Chapter 21 The drowned daughter of the new husband (21)
"Sister Hongxiu, why can't I understand what you are saying? What's wrong with me? What dare you?"
Shi Jiang spread his hands with an innocent face, and then asked.
Seeing her look like this, Jiang Hongxiu suddenly trembled with anger and stepped forward to help Jiang Xiaobao, who was paralyzed on the ground.
He asked in a sharp voice: "Do you think I am blind? If you beat Xiaobao like this, be careful if your parents skin you."
"Tsk, I don't like hearing what you say. What's the matter with you being jealous of me and slandering me? Why did I hit Xiaobao? Xiaobao, tell me, did I hit you, your sister?"
Shi Jiang looked aggrieved and looked at Jiang Xiaobao, but his eyes were cold, just like when he tried to poke his tongue with a stone just now.
Jiang Xiaobao shook violently, then shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, she didn't hit me."
Jiang Hongxiu turned her head to look at Jiang Xiaobao in astonishment, "Xiaobao, what are you afraid of? I'm here. To be honest, we'll let her parents teach her a lesson."
Jiang Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat for a moment, but when he remembered how he had been repeatedly pressed into the water just now, he shook his head even more diligently.
"No, no, I already told you no, why are you so annoyed?"
Jiang Xiaobao didn't know where he got the strength from. After making louder noises, he pushed Jiang Hongxiu away who was supporting him, and then ran home like a fool.
Jiang Hongxiu, who was pushed to the ground by Jiang Xiaobao, was left with her hands on the ground and a look of disbelief on her face.
"Hey, how about it? What do you think of the way you brought trouble to others in the first place, and now it's your own fault? Also, Jiang Hongxiu, you are so courageous. You think that just because of Jiang Xiaobao, you can have someone to support you.
Already?
The scar has really healed and you have forgotten the pain. How about I help you recall the memories?"
Shi Jiang stretched out his fingers and strolled towards Jiang Hongxiu.
Jiang Hongxiu immediately recalled the time when she was beaten violently and almost had her nose cut off by Shi Jiang, and cold sweat started to flow down her back.
When she saw Jiang walking towards her, she didn't dare to beep again, and even rolled and crawled and ran away.
"Pfft, you doll has quite a personality."
Shi Jiang turned around and looked back, only to see an old man with white hair staring at him with interest.
"Don't you think what I just did went too far?" Shi Jiang asked, raising his eyebrows.
The old man looked at her for a long time, smiled and shook his head, "You have to ask yourself whether you are going too far, as long as you have a clear conscience."
Shi Jiang nodded when he heard this and said seriously: "Indeed, as long as you have a clear conscience."
"Haha, interesting, interesting, doll, do you recognize the family named Jiang?"
When the old man saw Shi Jiang's calm demeanor, he liked it very much. He felt that even if he could not find the person he was looking for, it would not be a wasted trip to Zhuang Brigade.
"Jiang? The two siblings just now were named Jiang."
When Shi Jiang heard what he asked, he looked up and down at the old man to confirm that he didn't seem to recognize this person.
"Their surname is Jiang?"
The old man opened his mouth slightly, with some disbelief and confusion on his face.
Suddenly he woke up. He remembered the conversation between the girl in front of him and the siblings, and looked at Shi Jiang carefully.
"What about your surname, Shi? Is your mother the daughter of the Shi family who is in the Zhuang Brigade?"
Shi Jiang was a little surprised when he heard what he asked. Seeing his reaction, he quietly took a step back and nodded.
"Are you really the daughter of that little girl from the Shi family? I am your Grandpa Zhou. I didn't expect that the little girl from the Shi family actually got married and had children. The children are already so old."
Zhou Qingyun happily stepped forward and wanted to hold Shi Jiang's hand, but she dodged him.
Zhou Qingyun was stunned by his failed hand, but he didn't care.
Thinking of the news he had learned at Shangzhuang Brigade, his originally happy expression froze.
"Girl, I'm not a bad person. Your grandfather and I are good friends. My surname is Zhou. Your grandparents separated from me for some reason after they got married. Originally, I wanted to come over to you early, but I didn't expect that something happened at home. It's not easy.
When I heard the news about your grandfather, I didn't expect that things would have changed.
Alas~!”
This girl is so guarded against others getting close to her, she is obviously insecure.
He looked at Shi Jiang with complicated eyes. Thinking of the like-minded friends in his youth, now separated by yin and yang, thinking of the agreement between the two of them, and thinking of Shi Jiang whose temperament was very to his liking, Zhou Qingyun was really sad and happy at the same time.
.
"You said you were good friends with my grandfather, do you have any proof?"
Shi Jiangdao didn't think the other party was lying, but even if he lied, he couldn't deceive her.
Having just learned the news about his old friend's granddaughter, Zhou Qingyun was excited for a moment and his mind wandered. Hearing Shi Jiang's calm question, he nodded and pulled out a jade pendant from his neck.
I saw the word "zhou" engraved on the jade pendant. The shape of the jade pendant looked very familiar to Jiang. It was exactly the same shape as the jade pendant she got from the box on Jiang Fugui's roof, but the words engraved on it were different.
"Do you have any impressions of this jade pendant? Your grandfather and I found a good piece of jade and divided it into two. One piece was engraved with his surname, and the other was engraved with my surname."
Zhou Qingyun touched the jade pendant with some emotion. He had buried this jade pendant in the ground for the past few years and did not dare to take it out.
Unexpectedly, what the two of them thought was fun to play with was actually used as a token. If their friend is still alive, why do they need such proof?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyun's old eyes suddenly filled with tears.
Shi Jiang was speechless. Not long after he was born, Shi's father and his wife passed away.
Even if there is this jade pendant, it is impossible for it to fall into her hands.
Thinking of this, Shi Jiang frowned.
So, if she really drowns as written in the book, then if her family comes to find her this week and uses the jade pendant as a token, who will replace her?
So after her death, Jiang Hongxiu will marry her sweetheart, Song Baolai of Aunt Zhao's family, as she wished next year.
Moreover, Jiang Hongxiu has a smooth journey in City L. It must be because of family reasons this week!
The beads that were originally scattered now seem to have a thread, connecting the front and back together.
Where there is no explanation in the book, this is what happened.
Now that she is still alive and the Jiang family has lost the jade pendant, she wants to see if the Jiang family will be as rich and powerful as written in the book this time.
"I am indeed Shi Xiuzhi's daughter. However, my mother died right after I was born, and my grandparents also passed away one after another. Therefore, I have never seen the jade pendant you mentioned."
Things were going as she expected, and it was coming to an end in just a few days. Shi Jiang didn't want to cause trouble.
"How can it be?"
When Zhou Qingyun heard that Shi Jiang had not seen the jade pendant, he was surprised at first, and then frowned.
He is no longer the careless young man he once was. His experiences over the years have made him immediately come up with many conspiracy theories.
