The villagers watching also watched the confrontation between the Jiang siblings with expressions of amusement. It's not surprising that the second brother of the Jiang family thought that way; sometimes the villagers would murmur about it behind his back.
However, this way of thinking doesn't make sense. If he really left something behind, it's impossible that it would have taken more than ten years for Old Master Jiang's family to recover!
If they had a treasure, they would have made a fortune long ago. The village is only so big; it can't be kept secret forever!
Of course, these are all just guesses. That's how people are; they believe whatever they hear.
"Nonsense! When the old man died, you personally turned the house upside down. Didn't you pocket all the good stuff?"
When Liu saw the people who came, she was extremely displeased. When her parents-in-law were alive, she had to put up with their tempers for the sake of the bigger picture and to comfort them!
"When we men are talking, it's none of your business to interrupt!"
Jiang Lao Er was stubborn and never paid any attention to his sister-in-law, so he retorted directly.
"Master, you're not dead yet! Say something! Am I an outsider? Or is this bastard on the ground an outsider?!"
Liu was furious. She was happy that her sister-in-law had come home, but this whole thing was so annoying!
"Of course, my wife is my family. That scoundrel didn't treat us like brothers and sisters-in-law when we divided the family property. We've severed ties with him long ago. He's the outsider!"
Jiang Nian naturally sided with his wife, and not only that, his gaze also fell on several older people.
This statement not only expresses an attitude but also serves as a reminder to everyone, especially the elderly, that brothers should separate their households and sever ties as soon as possible!
"You think you can just dump me now that you're rich? No way!"
Jiang Xu retreated in a panic, and only after he was safe did he continue to hurl threats viciously.
Little did he know that his shameless behavior was not only disgusting, but also despicable and contemptible!
"Back then, you wanted the family property, the old house, and the land. You used any means necessary to get these things. What, do you want to go back on your word now?"
I'm telling you, not a chance!
Jiang Nian sneered. Back when his family was kicked out, they were penniless and poor for years before they finally recovered…
Looking at his older brother's fierce eyes, Jiang Xu couldn't help but feel guilty.
Yes, he threatened his older brother back then, saying that unless he left all the family's belongings to him, he would tear up their graves and bury them there...
With so many people around, how could he dare to utter such treasonous words? He would be drowned in spittle!
"Jiang Xu, you heartless bastard, if you don't get out of here, I'll expose everything you said and did back then!"
Anyway, we've got nothing to lose, so what about reputation? If anyone's reputation's going to be ruined, it'll be yours!
Liu left at some point, and when she returned, she brought a basin of cold water. After speaking, she splashed the water out with a splash!
"ah--"
The cool water seeped into my neck, and a chill began to creep up from my feet.
Jiang Xu was intimidated and actually slunk away with his wood-chopping knife...
The villagers had only heard half of the excitement, and their hearts were itching to hear more.
"Everyone, you can leave now."
Jiang Nian was too lazy to say too much; it was better to keep his family's shameful affairs buried.
Parents are gone, dust to dust, ashes to ashes. This is all their children can do for them...
Back inside, surrounded by family, Liu composed herself, brought out some melon seeds and snacks, gestured for her daughter to close the door, and then revealed the hidden story of how her family had been forced to leave with nothing years ago...
Upon hearing the hidden story, Jiang Yue didn't know how to feel.
People die for wealth, birds die for food; Jiang Xu and his wife were too "clever" in their scheming!
If she hadn't transmigrated into the book, following the original plot, the original owner of this body had been wealthy because of her most beloved son, but after her tragic end, her family might have also been implicated, right?
The thought that even married daughters can be divorced by their husbands and meet tragic ends suggests that even if the bride's family falls out with her husband, she'll likely be doomed.
No matter how much Jiang Xu tries to cause trouble, his fate will ultimately be unpleasant.
Now that she has changed the course of the plot, she has inadvertently altered the fate of Jiang Xu's family, leading them to now see their brother and sister-in-law's family doing well and are thinking of taking advantage of them...
"Sister, don't be angry. At least our parents are buried together now. It must be because they are watching over us from heaven, protecting our descendants. Look, our lives are getting better. As for that unfilial son, just wait and see, he will definitely get his comeuppance!"
While persuading the girl, Jiang Nian peeled peanuts. After peeling them, he rubbed off the pink skins, blew them off, and handed them to his wife.
He's made his wife suffer all these years!
"Yes, brother is right. Our parents are watching from heaven. The wicked will be punished by the wicked!"
Jiang Yue echoed, saying that she understood the principle that "the net of heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it."
However, simply giving in will only cause pain to loved ones and joy to enemies!
A mere basin of cold water is far too lenient on Jiang Xu!
While she was lost in thought, she didn't notice that her two sons were watching her closely, observing her expression...
Jiang Yue ate dinner early and, using the excuse that she hadn't been back to the village for many years, decided to take a stroll around and digest her food.
There was nothing wrong with Jiang Nian and his wife's behavior. After confirming that their family members didn't need to accompany her, they let the girl do as she pleased.
Jiang Yue went out alone, but ended up with a bunch of little tails following her.
My eldest nephew didn't say anything, but even my youngest nephew and my two rascals came along.
"Mom, what do you want to do? Let's do it together!"
Qingsong winked and made a face, speaking his mind directly.
No one knows a mother better than her son, and these brothers certainly didn't think their mother was someone who would suffer in silence.
The Jiang brothers, Lei and Dian, had long disliked their second uncle's family. Oh no, apart from their eldest sister, the rest of the family was no good either!
They originally planned to smash their second uncle's windows that night, but then their cousins came looking for them...
Oh ho~
My aunt is sneaking around making excuses to go out; why don't we go together?
Jiang Yue covered her forehead. Just what she feared had come true. Had her image of a calm, composed, elegant, and self-possessed elder been completely shattered?
Without time to think, she adjusted her strategy. Since these kids were all intent on causing trouble, then—
Let's go together!
In a secluded corner, Jiang Yue distributed the sleeping potion, itching powder, chili water, diarrhea medicine, and baldness cream that she had prepared to the four boys.
Anyway, it's getting dark, so everyone will stay indoors.
When it's dark under the lamp, and you're unconscious and silent, doing something will make things much easier!
The Jiang brothers knew the terrain best, and they avoided the villagers' paths, making them extremely well-hidden!
The wall around Jiang Xu's house is very low; you can easily climb over it!
Just then, a soup was simmering in the kitchen. Jiang Lei tiptoed in, slipped on some sleeping potion, and hid for a short while. Then, he heard his second aunt come in, cursing and swearing.
"That good-for-nothing, I wonder where he's gone off to, he still hasn't come back!"
"Hmph, this meat porridge smells so good, the three of us will be satisfied with just a full meal!"
