After dinner, Jiang Li found his uncle and started chatting with him in private.
After hearing what his niece said, Jiang Qingguo asked in disbelief, "Are you telling the truth?"
Jiang Li nodded seriously, "Really, I discovered it by accident. Fortunately, this person has a bottom line and does not traffic in people, otherwise the girls in our village would be in danger." And she is most likely the number one target.
After all, the original owner was the most beautiful in the whole village.
"You pretend you know nothing about this matter. I'll ask your brothers how to deal with it later."
The other party was linked to enemy spies, so he didn't dare to deal with it easily. If they found out anything, at best they would run away, and at worst they would retaliate against their entire village. He couldn't afford the consequences.
Seeing that his uncle was a little nervous, Jiang Li comforted him, "Uncle, Widow Li is just a nobody, you don't need to be nervous."
Jiang Qingguo: "Well, don't be nervous, I will handle it."
I don’t know what’s going on recently. Not only have human traffickers come to the village, but now even enemy spies have appeared. I don’t know what’s going on in their village.
At night, Jiang Li harvested all the mature plants in the space and then fell asleep peacefully.
That day, she was woken up by the voices of her two younger brothers before she even woke up.
"Jingrui, keep your voice down, your sister is still sleeping."
Jiang Jingrui said excitedly: "The sun is about to burn our butts, why hasn't my sister gotten up yet?"
Jiang Jingwen had a headache, "Can you please shut up!"
What's wrong with a girl sleeping in? Why is this little brother so nagging? I really admire this old man.
"What are you two talking about?"
Suddenly hearing Jiang Li's voice, the brother turned around and saw his sister standing at the door.
Because Jiang Li had just woken up, not only was his hair messy, but there was also a little bit of eye booger hanging from his eyes.
"Sister, you finally woke up. We agreed to go out and play. How could you lie to a child?"
Hearing Jiang Jingzhe's words, Jiang Li glanced at the sun and said, "It's only what time now, why are you so anxious?"
"Oh, it's getting late. I don't know how many times the rooster in the backyard has crowed. Look at yourself. Go wash your face."
Jiang Li sighed, "Okay, I'll go change my clothes first."
Jiang Li was too tired to complain about these two clingy younger brothers. After all, she was the inheritor of the original owner's family affection.
On the other hand, Huo Beiyu returned to the army overnight after catching the fugitive.
By the time he had dealt with the matter, his eyes were already bloodshot.
Seeing him like this, the leader felt sorry for him and said, "Go home early and have a rest. I'll give you a day off tomorrow."
Huo Beiyu: "Okay, thank you, leader."
At the Huo family, an exquisite old lady was planting vegetables in the yard. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she stood up and looked back.
Seeing that it was his grandson who came back, he smiled and said, "Why are you back at this time? Is the team not busy?"
When Huo Beiyu heard what his grandmother said, he replied, "I just finished my work. Is there any food at home? I'm starving." He had been busy outside for several days and had hardly had a proper meal. The food was either not tasty or extremely unpalatable.
"Grandma will make you a bowl of noodles. Go take a shower and change your clothes first."
Huo Beiyu nodded, "Okay, I'll go upstairs first."
The old lady Ouyang Qing, when she was young, not only was her family very wealthy and well-connected, she also went to the battlefield with her husband, but her husband passed away early.
Fortunately, his son has done well, and now their Huo family has firmly established its foothold in Kyoto.
However, she became a little worried when she thought that her grandson was already 22 years old and still single.
As soon as the noodles were cooked, Huo Beiyu went downstairs and sat down, and the old lady asked, "I have recently shown you a few girls. It's a good opportunity that you are back now, why don't you go and see them tomorrow?"
"Everyone your age is a father in this compound."
Huo Beiyu paused with his chopsticks in his hand, and then said helplessly: "Grandma, please stop interfering. I will find you a granddaughter-in-law."
"As for what you saw, forget it. Apart from anything else, those girls are either crybabies or troublemakers. If they were brought back, wouldn't the roof of our house be blown off?"
"And those people in the compound, do they really like me? If it weren't for my father's status, do you think they would treat you well?"
Ouyang Qing snorted coldly when she heard her second grandson's words: "It's a blessing for their family that my grandson can fall in love with their girl."
"Besides, you're no worse than your father, so don't act like those people are snobs."
"Also, the girl from the Lu family next door has been coming to see me recently. Do you think that girl has a crush on you?"
Huo Beiyu heard, "Lu Jiaojiao?"
The old lady nodded, "Yes, it's that little girl. You know the Lu family. They only have one little girl and they usually pamper her."
Huo Beiyu sneered after hearing this: "Don't harm your grandson. Lu Jiaojiao looks weak and tender, but she is dark inside."
"One time I was walking through an alley on my way back from doing some work, and guess what I saw?"
The old lady asked curiously, "What did you see?"
"Humph, that Lu Jiaojiao brought two little followers and was bullying a little beggar. She even made him kneel down and beg them. You didn't see her vicious face, so don't just look at the surface. This person has a dark heart."
After hearing what her grandson said, the old lady was also very surprised, "You didn't lie to me?"
Huo Beiyu swallowed the noodles and said, "Why would I lie to you? I wouldn't deliberately ruin a girl's reputation."
"Everyone in the compound is good at disguising themselves. You are old, so don't be fooled!"
While the two were talking, they heard someone outside shouting, "Grandma Huo, are you home?"
When the two heard the voice, they looked at each other instantly.
Huo Beiyu quickly finished the noodles in his bowl and said, "I'm going upstairs to sleep. Just say I'm not at home. You can handle it yourself!"
Seeing her grandson pushing her out like this, the old lady was furious and scolded, "You bastard, I really owe you this, get out of here!"
After cleaning up the restaurant, the old lady walked out and said with a smile, "Hey, is Jiaojiao here? Come in quickly."
Lu Jiaojiao was carrying a bag of apples, and as she walked, she smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm looking for a job recently, and I just came back to see you."
"And this apple is a gift from me to you. Please keep it and enjoy it slowly."
Ouyang Qing originally had a good impression of this little girl, but after hearing what her grandson said, she no longer had that feeling.
"Jiaojiao, you haven't started working yet and you don't have any salary. Take this apple back to your parents. I have bad teeth and can't eat many. Be obedient."
Lu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Grandma, I bought this especially for you. Please enjoy it slowly."
"By the way, I heard that Brother Huo is back. Isn't he home?"
When the old lady heard this, she thought that he really came for his grandson, and then she replied without thinking: "He came back and left again, saying that he had something to take care of."
