Jiang Qing ignored Jiang Yinyin and said to Wang Sao, "You're going to cook for her later, right? I'll go with you to her place later."
Although Shen Mingzhi's child does resemble Jiang Shaochen, it's unreasonable for her to beat Jiang Yinyin in the street and extort her jewelry and money.
Furthermore, the Jiang family agreed to let her move out, not so that she could go out and find a man.
“Okay…” Wang’s wife originally wanted to come back and sound out the Jiang family’s opinion on behalf of Shen Mingzhi.
Who knew that Jiang Qing would actually come to see her in person.
She was very worried.
"Mom, I'm going too! She took all my jewelry, I have to go get it back!" Jiang Yinyin immediately said.
"You can go, but watch your words when you get there. Don't embarrass the Jiang family," Jiang Qing warned her while eating.
Jiang Yinyin chuckled, "I'll listen to my mom."
After finishing her meal, Jiang Qing went to the Shen family's courtyard house with Wang Sao.
Standing at the door, she looked around the house.
Jiang Yinyin, standing to the side, said sarcastically, "I'm really curious how she has the money to live in a courtyard house. Even if West Street isn't very lively, the rent for a courtyard house isn't cheap."
Aunt Wang didn't say anything, she just knocked on the door.
Wang Wu opened the door, and Wang's wife immediately said, "This is an acquaintance of our young lady, she came to take a look."
After saying that, Jiang Qing went inside first.
Jiang Yinyin followed her, her voice full of anger, "And what about the guards? Where did she get the money? Did she steal it from our house when she left?"
"Shut up!" Jiang Qing glared at her.
Jiang Yinyin was unconvinced, but she didn't keep going on and on.
Jiang Qing followed Wang Sao to the smallest attic. The dampness and heat inside made her raise her hand to fan her nose.
This environment is more than ten times worse than that of the Chiang family.
Shen Mingzhi was sitting at the only square table, writing something in a small notebook. When she looked up and saw Jiang Qing and Jiang Yinyin, she closed the notebook, and the ease on her face vanished instantly. "Mrs. Jiang is here for her jewelry and money?"
Jiang Qing, having been a wife herself, felt a strange discomfort upon seeing her like this.
She said she wanted to move out, and she meant living in a place like this? Jiang Qing originally thought that Shen Mingzhi went to the Jiang family to live a better life, but seeing that she could even live in a place like this, Jiang Qing's opinion of her changed a bit.
But since she had extorted so much money from Yinyin, she was indeed in the wrong, so she said, "You sell some low-quality things, and Yinyin helps you destroy them. That's helping you, but if it causes problems for the child, you'll go to jail."
“Whether I’m considered mainstream or not isn’t up to you to decide, is it? Besides, I’ve already left the Jiang family. Whatever I sell or do has nothing to do with your Jiang family. I’ve never told anyone that I’m a member of the Jiang family. Why does Miss Jiang have to push me to my death?” Shen Mingzhi said calmly and gently.
Jiang Qing felt that what she said made sense, so she didn't reply.
Seeing that she remained silent, Shen Mingzhi continued, "Mrs. Jiang, you also have children, and you know very well how difficult it is to raise two children. Your daughter has no evidence whatsoever, yet she came to my place of business and accused me of selling counterfeit medicine, slandering me and cutting off my and my children's livelihood. As the saying goes, destroying someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. My resistance and demanding compensation from her is a very reasonable request, isn't it?"
Jiang Qing calmed down, but still started calculating the bill with her, "A bottle of medicine and a bag of fever-reducing patches cost one cent. Ten bottles plus ten bags of fever-reducing patches only cost one dollar. One hundred bottles cost ten dollars. One thousand bottles only cost one hundred dollars. Do you have one thousand bottles?"
"Mrs. Jiang, that's too unfair. I spend all day digging for herbs, doesn't that count as money? I asked people to collect these bottles and jars, and even had bags made to hold the medicine. I also brewed the medicine and made fever-reducing patches. Doesn't that take any time? Did they just appear out of thin air?" Shen Mingzhi retorted.
Jiang Yinyin couldn't stand it anymore. She stepped forward, pointed at Shen Mingzhi's face, and asked, "How much is your time worth?! And who knows if your medicine even works? That pretty boy today must be your lover, working with you to cheat me out of my money! Shameless, give me back my money!"
Speaking of gigolos, Jiang Qing's face turned cold as she recalled Jiang Shao Chen's instructions before he left.
Ultimately, her child is still Jiang Shaochen's. Before the matter between the Jiang family and her is resolved, Shen Mingzhi still needs to be careful about her interactions with men and women.
After all, she has two children; she's not a single, unmarried woman.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qing said with a somewhat forceful tone, "If you move out, our Jiang family doesn't want to get involved with you, but your marriage application with my son is still on file. It doesn't matter if you ruin your own reputation, but it will implicate my son, so don't get so close to other men."
Shen Mingzhi was so angry at her request that she laughed. "Mrs. Jiang means that your son agrees to marry me, then breaks off the engagement because of pressure from the Song family, and then runs away on the pretext of a mission, and I have to stay here and prevent him from having any contact with other men for the sake of his reputation?"
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Qing was instantly enraged.
Her initial slight change in opinion of her vanished instantly. She quickly went inside and slapped Shen Mingzhi hard across the face. "What are you? Throwing mud at my son! If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have been transferred! Our Jiang family treats you well, and yet you come here spouting nonsense and slandering his character!"
Shen Mingzhi was stunned by the beating.
Jiang Yinyin hid behind, her face full of satisfaction.
Serves her right! Let her seduce men everywhere. If she can't have someone, then Shen Mingzhi shouldn't even think about being with that person!
Aunt Wang was picking vegetables at the door when she heard arguing coming from inside the house, so she quickly came over to check.
