

She couldn't keep the Qin family's things and let the other party take advantage of her.

But she had to live in fear for the past ten days when Qin Xiao was not at home, and she was afraid that she would suffer from neurasthenia sooner or later.

I can't just stay at home like this.

But before leaving, you have to clean up the house.

Qin Chuyang touched his sister-in-law's face with his little hand, very sensible, "Sister-in-law, I know."

Jiang Tang felt relieved. There was no need to emphasize some things to the little guy. The little guy would understand.

She picked up the little girl and walked into the main room, looked around, and thought for a moment. The heavy objects and old furniture in the house could not be hidden.

Then put away everything else. Without giving it much thought, he started to put away the things in the kitchen and their clothes, and then let Sister-in-law Lu Fang help keep an eye on them.

Jiang Tang first took out a wooden box, then folded up all his clothes and put them in, leaving only a few sets of clothes for changing. After tidying up his room, he turned around and put the kid and Qin Xiao's things into the box.

The boy followed his sister-in-law closely, folding his own clothes to help her.

Jiang Tang stretched out his hand and hooked his little nose, his hands moving non-stop, and whispered, "Chuyang, let's go find brother, are you happy?"

Qin Chuyang smiled brightly, "Yeah, I'm happy. My brother, sister-in-law and I are all together."

He even assured her solemnly, "Sister-in-law, let's go find Guo Guo, and he will be happy too."

Jiang Tang folded her clothes and was silent. Qin Xiao must be happy to see the boy, but he probably wouldn't be so happy to see her.

She has this self-awareness.

She never thought that the man she feared the most would become her safe haven at this time.

Qin Chuyang was a little anxious when he saw that his sister-in-law didn't say anything, and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, Guoguo will be very happy to see you too!"

He likes his sister-in-law, and his brother likes his sister-in-law too!

Seeing the young man so eager to prove himself, Jiang Tang raised his hand and rubbed his head, "Well, I understand."

As long as the kid is happy.

She closed the packed box and looked at the empty house with only a few shabby pieces of furniture left.

She endured the burning pain in her back and stood up slowly.

I went out of the house and looked at the sky. It was already late.

I wanted to ask sister-in-law Lu Fang for help, and thought that I could at least treat her and her family to a meal.

There was still a lot of food left at home, enough to treat her and her family to a meal.

Since you are inviting someone to dinner, you should naturally bring out the best.

Jiang Tang thought about it and decided that it was still not too late to start doing it now.

After dinner, I discussed with my sister-in-law to move the things at home to her house for storage.

She went out of the yard, picked up the kitchen knife, and washed it clean.

This kitchen knife was a great help to her. It scared that bastard Jiang Hu away twice.

She walked into the bedroom with a kitchen knife and assigned Qin Chuyang a task.

"Chuyang, can you help my sister-in-law fill the iron pot with water?"

Seeing the little guy struggling to help her with his short legs, Jiang Tang moved a little faster.

She put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, walked to the stove and quickly lit the fire. She watched the boy go back and forth four or five times, slowly filling the water, and said with a smile, "Now we Chuyang just need to help sister-in-law watch the fire."

Qin Chuyang nodded his head fiercely, sat obediently on the pony, and carefully helped Jiang Tang stare at the fire in front of them.

Jiang Tang was afraid to let the boy get close to the fire at first, but after a few times he found that the boy was very well behaved and would not hurt himself, so he could now safely let him take charge of the fire.

She quickly washed the rice, put it on the stove and started cooking.

Then I started cooking.

She planned to make a braised pork and a boiled pork slices as the main dish.

The rest can be made into a cold dish, stir-fried shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a mushroom soup.

After thinking about the dishes to make, Jiang Tang wanted to prepare the braised pork and stew it first.

…

After stewing the braised pork, she looked at the sky outside. In order to prevent sister-in-law Lu Fang and her family from having breakfast later, she cut the meat slices neatly, then turned to the boy and said, "Chuyang, can you help sister-in-law to call Mingming and his mother to come home for dinner first?"

After hearing this, Qin Chuyang immediately put down the fire tongs in his hand, stood up and ran out.

