The crowd stopped behind Grandmother Jia, looking around anxiously.
[Isn't Jia She Jia Mu's son? Why didn't he go in even after hearing his son's screams?]
What are you still waiting for at the door? I'm getting so impatient!
Wang Xifeng had Jia She tied up inside, gagged with a strip of cloth, and just as things calmed down, she heard a familiar voice. She immediately stood up and quickly walked out. Sure enough, it was Madam Lin!
"old lady!"
When Wang Xifeng greeted the old lady, she noticed that the old lady looked unwell and offered to help her back to Rongqing Hall.
Grandmother Jia didn't leave, her face grim. "What happened!"
"I've only been gone for four or five days, and the house is already in chaos? What... what's going on?!"
Wang Xifeng wasn't annoyed. She thought to herself that life at home wasn't exactly peaceful either; it's just that you, sir, didn't want to know.
"Grandma, you're innocent! Something terrible has really happened in the family these past few days. The master... he... oh, something terrible has happened!"
[Looking at Feng's eyes, it doesn't seem like something serious has happened; it's more like she's gloating?]
Wang Xifeng: You're right, but don't say it again next time, I'm afraid others will misunderstand.
"W-what happened? What's wrong with the boss? Does he need a master to take a look?"
"Absolutely not, Madam! You'll know once you go in and see for yourself." Wang Xifeng spoke mysteriously, but Grandmother Jia hesitated.
Why is the old lady acting so timidly? Is she afraid of some infectious disease? Is she worried about catching it at her age?
[This...this is just too much! Feng didn't say it was an infectious disease. Her own son is inside! And she's not even going in?]
If it were truly an infectious disease, would I, Feng, still be standing here?
[What a coward, eating coal like a tortoise! What a heartless old bastard! Pah!]
Wang Xifeng laughed inwardly. That's right. If the master had any infectious disease, she would have run away long ago. It's a shame that the old lady said she would treat all the children equally, but now she treats her sons differently. What about putting yourself in someone else's shoes?
If this were Baoyu, he would have gone in and cried out for his beloved child long ago.
[This is so frustrating, everyone! What should we do? I want to go in and see what's going on, but the girl's mom won't let me. Isn't that a shame?]
Wang Xifeng: Mrs. Lin, don't be anxious. If you want to know anything, I'll tell you everything in a moment.
The three sisters noticed Grandmother Jia's hesitation, but dared not say anything, so they kept their heads down and remained silent.
When Grandmother Jia saw that everyone was staring at her silently, she realized that she had misspoke. Her heart pounded with anxiety. What would happen to her Baoyu if it really was an infectious disease?
"ah!"
Then another scream came from inside, startling Grandmother Jia so much that she didn't know whether to go in or go out. Wang Xifeng, seeing that Shen Ajiao wanted to see the commotion, hurriedly tried to lead Grandmother Jia inside. Grandmother Jia stepped aside, and Wang Xifeng directly took Shen Ajiao's hand.
The two exchanged a glance, confirming that they were the right person.
【That's brilliant!】
Without saying a word, the two went inside.
He shouted as he walked, "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on people! You idiots."
Grandmother Jia hesitated, then looked at Lin Daiyu and the three sisters and said, "You wait outside, don't go in."
Lin Daiyu: She knew it; she was sure she wouldn't get a share.
Yingchun wasn't afraid and stepped forward, saying, "Grandma, I'll go in and take a look."
Grandmother Jia nodded. This is someone else's own daughter; we should go in and see her.
So he took Yingchun inside as well.
Shen Ajiao asked quietly, "What's wrong? Is it really something?"
"Mrs. Lin is very resourceful; she must have heard that the master has become addicted to hemp."
[Hemp? Is it marijuana?]
No wonder Jia She always looks so listless; it turns out he's caught this!
Who tricked me?
Wang Xifeng: Mrs. Lin is indeed very knowledgeable and experienced. What should we do if we are a little scared?
"Everyone found out yesterday that the master had a craving for hemp, but the maid accidentally scattered the hemp, which caused him to go crazy. He accidentally hit the first wife, and that's how the whole thing started. Sigh!"
Oh my, what a bunch of bastards climbing over walls! Nobody's better than anyone else.
It's like a dung beetle falling into a latrine and finding its home.
[Jia She is probably finished.]
Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and remained silent, leading Shen Ajiao into the room.
The room was a complete mess; everything that could be smashed had been smashed. Jia She was tied to a bench with ropes, and the gag he had used to gag him was lying to the side.
No wonder there were so many wailing and howling.
When Shen Ajiao entered, she saw Jia She with his buttocks pinned to a stool, jumping around the room, his face ashen, his hands clenched into claws, and muttering curses.
"Give it to me, give it to me now, you heartless bunch! Once I'm better, I'll give it all to you to buy."
Then she started pleading incessantly.
"Ah, please, please, give me a little bit, just a little bit, really, whoever gives me a little bit, I'll make him my second wife!"
...
[My God, is this Jia She?]
Why are you jumping around like a monkey?
Wang Xifeng: A monkey? It really does look like one.
[We absolutely cannot give this to him. He doesn't seem to have been infected for long; he should be able to quit. Once you get even a little bit of this stuff, it's a real hassle.]
If he breaks the vow, even a fortune wouldn't be enough for him to indulge in.
Does the Jia family really have that much money?
Wang Xifeng frowned deeply. She had no money. Next time, she shouldn't say he looked like a monkey; Sun Wukong wouldn't like that.
When Grandmother Jia entered, she saw Jia She lying exhausted on the ground, wailing. She didn't dare to go forward. "What happened? Why is he tied up?"
"Hurry up and untie it! What are you doing?!"
"You mustn't do that, old lady."
