A Family Reunion
Zhao Xiaonian chuckled twice, met Jiang Yimian’s suspicious gaze, and immediately waved his hands, saying: “I, I was talking nonsense, nonsense, I won’t do it again.”
He didn’t know that Aunt Wang would suddenly appear; he just casually made up a few sentences, and Aunt Wang happened to hear them.
Who can you reason with about this?
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes, glanced at Zhao Xiaonian’s extremely guilty appearance, then looked at Song Er, gesturing for him to speak.
Song Er just smiled and said: “This kid is talking nonsense, saying that Uncle Jiang has a benefactor to help him, what kind of past life connection, can help him soar to the sky, a meteoric rise.”
Uncle Jiang was curious about who this benefactor was.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang happened to hear it, and Aunt Wang angrily ridiculed Uncle Jiang for dreaming, and Uncle Jiang was beaten.
Such a big black eye, it’s probably still there now.”
Thinking of that day’s scene, he couldn’t help but laugh.
The people in the villa were basically all messed up by Zhao Xiaonian; fortune-telling and fortune-telling were all nonsense. Occasionally, he could get a sentence or two right, all by pure luck.
Zhao Xiaonian didn’t know how it happened, but he suddenly got an idea about Jiang Dazhuang. He had just excitedly made up a few lies when Wang Fengqin, who had been traveling for several days, heard them.
He thought that the reunion of relatives should be a scene of warm hugs and tears.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Fengqin saw Jiang Dazhuang believed Zhao Xiaonian’s words, she angrily punched him, stunning everyone.
Little Nuaner also nodded in agreement beside her, adding: “That day, Mother was so fierce, she scared Little Nuaner.”
Father coaxed Mother for several days before she stopped being angry.”
This was the first time she had seen her mother beat someone so fiercely.
Jiang Yimian was a little surprised, and couldn’t quite imagine Wang Fengqin’s fierce appearance when she beat someone.
Wang Fengqin had always been gentle to them, speaking softly and never being too harsh, except once when she dealt with Old Man Jiang and Old Woman Wu.
Thinking of Jiang Dazhuang being beaten by Wang Fengqin, she couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that the estate was very lively during the time she was away.
Zhao Xiaonian became unhappy, his face full of grievance, “Brother Song, stop framing me, I clearly calculated it accurately for you.
Didn’t I find the antidote for Old Chen? I am your lifesaver; you are so heartless, you actually burned your bridges.”
After saying that, he quickly ran away, without a trace of the confident look in his words.
As soon as Song Er heard this, he immediately cried out, rolled up his sleeves and hit Zhao Xiaonian, “You dare say, if you hadn’t hidden the antidote, would I have had to suffer so many days of pain?
I almost died of pain, let me teach you a lesson today.”
Jiang Yimian watched the two chase each other, smiled, and took the two little ones to the courtyard where Jiang Dazhuang lived.
Along the way, she met many people. When everyone saw Jiang Yimian return, they happily greeted her, their eyes full of smiles.
Although she was still wearing the same clothes as before, everyone’s faces showed genuine smiles, full of vitality, making people involuntarily infected.
There was no longer the previous timid and flattering appearance, nor the constant fear that the next person to be beaten to death by the master would be themselves.
Everyone had adapted to life in the villa, busy but exceptionally fulfilling and comfortable.
Jiang Yimian nodded to everyone before leaving.
When she arrived at Jiang Dazhuang’s courtyard, she happened to hear Wang Fengqin’s murmuring voice from inside the house.
“I tell you, how old are you, you know you have a wound, and you dare to touch water, what if it gets infected?”
“Fengqin, I didn’t mean to! Don’t worry, I’m fine.
Look, it’s almost healed.”
Their voices were not loud, their tone was ordinary, but they could hear the care between husband and wife, that kind of plain love.
Jiang Yimian didn’t know why she suddenly thought of Lu Cijian. If he were here, he would probably be very happy, and he would probably be healed by the conversation between the two people in the room.
As she was thinking, Little Nuaner and Xiaoye had already entered the house with smiles.
“Mother, Father, Elder Sister is back.”
Hearing this, Wang Fengqin and Jiang Dazhuang quickly ran out of the house. Seeing the person standing in the courtyard, they immediately became happy.
The girl wore a purple dress, making her skin even whiter, her long black hair like a waterfall secured by an elegant jade hairpin, looking exceptionally beautiful.
It’s just that her whole person seemed to have lost a lot of weight, clearly thinner.
Wang Fengqin quickly stepped forward, pulling Jiang Yimian to look her over, before saying with heartache: “Why have you lost weight?
Your face is so thin, I haven’t seen you for more than a month, you’ve lost so much weight.”
These days, she had been worried about her daughter, and now that she had finally seen her, her worry was even greater.
She must have suffered a lot to lose so much weight.
She knew that her heart aching was a bad sign.
Jiang Yimian was a little helpless under Wang Fengqin’s anxious gaze, and only held her hand and said: “I’m fine, I lost weight because of running back and forth between the Capital and here. How was your journey here?”
Wang Fengqin just waved her hand and smiled, “What could happen to us? With Xiao Wu and Xiao Hei, nothing happened.
Oh, by the way, where is Cijian? Didn’t he come back with you?”
If it weren’t for Song Xiaowu this time, they probably wouldn’t have come to Pingjiang County so smoothly. They probably wouldn’t even know the way here, let alone anything else.
She was thinking of thanking Lu Cijian properly when he returned, but she didn’t expect him not to come back with her daughter.
Jiang Yimian was stunned, and smiled, “He has something to do, he can’t leave.”
Wang Fengqin responded, “You must not have eaten anything since you came back so late, I’ll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat, our family is finally reunited.”
After saying that, she quickly went into the kitchen to get busy.
Seeing this, Jiang Dazhuang also quickly went in to help.
In a short while, they made a few simple home-cooked dishes, all of which were Jiang Yimian and the two children’s favorites.
Wang Fengqin and the others had already eaten dinner, but seeing Jiang Yimian come back, they were extremely happy and sat down to eat together.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jiang Dazhuang still had a few deep wounds that hadn’t fully healed, he would have definitely brought out some wine to drink.
At this moment, the family sat in the house quietly eating supper, which made everyone feel a little dazed, as if they had returned to the time when nothing had happened.
At that time, although their family didn’t have enough to eat or wear, they were very happy.
The children would be happy about an extra dish today, and they would also yield to each other for the small amount of meat.
It was only a few years ago, but Jiang Dazhuang felt that those memories seemed too distant to him.
He looked at the few people in front of him and silently reddened his eyes.
If it weren’t for Fengqin’s visit this time, he wouldn’t have known what Fengqin and the others had suffered in the village after he left.
