After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 392: Keep Guests Again
Bai's mother didn't know what her mother was thinking, but she knew that she also had someone she wanted to protect.
She didn't want to see the two families become enemies because of the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, so asking one more question would make her feel more at ease.
She immediately stood up and said, "In that case, we have bothered you for a long time today, so we will take our leave first!"
"Don't you want to stay for a quick meal? I'll ask them to prepare dinner!" Jiang's father quickly stood up to stop them.
He saw that his daughter's attitude had finally softened today, so how could he bear to let her go so easily!
But he also knew in his heart that it was extremely difficult to use this excuse the first time, and it would be even more impossible to use it the second time.
Although Jiang's mother was reluctant, she had to stand up and said something to help her daughter, not wanting her to be the one who repeatedly refuses the kindness of her elders.
"Forget it. It's getting late today and it will take you some time to get back to the village. If you go back too late, it will be unsafe on the road."
"Your father is also anxious. It won't be too late to invite your in-laws when we move to Dayang Village someday."
Bai Qingyun also smiled and said, "Grandpa Jiang is the teacher of the brothers. We will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Please don't bother us when the time comes."
"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I'll be happy if you come to see us two old people more often!" Jiang's father knew that the other party was trying to give him a way out, so he went along with it.
At least today's meeting was not like the previous ones, which did not even have a good ending.
The mood of the two families can at least change from cloudy to sunny, and not be gloomy all the time.
When he reached the gate of Jiang's residence, he just happened to see Jiang Fu who came back hurriedly from outside. From the faint joy on his old face, he thought that the silver note must have been found.
They exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving the Jiang family.
…………
The Jiang Mansion was still the small courtyard prepared for Bai's mother.
As soon as the Bai family left, the servants quickly cleaned up the courtyard and removed the makeshift dining table.
This is because both masters of the house have instructed that the young lady's yard must be kept clean and tidy at all times.
Under the shade of a tree in the yard, Jiang's mother sat on the swing, tiptoeing on the ground, pushing it occasionally.
"You are not young anymore, you should take care of your health. Is that swing safe?"
Although Jiang's father blamed him verbally, his eyes were narrowed with joy. It was obvious that his wife's illness had a chance of being cured, which made him very happy.
Jiang's mother glared at him angrily and said, "If I don't wake up again, you will push Hui Niang away again."
"Has the medicine Qingyun has ever taken appeared in Jishidiang?" Jiang's mother asked again.
Although she was in charge of the inner courtyard, she didn't know much about the Jiang family's business.
When Jiang's father took over the Jishidiang in three states, he was also very ill and confused, and could not say that he understood anything.
"Of course not. If there was, I would have given it to you long ago!" Father Jiang was completely unaware that his wife on the swing was already showing dissatisfaction in her eyes.
When I reacted, I heard the other party's cold voice: "Of course I know if there is any medicine for curing the disease, I'm asking about the potion in the bottle!"
"Oh, I haven't heard of that interrogation potion either. If it existed, those people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice would have broken down the Jiang family's door long ago!" Jiang's father hurriedly approached to comfort her, standing behind her and gently pushing her back at the Butterfly Valley.
The swing suddenly swung in a larger arc, causing the surrounding air to circulate, and a soft whistle of joy was heard.
"Yes, if Jishidiang really had this ability, I don't think they would have let that old witch send people to look for the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum."
Jiang's mother squinted her eyes, feeling the clear sound of the wind in her ears. It was a pleasure she had not experienced in many years. Her mood also became much more cheerful, not as dull as before.
"But your husband is really cruel. The Divine Doctor Valley provides a large amount of rare medicinal herbs every year, but he doesn't even give a single bit to save his wife of many years."
Father Jiang paused for a moment, then continued as usual, "He only cares about living a few more years. I'm afraid he's hoping that the old witch will move away sooner!"
"That's true. However, the Divine Doctor Valley has been able to survive for many years, which shows that he has some skills. Otherwise, he should have retired and enjoy his old age." Jiang's mother closed her eyes and said casually.
Seeing my wife gossiping with me about other people's family affairs, as if she was talking about other people's family affairs, my heart was hurt for a moment, but fortunately, it was only for a moment.
"He... must be reluctant to give up the power of the Jiang family, so he naturally wants to enjoy it more." Jiang's father thought of the stack of papers today and asked his wife, "Now it seems that the second branch can't stand either."
"The number of families he has caused to be torn apart is enough to get him fired. It will be difficult for the Jiang family to keep him. At a critical moment, they may have to abandon him and let those illegitimate sons take over."
Mother Jiang opened her eyes and glanced at Father Jiang from the corner of her eyes: "The reason why Hui Niang forced me to do this was closely related to the Second House. It just so happens that the old witch is seriously ill, so I will give her a big gift before she dies. It can also be regarded as revenge for my son's wandering in the countryside for so many years!"
"As for the mistakes we made over the years, please forgive us slowly in the future!"
His sharp eyes suddenly opened and shot straight into Jiang's father's eyes. It seemed as if this man, for the sake of the illusory father-son relationship, wanted to kill the other person with his eyes.
Father Jiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I am that kind of person!"
Suddenly he thought of something and quickly changed his words, "I have been extremely disappointed with that father for so many years. In the future, I just want to live with you two."
"I will sort out the evidence Jiang Si signed, except for the one related to Hui Niang, and send it to Kyoto."
"He will have to go to Bingzhou for a while. When he returns to Kyoto, my old and confused father will have investigated all this. Jiang Si is doomed to die. He cannot stand betrayal."
"I'm afraid... he will suppress the evidence of the second branch's crime and still maintain the Jiang family's reputation. However, if this happens, the old witch may not live until this winter."
"I'm afraid that Jiang Si was silenced and then the news came out that the old lady was seriously ill and died."
"Yes!" Jiang's mother was obviously very satisfied with this arrangement, and her tone softened a little: "Don't worry, the one from the second room is doing well because he has a good mother to protect him. Once the old witch dies, he will be abandoned sooner or later."
"I remember that before I left, I arranged for Jiang Da to handle the family business in Kyoto. It should be finished by now, right?" Jiang's mother asked.
Jiang Da was the servant who had originally hired the old doctor. He was later valued by Jiang's father and mother. His mother fell ill and died after a few years of recuperation. He then worked in the Jiang family with his younger brother for the rest of his life. Even his surname was given to him by Jiang's mother.
He said that they brothers didn't even know their father's surname, so it would be better for them to follow the Jiang family and become retainers.
As for the name, I don’t ask for anything special, just a simple name that is easy to raise.
In the end, Jiang's mother just called them Jiang Da and Jiang Er casually. They were not like the nicknames in the countryside and were simple and easy to remember.
Obviously, Jiang's mother's original decision was correct. Now that the two brothers have started their own families, they are still working for the Jiang family.
