During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 56

Luo Tingye patted the horse's back lightly, and the horse roared instantly, frightening the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and they retreated in panic.

"Grandma, now that you have seen me, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"How could it be okay?" Li Peilan quickly blocked her way and tugged on Mrs. Jiang's sleeve.

Mrs. Jiang hesitated and said, "Amiao, I heard that yesterday you took your aunt from the village to dig wild vegetables in the mountains and made a lot of money. Is it true?"

It turned out that they wanted money.

"It is real to dig wild vegetables, but it is fake to make money. After all, how much money can I make if I live in the same village? Besides, the village chief is looking at how much profit there is. How can he not know? I just make one Two pennies of hard-earned money.”

Mrs. Jiang didn't listen to her explanation, "Isn't that still making money?"

Jiang Miao didn't know what she was planning, "Grandma, what exactly do you want to say?"

"It's like this. The village chief told everyone today that the county issued a notice for military service. Every family has to recruit a male. We also know the situation at your second uncle's family. Your second uncle is old and Huzi is still injured. , Ah Fei is just a little kid."

Jiang Miao's face turned gloomy, "Grandma, you don't want my eldest brother to serve on their behalf."

Li Peilan smiled broadly, "How is that possible? Besides, you don't know your eldest brother's legs and feet, so how can you possibly serve in the army?"

No?

Could it be that she was thinking too much?

Luo Tingye wanted to shake Jiang Miao's head, but he had been fooled so many times. Didn't he know that the weasel had no good intentions in giving the chicken a New Year's greeting?

Fortunately, Jiang Miao was not stupid. She didn't know what they wanted to do, but she knew that they must have bad intentions, so she looked at Mrs. Jiang defensively, "Grandma said, my eldest brother has bad legs and feet, so there is nothing we can do about it." Serving.”

Li Peilan tugged on Mrs. Jiang's sleeve and motioned for her to speak quickly.

Mrs. Jiang nodded and said quickly: "You also know the situation at home. Your second uncle's family really can't find anyone who is serving. That's why I came to find you."

Jiang Miao looked surprised, "Grandma, you don't want me to go!"

Although she is very strong, she is a girl after all. How could she be treated like this?

Li Peilan sneered and said, "Ah Miao, you are overthinking. Your grandma loves you before it's too late. How can she let you go? The village chief said that if the family really can't support anyone, they can use money to support it. It's ten liang per person. silver."

Li Peilan laughed as she spoke, "Didn't you make money? You must have ten taels of silver!"

Love comes for money, but I really dare to think that the village chief's family doesn't dare to give money to replace it, but she actually wants money to replace it.

Does this mean she is being taken advantage of?

Jiang Miao turned around and asked Luo Tingye, "Do I look like a fool?"

Luo Tingye shook his head seriously, "You're not stupid."

"That's right. I obviously don't look stupid, so why do some people want to treat me as a fool?"

Li Peilan's expression changed, "Ah Miao, isn't it just ten taels of silver? If you have money and refuse to take it, could it be that you want to watch your second uncle die?"

Jiang Miao chuckled, "Aren't you the one who wants your second uncle to die? My eldest brother gave you 200 taels of silver. It's enough if you just take out a little. Why bother asking me to borrow money? My money I’m still saving up to show my big brother’s legs!”

Jiang Miao covered her mouth in surprise, "Second Aunt, you don't mean to want my second uncle to die, do you? No wonder you have to take out the money. It turns out that you want to use the money to remarry. My second uncle knows that you think so." ?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at Li Peilan hesitantly.

"What are you talking about, little bitch, remarriage?" Li Peilan panicked.At this time, Jiang Yongguo jumped out from the grass beside him and grabbed Li Peilan, "Okay, so you had this idea. No wonder you want to give the money to your mother's family. Have you already been in love? Already?"

Li Peilan slapped him angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of lover do I have? You were fooled by this girl. She just said that because she didn't want to give you money."

Jiang Miao looked at Jiang Yongguo with an innocent face, "Second Aunt, you have wronged me. My surname is also Jiang. If my second uncle really encounters difficulties, can I not give it to him? I just don't want to take advantage of people with foreign surnames. You have money for your brothers, why are you not willing to give it to my second uncle? Is it possible that in your heart, my second uncle is not as important as your brothers?"

"you?"

Jiang Yongguo also felt that what Jiang Miao said made sense. After all, they both had the surname Jiang. No matter how bad the trouble was, wouldn't it be up to him to return the favor in the future?

With an angry look on his face, Jiang Yongguo pulled Li Peilan and asked him about the whereabouts of Qian.

Mrs. Jiang also stood by her son's side.

Li Peilan watched helplessly as the carriage slipped away from her eyes but was helpless and stamped her feet angrily.

Jiang Yongguo refused to give up, and in the end, the two actually fought.

Jiang Miao watched from a distance, smiling from ear to ear.

Luo Tingye was afraid that she would laugh and laugh, "Are you so happy?"

"Of course I'm happy. As long as I see them dog-eat-dog, I'll be happy."

As they neared the village, Luo Tingye's expression changed and he stopped the carriage.

At this time, three people jumped out from behind the big tree. One of them was Jiang Hu who was recovering from his injuries. The other two men had never been seen before and should not be from this village.

Luo Tingye glanced at the two people's clothes and immediately put down his guard, "What do you want to do?"

"Are you Jiang Qian's brother?"

"It's me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Miao wanted to show her head, but was pushed back by Luo Tingye.

One of the square-faced men raised the stick in his hand and punched it on the ground with a fierce look, "Where is my brother?"

Luo Tingye frowned, "Your brother? How do I know? You should ask your brother, what are you doing with me?"

"My brother came to Hewan Village before. Jiang Huren asked him to go to the main house to inquire about information, but he never came back. My second brother and I came here to find someone."

Luo Tingye glanced at Jiang Hu, whose face was full of wounds, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so vicious at such a young age, and you have learned to lie to others."

Jiang Hu covered his chin and said viciously: "Luo, stop pretending. Where did you take Lai San?"

"I said I really don't know. If you think I hid him, you can report it to the officials, but I don't know if they will accept it."

"Stop talking nonsense, where did you do my brother?"

Another man took out the kitchen knife from his waist and said, "If you don't hand over my brother today, I will let your blood splatter on the spot."

Luo Tingye raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "If you have the ability, try it and see whose blood is splattered on the spot."

Jiang Miao was extremely nervous hiding in the carriage. The Lai San they were talking about could not be the uninvited guest that night.
