Someone in the room could be heard crying.
The second grandfather felt dizzy and almost fell down. After being supported by the second grandmother, he squatted on the ground with his face covered.
"Tell me! What did you and your mother do to grandpa?" Jiang Erlang's questioning made everyone temporarily put aside their grief and glared at the two culprits.
After the rag was removed from his mouth, Jiang Shujian immediately cried out in injustice: "We are innocent! Mom and I were talking to Dad peacefully, but who knew he would suddenly convulse and die! How can this be blamed on Mom and me? Why isn't it because you didn't take good care of the old man?"
While everyone's attention was focused on Mrs. Liu and her son, Jiang Huaixu briefly examined Old Man Jiang's body.
After the inspection, she felt more confident and looked around carefully, finding that various parts of the room seemed to have been turned over.
"Did anyone see when she entered this room?" Jiang Huaixu asked, pointing at Mrs. Liu.
Jiang Erlang glanced at Jiang Huaixu and knew that she must have thought of something when she asked this question, so he frowned and thought about it immediately.
"Dad got up before the hour of Mao (5-7 a.m.) this morning. After looking at the sky for a while, he said he wanted to go to the village chief's house again. My second brother said he would go with him as the road was slippery and we could take care of him." Boss Jiang said, wiping away tears.
He wanted to say that he came to accompany his father, but seeing that his father was genuinely happy, he didn't say anything.
Qian Xiuzhu immediately responded, "They came back one after the other around 6:00 AM. My father-in-law looked very unhappy. I asked him what was wrong, but he didn't say anything."
"Did you say something?" Jiang Dalang grabbed Jiang Shujian's hair with red eyes.
Being held down by his two nephews, Jiang Shujian was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stiffened his neck and roared, "He is my father! No matter how rebellious I am, I still know how to be filial!"
"Filial piety? Are you sure?" Jiang Huaixu sneered and walked up to Jiang Shujian. "I woke up last night and heard you and your mother discussing how to steal Grandpa's money."
Jiang Shujian's eyes flashed with panic, and he immediately retorted: "You are talking nonsense, a dead girl dares to slander me..."
“Snap—”
A clear slap mark was left on Jiang Shujian's face, and soon bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I was a bit harsh, I'm sorry, Second Uncle. I know you're anxious, but please wait until I finish." Jiang Huaixu stood up and said calmly, "Last night, when you told Liu that you wanted Grandpa out, Liu went to the house to look for money. She knew where Grandpa would hide the money."
After saying this, she pointed to several places such as the boxes and the inside of the bed that had been turned over. "This has obviously been turned over, right?"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and their expressions suddenly changed.
Second Grandpa stepped forward and kicked Jiang Shujian several times in the waist. Second Grandma grabbed Liu Pozi's hair and slapped her several times.
After the two of them finished beating and scolding each other, Jiang Huaixu symbolically stopped them, "Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, don't get angry. We're not sure if it was Liu who came in and turned it over."
Liu was dizzy from the beating, and when she heard what Jiang Huaixu said, she almost vomited blood.
Not sure what the hell you're talking about!
Jiang Erlang asked, "Second Madam sat at the door of the main hall for a long time this morning. Did you see anything?"
The room where Old Man Jiang sleeps is inside the main hall, so people sitting at the door of the main hall can sense whether anyone enters or leaves this room.
Second Grandma shook her head. "I was sewing all morning, but then my eyes couldn't take it anymore, so I went to help Dalang's wife boil some water. By then, they hadn't returned yet."
"It was probably during this gap that she entered the house and rummaged around." Jiang Erlang looked at Liu.
Liu struggled harder and harder.
Qian Xiuzhu took the rag out of her mouth and asked her to speak.
"Catch the thief and the stolen goods, Qian, you searched me too, tell me what you found!"
"Of course I can't find anything. Didn't you find anything?" Boss Jiang said bitterly, "Ever since Dad divorced you, my wife has been in charge of the family's money!"
Mrs. Liu really wanted to spit at Boss Jiang. How glorious it was for a man to be controlled so strictly by his own woman!
Jiang Shujian, who had recovered, glared at Jiang Huaixu fiercely. If it weren't for this bitch, he would have been able to get away with it completely!
At this point, we can only sacrifice the car to save the driver.
"Anyway, the old man's death cannot be blamed on me. It's all my mother's fault! It was my mother who instigated it! The old man was so angry that he fainted because he saw her stealing things in the house!" Jiang Shujian shouted.
He had no choice. It was better for one person to die than for two people to die together, right?
My mother and father are divorced, but he is still the old man's biological son and the eldest brother's biological brother. As long as he relies on the eldest wife, he will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Besides, if he lives a good life, it can also be a way out for me.
Jiang Shujian thought so and felt that this approach was very thoughtful.
Jiang Huaixu looked at Jiang Shujian as if he were a fool. Did the slap she just gave him shake his brains?
I'm suffering from stupidity.
When Mrs. Liu heard these words, her cursing voice suddenly stopped, and she stood there in a daze as if her soul had left her body, unable to make a sound.
"I don't know who instigated it, but there's a lump on the back of Grandpa's head, and it's definitely related to you and your son." Jiang Huaixu said to Jiang Laodao, "Dad, even if these two aren't sent to the authorities, they can't stay in Shili Village, let alone at home."
Hearing this, Jiang Erlang quickly stuffed the scrap of cloth into Jiang Shujian's mouth again, and Jiang Shujian could only roar silently.
Second Grandfather nodded in agreement, "You're right, girl. These two are vicious and will definitely cause trouble in the future. We should send their family to the village chief as witnesses and remove their status as members of the Jiang clan."
They acted immediately. Boss Jiang and Qian Xiuzhu decided to go there themselves. They both put on straw raincoats, tied up Liu's mother and son with hemp ropes, and the four of them walked into the rain.
"Second cousin, you will be in charge of taking care of my father's body..." Boss Jiang warned with red eyes.
"Hey, don't worry!"
After the four of them walked out of the courtyard, Zhao suddenly knelt down in front of the second grandfather and second grandmother and kowtowed several times.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I know my husband and mother-in-law have committed a serious crime. I dare not ask for forgiveness. I only ask that you take care of my two daughters temporarily. I want to go and see how the village chief will deal with them. They are still young and have been caught in the rain before. Now they must not be caught in the rain again..."
As he said this, he kowtowed again.
The Second Mistress was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see her like this, so she could only step forward and support her.
"Forget it, go ahead." Second Grandpa waved his hand. "No matter what the result is, remember you still have your mother's family and your two daughters."
"Thank you, second uncle, thank you, second aunt!"
After expressing her gratitude, Zhao stood up, her beautiful face full of sadness. She glanced at her two daughters and rushed into the heavy rain.
Jiang Fu held her sister's hand with her eyes downcast, her expression blank. When Jiang Rong saw her mother leave, she immediately burst into tears.
