Chapter 741 Don’t Underestimate Women
Jiang Youzhen looked at the sleeping child in her arms. He looked about one year old, with fair skin and seemed to be well taken care of.
For women, once children are involved, even husbands can be abandoned. Moreover, a man like Qin Shun also yelled at Liu and did not necessarily show much respect.
Liu nodded, "Okay! I'll do as you wish."
She grasped the banknote in her hand, her hands trembling.
"If necessary, I will make a forced decision and will not implicate you, but I ask you to take care of this child." There was a strange light in Liu's eyes.
As she spoke, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed while holding the child. Jiang Youzhen was about to help her up, but she said, "Thank you for the opportunity, sir. I will definitely live up to the mission!"
Liu's decisiveness and resoluteness touched Jiang Youzhen. Until she left, Jiang Youzhen felt that once a woman became cruel, she could be scary.
"This woman is no ordinary person!" Qingyan said with sincere emotion.
Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "Don't underestimate women. As long as they are no longer soft-hearted, they can do things beyond your imagination."
The days of visiting relatives in his hometown were very leisurely, but Jiang Youzhen did not stay for long. On the 21st, he had already booked a cabin and was ready to return to Beijing.
There is only one month of home visit leave, and apart from the time spent on the road, I can only stay in my hometown for a few days.
"We're leaving tomorrow, and your father and I are a little reluctant to let you go." Shen said with emotion.
Jiang Youzhen was worried about letting Shen and Jiang Fugui return to Beijing later, so he had to go back with them.
"The people in my farm are still making wine. I've been away for too long. I'm afraid they're lazy and not following the process."
Jiang Fugui was not so sentimental. After all, people have to have a career. Once a career instance is launched, how can there be so much time for sadness?
"Hmph! You are a heartless person. You grew up in Qinghe Village, but you don't have much affection. There are people in charge watching over the winemaking, and there are also people sent by the court watching over it. Do you still need to do it yourself? Do you think that without you, Jiang the butcher, people will eat hairy pigs?" Shen was unhappy and thought about making wine all day long.
"What are you talking about? Aren't you worried? You can't be careless with this strong liquor. It can't be mixed with anything else." Jiang Fugui sighed, and suddenly thought of a saying that scholars often say, "Only villains and women are difficult to raise!"
Hmm! No, my daughter is also a woman, but she is very sensible and decisive, which shows that she also judges people.
Jiang Youzhen listened to the two people arguing with a smile, and prepared to go back to the house to clean up.
"Master, Madam, Young Master, the clan leader is here."
The clan leader would never come here without a reason, and he must have come here to look for Jiang Youzhen.
"Please go to the outer study." Jiang Youzhen ordered, then looked at Jiang Fugui.
"Dad, shall we go over and take a look together?"
Jiang Fugui thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine!"
He was thinking about donating sacrificial fields and silver to the tribe, and even giving away tax exemptions on the land. He didn't know if the tribe leader had any other requests. If there were any excessive demands, he could help to block them.
The two went to the outer study, where the patriarch was already drinking tea.
"The tea you have here is delicious. I have Maojian at home, but why can't it be as delicious as yours?"
After Chief Jiang and Jiang Youzhen exchanged greetings, he asked the questions that were in his mind.
Of course, the tea grades are different. Even Maojian has good and bad grades. Besides, Jiang Youzhen is so extravagant that he drips spiritual spring water into the tea leaves. Even the emperor's tea doesn't taste as good as Jiang Youzhen's.
"If you like it, take two cans back later." Jiang Youzhen said with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Zhizhuang who was standing behind the patriarch, and guessed in his mind the purpose of the patriarch's visit this time.
"Then I won't be polite with you." Patriarch Jiang knew that Jiang Youzhen had a lot of good tea, so he didn't mind this and he wasn't pretentious.
I felt really refreshed after drinking it, and my chaotic mind seemed to be much clearer.
"There's something." The old man pulled Jiang Zhizhuang behind him, "Look! His mother came to beg me, saying that she can't afford to raise this child anymore."
"He eats five large bowls of food at a time. He has been kept by the clan, but his mother wants him to follow you to pursue a better future. If you want to stay, I will give him to you. If you don't want to stay, I will give him back to you."
The team leader spoke casually, but his eyes were always fixed on Jiang Youzhen.
"In fact, many families in the clan have sent their children to my house, but I never agreed. The ones you keep are all capable. Why keep those who are not capable? Don't think of taking advantage of them. How can such a good thing happen?"
Some people had brought their children to his house to beg for help before, but when Jiang Youzhen came back, everyone saw that Jiang Zhizhou and Jiang Zhiyang were living so well that they went crazy with envy and jealousy, and stayed at his house all day long and refused to leave.
They didn't dare to bother Jiang Youzhen, so they could only catch him and ask. But he looked down on most people, let alone Jiang Youzhen. But Dazhuang was different. This kid was born with supernatural powers, so it was good for Jiang Youzhen to stay by his side.
"Da Zhuang has plenty of strength. Although he is not very smart, he is obedient. He is absolutely obedient." He was even a little stubborn, but the clan leader held back and did not say this.
In fact, Jiang Youzhen originally wanted to keep Jiang Zhizhuang, but he didn't have the time to say it.
She glanced at Jiang Zhizhuang, who was eager and nervous, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to go to the capital with me?"
Jiang Zhizhuang nodded hurriedly, "Yes! I really want to. I want to go there even in my dreams."
As he said this, he walked up to Jiang Youzhen and kowtowed to him with a plop.
Jiang Youzhen was speechless. Why do people in this dynasty like to kowtow at every turn?
"Get up quickly! We don't have such rules here." Jiang Youzhen stepped forward to support him.
"But I'll say this beforehand. If you don't obey, I'll send you back. I want someone who obeys me and doesn't interfere in other people's affairs. I also want someone who has strong execution ability. Can you do that?"
Jiang Zhizhuang nodded his head repeatedly, "My mother said that I am obedient and strong. I have followed Uncle Sixteen, and I just need to be obedient. Uncle Sixteen says to go east and not west, and I just need to finish what he tells me to do, and I must not use my own brain."
Jiang Youzhen was amused by him. This boy was really honest and straightforward.
Even Jiang Fugui couldn't help laughing. This boy was a little naive, but it was obvious that the little girl had plans for him.
"That's fine. Go back and pack your things! We'll set off early tomorrow morning." Jiang Youzhen said as he took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over.
"Take this back to your parents. After you go to the capital, it may be difficult for them to be around to show their filial piety. Give them this twenty taels of silver to help them settle down."
Jiang Zhizhuang was indeed obedient and not pretentious at all. He took the silver and thanked Jiang Youzhen.
"Thank you, Uncle Sixteen. I'll go back and pack my things now." He was so happy that Jiang Youzhen accepted him that he didn't even have time to think about parting with his parents.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhuang leave happily, Jiang Youzhen smiled and shook his head. Maybe only if you keep your mind simple can you live a good life, and be content with what you have!
