Chapter 258: Pity yourself for your misfortune, but be angry and don’t fight
Jiang Anning understood.
As if looking into a mirror, she understood Liu Chunxiang's helplessness and choice.
She didn't agree with Jiang Dashu.
But she had to unite with Jiang Dashu, support all Jiang Dashu's decisions, take Jiang Dashu's will as her will, and Jiang Dashu's goal as her goal.
Be an obedient walking dead, a puppet on strings...
Just like she was back then.
Jiang Anning felt a surge of anger and sadness in her heart for no reason.
But she didn't know who this anger was directed at! Who is this sadness for?
Looking at Liu Chunxiang's numb face, she suddenly felt that some memories from her previous life became really clear.
In her previous life, she had been domestically abused by Zhao Hai many times and when she insisted on making peace with him, many women in the village, under the instruction of Chief Jiang, came to her home to persuade her to go back and to be patient and follow him for the sake of the family. She said that after having children, men will naturally know how to make progress...Liu Chunxiang is one of the women who comes to persuade her every time.
It had been so long that Jiang Anning was in a daze and had forgotten the past.
After her reconciliation failed and she had no choice but to accept her fate, her only memory was those fists that were as dense as raindrops.
Zhao Hai did not do what he promised and promised that he would never fight with her again or hit her again.
Instead, they intensified the torture, not only punching, kicking and beating her with sticks, but also subjected her to more dehumanizing torture.
The reason why she didn't die immediately was because she was destined to be lucky.
At that time, she couldn't even help but wonder if she was suffering so much in this life because she had committed such crimes in her previous life.
Even if you want to die, you can't.
Until she was twenty-five years old... Under the continuous beatings and beatings by the Zhao family, her body was completely hollowed out and she never woke up after falling down.
The memory of the period before death was really painful.
So much so that since her rebirth, she only has deep memories of the days of suffering after the compromise.
He has forgotten many things about other people in the village.
Although, since she got married, she has been with the villagers. In fact, there isn’t much contact anymore.
Before she got married, she didn't have much contact with the people in the village.
Except for the neighbors on the left and right, everyone occasionally borrows things from each other, and the people nearby just meet each other, say hello, and then go about their own business without disturbing each other.
Not very intimate.
People in the village despised her family as outsiders.
He even disliked her for being unlucky and killed his parents.
She was even more worried that the tragic death of her parents would bring trouble to the entire village.
Everyone is afraid to avoid her.
Liu Chunxiang...she has an impression.
At that time, most of the people who came to her home advised her to endure it. Only Liu Chunxiang and the other two women remained silent.
Just like he is now, he looks numb.
At that time, she didn't understand.
Now, she seemed to suddenly understand something.
Everyone is a miserable person.
Jiang Anning still remembered that at that time, most people advised her to go back to Zhao's house early, live a good life with Zhao Hai, and have more children... Only Liu Chunxiang, who said nothing, said something while leaving. Give her half a piece of black and yellow brown sugar.
At that time, she thought this woman was really strange. She didn't say anything and stuffed a piece of dirty brown sugar into her hand that had been there for an unknown period of time and had traces of ants crawling on it.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that half a piece of brown sugar is the only "good thing" she can take out.
Jiang Anning felt a little mixed for a moment.
Wang Shang ordered the arrest of Patriarch Jiang. He was disgusted with the noise, so he had his shoes taken off and his mouth blocked with socks.
When Jiang Dashu next to him saw this, he immediately shut up.
Patriarch Jiang and his men forced their way into people's houses, set fire to them, destroyed a large amount of property, and burned down the houses. This was no small crime.
At this moment, Chief Jiang was arrested.
Others who took action inevitably wanted to run away.
I was afraid that they would be the ones caught later.
No one wants to admit that they have committed arson.
"...If you take the initiative to stand up now, I can still use my discretion to treat you as surrendering and report it to the county magistrate. I will give you a lighter sentence."
"But if you don't admit it to anyone?" Wang Shang looked around at the crowd: "Then don't blame me, I'll arrest you all!"
"Don't think that if the law doesn't punish everyone, I won't be able to do anything to you."
“The county government’s jail cannot accommodate all of you, but at this time of year, it’s not impossible to find a good place for you.”
"Our Jiang'an County is surrounded by water on three sides, and there are many river dams nearby."
"It just so happens that it's time to do the hard work and build the river dam. I think it's better to exempt the other villages from the hard work and let everyone in Jiangjia Village do the work."
Wang Shang suddenly said sternly: "Everyone present is counted, no matter male or female, young or old!"
"Everyone go and build the river dam for me!"
Hearing this, everyone suddenly became frightened and started chattering.
"How can this be like this?"
