Chapter 272 The truth is like this
Chapter 272 The truth is this
Cooking took time, and during this period, Jiang Mingan saw that he could not count on his old father, so he had to come forward.
Lu Jinqian didn't expect that his nephew, who used to be quiet, was now good at talking.
Xiaoran was taken to play with corn bone blocks by Lu Yu, so there was nothing he couldn't say.
"...So, uncle, where did my mother's pocket watch come from?"
Lu Jinqian seemed to have heard some ghost story, and it took him a while to calm down. He did not expect that this ghost thing almost killed his brother-in-law.
"Jinlan got this thing from a monk."
Monk?
The three of them looked at each other: it was somewhat related to that story.
"Is that monk from Fahua Temple?" Jiang Mingan asked, frowning.
Lu Jinqian shook his head. He didn't know why his nephew mentioned Fahua Temple. If he hadn't been taken to play there because his second son's family was in Yundian, he wouldn't have known there was a Fahua Temple.
"No, it's Qiongzhu Temple."
At this time, the three of them looked at each other.
Jiang Mingan asked: "Is it the Qiongzhu Temple in Nanxi City?"
"Exactly. When your mother was fourteen, she loved the temple fairs in the first month of the year. At that time, the temple fairs in Qiongzhu Temple were the most prosperous and famous."
Jiang Mingyue calculated that it was only a few years ago at that time, and Nanxi City was a southwest border city, far away from the war. No wonder the aristocratic family compound in Nanxi City could be preserved intact.
"That year there was trouble, your mother was pushed away, and she went back to save an injured young monk. Your mother secretly looked for the doctor. When the monk woke up, he gave this thing to your mother, saying it was as a reward. You
Mom refused and accepted it now. If I had known it would be a disaster, I shouldn't have accepted it then."
"Do you know that little monk's name or his face?"
Lu Jinqian shook his head: "Only my mother and second sister had seen that monk back then."
Jiang Zhengye followed suit and asked, "By the way, where are the father-in-law and mother-in-law?" He didn't dare to see them before, but when he actually entered the yard, it seemed that the mountain in his heart was not so unbearable.
Lu Jinqian's whole body seemed to be frozen by something, with his eyes lowered, he looked like a rickety old man, as if he had aged more than ten years all of a sudden, and was surrounded by heavy sadness.
Jiang Ming'an had a bad premonition and asked for his father: "But what happened to grandpa and grandma?"
Lu Jinqian then raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears and slowly raised his head. His eyes had turned scarlet red at some point.
"After Jinlan left, my mother couldn't bear the blow. She couldn't bear to fall ill when she came back. She passed away half a year later. My father lost his daughter and wife all at once. He couldn't wake up after three days... Wuwu... My family branch
I took people to Qingshan Village to report the funeral. I didn’t want to be beaten out by Xu Feng. I also said that if I dared to come to Qingshan Village to find your big house again, I spread rumors that Xiao Ran was the bastard who stole Jinlan’s life, so that Jinlan would not be allowed to live underground.
An Sheng. After the funeral was over, I was unwilling to accept it and went there in person. Unexpectedly, the old woman went even further. Not only did she want to ruin Jinlan's reputation, she also abused Xiaoran. I, I will never dare to go to Qingshan Village to find you again.
"
Everyone: "..." I didn't expect that there was such a secret.
Jiang Zhengye regretted a little. He was too stupid. He should have been more cautious about his brother-in-law's abnormal attitude. He also blamed himself for wallowing in the past. After Jinlan left, it was as if his soul had been sucked out, which caused harm to both families.
Regardless of birth status, the two children are suffering, and I feel sorry for the two elders. They didn't even attend the funeral, let alone see each other for the last time.
Jiang Zhengye has never regretted anything like now.
A grown man squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying.
As if it was contagious, Lu Jinqian, whose eyes were red before, also squatted on the ground.
The three children who noticed something strange stopped building blocks and stared at the two adults in the yard with confusion and uneasiness.
"Why are they squatting on the ground holding their heads and crying?"
Lu Yu: "Did grandpa lose money? The last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy soy sauce, grandpa had a bad memory. He gave the money but forgot to take the soy sauce. When he went back to find someone, he refused to admit it. This is how grandpa cried when he came back."
Jiang Ran answered: "My father doesn't care about money. He won't cry if the money is lost, unless my brother is angry with him. Did you hear anything just now?"
Lu Yu and Lu Kuan shook their heads at the same time.
Xiao Ran sighed like a young adult: "It must be my brother who said something that deserves a beating again. My brother is like this, the most unpleasant person. Only Brother Xie can endure his bad temper."
Lu Yu asked Xiaoran as if he was curious about a baby: "Who is Brother Xie?"
Xiaoran: "He is a tall and thin brother. He is very good-looking. He also buys toys for me. Last time I bought a green peacock. It looks like a real one. There is a cover under the green peacock's butt.
You can eat colorful pearl candies here, which are so sweet."
After saying that, Xiao Ran licked his mouth, and Lu Yu also licked unconsciously. Lu Kuan: "...what's the use of just saying it? You should bring it to us to try it. Maybe you are bragging?"
Unknowingly, the focus of the three little ones was completely distorted.
Because he had just learned about the death of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Jiang Zhengye couldn't bear it and had no appetite for food.
With Jiang Zhengye acting like this, no one else was interested in eating it. Even Xiaoran, a child, firmly sided with his sister. He didn't smell the aroma or anything like that.
