Speaking of this, Gu Hanting sighed, "I don't know what their family members were thinking. After you left, Jiang Mei got into trouble. It seems she was fired from the factory. Then, it was said that she was caught having an affair and was being criticized and denounced all over the streets."
Niu Guihua returned as soon as she received the news, and Jiang Hong followed her back. I think this girl is quite something; after such a big incident, she seems to be acting as if nothing happened.
According to Li Meilan, this person has become much more low-key than before. I don't really understand why, but I have a feeling this girl is not simple.
Jiang Qiao asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, have you heard anything about what happened to Jiang Hong back in our hometown?"
Jiang Qiao didn't care about Jiang Mei's affairs. That bastard brought it on herself. Even if she wasn't caught having an affair, she couldn't escape the fact that she was involved with enemy agents.
She was most concerned about Jiang Hong, and felt that something seemed a little different about her.
After all, she knew how she had gotten through it all. Jiang Hong had gone through so much trouble, yet she could act as if nothing had happened and reappear in everyone's sight so quickly. She felt that something must be going on.
Gu Hanting frowned and said, "I heard he fell into the water, but I haven't heard anything else. Maybe he's come to terms with it."
Jiang Qiao snorted inwardly. From now on, she would have to observe this Jiang Hong more closely.
Qiao Jie was puzzled. "Why is Niu Guihua making such a fuss? Everything was settled back then, why is she only now starting to cause trouble?"
Gu Hanting sighed, "It's all because she's after Jiang Xintong's daughter's job. Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Jiang Xintong asked someone to find a job for her daughter, so your grandma has to be taken care of by someone else."
When Niu Guihua came back, she said she could take care of the children, but the children would have to pay for it.
The two children discussed it and decided to give it to her. It was fifteen yuan a month. The girl only earned about twenty yuan a month. It was already quite difficult for her to come up with so much money. If they had hired someone to take care of her, it wouldn't have cost much at all.
That night, the two children took care of Wang Dahua themselves. Niu Guihua had already spoken up, and Wang Dahua had agreed. And that's how things got out of hand. Jiang Hong was about to graduate, so she set her sights on the other children.
Sigh, their family affairs are really hard to explain and there's no reasoning with them. If it weren't for Wang Dahua, those two kids would probably have moved out long ago.
I heard that your aunt wrote a letter saying that if the two children can't manage, they should rent a place and move out temporarily, and that she will deal with it when she has time to come back.
Sigh, Jiang Xintong's travel expenses must have been quite high, and her family's financial situation isn't good either. Sigh, having such a mother, and a brother and sister-in-law like that, she's really unlucky.
Qiao Jie sighed, "It's just that these two kids are suffering. They're neither married nor established in their careers, and their parents aren't around. What are they supposed to do?"
If her family were well-off, would they give their son away? Sigh—
Jiang Qiao snorted, "It seems that Niu Guihua came prepared. What does she plan to do? Continue to take over serving the old lady? This Wang Dahua is really something, this matter won't be over until she's dead."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Qiao Jie, and the old man gave his granddaughter a wry smile. "Grandpa will go with you to see her in a little while. We'll just do our duty. Don't force anything else. Life and death are in the hands of fate, and wealth and status are determined by destiny."
Before Jiang Qiao could even come out, Song Lianfeng rushed over in a flurry.
"Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao—"
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao, Song Lianfeng grabbed her, looked her up and down, her eyes reddening slightly, and patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder.
"You silly child, really! How could you be gone for so long? Don't you know how worried we were about you? You think you can get away with something so easy? How could you disappear without a trace and do something so important—"
Jiang Qiao stood obediently with a smile, letting Song Lianfeng look her over. "Third Aunt, I missed you all too, but I ran into some things on the way, so I was delayed. I rushed back to celebrate the New Year, and there were some things I hadn't even taken care of."
How are you feeling, old man? Are my third uncle and the others alright? How's Chunming doing?
"Everything is fine, everything is fine, but I'm just thinking about you."
Song Lianfeng was genuinely worried about the child. When she learned that Jiang Qiao had made a meritorious contribution, she was happy, but privately she was also worried.
After all, Jiang Qiao was a child she had watched grow up, so she didn't treat him like an outsider.
Especially since Jiang Qiao is a girl.
She knew that military medals were not easy to obtain. Wang Dahua's son had indeed made a contribution, but he was gone. Whenever she thought of those medals, she felt a chill of fear.
Song Lianfeng pulled Jiang Qiao into the house and greeted Qiao Jie and the others one by one, saying, "You old man, you really are something. You've been gone for more than half a year, and I couldn't find you anywhere."
Qiao Jie quickly invited Song Lianfeng to sit down, saying, "I missed home and you all too, that's why I came back so quickly. You must have missed our Qiao'er, right?"
Song Lianfeng said with emotion, "That's right. Even though Jiang Qiao is your granddaughter, I treat her like both a daughter and a friend. There are some things I can't say to others, but I can say to Jiang Qiao."
Jiang Qiao smiled and hugged Song Lianfeng's arm. "That's right, I'm Auntie San's sweetheart. Auntie San, let me get you some food."
"Oh, no, no, I didn't come here for the food. I just wanted to see you all, the old and the young—"
Everyone sat down and chatted for a while. Jiang Qiao wrapped up Song Lianfeng's gift separately and placed it by the door.
Song Lianfeng had to go to work in the afternoon. When she came back, she knew that Jiang Qiao and the others had returned, but she was in a hurry to cook, so she didn't have time to cook. She rushed over after eating.
"Grandpa, I have to go to work now. We'll talk again later—"
Jiang Qiao saw Song Lianfeng out, and Qiao Jie also got up and said, "Third Aunt, this is a gift for you, please don't mind it."
Song Lianfeng shoved Jiang Qiao and said, "Look at you, child, what kind of gift did you bring? We've always been fed by you. Don't do this again. You haven't even started working yet."
Besides, you're getting older, you should buy some girly things to dress yourself up.
Look at these clothes of yours, how long have you worn them? They're almost faded from washing.
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Third Aunt, I'm just being frugal. It would be a waste to throw it away. Please don't criticize me. We're the same, mother and daughter."
Song Lianfeng smiled and gave Jiang Qiao a light tap, saying, "You little devil, I really can't do anything with you."
"By the way, where's Chunming?"
Song Lianfeng said with a smile, "Your brother Chunming has gone to work. However, it seems that he has changed his workplace this time. He said he deals with some kind of cultural relics. I don't know anything about this stuff. Anyway, with his master taking care of him, I can rest easy."
Jiang Qiao hadn't expected that Hou Diankui was truly capable. He could change jobs whenever he wanted. Well, given his abilities, working on cultural relics was indeed quite suitable for the two of them.