A few seconds later, she heard the boy shouting, "Sister-in-law, I am too weak to open the door."

The door at the entrance was blocked tightly. Jiang Tang finally reacted and quickly put down the kitchen knife and walked out.

"Sister-in-law will help you move all the stones first."

She used all her strength to move the stones piled at the door one by one, removed the wooden sticks supporting the door, pulled out the bolt, and checked the door immediately. Jiang Hu was not there.

She heaved a sigh of relief, patted the dust off her hands, bent down and looked at Qin Chuyang, "Chuyang, can you help your sister-in-law call someone?"

Qin Chuyang nodded and ran out with his short legs.

Jiang Tang closed the door again and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Qin Chuyang ran to Lu Fang's house with great vigor without delaying anything.

He ran to the front door of Liu's house, raised his little hand and knocked hard on the door, shouting loudly inside, "Sister-in-law, Mingming."

Liu Jieming, who was playing in the mud in the yard, heard his friend's voice, immediately dropped the gravel in his hand, stood up and responded to the door, "Chuyang, you came to play with me!"

He ran to the door and called out to his mother in the house, "Mom! Chuyang is here to play with me."

Lu Fang heard the voices of two little kids and came out from the main room, along with Liu Lan.

She also heard Qin Chuyang's shout.

On the other side, Liu Jieming had already stood on tiptoe and tried hard to open the door for Qin Chuyang.

As soon as he opened the door, he reached out to Qin Chuyang.

Qin Chuyang glanced at his friend's dirty hand with disdain and did not shake it.

My sister-in-law always washes his hands and uses fragrant white soap. He is no longer the dirty boy he used to be. Now he loves to be clean.

My sister-in-law likes clean children.

Liu Jieming had no opinion on his friend's attitude and looked at Qin Chuyang enthusiastically, "Chuyang, you came to play with me, right?"

Qin Chuyang was not playful at all, and completed the task assigned by his sister-in-law seriously, "No, I'm here to invite you and your mother to have dinner at my house."

"Chuyang, your sister-in-law asked you to come and call us to dinner?"

Liu Lan and Lu Fang had already walked over and just heard Qin Chuyang say this. Liu Lan was a little confused.

Lu Fang called the child directly into the yard.

He squatted down and looked Qin Chuyang in the eye, then asked him patiently, "Chuyang, did your sister-in-law ask you to invite us over for dinner?"

Qin Chuyang answered seriously, "Well, my sister-in-law wants to ask you for help with something, so I came to find you and treat everyone to dinner."

The boy remembered it clearly, without missing a single detail.

"Tsk, I thought she would be kind enough to treat us to a meal, but it turns out she needs help."

Liu Lan couldn't help but groan, and then looked at Lu Fang and said sarcastically, "Sister-in-law, her daughter doesn't know how to cook. She just wanted to ask our family for help, so I guess she didn't cook anything."

She could hardly control her weird temper in front of Qin Chuyang.

A few days ago, Qin Xiao destroyed the entire Jiang family for the sake of his beautiful daughter-in-law. He was so angry that he risked his life for her. This matter spread far and wide, and everyone in Wuli Village knew about it.

When she heard it, she just thought it was ridiculous.

How could Brother Qin Xiao do such a thing for that woman?

It was obvious that the Jiang family took away Qin Xiaoge's betrothal gift and refused to return it. Qin Xiaoge did it for himself, not for Jiang Tang.

Now, everyone in the village knows that Qin Xiao, that cold and unkind man, loves his wife very much.

Jiang Tang is just pretty, but Brother Qin Xiao is not such a superficial person.

Liu Lan just felt extremely aggrieved. Now when she heard that woman wanted to treat her family to dinner, she couldn't help but put on a disdainful expression.

"Lan'er! Shut up!"

Lu Fang resisted the urge to lose her temper in front of Chu Yang and scold this ungrateful sister-in-law.

He took a deep breath and looked at Qin Chuyang with a smile, "Chuyang, we will go with you. Is there anything your sister-in-law needs to cook? We can bring it over to help, okay?"

In this period, every family is having a hard time. If Jiang Tang simply invited them to dinner, Lu Fang would not go, and no one would have an easy life.

