Chapter 527 Do me one last thing

Jiang Yu's eyes froze, and she squinted slightly, thinking.

She looked up and stared at Cai Xiaole.

"His old lady is a vegetarian? How do you know?"

Cai Xiaole sat down opposite her. "Few people don't know that the old lady is famous for being picky. When she goes out, her hair must be bound and her clothes cannot have wrinkles. She is a lady from the old society, and she is particular about not going out of the front door and not going out of the back door. When she sees us going out and showing our faces, she has to scold us."

Lao Wang is a son-in-law, and he has no status at home. He still lives in his wife's family's house, so he can only obey her.

"The old lady's family used to be very prosperous in South Street. Her family is all vegetarians. This is no secret."

Jiang Yu gently rubbed his lower lip with his teeth and asked, "Since she is a vegetarian, the fish that Lao Wang caught must not be for her."

Is Lao Wang lying, or is there something else going on?

Cai Xiaole whispered, "Actually, maybe he is not lying, and the fish is really for his wife."

Jiang Yu was puzzled, "You just said she is a vegetarian."

"Oh! This secret is only known to me. I'm telling you secretly, don't tell anyone."

Cai Xiaole's scumbag father from the countryside is a fellow villager of Lao Wang, both from Tangdian.

When she was a child, she heard from her father that Lao Wang had been married in the countryside for a long time, and later abandoned his wife and children to come to the city and become a live-in son-in-law.

He has to go back to his hometown every month, not to visit his parents, but to see his wife and children living in the countryside.

"I haven't told anyone, my father asked me to keep it a secret."

Over time, she forgot about it.

If Jiang Yu hadn't taken the initiative to talk about it today, she wouldn't have said it.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, "Isn't his wife in the countryside making trouble?"

"What's there to make trouble about? The children are so old, and Lao Wang doesn't stop giving money. We just get by."

Jiang Yu stood up, "Xiao Le, I'm going out for a while."

Cai Xiao Le said, Jiang Yu is always mysterious, she has long been accustomed to it.

Jiang Yu got the clue, so of course he went to find Xiao Qi.

"Go to the countryside and check on Lao Wang's wife and children there."

Xiao Qi was a little confused, "He has a wife in the city, and he has another wife in the countryside? He can even marry two?"

Jiang Yu patted his head, "He is a bad role model, don't learn from him."

Jiang Yu did not comment on Lao Wang.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, Lao Wang is on the opposite side of her and is someone she needs to guard against.

Jiang Yu's intuition tells her that Lao Wang has a problem.

Now it all depends on whether Xiao Qi can bring back some useful information.

However, a few days later, Xiao Qi returned empty-handed.

"His wife is Cuilian, she was Lao Wang's adopted daughter-in-law and gave birth to two sons. Later, Lao Wang went to the city to be a live-in son-in-law, and she did not remarry, and lived in the countryside with her two sons."

Everyone said that she was stubborn. Even though the man treated her so well, she was still devoted to him.

Some people also said that Cuilian was smart. Lao Wang's daughter-in-law in the city did not give him a child, so Lao Wang's things in the future all belonged to Cuilian's two children.

"She is just an ordinary country woman, there is nothing wrong with her."

Cuilian wore coarse cloth clothes and worked like everyone else. She was dark and tall.

Cuilian's life was very regular. She got up early in the morning, fed the chickens and ducks, and went to work in the fields. She

came back to make breakfast and continued to go to the fields.

Life seemed to be a fixed line between two points.

"If Lao Wang and Jiao Zongyao were in the same group, with the wealth in Jiao Zongyao's hands, even if a little bit of it leaked out, it would be enough for them to live a good life."

But Cui Lian's family did not seem to be living a good life.

Jiang Yu nodded. This was the first time her intuition was wrong.

Was she overthinking?

"Xiao Qi, let's do this for now. You continue to keep an eye on Jiao Zongyao and Wei Nan."

Jiang Yu's mind was a little confused. She had to sort out her thoughts.

It was another tiring day. Jiang Yu returned home with a dizzy head.

He Tingyue looked at her haggard face and frowned.

"Are you not feeling well?"

Jiang Yu shook her head. "I'm not feeling well, I'm just tired."

After she sat down, she leaned weakly on the table and told him about Lao Wang's family.

Her investigation was directed at the people that Jiao Zongyao had contacted.

His friend, Lao Wang, and Jin Lixuan's wife and children.

"Are these three people all okay? I was overthinking."

He Tingyue rubbed her temples, feeling a little distressed.

"According to your intuition, who of these people is most likely?"

"Lao Wang." Jiang Yu said without hesitation.

Even though Xiao Qi's results had ruled him out of suspicion, Jiang Yu still remained suspicious of him.

He Tingyue pinched her arm, "Then continue the investigation."

"Why?"

"Because Xiao Qi overlooked one point. There is still a difference between Cui Lian's family and ordinary country people."

Jiang Yu straightened up, "What's the difference?"

"The clothes their family wears don't have patches."

He Tingyue naturally wouldn't let Jiang Yu fight alone, and he also participated in the investigation of the whole thing.

To see a family's living standard, clothing and food are the most intuitive.

The clothes they wear have no patches, for one thing. Although they are dark-skinned, their faces are rosy and plump, and no one in the family is thin.

Even so, it is not considered a good life. What else can be considered good ?

Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes, "The less problems there are, the more it shows that he must have problems."

Will Jiao Zongyao hand over the things to Lao Wang for safekeeping?

The next day, Jiang Yu stopped at the guardhouse again.

"I remember your hometown is in Tangdian, right?"

Old Wang nodded with his smile on his face.

"You, my girl, have found out everything."

Jiang Yu said, "My husband is familiar with you, so there's no need for me to find out. We also want to go fishing in Tangdian this week, let's have a competition then?"

Old Wang's smile froze, and he fanned himself vigorously with a fan in his hand, sweating on his forehead.

"Let's talk about it later, I may not be free."

Jiang Yu tilted his head, "Your wife loves to eat fish, if you beat us, I'll leave all the fish for you."

Old Wang didn't agree, but waved his hand.

"Go in quickly, or you'll be late."

...

At night, a figure rushed in the dark.

When he arrived at the door of Jiao Zongyao's house, he pushed the door open and entered.

"Jiang Yuzhen has set her sights on me."

Jiao Zongyao smiled coldly, his unpredictable face hidden behind the smoke.

"She is not targeting you, but me."

Lao Wang said anxiously: "What can I do? They are guarding in the countryside, I can't get the things you want."

"What are you panicking about!" Jiao Zongyao glanced at him.

Lao Wang pursed his lips, "I just want to live a peaceful life, I don't want to cause so much trouble, can I..."

"Lao Wang, it's not so easy to get off my boat."

Jiao Zongyao laughed, "Your peaceful life has been gone since you killed your father-in-law."

Lao Wang's forehead was bulging with veins, and he screamed hard: "I didn't mean it! How long are you going to use this to control me? I have helped you enough!"

In these years, Jiao Zongyao's hands were clean because he kept everything.

He knew how dirty those things were, but he still helped him hold them in his hands.

"I beg you, I don't want anything, just take everything away. Jiang Yu didn't give up her suspicion at all, she has already set her sights on me!"

Jiang Yu pressed forward step by step, making Lao Wang panic.

She will go to the countryside in a few days, and she must be going there for those treasures.

Holding these things is like holding a hot potato.

Jiao Zongyao didn't say anything, and fell into deep thought.

With Jiang Yu staring at him, he was very passive now.

After a long time, he spoke.

"Do one last thing for me."

Since Jiang Yu is so curious about his things, let her curiosity be buried forever in the countryside.
