Chapter 152 Story

Chapter 152 Story
There are only a dozen households left in the small mountain village, scattered on both sides of the stream.

Of course, I can’t call it Xiaoxi for now…

Most of them are on the east side of the stream, but there are also a few families on the west side.

There was a small wooden bridge, but it was washed away by the flood.

The two sides have temporarily cut off contact.

If there is something, I can only call or stand by the river and shout.

After Jiang Ning came back from sending the people away, Lu Jingwei flew over to take a look in person.

I felt relieved only after confirming that the house had not collapsed and everyone was safe.

Although many houses leak badly, it’s fine as long as they don’t collapse.

Jiang Ning found an opportunity to ask the secretary why the boss's face turned blue.

The secretary told him a story that was not even shown on TV.

It’s related to Jiang Yuling.

Even though he would not be moved by seeing a dead person, he was still shocked after hearing the story: "Is there such a thing?"

The secretary nodded: "The boss is in a bad mood, so don't mention it for now."

Jiang Ning asked: "Where are her family members? Didn't they come to find her?"

The secretary shook her head: "I'm not sure about that. It's been more than ten years, so I probably thought she was gone."

Jiang Ning was speechless for a moment, even he didn't know what to say.

He has witnessed countless human tragedies.

But this is still quite typical.

Although the matter was settled, Boss Lu couldn't leave.

His relatives' affairs have not been settled yet.

After going to Jiang Yuling's house again and persuading her earnestly for a long time, and with the village chief glaring and scolding her idiot, Jiang Yuling's husband finally agreed to let his wife go to the county hospital for treatment, but on the condition that he had to go with them.

He was afraid that Boss Lu would abduct his wife away.

Lu Jingxu's face turned dark as he heard this.

Jiang Ning tried to hold back, but couldn't help laughing out loud.

Lu Jingwei's face became even darker.

The secretary's face twitched wildly, but he didn't dare to laugh.

Jiang Yuling was still covered in mud.

The stupid husband didn't even know to change her clothes.

Finally, the village chief called an old woman and spent a long time cleaning up the mess.

They got on the plane at the threshing ground and the couple sat in the back.

The secretary sat in the co-pilot seat, and he had to go downstairs to make arrangements.

It's too difficult to communicate with the mentally retarded.

Jiang Ning took a long time to get Ersha to fasten his seat belt and put on noise-canceling headphones.

They were also afraid that this guy would suddenly open the cabin door and make a free landing at a high altitude. So they kept giving instructions and warnings tirelessly, and the village chief also glared at him and shouted at him from outside, before this guy reluctantly calmed down.

But after the plane took off, this guy still caused trouble.

First, take off your noise-canceling headphones.

Go and unbuckle your seat belt.

"Put it on."

Jiang Ning shouted, full of murderous intent.

The plane has taken off into the sky, this is no joke.

If something really happened, he didn't want to be held responsible for no reason.

Ersha was shocked. This young man was even more fierce than the village chief.

He put on his headphones obediently and didn't dare to move.

Jiang Yuling kept her head down and huddled in the back seat without saying a word.

The secretary looked at Jiang Ning in surprise.

Boss Jiang is murderous.

It's unusual!

It took more than ten minutes to reach the farm, and a car from the county had already come to pick us up.

After getting off the plane, the secretary took the two to the hospital.

Jiang Ning was busy though, he took off again and flew to pick up Boss Lu.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, Boss Lu was communicating with Jiang Yuling's daughter.

It must be said that Boss Lu has a very special affinity, especially towards children. Jiang Yuling's timid daughter was not afraid of him. She answered Boss Lu's questions in a perfunctory manner while chewing an apple.

After Jiang Ning arrived, Boss Lu stopped disturbing the village.

I took the little girl to the threshing ground and took a helicopter to Zhangqiao Township.

Lu Jingwei was not sitting in the passenger seat, but the girl in the photo was sitting in the back seat.

It was the little girl’s first time on a plane. She leaned against the window and looked down curiously.