But since I want to ask them for help, I have to go there anyway.

snort!

Qin Chuyang pouted his lips in dissatisfaction and shouted at them, "My sister-in-law can cook!"

He looked like he was protecting Jiang Tang.

Liu Lan felt even more depressed. It was clear that Qin Chuyang had been a thorn in Jiang Tang's side before, and it had only been a few days.

The Qin family, both old and young, worshipped that woman as their ancestor.

It's obvious that she is a young lady who knows nothing. No one in the village would be willing to marry her and worship her as a descendant. The Qin family is really weird.

Lu Fang patted the boy's shoulder gently, "Yeah, our Chuyang's sister-in-law is the best."

After she finished speaking, she looked up at Liu Lan, whose face was full of displeasure, and lowered her tone, "Lan'er, since you despise me, then don't go. Don't put yourself in a difficult position. I'll take my parents and Mingming with me."

"She invited us to her house, why shouldn't I go?"

She wanted to see what kind of inedible food that woman had cooked and how she had the nerve to invite them to dinner.

Seeing that she looked like she was going to cause trouble, Lu Fang was reluctant to take her with her.

I don't know what's wrong with this sister-in-law. She is usually carefree and kind, but when she treats Jiang Tang, she looks so annoying.

Qin Xiao helped her family so much on weekdays, and she would feel embarrassed if she saw Qin Xiao now.

All these years of help have been in vain, and I have helped such an ungrateful person.

Lu Fang went home, picked up a piece of bacon, and carried it out. Even if she was going out for a meal, she couldn't go out empty-handed.

A family of four is quite a lot.

Qin Chuyang stretched out his little hand to hold him, his little eyebrows wrinkled high, "Don't want anything! I want to treat you to a meal."

The boy was really sensible, much more sensible than her naughty son. Lu Fang patiently explained, "Can we bring it with an extra dish?"

Chuyang shook his head vigorously but refused to agree.

Lu Fang couldn't do anything about him; the little boy was just as stubborn as his brother.

She had no choice but to compromise and put the bacon back.

Seeing her like this, Qin Chuyang nodded with satisfaction.

Lu Fang was amused by the appearance of this little adult.

"Okay, Chuyang, let's go."

"Your Uncle Liu and the others are still in the field. Just call them when you pass by."

Several people walked out of the door. Lu Fang turned back to close the door, glared at Liu Lan who had a bad look on her face, and asked Xiao Chuyang to lead the way.

Watching my son following Chuyang in front.

She couldn't help but said, "Lan'er, a few days ago, Qin Xiao beat up Jiang Hu for his wife and asked for the betrothal gift back. This is his wife. I'll say it again, when your brother was not around, Qin Xiao helped our family so much. Don't be an ungrateful person."

Liu Lan was a little unconvinced, "Sister-in-law, Brother Qin Xiao will ask for the Jiang family's betrothal gift back sooner or later, not for Jiang Tang."

"Jiang Tang won't sincerely live with Brother Qin Xiao. They will separate sooner or later."

"If she's not suitable, who is? That Jiang Cui?! Jiang Cui was engaged to Qin Xiao. She used the betrothal gift to pay off her brother's troubles, and then she went to school with the betrothal gift from Qin Xiao. She stepped on Qin Xiao and found a date in the city. How can she be worthy of Qin Xiao?"

Lu Fang was furious, and even she, who was usually gentle, couldn't help but yell.

She pointed at her sister-in-law in front of her with hatred, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Did Qin Xiao go to the Jiang family only to ask for the betrothal money?"

"He took Jiang Tang into consideration first. He took back all the things that were confiscated from Jiang Tang by the Jiang family. He also made the Jiang family pay for all the things that were taken from Jiang Tang by Jiang Cui without any negotiation. If he didn't value his wife, why would he do all this?"

Seeing that her sister-in-law still looked unconvinced, she took a deep breath and pointed at Qin Chuyang who was leading the way in front.

"Look at Chuyang. His mother left him to Qin Xiao and ran away. What a life he has been through in the past year. He used to be chubby and cute, but such a big change happened in his family. In less than a year, he has become much thinner than ours. He is now dark and skinny. It makes people feel sad just looking at him."