"I didn't set the fire, why should I be guilty of the same crime?"
"Who set the fire? Can you please stand up and admit it quickly? If one person does something and the other is responsible, why should we follow you to suffer and suffer bad luck!"
"Master, I want to report it!"
Suddenly, there was silence in the crowd.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Chuanzong who raised his hands and shouted "I want to report".
Jiang Chuanzong swallowed, his voice was slightly weaker, and he still pointed at the eldest son of the Jiang family and said: "He, he set a fire!"
The boss of the Jiang family hurriedly cursed with guilt: "What are you yelling about? Who set the fire?"
"It's you! I saw it all."
Jiang Chuanzong swallowed, and under the gaze of everyone, he inevitably felt a little more nervous,
But he still pointed at the person with a firm voice and said: "You were the one who set fire to the original lower room of the old Zhao family!"
"The piles of firewood in the lower room are basically dried firewood. After you light it, the fire will become bigger in an instant."
"That's why all the other houses will be burned down."
"If it weren't for the several nurses at Jiang Anning's house who risked their lives to put out the fire, I'm afraid that by now, I would have followed the direction of the wind and spread throughout the village!"
Jiang Chuanzong said, adding a bit of anger.
Not far from Jiang Anning's house, and in the downstream direction that was blown by the wind at that time, was his firewood pile!
If any spark ignites this little nest that he has worked hard to save for half his life and belongs to him, then everything will be ruined!
"We came here with your masters. We want to take advantage of Jiang Anning and extort some money to spend and improve our family's life."
"But we have never thought of doing something as vicious as murder and arson!"
"One person is responsible for the work. Why should we, the whole village, sit together to do what your family has done?"
With Jiang Chuanzong at the beginning, others immediately started to accuse him.
"Yes, you are right!"
"One person is responsible for the work, and whoever set the fire has admitted it. Why should we, who did not set the fire at all, be allowed to sit together?"
"I want to report it too!"
"I saw it, I saw it too!"
"That so and so, and that so and so..."
As everyone blamed each other, those who participated in the arson were found out one by one.
Every time the crowd pointed out someone, Wang Shang would ask the police officers to come forward and lock the person up.
In a short time, no fewer than twenty people were captured.
He smiled a little playfully: "It seems that you are a failure in life."
"There are actually so many people in this village who dislike you and come to your house to set fire and commit murder."
Jiang Anning rolled her eyes at him: "The failure of Honghu should not be judged based on the behavior of ants."
"What Mr. Headcatcher said is really biased."
Wang Shang laughed a few times.
"Sharp and sharp-tongued."
Little girl, I'm looking forward to seeing how bloody you will stir up in the dragon's den and the tiger's den when you arrive in the capital!
Only then did Wang Shang finally admit that he had misjudged this girl.
"Bring all these people back to the Yamen!"
Looking away from Jiang Anning, Wang Shang gave the order coldly.
Others were about to disperse, but Wang Shang suddenly stopped: "From now on, everyone involved in the incident is not allowed to leave this courtyard until the matter is investigated clearly."
"If anyone dares to leave secretly, they will be treated as the same crime."
When everyone heard this, they immediately felt like mourning for their heirs, wailing and wailing.
Wang Shang ignored it completely, turned to look at Jiang Anning, and said in a business-like manner: "I will take away all those who committed arson and murder. Madam Jiang will also make statistics as soon as possible to see how much has been lost." Go to the Yamen and explain to us.”
"Let the county magistrate also have a basis for sentencing."
"When the time comes, the sentence should be heavy and the compensation should be compensated."
"No one can escape."
As Wang Shang spoke, his eyes once again glanced at the villagers who were mourning for their heirs. It was obvious that the following sentence "compensation that deserves compensation" was meant for them.
Everyone's faces were filled with disgrace, as if they had been struck by lightning.
Jiang Anning thanked him very cooperatively: "Thank you, Mr. Headcatcher, for doing justice to me."
Wang Shang nodded.
Two detectives were left behind, staring at the remaining villagers: "Watch them carefully. Anyone who dares to run around will be killed on the spot!"
Everyone was instantly shocked, "Huh?"
Even the two young detectives who were left behind were a little shocked.
"Sir..." One of them approached Wang Shang and asked in a low voice: "Isn't it a bit too much to kill on the spot?" It's too much!
Wang Shang glared at the person: "What's wrong? Breaking into people's houses and setting fire to the village. Do you think this is a small matter?"
"This is an extremely bad plot!"
"The thoughts are extremely vicious!" "There are trees connected with trees and villages connected with villages. Once the wind direction reverses and the fire spreads, do you think Jiangjia Village will be the only one who loses?"