I have never been to school and have been staying in a closed mountain village.

I can even count the number of times I’ve been to the county town on one hand.

Maybe she had never thought that people could fly to the sky.

The plane arrived at Zhangqiao.

When the villagers heard the noise, they all ran out to watch.

The helicopter circled for a while and landed in the yard.

A group of people came forward.

Lu Jingwei got out of the car and opened his umbrella first.

Then he carried the little girl away, and the group of people had different expressions.

The boss's relatives naturally knew each other from the beginning.

Including the clothes the little girl is wearing, all of which were bought by the boss’s wife when she came to Bei’an to visit her.

Lu Jingwei didn't go upstairs, but told the people in the county to go back to the county town directly.

No one dared to say anything and quickly called the driver.

My second cousin's attention is all on the boss.

Jiang Ning couldn't even talk to him.

It was not until the people from the county got on the bus and left that I chatted with my second cousin for a few words.

It seemed that his second cousin had no intention of inviting him up for a cup of tea.

After chatting for a few minutes, I flew back to the farm.

After parking the plane in the hangar, we didn't dare let the incompetent people in the office building touch it, so we pulled out the mats inside and cleaned them ourselves. Before, everyone's feet were covered in mud, making it impossible to clean the cabin.

After cleaning the plane, I drove home.

After all the trouble, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

Feng Xue is cooking.

Feng Yu helped pick the vegetables.

When he came back, I asked, "Are you done with your work?"

Jiang Ning said, "It's over. I don't know when the rain will stop. If it continues like this, we'll probably have a lot of trouble."

Feng Yu said: "It has been many years since my hometown has had such heavy rain. I guess there are many houses leaking."

Jiang Ning nodded and said, "I'll tell you a story later."

Feng Yu asked: "What story?"

Jiang Ning said, "Let's talk about it while we eat."

Feng Yu didn't ask any more questions.

It was almost six o'clock when the meal was ready.

The three of them ate around the dining table.

Feng Yu said: "You can tell the story now."

While picking up food, Jiang Ning said, "The story goes like this. About ten years ago, a female college student planned to travel to the Northwest after graduation. So she took action and went west through the Central Plains and Guanzhong. One day, she arrived at a small city in the Northwest..."

"I was walking in the night market at night and ran into a few hooligans causing trouble. Fortunately, a kind-hearted man came to rescue me. I thought he was a kind man, but he turned out to be a demon. Seeing that the female college student was young and beautiful, he tricked her into a rural area outside the city and locked her up, and raped her..."

Feng Yu couldn't listen any longer: "How can this be possible?"

Feng Xue also nodded. This story was not pleasant at all.

Jiang Ning raised his eyelids: "Don't interrupt."

Feng Yu had no choice but to listen.

Jiang Ning continued: "More than a decade ago, there were large rural areas all around the small town. The female college student was locked up in a yard far from other houses. She was not allowed to go out, and no one could hear her even if she screamed at the top of her lungs."

“I was locked up like this for six or seven years.”

"The female college student had become stupid. She couldn't speak for a long time and she could hardly walk. One day there was an earthquake and the house collapsed. The woman hid under a table and escaped. She then fled at night."

"She fled to the wilderness and wandered there for a night. The next day, she wandered on the way out of the city and met a kind-hearted person, a villager from a small mountain village who was coming to the city. He took her to a small mountain village that was almost isolated from the outside world."

"She was locked up for so long that she could no longer speak. She lived in a small mountain village for two years before she learned to speak again, learning the local dialect. Later, she married a stupid bachelor and gave birth to a daughter."

Jiang Ning asked: "What do you think of this story?"

Feng Yu curled her lips: "It doesn't sound good at all."

Feng Xue nodded.

What kind of story is this? It's clearly a lie.

Jiang Ning asked, "What if this isn't a story?"

Feng Yu asked: "If it's not a story, then what is it?"

Jiang Ning said: "Reality is sometimes more exciting than stories."

Feng Yu was surprised: "Is this reality?"

