Border Cook

The mustard greens in front of her were quite large and washed very cleanly.

Xia Mingyue squatted down and started to choose.

"Two cents for three pounds of mustard greens. If you want more, I'll give you a discount." The woman was soliciting business while putting larger mustard greens in front of Xia Mingyue.

The pile of mustard greens in front of him was estimated to be only about 15 or 16 pounds. Xia Mingyue did not bargain, but just did as the woman asked and bought all the mustard greens.

After paying the money, Xia Mingyue and the woman picked the mustard greens into the bamboo basket.

The two women who were selling radishes and cabbages nearby saw Xia Mingyue buying things so boldly, and they also tried to attract her, "Young lady, do you want some cabbages? We just picked them from the fields today. They have big leaves and few stems."

"Look at my radish. It's very crisp, sweet even when eaten raw, and very juicy."

There were radishes and cabbages at home, so Xia Mingyue smiled and declined, "I won't buy any for now."

Upon seeing this, the two women withdrew their gazes and actions and just continued chatting with each other.

"Is what my sister-in-law just said true?"

"Of course it's true. My sister-in-law is from Jiangjia Village. She saw it with her own eyes when she returned to her parents' home two days ago. It can't be false."

"Tsk, if that's the case, then that Tian is really pitiful."

"What's so pitiful about her? She raised a daughter who gambles and owes money, and then sold the family land for pleasure. It's normal for her to be divorced now. The poor one is Mr. Jiang. He is about to take the exam, but such a thing happened in his family. If it affects his exam, his life will be delayed. It is said that marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations. This is absolutely true."

"What you said is not quite right. It is not just the mother's job to educate a daughter. Why don't you say that it was Mr. Jiang who failed to educate his daughter? Also, didn't you just say that Mr. Jiang's family has always been poor? Even if they were poor, he was able to study for so many years. And Tian didn't divorce and remarry. She looks like a good person. Why do you say that he sold his land just for pleasure?"

"Well, you didn't understand what I said at all. Tian is always complaining about pain and itchiness at home. She hasn't done much housework. She always let her daughter do it. How can that be considered good?"

"But since the girl is willing to work, she should not be afraid of hardship. Why would she gamble?"

“…Forget it, if you don’t understand, I won’t talk to you anymore!”

The woman selling radishes felt that the other party didn't understand what she meant at all. The more she spoke, the angrier she became, so she simply turned her face away angrily.

But the woman selling cabbages was inexplicable.

She didn't say anything, she just had some doubts, why is she so angry?

Xia Mingyue listened to the two people's words, paused, and then asked, "Sister-in-law, may I ask if the Jiang Xiucai you mentioned just now is Jiang Yihe from Jiangjia Village?"

"Yes, that's him." The woman, who was feeling very upset because of the previous conversation, became interested when she saw someone talking to her. "Does this lady recognize him?"

"I have seen him before, but I wasn't familiar with him." Xia Mingyue said, "It's just that I heard you mention the divorce letter just now, so I asked you a question. Did Mr. Jiang divorce his wife?"

"Yes!" The woman nodded vigorously. "At that time, we invited the village head and the clan leader to witness it, so it can't be wrong. I heard from my sister-in-law that Jiang Xiucai is usually gentle, and no matter what happened to Tian, ​​she never got angry with her. But this time, she must have been angry."

"Mr. Jiang's family only has three acres of land, and the family relies on it for food and drink. Mrs. Tian was so bold as to sell it and spend all the money. It's only because Mr. Jiang has a good temper. If it were me, I would beat Mrs. Tian to death."

"But Tian Shi has not admitted the incident and has stayed in Jiang Xiucai's old house. Jiang Xiucai had no choice but to leave a hundred yuan to the ancestral hall and ask the clan members to help take care of Tian Shi to prevent her from starving to death. Jiang Xiucai is really a good man."

"Yes, yes, that Mr. Jiang was also very angry about the girl who gambled and owed debts. He broke off the relationship with the good-for-nothing girl in front of the Jiangjia Village and the clan leader, saying that he would never have this girl again. But if the girl is willing to reform in the future, he is still willing to hear her call him dad again." "This Mr. Jiang is really a good person."

After the woman told Xia Mingyue the whole story with great excitement, she emphasized this sentence again.

Xia Mingyue frowned when she heard this.

It was something she expected that Jiang Yihe would abandon Tian.

I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

The woman saw that Xia Mingyue did not respond to her after she had talked for a long time, and did not even agree with her final conclusion, so she asked again, "Madam, do you think this Jiang Xiucai is a good person?"

"My eyes are not blind yet." Xia Mingyue replied with a smile.

If Jiang Yihe is a good person, then there would be no bad people in the world.

Are you not blind?
The woman was stunned, and after watching Xia Mingyue walking away with the bamboo basket, she was full of confusion.

She had just been telling her that even if she was saying something, she should have said that her ears were not deaf, so what did this have to do with her eyes?

really weird……

After Xia Mingyue returned, she called Jiang Zhuguo into the house and told him exactly what she had heard on the street.

"I guess it was Jiang Yihe who sold the land, but he told others that it was sold by Madam Tian, ​​and he also brought up your case and gave Madam Tian a divorce letter."

Xia Mingyue said, "Logically speaking, you have the letter of severance in your hand, so the affairs of Jiang Yihe and Madam Tian have nothing to do with you, but since I happened to overhear it, I still want to tell you a little bit, so you know it's better."

"As for the rest, you can make your own choice."

"I understand, Sister Xia." Jiang Zhuguo thought for a while and said, "After all, she gave birth to me and raised me. She is confused and disgusting, but she is also a pitiful person. Now her family doesn't even have a farmland, and I'm afraid they can't even afford to eat."

"I only took two months' wages from her, which was considered as repaying her kindness in raising me since I was a child. I will have nothing to do with her from now on."

If she is willing to use the money to find a place to resettle and live a good life to support herself, then it is up to her.

If she got the money, she would give it to Jiang Yihe with all her heart...

That’s up to her!

Your own choice, your own path, walk your own way.

"Yes." Xia Mingyue understood what Jiang Zhuguo meant and nodded, "But if you want to give the money, you can't go by yourself. You need to trouble Brother Wu to make the trip."

Wu Xiong is now feared by Jiang Yihe and Tian Shi. If he were to step forward, Tian Shi would not dare to get involved any further.

As for the way and reason why Wu Xiong sent money to Tian Shi... (End of this chapter)