"If you are not careful, half of Jiang'an County will be burned clean by them!"
"When the time comes, let alone you and me, even our county magistrate will be held accountable!"
The little catcher couldn't help but feel frightened when he said that.
He looked at the dense mulberry forest not far from the Zhao family's backyard. Behind the forest was Mulberry Village. Mulberry Village was a big village. Thinking about what Wang Shang said, it was really not an exaggeration.
If it really started to burn, I'm afraid the entire forest would be burned clean.
Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison.
The young catcher suddenly didn't dare to speak, and when he looked at the people in Jiangjia Village, he immediately lost his good expression.
After sending Wang Shang and others away, Jiang Anning frowned slightly.
His eyes fell on Jiang Dashu, who was staggered by someone and refused to follow him. As a result, he fell to the ground and was kicked twice. He felt depressed.
The person has been captured, and if he wants to kill him, it will take some effort.
It's easier for him!
When she got home and saw several seriously injured nurses lying on the kang in the west room, Jiang Anning felt even more that they were being advantaged!
"Why is the injury so serious?"
"Didn't you say it's no big deal?"
She looked at the young man who went to deliver the letter, already blaming him.
Captain Cai hurriedly stood up and explained: "When Xiao Liuzi went to deliver the message to you, the fire was not very strong. Those villagers were no match for us in a fight. They were just beating us with hoes and sticks in their hands." We were caught off guard and suffered a little loss.”
"Later, when we were arguing with them, the fire that had been extinguished rekindled and suddenly burst into flames."
"These guys were thinking that there were still a lot of unburned cocoons and they could save them one by one. However, the fire suddenly became so fierce that the beams of the house were burned down and they almost didn't escape..."
Hearing that the person had barely escaped, Jiang Anning immediately turned cold and said angrily: "Before I left, didn't I tell you that nothing is more important than saving your own life!"
"We just thought that those expensive cocoons could be sold for a lot of money. It would be a pity to burn them..."
As soon as the escort leader Cai carefully argued, he was interrupted by Jiang Anning angrily: "What's a pity? Is it a pity to lose your life?"
Seeing that the man was obviously angry, Biao Cai stopped his voice and did not dare to explain.
The more he explained, the angrier Jiang Anning seemed to be.
Seeing that the person was silent, Jiang Anning gave the person a fierce look, calmed down a little, and turned to look at the old doctor: "Brother, they are so injured..."
"It can be considered a good fortune. Although the injured area is large, it is mostly abrasions. It looks a bit scary. Take good care of it, but it's nothing."
The old doctor comforted her in a gentle voice: "The weather is not too hot now, and it is especially cooler this year, so you will suffer a little less. Don't be angry with them."
"You are also lucky to have such nursing staff who are willing to sacrifice their lives for your sake!"
Jiang Anning snorted angrily.
Who wants them to sacrifice their lives?
However, in the end, he didn't say any more words of reprimand. He only said: "It's better to let them suffer severely. Let's see if they dare to do this and act without their lives in the future."
After saying that, he couldn't help but say: "I was in a hurry and didn't bother to explain clearly. Did you bring any good medicine? If you want the best one, I'll pay for it!"
"If you give it to your people, can I still use the bad ones?"
The old doctor smiled and joked: "Don't worry, it's all recorded in your account. If you dare not pay me later, I will go to your house to collect debts with gongs and drums!"
"I will definitely give it."
The two talked for a while. Jiang Anning saw their injuries and found that they were really scary. They would not kill them, but they would only suffer for a few days, so she felt a lot more relieved.
The old doctor's method of dealing with this kind of trauma was very good and meticulous, which added a layer of protection to the lives of several people.
Jiang Anning asked them to take a good rest and take good care of themselves.
He found Sui Ran again and expressed his apology.
"I'm so sorry, Sister-in-law Guicheng, look at these people here, I'm afraid they will delay your daily life."
Sui Ranmei stared: "What nonsense are you talking about? If it weren't for you, how could Guicheng and I have the good life we have now? There is no need to delay, not to mention, this is your home."
These days, she has become more and more prosperous, and her whole person is much more mellow.
His face was even more fleshy, and he looked a little softer than before.
"My house is almost tidied up. I originally planned to invite you to have a pot-fired meal after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I moved here."
In the past six months, she has made a lot of money.
The spicy soup and jelly that Jiang Anning taught her are selling very well.
Now, it has become a signboard of Ruifeng Town.
Not long ago, with the help of Jiang Anning, he successfully bought a small shop in the town with full payment.
The shop is not big, and no one can live in the back.
However, as it faces the street and is close to the pier, there is a lot of traffic and the business is not bad.
The couple even named their shop Anning Spicy Soup Shop.
