After listening to Ning Hao's story, Jiang Qiao pressed further, "You mean, when you were attacked, you saw a veiled woman escaping through the tunnel?"
Ning Hao nodded. "I've never seen her real face. I really suspect this woman's identity. Could she be the woman who killed my mother?"
Jiang Qiao said it was hard to say. "Let's wait for the investigation. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But there's something suspicious about it. This woman is most likely the leader of these people. How could she possibly instigate so many people without some ability?"
However, in my opinion, you can only solve the immediate problem. Those people haven't given up their desire to harm us, and I expect they'll cause trouble again in the future.
Ning Hao sighed, "This is a problem for the higher-ups to consider. I can't control it even if I wanted to, can I?"
Just as Jiang Qiao was about to speak, a faint sound came from outside the door. Both of them were alert and rushed to the door without saying a word.
There was no one at the entrance, but the two of them did see a figure running towards the backyard.
Ning Hao examined her for a moment, then snorted coldly, "The Jiang family's daughter, isn't she?"
Although she wasn't very familiar with Jiang Hong, she could still make out some features from her back and hair. After all, everyone in the house had their lights on and hadn't gone to sleep yet, so recognizing someone wasn't a problem for Jiang Qiao.
"It's her, but I don't know what she's doing at our doorstep?"
Ning Hao said irritably, "A night owl coming into the house is definitely up to no good. In the future, remember to keep an eye on that girl. I don't think the Jiang family can raise any good children. What is a young girl doing here instead of staying at home at this time?"
Jiang Qiao snorted, "They wouldn't be here for you, would they?"
Ning Hao smacked his lips. "You, why are you here again? Didn't we already agree to let this go? I've barely even met Jiang Hong a few times. Is she after me? Humph, she really dares to dream."
Remember what I said, you need to be careful of that girl. Don't think that just because she's young she's harmless; her family is fundamentally evil.
Jiang Qiao had wondered in her heart what Jiang Hong's purpose was in coming here.
As the two were talking, Song Lianfeng called out to them from afar, "Qiao'er, you're back! I was just about to go over and see you. Haozi is here too. Come on, let's go back inside and chat. What were you doing just now? Why are you all out here?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Don't even mention it. Just now, I was giving Brother Ning acupuncture when I heard a noise at the door. When I went out to check, I saw someone running towards the backyard. Didn't you see?"
Song Lianfeng snorted, "It's Jiang Hong. I just saw her. What's she doing here? That girl is always so sarcastic. Be careful, she's no pushover either."
Here, take this. Chunming and the others mailed it to you. The postman said the package was too heavy and you should go pick it up yourself.
"Brother Chunming didn't say where they went?"
Speaking of her son, Song Lianfeng had a lot to say. "That unlucky child! He never writes more letters. You said you were going somewhere and wanted us to know, so he just mailed something with a note saying everything was fine and not to worry. What's that? Couldn't he write more..."
Song Lianfeng really missed her son. He had never left her side. Now that he was gone, he was nowhere to be seen. As his mother, she was worried. When she talked about it at home, her husband didn't like to listen. He said that a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown, but she didn't have such ambitions. She just wanted her son to be safe and sound.
Ning Hao, who was listening from the side, was truly envious of Chunming. Although his parents were not very capable, Chunming had parents who loved him, a fact that he could not change even if he tried his best.
Seeing Ning Hao's envious gaze, Jiang Qiao understood everything. As for Song Lianfeng, she also understood the feelings of a mother.
"Auntie, my brother Chunming is definitely busy and doesn't have time to write much. Think about it, he went out with his master, not to play, but to learn and gain experience. He probably spent most of his time on the road. As long as we get some news, they must be fine."
Think about it, what if they went to a remote area? Even if he wanted to write to you, he wouldn't be able to mail it. So, it's not that your son doesn't care about you as his mother; he probably just had no other choice.
Actually, Song Lianfeng didn't need Jiang Qiao's comforting words. She just wanted to confide in someone. Her children either thought she was being nosy, or they were too busy to listen to her rambling. Jiang Qiao was much better; she had the patience to listen and could even offer some advice.
After the conversation, she felt much more at ease. Her son was going out to learn new skills, not to go sightseeing.
"Auntie, there's been nothing much going on at my grandma's house these past few days. When I left, I heard that the leaders all came?"
Song Lianfeng sighed, "Don't even mention it. I think the Jiang family is going to split up. Your aunt is quite something. She's talked to all sorts of leaders, and they've come down to see for themselves. She's also visited everyone in our compound. Anyway, we've said everything we need to say."
That Niu Guihua is really not the type to serve people. She's always making veiled accusations. When her sister-in-law came, she wasn't even given anything to eat, just porridge. Your aunt's two coins have all gone to your grandmother; I reckon they're almost gone. If this isn't resolved soon, she might not even have enough for her travel expenses.”
Ning Hao was also curious about the Jiang family's situation. "So how exactly was it resolved? We haven't heard anything about it these past two days."
“What noise could I hear? They always argue behind closed doors. Now they’re only realizing how shameful it is. I was listening from next door. It seems like they’re agreeing to give half of the house to their daughter, without separating them for the time being. They’ve also added their grandson and granddaughter to the household registration, and the old lady is asking her grandson to take care of her.”
"And what about the other half?"
Speaking of the other half, Song Lianfeng laughed, "The other half belongs to your grandma. In other words, if Jiang Ping and the others continue to treat him badly, this thing will completely belong to your aunt. Anyway, Jiang Ping and the others have already been allocated housing by their work unit, so they won't be without a place to live."
Jiang Qiao was even more surprised: "How come it belongs to my grandmother? Wasn't it supposed to go to Jiang Ping? What kind of family division is this?"
Song Lianfeng smiled and shook her head. "You wouldn't have thought of this, would you? This was your grandma's idea. This house belongs to your grandma, and no one can take it away from it. Only your grandma's word can be used."
I don't know what this old lady was thinking, but she just went ahead and said it. This Wang Dahua is ruthless; I really didn't realize it before. I thought Jiang Ping and his wife would get the better deal, but it seems that's not the case.”
Ning Hao and Jiang Qiao exchanged a smile; clearly, they had already figured out the reason.
Wang Dahua is also a calculating person. Giving the other half to her daughter is partly to compensate her, and partly because Jiang Xintong has been behaving very well lately. As for the other half, she plans to leave herself a way out. If her daughter can't be relied on, then the other half will go to her son. It is estimated that the mother and son have reached an agreement in private, probably behind Jiang Xintong's back.
