After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

The old man opposite Bai's mother did not expect that the young lady would recognize him. He was unexpectedly moved and said, "Hey, did the young lady enjoy drinking the Longjing tea before the rain?"

Unconsciously, the originally kind voice began to become a little hoarse due to crying.

Jiang Fu is probably the greatest wealth that the head of the Jiang family left for his eldest son.

Since he was young, because there were too many people in his family and they couldn't even afford to eat, he was simply thrown on the street in his swaddling clothes.

At that time, Jiang's father followed the head of the Jiang family to inspect Jishidiang, and Jiang Fu was just casually thrown onto the uncultivated wasteland.

His family didn't even expect him to survive, and they didn't even want to give up the position on the roadside where he was most likely to be adopted.

At that time, Jiang's father had just been born. Despite his young age, he was calm and polite. He could even hear the faint cry of a baby amid the noisy sound of the carriage wheels.

After being rescued, the head of the Jiang family originally wanted to send someone to send him to the Valley of Divine Doctors. The Jiang family could afford to support such a person, and they really needed people with such a background.

They have been raised by the Jiang family since childhood and will be the most loyal candidates in the future. This is beneficial for the future family layout.

The problem of having no family is also easy to solve. Arrange a family to be adoptive parents. It is easy to find them among the large family, and these adoptive parents will also become a bond between them and the family.

It will also be easier to control.

But Jiang's father knew that without the protection of his biological mother, the baby in swaddling clothes would not be able to protect himself or resist, and might not be able to grow up safely.

So he begged Master Jiang to keep him in Kyoto.

At that time, Jiang's father's biological mother had passed away not long ago. The head of the Jiang family still felt guilty towards Jiang's father, and he also knew the importance of training a capable person for his son.

Since he was five years old, Jiang Fu has been following his father and making a living under the harsh treatment of his stepmother. During many difficult days, they depended on each other.

Jiang Fu watched his father get married and have children, but he was still lonely. He was married once, but his wife died of childbirth complications, and both mother and daughter left him.

Sometimes I really don’t know why fate chooses to torture those who are suffering.

He also watched Bai's mother grow up. Sometimes when Jiang's father and mother were not around, he would always be by her side.

He remembered Bai's mother's preferences more accurately than he remembered Jiang's father and mother's preferences.

To a certain extent, he also treated Bai's mother as his own daughter and took care of her carefully.

The capable man who was sent to Jiangnan to look for tea was Jiang Fu.

Bai's mother could be cold to Jiang's father and distant to Jiang's mother, but she could not remain calm towards the person who had taken care of her and brought her up and had never treated her unfairly.

Bai Qingyun didn't know the ins and outs of this. If she hadn't asked specifically on the way home, she might not have focused her attention on an old housekeeper of the Jiang family.

But she didn't know what to do, she still noticed that Bai's mother's body was trembling slightly. She bit her lips tightly and stared at the gray-haired person in front of her, not daring to speak.

I am also afraid that once I open my mouth, the emotions I have hidden inside will become like a flood that breaks through a dam and becomes uncontrollable.

Bai Qingyun's sharp eyes quickly noticed this tiny change, and she hurried over and used her slender little hands to firmly support the somewhat shaky Bai's mother.

As a caring and sweet friend of his mother, Bai Qingyun naturally knew his mother's inner choice at this moment, but the two previous rejections were still ringing in his ears, and his mother was too embarrassed to say that she should stay.

Whenever this happens, the advantage of having children around is immediately apparent. Once the children's innocent words come out, at least you can save face.

Bai Qingyun used that innocent and tender voice again, and said to Bai's mother coquettishly, "Mother, I'm hungry. If it weren't for the snacks that the housekeeper brought, I could have sung a song by now!"

Bai's mother looked at Bai Qingyun, who was grinning and acting like a very hungry person, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were suddenly held back for some reason.

His face was replaced by the usual calmness and composure.

Jiang's father was originally in the officialdom. If he couldn't see such a simple thing, he probably wouldn't be sitting in that position.

Although she felt a little jealous seeing her daughter's undisguised guilt and longing for Jiang Fu, when she thought of all that Jiang Fu had done for her in the past, she could only suppress it in her heart no matter how unwilling she was.

He said calmly, "Since the child is hungry, don't refuse, and don't reject your uncle Fu's kindness."

Now I have to sigh at the unwillingness in my heart. If this kind of guilt can be used, the effect will be good. It is better than this insignificant father.

Seeing Bai's mother nod in agreement, the jealousy in his heart reached its peak, even a little bitter.

He had to face the reality at this moment. He really hurt his daughter deeply.

But he thought of the elixir in the wooden box again, and knew that his daughter still cared about him and his wife, which eased the bitterness in his heart a little.

It’s no wonder that the emotions between parents and children are sometimes really complicated!

He ordered as usual: "Have someone place it in the young lady's yard." Then he thought of the person who was taking a nap: "Have someone wake her up for dinner."

Otherwise, my daughter would finally come home and I wouldn’t be able to see her once.

Knowing that Jiang's mother's illness also concerned her daughter, he couldn't help but say, "Since I saw you at the Bai family's housewarming party last time, she has been awake longer and longer, and can recognize some people in a day."

"It's a rare occasion for you to come here..." He really wanted to say, the antidote to your mother's illness is you.

So, can you come home more often?

But such a despicable idea was soon replaced by reason, and he decided to use his old wife's body to win back his daughter who had been heartbroken by him.

He always felt that if he told it out, he would be no different from the person who forced his daughter to sacrifice his own future.

He was also afraid that he would push his daughter, who had finally gotten close to him, further away.

Realizing this, he had to change the subject and added calmly, "It's a rare visit for you. It would be more comfortable for you to dine in an environment you are familiar with. It just so happens that your mother is tired after taking a nap and it's not suitable for her to walk around..."

"If you have time, you can also go and see if there is anything different about the room's previous furnishings. Then I will..."

Before he could finish, Bai's mother interrupted him and said, "No need, let's have dinner in the yard!"

She was also afraid that if she went into the room to reminisce about the past, given Jiang's father's ability to chat, the three of them would not have to go home today.

Bai's mother also knew in her heart that what the courtyard carried was her childhood.

It would be fine if her heart was still hard, but now, seeing Uncle Fu's eyes begging him to stay, Bai's mother's heart finally softened.

She was afraid that in this state today, she would see the familiar room and recall the past.

It would be fine if it were a happy memory.

But my parents forced me to get married in that room...
