Chapter 144 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting
After swaying in the carriage for a long time, both of them felt weak and had no strength. Looking at the bright lights in Liyang County at night, it seemed quite lively.
Now that you are here, it would be a shame if you don’t walk around and have a look around.
In spring, the temperature is just right and there are many people strolling around at night. The teahouses, restaurants and snack stalls on both sides of the street are bustling with people.
After walking around for a while, Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia already had a bunch of snacks in their hands.
Pea yellow, mung bean cake, smile, sugar-coated peanuts.
Song Jingyun was still chewing the last bite of taro crisp.
"Madam, there seems to be rolled noodles over there. Shall we try some?" Song Jingyun suggested, looking at a busy little stall in front.
Jiang Mixia, "..."
Yes, it is possible, but does the little son-in-law really only have one stomach? He just had dinner, and now he has stuffed a lot of snacks, and now he wants to eat rolled noodles.
Jiang Mixia was really worried that her little son-in-law might have eaten too much.
"Come on, let's go and try it. I think it tastes good."
Before Jiang Mixia could think any more, Song Jingyun had already grabbed Jiang Mixia's sleeve and walked towards the stall.
Bang! A figure hurriedly walked out of the alley and bumped into Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia.
The various snacks in Song Jingyun's hands were scattered all over the floor.
Fortunately, Jiang Mixia was quick to pull him, otherwise Song Jingyun would have fallen on his butt.
The other party's situation was obviously not as optimistic as Song Jingyun's.
It was a woman in her forties, holding a one-year-old child in her arms, who had fallen to the ground.
The woman got up quickly, rubbing her aching back, and yelled at Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun, "How dare you walk without paying attention!"
After saying that, he reached out and picked up the child who had fallen to the ground.
The child now had his eyes tightly closed, as soft as noodles. The woman realized that it was difficult to hold the child, so she simply put the child's upper body on her shoulders and covered the child tightly with the adult coat that was originally wrapped around the child.
Seeing Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun staring at her, the woman glared at them again, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig your eyeballs out!"
As he spoke, he was about to walk past Jiang Mixia and continue forward.
This man, and this child...
Jiang Mixia frowned and reached out to stop the woman.
"What do you want to do?" The woman looked alert and took several steps back.
"Auntie, I'm so sorry for bumping into you just now." Jiang Mixia apologized immediately, "It must have hurt just now. The child fell to the ground. The child is still so young. Please don't let anything go wrong. There is a clinic next to it. I'll take you and the child to see a doctor."
"We are both fine, there is no need to go to the doctor." The woman refused again and again, "You touched me, and I touched you, so we are even now."
"How can we be even? Neither of us fell, but you and the child did. You'd better go and take a look no matter what. Otherwise, if something really happens, you won't be able to explain it later." Jiang Mixia insisted.
"No, no..." the woman said and turned to run back.
Jiang Mixia reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, "This child is not yours, right?"
"Let me go!" When the woman saw that she was discovered, she suddenly became furious and kicked Jiang Mixia, trying to break free with her hands.
But the kick missed the target, and her wrist felt as if it was tightly clamped by an iron clamp. No matter how hard the woman tried, she could not break free from Jiang Mixia.
The woman was anxious and angry. Her eyes rolled and she suddenly shouted in a shrill voice, "Someone is stealing the child! Someone is stealing the child!"
Kidnapping a child? The bustling street suddenly became quiet for a moment, and then people gathered around.
Seeing this, the woman continued to yell, "My grandson fell asleep, and I took him home, and that little girl came from nowhere and snatched my eldest grandson away!"
"This kidnapper is so despicable. How dare he rob people openly on the street?"
"Look at this quiet and gentle young lady, but she actually did such a dirty thing!"
"Don't say so much, drag him to see the official!"
Every year, there are always a few children who are lost or abducted in the county, and most of them have no news at all, and no one can find their bodies, whether they are alive or dead.
Occasionally, one or two people would be found dead or disabled.
Everyone hated the kidnapper so much that they were filled with indignation and wanted to surround Jiang Mixia.
The woman felt relieved when she saw this, and planned to find a chance to slip away when chaos arose.
But before everyone gathered around, Jiang Mixia grinned and burst into tears, and knelt down in front of the woman at lightning speed!
After kneeling down, he hugged the woman's legs and cried, "Mom, I said, I won't remarry, I won't remarry!"
"I know you dislike my husband for not having a proper business, and think I can't help my four younger brothers at home, so you want me to marry Shopkeeper Xue as a concubine. I don't agree, so you want to take Little Tiger away and sell him."
"Mother, how can you be so cruel? This little tiger is your own grandson, the flesh and blood of me, and you are going to give it to a human trafficker in exchange for five taels of silver?"
"If you insist on selling Little Tiger today and force me to remarry, I will run into a wall and die on this street!"
Jiang Mixia cried so miserably that everyone was stunned.
So this isn't a kidnapper stealing the child, but a conflict within the family?
Moreover, this young lady cried so miserably, even saying the child's name so vividly, and even knowing that the human trafficker would pay five taels of silver...
I guess it should be true.
The people's original intention to catch the kidnapper was shaken, and some people even began to speak up for Jiang Mixia, "Old sister-in-law, this forced melon is not sweet, as long as the child is well, why do you have to force the child?"
"That's right. This is the root of her husband's family. You are a grandmother, how can you sell your grandson? Aren't you afraid that her husband's family will come to you to complain?"
"Besides, she's already married and has children. Even if she marries someone from a wealthy family, they'll probably look down on her. Don't bother with it. What's important is that the family lives in harmony..."
The panicked woman said, "..."
What the hell is going on!
"This bitch is not my daughter. She is the kidnapper who stole the child!" the woman argued loudly.
"Mom, I won't remarry, and you can't sell Little Tiger!" Jiang Mixia cried with tears in her eyes.
Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills!
The onlookers on the side, "..."
I really don’t know who to advise for a moment.
"The messenger is here!"
I don't know who shouted.
The woman suddenly panicked and tried desperately to break free from Jiang Mixia and escape, but after several attempts and finding it was useless, she simply threw the child at Jiang Mixia.
Jiang Mixia hurriedly reached out to pick up the child.
Seeing this, the woman ran away.
Thanks to the few cuties who voted for the monthly ticket yesterday, muah. There will be another update a little later~ (End of this chapter)