Jiang Ning nodded: "The woman who dived into the water that I rescued today was this female college student."

Feng Yu's eyes widened in shock: "How is this possible?"

Feng Xue also looked incredulous.

Jiang Ning took a piece of food with chopsticks and said, "So sometimes reality is more magical than stories. Because the devil is in a high position, the woman has changed her name and has been hiding in the small mountain village for more than ten years. Last year, Boss Lu went to investigate and saw that the woman's livelihood was very difficult, so he paired up with her to help her personally. The village chief knew about the woman's situation, but he didn't dare to tell anyone. Boss Lu felt that his relative had a problem and asked repeatedly. The village chief told the truth today. If Boss Lu hadn't performed very well in the past year, the village chief would not dare to say it."

Feng Yu was stunned: "There really is such a thing..."

Jiang Ning sighed for a rare moment: "So, civilization guides people to be good, but there are still bad people in this world. People must have the ability to protect their families. Even if they don't have the strength, they must have the determination and courage to fight to the death."

Feng Yu asked: "Since she escaped, why didn't the woman go home?"

Jiang Ning said: "My family members have changed their phone numbers and moved, so I can't find them."

Feng Yu asked: "Then why don't you report it..."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I don't even have time to hide, how can I dare to shake anyone."

Feng Yu sighed, not knowing what to say.

Feng Xue also looked sad. This person was much more miserable than her.

Feng Yu asked: "Didn't you say you had a daughter? How can your daughter go to school if you hide in the mountains and don't come out?"

Jiang Ning said: "He doesn't go to school. He is still staying at home at the age of eight, and he doesn't have a hukou."

"This……"

Feng Yu was emotionally unstable and wiped his eyes: "This is too pitiful!"

Jiang Ning was no longer calm: "Don't cry!"

It’s okay not to say it.

As soon as Feng Yu said this, his eyes immediately dropped.

She was originally a rational person, but things became different when she became pregnant.

My maternal love has increased significantly recently and I am much more emotional than before.

After hearing this kind of story, how could I bear it?

Feng Xue was okay, he just felt a little sympathetic.

Unlike Feng Yu, who just wiped away her tears.

She grew up under the strange looks of others.

I no longer know what sadness is.

Jiang Ning was so helpless. If he had known this, he wouldn't have said it.

Let’s talk about it after dinner.

Now that’s great, I can’t even eat in peace.

After being comforted for a long time, Feng Yu finally stopped crying.

On Sunday noon, the rain that had been falling for three days finally stopped.

By 3:30 in the afternoon, the sun came out.

The air is fresh after the rain, but the news is not good.

The heavy rain caused a lot of trouble in the countryside.

There are very few rural people in Bei'an. Most of the young people have moved to the city to keep up with the times. Most of the people who remain in the rural areas are elderly people, and most of the houses are old. These old houses have been in disrepair for many years and can withstand snow and wind.

But it couldn't withstand the heavy rain.

A lot of leaks.

Don't talk about houses in the countryside.

Many communities in the county were hit by floods.

The problems in old neighborhoods are not serious, but some new neighborhoods are not so good.

It is common for developers to cut corners these days. The newer the community, the worse the quality of the houses. Many people who live on the top floors have houses that leak like fish ponds. Not only do they suffer from the disaster, but the houses downstairs are also flooded.

Whose responsibility is this?

There was a lot of noise in the Jixiang Garden group.

Some families living on the top floor had leaks.

Let the property management give an explanation.

The property is playing dead.

Several families were filled with indignation and discussed going to petition.

A worker in the farm group forwarded a video. I don’t know which community it was from, but the roof was almost turned into a shower head. Towels, quilts, and basins that could be used to collect or absorb water were all placed on the ground, but they couldn’t stop the water from flowing down.

Still, the downstairs was flooded.

Jiang Ning also carefully checked the roof of his house.

Fortunately, my uncle didn't cut corners.

There is no leak at home.

I went for a walk in the wooded area because the ground was uneven.

There was water accumulation in many places, with puddles of all sizes.

