Chapter 446 The Cannon Fodder Daughter-in-law Twenty
If there had not been those previous rumors, the two of them would not have aroused suspicion once or twice when they talked together, whether openly or privately.
But there are rumors in the past, and seeing the two of them getting along, everyone will inevitably murmur in their hearts.
Not long after Luo Shi went out, she saw a younger sibling from her family. When she looked at her sibling, she felt something was wrong. She forced a smile and said, "What are you doing here?"
The woman was one of the people who heard the rumor, and came over specifically to watch the excitement. When she heard the words, she opened her mouth and replied: "I want to pick some gray vegetables and cook them back. I'll just eat this one in the next two days."
Luo Shi teased: "Isn't it because you are unhappy?"
There is a saying nowadays that women will want to eat some special things when their children are just born. If they can’t eat them, they will feel uncomfortable, which means they are unhappy.
The woman was almost thirty years old. Most women could no longer give birth to children at this age. After hearing this, she took a sip and said, "That's nonsense. His father also wants to eat. Could it be that he has also harmed Xi?"
?”
The two joked for a while and separated. Luo Shi didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude, and felt a little more at ease. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back, only to see the man standing there looking at him.
Roche's eyelids twitched.
She had a gut feeling that the matter between herself and Father Jiang seemed to have been discovered... it was of great importance. She didn't dare to think deeply about it and quickly returned to her home.
This time, the private meeting between the two quickly spread secretly. The villagers were busy all day long and liked to hear all kinds of rumors. Soon, the matter reached the ears of Luo Shi's mother-in-law.
The moment Mrs. Jiang heard the news, she felt it was extremely ridiculous. If the person who told her was not an outsider but her sister who was also married in the village, she would have cursed her on the spot.
"Sister, don't believe it. It's groundless. That day Niu'er's wife heard with her own ears that Jixiao's mother asked his father if Yue'er was his daughter..."
Mrs. Jiang began to recall the past, and then suddenly realized that Jiang Gui, the nephew, seemed to really love Yue'er. Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to only have such affection for Yue'er, a junior.
She couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and left.
"I have to go back and ask."
She was the mother-in-law, and if she found out that her daughter-in-law was at fault, even if she just had suspicions, there was nothing she could not ask. With this matter in mind, she looked gloomy when she returned home.
After Luo Shi came back from Father Jiang's house, she felt weak and couldn't sit still, so she simply cleaned up the yard. When she saw her mother-in-law coming back, she raised a smile and said, "Mom..."
When she shouted, she realized that her mother-in-law's expression was not right. Her heart skipped a beat and she boldly asked, "Mom, where were you just now?"
"I happened to bump into your aunt while I was out for a walk, and we chatted for a few words." Mrs. Jiang looked her up and down: "I heard that you and Hongye's father didn't have a good relationship at the beginning?"
"He has always been sick and has a bad temper. He often throws the hot soup bowl at me..." Luo Shi sighed: "I don't know how I survived those days. Mom, it's fine.
Don’t mention him anymore, it’s too disappointing.”
Mrs. Jiang meant something: "If the relationship is not good, how can you still give birth to a child for him?"
Hearing this, Luo Shi was startled. She always felt that her mother-in-law seemed to know something, and she gave a forced smile: "Mom, we are husband and wife. It's not unusual to have children!" At this point, her eyes turned:
"You can get it if you touch my body, you know."
She gave birth to two sons as soon as she entered the family, proving that she is indeed very capable of giving birth.
Mentioning the two grandchildren, Mrs. Jiang's expression softened: "Just now your aunt told me that there are rumors in the village that Yue'er is Jiang Gui's child. I thought it was ridiculous when I heard it. Is this true?"
Luo Shi's heart nearly jumped out of her throat, and she tried hard to stay calm so that her expression did not change: "Who said that?" She pretended to be shocked and angry: "Whoever made such a rumor, I have to tear her mouth apart.
No."
"Many people in the village are talking about it." Mrs. Jiang frowned. Now that Luo Hongye is her daughter-in-law, it is not good for her family to spread such rumors. She immediately said: "You better not ask. It's really a big deal. It's a joke to outsiders."
It’s our family.”
Luo Shi said quickly: "But I can't let people be so wronged! What if his father doubts me, how can I live my life?"
Mrs. Jiang said unhappily: "As a woman, you must be upright and know how to keep a distance from others. Did you go to see Jiang Gui today?"
"I..." Luo Shi lowered his head: "Mom, there is something I'm hiding from you. That is, Jiang Jixiao's relatives have come to find him. I heard that they are quite wealthy there. I just want to marry Yue'er to him, and then I will marry him.
Let’s go back together and be rich wives. As long as Yue’er lives well, she will not forget to recruit her two younger brothers.”
Mrs. Jiang looked surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
"It's not easy to talk about the matter before it's done, so I went to discuss it with my eldest brother. What he has already agreed to is that Jiang Jixiao will guard Shen Jiayu wholeheartedly and refuse to reconcile and marry another man!" Luo Shi assured: "However, eldest brother has already said
Yes, he likes Yue'er very much and will try his best to promote this matter."
Mrs. Jiang curiously asked: "What kind of family are Jiang Jixiao's parents like?"
Luo Shi whispered: "They are quite wealthy, the kind of people who can save enough money to spend in a lifetime."
Mrs. Jiang covered her mouth: "Really."
