Old Master Jiang is no fool.
In his youth, he braved wind and rain, building his vast fortune with his iron fists. With a sharp eye, he could tell at a glance that Jiang Yongqiang's leg injury was probably from a fall while walking.
Who hits someone in the knee?
Moreover, those were clearly scratches from scraping the ground, so they couldn't possibly have been caused by someone hitting you.
What bothered him more was that his son, at such a young age, could tell such a lie without batting an eye; he was truly shameless.
Being thick-skinned and ruthless isn't a big deal, but the problem is that he actually dared to lie to his father's face!
That really shows they don't take him seriously!
Mr. Jiang didn't want to get involved, but Mrs. Jiang was already heartbroken just looking at the little injury on her son's knee.
“Son, why didn’t you take more people with you? Those useless people couldn’t even protect you alone. What use are they? And that Lin guy, he actually dared to lay a hand on my son. It seems he doesn’t want to live! Don’t worry, I’ll have your father take some men to deal with their family tomorrow.” Madam Jiang said, hugging Jiang Yongqiang.
"Waaah!" Jiang Yongqiang wiped away his tears and nodded to his mother, saying, "Those people in the Lin family are all bad. You should beat them all up... But, but I see a pretty girl. Bring her back to me as my wife."
Madam Jiang: "..."
"Son, what did you say? You've taken a fancy to a country girl? And you want to marry her?" Madam Jiang doted on her son, but when she heard that Jiang Yongqiang actually wanted to marry a country girl, she immediately objected.
Jiang Yongqiang hadn't yet grasped the meaning behind his mother's words. Rubbing his eyes, he nodded and said, "That's right, that girl may be small, but she'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty. My wife, of course, has to be absolutely gorgeous!"
Little Pink Butterfly, who was sitting on the roof beam of the Jiang family's house, had already gripped the axe in his hand. Laifu quickly stopped him and whispered, "Hey, don't be impulsive. Don't ruin your ghost life for such a beast. The night is still long, so don't rush."
"I just really want to kill this damn beast." Little Pink Butterfly gritted her teeth.
“No, son. I can satisfy you in any other way. But not in this. That family are all peasants from the countryside. How could they be worthy of you?” Madam Jiang disagreed.
When Jiang Yongqiang saw that his mother wouldn't agree, he plopped down on the ground and started yelling, "I just want her to be my wife! You have to make her my wife! She's beautiful, why can't you let her? I don't care, I just want her! If you don't agree, you don't love me!"
"Son..." Madam Jiang was so angry at her son's words that her liver ached, but she couldn't bear to be angry at him for crying and making such a fuss.
"Why do you care about him? Let him go. He's a grown man, bringing so many people with him, and he can't even handle a small merchant! He calls himself my son, he's a disgrace to me!" Old Master Jiang didn't really care about a little girl, he just couldn't stand his son being so useless at his age.
He should have kept quiet, because once he opened his mouth, Madam Jiang had a place to vent her pent-up anger: "You still have something to say? Isn't this all your fault? If you hadn't been involved in these dirty things every day, and your son hadn't followed suit, he would have gotten injured while doing things for you."
"And what did you do? You didn't say a single kind word, just blame. If you hadn't been so useless, failing to arrange for a few people to protect my son, we wouldn't have been unable to drive away that small merchant!"
"You surnamed Jiang, let me tell you, my son was injured because of you. If you don't get justice for my son, I'll never let you off the hook!" Madam Jiang raised her voice, and her cursing quickly drowned out Jiang Yongqiang's crying.
Jiang Yongqiang stopped crying, a few tears still clinging to his face, and looked at his mother, saying, "Anyway, I want her to be my wife."
“If you really like that girl, I can’t stop you. But with our family background, how could that little brat possibly be worthy of us? If you don’t mind, I’ll bring her back to be your maid. You can do whatever you want with her.” Madam Jiang had no other choice but to compromise in front of her son.
Master Jiang, however, glared at him and said coldly, "A doting mother spoils her son. My son was ruined by you, you ignorant fool."
"It's fine to bring back a little girl, but we can't let her ruin her health." With a flick of his sleeve, Master Jiang stormed off to his most favored concubine's room.
Madam Jiang was furious and kept cursing him as an old geezer.
Jiang Yongqiang is a sissy. He got what he wanted from Madam Jiang and ate happily. He even had a smile on his face when he slept.
As the night grew later, the moon rose higher and higher overhead.
The entire county town fell silent, and the Jiang family was no exception; the lights flickered, but there was no sound.
It was the dead of night when ghosts knocked on the door; the evil spirits came to punish those who had committed wrongdoings.
Having spent so much time together, the three ghosts had developed a tacit understanding. With just a glance, they would each take on their respective roles.
Master Cui, holding a bamboo whip, entered the room where Master Jiang was sleeping.
"Hehe~" Lai Fu rubbed his hands together like flies, with a dark smile on his face, and first ransacked the Jiang family's kitchen, tasting a couple of bites of everything.
"Ugh~ It doesn't taste good!"
It wasn't as good as the candy Wanwan gave him.
He didn't even spare Madam Jiang's room, happily touching all her jewelry and ornaments, and thinking that these things locked in boxes were nothing special.
Neither of the two ghosts went to Jiang Yongqiang's room, because that room had already been chosen by Little Pink Butterfly.
They wouldn't dare to compete with her for it.
Jiang Yongqiang was overjoyed, eagerly awaiting his father's visit to the Lin family's restaurant the next day to cause trouble and avenge him.
They could also take that little girl home.
That little girl is indeed adorable, with round eyes. I can already foresee how beautiful she will grow up to be. I can take her with me wherever I go, which will make all my friends green with envy.
Jiang Yongqiang was dreaming with his eyes closed, and he was even making "hehehe" sounds.
The woman on night watch was already exhausted. Hearing the sound, she shuddered, wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, and soon leaned against the wall and fell into a deep sleep.
The little pink butterfly sheathed its axe, a smile playing on its lips, and its black figure passed directly through the wall into the room…
