Chapter 145 Pushing My Daughter Into the Fire
The carriage gradually approached, and everyone looked at the brand new carriage curiously. When they saw that the driver was Zhao Wei, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Zhao Wei often comes to the Jiang family to help recently. Besides, he will be the son-in-law of the Jiang family in less than half a month. Who in the village doesn’t know him?
"Zhao boy? Why are you driving the carriage?" Aunt Guihua, who was holding the rice washing basket, had a bad feeling when she saw Zhao Wei on the carriage.
"Aunt Guihua!" Zhao Wei also recognized this woman and had no intention of giving her a good face, but he was not from Qinghe Village. If he ignored her, people would talk behind her back, affecting the reputation of his fiancée and the Jiang family.
"Oh! Is it Erlang and the others who are back?" Aunt Ya just went home to get the steamer and saw Zhao Wei driving the carriage. She shouted in surprise.
"Aunt!" The carriage was about to pass by, but when Zhao Wei saw Aunt Ya, he slowed down.
Jiang Youzhen heard Aunt Ya's voice, so he lifted the car curtain and called out, "Aunt Ya, are you coming up? I'll be back soon."
Aunt Ya has been helping the Jiang family cook recently. There are about 20 people working every day, and they have to make a lot of steamed buns. Jiang Youzhen didn't want the three sisters to be smoky, and the three sisters' embroidery skills have improved very quickly recently, so they were reluctant to put down the frame.
If only Guozi helped, it would be too late, so she called Aunt Ya.
Aunt Ya smiled brightly when she heard this. "Go! Go! I have never ridden in a carriage before! Did you buy this carriage? Erlang always said he wanted to buy a carriage before he went to the capital. I didn't expect that he would really buy one when he came back this time."
Aunt Ya looked very proud of herself. Before getting on the carriage, she deliberately spoke loudly. She glanced at Aunt Guihua, whose face was ashen, and the smile on her face became even bigger. Then she climbed into the carriage.
"Wow! This carriage must have cost a lot of silver? It's so spacious inside!" Aunt Ya, who was sitting in the carriage, deliberately spoke so loudly so that people outside could hear.
"It's not a lot of money. It will be convenient for going to town after buying it!" Jiang Youzhen held back his laughter, knowing what Aunt Ya meant.
Because of the incident with Gao Shuisheng, the Jiang family did not let Aunt Guihua's husband come to work at home when they were building the house. Unexpectedly, Aunt Guihua was also shameless. After knowing that Jiang Fugui did not invite her husband, she even came to the door and accused Jiang Fugui of being ungrateful.
They are all family members, but they don't take care of their own family members, but take care of outsiders. They are so ungrateful. They came for two days in a row, standing in front of the Jiang family's old house and cursing, and no one could persuade them to stop.
What she meant was that if her man did the work, she would let bygones be bygones.
Jiang Youzhen was busy with the restaurant's business those days. This woman was very smart and came when she was away.
The next day, Aunt Ya couldn't bear it anymore and poured a basin of dirty vegetable washing water on her. The woman actually took this opportunity to blackmail her.
If the head of the Jiang family had not arrived in time before Jiang Youzhen came back, Jiang Youzhen would not have been polite to her. I don't know how the head of the Jiang family communicated with her, but this woman never came to cause trouble again.
However, since then, Aunt Guihua has hated the second branch of the Jiang family.
Aunt Guihua was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Her husband did not go to work for Jiang Fugui's family, and she lost a lot. I heard that the second branch of the Jiang family not only gave ten cents a day, but also provided three meals a day. Every meal was provided by the big wharf, and there were meat slices for every meal.
This is a good job for farmers who have already gone through a winter and are in financial difficulty at home.
Every meal is made of steamed buns made of three-grain flour. Even though they are not made of pure white flour, they are still a refined grain, much better than the wild vegetable dumpling soup made at home.
But this little bastard Jiang Erlang actually dared to instigate his father not to call his own man. How could Aunt Guihua tolerate this?
Everyone was discussing the Jiang family's second branch buying a carriage, their expressions and tone full of envy and jealousy.
"Last time, Datong worked at the rice shop in town for two days. The owner of the rice shop just bought a horse carriage, which cost forty or fifty taels! How did the second branch of the Jiang family become so rich that they can even afford a horse carriage?"
"Isn't it? How did Jiang Fugui's family become rich? Did the master really give so much reward? I don't believe it."
"Maybe he has found some way to make money, but he just won't let us know. We don't know what the way is, so we can only watch him get rich!"
Many villagers were jealous and many of them went to the Jiang family to inquire, but unfortunately they didn't find out anything.
"Tsk~ What's so special about it? It's just a carriage. Humph!" Aunt Guihua's face turned extremely ugly when she heard everyone praising Jiang Fugui's family.
When everyone heard Aunt Guihua say this, they couldn't help laughing.
"Jiang Laojiu's family, do you have forty or fifty taels? It's just a carriage. I see you don't even have forty or fifty cents?" There were also people in the village who looked down on Aunt Guihua and immediately retorted.
"Who knows if this carriage was bought by his family? He has two copper coins to burn, and he hires a carriage to go everywhere." Aunt Guihua snorted coldly and left with the basket.
"Oh! Isn't it just that Jiang Fugui didn't ask Jiang Laojiu to go to work? But I heard that it was she who instigated the Gao family kid to cause trouble for Jiang Erlang, and almost caused Jiang Erlang to lose his life. This person! She has a bad conscience and dares to make trouble at someone's door. She has no shame at all."
Of course, those whose husbands are working for Jiang Fugui's family will speak up for Jiang Fugui's family. Besides, Aunt Guihua is really annoying.
"That's right! If someone doesn't take advantage of you, you'll hate them. Look at her, she just carried a rice basket and went to the river to wash rice on purpose. Wasn't it just to show us that her family is eating rice tonight? It's just half a bowl of rice, and she has the nerve to show it off."
"Haha! She has a well at her doorstep, but she still goes to the river to wash rice, just for us to see? How funny!"
"Huh? Didn't I hear that her family was about to run out of food? How come she still has rice to eat?"
"Don't you know? Her daughter Qiuyue is going to be engaged to someone else. I heard that the horoscopes have been matched!"
"What? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Everyone exclaimed, looking stunned, because it was too sudden. After all, Qiuyue had been going to Jiang Fugui's house quite frequently some time ago, and everyone with a discerning eye knew that Qiuyue had fallen in love with Jiang Erlang.
"It's the pork seller in town, his surname is Tu. The rice was sent by his family."
"Ah? Isn't he a widower? He left behind a baby!" Another round of exclamations.
At this moment, Jiang Youzhen in the carriage was also listening to Aunt Ya talking about this matter, and he couldn't help but sigh.
She remembered that Qiuyue was just fifteen this year, right? But the widower was already in his twenties, and he was big and strong, looking like he was in his thirties, and most importantly, he had a ten-year-old son.
"She! She doesn't care about Qiuyue at all. Is that butcher a good guy? I heard that the daughter-in-law was beaten to death by him. He bullied her because she had no family to support her. How dare she marry into such a family? For the sake of ten taels of silver, she pushed her daughter into the fire pit."
Another ten taels of silver, Jiang Youzhen sighed. But this is someone else's fate, she can't do anything about it. There are too many such things in the world, she can't handle them all.
