Chapter 79 Savior?
Jiang Tangtang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her daughter, but when she saw her daughter, dirty and listless in Lu Shiyan's arms, her heart began to lift again. "What happened to Tiantian? Is she hurt?"
"He was just frightened, but he's fine!" Lu Shiyan replied to Jiang Tangtang without stopping, and hurried home quickly.
"That's good. Let's go back and see Doctor Xue."
The two hurried home, and everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the couple returning with their child.
Old Madam Lu knelt on the ground, thanking her ancestors for their blessings, while Mrs. Su kept wiping away her tears.
Jiang Tangtang quickly asked Doctor Xue to check on Lu Tiantian and confirmed that the child was fine and just frightened. He then quickly prescribed a tranquilizer for the child and asked Lu Tiantian to take it and go to sleep. Only then did Jiang Tangtang have time to take care of other things.
"Who is he?" She looked at the man Lin Zhengqiang carried into the yard, thinking about what Jiang Caiwei said to Ge Shuanniang, and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
The man was lying on the ground howling like a ghost. Lin Zhengqiang answered on his behalf, "Sister-in-law, this is Xia Sansao's brother, Gu Liangping."
"I'm your daughter's savior. Please ask the doctor to heal my leg immediately. If you can't, you have to support me for the rest of my life!"
After Gu Liangping regained consciousness, he learned that his leg was broken and he might become a cripple. He almost collapsed.
He just had a sudden impulse and wanted to take the child to the mountains to scare Jiang Tangtang, teach her a lesson, make her realize her own identity, and not dare to bully her sister again.
I never thought I would be so unlucky to meet a wild boar in the mountains and get myself killed.
"Really?" Lu Shiyan said with a gloomy face, "Then tell me first, why did you bring my daughter into the mountains?"
Gu Liangping yelled, "I didn't bring your daughter into the mountains. It was your daughter who wandered off on her own. If I hadn't happened to meet her while I was looking for wild fruit today and hadn't kindly protected her, would your daughter still be alive? Not only do you not thank me, but you even doubt me. Are you still human?"
"My daughter is only three years old. How could she walk so deep into the mountains by herself?"
Lu Shiyan said, "You'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, I will report it to the authorities and have them investigate thoroughly."
Gu Liangping taunted him, "You're a criminal, yet you dare to report to the authorities? I'm afraid you've fallen asleep and haven't woken up yet. You don't know what year it is and have forgotten who you are."
"Although I am a criminal, my daughter and my family cannot be bullied." Lu Shiyan looked at Manager Xia, obviously wanting him to show his attitude.
Manager Xia sighed, "Young man from the Gu family, there are no wild fruits in your Shuiyun Village? You have to walk several miles to our village to find them."
Gu Liangping was full of resentment towards Manager Xia. Instead of defending his own relatives, he even helped the criminals to interrogate him. Just as his sister said, this Jiang was really good at tricks. Within two days of coming to the village, she had already fooled her parents-in-law around.
He said sarcastically, "I heard from my sister that there's a very delicious wild fruit on the mountain near your farm. She's pregnant and has a poor appetite. You Xia family members may not feel sorry for her, but we Gu family members must."
Manager Xia already suspected that it was his daughter-in-law who was causing trouble, and Gu Liangping's resentment further confirmed his thoughts.
He suppressed his anger, bowed to Lu Shiyan and said, "Young man from the Lu family, how about leaving this matter to me? Don't worry, I will definitely figure it out and give you a satisfactory explanation."
Since Manager Xia had said so, Lu Shiyan didn't say anything more and just waited to see how Manager Xia would handle it.
Manager Xia ordered the bloody Gu Liangping to be taken away, and the villagers who had gathered to watch the excitement also dispersed.
Jiang Tangtang came into the house and looked at her daughter for a while, then discussed with Lu Shiyan, "I just bought a lot of vegetables. How about inviting all the workers who helped look for the child today to our house for a meal? How about each family in the village who helped with the search give a bowl of vegetables?"
