Chapter 367: Even if it doesn’t work, it’s still from my stomach
They continued their journey back to the post station.
Jiang Lianzhu and her companions' carriage had gone a long way away, but the crowd of onlookers lingered for a long time.
There was a lot of discussion.
"So she's a married woman. No wonder she doesn't care about her brothers, parents, or anything like that..."
"What do you know? It's not just that. Look at those two beggars. They're not good people. They're full of nonsense. The girl said they set fire to her house and wanted to burn her mother to death. What kind of brother would do such a thing as murder and arson to his sister? Is he still a human being?"
"That's true. Every family has its own problems. This young lady looks righteous, but these two beggar brothers have shifty eyes. I still believe what the young lady says. And those officers are from the Six Gates. They won't arrest the wrong person!"
"But no matter what, he's still my biological brother and father, and my biological father is paralyzed in bed. Doing this is too heartless..."
…
There was an old woman in the crowd who was carrying a basket to buy things. She looked in the direction of the carriage that Jiang Lianzhu and the others had left. Dabao's appearance shocked her so much that she stood there for a long time.
Afterwards, she looked again and again at Jiang Dalang and Jiang Erlang who were being escorted in the back of the carriage.
Then he entered the crowd with a complicated expression and took a shortcut back to the post station.
***
Jiang Cheng was in the kitchen, preparing to roast yellow croaker.
Suddenly, they found that they were missing the most important seasoning, so Nanny Cheng went out the back door to buy it, saying that she would be back soon. So, Jiang Cheng waited at the door.
Not long after, Nanny Cheng returned.
"Did you buy it?"
Nanny Cheng's face was gloomy and cold. "I bought it."
Jiang Cheng looked at her expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Nanny Cheng wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she pulled Jiang Cheng to the small side room next door to talk.
"I just saw your daughter and your grandson on the street..."
The two of them had been chatting for a whole day and had become very familiar with each other. Both sides knew a little about each other's family background.
Nanny Cheng has no children, no relatives, and is an old and lonely woman.
Jiang Cheng has a daughter and three grandsons. Her daughter is named Jiang Lianzhu, and her three grandsons are named Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaonanbao. This trip is to the capital.
In fact, when she delivered food to them yesterday, she had seen Jiang Lianzhu and the others from a distance outside the door, but today she saw them again up close.
Seeing Jiang Chengshi's grandson named Dabao up close...
Nanny Cheng's heart was beating fast.
Jiang Chengshi didn't think too much about it. She replied, "Are they coming back soon? We need to go cook the fish quickly."
Nanny Cheng didn't move, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
After a while, she whispered, "Do you still have two older sons? Just now, two beggars stopped your daughter and grandson on the street, claiming to be her brothers and wanting to recognize your daughter. They seemed to want to come back with your daughter, and they also said that their father, Jiang Qingcai, is now paralyzed and has a hard time..."
Jiang Cheng was suddenly struck by lightning.
Her face was pale and her voice was trembling. "Yes, where are they? Did they come back with our Zhu'er?"
Matron Cheng said, "Your daughter said they had committed murder and arson before, and the police arrested them and put them in jail..."
At this moment, Jiang Cheng's body shook and she almost fainted.
Nanny Cheng quickly supported her and said, "How, how could this happen..."
Tears fell down.
Matron Cheng asked, "Did you really commit murder or arson? Or is it fabricated? Do you not want to care about your family anymore? But I don't think your daughter is the kind of person without conscience. You live well with her..."
These words actually go a bit beyond the scope of what I said.
How could you dare to comment on other people's family affairs when you just met your friend, who is just a servant? After all, Jiang Cheng and Jiang Lianzhu are distinguished guests of the post station.
But Jiang Cheng realized it later and didn't realize it. She always felt that this new old sister got along very well with her.
I don't feel anything is wrong.
Jiang Cheng's eyes moistened, her heart filled with bitter tears. "Sister Cheng, you know, our family's situation is really difficult. We are embarrassed to tell others. My daughter Jiang Lianzhu is the best daughter in the world. She is right. It is my two sons who are not good enough, and my husband is even more of a bastard. I didn't tell you so much before. I only said that I have a daughter and live with her. In fact, it is my husband and two sons who make me speechless..."
Nanny Cheng handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Don't worry, tell me slowly. I'll listen and see if I can give you some advice or something."
This sister role is already very immersive.
Jiang Chengshi did not hide anything and told them all about their family affairs.
Nanny Cheng had a deeper understanding of Jiang Lianzhu.
In fact, when she was watching the fun in the crowd before, she was somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Lianzhu.
How can you treat your relatives like this?
Unexpectedly, this relative is like a jackal, tiger or leopard...
If it were her, she wouldn't necessarily do any better than her. How could her brother-in-law be willing to burn her own mother to death just to ask her for money? This is simply worse than a beast.
Fortunately, Jiang Lianzhu took in Jiang Cheng, cured her illness, and was willing to support her elderly mother regardless of worldly opinions.
But why are they going to the capital...?
Nanny Cheng thought of Dabao...she felt mixed emotions.
Forget it, I can’t think about it too much.
Matron Cheng said, "So, Doctor Jiang is kindhearted. He never reported your eldest and second sons to the police before. Why did he arrest them this time?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned. She was simple-minded and had never thought about this matter.
"I don't know! Maybe the police are nearby? Would it be easier to report it?"
Liao Jiu looks the same as Wang Laowu before, and his voice is almost the same, but he is the governor of the Six Gates, a high-ranking official...
As for why Liao Jiu, a high-ranking official, wanted to take Jiang Lianzhu and the others to the capital, she couldn't remember. He said that they were going to be a doctor in Liushenmen, and Dabao went to the capital so that he could study. But that didn't make sense. Dabao had just taken the examination for the title of Tongsheng a few days ago, and the results hadn't even come out yet. Why would he go without waiting for the results?
Nanny Cheng didn't force her. "It's okay if they don't know. The children are grown up and have their own reasons for doing things. We are old people, so we can just turn a blind eye. Doctor Jiang is a good man and he won't harm your mother anyway."
Jiang Cheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I think so too. My daughter Zhu'er is very filial to me, I don't doubt her on that point. I'm just worried about those two unfinished sons. Even if they are not successful, they still came out of my belly..."
Are they going to spend their whole lives in jail?
