The newly married reborn cold-faced boss dotes on his delicate wife
Chapter 4 Real and Fake Gold
Jiang Tingxia stood in the bathtub, turned on the faucet, and filled a clean aluminum basin with half a basin of hot water from the boiler room. When the water temperature was right, she poured it over herself. After pouring two or three basins of water, she soaked the towel in her suitcase and scrubbed herself carefully, then applied scented soap and finally rinsed it with water.
After taking a shower, I smell the sweet scent on my body, feeling refreshed and in a better mood.
She picked out a white dress with purple flowers from her suitcase and put it on. As for the old dress that smelled of sweat, she had already thrown it away with her foot in disgust.
She fell on the comfortable big bed again. The agreed three hours had not yet arrived, so she could take a nap. Only then did she notice that there was a phone in the room. Jiang Tingxia almost jumped up from the big bed. The money was well worth it.
She had been away from home for a few days and had not been able to contact her family. She called home, firstly to report that she was safe so as not to worry them, and secondly to ask about the situation at home.
Jiang Tingxia picked up the receiver and cranked the handle a few times. The operator's voice came from the receiver, "Who's calling?"
"Please pick up No. 77, Kangbei Road, Wenhai City."
The person who answered the phone was Jiang Tinghe. "This is the Jiang family mansion. Who are you looking for?"
"It's me, Jiang Tingxia."
When Jiang Tinghe heard Jiang Tingxia's voice, she thought that she had been away for several days and should have gone to that remote place and was preparing to get married.
If she married into the countryside, she would soon become a yellow-faced woman, eating coarse food for every meal, wearing patched clothes. Oh, yes, she would have to live with the rough man she married and give birth to a bunch of crying children. Thinking of Jiang Tingxia's miserable appearance in the future, she felt in a good mood and burst out laughing.
She scoffed, "It's you. There's a phone in that shabby little place?"
Jiang Tingxia was furious. This marriage was obviously hers and she had to marry for her, but she was gloating over her misfortune.
But she really couldn't do anything about Jiang Tinghe, since she was the one who took her place.
When Jiang Tingxia was sixteen years old, Lin Ma, who had worked as a maid in the Jiang family for half her life, fell ill. Before she died, she revealed a big secret. Jiang Tingxia still remembers that horrible day.
Mother Lin walked in tremblingly, leaning on a piece of wood. She was very ill, her face was blue, and she was so weak that she couldn't even speak. She looked like a dying person.
She stood in the yard, looking at Li Xiu and her daughter Jiang Tingxia who were drinking afternoon tea. She raised her daughter so well. The sixteen-year-old girl wore big, shiny pearls on her ears and wore a foreign dress sent by ship. Li Xiu had held her in her hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in her mouth for fear of melting her. She had pampered her daughter for sixteen years and she had raised her to be as beautiful as a flower.
Perhaps it was a flash of life, Lin Ma suddenly regained her spirits and called out, "Madam, hello, Miss."
Li Xiu was not very happy. She asked the housekeeper who brought Lin Ma in with a gloomy face, "Lin Ma is so ill, why did you let her come? Running around won't make her better."
The housekeeper knew that the lady said this because she disliked Aunt Lin for soiling their Jiang family's land.
He was actually a little hesitant just now, but Aunt Lin had worked here all her life, and everyone knew that Aunt Lin had a close relationship with the lady, so he thought that Aunt Lin was a servant with some reputation, so he brought her in.
Since the lady said so, he grabbed Mother Lin and tried to pull her away, "Mother Lin, I'll take you out."
He was very strong, and Mother Lin was dragging her sick body, so she was dragged to the ground in an instant.
After all, Mother Lin had watched her grow up, and Jiang Tingxia couldn't bear it, so she ordered the housekeeper to send her to the hospital.
Mother Lin looked at her and suddenly smiled, pointing her dead wood finger at Jiang Tingxia, "Madam, I came here specifically to tell you that the daughter you have loved for sixteen years is not your daughter at all."
Li Xiu didn't believe what she said. She just thought that Lin Ma was sick and talking nonsense. She signaled the housekeeper to take her out, but Lin Ma's next words almost drove her crazy.
"You probably don't remember that winter when a beggar came to the Jiang family. You also despised her and asked me to drive her away. I felt sorry for her and hid her in the servants' room. Who would have thought that by coincidence, you and that pregnant beggar had babies on the same day, and they were both girls."
"The master is not at home, and I have been serving you all the time, so it won't be difficult to change the child."
Li Xiu was struck by lightning. Lin Ma's family all worked for the Jiang family. She had always trusted her more than others. She was the one who took care of everything when she gave birth. She could indeed do what she said about changing the child without anyone noticing.
At that moment, she believed about 70% of what Lin Ma said.
Li Xiu lost her ladylike demeanor and screamed, "Mother Lin, why did you do this?"
Mother Lin had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat, and it was difficult for her to speak, but she still managed to speak, "Do you still remember my little granddaughter?"
Li Xiu was stunned. Mother Lin said bitterly, "You don't remember."
"That year you celebrated your son's birthday and invited a lot of people to the birthday party. I brought my three-year-old granddaughter to play, but she disappeared. I was anxious to find her, but you insisted that I make longevity noodles for your son and told other people to look for my granddaughter. But later I asked you and found out that you didn't ask anyone to look for her. My child was lost just like that."
Mother Lin expressed her resentment, "In your eyes, my granddaughter's life is worth less than a bowl of noodles."
Li Xiu disagreed, "I paid you to do this job, and I asked you to make a bowl of noodles for my son, but you held a grudge against me for so many years."
"How dare you set your sights on my child!"
"Besides, you have so many children, and your children have given birth to so many children. How can your children compare with my children?"
Mother Lin looked at Li Xiu with resentment, "You really don't treat us as human beings."
"Your child's life is precious, but my child's life is cheap."
"Then I exchanged your daughter for a beggar's child. You can't tell, can't you?"
There was a crazy smile on Lin's mother's face. She laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe and was about to die.
Li Xiu didn't care about being disgusted, she grabbed her and asked, "Where did you take my daughter to? Tell me now, you crazy woman."
Mother Lin fainted as her head tilted. Li Xiu shouted at the housekeeper to send her to the hospital and to keep her alive by any means.
A group of people surrounded Lin's mother and left, including Li Xiu. Jiang Tingxia stood there for a long time, unable to digest this matter. It turned out that she had no blood relationship with the Jiang family. Her mother was not her mother, her eldest brother was not her eldest brother, and her grandfather was not her grandfather. Then who was she?
Li Xiu came back in the evening. Jiang Tingxia heard her conversation with her grandfather and she cried very hard. It turned out that the real eldest daughter of the Jiang family was sent to the countryside to be raised by Lin's mother. The Jiang family quickly sent a housekeeper to pick her up.
When the old man of the Jiang family saw Jiang Tingxia waving to her to come over, his kind face was no different from how he usually treated Jiang Tingxia.
"Child, we have raised you for sixteen years. Even if we are not related by blood, we are still a family."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Tingxia's panicked heart calmed down. She glanced at Li Xiu, who was crying hard and wiping her face with a handkerchief.
Jiang Tingxia tentatively called out "Mom", and Li Xiu also cried and held her hand.