"Now! Don't you have eyes? Can't you see that Chuyang is now clean and smells like soap. He has gained a lot of weight. Qin Xiao is not at home. Who raised this child? Do you need me to tell you clearly?"

"Don't listen to what the Jiang family says about her. Don't listen to what the villagers say about her, saying that she is a rich girl from the capital and can't get along with Qin Xiao."

"Use your own eyes to see! Look at Chu Yang's changes, and you will know how good a sister-in-law he is. Qin Xiao has married the right person."

She tried hard to reason with her sister-in-law, thinking that her sister-in-law was influenced by the lies made up by the girls in the village.

Liu Lan felt pent up in anger, and the more her sister-in-law talked, the more upset she felt.

She wanted to yell, Jiang Cui was not worthy of him, Jiang Tang was not worthy of him, no one in the Jiang family was worthy of him!

He acted like his sister-in-law was still young and ignorant, but he just walked forward and uttered "hmm" in a muffled voice.

She didn't want her sister-in-law to tell her how good Jiang Tang was. She didn't want to hear it at all.

Lu Fang looked at her back, held his breath and followed her.

The group walked to the ridge beside the road, and Lu Fang called out to the two elderly people who were looking at the ground, "Mom and Dad, come back."

When Father Liu heard his daughter-in-law's voice, he limped over with Mother Liu.

His leg was broken when he went up the mountain one time, and Qin Xiao carried him down the mountain. Since then, he has been limping, unable to move around easily and unable to do any heavy work.

Seeing the two elders coming over, Lu Fang explained the whole story to them.

Old Man Liu didn't say anything. He was supposed to help, and the whole family walked towards the Qin family's yard.

From a distance, they could see smoke rising from the Qin family's kitchen. When they got closer, the rich aroma filled the Liu family's nostrils. It was so fragrant.

Lu Fang was a little surprised and took a deep breath. "It smells so good. Comrade Jiang Tang must have made something delicious."

It made her, an adult, a little greedy.

Old Man Liu and the others couldn't help but nod their heads. The fragrance was so overbearing that it made people drool.

Qin Chuyang's face was full of pride. The little master also stepped forward and knocked on the door, his voice rising a few tones, "Sister-in-law~ Wo Fei is here."

Jiang Tang's voice immediately came from the room, "We Chuyang are back, wait for me for a while."

The little guy put his hands behind his back, held his head high and chest puffed out. He had successfully completed the task assigned to him by his sister-in-law.

If his sister-in-law kisses him later, he will not object.

The boy's proud look amused Lu Fang and made her think Jiang Tang was better.

Jiang Tang wiped his hands, walked quickly to the door and opened it for them.

She smiled as soon as she met me, and everyone she saw was sweet, "Sister-in-law, Aunt Liu, please come in."

She welcomed the family into the house, and the young man, as the host, naturally stepped back to be the last one to enter.

Jiang Tang smiled and gave the little guy a big thumbs up.

Well done!

Qin Chuyang was happy.

Jiang Tang hurried to the main room and brought them stools.

She was not actually familiar with the Liu family and felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lu was considerate and said, "Jiang Tang, whatever you cook is more delicious than what the chefs in the county's state-owned hotels cook."

Liu Lan couldn't help but say, "When has my sister-in-law ever eaten food from a state-owned restaurant? She even knew that the food she cooked was better than the one in the hotel."

There was a hint of pettiness in his words.

In front of Jiang Tang, Lu Fang couldn't get angry and just said, "I haven't eaten anything from a state-owned restaurant, but I have smelled it. The taste is a little worse than Comrade Jiang Tang's."

Jiang Tang knew that she was giving him face, so he smiled and said, "The food is ready. Sister-in-law, you two can decide whether to eat in the yard or in the main hall."

Lu Fang didn't want to bother with her sister-in-law either. She smiled at Jiang Tang and said, "Let's eat in the yard. Come on, I'll go with you to set the table."

Jiang Tang nodded and said to Liu's father and mother, "Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, I have already prepared water for you. There is soap next to it. Wash your hands first. Dinner will be served soon."

