Chapter 284 The Female Supporting Character in the Historical Novel 25

"Erya, what do you think?" The captain asked Jiang Yueshu for her opinion.

Jiang Yueshu nodded and looked at Fang Ruoyao and the captain gratefully, "Thank you, I do!"

Seeing Jiang Yueshu nodded in agreement, the captain said nothing more and started discussing other things.

Most families were not wealthy and could not offer anything. Some people took out a broken iron pot, some took out a box of matches, and some took out a broken stool...

Jiang Yueshu listened to the buzzing sound in her ears, her eyes were sore and swollen, she curled the corners of her lips and carefully wrote down every person who lent a helping hand...

Liu Hongjuan and Jiang Aiguo stood at the back of the crowd. No one noticed them and they didn't say anything. They just watched everyone donate generously, and no one knew what to feel.

Grandma Jiang quietly came out of the inner room where they lived and stayed in her own room without coming out.

As for the other two brothers of Jiang Erya, except when they were called out to do things, they stayed in the room without making a sound the rest of the time. It was obvious that they had no objection to driving Jiang Erya away.

Jiang Yueshu closed the small theater in his sea of ​​consciousness, glanced in the direction of the entire Jiang family, sneered in his heart, and then went to the house at the foot of the mountain accompanied by Fang Ruoyao.

This little episode did not attract everyone's attention. They just thought that Erya was reluctant to leave the Jiang family and could not help but sigh.

In the new house.

Fang Ruoyao's things had been moved in a long time ago. Cheng Shuo knew that she and Jiang Yueshu were going to live together, so for convenience, he asked Hao Zhi to help move the things.

After they each chose a room, they started to clean up.

Cheng Shuo had already sent the cleaning tools over, but fearing that people in the village might gossip about him if they saw him, he left without staying long.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. It was the team leader who called several women and strong men in the village to help deliver the things donated by the villagers.

The team leader held a small bag of food and said, "Erya, this is some food that we will give you from the account. Eat it first, and it will be deducted from your work points when the food is distributed."

"Okay, thank you Captain!" Jiang Yueshu said gratefully.

She sincerely thanked everyone who came to deliver something and then closed the door.

Just as I was about to take out some good things from the space, the door was knocked again.

Cheng Shuo came over.

At this moment, he was carrying two quilts and pillows. When he saw the door open, he quickly jumped in.

"This is an extra one from my house. I've washed it and it's clean. Cover it with it first!"

Jiang Yueshu was separated from the Jiang family and was only given a few worn-out clothes and a backpack. He was watching in the crowd and naturally knew this.

Although it is almost summer, it is still a bit cool at night.

"Wow!"

Jiang Yueshu went forward and sniffed it in surprise. Hmm, it smelled like mites that had been exposed to the sun. Not bad!

She took the quilt with both hands with satisfaction and quickly went to make the bed.

Cheng Shuo, who stayed where he was, looked at her back, raised the corners of his lips, and began to walk around the yard consciously. He picked up tools to help clean the courtyard. After cleaning, he tried to fetch a few buckets of water and repaired possible leaks everywhere.

Here, the three people were tidying up the house so leisurely, and they were all very happy, as if the originally gloomy future had become clearer.

On the other side, the atmosphere in the Jiang family was a little stagnant.

Liu Hongjuan returned to the house with a relieved look on her face. Looking at the written receipt of clearing both parties, she felt as if the huge rock that had been weighing on her heart had finally fallen.

When she thought that today was the day her daughter Liu Qingqing was coming back, Liu Hongjuan was extremely happy. She hummed a little tune for a rare time and looked at the familiar tables and chairs in the house, feeling that they were extremely pleasing to the eye.

But when he saw the extra piece of paper at the foot of the bed, the humming stopped abruptly.

Liu Hongjuan was stunned. She fell to the ground, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. With trembling hands, she looked at the gap on the side of the wooden bed.

Sure enough, the piece of paper that had been blocking the space tightly disappeared.

The money hidden inside disappeared without a trace!

Liu Hongjuan: “!!!”

At that moment, her eyes widened red and the anger in her heart surged like a river.

Who stole her money?

That was the money she had saved for a long time, a total of two hundred yuan!

Afraid that she had remembered it wrong, Liu Hongjuan began to search through the pillows, the soles of shoes stuffed under the bed, and the gaps in the corners of the room.

She searched like crazy for the place where she would keep her money, but after searching for a long time, she could only find fifty!

