Chapter 382 Investigating the truth of the past

Fang Shuyu went to reprocess the dishes.

The group had a harmonious meal, and Fang Shuyu and his uncle and aunt went home.

Mingzhu was a little tired, so she went back to her room to rest after washing up. Jiang Duo chatted with his grandfather in the living room for a long time.

When Jiang Duo returned to his room, his steps were very light.

He had just carefully laid down when Mingzhu's little head skillfully came over and rested on his arm.

Jiang Duo held her gently and kissed her head lightly, "Did I wake you up?"

Mingzhu didn't close her eyes, but replied lazily, "I wasn't asleep anyway."

"Aren't you sleepy? Why can't you sleep? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"I'm not sleepy, it's just that my big belly makes my body feel a little tired. I feel a little relieved when I lie on the bed."

But it's not absolutely relieved. Anyway, being pregnant is not a pleasant feeling.

Jiang Duo stroked her head gently, "You've worked so hard."

Mingzhu didn't respond, otherwise Jiang Duo would start to feel sorry for her and start to have wild thoughts.

She opened her eyes and looked up at him: "I just heard you and grandpa talking about my uncle?"

Jiang Duo nodded: "My uncle came to see grandpa some time ago. He has reached retirement age in the factory, and it is time for my cousin to take over, but my cousin doesn't think much of this job and wants to join the government."

Mingzhu thought of Jiang Zhen in her impression, which made people feel unreal: "Grandpa wants you to help arrange it?"

Jiang Duo shook his head: "No, grandpa knows that Jiang Zhen is not the kind of person who can serve the people. Putting him in a government agency will only cause trouble for the country."

"So what did you talk about for so long?"

"Grandpa complained to me. The problem with uncle's family now is that they are still living in the dormitory of the watch factory."

Mingzhu suddenly realized. No wonder aunt was racking her brains to squeeze grandpa in: "Uncle is retiring. If Jiang Zhen doesn't take over, the house in the factory can't be lived in anymore."

Jiang Duo nodded: "Aunt is not a good person anywhere. She has offended almost everyone in the factory. Once uncle retires and the factory takes back the dormitory, their family will be homeless. Then they will definitely trouble grandpa."

Mingzhu heard from Jiang Sui that Jiang Qi used his connections to get Jiang Zhen a temporary clerk in a government agency.

But he felt that he was just a temporary position and had to help Jiang Qi. He was not convinced and resigned not long after he started.

Last year, Jiang Duo's father arranged for him to work in the steel factory. It was a good unit and many people lined up to get in. But he was tired and resigned after working for less than a year.

When the factory director found Jiang Duo's father and told him about this, his father was so angry that he didn't want to take care of him anymore.

In the past six months, he has been wasting time at home, claiming to be looking for a better opportunity, but in fact he is just living off his parents. He is obviously not good at anything and he doesn't think highly of the work in the watch factory.

This attitude of being overambitious and incompetent is exactly the same as his old mother.

"Grandpa is talking to you about this because he has already made a plan in mind."

Jiang Duo nodded: "Grandpa wants to buy a yard for uncle in the outer suburbs, so that he will have a place to stay even after retirement, and the whole family will stay away from here and not bother me, but..."

Mingzhu looked at Jiang Duo's helpless look and asked with a smile: "Grandpa is afraid that aunt will find it too far and refuse to live there, and then continue to make trouble when she comes back, and he is also afraid that uncle is cowardly and can't take care of the yard, so aunt will sell it."

Jiang Duo gently rubbed Mingzhu's shoulders: "You really can't hide anything from you, this is what grandpa is afraid of."

"Then what did you say?"

"I don't agree with Grandpa buying a house for Uncle, because buying a house can't solve the fundamental problem of Uncle's family."

Mingzhu nodded in approval: "Well, the fundamental problem of Uncle's family is that Feng Qiaozhen is powerful, and more importantly, Uncle has never been able to make decisions. If Grandpa compromises this time, Feng Qiaozhen will definitely think that since the old man can compromise once, he can compromise a second time. Anyway, the Jiang family can't watch the eldest son and grandson have no place to live. If it gets out, it will simply be a disgrace to the Jiang family."

Jiang Duo nodded: "Uncle has been submissive for half a lifetime. If he is asked to change now, I'm afraid he can't change."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Hearing Mingzhu say this, Jiang Duo looked at her curiously: "Do you have a solution?"

"I asked grandpa, and grandma liked uncle's previous fiancée very much. Uncle and Feng Qiaohui had been exchanging letters, which proves that uncle liked each other. If Feng Qiaohui hadn't gotten into trouble and married someone else, uncle's current ending might be different."

Jiang Duo sighed: "It has already happened, and hypothetical things are meaningless."

"Of course it is meaningful," Mingzhu sat up with her hands on the bed, facing Jiang Duo seriously: "Hasn't any of you ever doubted why Feng Qiaohui had to get into trouble before the marriage, and why once the accident happened, Feng Qiaozhen's family could think of a way to let Feng Qiaozhen marry in her place?" Jiang Duo stared at

Mingzhu for a moment, frowning: "You mean... that incident was not an accident?"

"I doubted it when I first heard Sui Sui talk about this. After all, Grandpa was a war hero admired by everyone. Everyone knew that if you could marry into the Jiang family, it would be equivalent to rewriting your destiny. But the marriage contract between the Jiang and Feng families is for the daughter of the eldest branch of the Feng family. As long as Feng Qiaohui is fine, this good thing will not fall on their branch."

Jiang Duo's eyes darkened a little: "It has been decades since the incident. It is difficult to investigate this matter."

"My personal opinion is that we can find someone to secretly investigate Feng Qiaohui's husband. I've heard from my third aunt that he is a second-rate guy. Such people are easy to give in when it comes to interests. If we can't find out anything, it will be considered that we have done something in vain. But what if we find out?"

Jiang Duo pondered for a long time before saying, "Aunt gave birth to three children for the Jiang family. I'm afraid..." "

The purpose of our finding out the truth is not to drive anyone away, but to make the truth known to everyone, to let uncle know what kind of woman he has been yielding to all these years. Moreover, if the truth is revealed, do you think your aunt will still have the courage to continue to be arrogant and domineering in the Jiang family and irritate grandpa? "

Jiang Duo suddenly realized: "You mean, help uncle find the fault of aunt, so that uncle can stand up again in the family."

Mingzhu smiled: "That's right."

Jiang Duo nodded: "Tomorrow I will send someone to investigate secretly."

"As you said, this happened too many years ago, so it may be difficult to investigate. Let your people investigate secretly first. If you can use money to pry open the mouth of the insider, that would be the best. But if you can't, then I have another way..."