After saying that, she hurriedly went to the main room with Mrs. Lu to move the table.

Qin Chuyang puffed out his chest, looked like a host, and took Liu's father and the others to wash their hands.

She told them seriously, "My sister-in-law said that you should wash your hands first, and then do the massage. You should wash every part of your hands thoroughly, otherwise there will be bacteria and you will get sick."

He looked up at Liu Jieming complacently, "Mingming, you didn't even wash it thoroughly. Let me teach you how to use the seven-step hand washing method."

Seeing Liu Jieming staring at him in admiration, Qin Chuyang grinned, "Wash your palms, wash the backs of your hands, cross your hands, wash your fingers, wash your thumbs, rub your palms, rub your wrists~"

The little mouth chattered as he washed.

Seeing Liu Jieming following suit, Master Qin nodded with satisfaction.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing, but they couldn't help but wash their hands as the kid said.

Liu Lan also came over to wash her hands with them. Qin Chuyang said that all this was taught to him by Jiang Tang.

Humph! It's useless to be fussy.

Jiang Tang is now a real country girl, but she still practices the city ways.

She looked disdainful, but couldn't help but remember all the steps Qin Chuyang told her, thinking about showing off to others sometime.

Jiang Tang and Lu Fang worked together to bring out the table, and then they listened to the young man teaching seriously, feeling quite happy.

I couldn't help but praise him, "Chu Yang is really amazing, he remembered everything."

When Qin Chuyang saw Jiang Tang leaving the house, he couldn't help looking in her direction with his big eyes. Now that he received the compliment from his sister-in-law, his little face became even more radiant.

Lu Fang could feel the changes in the little guy the most. He became more sunny and cheerful, and Jiang Tang must have been involved in this.

After moving the table and chairs, the two went into the kitchen and brought the dishes to the table one by one.

There were five dishes, one soup, and two main dishes: braised pork and boiled pork slices. It was a very rich meal for six people.

Everyone sat down, and the whole family stared at the delicious food on the table, which was very tempting.

Mother Liu couldn't help but say, "This is too rich, Comrade Jiang Tang, you are so thoughtful."

Jiang Tang shook her head, and it seemed as if she always had a smile on her face. She looked so sweet that people liked her.

"Auntie, as long as you like it."

I still want to ask for help, but I have to make the guests satisfied.

Before he even started eating, Father Liu said, "Fang Er told me that there's trouble at home? Tell us quickly, we will definitely help if we can."

Jiang Tang pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Liu, it's not a big deal. Let's eat first, and I'll tell you after we're done."

She didn't want to tell it now, for fear of making everyone lose their appetite.

Seeing her say this, Father Liu nodded.

Everyone then started to eat.

Several members of the Liu family started eating some side dishes, and Jiang Tang quickly noticed it.

She picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised pork for Liu Jieming first, and said softly, "Mingming, eat more meat and grow taller."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Fang and the others and said, "Sister-in-law, it's a rare opportunity for me to treat you to a meal. Things are getting better and better at home now, and it's not as difficult as before. Don't be polite. You have to eat it all to prove that you really think highly of my cooking skills."

After she said that, everyone got impatient and started eating the braised pork and boiled pork slices with their chopsticks.

Qin Chuyang pouted and stared at Jiang Tang with his big black grape eyes in a soft voice, looking a little pitiful, "Sister-in-law, I can't get enough meat."

Jiang Tang turned his head and looked at the meat right in front of the little guy.

…

After a moment of silence, even though he didn't understand what the little boy meant, he still followed his lead and gave the boy some braised pork.

Qin Chuyang ate the meat picked by his sister-in-law with a slurry, his eyes rolling at the meat in Liu Jieming's bowl.

He tilted his head and asked Jiang Tang to pick up some boiled pork slices for him. Only when the small bowl was filled with the dishes that his sister-in-law had picked up for him did he feel satisfied.

Although Jiang Tang didn't understand, he did as he was told.

Lu Fang picked up a piece of braised pork. The meat was tender and full of rich juice. When she put it in her mouth, the aroma of meat filled her mouth. She couldn't be more satisfied.

