Chapter 251 Breakthrough
"Haha, stop pretending, I have long felt that something is wrong! Youzi is growing taller and stronger at this age. If you feed him good food and drink every day, will he be so thin now?"
Sister-in-law Meng pointed at Aunt Zhang, "And the clothes he wears are always the same few thin ones. What's the matter, the money we all gave you is not enough to buy him some clothes?"
"What are you saying? If he doesn't put on weight, can you blame me? If I don't eat enough, he'll drink too much. But he's born thin, so he can't put on weight!"
Aunt Zhang looked like she had been wronged. Apart from her initial guilty conscience, she now showed no signs of timidity.
"What about the clothes?" Osmanthus asked.
"Clothes...the clothes are clothes that he likes to run around every day. He often runs around and is sweaty. He feels uncomfortable wearing thick clothes, and the new clothes will get dirty. It's not easy for me to wash them." Aunt Zhang explained, "You said that I
When you are old and live frugally, wouldn’t the savings be given to Dafu!”
"It's true, but what about the bracelet on your hand?" Sister-in-law Meng suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed.
Aunt Zhang was stunned and subconsciously shrank her hand back.
"What did you say..." She looked away.
"Stop hiding it. We've all seen it. That bracelet of yours costs a lot of money, right? You're saying you're frugal at your age, but you're secretly wearing gold and silver. Who are you dressing up like this for?"
Maybe...it's for wanderers, right? Hahaha..."
Osmanthus bent down and smiled.
The people around me who were watching the joke also laughed.
Aunt Zhang hid a little slower, and some sharp-eyed people still saw the touch of green on her wrist. The bracelet that was waiting for water was not an ordinary thing, and it couldn't be bought without a high price.
Is this what he calls frugality?
"What's wrong with buying a bracelet? This bracelet of mine is used as a family heirloom. When Dafu gets married, I will pass it on!" Aunt Zhang still refused to admit it.
"I heard yesterday that a lady from a wealthy family drove a carriage to deliver clothes, bedding and supplements to you and Youzi." Guihua said suddenly, "You can find excuses to fool Youzi as he has clothes and food on him.
, but you can’t fool around with where he lives, right? I’m asking you, do you dare to let us guys go in and take a look at the wanderer’s room!”
After Osmanthus finished speaking, everyone could visibly see that Aunt Zhang's face changed.
What it means to turn pale in an instant is the most complete and intuitive reflection in her.
"Look, what are you looking at? I can't understand what you are talking about." Aunt Zhang looked away, trying to close the door, "I think you are just here to cause trouble, I am too lazy to tell you more."
"Ah, isn't this the wanderer back?"
Someone shouted on the street, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I saw the wanderer, still wearing the same clothes he usually wore, walking out of a corner. He came alone, with no one else around him.
But everyone knows that he may have been sent to this area, otherwise he would run so far every day, and it would not be easy to find him back the same way.
"Look, it's cold today, and Youzi is still only wearing a thin coat with patches! If Zhang Lixiang really loves Youzi so much, how could she be willing to let her child dress like this?"
Sister-in-law Meng raised her voice when she saw her.
Passers-by felt something was wrong when they saw this.
There are some things that people usually don’t think about because they have nothing to do with them and there is no reason to doubt other people’s behavior.
But after someone raised questions, they thought about it and felt that there were many unreasonable things.
Yes, there are still many kind-hearted people in the city, and they often send some clothes and food to tourists. Some of the clothes are new and some are old, but they are all based on everyone's wishes.
Even if they are old clothes, they are much more respectable than the ones Aunt Zhang gave him.
But it's been half a year, and the clothes you wear seem to be relatively shabby, and you've always been so thin, and it doesn't look like you're being treated well at all.
"That's right, something is wrong."
"She wears a jade bracelet herself, but she lets her son wear it like this."
"Isn't it true? She wears a small coat herself, but she wears unlined clothes for her son?"
"It's probably a ghost."
"If you're not your own mother, you're not good enough. You're such a pitiful wanderer."
Everyone couldn't help but whisper.
Aunt Zhang's face darkened when she saw this, "Sister-in-law Meng, Osmanthus fragrans, we have been neighbors for many years. I won't care about you coming here today to provoke you, but don't go too far. Although I am a widow, I can't tolerate it."
Someone made such a rumor about me!"
There was threat in her eyes.
"Okay, you want it to be easy for us to leave, as long as you let us go to the Youzi's room and see how it is decorated. Do you think this is right?" Suddenly a young man shouted from the street.
As soon as he opened his mouth, more people followed suit and shouted——
"That's right."
"right!"
“That’s right, you’ll find out when you go and take a look!”
Sister-in-law Meng laughed, and without looking at Aunt Zhang's darkened face, she pushed the half-closed door open with one force, and pulled Guihua to rush in.
"Stop! What are you doing! Report to the officer, someone is breaking into a house!"
Aunt Zhang screamed.
But it's no use.
Not only Mrs. Meng, but also some passers-by who were keen on eating melons followed them.
"You people who have killed a thousand swords, what are you doing! Stop, stop!"
Aunt Zhang kept screaming and howling, but she couldn't stop so many people.
One of the passers-by even jogged to pull the wanderer over and brought him to Zhang's house together.
"You guys can go too. It seems to be going very well so far. It will proceed as planned."
When Jiang Chu saw this, his heart dropped.
The biggest change in this incident was actually the passers-by.
Jiang Chu originally thought that Aunt Zhang had done a good job in business over the years. Everyone had a good reputation for her and many people praised her. If Sister Meng and Sister-in-law raised questions today, the passers-by would not believe what they said and instead stood firmly with Zhang.
Auntie's side, things will be a lot more troublesome later on.
I just didn't expect that I was overthinking it. Although Aunt Zhang is popular, everyone's trust in good people is not that high.
On the contrary, if a good person does something wrong, everyone will be even more angry and angry.
If you put it this way, maybe the matter can be settled early.
Jiang Chu got off the carriage and asked the driver to drive the three people from his family towards Aunt Zhang.
The carriage stopped at Aunt Zhang's house, and then under the gaze of many passers-by, three people from the same family got out of the carriage.
"Zhuo Lang, is this where our son lives now?"
