Although he didn't voice out the doubts in his heart to Jiang Fangping, he still picked up a wooden stick on the ground and hid it behind him after entering the courtyard.
"Xiangyun..." Jiang Fangping who was at the side gasped.
"Shh, nothing, I just thought it was weird!" Zhao Xiangyun lowered his voice.
The road did not pick up things nor did they close their doors at night. This was the true portrayal of this era, but it did not mean that there were really no thieves in this era.
There would always be people who wanted to take the risk without putting in effort.
Just to be safe, Zhao Xiangyun handed the bamboo basket with crabs inside to Jiang Fangping, and told Jiang Fangping to move a little further away from him.
If anything happened, Jiang Fangping could just rush out and call for his men.
… ….
In the Zhao Family kitchen.
Jiang Qiuyue was rummaging through the boxes, looking for something.
After wandering around the county town for an entire day, she starved until she was hungry. Whenever she met someone, she would ask about the way the team of people her big brother was staying in walked. She even asked Zhao Xiangyun about it.
When he heard that Jiang Qiuyue was looking for him, he thought that Zhao Zhiyuan was a relative of the Captain, so he decided to travel some distance over.
Jiang Qiuyue was already so hungry that his chest was close to his back, he ordered the donkey driver to take him to Zhao Xiangyun's house, and then chased him away, directly entering the Zhao Family's courtyard.
The first thing Jiang Qiuyue did was to go to the kitchen.
After rummaging through the cabinet, he finally found the kidney beans that Chen Wuyue had left in the cupboard, which was stewed with lard, as well as some pancakes.
They were left for the evening meal, not enough for the family, but enough for two laborers.
Jiang Qiuyue directly used his hands to grab the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth. When he finished eating, he used his hands to grab the kidney bean.
What was clean, what was unhygienic, she was ignored.
After eating his fill and drinking his fill, he washed his hands and wiped his face with a large vat of water from the Zhao Family.
He then picked up the towel hanging by the kitchen door and wiped his hands, then his feet. After wiping his feet, he threw it into the big iron pot that Zhao Xiangyun was cooking in.
Look here, touch there, throw it on the ground if you don't like it, and step on it twice.
The entire kitchen could only be described as a tragic sight.
However, Jiang Qiuyue who had just eaten his fill was still complaining, "With this kind of condition, you still have the nerve to marry a city dweller? Are you crazy? "
Jiang Qiuyue looked around, and the more he looked, the more he was dissatisfied.
He thought about the hardships he had suffered, the starvation, the cold …
Jiang Qiuyue picked up the stone used to sharpen a blade that was placed on the side of the haystack, and smashed it down towards the Zhao Family pot …
Just as Zhao Xiangyun was prepared to push open the door and enter the kitchen, he suddenly heard a loud * Clang * sound from inside, as if something had been smashed.
Zhao Xiangyun's grip on the wooden stick tightened as she kicked the door open.
Jiang Qiuyue who was in the room was startled.
The three of them opened their mouths at the same time.
Zhao Xiangyun: "It's you …"
Jiang Fangping: "It's you …"
Jiang Qiuyue, "You actually came …"
Jiang Fangping didn't expect Jiang Fangping to know her, so she looked towards Jiang Fangping.
Zhao Xiangyun: "Fang Ping, how do you know Jiang Weimin's sister?"
Jiang Fangping had a stunned expression, "She's Big Brother Jiang's sister? "Heavens, she's the woman who stopped me in the street and asked me for money. I'll give her one point, but she doesn't think it's enough!"
When Jiang Fangping mentioned about the people and things that he had met, the first thing that came to mind was Jiang Qiuyue. She didn't expect it to be true.
Wasn't she in New Capital City?
Why did he come here?
The city Zhao Xiangyun was in was quite a distance away from New Capital City, and adding in the time that had passed, it would take almost ten days to reach it.
Jiang Qiuyue was instantly angered by Jiang Fangping's words. "Did I say something wrong? I asked for money from you, why did you only give me a single point? "
Then, he added, "I know the reason now, because you, Zhao Xiangyun, this countryside woman, is in my group."
Jiang Weimin's sister being so unreasonable was beyond Jiang Fangping's expectations.
She looked at Zhao Xiangyun in shock.
Zhao Xiangyun looked at her, reassuring her.
Looking around the entire kitchen, his gaze finally landed on the big iron pot with a hole in it. Zhao Xiangyun asked angrily, "You made this kitchen? Our family's pot, was smashed by you? "
The pot was the lifeblood of a family.
A few years ago, when they were engaged in mass production in the commune, the entire company ate and stayed together with the steelmaking staff. Even the iron pot was taken away to be used for steelmaking.
Later, when everyone was cooking, many people nearly hanged themselves because of the pot.
It was also because Chen Wuyue's brothers and sisters had sent their industrial vouchers in time that the Zhao Family became the first household to buy pans.
This pot had followed the Zhao Family for more than ten years already. It was around the same age as Zhao Xiangyun, yet it was smashed by Jiang Qiuyue just like that. How could she not be angry?
However, Jiang Qiuyue acted as if nothing had happened and said, "It was my fault, someone like your family is not fit to eat!"
"It doesn't matter if you said that our family doesn't deserve to eat, but if you enter the house and ruin the property …" Zhao Xiangyun saw the plate that was thrown onto the stove, the plate that had been eaten clean. He added, "Join the room for stealing, don't think you can get away with it!"
"You …"
"Fang Ping, help me call my dad, he should be working right now, just find someone to ask." And... And Jiang Weimin! " Zhao Xiangyun said.
Jiang Fangping nodded heavily, put down the bamboo basket in his hand and rushed out.
Jiang Qiuyue wasn't afraid of Zhao Xiangyun's father, but as for her brother … Hmph, can you even skin her?
She found a stool for herself and sat down comfortably. She had a look of 'I'm right here, what can you do about me'.
Zhao Xiangyun sneered as he looked at Jiang Qiuyue.
If she wasn't Jiang Weimin's blood related sister, she would have rushed up to him and slapped him twice already.
Seeing the shameless Jiang Qiuyue, Zhao Xiangyun wondered once again whether this Jiang Qiuyue had been picked up from the ground, or maybe, Jiang Weimin had been picked up from the ground.
He didn't look like a member of the Jiang family at all.
But Jiang Weimin and her mother-in-law Xu Hui had similar facial features. On the other hand, Jiang Qiuyue didn't look like her mother-in-law at all.
Maybe it was someone like Jiang Weimin's father, her father-in-law?
Zhao Xiangyun had never seen this eunuch before, so he had heard Jiang Weimin talk about a few matters regarding eunuchs. But he was also a very kind person, plus he was a knowledgeable person, how could he …
Not long after Jiang Fangping left, he brought Zhao Zhiyuan and Jiang Weimin back.
Along with him, was Zhao Xingguo.
Hearing that it was Jiang Weimin's younger sister, Zhao Zhiyuan did not call anyone else and could be considered to have given Jiang Weimin face.
Jiang Weimin's face was as cold as ice.
Although they did not express their opinion, Zhao Zhiyuan and Zhao Xingguo could tell that he was extremely dissatisfied with what his little sister had done.