The rabbit also came out and was busy replenishing vitamins.

Jiang Ning saw a huge bird's nest on a tree fork and immediately became interested. He grew up in the city and had never robbed a bird's nest when he was a child. When he saw such a big bird's nest, he instantly wanted to do it.

But this poplar tree is too tall.

Judging by visual observation, it is at least twenty meters high.

This tree was one of the earliest trees planted last year. It grew to be 40 centimeters thick last year and continued to grow this year. It is estimated that its chest and shank are more than 50 centimeters long. The trunk is very thick, and the bird's nest is built on a fork at the top of the tree.

It is at least seven or eight floors above the ground, so it is a bit difficult to climb.

Jiang Ning changed his mind and called his uncle.

Ask the workers to bring a pair of tree climbing footrests.

After waiting for a while, a Corolla drove over.

Chen Xuefeng personally delivered the foot pedals to him.

He took out the footrest from the trunk and asked him, "What are you doing in the tree?"

Jiang Ning pointed and said, "There's a bird's nest over there. I'll go up and take a look."

Chen Xuefeng was speechless for a moment.

How old are you? You still have to climb trees and rob bird nests.

Then he came under the tree, looked up, and said, "It's a crow's nest."

As Jiang Ning fastened his seat belt, he said, "Isn't this a magpie's nest?"

Chen Xuefeng said: "Magpies are rare in Bei'an, most of them are crows."

Jiang Ning fastened his seat belt and put on his footrests.

Start climbing a tree.

The footrests are two large semicircular iron rings that can be fixed on the feet.

Put it on the tree and it can hold the person in place.

Just go up alternately and you can climb straight up.

It is a common tool for climbing work.

This is what electricians use to climb telephone poles.

The farm pedals are specially made; telephone poles are not that thick.

"Be careful!"

Chen Xuefeng stood under the tree and shouted out of concern.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Jiang Ning climbed up enthusiastically without even looking back.

He quickly climbed two-thirds of the way up, but the closer he got to the treetops, the thinner the branches became. They were not as thick as those at the bottom, and the footrests were a bit large, so they were not easy to fix. He simply removed the footrests, held the trunk with both hands, and pushed the trunk with both feet.

Alternating hands and feet, climbing up.

The bottom is too thick, so it's hard to put enough strength when hugging the tree.

It's only 20 to 30 centimeters above, so it's very convenient to climb the tree.

"Be careful!"

Chen Xuefeng was watching from below with trepidation and shouted quickly.

If you fall from such a height, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Even though he's already this old, he's still so worrying...

Jiang Ning responded, he was in good physical condition.

Soon we were approaching the treetops.

There are too many tree forks here and the seat belts get in the way.

Jiang Ning grabbed the tree fork with one hand and unbuckled his safety belt with the other.

Then he jumped up like a monkey. Although the many tree forks were quite troublesome, it also made climbing the tree more convenient.

The only trouble is that the branches become thinner as you get closer to the treetops.

The tree was seriously insufficient to bear the weight, and with over a hundred pounds of flesh hanging on it, the treetop was swaying from side to side.

He swung back and forth as well.

Chen Xuefeng's heart was in his throat as he watched from below.

He also took out his mobile phone to take a video and sent it to the farm group.

Let everyone see how small the boss is.

When the workers saw the boss climbing a tree, they all asked him what he was doing.

Chen Xuefeng replied: "Robbing a bird's nest."

Then the group became lively.

Xu Wenjing was the first to ask, "How old are you? Why are you still robbing bird nests?"

Someone answered: "I robbed bird nests when I was seven or eight years old, but I stopped when I was twelve and entered junior high school."

Some people also said: "There is no age limit for robbing bird nests, otherwise why would there be old children?"

Everyone was talking at once, just having fun.

Of course, some people are worried: "It's too dangerous to climb so high."

So he forwarded the video to Jiang's father and mother.

So when Jiang Ning finally climbed to the bird's nest, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

No time to answer.

I leaned my head over to look into the bird's nest, and inside were several baby birds the size of my niece's fist.

