(Second update)

Zhao Daya denied Jiang Xian’s speculation:

"Fat girl, don't you remember? Landlord Liao's wife took her son away in the early years. Some people said she went abroad. Anyway, he has been living alone since then. Ma Wu from the Changbai Brigade next door often went to look after him.

Because Ma Wu’s father, Mr. Ma, was once the old housekeeper of the Liao family.”

"Besides the Ma family, there is no one else at all?"

Since there is no one else, there is no chance to transfer the family property.

Zhao Daya had a good impression of Landlord Liao, and she felt a little sad thinking about him:

"When Landlord Liao knew that he was not going to die soon, it was rumored that Xu Guangguo even lobbied, saying that he could ask people in the village to help take care of him. In the end, he only needed to give some family property to others, but Landlord Liao kicked him out."

Zhao Daya curled her lips in disdain. What they, the secretary of the brigade, did was very criticized. Landlord Liao did not live alone for a day or two. Landlord Liao had never been in good health and had been coughing all year round. Then

Why didn't anyone take care of him in Huizi? Now that he is about to die, mentioning this feels like a threat.

"As a result, after Landlord Liao died, the villagers went to look at his house and found nothing. Only then did they realize that the Liao family had fallen into such a state of decline."

Jiang Xian frowned almost inaudibly, always feeling that something was wrong: "Then who restrained Landlord Liao's body?"

"It was the whole village who helped restrain him. No one knew Landlord Liao died at home. It was Ma Wu who went to see him the next morning and found out that he had already put on his shroud and was lying on the bed, dead.

Yes. The coffin is also ready and placed in the hall."

There wasn't much cooking to do, they just carried him into a coffin and buried him in the Liao family's ancestral grave.

The Liao family is a big family in Maishou Village, or should I say, a well-known big family in the five brigades surrounding Maishou Village.

I heard that my ancestor was a great country squire who returned home from a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty. The large area around the wheat harvest brigade was all his family's fertile farmland, and all the people around him were his family's tenants.

The ancestral grave of the Liao family is not yet in Maishou Village, but in Changba Brigade, which used to be the territory of the Liao family.

"Then who owns the Liao family's house now?"

As Jiang Xian asked, she had already thought of which house Landlord Liao's house was.

On the land bordering Maishou Village and Changba Brigade, there is a big house with a lot of grass growing around it, and a lot of ivy crawling on the walls, black and green, layer upon layer, and even the door is covered by grass.

Strictly.

The Jiang family and the land were in completely opposite directions. She couldn't easily walk there. When she first came here, she wanted to get familiar with the roads in the village. She walked there once and heard a child say that it was a haunted house.

, she quite sneered at it.

The scariest thing in this world has always been the human heart. What's so scary about ghosts?

Approximately that place is Landlord Liao's house.

"I heard that Landlord Liao left a suicide note, saying that the house belonged to Ma's family, but Ma Wu just wanted it, and Ma Wu's father is still here."

"Mr. Ma has a deep affection for Landlord Liao's family. In the past, when he was very agile, he often went to Landlord Liao's house to accompany Landlord Liao. But then he suffered from arthritis, and then he became paralyzed and could not go there. However, he would instruct his son from time to time.

Go and have a look.”

The day he heard that Landlord Liao had died, Mr. Ma almost cried to death at home. Finally, he asked Ma Wu to carry him to the Liao family's ancestral grave, where he stayed for three days before leaving.

The incident about the suicide note came out at that time, but no one from the Ma family went to collect the house, but Ma Wu complained that he almost had his legs broken by the old man when he mentioned the house at home.

Jiang Xian made no further comment. It sounded like the old man of the Ma family was also a loyal servant. A good master and a loyal servant. From this, Landlord Liao probably treated his servants well.

Otherwise, Mr. Ma wouldn't talk about him so much.

It's a pity. If the Liao family really started to inherit from the Ming Dynasty, it would be quite desolate to end up in such a bleak end.

However, Jiang Xian lowered her eyes and did not express it. There were still three kilograms of nails in the broken ship. A family that had been passed down for many years ended up with nothing. There must be some reason for this.

Someone must have looted the property in advance.

But I don't know if it was Landlord Liao who ordered it, or some thief stole his property.

After chatting about Landlord Liao, it was time for them to get off the car.

The two of them stood on the street. Jiang Xian went over and looked at the address. The address was written in great detail, and there were even a few directions drawn underneath, so it was clear at a glance.

The two of them carried two boxes of malted milk and two cans of tea and headed for their destination.

On the way, Zhao Daya reminded Jiang Xian: "My sister is not resting today and can't accompany us. She said that her aunt is actually quite easy to talk to and kind-hearted, but she pays more attention to etiquette. When she goes,

Let’s be more vigilant and don’t let others think we are rude.”

Jiang Xian nodded: "Don't worry, I won't pretend to do this."

Zhao Daya rolled her eyes at Jiang Xian: "You still know that you need to pretend, but your poor mouth doesn't scare people away? You just need to seal your mouth and stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Xian covered her mouth and made a sealing gesture, which made Zhao Daya laugh.

The two of them walked in tandem and soon reached a property boundary. There were three buildings here, which were said to be the dormitories of the porcelain factory. The conditions looked really good.

The two of them entered through the door. Zhao Daya took a step forward and told the guard that she was a relative of Chen Yan's family. The guard's aunt, wearing a sweater, raised her head and looked at the two of them up and down. Her eyes stayed on Jiang Xian for a particularly long time.

After a long while, she yelled: "Oh, how come there is such a beautiful girl? Come here, girl? Are you a relative of Director Chen's family? Who is her family? Does she have a partner?"

Jiang Xian: "..." She has no partner, and she is not a relative of Director Chen. She is here to ask for help.

Fortunately, Zhao Daya pulled the guard aunt and said, "Auntie, this is my sister. We call Director Chen's cousin. Do you want to call and ask?"

The guard aunt was not happy to be interrupted. She picked up the phone and called upstairs while muttering: "Your sister? She doesn't look like it. I want to hear her own words."

Those eyes were staring straight at Jiang Xian, not afraid of dialing the wrong number.

Jiang Xian: "Auntie, I am really her sister. Director Chen is our aunt. Today, my aunt is on vacation, so we came to see her."

Just as he was talking, someone answered the phone over there, and the aunt here reported her name. Jiang Xian heard the aunt upstairs shouting from downstairs: "...Director Chen, Director Chen Yan, you have a relative coming to your house, please."

Are they coming up?"

What was said over there, the aunt here heard it and waved her hand to let her go: "Go ahead."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went upstairs.

Auntie is so enthusiastic and overwhelming.
