Just then, Madam Lu finished her work and returned to the main room.
She saw Jiang Wanwan sitting on a long bench by the door. "Wanwan, why are you sitting here? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold? Come in and sit down."
“Mom, I’m not cold. I like sitting here watching the rain,” Jiang Wanwan said.
Then, she tugged at Lu's sleeve, signaling Lu to bend down and come closer. Lu, seeing her daughter's mysterious look, still leaned in to listen.
Jiang Wanwan lowered her voice and whispered, "Mother, do you remember which year Uncle was injured?"
Madam Lu lowered her eyes, looking at Jiang Wanwan with surprise. "Wanwan, how did you know about this?"
Jiang Wanwan casually made up a lie, "Hehehe, Wan'er told me."
Madam Lu understood. "No wonder. Let your mother think about it carefully."
She frowned, deep in thought, before finally speaking, "It seems to be the tenth year of Zhengyuan. The year you were born."
Jiang Wanwan nodded, looking at Madam Lu with her bright, almond-shaped eyes, and continued to ask, "What about Second Uncle? Was the accusation that he embezzled money after I was born also something that happened after I was born?"
“Yes. The Jiang family only started to decline around the time you were born. Otherwise, given our past prosperity, our Jiang family would have been quite prominent in the village. Why would we be living in a leaky thatched hut?” Madam Lu said, her expression sorrowful, looking at Jiang Wanwan with a face full of guilt.
Sigh, it's really unfair to make my daughter live in a leaky house.
Who knew the rain would be so heavy? The roof was repaired yesterday, but it still leaked.
Jiang Wanwan understood instantly.
Just as the bald-headed monk said, Su Wan'er was a jinx, while she was a lucky star!
So, after she returned to the Jiang family, will the Jiang family no longer be so unlucky?
"The villagers say that the Jiang family's decline began after you were born. Everyone says you were cursed by a jinx, a calamity that descended upon the Jiang family," Jiang Xun said, overhearing the mother and daughter's conversation.
Jiang Wanwan raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Jiang Xun glaring at her angrily, his eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
Before Jiang Wanwan could retort, Madam Lu looked at Jiang Xun reproachfully, her eyes stern. "Jiang Xun, what nonsense are you spouting! You believe what the villagers are saying!"
The eldest son was still led astray by that girl Su Wan'er.
Su Wan'er usually encouraged Jiang Xun to take the lead and get food from Old Lady Jiang. Little did she know that he was always the one taking the blame, while Su Wan'er reaped the benefits from behind the scenes.
Fortunately, Su Wan'er has returned to the General's Mansion, and Wanwan is not like Su Wan'er. Otherwise, if his eldest son continues to be deceived by Su Wan'er, he would have to thank Su Wan'er when he buries him!
"That's right, Jiang Xun, what nonsense are you spouting? Even if someone is a jinx, it's Su Wan'er who's a jinx, not Wanwan. Wanwan was raised in the Su family back then, not the Jiang family." Jiang He couldn't stand seeing his sweet, soft, and pretty little sister being bullied by Jiang Xun, so he couldn't help but chime in with a few words.
He really likes this new little sister; she even served him an egg at dinner last night.
It was something that had never happened before, as she had never done it before, to distribute all the remaining eggs on the table to everyone, despite her biased and disrespectful grandmother's glare.
If it weren't for the new sister, most of the remaining eggs would have ended up in the second wife's belly.
Jiang He greatly admired his new sister. He had a gut feeling that if he followed her, he would be set for life!
As the eldest brother, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but speak up for his new sister, "That's right, Jiang Xun, you can't take your anger out on your younger sister just because you're close to Wan'er and can't bear to part with her."
He adores his new sister.
She was fair-skinned and beautiful, making him want to protect her.
Most importantly, the new girl put a piece of egg on his plate for dinner yesterday!
He decided that from now on he would follow the new girl and there would be an endless supply of eggs!