The juice seeps into the rice, the color is tempting, and even the juice can make people eat two bowls of rice.

Liu Jieming's mouth was bulging, and he ate the meat in his mouth in big mouthfuls. He couldn't wait to look at Qin Chuyang, "Chuyang, can you lend me your sister-in-law for a few days? The meat smells so good."

He wanted Chuyang's sister-in-law to be his sister-in-law, so that he could eat the delicious meat.

Qin Chuyang rejected it fiercely, "Humph! No way!"

After saying this, he turned away and didn't even look at Liu Jieming.

He wishes!

Liu Lan had been resisting the urge to pick up the braised pork and boiled pork slices.

But this Jiang Tang can even make these ordinary side dishes taste delicious.

Thinking about what I said before I came here that this young lady definitely can't cook, my face is now burning with pain.

Watching her sister-in-law and parents pinching each other's flesh unconsciously.

Liu Lan still felt a little resentful in her heart, wondering why her parents and sister-in-law didn't think of giving a piece to their daughter and sister-in-law!

The aroma of meat kept entering her nose. Seeing that the braised pork was getting less and less, Liu Lan couldn't help herself and picked up a piece with her chopsticks.

When he put it in his mouth, his eyes widened, and all his picky thoughts disappeared. He couldn't help but pick up another piece.

Lu Fang found her actions to be very ugly and couldn't help but have some opinions.

He looked disgusted at first, but now he seems to be eating without hesitation.

Her sister-in-law is really... she doesn't know how to teach.

She couldn't say it directly in front of Jiang Tang now. She would wait until she got home and find someone to talk to about it. Did she have any shame?

The mushroom soup made by Jiang Tang was full of fragrance, and everyone had a bowl of soup in the end.

She smiled and looked at Lu Fang, "These mushrooms were found by you, sister-in-law, before."

Lu Fang shook her head. "If I had known that your cooking skills were so good, I wouldn't have taken those mushrooms back and wasted them."

Jiang Tang waved his hands in embarrassment, "It's just some home-cooked food."

They had almost finished eating. Jiang Tang and Xiao Tuanzi were fine, but the Liu family members were almost paralyzed in their chairs, their eyes were dazed and empty.

After a while, Lu Fang took the initiative to say, "We've almost finished eating now, Tangtang, if you need any help from us, just tell us."

When it comes to business, Jiang Tang straightens his face.

"Qin Xiao went to work in the coal kiln two days ago. I want to take Chu Yang to find him."

Before she finished speaking, Liu Lan retorted in a harsh voice, "Brother Qin Xiao is going there to make money, what are you going there for?"

As she spoke, she glanced Jiang Tang up and down, especially seeing that Jiang Tang was fair and tender, she could tell at a glance that she was not cut out for work. If she took Chu Yang with her, it would cause trouble for Brother Qin Xiao!

Before Jiang Tang could react, Lu Fang's chest heaved violently, and she forced herself to suppress her temper.

"Lan'er, shut up!" Mother Liu couldn't help but look at her daughter reproachfully and felt a little apologetic towards Jiang Tang.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, we are sorry. Lan'er has been the youngest in the family since she was young. We have spoiled her. We apologize to you."

Liu Lan was shut up by the yelling, but she still thought in her heart that Jiang Tang was just causing trouble for Brother Qin Xiao.

The kid next to Jiang Tang raised his voice and said loudly to Liu Lan, "Sister Liu Lan, sister-in-law is the best. She won't cause any trouble."

He pouted and said, "Guoguo misses his sister-in-law. If his sister-in-law goes to accompany him, Guoguo will be very happy."

Liu Lan: …

The kid's ignorant words pierced Liu Lan's heart.

She didn't mind being yelled at by her sister-in-law's parents, but she couldn't stand the fact that Qin Xiao and Jiang Tang had a good relationship.

She doesn't believe it!

Jiang Tang rubbed the young man's head and said, "We went to the Jiang family a few days ago to get back part of the betrothal gifts. Sister-in-law, you should know this."

Lu Fang nodded, "Well, we heard about it. Just come back and live your life well."

