Chapter 290： Grilled Lamb Leg

An hour later, Jiang Yunniang and Jiang Cheng returned from the county government office.

Jiang Yunniang sat in the shop and cried for a long time. Finally, accompanied by Jiang Quan and Ying Bao, she went to Zhang Jia's place to pack her things.

Since they were separated, the aunt and the children would not be able to live in the same place, so Yingbao proposed that she and her two children move to an empty house in the backyard of the shop and cook for Jiang Cheng and Jiang Quan.

After all, the new sister-in-law is pregnant and needs an elder to look after her.

When my aunt saves money and is able to buy a house, it won't be too late to move out.

When I arrived at Zhang Jia's house, I saw that it was an ordinary three-room blue-tiled house, plus two low thatched huts. The small yard was full of debris, and it was a bit cramped for a few people to walk in.

Jiang Yunniang lived in the east room, and the west room was where the concubine and Zhang Jia lived. Zhang Yukun and his brother Zhang Yuying should both live in that low thatched hut.

Yingbao followed her aunt into the east room and started packing her things.

In fact, there was nothing to pack, there was no furniture in the house, and the bed was old and shabby. All I could do was pack up the clothes, bedding, and makeup box, stuff them into a wooden box, and take them away.

While packing, the concubine walked to the door with her daughter in her arms and said with a smile: "Sister, where are you going? Yu Kun is getting married soon. How can I do it without you as a mother-in-law? The newlyweds have to go. Kneel down and bow down to the high hall.”

Jiang Yunniang did not answer her, but sneered: "Don't be complacent. With your status as a cheap concubine, you will never be Zhang Jia's wife or Cheng Yukun's high official until you die."

The court has a law that concubines cannot be straightened up, otherwise Zhang Jia will not be able to eat and carry around.

The concubine also sneered: "I can't be my wife, but my niece can be. Yukun still wants to bow down to me as my aunt."

Jiang Yunniang said while packing her things: "Then let her be the mother. Your son will grow up, so I wish you a harmonious family, a promotion and a fortune."

Yu Kun has been close to his father since he was a child, and now he wants to marry the niece of his father's concubine. It's okay if he doesn't want this son. Let the father and son love each other and have a family.

Jiang Yunniang stuffed the clothes and belongings of herself and her daughter Hongxiao into the wooden box, packed the bedding and other items into a package, and asked Jiang Quan to move it to the bullock cart.

At this time, Zhang Yukun walked into the room, frowned and said to Jiang Yunniang: "Mom, what are you doing? Why did you make peace with your father?"

Jiang Yunniang ignored him at all. After packing her own things, she went to pack Yuying's.

Zhang Yukun said again: "Mom, do you want to deliberately embarrass your son? Your son is about to get married, but you are making divorce at this time. How can you let your son hold his head up in front of outsiders?"

Jiang Yunniang threw down her clothes and said angrily: "Am I embarrassing you? Then who do you want to embarrass by marrying a woman from that kind of family? Yukun, you are older now, and I can't control you anymore, but your younger brothers and sisters still want to be embarrassed. , I will never allow them to make the same mistake as your father and son."

Yu Kun's face turned red, and he rubbed his neck and said, "What's wrong with my father and son? Qiu Ling is also an innocent girl. She doesn't mind our family's poverty and is willing to marry her son. How can she make her younger brothers and sisters lose face? Mother?" "You can beat and scold your son, but you can't treat Qiu Ling like this! She will always be your daughter-in-law."

"I can't afford it." Jiang Yunniang was so angry that she picked up Yuying's things and walked out.

Yukun stopped Jiang Yunniang and refused to let her leave: "Mom, where are you going?"

Jiang Yunniang pushed her son away, picked up Yingbao and Hongxiao and left.

"Mother!" Yu Kun took a few steps to stop him at the entrance of the courtyard, fell to his knees on the ground, and kowtowed to Jiang Yunniang repeatedly: "Son, please don't leave. How can you leave your son alone?"

Jiang Yunniang couldn't stop her tears from flowing down, but she still avoided her son and walked out of Zhang's courtyard.

