Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune
Chapter 5 Adding insult to injury
"Yu Niang, stop talking, the child is waiting at home." Jiang Yunhu interrupted her.
"Big brother, let your sister-in-law speak." Lu Qingyao was also curious about what she wanted to say.
Aunt Liu curled her lip. "Sister-in-law, do you know how my husband became lame?"
Lu Qingyao did not reply to her.
"It was your ungrateful husband and mother-in-law who got beaten up..."
As Liu Yuniang spoke, she choked up, "You saw it yourself, my husband is an honest man. Back then, seeing how hard it was for them, a widow and her child, and knowing that Jiang Yunze was quite talented, he didn't want their talents to be wasted because of poverty. That's why your elder brother thought of helping them out..."
"I never expected that kid to be so wicked. He lied to my husband, saying it wouldn't be good to take his money for nothing, that it was all a loan, and that he would pay it back when he became successful..."
"Well, since it was a loan, my husband couldn't very well keep it a secret. Considering he needed to go to the capital for the imperial examinations, he gave him all his savings..."
"Unexpectedly..."
"I never imagined that he would turn his back on me once he became successful. He wouldn't even show his face and had my husband's legs broken. Can you believe there are such despicable people in this world?"
After saying this, Liu Yuniang covered her face and wept bitterly.
Jiang Miaomiao stared in shock, her mouth agape, drool uncontrollably escaping her lips.
Her scumbag father is really bad; he's a complete villain.
Lu Qingyao also felt uneasy.
In the past, she would have thought that the couple were slandering her husband.
But I've been through all that.
She believed it...
But she couldn't bring herself to say that this matter had nothing to do with her. "Sister-in-law, have you seen a doctor? Is it still curable?"
“Madam Jiang, this is none of your business, you don’t need to worry about it.” Jiang Yunhu said, and tried to pull his wife out.
"I'm not leaving, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
Liu Yuniang broke free from his hand, turned around, and dragged a stool to sit down in front of Lu Qingyao.
“Sister-in-law, in principle, besides the 110 taels of silver, we should also calculate the money for my husband’s medicine. He is the pillar of our family. Look at him like this, how are we going to live in the future?”
Lu Qingyao smiled faintly; it turned out he didn't think the money was enough.
"What do you think is a reasonable amount, sister-in-law?" If we don't settle the accounts today, it's likely that this will be a never-ending entanglement in the days to come.
“One hundred taels,” Liu Yuniang blurted out.
She also felt that she was asking for too much.
But upon closer inspection, the pearl flowers adorning this noble lady's hair were all gleaming pearls, worth at least several tens of taels of silver.
His husband's medical expenses, and the travel expenses for his round trip.
There's also the money for my mother's medicine.
These are all individual expenses.
Thinking about it that way, she felt at ease.
This is what Jiang Lao Er owes them.
Jiang Miaomiao glared at Liu Yuniang with her eyes wide open.
This woman... spit all over her face!
They want another hundred taels.
Isn't this blatant extortion of her mother?
Bad guy! Bad guy!
Jiang Miaomiao felt a pang of sadness and burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Startled by the baby's cries, Liu Yuniang suddenly stood up.
"My mother has no money, get out! All of you get out of here, you've scared my sister!" Jiang Zifeng shouted at her, clenching his fist.
Lu Qingyao: "Brother and sister-in-law, please go back. I will personally deliver the money tomorrow. I won't keep you any longer."
Seeing this, Liu Yuniang retreated behind her husband.
Jiang Yunhu originally wanted to say something, but when he saw the little baby crying so hard that his face turned purple, and his younger brother, sister-in-law and nephew who didn't have time to pay attention to them, he hesitated.
The words of explanation that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
Lu Qingyao, holding the baby, bowed to Uncle Fu and said, "I'll have to trouble the village chief to make another trip tomorrow to be our witness."
"No need for that, Madam," the village head said, offering a helping hand.
Her two little ones are quite fierce; one of them cried like the sky was about to fall.
One eye was glaring like a copper bell, as if it wanted to devour someone.
not to be trifled!
Jiang Yunhu's face darkened, and he dragged Liu Yuniang out of the house. "Why are you talking to her about this? My leg wasn't crippled by her, how can I ask her for this money? Look at the kind of people we've become!"
What was originally a justifiable matter has been turned into something that makes it seem like his family is the ones bullying others, all because of his wife's meddling.
Liu Yuniang felt wronged.
Her husband, who had never argued with her before, actually got angry at her for an outsider.
Staring at Jiang Yunhu, she said, "I was just worried about you, why are you taking it out on me? Are you suddenly feeling sorry for a woman?"
"What nonsense are you spouting? It's getting more and more outrageous."
"Isn't that right?" Liu Yuniang glared at him, flicked her sleeves, pouted, and left.
Jiang Yunhu then remembered the village chief watching behind him and said awkwardly, "Uncle Fu, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I'll have to trouble you to make another trip tomorrow. I've prepared a few jugs of good wine for you to take back with you."
"Alright, alright, it's no big deal." He was naturally happy to have free wine to drink.
However, he had witnessed firsthand the difference between the daughters raised by wealthy families and the village girls.
Despite being a single mother with three children, living in such a house, and facing such a situation, she remained calm and composed.
She has the demeanor of a great person.
He spoke earnestly to Jiang Yunhu, saying, "Brother Hu, regardless of how badly Brother Ze treated you, your sister-in-law is a good person, and those three children are blood relatives after all. It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them..."
"I understand what you're saying, and I'll try my best to help out." Since his younger brother and sister-in-law returned the money to him without hesitation, he wouldn't abandon them.
That was his savings that he had been trying to get back for over ten years.
......
Jiang Miaomiao cried uncontrollably, straining her voice.
"Don't cry, little sister. The bad guys have been chased away by their big brother." Jiang Zifeng took the baby, rocked her, and patted her back to comfort her.
"Is Miaomiao hungry?" Jiang Ziyan put his sister's hand back into her mouth.
She was still crying.
Jiang Miaomiao was indeed hungry; she hadn't had a full meal since she transmigrated.
Upon hearing that their food rations were almost gone, they cried even harder.
Lu Qingyao's head was throbbing. This little girl hadn't eaten enough; she herself hadn't eaten anything for almost a day.
Where did the breast milk come from to feed her?
The steamed buns we brought on the way are almost gone.
I originally thought that pawning it as jewelry would provide some financial security.
Now things are really messed up; the kitchen is gone, and the money is almost gone too.
This is just adding insult to injury!
With the sun about to set, birds and beasts returned to their forests, making hunting impossible.
How can this be good?
"Knock knock knock..." A knocking sound came from outside the door.
"I'll open the door."
Jiang Zifeng handed his younger sister to his mother, ran out quickly, and then brought in a little girl.
The girl looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old and was wearing a gray coat.
"Auntie, Dad asked me to bring you some food."
The little girl placed a bowl of noodle soup on the table as she spoke.
"Are you Jiang Qiao'er?" Lu Qingyao looked at the little girl and could tell at a glance that she was her eldest brother's daughter.
The father and daughter look so alike.
Jiang Qiao'er nodded obediently, walked to her side, took out a small gourd from her bosom and handed it to her, "Auntie, this is goat milk. Father asked me to secretly bring it to my little sister. Don't let my mother find out."
These were all secretly taken from his younger brother's rations by his father.
If Mom finds out, it will be terrible...
