Chapter 307

The matter of the pigeon came to an end, and Jiang Wei called over Zhao Dasao.

She asked Zhao Dasao to keep a close eye on Wu Sanshen.

Zhao Dasao heard this, didn't ask for the reason, and nodded in agreement.

After Zhao Dasao left, Jiang Wei began to have a headache again about how to transport these ten thousand pieces of soap to Xuzhou.

Originally, she had planned to make another trip to Xuzhou herself to transport all the soap.

But now that the Zhao Family matter had happened, Jiang Wei absolutely dared not leave the family matters behind and go to Xuzhou alone.

She had to find someone to go in her place.

While Jiang Wei was worrying, a big event happened at the Lizheng's house in Yuhe Village.

The Lizheng's eldest son, Liu Dahu, had returned.

Originally, it should have been a happy event for relatives to meet, but the Lizheng's house was filled with gloom.

"Sigh, Dahu, is your wife's illness really incurable?" The Lizheng sat in the courtyard, puffing on his tobacco pipe, "Our family has saved some money this year, why don't we take her to the city to see a doctor?"

Beside him, the Lizheng's old mother, Liu Laotaitai, hunched her body and said: "That's right, there's no illness in this world that a doctor can't cure. Let's pack our luggage now and go to the city to find the best doctor to treat San Niang's illness."

Liu Dahu shook his head: "I've already asked; the doctor said it's an incurable disease and cannot be cured."

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people in the courtyard were instantly stunned.

"In... incurable disease?" The Lizheng spoke tremblingly, forgetting even to smoke the tobacco pipe at his lips, and said with an unbelievable face, "T-that doctor really said San Niang has an incurable disease?!"

Liu Dahu nodded gloomily.

"W-what should we do now?" Hearing that the eldest daughter-in-law had an incurable disease, Liu Laotaitai couldn't help but wipe away tears, "San Niang is such a good person, and she's still so young, how could she..."

As she cried, the two grandchildren beside her also followed suit and cried.

Liu Laotaitai hurriedly stopped crying and pulled the two grandchildren into her arms to comfort them.

One of the younger ones cried and said: "Great-grandmother, is Mother going to leave us..."

"No, no, your mother will definitely get better. Our family will definitely find a way to cure your mother no matter what..."

The Lizheng listened to the crying of the two children, his heart feeling sour. He touched the tobacco pouch in his hand, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly stood up and went outside.

"Father, where are you going?" Liu Dahu asked.

"I'm going to find Xiaoxiao's mother." The Lizheng looked back and said, "Maybe she can have a way..."

"You mean the third daughter-in-law of the Li Family?"

"Pah, pah, Dahu, you are not allowed to call her that in the future. That Old Li Family is not a good thing; Xiaoxiao's mother has no relationship with their family anymore." Liu Laotaitai corrected sternly, "She has already moved out with Xiaoxiao and set up her own household; she is even more capable than you big men."

"Is that so..." Liu Dahu scratched his head in embarrassment. He had been living outside for the past few years, and his wife and children were also outside, so he knew many things that had happened in the village.

"... Then listening to you say that, that Madam Jiang is a capable person, but even a doctor can't cure the illness, can she cure it?"

The Lizheng shook his head.

It was probably a habit formed over the past half year; whenever he encountered difficulties, he would subconsciously think of Xiaoxiao's mother.

He always felt that Jiang Wei was an omnipotent person; it seemed that no matter what happened, she could solve it.

Xiaoxiao's mother was not a doctor, and he didn't know if she could cure Qing Niang's illness, but treating a dead horse as a living one, trying it out, maybe it could work.

"Alright then, I'll go with you to find her." Liu Dahu saw that his father trusted this Madam Jiang so much, so he would go and try it too.

Thus, the father and son went to the Jiang house together.

Liu Dahu hadn't returned to Yuhe Village for many years. When he arrived at the area where the Jiang family lived, he couldn't help but be surprised. When was such a large area of bungalows built here, and high walls were built around it? Was there anything important inside?

When standing in front of the Jiang family gate, Liu Dahu was shocked again by the tall and thick courtyard gate of the Jiang family. The courtyard walls of the Jiang family were built like the city walls of a moat; he was afraid that not even an ant could crawl in.

The Lizheng knocked on the Jiang family gate.

Soon, someone came to open the door.

The person who opened the door was a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tall figure.

She shouldn't be from Yuhe Village; her eyes sized up the two of them vigilantly.

The Lizheng saw that she didn't recognize him, but he wasn't annoyed, only smiling: "You must be the girl Xiaoxiao's mother brought back from Xuzhou. I am the Lizheng of this village; I have something to find Xiaoxiao's mother for."

Jiang Xuelian sized up the two of them; she seemed to have some impression. Earlier, Xiaoxiao had pulled her and told her which people in the village had a good relationship with her family.

She had seen Liu Dahong who worked in the soap workshop.

And this Lizheng was Liu Dahong's biological father, and they did indeed look quite alike.

"Then you can come in; Madam Jiang is in the house." Jiang Xuelian opened the door and let the two of them in.

Once inside the courtyard, even Liu Dahu, who had been prepared, couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent floors in front of him.

Only at this moment did he personally experience the sentence Liu Laotaitai said earlier, that the Madam of the Jiang family was even more capable than them big men...

"Lizheng Uncle, why are you here?" Jiang Wei happened to come out of the house.

"Xiaoxiao's mother, I have something I want to ask for your help with." The Lizheng walked up and said, "It's about my eldest son; his wife has a strange illness, and the doctor said it's incurable..."

"Strange illness?" Jiang Wei furrowed her brows, "What are the specific symptoms?"

Liu Dahu looked at Jiang Wei in front of him, his heart feeling surprised.

The Madam Jiang he had originally imagined was a woman in her twenties or thirties who had experienced many hardships, but he didn't expect her to be so young, looking only in her early twenties.

But in her words and actions, she presented a kind of sophistication and maturity he had never seen before.

Just at this moment, a childish voice came from the house.

"Mother, who is here?"

While speaking, a five-year-old little girl ran out of the house. She wore double buns, was dressed in a lotus-green narrow-sleeved satin dress, and had a rabbit fur coat on the outside. The whole person looked obedient and cute, with red lips and white teeth.

"Lizheng Grandpa, so it's you who came!"

The little girl's crisp childish voice made a smile appear on the Lizheng's sorrowful face.

He smiled and stroked Jiang Xiaoxiao's head: "Xiaoxiao, I came to find your mother today."

Jiang Xiaoxiao heard this and immediately stood obediently beside Jiang Wei, not speaking anymore.

Liu Dahu then spoke: "My wife has had a strange illness for the past month, coughing and fevering constantly. We found a doctor to see her, but she didn't get better after taking a lot of medicine, and it got even more serious. A month ago, she started coughing up blood. We found a doctor to see her, and he said it was incurable..."

Speaking to the end, his eye sockets couldn't help but turn red.

For his wife's illness, he had already run through medical halls in many towns, but the doctors all said it was incurable and told them to go back and prepare for the funeral...
