Chapter 377: You must be thinking about our baby
Jiang Erlang couldn't believe it. "She ran away? She abandoned us and ran to the capital? Mother! Doesn't she even want you anymore?"
Jiang Dalang was more decisive. "How much silver did she leave for us? She must have made sure we could take care of our family!"
Jiang Chengshi had been warned by Jiang Lianzhu, and she hesitated, "You gave me ten taels of silver for travel expenses... I thought ten taels was enough for our family's travel expenses..."
Jiang Dalang jumped up and screamed, "What? Just ten taels of silver? She's the wife of a high-ranking official. Her high-ranking official husband was found for her by our father. Otherwise, how could she have such a great blessing?"
Jiang Cheng was confused. "What do you mean by 'high-ranking official husband'? Your sister's husband, Wang Laowu, ran off with another woman. Your sister has a hard time raising three children alone. It's not as glamorous as you imagine. Don't always focus on your sister."
"Mom, are you blind? Isn't that Wang Laowu? Do you think we've never seen Wang Laowu before? He's wearing a new outfit now, and you're trying to trick us? He's obviously rich!"
Jiang Cheng understood. "You're talking about Governor Liao of the Six Gates. He's just a guy who looks a bit like Wang Laowu. The real Wang Laowu ran off with a wild woman. You've got it wrong. I made a mistake at first too, but later I realized there are people who look so much like him... Governor Liao comes from a high-class family, how could he be Wang Laowu? Stop talking now! Be careful if someone hears you and gets you into trouble again!"
When Jiang Dalang and his companions heard Governor Liao's words, they were stunned.
They wandered around so many places, and although they didn't make any money, they did gain a lot of experience.
Everyone knows that the Six Gates are famous, and everyone knows that there is a divine judge named Governor Liao inside the Six Gates.
They believed that Jiang Cheng was not the kind of person who would lie.
"Ah? Really?"
"I was wondering what kind of luck Jiang Lianzhu had to marry a high-ranking official! Turns out it was all a misunderstanding! Then why are they together?"
Jiang Chengshi explained, "Because Zhu'er is a doctor, she opened a clinic in Shili Town and cured many people. Everyone said she was a miracle doctor. Maybe the officials of the Six Gates heard about it and wanted to invite her to the capital to treat patients. Zhu'er said there were more schools in the capital and the teaching was better, so she went..."
Jiang Dalang was skeptical. "She can heal illnesses? When did she study medicine? And there's still a miracle doctor alive? Mother, are you crazy?"
Jiang Cheng then recounted the story of the Jiang Clinic in Shili Town.
Jiang Erlang also recalled, "The last time that constable arrested us, he did seem to call Jiang Lianzhu "Doctor Jiang." Mother, she's completely changed since she got married. She knows everything. You've lived with her for so long. Have you sensed any changes in her? Could she have been switched?"
Jiang Cheng said angrily, "She is my Zhu'er! Don't I know that? My Zhu'er has become successful. Don't talk nonsense. Learn from Zhu'er in the future. Mother doesn't expect you to be as capable as her. It's enough for you to be able to support yourself..."
Jiang Qingcai lay on the ground coughing violently, interrupting Jiang Chengshi's words, "She really can open a clinic, then why didn't she treat my leg? She didn't even look at me?"
Jiang Cheng retorted to him, "That depends on what you have done. It's retribution, you deserve it!"
The family cursed at each other for a few more times before they completely let go of the idea.
Jiang Lianzhu really didn't care about them anymore and went to the capital.
She is not the wife of a high-ranking official. If they go to the capital, they will not enjoy any great blessings or get any good things. They will have to be humble. After some consideration, they decided to go back to their hometown first. Life outside is too unhappy and too tiring.
If you can control Jiang Chengshi, you will definitely have a meal.

Boats come and go on the river, and the weather is sunny and windy. Sometimes when you sail through the wide river, you can't see the end of it. Sometimes when you sail through the narrow river, there are only a few boats lined up side by side. There are towering mountains on both sides, the cries of monkeys, and the red rhododendrons, which make people feel relaxed and happy.
Nanny Cheng and Jiang Lianzhu and the others were on the same boat. In the past few days, it was Nanny Cheng who cooked most of the meals for Jiang Lianzhu and the others.
Jiang Lianzhu stopped her from doing it.
There was a special cook on the boat, and Nanny Cheng said that she had nothing to do anyway, so she insisted on cooking for them herself.
I also specially asked Dabao and Erbao what they like to eat, and cooked whatever they like. My cooking skills are really good.
Originally, Dabao and Erbao were somewhat resistant to the new Nanny Cheng. They didn't understand why their mother would accept a strange Nanny as a servant at this time. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this.
Later, I heard from Nanbao that it was a new nanny friend that Jiang Cheng had made. In addition, Nanny Cheng's cooking skills were indeed good, and the way this nanny interacted with others made them feel very comfortable. She did not deliberately approach or curry favor with them, which would make people feel annoying. Instead, she always paid attention to their needs and served them attentively.
Then, they gradually got used to the presence of this nanny.
It just made up for the discomfort of Jiang Cheng's absence.
After Nanbao got on the boat, she felt a little drowsy. She was a little seasick, but no one else was. Fortunately, Jiang Lianzhu had seasickness medicine, so it was not a big deal, but she was definitely not as energetic as normal.
Aunt Cheng took special care of her diet. Aunt Cheng's handicrafts were also quite good. She made some stuffed toys for Nanbao, such as little rabbits, little tigers, little chickens, and little lambs. She let her play with the toys to distract her attention from seasickness, which made her feel much better.
That day, Nanny Cheng was on the cabin deck, watching the children play while sewing the colorful pieces of cloth in her hands.
Nanbao was tired from playing, so she came over to rest on the small recliner next to her and eat something.
There were plates of pastries on the small tables.
"Mammy, I miss my grandma. What do you think she is doing now?" Nanbao was not in a good mood.
"You must be thinking about our daughter." Nanny Cheng said with a smile.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. My dear, you miss her, and she will definitely miss you too. Don't worry, your grandma will come to see you in the future. Or, you can wait until your grandma grows up and visit your grandma. It's all fine."
Nanbao was delighted. After eating a piece of red bean cake, she came to Madam Cheng and asked, "Madam, is this the little millstone doll you made for me?"
"Yes, the little millstone. Look, it's round, with two pieces, the top one with holes for grinding. I'll make some colored beans later and stick them on top."
"That's great! Thank you, Mammy. You are so kind."
Nanbao was obsessed with the beans that were ground last time, and even asked for the stuffed doll specifically.