It was furry and too small to tell what kind of bird it was.

I poked it with my finger and saw a few young birds opening their little yellow beaks and chirping.

I thought it was its mother coming to feed it!

Jiang Ning caught one, played with it for a few seconds, and then put it back.

There is no intention to catch it.

He would not harm such an innocent life. He looked at it for a while before taking out his cell phone.

Not to answer the phone.

But to shoot video.

A missed call from my mother.

Jiang Ning ignored him, unlocked his phone with one hand and took several videos.

Then he put the phone away and slid down the tree trunk.

Chen Xuefeng waited under the tree until he saw him land.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Ning showed him the video he had taken and asked, "Can you tell what kind of bird it is?"

Chen Xuefeng only took one look and judged: "Crow."

It's a pity for Jiang Ning, why isn't he a magpie?

In the minds of Bei'an people, magpies represent auspiciousness.

Crows are not very auspicious.

Otherwise, why would there be such a saying as a crow's mouth?

Let my uncle do his work and continue to patrol the territory.

By the way, I called Jiang Ma back.

He was nagged by his mother.

You are so grown up now. You will become a father by the end of the year.

He even tried to learn to climb trees from others. It's so worrying.

Jiang Ning responded with a few snorts, feeling a little unhappy.

I parked the car on the side of the road and called my uncle: "Uncle, have you told my mother?"

Chen Xuefeng decisively denied: "I didn't say that."

Jiang Ning asked: "Then how did my mother know that I climbed trees?"

Chen Xuefeng said: "I took a photo and sent it to the group. I guess someone told your mother!"

Jiang Ning couldn't complain about his elders.

After hanging up the phone, I opened the group chat and saw that it was still lively!
Everyone was discussing the significance of the boss climbing a tree and robbing a bird's nest.

I scrolled up and saw hundreds of messages.

Jiang Ning didn't really care, he was just annoyed that someone told his mother about it.

I sent a message in the group: "Who filed the complaint?"

The group fell silent instantly.

Upstairs in the office building.

Xu Wenjing's eyelids twitched, and she felt something was not right.

You will automatically find your seat.

After a few seconds, someone sent a voice message.

I clicked on it and found out it was a message from my cousin: "It's either your eldest aunt or your youngest aunt. Who else but them would complain to your mother?"

My aunt sent an emoticon.

My aunt also sent an emoticon.

No clarification.

This is the default.

Jiang Ning had a toothache and he was also suspicious.

Those distant relatives, who has nothing better to do than send messages to his mother.

I guess he didn’t even add me on WeChat!

Only my aunt and uncle had nothing to do so they sent WeChat messages to his mother to gossip about him.

No denial, that's acquiescence.

Jiang Ning sent another message: "Aunt and Aunt will not give out bonuses at the end of the year."

My aunt made a sweaty expression.

My aunt sent a tearful emoji.

The group became lively again, and my uncle-in-law jumped out: "You deserve it."

My aunt sent an angry emoticon.

Jiang Ning was instantly happy, they are still a couple!

Upstairs in the office building.

Xu Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief. She was so scared that she thought her second sister was nagging her brother-in-law.

It's not about feelings!

It turned out that he had complained to Karl Lagerfeld.

After sending the message, Jiang Ning put away his phone and drove away.

When we drove to the north gate, the wilderness turned visibly green.

This rain came just in time.

The dust in the air was washed away, and the wilderness felt much fresher.

After the tenacious weeds of life absorb enough water, they seize the time to grow new shoots.

Some saplings, all poplar saplings, were planted sparsely on a few plots of land owned by Wenzhou people.

Most have already grown leaves, but the trees are too small.

I don’t know how many years it will take for it to grow up.

I saw a drilling team digging a well before, but I don’t know if they got any water.

Jiang Ning took a walk and went to the office building.

When I arrived at the office building, I found that Lao Yang had arrived.

In an organization like the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, there isn't really much to do except drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Jiang Ning had a chat with the old man.