Jiang Tang told all the trouble Jiang Hu had caused today. "Today it was Jiang Hu who came, tomorrow it will be Jiang Cui, and the day after tomorrow it will be He Sufen. The Jiang family is clinging to us like a dog-skin plaster. Now that Qin Xiao is not here, I can't confront them head-on with Chu Yang."

Being on guard against the Jiang family every day is really not a life to lead.

"Qin Xiao has been gone for ten days or half a month. I'm afraid I can't hold on for that long. Instead of being nervous every moment about them causing trouble, I thought it would be better to take Chu Yang with me to find Qin Xiao."

She turned to look at the kid, smiling, "Besides, Chuyang misses his brother very much, so I'll take him to live with Qin Xiao. It doesn't matter if the environment is almost bad. At least he won't have to worry every day when he's with Qin Xiao."

The more Lu Fang listened, the more her brows furrowed. She had never expected the Jiang family to be so shameless.

Tangtang and Chuyang were helpless, and they took advantage of Qin Xiao's absence to bully his wife and brother.

Mr. and Mrs. Liu also looked worried.

Lu Fang looked at Jiang Tang seriously, "Tang Tang, what do you want us to do?"

The Jiang family is stupid and evil. No matter what, it is a good thing that Tangtang takes Chuyang to find Qin Xiao. They will definitely help wherever they can.

Jiang Tang looked around and took a look at the Qin family's yard. "Sister-in-law, I want to move the things at home to your house for storage to prevent the Jiang family from damaging them when we are away. When we come back, Qin Xiao will move the things back."

Lu Fang understood what she said and agreed without saying a word.

She tilted her head and glanced at Liu's father and mother. They didn't have any objections. They were just glad that they could help.

But Liu Lan couldn't help but say, "There's no place for her to store things at home. It's so small to begin with."

Lu Fang rolled her eyes at her and took a deep breath. "Don't worry. Qin Xiao and his wife's stuff will definitely not be placed in your room. Your brother and I can put it in our room. It won't bother you."

This confused sister-in-law is hopeless. She just ate the meat made by Tangtang with big mouthfuls, but she didn't appreciate it at all.

Seeing her parents' disapproving expressions, Liu Lan shut up in frustration.

Jiang Tang was very grateful that they could help. She said seriously, "I have packed up everything at home. I will just need things in the kitchen. Once I have washed and put away all the pots and bowls, we will move in when it is late at night."

Lu Fang stood up and took the initiative to start clearing the table. "Okay, it's settled. Let's pack up the things first and move them to my place later."

With their help, everything was packed up quickly.

Two large boxes were filled with iron pots and wooden basins, which were taken away directly.

After I finished packing, I looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark.

Now is the perfect time to move things under the cover of darkness.

Jiang Tang and Lu Fang carried a large box together, while Liu's father and mother carried another one together.

Liu Lan reluctantly moved a large iron pot and followed behind reluctantly. She was the easiest one to count among the group, but she still looked very ugly.

Jiang Tang felt a burning pain on his back, but he endured it and never cried out in pain.

Several people worked together and slowly carried things towards Liu's house.

Fortunately, I didn't meet anyone along the way.

After walking and resting for a while, they finally moved all the things to Liu's house. Jiang Tang stood up, supported her waist with her hands, and breathed heavily. She was so tired, it was rare that she had ever felt so tired.

Suddenly, she felt a slight touch on her waist. Jiang Tang lowered her eyes. The boy was standing on tiptoe and massaging her waist with his little hands, trying to make her feel more comfortable.

Although I was extremely tired and in pain physically, I still felt relieved in my heart.

After moving the things, she felt it inconvenient to stay in the Liu family for a long time, and she was still hanging around at home, fearing that the Jiang family would suddenly cause trouble at night.

Jiang Tang looked at Lu Fang gratefully, "Sister-in-law, Lan'er, and uncle and aunt, thank you for today. I will take Chuyang back first."

Knowing the situation, Lu Fang didn't plan to keep her and walked to the door to see them off.

Jiang Tang led the little fellow into the moonlight.

Lu Fang returned to the yard with a sullen face, intending to talk to her sister-in-law.

