Chapter 480: Grandfather was the Minister of Industry
Qin Hanzhang's eyes flashed with surprise at this time, and he turned to look at Su Qianqian: "Is this Mr. Jiang your uncle?"
Su Qianqian nodded: "This is my third uncle Jiang Nian."
Qin Hanzhang had no doubts and saluted: "Hanzhang greets...Mr. Jiang."
"Hmph! Just go away after you've seen me. There's no room for a giant Buddha like you here." Jiang Nian drove him away without any courtesy.
"Since this is Qianqian's uncle's house, Hanzhang is relieved. Please forgive me for disturbing you today. I will come to visit you formally another day."
Qin Hanzhang was not embarrassed and saluted respectfully, then turned around and looked at Jiang Baipin: "Young Master Jiang, it is inconvenient for you to be here. I have ordered Qin Shisan to wait outside the house. Please come back with me. I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Baipin was not convinced: "Why is it inconvenient for me to be here? I am Miss Su's friend... Hey, what are you doing..."
Qin Hanzhang suddenly took action, grabbed Jiang Baipin and walked out. Jiang Baipin was caught off guard, and it was not easy to use force in front of Su Qianqian's uncle, so he was grabbed by Qin Hanzhang and walked out of the living room.
"Grandfather, uncle, you're back!" Jiang Wuyou, who was watching the excitement outside the door, ran towards the gate happily.
One of the people who came in was a white-haired old man, the other was a middle-aged man, and there was a boy of about sixteen or seventeen beside him.
"Sister, I run fast, right? I found my grandfather and uncle and rushed back!" The young boy boasted proudly.
"Xiao Qi is the best!" Jiang Wuyou praised, and held the old man's arm: "Grandfather, cousin Qianqian is here!"
At this time, the old man was staring at Su Qianqian who came out from the living room. His eyes moved across her face inch by inch, and his daughter's shadow was seen in every part of her face.
"Qianqian greets grandpa." Su Qianqian knelt down solemnly and saluted, on behalf of Jiang Sui and the original owner.
"Get up quickly, Qianqian, it's Qianqian..." The old man's voice choked.
"I am your uncle, Qianqian. You look exactly like your mother when she was young." The middle-aged man next to him was also sad.
Qianqian greeted her uncle again. At this time, the old man noticed Qin Hanzhang next to him and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you the descendant of Qin Dingjiang?"
"That's my grandfather's name. Qin Hanzhang has met my grandfather."
"Who is your grandfather? Father, this is Qianqian's former husband. He thinks he is stubborn and self-righteous, and he even divorced Qianqian and ruined her reputation... Why don't you leave?"
Jiang Nian continued to drive people away with a sullen face.
"Oh? Is that really the case?" The old man turned to look at Qin Hanzhang, his eyes becoming much sharper.
"Grandfather...it is true. It was Hanzhang's fault for not considering the matter carefully. Please don't be angry." Qin Hanzhang did not explain much, but just apologized.
"Inconsiderate?" The old man's eyes swept over Su Qianqian and Qin Hanzhang: "Come in and tell me how you were inconsiderate." Then he took Su Qianqian and walked into the living room.
[Your grandfather was a capable man. When he was the Minister of Works, he tried his best to promote the dredging of silted water in rivers and divert it to the downstream to irrigate the fertile fields. He also improved the keel waterwheel so that even women could easily pedal the waterwheel to irrigate the fields.
It's a pity that because your grandfather advised local nobles to set an example in maintaining dams and sharing water resources, he was framed by the noble families and was dismissed from office and returned home. 】
The system sincerely praised the former Minister of Works. Su Qianqian's third uncle secretly glanced at his father and found that his father's hand paused for a moment when he was going to get the teacup and looked around.
[No wonder people like my second uncle are said to be uneducated. It seems that my grandfather's smart gene is very strong. For example, I...]
For example, who did you inherit your poor sense of direction from? 】The system revealed the flaw that Su Qianqian was most reluctant to face.
【Shut up! No one will know if you don’t tell me! 】Su Qianqian yelled angrily in her heart.
Except for my uncle Jiang Shan, everyone else at the table couldn't help but lower their heads in laughter.
[If I don’t tell you, would you know the secrets about your uncle? 】The system is not convinced.
[Your eldest uncle has been studying herbs and prescriptions all his life. It was he who first introduced your mother to herbs, but his talent and understanding were not as good as your mother's.
He once alienated his most beloved sister because he was jealous of your mother, but your mother always secretly corrected the prescription for the wrong medicine he used, and in order to prevent him from finding out, she also tried hard to imitate your uncle's handwriting.
Your uncle eventually found out and wanted to apologize to your mother but was too embarrassed to say it out loud until your mother got married. This became his biggest regret.
So he painstakingly studied the prescription, and when he arrived in Muchuan he stayed in the mountains to look for herbs and test the medicines. My dear, your uncle may not know this yet, but his skills have already enabled him to be called a miracle doctor. 】
[My grandfather’s family is the treasure hidden in Muchuan. Even the dog emperor doesn’t know what he has lost! 】
Su Qianqian complained and everyone was startled, but tried their best to pretend they didn't hear anything.
"Qianqian, your grandfather has not contacted you and your sister for so many years because he was convicted. Has your mother ever blamed us?"
"My mother always smiles when she talks about my grandparents and uncles. How could she blame you?"
Su Qianqian did not lie. In the original owner's memory, her mother's expression was always happy and nostalgic when she mentioned her family.
"Your grandmother traveled all the way to Muchuan with great difficulty, and she often missed your mother. She passed away within a few years. At that time, your mother had just given birth to you, so I didn't let your uncles send a letter, for fear that she would be too sad and sick. But she actually knew..."
Su Qianqian listened quietly, and some memories gradually emerged. She remembered her mother in plain clothes holding her, secretly shedding tears and muttering: "The person who gave birth to me is gone..."
My mother was in poor health at that time. After giving birth to Runhe, she eventually died due to the mental bullying from her mother-in-law and Zhang.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Tell me how you got here." Grandfather waved his hand and changed the subject.
Su Qianqian recounted what happened in Xijing again.
"I didn't expect that there would be such chaos outside...that they could even do something to the Qin family!" The old man shook his head angrily.
"Qin boy, you knew that the Qin family was going to be in trouble, so you deliberately proposed a divorce to protect her, right?" The old man turned and looked at Qin Hanzhang.
Qin Hanzhang didn't expect Su Qianqian's grandfather to ask so directly, but after a pause, he finally nodded:
"Not only her, I have tried my best to protect all the members of the Qin family, but as for Qianqian... I embarrassed her with the method I used. It was indeed my inconsiderateness."
[Haha, you are now saying that you are inconsiderate. Don't think that I will forgive you. I am a villain. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, but a villain's revenge begins from morning to night. You make me sad, so I won't let you have an easy time! 】
Su Qianqian uttered harsh words in her heart.
"That's right!" Su Qianqian's third uncle Jiang Nian said loudly, only to realize after he finished speaking that he had taken the wrong turn and it sounded like he was helping Qin Hanzhang.
"Thank you, Third Uncle, for your righteous words." Qin Hanzhang climbed up the pole and saluted towards Jiang Nian.