The old man told me a little gossip: "The county held a team meeting yesterday. I don't know what they discussed, but it was said that the boss got very angry and slammed the table and scolded the team members. I guess something happened again."

Jiang Ning told him about Jiang Yuling.

Old Yang was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Ning asked him: "You haven't heard of it?"

Lao Yang shook his head: "I haven't heard of it. This is really... No wonder the boss is angry."

Jiang Ning nodded: "I will go to the United States at the end of the month, please take care of my family."

The old man said happily: "Go ahead!"

Jiang Ning hummed, then felt something was wrong.

Why does this sound wrong?

It's too easy to cause misunderstanding.

After sitting in the office for a while, it was already half past five when I returned to the farm.

Feng Xue was cooking and Feng Yu was helping.

Feng Yu looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Jiang Ning asked: "What kind of look is that?"

Feng Yuruo said nonchalantly: "Let me see if you are wet."

Jiang Ning said: "The sun is out, and I didn't jump into the river, so how could I be wet?"

Feng Yu said, "That's fine."

"wrong!"

Jiang Ning became excited: "The way you looked at me just now was not right. There must be something wrong."

Feng Yu still didn't admit it: "You think too much."

Jiang Ning was very sure: "I'm not overthinking it. You must be hiding something from me. Tell me, what is it?"

Feng Xue couldn't hold it back anymore and smiled first.

But her back was turned to Jiang Ning, so Jiang Ning didn't see it.

Feng Yu couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "How old are you? Why are you still climbing trees and robbing bird nests?"

Jiang Ning looked as if it was not what I expected, and asked, "How did you know? Did Xu Wenjing tell you?"

Feng Yu immediately denied: "No."

Jiang Ning had a look on his face that said "Don't lie to me". "You're lying. You're not in the farm group. Apart from Xu Wenjing, who else would tell you this? Would your aunt or younger aunt tell you this?"

Feng Yu said helplessly: "You know everything and still ask, don't tell Wen Jing, I promised her not to tell you."

Jiang Ning was speechless: "What kind of brain is this? What is the relationship between us..."

Feng Yu hit him and said, "Don't say such harsh words."

Two days later, an even more explosive piece of news spread.

Something big happened at Beigou Coal Mine.

Bei'an is dry and rainy. Not only do ordinary people have no awareness of flood prevention, even large enterprises like Beigou Coal Mine have no such awareness. Who could have thought that it would rain so heavily in Bei'an, just like the people in the sheep farm could not have thought that it would snow in Guangzhou.

There is no such awareness.

There are no flood control measures.

A mountain torrent rushed down and directly rushed into the mining area.

The people on the ground had enough time to evacuate, but the workers below the mine did not have time to fall out. A few workers in the shallow shafts managed to escape, but three miners in the deepest inclined shaft failed to fall out in time.

The mountain torrents flooded the well.

Life and death do not know.

They want to cover up the coal mines, but how is it possible?

After the news spread among the workers' families, it soon reached the county.

So, the public security, procuratorate and courts came together.

There is also an emergency rescue team, but we can take a look at the mine.

The rescue team was also at a loss.

The well was filled with mud and people couldn't get down at all.

In the afternoon, Mother Jiang made some wild mushroom slices and invited the whole family to eat.

Feng Xue also gave face and went over with them.

Not in Building No. 6, but in Building No. 16.

Dad Jiang bought a house in Building No. 16 and complained that the decoration was not good enough.

I asked someone to take it off and reinstall it.

The house was installed a long time ago and has been left out for more than a month.

I just moved in recently and today I started cooking.

Everything in the house is new, from electrical appliances to furniture.

Each of the two daughters-in-law gave 100,000 yuan as a settling-in fee to buy furniture and electrical appliances.

The house is not big, with two bedrooms.

The old couple doesn’t need a house that is too big, a two-bedroom apartment is enough.

There is no division and the family is harmonious.

If you want to live at your son's house, then live there. If you don't want to live there, then go back to your own home for a few days. In short, as long as the problem of lack of money is solved, the unhappiness and unhappiness in life will be reduced by more than half.