Thinking that in the future, when this small shop is passed on to future generations, they should be taught and reminded not to forget the help and kindness An Ning gave to their family back then.
Sui Ran touched her belly that was not too pregnant with soft eyes, and whispered softly: "Don't be polite to me. Without you, how could we be where we are today?"
"By the way, you didn't know, right? The eldest son of Aunt Fang's family has recently asked for a daughter-in-law!"
"I heard that the woman's family also has a brother who is a scholar. He is a very good family."
Aunt Fang has also made a lot of money in the past six months.
At first, he was selling spicy soup with Sui Ran and the others, helping with the work, and the three of them shared the money earned equally.
Later, the couple decided to make this spicy soup into the signature dish of Ruifeng Town.
Aunt Fang just wanted to do some other business.
Jiang Anning picked out a few snacks from the notes left by her mother-in-law and asked Aunt Fang to choose one.
Aunt Fang finally chose to roll on the donkey.
Business is pretty good now.
I push a small cart every day and go out for a walk. When the items are sold out, I close the stall, which is very relaxing.
"Then the relationship is better! When the marriage is finalized, I will have to come and have a wedding banquet."
Jiang Anning was really happy for Aunt Fang.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he was going to the capital.
After leaving, it is difficult to determine the return date.
It's not even clear whether there will be a return date.
"Look at my brain, I'm afraid I've forgotten everything. I can only give you a generous gift to express my feelings."
Jiang Anning felt helpless: "I just hope that when the time comes, Aunt Fang won't blame me for being rude."
"What are you two hiding here, sneaking around? Are you talking about me?"
Aunt Fang's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two people.
The two of them were so frightened that they became excited.
"Hey, my aunt, you are such a quiet bird, are you trying to scare someone to death?" Sui Ran patted his chest exaggeratedly.
Aunt Fang glared at her angrily: "Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about? You are already twins, and you still have no taboo about talking."
Sui Ran was not angry or annoyed even after being scolded, but smiled cooperating to drive away the bad luck.
"I said the wrong thing."
She held him up like a treasure and said: "What if there is an old man in this family, what if there is a treasure? Look, if there is no one with life experience in the family who can help keep an eye on these big things and small things, It’s really easy to make a joke.”
Aunt Fang glared at the person again: "Poor-tongued! I don't know who you learned this from. I used to think you had an honest and honest temper, but now you are becoming more and more glib! You don't have a straight face, that is, your Jiang Guicheng I'll just spoil you. If it were someone else, I might have scolded you for being useless..."
She paused slightly, frowned and thought for a moment: "Oh, yes, a virtuous woman speaks of a virtuous woman and her merits."
"Bah! Who cares about his spoiling?"
Sui Ran put her hands on her hips, unwilling to be outdone: "Even without him, can I still live my life?"
She raised her hand and stroked her slightly bulging belly: "Even if I am alone, I can still give birth to the baby in my belly and raise it well."
"Hey, hey!" Aunt Fang clicked her tongue a few times, pointed at the person and complained to Jiang Anning: "Look at how flamboyant she is, she is even more amazing now."
"You even dare to express the idea of leaving your father and leaving your son."
"But give her the ability."
Aunt Fang said disgusting words, but her smiling eyes were full of pride.
Jiang Anning just covered her mouth and laughed.
Sui Ran glared at Aunt Fang: "What are you talking about? What does it mean to leave the father and leave the son? I have never thought about it in this way. Auntie, don't be blind here."
"Tell me later that Guicheng heard me and started to make trouble with me again."
"I have two bodies now, and I can't stand his torture."
Aunt Fang laughed.
Sui Ran could only stare at her with wide eyes.
"Auntie said to me, aren't you getting married today? It doesn't look like you're getting married and seeing your wife, but rather like you went to school and came back smelling like a scholar. ”
She came forward like a gossip: "How about it? I heard that they come from a family of scholars! Everyone in the family is good at reading, and even the girl is well-educated and has several cars."
"You are so rich that you have many cars!" Aunt Fang said with disdain: "Look at your uneducated look! That's called being rich with five cars."
"Hey, yes, yes, you are rich in learning."
As Sui Ran spoke, he couldn't help but mutter: "Aren't those five cars just several cars?"
Jiang Anning listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but became happy.
Sui Ran glanced over and pursed his lips, feeling aggrieved.
"Look, even An Ning is laughing at you."
Aunt Fang snorted: "It's terrible to be uneducated."
"I haven't read a book, and I don't have any talented brothers. What's wrong with being uneducated?"
Sui Ran was unconvinced: "It's normal to be uneducated."
"If An Ning hadn't helped me, I would still be a farm girl digging in the dirt!"