"Will this be too hard for you?" Lu Shiyan asked.
It was certainly hard work, but thinking about how much help they had received today, and that building good relationships with the villagers would also benefit their family, Jiang Tangtang felt that the hard work was nothing.
"Our house is small, why don't you just send a bowl of food each?" Lu Shiyan said, "Whatever dish you want to make, I'll help you."
Jiang Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Just help me burn the hair off the pig heads and then wash them."
She had originally wanted to buy some pork to make pork jerky, but she saw the butcher's pig heads were cheap, so she bought two as well. She had originally intended to eat them at home, but now it was a perfect gift to give to everyone as a thank you.
However, two pig heads alone were not enough, so Jiang Tangtang had to put the pork jerky aside for now and process the remaining lean meat.
The pig's head is used to make braised meat, and the remaining meat is used to make fried meat.
"Girl, what delicious food are you making?"
The aroma wafting from the pot of braised meat made Xue Banxian drool. He walked into the kitchen and raised his hand to open the pot of braised meat.
"It's not braised yet, wait a minute! Eat this if you're hungry!" Jiang Tangtang put the crispy pork that had just been fried in the basket into a plate and handed it to him.
Xue Banxian took a bite of the crispy meat and immediately squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "This is a day that even a god wouldn't trade for!"
"Then after you cure my husband's leg, you can stay too! I still have many delicious dishes that I haven't cooked yet!" Jiang Tangtang didn't mind supporting one more person, especially when that person was a doctor with excellent medical skills.
"What else can you cook?"
Jiang Tangtang said, "That's a lot. I might not be able to finish talking about it even if I talk for three days and three nights. I guarantee that everything you eat is something you have never tasted before."
As he ate the crispy and tender meat, Xue Banxian was full of anticipation for the future. He looked at Jiang Tangtang more and more favorably, "Girl, I will accept you as my disciple!"
"Ah?" Jiang Tangtang was frying crispy pork in the hot and smoky air, and was a little confused by his sudden decision.
"What? Your kid doesn't want to?"
Divine Doctor Xue puffed his beard and glared, "How many people have asked me to take them as my apprentice, but I refused. Now that I've taken a liking to you today, it's a blessing you've cultivated for eight lifetimes, and you still refuse?"
"Why wouldn't I want to? I'm so happy I'm like a fool." Jiang Tangtang said, "I will study hard."
In this era of backward medical care, it would be great to learn some medical skills to help you!
And now she also realized that although Xue Banxian was very boastful and sounded like a charlatan, he actually had real skills.
Xue Banxian was finally satisfied. After finishing a plate of crispy pork, he handed it to Jiang Tangtang and said, "Another one."
Jiang Tangtang simply divided the fried crispy meat into a small basket and asked him to take it out for everyone to share.
Because the child was lost, no one in the family had time to eat, so this is just the right time for everyone to fill their stomachs first.
The Lu family felt alive as they ate the crispy pork that was oily but not greasy.
Smelling the aroma wafting from the Lu family next door, Ge Ersao swallowed her saliva and complained, "Didn't we just find the child? How could you still have the mind to cook? You're so heartless! No wonder the child was kidnapped."
Mother Ge glared at her angrily, "The child has been found, and you won't let people eat? If you can't speak, don't speak. You'll offend people if you speak."
Just as she was scolding her daughter-in-law, there was a knock on the door. In order to avoid her mother-in-law's scolding, Ge Ersao hurried to open the door, but she saw Su when she opened the door.
Mrs. Ge was extremely embarrassed. She had just said something bad about them and she didn't know if anyone had heard her.
Su Shi seemed not to notice the awkward expression on her face. She smiled and handed over a large bowl of crispy meat, saying, "Thanks to your help today, I was able to find my granddaughter. This is a small token of our appreciation. I hope you don't mind."
