Chapter 257 This is fate!
The third son's wife, Silang and Wulang had already disappeared into the crowd, for fear that they would be caught.
Mrs. Wang Liu was so scared that she hid behind Old Man Wang.
Old Man Wang couldn't stand it anymore and said in a panic, "Don't bother the official, we don't want it anymore, let's go, let's go..."
Jiang Lianzhu stopped him, "Are you not going to divide the inheritance between your son Wang Laowu and you? Why don't you think about it again and talk to the official about it? What if I can let some of it slip through my fingers?"
Old Man Wang and the others didn't even look back and slipped away in panic.
Everyone laughed.
Three snow wolves were howling wildly behind them, as if they were mocking them.
After Old Wang's family left, Jiang Lianzhu invited the official in for a cup of tea before sending them away.
The family closed the door. Jiang Chengshi did not show up just now because she was afraid that the Wang family would find fault with her and say something bad about Jiang Lianzhu. It was not that she was afraid of the Wang family, but she was not the type to scold people. She was not as shameless as the Wang family and would make others laugh at her.
"This old Wang family is really troublesome. Zhu'er, it's all thanks to you, otherwise, others really can't get any benefits from their name."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "I'm here specifically to defeat them. No matter how they try, they won't succeed. Forget it. I won't talk about them anymore. They are shameless people. There's no point in talking too much. Let them do whatever they want. Dabao, Erbao, how did you do in your exams?"
Dabao took out his report card with a smile.
Jiang Lianzhu took it and looked at it. "Wow, not bad! Two A-level students. They just got promoted to the ground level class and they were able to get into the A-level class. That's impressive. Where's Erbao?"
Erbao coughed and said a little embarrassedly, "Mom, I didn't do as well as my brother in the exam. I only got two B-level scores."
Jiang Lianzhu touched his head and said, "That's good too. I thought you were going to get two C-grades for me, hahaha. Where's the little fat guy?"
The little fat boy felt even more embarrassed, "I'm just a little bit worse than my brother Yue."
Nanbao laughed heartily, "My brother is still the best. Are you ashamed, little fatty? Are you ashamed?"
The little fat boy didn't expect that the first person to look down on him was Nanbao. If it was someone else, he would have fought back.
Nanbao was helpless. "Shame on you. Next time, I'll try to do better on the test."
Jiang Chengshi beside her also laughed.
It’s the little ones who can heal the troubled mood.
Jiang Lianzhu asked the little fat boy, "It's winter vacation now. Are you going back to your hometown in the county? Or do you have any other plans? We are going back to the countryside today."
What this means is that if you come here tomorrow you won’t be able to make a living.
The little fat man didn't care. "Of course I have plans! It's not even the New Year yet, why would I go back to my hometown in the county? I heard from my brother Yue that Aunt Jiang, your house in the countryside is really big and it's all empty, so it can accommodate a lot of people. I was thinking, I haven't been to the countryside to play yet, can you take me back with you..."
Jiang Lianzhu pondered, "This... isn't a good idea, is it? You're on winter vacation, and if you don't go home, won't your family be worried?"
"My father is not at home. If I go back, I will be bullied. Aunt Jiang, please be kind and let me pay more grain. Let me stay until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and then I will go home. My brother Yue said that catching shrimps in the river and digging bird nests in the mountains are all fun, but I have never tried them."
The little fat boy looked at Jiang Lianzhu with a pair of pleading eyes.
"Then you must be obedient and not do anything dangerous. You don't have to hand over the food, you've already paid enough."
After all, I'm raising cubs. I already have three, so one more doesn't matter.
This little fat boy is quite pitiful. It has been so long, and he hasn't seen any elders from his family come to see him. Since he gets along well with Erbao and the others, it's good to have more friends.
When the little fat boy heard this, he jumped for joy.
"My Aunt Jiang is so nice!! I love my Aunt Jiang the most."
The little fat boy sighed again. Although they both had stepmothers, his brother Yue’s stepmother was just so good, while his stepmother was hard to describe.
It’s all fate!
Jiang Lianzhu moved as soon as she said she would. She drove a horse-drawn carriage and took the packed things to Wangjia Village twice. Then, she took the whole family back to the village in the last carriage.
When the people in Wangjia Village heard that Jiang Lianzhu and her family had returned, every household came to greet them.
It has been two days now, and everyone in the village has learned about the divorce between Jiang Lianzhu and Wang Laowu. Everyone scolds Wang Laowu for being heartless and not wanting such a good woman like Jiang, but running away with a prostitute.
"Sister Jiang, if you need any hard work at home in the future, just tell us and all the strong laborers in our village will help you. Don't be polite."
"Yes, yes, yes. Even without him, Wang Laowu, we can still live the same life."
Jiang Lianzhu bowed, "Thank you all for your kindness, I appreciate it. Please don't mention him in front of me anymore. Thank you everyone."
She seemed unwilling to talk more, so everyone stopped talking and dispersed.
Grandma Lu and her family were very enthusiastic. They helped Jiang Lianzhu clean the house and organize things. Erya's mother was also there. Erya was very hardworking.
The two little girls, San Ya and Siya, had played happily with Nanbao last time. This time, when they saw Nanbao coming back, they followed her like little followers.
Normally, the room is cleaned by Erya and the others, so it is very clean and there is no dust.
Just clean and tidy up and everything will be sorted out.
Jiang Lianzhu sleeps in the master bedroom, Nanbao and Jiang Cheng sleep in the second bedroom, Dabao sleeps in the side room, and Erbao and the fat boy share a side room.
The beds were all made, and since the weather was cold, a kang was heated in every room.
There were two pots of charcoal fire burning in the main room, making it warm.
The children gathered together. There were four little carrot heads from the Jiang family, plus Erya and her three sisters, seven in total. There were also more than a dozen grandchildren from Grandma Galu's family. It was really lively.
Nanbao took out the snacks she brought back from town and shared them with everyone.
The girls played tumble rope and hopscotch together, while the boys played chess and cards together.
On the first day back home, Jiang Lianzhu invited Grandma Lu and Erya's mother and the others to have dinner together. She took out rice, flour, meat and vegetables and made a sumptuous home-cooked meal.
Lively and lively, warm house.
During the meal, Jiang Lianzhu brought up the issue of charcoal. "It's much colder in the countryside than in town. We're going to live there until next year, so we need to buy more charcoal. I wonder if there's anyone in the village who sells charcoal? How much is it per pound? It would be great if they could send some to our house."
Grandma Lu's son, Old Master Lu, said, "We don't have any in our village, but the ones in the neighboring villages do. The quality of the charcoal varies, and the prices are all different. It depends on which kind you want. The inferior ones can still keep you warm, but they're choking. The charcoal from different trees has different smells..."
