Chapter 71 Misunderstanding
"How do you think I got this look on my face?" Jiang Caiwei said, "My cousin's mind is much smaller than you think."
Ge Shuanniang's legs were shaking with fear. "If I do as you say, will my death be even more miserable?"
Jiang Caiwei said, "As long as you listen to me, I won't let her touch you."
Ge Shuanniang was not stupid. "She has hurt you so much, how can you protect me?"
"I used to treat her like my own sister, but I wasn't prepared, so I fell victim to her evil hands. Now that I'm prepared, things won't be the same again. Besides, do you have a choice? If you listen to me, not only can you get the silver, but you can also avoid disaster. If you don't listen to me..."
Jiang Caiwei sneered, "Just wait and see! It's hard to say whether you'll be disfigured or dead by then."
Under Jiang Caiwei's threats and inducements, Ge Shuanniang gritted her teeth and agreed. She stared at the silver in Jiang Caiwei's hand with burning eyes, "I'm taking such a big risk, you can't give me less silver."
Jiang Caiwei thought that as long as she completed what the man asked her to do, she could cure her face, leave here and live a good life, and she wouldn't feel sorry for the money in her hand.
She gave the silver to Ge Shuanniang and said, "As long as you listen to me, the silver is nothing."
Ge Shuanniang held two heavy ingots of silver, her face smiling like a chrysanthemum, "Of course, I'll go find out for you right away." As she said that, she put the silver in her arms and went to the foundation of Jiang Tangtang's house.
"Wait." Jiang Caiwei called her, "Come closer, I have something to tell you."
Ge Shuanniang followed her instructions and leaned over. Jiang Caiwei whispered a few words to her. She suddenly opened her eyes wide, "You didn't tell me that you just wanted me to keep an eye on her schedule? Why is there something else?"
She wanted to return the silver, but was reluctant to do so. However, she listened to Jiang Caiwei and was afraid that something might happen and Jiang Tangtang would come after her.
"What are you afraid of? I didn't ask you to kill or burn anything. I just asked you to take the kids to her house to play."
Jiang Caiwei said, "Besides, if you don't have a good relationship with her, how can you find out her schedule? If it's just a quick look like this, why would I need to spend money to hire you? I don't know how to check it myself."
Ge Shuanniang was hesitant, and Jiang Caiwei said impatiently, "Are you going to do it or not? If not, give the silver back to me." As she said that, she was about to take the silver back.
Ge Shuanniang was reluctant to part with the money she had already earned, so she said hurriedly, "Yes, of course I should do it. There's not much work to do in the fields in winter anyway. I'll take my son and daughter to visit my neighbors."
Ge Shuan's mother did what she said. She went home and called her daughter Ge Hongxia and son Ge Shuan, and went to Jiang Tangtang's house together.
At this moment, Jiang Tangtang had returned from the base and was discussing with Doctor Xue about breaking and resetting Lu Shiyan's leg bones.
Lu Shiyan felt that there were sick people in the whole family, and they had just settled in Zhounan Village, and so many things had happened recently... According to his thoughts, he naturally did not want to treat his leg at this time and leave all the family affairs to Jiang Tangtang.
Helpless, he had made an appointment with Jiang Tangtang at that time, and Xue Banxian would listen to her and treat his leg when he came back.
Now I can only let the two of them do whatever they want.
"Oh, are you all here?" Ge Shuanniang said, leading her children into the courtyard in a very familiar manner. "I was worried that you were busy today and wouldn't be able to find time, so I wanted to bring the two children over to help."
"What's there to be busy about at home?" Jiang Tangtang said indifferently.
"Didn't I hear your house is being renovated? There are so many things to do when it comes to building a house. Just cooking for the workers is enough to keep you busy. I've brought some people over to give you a hand."
As Ge Shuanniang spoke, she nudged her daughter and said, "My daughter learned from a master chef and is very good at cooking. In the past, whenever anyone around here held a banquet, they would ask her to be the chef."
At this time, Ge Hongxia didn't pay any attention to what her mother said.
She looked at the handsome Lu Shiyan and blushed, regretting that she had left in a hurry today and had no time to change her clothes properly.
This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a handsome man.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip. Master Lin and I have agreed that each worker will receive five cents a day, but no food."
Jiang Tangtang saw Ge Hongxia stealing glances at Lu Shiyan from time to time, looking so shy that she couldn't help but glare at Lu Shiyan. What a disaster! Jiang Caiwei's problem hasn't been solved yet, and she's already hooked up with another one.
Lu Shiyan touched his nose innocently, stood up and said, "I'm going to work in the fields."
"Let's go and help too!" Brother Lu Jingcheng stood up and said when he saw Lu Shiyan was about to go out.
"You two are so small, how can you be of any help? Go play with my Shuanzi."
Ge Shuan's mother pushed her son forward and said in a very familiar tone, "Go, take your brothers and sisters out to play."
Ge Shuan was nine years old this year. Raised by her mother, she had developed a habit of taking advantage of others and being a bit of a snob. Seeing the slingshot on Lu Jingcheng's waist, she reached out and grabbed it.
"Give it back to me!" Lu Jingcheng had a cold face, with the word "unhappiness" written on his forehead.
"This child, how can he be so young—" Ge Shuanniang habitually wanted to help her son, but suddenly she remembered Jiang Tangtang's viciousness and Jiang Caiwei's instructions, and hurriedly turned around to scold her son, "How could you, child, steal your brother's things?"
As she spoke, she took the slingshot back from her son's hand and returned it to Lu Jingcheng, saying with an apologetic smile, "Your brother Shuanzi means no harm, he's just joking with you."
"My child doesn't have such a brother, so please don't make up for him. We still have to go to the fields to work. I'm really sorry... I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you today."
Jiang Tangtang didn't want to embarrass herself, so she quickly went out with Lu Shiyan and the children.
Ge Shuanniang looked at the backs of the few people and felt sulky.
They were just exiled criminals, what were they doing so arrogant? If it weren't for the money, she wouldn't have licked their cold butts!
"Mom, why don't we go to the fields and take a look." Ge Hongxia looked at Lu Shiyan's back somewhat unwillingly.
Thinking about Jiang Caiwei's instructions, Ge Shuanniang nodded quickly and said, "Yes, go to the field and pick some radishes to eat at home for lunch."
She dragged her two children along and shamelessly followed. On the way, she whispered to her son and daughter, asking them to get along well with Jiang Tangtang's children and build good relationships.
Thinking of Lu Shiyan's face, Ge Hongxia was willing to please his children, but Ge Shuanpi was used to it and refused to obey, so he ran away.
Unable to control her son, Ge Shuan's mother could only tell her daughter to behave well. However, Ge Hongxia misunderstood her mother's intention, thinking that her mother wanted her to please the children so that she could become a stepmother in the future.
She felt that it was a little unfair for her to be a stepmother to several children as a young girl. But when she thought about the man she was marrying, Lu Shiyan, and the good conditions of the Lu family, she felt that there was no better marriage than him.
I just don't know how her mother plans to get rid of Jiang Tangtang.
