A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 18: Benefactor?

Old Mrs. Jiang’s tone was cold.

The voice just fell.

Xu sat on the ground with a look of disbelief, muttering to herself: "It's not my fault, it's obviously that person's fault..."

Xu's stubbornness hardened the hearts of the Jiang family, who had originally been somewhat soft-hearted.

The third son’s wife really went too far this time.

For a moment, no one dared to plead for Xu.

There was silence all around.

Such an abnormal behavior made Xu feel inexplicably flustered.

She was afraid that the Jiang family would really not want her.

Xu quickly crawled to Old Lady Jiang's feet, but before she could open her mouth to beg for mercy, she was kicked away by Old Lady Jiang.

Xu turned around and crawled to Jiang Laosan's feet, hugging Jiang Laosan's thighs tightly to prevent him from having the chance to kick her away.

"Boss! Please tell mom quickly, I really know I was wrong! Please don't chase me away!"

Xu begged bitterly.

Old Third Jiang's face showed some emotion. When he looked up at Old Madam Jiang, he opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he was glared at by Old Madam Jiang.

The meaning is self-evident.

Jiang Laosan didn't dare to plead anymore.

For a moment, the resting place was silent, with only Xu's desperate pleading for mercy as the sound remained.

Mrs. Jiang Da and Mrs. Jiang Er took the younger generations and moved away; no one wanted to get involved.

With no one around to watch, Xu's crying gradually became weaker.

Jiang Yunjin, who was lying on Mrs. Jiang's shoulder, looked at Xu through the gap.

Now that there were no audiences, Xu had no mood to perform.

However, he still hummed a few times and looked up carefully at Old Mrs. Jiang.

I am still just doing superficial work.

Jiang Yunjin was carried away from here and could not see the rest of the excitement.

Mrs. Jiang has not forgotten how pale her daughter's face looked when they were at the city gate.

Along the way, Jiang Yunjin, who originally had a sallow complexion, became much whiter and more tender, just like a freshly peeled egg.

Mrs. Jiang just thought that the child was young and would get much better with some care.

What she didn't know was that all this was the effect of the spiritual spring in Jiang Yunjin's space!

She only drank it once or twice and her skin became very white and tender.

She is very satisfied with her current appearance except that her cheeks are a little thin.

"Mom, is grandma okay?" A baby voice came from Mrs. Jiang's arms.

Mrs. Jiang found a stone to sit on and finally released the little person from her arms.

The little girl's cheeks were slightly red, and her bright black eyes were smiling as she just looked at her quietly.

After looking at it carefully, he opened his mouth to respond to what his daughter had just said.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yunjin, grandma is fine."

Mrs. Jiang said this to comfort the little girl's worried heart.

But she didn't know the truth.

This was the first time she had seen Old Lady Jiang so angry in all the more than ten years she had been in the Jiang family.

After a long time, Mrs. Jiang sighed, looking somewhat helpless.

It’s time to take good care of the Xu family.

After hearing the sigh, Mrs. Jiang Er, who was standing by, moved her butt and sat next to Mrs. Jiang Da.

"Sister-in-law, do you think mother will be soft-hearted again?"

Mrs. Jiang thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

After all, in her opinion, Mrs. Jiang had been too lenient towards the third wife too many times.

Who knows if he will be forgiven in the end this time?

Mrs. Jiang Da looked at Mrs. Jiang Er and shook her head helplessly. Who could know about this?

The two sisters-in-law were silent for a moment, and then changed the conversation one after another.

I don’t know how Boss Jiang is doing in buying grain. If he can’t buy any, we can only survive on the remaining stored grain.

at the same time.

Boss Jiang and the fourth brother sneaked back to the small town.

The two planned to buy some more rice or some things to keep warm.

It would take another two months to get to the capital from here, and it was already winter. But after wandering around half of the town, I found nothing.

This result was expected.

After looking around, I found that all the rice shops had been closed long ago. Not only the rice shops, but other shops had also been closed long ago, and even the doors of the houses were closed tightly.

There was no choice but to return the same way.

When they were halfway there, they heard the sounds of swords and spears coming from the front.

Boss Jiang immediately pulled Boss Jiang and hid in the dry grass nearby.

With the help of the dry grass as a cover, Boss Jiang could quickly see a dispute not far away.

I saw two groups of people fighting each other.

A group of people wearing patched old clothes.

The other group was uniformly dressed in dark blue clothes and holding long knives. They methodically fought off those who wanted to approach the carriage.

But the other side had too many people and gradually they began to lose strength.

The besiegers aimed at the right moment and were about to stab the carriage with their swords in hand.

The long sword was sharp, emitting a chilling chill in the sunlight.

With a flash of sword light, he lifted the curtain and rushed straight into the carriage.

Just now.

Boss Jiang, who had been hiding in the dark, aimed at the right moment and threw a stone. The stone hit the hilt of the sword steadily, forcing the sword to deflect and stab the carriage.

The sudden change made the besiegers instantly alert.

Old Jiang knows some martial arts, but Old Fourth Jiang doesn't.

He told his fourth brother not to act rashly, and he himself pulled a piece of black cloth and went around.

The besiegers looked around with vigilance.

I found that apart from the voice just now, there was no one around.

Just when they thought it was all an illusion, a tall figure gradually approached.

Boss Jiang acted decisively.

A group of people surrounded him and were knocked down in a few moves.

Seeing that something was wrong, the besiegers ran away immediately.

The accompanying servant wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by a slightly vicissitudes of life voice.

"Don't chase the poor bandits!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man limped out from behind the carriage.

As soon as this person appeared, Boss Jiang narrowed his eyes instantly.

Looking at the man in front of me, I felt that he was somewhat familiar.

After taking a closer look, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

While Boss Jiang was looking at the other person, the other person was also looking at Boss Jiang and soon recognized the other person.

"My benefactor! I was saved by you again!"

The middle-aged man limped back forward quickly, with a bit of excitement on his face.

Just after he said this, he seemed to remember something, turned around and walked to the carriage, and said happily.

"Madam! It's the benefactor! The benefactor has saved us again!"

The man's voice was excited, which aroused people's curiosity.

I saw the curtain of the carriage being opened from the inside, and an elderly woman with a pale face came out of the carriage.

When I looked up, I saw Boss Jiang standing in front of the carriage.

The old woman looked Boss Jiang up and down and felt that he looked more and more familiar.

Until she remembered that more than half a month ago, the young master was saved by someone...

The old woman instantly remembered who this person was and quickly turned around and got back into the carriage.

Soon, two more figures walked out of the carriage.

Leading the group was a woman in luxurious clothing.

Next to the woman stood a young boy with red lips and white teeth.

"You are truly a benefactor!"

The woman took two steps forward with the young boy, and immediately bowed and saluted to Boss Jiang.

But Boss Jiang dodged it by turning sideways.

"Mrs. Pei, you don't have to be so polite! You're making a man like me panic."