But Du Qinglan had already made it, and they had worked hard to make it. The canned meat that Yun Dian's second son had just sent back, and a piece of bacon he had saved, were all brought out to entertain them, but they couldn't dissuade them, so a few people ate them indiscriminately.
point.
Lu Tiantang and his wife came back and met each other. The group went to the Lu family's grave. Jiang Zhengye took his three children to place tributes and burn incense for the two elders. In this small village, information is not available, even if the higher ups don't do this.
Even though people at the lower levels still have ways to do things, it can be said that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
After going down the mountain and returning to the Lu family again, Jiang Zhengye asked Lu Jinqian and his wife to clear the basket and they were leaving.
Lu Jinqian and his wife were a little hesitant. It was true that the brother-in-law had brought a lot of good things, but their family had nothing to give back to each other, which made them a little embarrassed. Jiang Ming'an smoothed things over.
"I remember that the eggplant glutinous rice dumplings made by my aunt were the most delicious, but I miss them so much. If anything..."
Mainly because of the couple's temperaments, they would feel bad if they didn't take something away.
Eggplant glutinous rice wine? That’s what they have in store.
The couple became more relaxed and said, "Yes, yes, I will bring you a jar."
In fact, he only has one can, but Jiang Mingan is so thick-skinned!
Lu Tiantang made the first move and put the can into their big basket. There was still a gap around it. Lu Tiantang's daughter-in-law Yang Luohua hurriedly brought some straw and filled it in. The two of them tied up their bicycles and said something about what to do later.
If you don't have much time to walk, you'll ride back.
Needless to say, unless you use rocket speed, it will definitely be dark by the time you get home.
The uncle's family did stay over for dinner and the night, but the blow on the uncle's side was huge and it was impossible for him to stay.
Xiao Ran didn't rest for a long time today. When he went back, Jiang Ming'an forced him to put him in front of him. Sure enough, within five minutes of walking out, his little head fell into his arms, and Jiang Ming'an had to use one hand to restrain him.
Already.
"Hey! There seems to be a fight ahead!" Jiang Mingan said. They came through this small road in the morning. They saved a lot of time in the fields. If they took the main road, they would pass through Xiaoshi Commune, which takes more than 20 minutes.
.
A few people stood still, wanting to see what was going on, but after five minutes, they showed no intention of dispersing. Instead, more and more people gathered together, one-on-one turned into groups, and the situation escalated, and they were afraid that they would not be able to disperse for a while.
"Okay, let's take the main road. The main road is wider." Jiang Ming'an took the lead in changing the direction.
Although it is a main road, you can still see the crops growing on both sides. Unlike Qingshan Village, which is half farmland and half mountainous, the landform here is mostly plain, with basically farmland and few mountains. At this time, the farmland is mostly planted with broad beans, and the bean seedlings have some
As high as a hand, radish seeds were sown on the occasional mountainous areas, but only a few inches of seedlings emerged.
In comparison, the crops in Qingshan Village are much richer.
At this time, broad beans, rapeseed, and oats will be grown in farmland. Wheat, radish, bitter greens, potatoes, or peas will be grown in mountainous areas.
I don’t know if it’s not a good time to go out today, so I tried another route, but still encountered people arguing and blocking my way.
Fortunately, the road was wide and it was possible to squeeze through. However, Jiang Mingyue glanced at it and suddenly found that one of them looked familiar.
Look again... isn't that Jiang Beishan?
Jiang Beishan has been investigating Lin Haiyang with Wei Houping during this period. Since her father promised her to Lin Haiyang and took his money, if she wants to cancel the marriage, she must know herself and the enemy to break the situation.
On the first day, they followed Jiang Zhenghui for a long time.
The next day also found nothing.
On the third day, Jiang Zhenghui finally couldn't resist and went to Xiaoshi Commune. What he met was not Lin Haiyang himself, but the president of the commune, Lin. The conversation between the two was very boring. One used power to suppress others, and the other sold his daughter for glory.
Jiang Zhenghui took a large amount of money from the Lin family and left, and it was certain that he would marry his daughter. However, Jiang Zhenghui was thick-skinned and got a benefit for himself. Later, President Lin would use his own connections to arrange Jiang Zhenghui into the under-construction company in Liucun.
Eating public food in the cement factory, Jiang Zhenghui is having a sweet dream. When the time comes, he will hold the monthly dividends from Qingshan Village in his left hand and the salary from the cement factory in his right hand. He will definitely live a more prosperous life than anyone else.
But the Lin family is not taken advantage of and can compromise again and again. There may be something wrong with that son. After all, Jiang Beishan is not a fairy. As a middle-aged man with rich experience, it is impossible for him to not think of this problem, but it seems that others don't care.
Jiang Beishan and Jiang Beishan couldn't get close to President Lin, and they didn't know what they were plotting, but it was definitely not something good, so they set their sights on Lin Haiyang himself.
They didn't find anything at first, but they followed patiently and discovered something fishy.
Lin Haiyang met his doctor by chance. Seeing that there was no one around, the doctor advised him to go to Yundian to seek treatment from a famous doctor in that field, and he would definitely be cured.
After listening in the mist, they didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but this was a clue. The two of them followed this line to investigate. Wei Houping asked his cousin who worked in the hospital to inquire. This inquiry was really inquisitive.
Something came out, and it turned out that Comrade Lin Haiyang was an eunuch. In order to prove himself, he had sex with two people. When he attacked people, he found that he was really not good at it.
After learning the truth, Jiang Beishan found Jiang Zhenghui, told him the truth, and asked him to cancel the engagement.