Siting on the bullock cart, Jiang Yunniang couldn't help crying anymore.

Hongxiao hugged her mother tightly and did not dare to speak. She glanced in the direction of her home and started crying.

Yingbao sighed inwardly, unable to comfort her aunt, so she could only look at her second cousin with big eyes.

Aunt Jiang Yunniang has aged much in the past two years, and even her hair has turned half gray.

Obviously she is only a few years older than my mother-in-law, but it feels like she is a generation away.

Compared with Zhang Jia's delicate concubine, she looks like a person of two generations.

Alas, once a woman becomes old and yellow, a man will become a monster, just like that piece of armor. Yingbao was thinking, should she make some face cream for her eldest uncle and second aunt to keep them young?

Back at the shop, Yingbao allocated two side rooms for her aunt and her family to live in.

Jiang Yunniang and Hongxiao lived in one room, and Zhang Yuying lived in another room alone.

Now the eldest cousin doesn't live here, so the second cousin also lives in a room alone.

Of course, Yingbao lived alone in a room in the main house, and the room was equipped with double doors. When she was not around, the door was locked by her.

In the evening, Jiang Quan went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables and came back with a bottle of rice wine in a bamboo tube.

"Yingbao, I bought a roasted leg of lamb today, you can eat it." Jiang Quan tore off a large piece of meat from a roasted leg of lamb, put it in his little cousin's bowl, and added He gave a piece to his aunt and Zhang Yuying Hongxiao each.

He not only bought roasted lamb legs, but also pig head meat, a braised goose, and a pile of wheat flour cakes.

“Let’s have a good drink today to celebrate my aunt’s escape from the injustice.” Jiang Quan said this cryptically as he was concerned about the presence of Zhang Yuying and Hong Xiao.

Jiang Yunniang nodded, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, and then said to Ying Bao: "Auntie, I have to thank Ying Bao for taking her in."

With the help of her niece and nephew, she has the confidence to make peace with Zhang Jia.

If not, I really want to die.

When she learned that her eldest son was going to marry a concubine, God knows how desperate and angry she was.

At that moment, she wanted to kill Zhang Jia.

But she can't, because she doesn't only have Yukun, she also has Yuying and Hongxiao, and she must not let their siblings be destroyed in the hands of Zhang Jia.

"You don't have to be polite, aunt, you can live in peace." Yingbao said while eating mutton: "From now on, when the second brother goes to purchase goods, you can help the first cousin take care of the shop."

The shop does not need to hire a waiter for the time being, but it is not impossible if someone can help.

The eldest cousin must go back to his home every night, and the second cousin is the only one left in the shop. The fruits at home will soon mature one after another, and the second cousin will inevitably go back to his hometown often to buy goods.

At that time, my aunt and Yuying will take care of the shop, and my cousin will be more relaxed, otherwise it will be inconvenient to even go to the hut.

"That's natural." Jiang Yunniang couldn't help her nephews.

No matter what, her nephews are all her blood relatives. She is very happy to be able to help her nephews here.

After dinner, Jiang Yunniang took her daughter Hongxiao to pack the dishes and wash them, while Zhang Yuying talked with Jiang Quan.

Ying Bao went back to her room alone after washing, lying on the bed and entering the cave in concentration.

Beside the cave pond, rows of clay pots contain golden golden fungus and crystal clear snow fungus, which are ready for harvesting.

But the dried mushrooms that were dried in the bamboo plaque last time have not been confiscated.

Yingbao brought several large baskets made of rattan and put them into the baskets one by one. There were several baskets.

Put it on the scale to weigh it, record the number in the account book, and then go up to check the status of the fruit tree.

Now, the newly planted fruit trees next to the Pupil Spring are blooming one after another, including lychee, longan and papaya.

It is estimated that she will be able to eat lychees in less than a month.

Yingbao picked a basket of apples and planned to take them to the county government office to give to Wu Daozi tomorrow.

I haven’t visited him for a long time, so I just happened to take this opportunity to go and see him and his younger brother Jiang Jie.
