Chapter 395 Self-inflicted evil
When passing by the town, Xie Jiaojiao bought incense, candles, money and paper, and went to visit Jiang Li's grave with Jiang Weinan.
Jiang Weinan knelt in front of Jiang Li's grave for a long time until it started to rain, and then he was pulled away by Xie Jiaojiao.
In the carriage, Xie Jiaojiao hugged his arm and he leaned his head on Xie Jiaojiao's.
"Weinan, you and I can't blame Jiang Huaian for what happened! He brought this upon himself. Even without us, Brother Qin would have dealt with him sooner or later."
Jiang Weinan nodded.
Summer rain comes in bursts like this. By the time we get home, the sky has cleared up again.
Sun Ruhua looked in surprise at why so many people came back this time.
"Jiaojiao, what are these?"
Xie Jiaojiao pulled Sun Ruhua and walked into the house: "Mom, this is the person we invited to look after the house."
"How big is our house? We need so many people! You are really wasting money!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and whispered in her ear: "You don't need our money, just provide the food!"
"Really?"
"real!"
Xie Jiaojiao asked Lai Fu to arrange accommodation for them, and then she started chatting with Sun Ruhua about family matters. Jiang Weinan felt tired and went straight upstairs.
"What's wrong with my son-in-law? He doesn't look very happy."
Xie Jiaojiao simply told the story, of course apart from the matter of the mountain bandits. Sun Ruhua listened and felt a little distressed: "This child is also pitiful. In the future, mother will treat him better. You too, your son-in-law is so pitiful, you must not bully him anymore in the future."
"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you! I feel like I was picked up, but he seems like your own child."
Sun Ruhua patted her on the back and said with a smile: "You are such a chatterbox!"
After saying that, he looked at her belly again.
"Look at your belly, it's already so big. I told you to come back earlier, but you two refused to listen!"
"It's ok, mom. Look, I'm fine. Your grandson or granddaughter is fine. She just kicked me."
Sun Ruhua felt happy when she saw her appearance.
Then Xie Jiaojiao asked again: "Has anything happened in the village in the past few months?"
When it comes to this, Sun Ruhua immediately seems to have a lot to say: "How come nothing happened? You know the He family, right?"
How could Xie Jiaojiao not know that it was the He family that had been against her before.
"What happened to his family?"
"Hasn't the grain been collected yet? The family couldn't survive, so they only cared about themselves and starved his mother to death! Do you remember that he had a daughter?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
"He was also asked to sell her. I heard that in order to get more money, he didn't sell her to someone else as a maid, but directly sold her to the old landlord as a concubine! What a sin!"
Xie Jiaojiao frowned: "Isn't his daughter engaged to a family from the next village?"
"That's right! But now that family can't even take care of me, how can they take care of this unmarried daughter-in-law! And I heard that the landlord's family gave a betrothal gift of 20 taels, and nothing else!"
To be honest, twenty taels is already a lot for farmers.
"That family came to the village and demanded an explanation. They made a big fuss, but He Youcai said that they would only marry his daughter if his family paid twenty taels..."
"After last year's flood, which farmer can afford so much money?"
"In the end, He Youcai's daughter was carried away by the landlord! But she was carried back a few days later!"
"Has it been brought back?"
Sun Ruhua nodded, "Crazy!"
Xie Jiaojiao waited for her next words.
Sun Ruhua whispered, "I heard that the old landlord is old, but he still likes to make trouble for others. He bought more than a dozen concubines. In the end, these concubines either died or went crazy! What a sin!"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head. That was a sin. The old landlord deserved to have money in his hands! In which era weren't the powerful and wealthy the masters? In her society, a rich second-generation who changed his girlfriend every few months, who scolded him? She just envied him!
Sun Ruhua added: "And the village chief's house has also been very lively in the past few months!"
Speaking of this, Sun Ruhua couldn't help laughing.
"Mom, you haven't said anything yet!"
Sun Ruhua covered her mouth and laughed twice before she said, "Aren't the new bride that Wang Qiushi and the village chief just got a co-wife?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded.
"But the new bride said that she was married in a formal ceremony. Wang Qiushi, that shameless old woman, was raised by my concubine. How can she be on an equal footing with her? Not only do I have to show respect to her at home, but I also leave all the messy things at home to Wang Qiushi!"
"Will Wang Qiushi agree?"
"Hahaha... naturally she disagreed. Not only did she scold the bride, but she also pretended to be sick and called Chen Shouren away when the bride and Chen Shouren were having sex. The angry bride scolded her in the yard, saying that she was an old hag and was so shameless at her age!"
At this point, Sun Ruhua covered her mouth and laughed again: "The whole village heard the scolding. Chen Shouren didn't dare to walk around the village because of it, for fear that someone would make fun of him."
"Wouldn't that make the whole village laugh at you?"
"That's right! Think about it, Chen Shouren is already so old, but the bride has been married for almost half a year and is still not pregnant. People keep asking Chen Shouren to have a baby, but every time he is pulled away by Wang Qiushi before anything happens, how angry can the bride be?"
Xie Jiaojiao felt helpless after hearing this.
At this moment, Wang Xiuer and Niu Er came in outside, carrying a basket of duck eggs in their hands.
"Grandma Sun, thank you, Auntie!"
Sun Ruhua stood up quickly: "Why are you here now?"
Wang Xiuer had her hair combed into a bun like a woman with a silver hairpin inserted in it, and her face was very rosy.
"We saw a carriage parked at the door from afar and knew that my aunt had returned, so we came to take a look."
Sun Ruhua quickly pulled them into the house and asked them to sit down. The two of them shook their heads, put down the eggs and were about to leave.
Xie Jiaojiao quickly asked Hanlu to pack some of the cakes she had brought back and let them take them back.
Sun Ruhua looked at their backs and sighed, "It would be nice if your Aunt Wang was still here."
Xie Jiaojiao held her arm and said, "It's all over. Aunt Wang will bless them in heaven."
Sun Ruhua nodded, and just as the two were about to go home, they heard a noise coming from a distance.
Sun Ruhua smiled again: "Listen, they are arguing again!"
The noise of the quarrel was indeed loud. After all, their home was at the entrance of the village, a long distance away from the village chief's home!
It was not until the evening that Jiang Weinan came downstairs, and he looked much better.
Sun Ruhua kept picking up food for him. Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but push Sun Ruhua, telling her not to go too far.
Sun Ruhua mistakenly thought that Xie Jiaojiao meant that she wanted to eat too...
While picking up food for Xie Jiaojiao, he also told her not to eat too much, otherwise it would be difficult to give birth...
Xie Jiaojiao: ...
After eating, Xie Jiaojiao went to the yard to digest the food. The later it got, the more she couldn't lie down all day, for fear that it would be difficult to give birth!
At night, when everyone in the village was fast asleep, the dog in the Xie family yard suddenly started barking...
