Doctor Hu continued his kidnapping plan. He took the child to collect herbs nearby and played various games with the child. Unfortunately, the child was smart and cunning and refused to fall for it.
There were laughter and joy in the alley courtyard, but the courtyard where Mr. Lin lived was silent.
Mr. Jiang's visit again disrupted Mr. Lin's usually peaceful life.
"Is this Xiaohui? Are you busy lately?" Old Master Jiang looked at Lin Dinghui, who was playing chess with his grandfather, with a smile on his face. "Are your parents doing well over there?"
Lin Dinghui stood up and said, "My parents are fine, please take a seat."
"Old friend, life is so comfortable with your grandson by your side." Old Jiang looked at the child again with appreciation and handed a letter in his hand to Old Man Lin.
Seeing this, Lin Dinghui found an excuse to leave the study.
Mr. Lin glanced at the envelope, but didn't open it. Instead, he looked at his father-in-law and asked, "What is this?"
"My unfilial daughter sent me a letter through her eldest brother, saying someone has contacted her. Please read it first, and I will tell you the details later."
Old Master Lin frowned, took out the letter from the envelope, unfolded it, and quickly glanced at it, his eyes pausing on the two words "Gu Family".
Mr. Jiang looked at the strong wind blowing outside the window and sighed, "It's going to rain heavily again."
"My yard is small. If it rains for a few more days, I won't even have a place to live."
Mr. Jiang understood the meaning behind his father-in-law's words and breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that his old friend would be confused and join in the fun. He didn't know who the other party was, but he actually came to his daughter, which made him angry.
"My second son never mentioned this to me. It seems your daughter has won the favor of an important person."
Jiang Lao knew that he had always been dissatisfied with his daughter. This was not Old Man Lin's fault, because it was his own child who was causing trouble. In the past, his silly child had interfered with Old Lady Lin's affairs.
"Fortunately, she knows the seriousness of the situation this time. Sigh... It's really turbulent, with waves coming one after another..." Jiang Lao changed the subject, "She set her sights on the Siberian Tiger. Do you really think her family is easy to bully?"
Old Master Lin's fingers gently scanned the tabletop, and he pondered for a moment: "When the gods fight, tell the second son's family not to get involved."
Mr. Jiang pointed at the letter on the table and asked, "Should we give the Zhou family a heads-up?"
Hearing this, Old Master Lin glanced at the other person. "Zhou Xiaozheng? He might let your daughter expose the person behind this. Are you willing to put your child at risk?"
All that recklessness and bravery were just bullshit. Elder Jiang knew his father-in-law was shrewd: "Then we'll just pretend we don't know about this?"
"No, since they're using our children as weapons, let's just turn the tables. Let's spread the word and see who dares to take action."
Jiang Lao's mind was confused. He looked at his in-laws hesitantly and asked in disbelief, "You mean, publish the contents of the letter? Will that affect the children?"
As soon as he said this, Old Man Lin felt even more confident that his strategy was a good one. He nodded affirmatively, "Yes, if we make it a big deal, how many eyes will be on this matter? That way, the people behind the scenes will be even more afraid to make any moves against the Second Brother's family."
That's true. Anyone who makes any small move is clearly demonstrating their irreconcilable stance against the Zhou family. Hearing this, Old Jiang looked thoughtfully at the letter lying quietly on the table.
"What? Still have questions?"
"What you said is feasible, but I'm uneasy. Is there any better way to avoid involving the child? If this commotion continues, all the old things will be brought up again. To be honest, I don't really want to be involved in any of this mess. Why is it so difficult to live a peaceful life?"
Old Master Lin sighed along with him. A smarter person would have privately revealed this to Zhou Xiaozheng, and the two of them would have worked together to expose the real person behind the scenes, which would have made Zhou Xiaozheng owe the Lin family a favor.
But his daughter-in-law? It wasn't that he looked down on her. That woman was a complete jerk, a complete piece of shit, and she thought she was smart. If things went wrong, she could be blown to pieces by both sides.
Far away in the northwest, Jiang Jiangyu had no idea how deplorable she was in her father-in-law's eyes. At this moment, she was humming a song, looking triumphantly towards the capital, her eyes full of determination.
Outside the yard, an old lady with her head wrapped in a blue cloth was bending over and rubbing her hands nervously.
The triangular eyes looked around nervously, and when they saw no one was around, they breathed a sigh of relief, stretched their necks, and called out, "Is anyone home?"
"Who is it?"
When the lady with triangular eyes heard the sound coming from the inner room, a gleam flashed in her eyes. She held her breath silently, put on a flattering smile on her face, and looked inside.
Jiang Jiangyu walked out of the room and saw a thin, dark-skinned old woman in patched clothes standing outside the yard with her back hunched. She looked outside and saw that no one was passing by, so she immediately turned around and tried to go back into the house.
"Hey, big sister, I have something to talk to you about."
No matter how low the voice was, it still reached Jiang Jiangyu's ears, causing her expression to change immediately. "Big sister? When did a beggar become so arrogant?"
If she wasn't worried about being overheard by the neighbors and the military families, she would have wanted to chase them away with a broom. Since when did any dog or cat come to her door?
Jiang Jiangyu walked quickly toward the courtyard, stood at the waist-high wooden door, and looked at the other party. He said impatiently, "My family has no food, so we rely on the salary earned by the head of the household. Did you see the courtyards in front of us? They all have working parents."
After saying that, she was no longer willing to talk nonsense and turned around again...
The triangular-eyed woman was stunned. Was he treating her like a beggar? Her chest was instantly heaving with rage. Who was this person? Ugh, a military dependent?
However, no matter how much she was upset, she disappeared when she saw Jiang Jiangyu turning around to leave. She quickly stretched out her hand and shook it, saying, "Wait, someone asked me to pass on a message."
Jiang Jiangyu looked at her suspiciously when he heard that.
"Big sister, can you open the door and let me drink some water first? I walked two or three hundred miles after getting out of the car, and my throat is sore."
Jiang Jiangyu didn't believe what the other party said at all. "Two or three hundred miles?" Why didn't you say two or three thousand miles? For this reason, she even looked up at the sky, meaning - see!
"Hey, big sister. I really started on the road yesterday. I have to go back to work in the fields soon."
Seeing that she still didn't open the door, the triangular-eyed lady decided to speak with some practical advice: "I'm looking for Comrade Jiang Jiangyu. Someone asked me to bring a message to her."
"It's me." Jiang Jiangyu looked at the other person and finally opened the wooden door. "Come in. Who is worth you running all this way to deliver a message?"
"Oh, Lin Xuelin from Oriental Farm."
Even though the other person was speaking in a low voice, the name still frightened Jiang Jiangyu so much that her face turned pale and she stopped in her tracks. She asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about?"
The triangular-eyed lady didn't care about her panic at all. If it weren't for the reward that woman offered her, she wouldn't have wanted to talk to such a notorious female prisoner.
Now it seems that the dead woman was not lying. Looking at the yard and the woman opposite who is dressed in nice clothes, it seems that all her relatives are high-ranking officials.
"Tsk tsk...you're such a slut. You can't live without a man."
Ignoring Auntie Sanjiao's inner thoughts, she looked at Jiang Jiangyu and said again, "Lin Xuelin, she said she is your niece."
