Chapter 242 Besieged
Chapter 242 Besieged
"Okay, okay, stop praising me."
It's really an exaggeration.
All the adults in the Jiang family couldn't stop laughing.
"You kid, you're exhausted, haha." Jiang Eryong teased, not forgetting to pinch his niece's soft face with his hands.
The yard was filled with the laughter of the Jiang family.
At this time, the entrance to the village was surrounded by people.
The scene was noisy.
It turned out to be the woman sitting under the big tree at the entrance of the village. She saw Jiang Lingu and his friends coming back from a distance and hurriedly notified the villagers. They all came out with bamboo tubes and wanted Jiang Lingu to take them away.
This is not.
A family of three was stuck in the crowd, unable to move.
Jiang Lingu looked at the hundreds of people in front of him and suddenly felt his scalp tingling.
"Lin Gu, you're finally back. Please settle the unsettled account last time. The rice jar at home is almost empty, so I have to go to town to buy some. You know, there are sixteen people in our family, and the little money you gave me before is not enough.
Look, we have made about 200 bamboo tubes in the past few days. You can collect them all. The money from selling them is just enough for us to buy brown rice."
"Hey, don't push, Lin Gu can't run away, come one by one, who, who stepped on my shoes, damn it, why are you so anxious."
"Take mine first. My family made a lot, five baskets full, one basket with a hundred bamboo tubes, exactly five hundred bamboo tubes, I charge ten for one cent, Lin Gu, you have to give me fifty cents, plus the eight cents you owe me before, you have to give me fifty-eight cents today."
"Nephew, I thought you wanted a lot, so I asked my sister to come and make it together. Including hers, my family made a lot, a thousand bamboo tubes. So, I don't want the three cents you gave me last time, and you can just make the bamboo tubes this time."
"Aunt Liu, you are so shameless. Lin Gu is from our Jiangjia Village. How can you ask your sister from your mother's family to work with you? Aren't you just being selfish? No, you are not allowed to accept her. Lin Gu, if you accept her from her family, I will also call her my mother's family. Why should she be the only one who can do it?"
"That's right, you are not allowed to take money from outsiders. Why should outsiders make money that even the villagers don't make?"
These people were chattering away, one talking at a time.
Jiang Lingu couldn't say a word.
His face was originally red from being tired from traveling, but now it has become much paler.
"Lin Gu, since you have accepted their children, why don't you accept ours as well? We are from the same village, don't be partial to one over the other. When you were little, your aunt held you in her arms."
Ma Qingmei, who went to Jiang Fubao's house to cause trouble last time, was humiliated.
Still not smart.
Here it comes again.
She was seen grabbing Jiang Lingu's sleeve in a flattering manner. Her four sons behind her were each carrying a basket of bamboo tubes, at least four or five hundred of them.
It's not just her.
All the people who had a problem with Zhang Jinlan came.
Including Wang Xiu Lian and Widow Liu.
"I'm not here to collect bamboo tubes this time. Please move aside. I'm not feeling well. Let me go home first and rest for a night. We'll talk tomorrow."
Jiang Lingu couldn't think of an excuse for the time being.
I can only avoid it for now.
So many people surrounded him.
Not to mention that he is no longer the shopkeeper, even if he is, he can't collect so much.
"Oh, I just saw it, nephew, where did you get all these injuries? Did you run into bandits on the road?"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone realized that Jiang Lingu, who had been so arrogant and domineering when he came back last time, now had a bruised face and nose.
Not only that.
There was also a large tear in the clothes on his body.
If this face wasn't so familiar to everyone, they would have thought it was a beggar from somewhere.
"Did he offend the master and get chased away? Jiang Lingu, take my bamboo tube and bring me the money. I can't wait any longer."
There are smart people too.
Seeing his miserable appearance.
I guessed a little bit.
So she grabbed Jiang Lingu's arm.
Never let go.
After one of them took action, the rest of the people were worried that Jiang Lingu would not take so many, so they followed that man's example and squeezed forward, trying to catch Jiang Lingu.
Let him collect his own.
Poor Jiang Lingu, he walked for the whole afternoon with injuries.
No breath yet.
It was almost squeezed into a meat patty.
Maybe God thought he wasn't destined to die.
Jiang Guangyi, who was taking a walk, saw his son and his family surrounded by villagers.
He looked like he was about to faint.
He roared in anger.
"Get out of my way! If you guys get us into trouble, you all will get out of Jiang Village! All of you will be removed from the family tree!"
Although Jiang Guangyi doesn't usually get involved in things.
But he still has a way of scaring people.
I was shocked when I heard that I was going to be expelled.
These people are like frightened birds.
Scattered everywhere.
Two-year-old Jiang Muyao burst into tears out of fear.
Jiang Guangyi was heartbroken.
He took his grandson from his daughter-in-law's arms.
“Oh oh oh~” he started to coax.
"What's going on? At this time, why are you blocking the village entrance instead of going home for dinner? My Lin Gu is the boss. If he gets squeezed out, will you go to the town to help him manage people?
That's not right, Lin Gu, what happened to your face? Could it be that they beat you? How dare they beat my son? Tell me, whoever did that, I will drive him out of the village!"
The eldest son was adopted.
Jiang Guangyi only has this one son left.
I have always favored him, and now I dote on him even more.
Seeing him injured, Jiang Guangyi became furious.
Chen Qiuju, who was enjoying the cool in the yard, also came over after hearing the noise.
"My son, what happened? Who hit you? Ah? Which damned little bastard did it? Son, does it hurt? Tell me who hit you. I'll ask your father to kick him out."
Chen Qiuju's eyes instantly turned red.
She pulled Jiang Lingu and looked him over carefully, up and down, left and right.
I was afraid that a bloody hole would suddenly appear on my son's body.
"Lin Gu, please explain yourself. You clearly came back injured. What does this have to do with us? It's not even dark yet. It's broad daylight. Don't slander us."
The woman who just grabbed Jiang Lingu's arm.
Worried about being misunderstood, she quickly waved her hands and explained.
"Dad, Mom, it wasn't them who did it. It's all Jiang Dahe's fault! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been beaten. It's all their fault."
Jiang Dahe, who was eating at home, suddenly sneezed.
"Did you catch a cold? Take a hot bath tonight, don't use cold water. It's very hot today, and maybe you got caught in the wind when you were sweating. Don't think you can take it lightly just because you're strong. You're getting older now, so you need to be more careful. Do you hear me?"
Zhang Jinlan looked at her eldest son with concern.
Nagging.
"Oh, I understand, mom."
Jiang Dahe is very filial.
Not to mention that his mother cares about him, even if his mother asked him to die now, he would not hesitate.