In the yard, Liu Lan was being educated by her father and mother.

She sighed, thinking that if her parents-in-law were willing to teach them a lesson, then she wouldn't have to be a bad person anymore.

Jiang Tang and the kid returned home. She sat slumped in her seat, staring at the little boy with lifeless eyes, "Chuyang, we can't take a bath tonight. Let's just wipe ourselves and go to sleep, okay?"

There is nothing at home now, and we can’t boil hot water, so we have to make do with what we have.

She pinched Tuanzi's little face and said, "We can go find our brother tomorrow morning."

Qin Chuyang held her hand tightly, his face wrinkled, "Sister-in-law, when I grow tall, as tall as Guoguo, I will help you beat them."

The little guy has gained some weight these days, but he is still very thin.

Jiang Tang touched her nose and thought, okay, since the little one has this intention, she will try to raise him well, and it would be best if he is taller than Qin Xiao. If Qin Xiao bullies her in the future, the little guy she raised will definitely help her...

Uh, the kid looks like he’s obsessed with his brother, and she’s a little unsure.

After resting for a while, Jiang Tang stood up. She still had a job to do.

Jiang Tang took the remaining nails from the corner of the back room and started to bury them. The young man wanted to come over to help, but she stopped him, "Chuyang, be good, don't run around, sit still and wait for your sister-in-law to finish."

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the young man leave the house.

She took the stones and knocked at them one by one, until all the nails were hammered into the doors of every room except her own, and in front of the cabinets and furniture, filling up the room.

She lay on the ground and worked for a long time, and her waist became even more sore, but she was very satisfied with her masterpiece after finally finishing it.

He clapped his hands, finished his work, and took Qin Chuyang to wash his feet next to the water tank and wiped his body. That was it for the night.

Jiang Tang was really tired.

She went to the kitchen and picked up the only kitchen knife left in there for self-defense. Holding the kitchen knife in one hand and holding Qin Chuyang with the other, she pushed open the door of the room.

Jiang Tang lay limply on the bed, her whole body in pain. Her back felt as if it was burned by fire, and it was hot and burning. She lay paralyzed on the bed, motionless.

Qin Chuyang lay inside, looking at his sister-in-law with dependence on his little face.

The kitchen knife was right next to her, within easy reach.

This was the only source of her sense of security when Qin Xiao was not around.

Finally, Jiang Tang fell asleep in this stiff and defensive posture.

Even in her sleep, she couldn't help but frowning because of the pain in her body, and she looked extremely uneasy.

-

A kilometer away from the coal kiln.

They are all temporary residences made of colorful cloth strips.

In a simple temporary tent, Qin Xiao was lying on a hard wooden board, with Wang Qile next to him.

He and Qin Xiao set up a tent and lived together. Next to them was the tent of Zhang Hetian and Wen Juan.

Wang Qilei stared at Brother Xiao's furrowed brows and whispered, "Brother Xiao, are you worried about Chuyang?"

Qin Xiao stared at the ceiling covered with colorful cloth strips with his dark eyes, and said in a deep voice, "She is too timid. What will she do if the Jiang family really causes trouble? She will just use a kitchen knife to drive them away, and then hide away and cry."

What should I do if that woman is timid and cries easily?

The man's voice was calm, but Wang Qilei reacted.

Brother Xiao is not talking about Chuyang... he is talking about my sister-in-law.

He turned sideways to look at the figure in the dimness and sighed. Brother Xiao had simply returned home, but it seemed as if everything had changed.

"No, sister-in-law...sister-in-law will definitely not confront the Jiang family head-on. She will hide with Chuyang."

"Besides, the Jiang family has learned their lesson. They will definitely be afraid of you returning to take revenge on them, so they won't act rashly."

As for the topic of whether she would cry or not, Brother Xiao is my sister-in-law's man, so it's not convenient for him to say anything.

Qin Xiao closed his eyes, his mind was filled with what his brother said about the woman crying out of fear, and he couldn't sleep.

What the man didn't expect was that the timid and crybaby Jiang Tang had decided to bring his brother to find him, and he also cleverly set a trap for the Jiang family so that he would be able to see them tomorrow.
