Chapter 269 Uncle
The distance between Rulin Restaurant and Xianglin Inn is actually not that far.
The two streets in the middle only take about 2,000 steps.
Dahuang ran very fast, so Xiaoke could only trot to catch up: "Dahuang, slow down."
Every time she reaches a corner, Dahuang will stop and wait for her for a while.
Xiao Ke was out of breath running, and finally she saw Dahuang stopping in front of Xianglin Inn, wagging his tail there.
"Hey, why are you here again?"
The innkeeper laughed strangely when he saw the rhubarb, but he didn't chase it away this time because Jiang Ling was sitting on the first floor drinking tea.
"Sir, this yellow dog is here again. It's probably because he didn't eat enough of the roast chicken and wants to eat more."
The waiter smiled and said that Jiang Ling was indeed generous and did not pay less. He was also happy to entertain such guests.
"oh?"
Jiang Ling put down his tea cup and looked outside the door. Sure enough, it was Rhubarb again, wagging its tail outside the door.
Why are you here again?
I just got suspicious,
Outside the inn door, an umbrella fell to the ground.
A girl was caught in the rain, staring blankly at the inn and Jiangling.
Jiang Ling looked at the girl and sighed in his heart, this Dahuang actually brought her.
He had no choice but to smile with the girl and shout: "Xiao Ke, you are stupid again. It's raining. Don't get caught in the rain outside. Come in quickly."
The girl rubbed her eyes, and she didn't know whether the drops of water falling on her face were rain or tears.
After standing still for a few seconds, she ran into the inn whimpering, threw herself on Jiang Ling's lap, and hugged his arm: "Uncle..."
Jiang Ling smiled and rubbed her head. Xiao Ke was similar in age to He Xiang, they were both half-grown children: "It's not very auspicious for you to cry like this."
"Uncle, is it really you?"
"Of course it's me, who else could it be?"
"But I finally found you..."
"Okay, get up quickly, don't let anyone see the joke."
Xiao Ke didn't care. She held his arm and kept wiping his tears. While wiping, she talked about why he left without saying goodbye in the first place.
She also said that she and Yue Wei had been looking for him for a long time, from the south to the north. If there was no unrest, they would have decided to go to the capital.
Now I finally met,
Xiaoke complained all her grievances, tears falling down her cheeks, and even talked about how she and the lady almost suffered accidents several times while searching for him.
After hearing this, Jiang Ling did not expect that such two weak women would go through so much in such a short period of time.
By the way, they were running a restaurant in Linzhou County and it was really prosperous for a while.
But later, a direct descendant of the Lin family went to Linzhou County. Seeing that the restaurant was booming, he took over it by force.
Lin Yuewei's family is just a side branch, so of course they can't say anything.
Without the restaurant, she felt lighter. After much thought, she finally decided to take Xiaoke to find her husband.
In this era, before a woman gets married, she relies on her parents.
After getting married, the only person you can rely on is your own man.
Although Jiang Ling was married into the family, as a female, she was born in a branch of the Lin family. No matter how capable she was, the Lin family would never want her to take the lead.
Therefore, when she is vulnerable, the only one she can rely on is her own man.
And without her husband by her side, she would often attract people to gossip.
Occasionally, one or two sentences are enough to repay it. If you listen to it every day, it will be unbearable for people no matter how good their mood is.
Jiang Ling: "Actually, why bother looking for me?"
Xiaoke was dissatisfied: "Uncle, you are the young lady's husband, of course I want to find you."
Jiang Ling nodded.
When he first came to this world, he looked at human relations from the perspective of future generations. He thought that he would play tricks on Lin Yuewei to protect her reputation, and then break up peacefully and live in peace with each other.
But after these days of experience, he also understood the meaning of a marriage to a woman.
In this day and age, getting married is definitely not a child's play, and it is definitely not something that can be separated peacefully just by saying that we both get along.
"Speaking of which, I am ashamed of Yue Wei."
It's not that he doesn't want to be responsible for her, it's just that he knows that it may not be a good idea to take her with him when he travels everywhere.
Although Qingshuang and Hexiang have been following him,
But their situations are different,
Both of them are lonely, with no family or friends, and no one to rely on.
And Lin Yuewei has family, relatives and friends after all.
Xiaoke's eyes were dim with tears, and she suddenly raised her head: "Uncle, do you know that the young lady is being bullied? She has been bullied since she came back here. But no one can help her, and she is still being bullied. Uncle, I
Now I have finally found you. If the young lady knew about it, she would definitely die of joy."
Jiang Ling frowned: "Who bullied her?"
Xiaoke then told what happened just now.
"Back in Linzhou County, I was bullied by my family, and it's still the same now. I want to help the young lady, but... I'm just a maid after all. If I just say a few words, the old man will have someone take care of me.
I'll beat him to death..."
"Where are Mr. Lin and his wife?"
"Master and the others no longer care about Miss. They were dissatisfied with Miss in the first place, but then... later because of my uncle's incident, they became even more dissatisfied with her."
Back then, Jiangling had the identity of a murderer.
It's strange that Mr. Lin looks so good after having such a son-in-law.
'I thought Yuewei would be able to live a good life if she had a family and relatives, but I didn't expect it, and I took it for granted.'
He suddenly stood up, "Where is Yue Wei now?"
Xiao Ke also stood up, wiped away her tears, and pointed in the direction of the Rulin Restaurant: "It's just in front, not far away. Uncle, do you want to see the lady?"
Dahuang was holding Xiaoke's umbrella in his mouth and brought it over.
Jiang Ling took the umbrella, held it in his hand, and pulled Xiao Ke to hide from the rain: "Now that you know your wife is being bullied, how can you just sit back and ignore it?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ke felt excited and pulled her uncle's sleeve tightly.
She always believed in her heart that her uncle was a powerful person. If the young lady had her uncle protecting her, no one would be able to bully her.
Dahuang barked twice and happily led the way, walking very fast.
Jiang Ling and Xiao Ke took umbrellas and left together. At this time, Qing Shuang and He Xiang were watching from the second floor window of Xianglin Inn.
Qingshuang bit her lips lightly with her snow-white teeth, looking at the scene in the rain, she was stunned.
He Xiang also looked at it a few times and didn't know what to say.
They almost all heard what Xiaoke said just now downstairs.
Even though she was a maid from Jiangling, she didn't know until this moment that her husband turned out to be a man with a family.
At this time, she was also afraid that Qingshuang would be sad, so she gently held her hand.
"Sister Qingshuang..."
Qingshuang came back to her senses and smiled softly: "What's wrong?"
Hexiang tried: "Are you... okay?"
Qingshuang pretended to be fine: "What can happen to me?"
He Xiang: "Sir...Mr. He..."
Qingshuang also held her hand and said softly: "No matter what, your husband will not leave us alone, right?"
When it comes to other things, it is difficult to guarantee the fragrance of lotus. But she is certain in her heart, "That's for sure, sir, he is not that kind of person."
Qingshuang: "In this case, we don't need to think too much."
