Chapter 243 Continuation of Life
This day.
After Jiang Ning had lunch, he took a nap under the care of Wang Chunxia.
Wang Chunxia brought some wool and sat next to Jiang Ning to knit a sweater.
She has rough hands and is not good at such delicate work, so she will easily make it crooked if she is not careful.
But it's getting cold.
Moreover, the sisters-in-law in the compound were not unaware of what happened in the military camp.
They all knew that the men in their families might rush to the front line at any time at the command.
Even in sewing class lately, there’s been more going on.
All they had to make were winter cotton-padded clothes for soldiers.
This seems to be a silent foreshadowing.
So the sisters-in-law all hope to knit a sweater for their men before the snow falls in winter.
In this way, even if you really go to war later, you can still wear warm clothes and won't be cold.
Wang Chunxia thought the same, so even though she didn't know how to knit, she still tried hard to knit sweaters.
Every stitch is filled with love.
I hope the man in my family can be safe even on the battlefield where gunfire is raging.
Jiang Ning woke up from a nap.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that Wang Chunxia had stopped knitting and was looking at her with a slightly complicated expression.
"Sister Chunxia, what's wrong? Did you forget the stitches again? Or did you make a mistake in knitting? Let me see it."
Jiang Ning supported himself with his hands and slowly sat up.
After another good night's sleep, she felt much better.
She had hidden the sadness that had been in her trance before very well.
But Wang Chunxia shook her head.
It's not about knitting sweaters.
But...
"Sister Ning, the old village chief brought someone here just now. That person wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"
"Who is it?"
Jiang Ning looked up in confusion.
Jiang Xinrou is dead, who else wants to see her?
Wang Chunxia looked conflicted and opened and closed her lips several times before she revealed the man's identity.
"It's the little girl's parents."
That is the poor child who was deceived by Jiang Xinrou on the edge of the cliff.
Such a big thing happened in the village and caused such a big commotion.
Dangerous accidents, Jiang Ning's identity, Qin Jiulie's identity...
These things had already spread throughout the village.
Even a deaf person might know it.
Wang Chunxia said worriedly.
"Sister Ning, I think you'd better not meet him. Seeing that little girl might remind you of that time. You haven't fully recovered yet, so you should rest. I'll go out later and refuse the invitation for you."
What Wang Chunxia said was entirely out of consideration for Jiang Ning.
But in Jiang Ning's heart...
But there is another consideration.
She said softly, "You should still meet, Sister Chunxia, don't worry, I will be fine."
In this way.
Half an hour later, Jiang Ning met the little girl and her parents.
The little girl's parents are a simple peasant couple.
The couple were wearing tattered clothes, and their faces were filled with nervousness, fear and trepidation.
Ever since they found out that their child almost caused the military camp commander's wife to have a miscarriage, the couple didn't sleep the whole night.
It was so panic-stricken and scary.
This couple can't even speak Mandarin.
After entering the room and seeing Jiang Ning lying on the bed, he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed to Jiang Ning.
But Jiang Ning was shocked.
"Sister Chunxia, stop them quickly."
“…Oh, okay.”
Wang Chunxia quickly stopped him.
But she was still a step slow.
The little girl's parents kowtowed to Jiang Ning several times.
"What are you doing? This is a new society, this kind of thing is not allowed. Hurry up! Are you doing this to give our sister Ning a bad reputation?"
Wang Chunxia almost couldn't stop it.
She hurriedly dissuaded him and looked at the old village chief.
The old village chief then said something to the little girl's parents, and finally stopped the ridiculous scene.
The old village chief looked at Jiang Ning and rubbed his hands nervously.
"Comrade Jiang, they are also frightened. You are the lover of Captain Qin, and the accident happened in our village. Our small village is really...really..."
The old village chief shook his head and sighed repeatedly.
Immediately following.
The old village chief took out a small bag.
"Comrade Jiang, this was prepared by the couple."
There were probably two kilograms of rice in that small pocket.
Even the rice was somewhat yellowish brown rice with an old color. It might have been stored at home for a year and people were reluctant to eat it.
But this time, the child in their family got into such a big trouble.
It almost killed someone.
These two kilograms of rice are the most valuable thing this poor family can afford.
The old village chief explained.
"Comrade Jiang, you may not like these things, but their family is poor and these are all they have. They said...if you are not satisfied, they can give the child to you! From now on, this child is yours, and you can ask her to do anything you want."
Jiang Ning originally thought that the old village chief and the little girl's parents were just here to apologize.
But after listening to these words.
Jiang Ning frowned when he heard this.
She frowned and questioned in a low voice.
"Village chief, who do you think we are? Do you think it's still the old times and you still want little girls to work like cows and horses, and be slaves? Is this something you, as a village chief, should say?"
The old village chief panicked.
He immediately shook his head and explained.
"Comrade Jiang, no no! That's absolutely not what we meant! This kind of thing is illegal now! This is not... there is really nothing we can do!"
The atmosphere was tense.
The old village chief wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The little girl's parents were also nervous and scared, and almost fell to their knees again because their legs went weak.
Jiang Ning asked back at this time.
"Did I say I would hold them accountable?"
The old village chief was stunned. "Comrade Jiang, do you mean... you won't pursue the matter?"
Jiang Ning didn't answer directly.
Her eyes moved away from everyone else and fell on a little girl who was cowering behind her parents.
"I just want to see her."
Jiang Ning wanted to meet the little girl.
Ever since she realized Tongtong was missing, the little girl had taken on a different meaning.
The accident happened because she was trying to save the little girl.
Tongtong disappeared in order to save her and the baby in her belly.
To a certain extent, it can also be said that Tongtong saved the little girl.
Jiang Ning had a complicated expression and stared at the little girl's face carefully with a faint gaze.
Is she... the continuation of Tongtong's life?
