"Oh, it's Jiaojiao, little sister." Aunt Chi said with some delight.
This Jiaojiao sounds like a young girl, but she's actually about the same age as Aunt Haochi.
Yang Jiaojiao was a young lady from a collateral branch of the Yang family. However, her father did not hold a high official position, and her family was not wealthy, so she was no different from girls from ordinary families.
However, after Aunt Chi was recognized and taken back, the person who became close to her was Yang Jiaojiao.
Yang Jiaojiao should call Old Madam Yang "Auntie".
The man she married also happened to be surnamed Yang, but he wasn't from the same clan. He had failed the imperial examinations for over ten years and ended up working as a teacher in Zuoyang Town.
She had a son and a daughter, and her life was quite leisurely.
Moreover, Yang Jiaojiao and Aunt Chi got along particularly well, and Aunt Chi was very willing to talk to Yang Jiaojiao.
"Aunt Yang," Chi Tang greeted obediently.
"Hello, Aunt Yang," Xingxing greeted her as well.
Silang and An'an are also like that.
Yang Jiaojiao is a bit short, but she is pretty. When she was young, she must have had the kind of innocent, pure beauty.
And she's well-maintained; now, standing next to Aunt Chi, she looks like she's ten years younger.
Yang Jiaojiao, who was always smiling, pulled Xingxing over with a laugh: "Oh my, is this the grandson you were talking about? He's really strong and looks like he'll amount to something."
Yang Jiaojiao pinched Xingxing's arm and laughed even more happily.
Aunt Chi said with great pride, "Thank you, this is my eldest grandson."
"Oh, Sister Ruan Ruan, I really envy you. Not everyone has the blessing of having so many grandchildren here."
"Mother, are you targeting me?" The woman, who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, standing behind Yang Jiaojiao spoke out sharply.
The woman's features were ordinary, but a red beauty mark at the corner of her eye added a lot of charm.
Dressed in red, she was bold, capable, generous, and poised.
"Oh dear, if I were to point at you, I'd have to point at myself first."
"Hmph, I don't care. I knew Mom was targeting me. She'll have to make me a plate of pastries later."
The woman clung to Yang Jiaojiao, acting coquettishly.
Yang Jiaojiao laughed from ear to ear: "You little rascal."
"Auntie, we've finally come all the way to Zuoyang Town, so let us treat you to a meal."
Yang Jiaojiao's daughter-in-law, Hongyu, said loudly.
Aunt Chi declined apologetically, saying, "I'm really sorry, I'm really busy right now. Maybe next time."
"Oh, okay, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no."
"Then we won't keep you any longer, go on your way."
"Sure, when you have time, come visit us in Pinghe Town!" Aunt Chi warmly invited.
Yang Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
After watching the Chi family carriage drive away, Yang Jiaojiao said with some disappointment, "Sigh, what a great opportunity, why didn't I speak up?"
"Mom, don't worry. When we get back, we'll go to Pinghe Town for a couple of days, and then we can mention that matter to Auntie."
Hongyu, however, was not in a hurry.
It's okay to miss this opportunity. If you just happen to run into them, then go find them.
Anyway, it's not like we don't know where they live.
The key point is that the Chi family is clearly in a hurry now. If they are so tactless as to stop people from saying this and that, how annoying would that be?
It can easily backfire.
"Sigh, it's all because I'm useless. If only I had..."
"Hey, Mom, why are you bringing up those old, trivial matters? Nobody expected that old lady to be so stubborn. I heard the birthday banquet couldn't even be held this time; they said she was sick..."
Hongyu's eyes darted around, and she asked eagerly, "Mother, shouldn't we go and see our great-aunt?"
Yang Jiaojiao nodded: "Of course, knowing that your great-aunt is sick, it's only natural to go and see her. Visiting the Chi family, are you going to the Lin family?"
"Probably, but I don't know what urgent matter it is."
Hongyu said thoughtfully.
Yang Jiaojiao sighed and didn't say anything more. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law then prepared to go home.
-
As for the Chi family, even though Old Master Chi drove the carriage very fast, it still took him half a day to arrive.
It was already evening when we arrived.
With no other option, the family found a place to stay and waited until the early morning of the next day, when it was just getting light, before heading to pay their respects to Old Mrs. Lin.
Unexpectedly, as they passed by the Lin Family Escort Agency, a figure suddenly flew out diagonally and landed in front of the Chi family members with a "thud".
"Huainan, Huainan!"
Terrified, Wang ran out and, seeing Lin Huainan coughing up blood, didn't know what to do with her hands.
Immediately afterwards, a group of burly men came out.
The leader, who had a diagonal scar on his face, was a young boy.
Han Fu crossed his arms, smiled coldly, and suddenly swung a stick, striking Wang Shi directly on the back.
"ah!"
Wang screamed and fell onto Lin Huainan, nearly crushing him to death as he had just vomited blood.
The people around were so frightened that they dared not move.
Xingxing immediately pulled Aunt Chi and the others behind her, staring at them with a deep look in her eyes, quickly calculating in her mind whether she could defeat this group of people.
"Aren't you afraid we'll report you to the authorities?" Wang shouted, her voice trembling with fear.
Han Fu shrugged nonchalantly and said with a smile, "Then go report it to the authorities."
Chi Tang noticed that although the boy had a scar on his face, he looked like a cute, sunny boy when he smiled, and he also had a pair of dimples.
Those dimples look like they have sugar in them.
But when he suppressed his smile, the murderous intent and violence in his eyes were chilling.
What has this boy, who looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, gone through to develop such a complex personality?
"Lin Huainan, three days. I'm giving you three last days. If you can't repay the debt by then, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Han Fu made a harsh statement and then turned and left.
But at that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the little girl hiding behind the adults.
The little girl was fair-skinned and tender, with rosy cheeks and exquisitely beautiful features, like a fairy.
The most crucial thing is...
Xingxing stood in front of her aunt, her expression not very good.
Han Fu slowly walked over.
Ignoring the stars, he asked Chi Tang directly, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"What do you want to do?" Xingxing asked warily.
Old Man Chi immediately picked up his daughter and stepped back a few paces.
How can such a young child have such a strong sense of hostility?
Han Fu lifted his eyelids slightly, his expression full of impatience.
Several burly men behind him immediately stepped forward, but Han Fu stopped them.
"I just want to know what this little girl's name is."
"We don't..."
Suddenly, Lin Huainan crawled over and shouted, "Master Han, I know, I know! Her name is Chi Tang! Her father's name is Chi Yongcai, her mother's name is Li Lanniang, and she lives at..."
"Fuck your mother!"
Enraged, Old Man Chi abruptly handed his daughter to his wife and then viciously began beating Lin Huainan!