This is enough to prove that her two hundred dollars was really stolen!

Her heart was bleeding and she felt like she was going to faint in the next second!

She forced herself to calm down, sorted out what had just happened, and set her sights on Jiang Erya and Mrs. Jiang.

She checked before Jiang Erya left and found that she had nothing on her except a few tattered clothes, which meant she was the only one left!

It’s——Mrs. Jiang!

Liu Hongjuan had not taken the previous minor quarrel seriously, but now that damn old woman had torn off such a large piece of her flesh for no reason. It was almost like eating her flesh and drinking her blood. Liu Hongjuan completely hated this mother-in-law.

She couldn't help but want to question him, but she knew that the man would never admit it, and if she went, she would admit that she had been hiding the money.

Thinking of this, Liu Hongjuan had no choice but to close the door tightly, pretending that nothing had happened, and secretly vented her anger.

By the time she calmed down, half an hour had passed.

She calmly picked up the piece of cloth that Mrs. Jiang had chosen earlier and went to the main room. She moved the table to make sure she could always see what was going on in Mrs. Jiang's room, and then she slowly began to make clothes.

As soon as Grandma Jiang opened the door, she saw this scene of being stared at. She gritted her teeth, subconsciously turned sideways, and held her trouser pockets tightly.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Ah? Nothing, what are you doing?" Grandma Jiang quickly changed the subject.

Liu Hongjuan smiled slightly, walked forward with the cloth, and was about to get close to Grandma Jiang, but Grandma Jiang avoided her as if she was afraid.

Both of them were startled. Liu Hongjuan smiled and said, "Mom, why are you hiding? I'm going to make clothes for you. Aiguo is here. How about letting him take a look?"

She directly pulled Jiang Aiguo, who had been smoking a pipe silently in the corner since Jiang Yueshu left, over.

When Jiang Aiguo came to his senses, he saw the scene of the loving mother-in-law and the filial daughter-in-law. His heart was warmed, and the slight guilt and discomfort he had felt for driving Jiang Erya out disappeared in an instant.

"That's great! You two get along well, and everything will be good if your family is harmonious."

Liu Hongjuan smiled and said, "Mom, let's compare again!"

Grandma Jiang evaded the question, "Then wait until I take off my coat, so that the measurement won't be inaccurate."

Liu Hongjuan agreed meekly, "Okay, Mom, you go!" Then she took the cloth and followed Grandma Jiang in.

Grandma Jiang: “…”

"Don't follow me, I change very quickly."

Liu Hongjuan continued to nod, and then stood motionless at the door, watching Grandma Jiang's every move without blinking.

Grandma Jiang: “…”

You're really fucking sick!

She had to take off her shirt carefully, trying her best not to show the bulging trouser pockets.

Seeing her slow movements, Liu Hongjuan narrowed her eyes and was instantly certain that the money must be on her.

Grandma Jiang's body was a little stiff. She put her arms on both sides and firmly held the piece of cloth under her trouser pocket. She didn't even dare to move.

Liu Hongjuan put the cloth on Grandma Jiang without any knowledge, and Grandma Jiang jokingly asked her to only show the half of her arm and waist where the money was not hidden.

Liu Hongjuan cooperated very well throughout the whole process, even giving her the illusion that she didn't know she had lost the money.

After the competition, Liu Hongjuan invited Grandma Jiang to watch her make clothes.

Grandma Jiang sat there stiffly, absent-minded.

Liu Hongjuan was calm and composed, drawing the lines slowly and elegantly.

Jiang Aiguo looked at his happy old mother and wife with a gentle expression.

The three of them seemed to be in a room of their own. This was the scene Liu Qingqing saw when she came back with bags in her arms.

She sensed something strange, but calmly threw the packages on the ground, breathing heavily to recover from the fatigue of carrying the heavy loads.

When Liu Hongjuan saw her daughter, she was about to walk over to say a few words of concern, but when she saw Grandma Jiang nearby, she came to her senses, changed her mind, and sat still.

She looked at her daughter and asked from a distance, "Are you back, Qingqing?"

Liu Qingqing nodded, but the first thing she said was, "Mom, where's Jiang Erya!"

Her question instantly woke up Jiang Aiguo, who was sitting in the corner with a sudden drop in pressure, and he glanced over.

Liu Qingqing didn't notice it, and was still innocently acting coquettishly to her mother, "Mom, I'm so tired from work! I'm really too busy to do the laundry, and Erya is free, so let her do the laundry!"

