Jiang Huaixu immediately remembered the group of people who came last night.
She asked Jiang Sanlang: "What do they want?"
Jiang Sanlang said angrily: "They want silver!"
Before the incense stick was lit, Qian Dazhi and his wife and children went from tent to tent looking for Jiang Boliang's family. As expected, they saw Jiang Boliang standing in line to receive porridge.
"Brother-in-law!" His reckless shout attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Boliang turned his head to look, but when he didn't recognize him, he thought he was calling someone else. It wasn't until Qian Dazhi rushed over that he realized that the man in front of him, with an unshaven beard and a face as black as a beggar, was his brother-in-law Qian Dazhi.
He pulled the person away from him with disgust, "Are you also fleeing here?"
"Of course I did. If I had listened to you, I would have left earlier. We haven't rested much along the way. We chased you all the way, but we didn't catch up until we reached Ganzhou City. Brother-in-law, where is my sister?"
There were deep furrows between Jiang Boliang's brows. "Xiuzhu doesn't want to see you. Tell me what's going on."
Qian Dazhi hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out, "You don't know, but on the way here, my daughter Erya was left unattended and was cooked and eaten. Now, apart from the dry food we need to barely survive, we don't have a single copper coin. It will cost ten taels of silver to enter the city. What are we going to do? Talk to my sister and see if you can lend us some money. I'll definitely pay you back later!"
Jiang Boliang, who was frightened by Qian Dazhi's first words and got goose bumps all over his body, shook his head for a while and said, "Don't even think about it. My family has no money, and Xiuzhu won't let you lend it."
Qian Dazhi was anxious. He tugged at Jiang Boliang's clothes and asked, "Look at how you're dressed. You look so much better than me. How could you not have money? Where's Qian Xiuzhu? Let her come see me!"
Jiang Boliang, who hadn't been hungry all the way, was much stronger than Qian Dazhi. He pushed Qian Dazhi hard and shouted, "General, there's trouble here!"
Hearing the noise, the soldier who was about to deal with the situation quickened his pace and pulled Qian Dazhi, who had fallen to the ground, out of the crowd.
When Qian Dazhi was dragged away, he was still cursing dirty words.
After making the porridge, Jiang Boliang returned to the tent and told Qian Xiuzhu about Qian Dazhi. Qian Xiuzhu was so angry that she threw the quilt in her hand onto the oilcloth again.
"I thought I would never see them again in my lifetime, but in the end I couldn't escape!" The words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, and anyone could hear the resentment in them.
Jiang Boliang put down the porridge in his hand and said, "Wife, you are not alone now. If they want to bully you again, they have to ask me if I agree. Your three sons and two daughters are not to be messed with!"
"Where is Dong Er Niang?" Qian Xiuzhu asked.
Jiang Boliang shook his head. "I didn't see it. I think he was looking after the child."
He hesitated for a moment and told the story of Arya.
Qian Xiuzhu sneered, "Mrs. Dong treats her two precious sons like her lifeblood, so naturally she can't spare the slightest bit of time to care for others. We should enter the city early to avoid arguing with them."
"Brother Zhengmao said the city gates will open at the end of the Mao hour. Let's go line up after we finish our porridge."
The two men packed up their things with their fellow villagers and were about to load them into the truck when they saw a thin woman rushing towards them.
When Jiang Huaixu walked over, he saw a woman sitting on the ground throwing a tantrum. "Qian Xiuzhu, you shameless bitch! You let those soldiers arrest your own brother. Are you still human? You will die a horrible death... Ah! Whoever hit me, whoever hit me! Get out here!"
Dong Erniang covered her head and screamed miserably.
Jiang Huaixu retracted his hand that was throwing the stone, clapped it, and asked sternly, "Where did you come from, you bitch? How dare you pretend to be my uncle and aunt?! Everyone in our village knows that my uncle and his family passed away long ago, and you just picked someone out and said he was my uncle. Where's the evidence?!"
Everyone in the Jiang family and the villagers were stunned for a moment. Even Dong Erniang, who was sitting on the ground with her head hit, was stunned for a moment.
Second Grandma was the first to react. She hurriedly said, "Xiuzhu has been married to our village for so many years. Who knows as much as we do? Her brother and sister-in-law were crushed to death by the earth dragon a long time ago. I don't even know you!"
"I don't know him!"
"If you make any more trouble, I'll have you arrested!"
Dong Erniang pointed at Qian Xiuzhu in disbelief, her face flushed and she yelled, "Ask her if she recognizes me?! She used to call me sister-in-law so affectionately, but now that we've fallen on hard times, she doesn't want to acknowledge me, right?"
Qian Xiuzhu glanced at Dong Erniang and said lightly, "My brother and sister-in-law died a long time ago."
After saying that, he walked towards the carriage with the bedding.
Dong Erniang felt that she had performed this scene at the top of her lungs, but not only did it not hurt Qian Xiuzhu at all, it made her so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Suddenly, a person appeared in her sight. Her eyes lit up, and she stood up and stumbled over: "Boss, your sister doesn't recognize me - she even cursed us to death!"