Hearing what her daughter-in-law said, all her previous doubts were dispelled. After all, her daughter-in-law was talking about business when she got together with others... and this matter did have to be done secretly.
On the other side, after Chu Yunli returned home and coaxed her child, she went to Jiang Jixiao and said, "Your father will definitely hinder his understanding of this matter."
Jiang Jixiao smiled bitterly: "In the worst case, I won't recognize you. If you go back, you will be looked down upon as a bastard. It doesn't matter if you don't go back."
"Whether we go back or not is our business, but it can't be that others don't let us go back." Chu Yunli pondered for a moment: "Find someone to follow him."
Jiang Jixiao was surprised: "Is it necessary?"
To a certain extent, Shen Jiayu was plotted to death because of Jiang Jixiao's relatives. When Chu Yunli came, she must find out these things. She wanted to see what it was like.
It was the wealthy family that made Luo Shi murderous towards her.
Shen Jiayu had more than a dozen taels of dowry money at the bottom of the box. Half of the expenses for the past year or so plus Jiang Jixiao's exams had been spent. She still had eight taels on hand.
For the people in the town, this was already a lot. Chu Yunli secretly spent money to find two people to follow Jiang's father, because it was just for a visit and it didn't cost much money.
Half a month later, Chu Yunli was completely one month old and could go out for a walk.
There was a knock on the door. Chu Yunli went to open it. When she saw it was Xiao Man from the village, she immediately became interested.
Xiaoman's parents died young, and he had a very hard life raising his younger brothers and sisters. As long as he was given some benefits, he could do anything.
"Today a carriage arrived at Jiang's house. It looked like an ordinary green shed. The woman who got out was wearing silk and satin. I noticed that your uncle was polite to her. However, the lady seemed to look down on the Jiang family.
I don’t even want to drink tea.”
Chu Yunli asked: "Where are the people?"
Xiaoman shook his head: "When I saw people coming, I hurriedly came to report the news. At that time, I also looked for Uncle Liu's ox cart. At this moment, the cart is either still in the village or is about to arrive in the town."
Chu Yunli handed the child to Jiang's mother who came over: "I'll take a look."
After saying that, he quickly slipped out of the door.
She took Xiao Man to the entrance of the town. Not long after arriving, she saw a carriage coming from the direction of the village.
Xiao Man squinted his eyes and said, "No."
The two of them waited for a quarter of an hour, and finally the carriage that Xiao Man was talking about arrived. Chu Yunli quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Go, go, stand far away, be careful not to get hurt."
The coachman scolded him impatiently.
"I have something to talk to the lady inside." Chu Yunli raised her voice and said, "My father-in-law is Jiang Gui!"
As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped immediately. The aunt inside had already heard the words and opened the curtain: "Didn't you say that Jiang Gui went to the city and hasn't come back yet?"
"I gave birth when he was going to take the exam. He was worried about me and rushed back after the exam. He is at home now." Chu Yunli stretched out her hand and said: "It's still early, aunt, why don't you go to my house and have a cup of tea before you go on your way?
"
The woman inside was originally ordered by the master to pick up the person, but she couldn't pick him up and couldn't make an errand when she got back. I heard that the person was still in the town, so of course she had to make a trip.
Chu Yunli dismissed Xiao Man and got into the carriage to give directions.
Jiang Jixiao had already escaped from Shen Jiayu after he heard that Xiao Man had come. He knew that she must have gone to the village to block people... He was about to see his real relatives, and his heart could not calm down.
Of course, Shen Jiayu's trip might be in vain. But he couldn't help but change into clean clothes and comb his hair again.
While I was fussing about it, I heard a knock on the door. Then my wife's cheerful voice said: "Open the door quickly, we have guests arriving."
Jiang Jixiao was so anxious that his comb snapped. He tied up his hair in a hurry and just ran to the door. Jiang's mother had already opened the door.
The mother-in-law entered the yard, without looking around, her eyes fell directly on Jiang Jixiao, looking at her critically: "Are you Jiang Jixiao?"
Jiang Jixiao nodded: "I am."
Seeing that the person seemed to be just a servant, he calmed down instantly: "Are you looking for me? Who asked you to come?"
"Madam asked me to come." The mother-in-law came closer and said, "The brow bone is exactly the same as the master's, so there should be no mistake. That's right, you are a child of the Hu family, and your biological mother is... dishonest, after giving birth to the child
After that, I will send you away quietly. Over the years, I have been trying to find you, but I have never found time to find you. I just started looking for you recently. You need to tidy up first, and a carriage will come to pick you up in two days."
At this point, she turned back and looked at Chu Yunli: "Are you his wife?"
Without waiting for Chu Yunli to answer, she continued on her own: "The young master of our family is living outside and should not be worthy of a girl from an ordinary family. I will give you a favor later. Later, you can also pack your things and go back to your parents' home to get them."
With those benefits in mind, I will find a good man..."
From the moment he entered the house until now, he looked bossy and did not discuss it at all. Moreover, he showed no respect at all for his master Jiang Jixiao.
Jiang Jixiao frowned: "I have no intention of recognizing my relatives."
The mother-in-law snorted, obviously not believing it: "You asked your wife to stand by the roadside to stop my carriage, and now you say this, do you think I will believe it? Don't take it from Joe, the master and his wife like well-behaved children."
Jiang Jixiao noticed that his mother-in-law said "biological mother" when calling his mother, and later mentioned his wife. Obviously, as Jiang's father said, he was not a legitimate son at all, maybe not even a bastard.