Feng Xue is good at cooking and his noodles making is just average.

Mother Jiang is not as good at cooking as Feng Xue, but she is good at making noodles.

After all, more than ten years of hard work were not in vain.

The wild mushroom and pork slice soup with rice is especially delicious.

Because there are many people in my family, even though the house is small.

But Dad Jiang still bought a large dining table that can accommodate the whole family for dinner.

Same as Jiang Ning’s dining table in Room 301.

When there are fewer people, it can be folded up to become a table for six.

If there are a lot of people, we can pull it into a round table, where ten people can squeeze in and sit.

Mother Jiang prepared six cold dishes, which was quite a sumptuous meal.

The meal was served and eight people, big and small, gathered around the table to eat.

Mother Jiang also talked about the Beigou Coal Mine and sighed for a long time.

One of them who didn't escape was a relative of an old relative.

Zhang Yulan said: "Your uncle Wang asked me several times to arrange for you to work on a farm. He said that coal mines are unsafe and you might die if something goes wrong. I didn't expect that he would be right."

Jiang Ning complained: "This is not a bad mouth!"

Feng Yu agreed in his heart but didn't dare to show it.

Jiang Hua didn't care and echoed: "Some things can't be said casually."

Jiang Youxin said: "Why didn't you ask?"

Zhang Yulan was annoyed: "I can't even take care of my own relatives, so how can I take care of my relatives' relatives? You are a good old man, and you push all the crooked things into the farm. Look at your relatives, is there any good one?"

Jiang Youxin lowered his head to eat and said nothing more.

Speaking of this, he really has no confidence.

There are relatives on both sides. Although there are some bastards among the Zhang family's relatives, such as the cousin from my aunt's grandmother's family, they are only a few and have been driven away. Even if the rest are shameless, at least they are not embarrassing.

The Jiang family’s relatives are different.

Or they cannot be said to be relatives of the Jiang family, but rather relatives of Jiang Dad. Jiang Dad alone cannot represent the Jiang family. In other words, they are relatives from Grandma Qining's maternal side, and cousins ​​from Jiang Dad's uncle's and aunt's sides, all of whom were stuffed to the farm by Jiang Dad.

Some who thought the salary was too low ran away.

There are some people who don't work hard and are lazy.

There are also people who complain all day long and are full of resentment.

In short, there are not many people who are willing to work hard.

No wonder Jiang Ma looks down on her.

Compared to Jiang's father who is soft-hearted, although Jiang's mother is a woman, she can distinguish between public and private affairs. It's not that she won't help relatives, but she has to decide how to help. It's okay to arrange for relatives to work on the farm to earn a salary, but they can't be greedy.

The family property belongs to one's son.

How can a mother be so ungrateful?

Not to mention distant relatives.

They are Jiang Ning's biological sisters, Jiang Ning's aunts and Jiang's mother. They remind them every now and then to work hard and not cause trouble for their son, so she got the nickname "Old Buddha". It seems that it was Jiang Ning's aunt who gave it to her.

During a dinner party once, my aunt Zhang Yufang joked that my second sister looked very much like Empress Dowager Cixi.

Hence the nickname "Karl Lafayette".

Then it spread to the farm.

When the farm workers talk about Mother Jiang, they all affectionately call her Old Buddha.

And he called her that openly in the group.

Even Xu Wenjing has gotten used to this name.

Not to mention everyone else.

I just mention other people's affairs, and no one pays too much attention.

Jiang Ning was more concerned about: "Dad, how much money have you saved?"

Jiang Youxin suddenly stopped talking: "Not much?"

Jiang Ning asked: "How much is not much?"

Jiang Youxin said: "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Ning said, "I'm just curious. I'm not after your retirement money. Why don't you tell me?"

Jiang Youxin grinned: "Don't ask."

Jiang Ning still didn't give up and asked Jiang's mother: "Does mom know?"

Zhang Yulan said: "I don't know."