As she spoke, she deliberately kicked the two packages at her feet.

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

Glancing at her husband who looked confused and about to get angry, she quickly changed the subject, "Take your things away and go back to your room!"

Liu Qingqing didn't understand what was going on, but seeing her mother's serious expression, she subconsciously obeyed and carried the two packages into the house.

After doing all this, she returned to the main room and confronted her mother in silence.

She had been really tired and hard over the past month. Not only was she not welcomed by the whole family when she returned, but her mother was also very cold towards her. She couldn't help feeling wronged.

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

At one point, she wondered if she had given birth to a fool.

It's already this time, is she still so brave?

After a long time, the aggrieved Liu Qingqing's eyes turned red and tears fell.

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

She sighed softly, packed up the things in her hands, quickly put them back in the room, and came out quickly. In fact, Grandma Jiang didn't even have time to do anything else during this process.

She took Liu Qingqing's hand and walked into the yard. She placed the stool and made sure she could see what was going on in the main room before she leaned close to her daughter and whispered.

"Qingqing! Jiang Erya has been separated from the Jiang family. You don't have to care about her in the future. When you see her, just pretend you don't know her." Liu Hongjuan said concisely.

Liu Qingqing was dumbfounded, and for a long time she didn't come back to her senses. She just stammered and asked, "Mom, are you telling the truth?"

Liu Hongjuan nodded, "Really, the team leader and the secretary came to notarize it, and the written agreement and the severance of the relationship are all at home."

"Ah? What about my pile of clothes?"

Liu Qingqing's first subconscious reaction was the two bags of dirty clothes that she had not yet washed.

Liu Hongjuan: “…”

"Mom will help you wash it this time, but you have to learn to wash it yourself in the future."

Liu Qingqing was happy that someone had taken over the dirty clothes. She began to be curious about Jiang Erya's separation from the Jiang family and did not care about the second half of Liu Hongjuan's words.

"Mom, what happened? Why did Jiang Erya get separated?"

Liu Hongjuan snorted, "She can't have children now, no one dares to marry her home, we can't let the Jiang family keep her forever!"

Liu Qingqing suddenly remembered something and said in dissatisfaction, "Mom, where is her betrothal money? Didn't you say you would buy me a bicycle?"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned this matter. As soon as she mentioned the bicycle, Liu Hongjuan remembered the two hundred yuan that was stolen from her. She looked towards a certain place in the main room with hatred in her eyes.

"Without the bride price, no one would be willing to marry her. Where does the bride price come from?" Liu Hongjuan was a little angry.

Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment when she was yelled at, and felt that her mother seemed to be in a bad mood.

Liu Hongjuan: "By the way, how much is your salary this month?"

Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then started to fish around. After a while, she took out a big unity banknote.

After taking it out, she just sat there motionless.

Liu Hongjuan: "...what about the others?"

Liu Qingqing looked up, looking somewhat innocent, "Mom, didn't you just take ten dollars from home last time?"

Liu Hongjuan felt a blow to her heart, "...Oh, because you spent ten dollars from your family, so you only plan to take out ten dollars, right?"

"Mom!" Liu Qingqing was a little embarrassed. "Didn't you say that those were my dowry? What's wrong with me keeping them?"

Liu Hongjuan nodded, "Yes, but I have to keep them so that you don't spend them lavishly."

The two began a new round of silent confrontation. Liu Qingqing was the first to lose, and she reached in again.

Five dollars was put in Liu Hongjuan's hand.

After meeting Liu Hongjuan's inquiring eyes, Liu Qingqing shrank her neck and said, "Mom, that's all. I spent the two dollars."

Liu Hongjuan took a breath of cold air and was almost mad at her daughter.

If it were before, she would have spent it, but things are different now!

She lost two hundred dollars! That's a huge sum of money!

That night, the Jiang family turned off the kerosene lamps early, and the entire Jiang family fell into darkness.

I don’t know how long it took, but under the bright moonlight, a faint sound was heard in a room, and the door creaked open.

A black shadow groped slowly forward in the darkness, and soon the gate opened.

A dark shadow appeared under the big tree next to the door, and started digging the ground in the moonlight.

After the man took something out of his body, he squatted down and buried it again.

-

On the other side, Jiang Yueshu invited Cheng Shuo to go out for a walk.

The corner of Cheng Shuo's mouth twitched. It was already past eleven o'clock. Taking a walk at this time?
