Chapter 149 1 The Poor House
The one who said this was Fourth Uncle. After he finished speaking, he coughed lightly and looked at Jiang Youzhen.
Oh, huh? This matter was really thrown to me? Jiang Youzhen was speechless. You guys are dreaming. I can't take it over.
"Erlang! Your father just said that you have grown up, so let you handle this matter. Your third aunt has been wronged, and our Jiang family and their old Lu family have not let this matter go."
Jiang Hailin pointed at Jiang Youzhen and said, "Erlang, just go back with your aunt. Be tough this time and let the Lu family see the power of our Jiang family's sons. Don't let them mess around."
Jiang Youzhen was almost laughing out of anger. He opened his big mouth and said anything.
"Fourth Uncle, our Jiang family really needs to help Third Aunt in this matter. After all, Third Aunt has suffered a great injustice." Jiang Youzhen nodded.
"Look, Erlang also said so. Erlang is really understanding and has really grown up and become sensible!" Jiang Hailin was surprised why Jiang Youzhen agreed so readily this time, but as long as this matter could be pinned on Jiang Youzhen and had nothing to do with him, what did he care?
Even Jiang Yueniang forgot to wipe her tears, and she and her aunt Xiao Chen looked at Jiang Youzhen as if they were watching a foreign spectacle. Xiao Chen was stunned. Did Jiang Erlang agree? Really agreed? No way?
"But I am of low status and my words carry no weight, so it would be useless if I went. Since the family wants the younger generation to come to the fore, let the eldest grandson set an example!" After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, he looked at his aunt, Xiao Chen, and smiled at her.
"Aunt, why don't we let our eldest brother take the lead and bring all the young men in our family back with Third Aunt? With more people, the Lu family won't dare to act recklessly."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyebrows immediately raised, "That won't do! Why should my son go?"
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room looked at her with different expressions. The old lady and Jiang Yuiniang were the most angry, and they were ready to talk to the eldest son's wife.
"Ahem! I'm not saying my son can't go. It's just that Dalang has just reached the age of twenty, he is young and doesn't know much. As the saying goes, a man without hair on his lips cannot do things well. This matter cannot be handed over to Dalang. If he messes it up, won't it ruin my life?"
"Oh! If my eldest brother can't do it, I certainly can't do it either. As the eldest grandson of the eldest son, my eldest brother has been personally taught by my eldest uncle since he was young. Who is my eldest uncle?"
When everyone heard this, they were confused again.
Luo waited for a while, but saw Jiang Youzhen shut up. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who is your uncle?"
"Of course he is a sensible and highly respected scholar! Our second branch can't read a single word, how can we have such a good upbringing? We are definitely far inferior to our eldest brother."
When Mrs. Luo heard this, her eyes rolled and she suddenly clapped her hands, "That's right! What do the youngsters know? Isn't it child's play to let them go? My Sanlang and Silang are still so young, they definitely can't go."
Jiang Youzhen sneered in her heart, she knew that it was right to throw the problem to her aunt.
"Humph! I finally heard it. You guys are pushing me and I'm pushing you. You don't want to care about Yue Niang's matter at all. Don't you think that if Yue Niang doesn't live well in her husband's family, our family will lose face!"
It must be said that the old lady really doted on Jiang Yuiniang. When she heard that no one was willing to help, she immediately frowned.
"Mom!" Jiang Hailin sighed helplessly, "It's common for men to take concubines. If my brother-in-law wants to take a concubine, we can't stop him! Even if we take him to the government, we won't win."
Jiang Hailin didn't want to get involved in this kind of shit. If he were to say, his brother-in-law was the one who had the guts and the money! Anyway, the money for the mistress didn't need to be paid by the family, so who cares!
"Mother! Do you think my fourth brother is speaking human language? He doesn't even come home from Dashan anymore, and all the money he earns every day is used to feed that little bitch. Qian'er and Yu'er are almost starving to death. Look how thin we are. What kind of life are we living?"
Jiang Yue Niang started crying again as she spoke. Suddenly, the curtain in the inner room was opened and a boy and girl walked out.
"Puchi!" Jiang Youzhen couldn't help laughing when she saw it, and Jiang Yue Niang immediately turned her gaze to her.
It's not that Jiang Youzhen doesn't know the situation, it's just that Jiang Yueniang has no idea!
Jiang Yuenniang had a round face, ruddy complexion, and a slim figure. Her daughter was okay, just a little plump, but her son Lu Qian was not just plump, he was fat.
The head is round, the belly is round, the arms and legs are round, anyway, everything on the body is round. Jiang Youzhen has not seen many fat people since he came here, and this one is really one of them.
I didn't expect that Lu Dashan's carpentry skills could support his son to be so well-off. It seems that he really makes a lot of money every year.
Jiang Hailin glanced at his nephew and was a little speechless. This is called thin? He is almost as big as a ball.
"Hehe! There's nothing wrong with eating less. Sister, look how fat Qian'er is. To keep him so well, all your family's money must have been spent on his food, right?" Jiang Hailin smacked his lips, feeling a little envious.
Although he would secretly cook for himself from time to time, he didn't have that much private money after all, so how could he eat and drink delicious food every day?
Lu Qian was unhappy when he heard this. "I didn't eat your food, what's your business? Your family is poor and has nothing to eat. You have grown into a bamboo pole, and you can only envy me. A whole house of poor people, huh!"
Jiang Youzhen was almost laughing out of anger. This guy really wasn't a good guy. He didn't have any tutoring skills, and he was always poor.
She glanced at Jiang Fugui, and sure enough! Jiang Fugui frowned, a little unhappy.
Jiang Fugui was a man who valued affection and courtesy, and he disliked people like Lu Qian. Jiang Youzhen was happy to watch the fun from the sidelines. Anyway, as long as the war didn't spread to her family, she didn't need to intervene.
"Hey? This kid, does he know the rules? I'm his uncle, how dare he talk to me like that?" Jiang Hailin was too lazy to care about this kind of thing, and was so angry that he turned away.
Jiang Yueniang snorted coldly, "Old Four, what do you mean by this? How is Qian'er fat? You..."
"Alright! What are you arguing about? We are trying to solve the problem now, why are you arguing about something else?" Jiang He patted the edge of the kang and said in a cold voice.
"Dad, you have to make the decision for me! What's the use of having so many brothers? None of them will help me get justice." Jiang Yue Niang started crying again.
"The eldest and fourth sons are about to go, so they really don't have time to go. There are already many trivial matters at home, and they have to calm down and study to prepare. If you pass, you will be a scholar, and your in-laws will dare to bully you in the future?"
The old man glanced at Jiang Yue Niang, then turned his gaze to Jiang Fugui.
"You are the second oldest child in our family and the one with the least time. You should go back with Yue Niang and get this done." The old man made the final decision and gave the order directly.
Jiang Youzhen didn't wait for Jiang Fugui to speak, and said directly: "Grandpa, have you forgotten that my family is still building a house? They are very busy over there, how can they have free time? Besides, it would be useless for my father to go there, can my uncle listen to my father?
Even if I beat him up, will my uncle change his mind? Besides, my father is exhausted now. Even if he fights with my uncle, he can't beat him!"