Jiang Ning looked at his father, then at his mother, and suddenly he sighed: "I suddenly feel that people can't have too much money, otherwise they will lose their family affection and even have to be on guard against their sons. Didn't I give you money for your retirement?"

Zhang Yulan said: "Don't talk nonsense, why should I be on guard against you!"

Jiang Ning said, "Then tell me how much money my father has saved."

Zhang Yulan glared at him and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

Jiang Hua just focused on eating and pretended not to hear.

Chen Huiru pricked up her ears, but unfortunately she didn't hear the answer.

Feng Yu held back his laughter and pulled Jiang Ning under the table several times.

Zhang Yulan originally wanted to have a daughter as her second child, but ended up giving birth to Jiang Ning, who was a worry. When she was carrying a heavy burden, she had no right to feel sad, but now that she has a good life, she often envies other people who have daughters.

He goes back to his mother's home to visit from time to time, and is much more caring than his son.

A daughter-in-law is still a daughter-in-law after all, the emotions are different.

But looking at Feng Xue, she felt that she looked very much like the daughter she imagined.

This has been going on for a while.

I had this idea ever since I met Feng Xue.

Therefore, Zhang Yulan treats Feng Xue no worse than her other daughters-in-law. She serves food to Feng Xue more times than to her two daughters-in-law combined. Feng Xue may also be able to feel how good Jiang Ma is to her.

So this time I was very considerate and came to eat.

She is also slowly trying to integrate into the new family.

In fact, no one in the family treated her as an outsider.

Only she always feels like an outsider.

But it is obvious that Feng Xue has been slowly trying to change recently.

This is a good sign.

After dinner, Feng Xue helped Jiang Ma clean up.

Mother Jiang didn't hesitate to ask her for help.

There is no need to be polite as a family.

Be polite, be polite. You should only be polite to guests.

A family should act like a family. For example, Jiang's mother often complains that her husband is too lazy and never goes into the kitchen, no matter whether he is old or young. This changed after Jiang Ning came back, so the only people she nagged were Jiang's father and Jiang Hua.

This is a family.

Being polite to each other does not make you a family.

That is a psychological rejection.

Zhang Yulan recently suddenly realized and understood this truth.

So Feng Xue helped to clean up and she didn't hesitate.

After cleaning up, I took a break and went downstairs for a walk.

The two pregnant women had to walk after dinner every day.

After staying on the farm for a long time, it’s actually quite boring.

It’s actually quite nice to go back to the community occasionally to feel the hustle and bustle.

After dinner, there were many people in the community, and those who could come down came down to move around.

Most of them are grandparents with protective gear.

Zhang Yulan is now a prominent figure in the community. Many people know that her son is the owner of Xianling Farm, so there are many people who compliment her and say nice things to her. When she introduces her son to others, she gets even more envy.

More popular than the two daughters-in-law.

It was getting dark when Jiang Ning and the other two returned to the farm.

The next day I went to the office building.

Before I could even sit down, Kong Fangfei came in.

Holding several documents and a pile of bills.

The weather is starting to get hot again.

This woman seems to know how to show her charm. She wore pants before, but now she is not wearing any pants at all. She is wearing a professional suit with a suspender jacket on top. She looks sexy and charming, and her two long legs are too eye-catching.

But Jiang Ning had no time to appreciate it.

Seeing that Kong Fangfei looked unhappy, he asked, "What's wrong with your sour face?"

Kong Fangfei said: "The manufacturer's appraisal results are out."

Jiang Ning asked: "What's going on?"

Kong Fangfei said: "The manufacturer said there was a problem with the farm's electricity, which caused the battery fire."

Jiang Ning thought he had heard it wrong: "Is there a problem with the farm's electricity?"

Kong Fangfei nodded, "Yes, those bastards don't even know how to find excuses to shirk responsibility. I specifically asked them, and they said there was no problem with charging on the farm. I also bought their charger. Now that there's a fire, they're blaming the farm's electricity for the problem. I just scolded the customer service. I was just about to ask the insurance company whether they would compensate for it!"
