Chapter 14: Forcing the Two Brothers to Retreat

Once these words came out, the onlookers couldn't hold back anymore. After all, dirty water had begun to splash on themselves, and they all accused the Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui brothers.

"I'm afraid their own hearts are dirty, and everything they see is dirty."

"Who doesn't know that our Da Jiang Cun is the most united, and mutual help is the right thing!"

"We all have eyes, your nonsense doesn't count."

Seeing that the crowd's eyes were unkind, the two didn't dare to provoke public anger and apologized repeatedly.

"It was my two brothers who didn't consider it well, everyone don't count it against us."

Jiang Li looked at her sister-in-law "Li Zhaodi" with admiration, and Mother Liu's eyes were full of satisfaction. Even Jiang Cai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But Jiang Gui wouldn't let the other party go so easily, and immediately asked back: "Then sister-in-law not being filial is always a fact, right?"

Li Xinyue asked back: "Where is it not filial? I'd like to hear it."

Jiang Gui bowed to the crowd: "It just so happens that everyone is here today, let everyone judge."

"My third brother died on the battlefield, and my whole family was very sad, but sister-in-law didn't give a cent of the pension money from the government to her parents-in-law. Isn't this unfilial?"

According to the information obtained from memory, Li Xinyue countered: "If I remember correctly, you had already separated the family, and even asked the village head grandfather to be the middleman."

This matter caused a sensation in Da Jiang Cun at the time. Jiang Jinshi's grandparents were dissatisfied with Jiang Jinshi's family and sent them away with some land in a corner.

The Jiang Jinshi family who was driven out didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. In the end, it was the villagers who helped build the thatched house.

Even so, after Jiang's father joined the army, he would take a part of his monthly grain salary to the main family, not to mention that when he returned home to visit relatives, the main family ate more sumptuously than their small family.

Of course, the Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui brothers wouldn't consider these, still righteously stating their dissatisfaction.

"Why? Can you not be filial after separating the family?"

Li Xinyue didn't retreat a step and responded: "If the three families were divided equally, then naturally each would do their filial piety, but you two took the good things, and let the orphans and widows do the filial piety. If it spreads out, don't be afraid of laughing off your big teeth."

"If you two are wastes and can't do this filial piety, then let out the land, money, and grain at home, so that everyone can see if we can do filial piety."

The "Li Zhaodi" who was eloquent in front of her refreshed everyone's three views. In the past, they hadn't found that this girl was so eloquent.

Li Xinyue didn't care about tightening her vest. Anyway, she didn't plan to stay in this village for a lifetime.

Jiang Fu's horse face turned into a pig liver color and scolded at "Li Zhaodi": "What does our family business have to do with a little girl like you?"

Jiang Gui looked at his big brother in disbelief. How stupid must he be to say such words.

The villagers were also holding back laughter looking at Jiang Fu. The village head had just read the marriage contract, and now "Li Zhaodi" was already a member of the Jiang family.

And Jiang Jinshi was the head of the Jiang family, she was Jiang Jinshi's wife, so naturally, she had the right to speak.

Jiang Fu, who realized it later, had an even uglier face and left a sentence before fleeing.

"Sophistry, the master isn't here, I'm too lazy to reason with you, lest people say I bully others."

Jiang Gui also left with his big brother, clearly feeling that Jiang Jinshi would be easier to handle, and it wouldn't be too late to make trouble when Jiang Jinshi came back.

This big show finally ended, and the villagers were also talking about it with relish, believing that this news would spread out of the village in less than an hour.

Amidst Mother Liu's gratitude, Jiang Cai also went home.

The courtyard that was lively just now was left with only three people looking at each other.

Jiang Li looked at this sister-in-law "Li Zhaodi" with shining eyes. In the future, her sister-in-law would be the person she admired most in her heart.

And she secretly swore in her heart that she must follow her sister-in-law's example.

If her big brother dared to bully her sister-in-law, she would definitely have to support her sister-in-law and help her with housework.

Mother Liu was more and more satisfied the more she looked at "Li Zhaodi," just feeling sorry for this child. Her hands and body were full of scars, and the life she lived before was bitter!

Not knowing what the two were thinking, Li Xinyue stood in place somewhat awkwardly. Her original plan was disrupted, and now she had to re-sort her train of thought.

Jiang Jinshi was taking Luo Feng and his sister into the city at this moment. After handing over fifteen wen, even refugees could move unimpeded.

Luo Feng felt somewhat emotional. The city he couldn't enter even after kneeling at the city gate actually only needed five wen.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the dignity and life of people like them weren't worth a copper coin.

Finding a noodle stall at random to sit down, Jiang Jinshi greeted the boss.

"Three bowls of noodles!"

"Eh! Guests, please sit, the noodles will be ready soon."

The noodle stall boss was already gray-haired in middle age. Seeing guests, he was full of joy. One had to know that he hadn't opened for three days.

But when he took a closer look, except for the thin one who looked like he could afford it, the other two were completely refugees!

So the boss hesitated, and finally rubbed his hands and whispered: "Guests, grain prices have risen sharply recently, these noodles are eight wen a bowl."

How could Jiang Jinshi not know the boss's worry, so he readily took out twenty-four wen.

Taking the money, the noodle stall boss was beaming, hurriedly moving to cook the noodles.

Looking at the two who were somewhat depressed, Jiang Jinshi said leisurely: "The world is like this, respect the clothes first and then the person."

"Don't take it to heart, follow me and work hard, step by step, grow bigger and stronger, and create brilliance again."

Jiang Jinshi, who had been influenced by capital, was naturally handy at drawing cakes.

Whether you eat the cake or not is another matter, but I can't not draw it!

Clearly, Luo Feng and his sister had already believed in Jiang Jinshi deeply, first nodding heavily, and then starting to fantasize about the beautiful life after growing bigger and stronger.

The eight-wen bowl of noodles had no meat, but the portion was not small. Finally, Luo Feng ate two bowls, and Jiang Jinshi and Luo Jin each ate one bowl.

After eating, Jiang Jinshi found the old man who helped him pull the goods yesterday, and bought some grain and pots and bowls, preparing to temporarily settle the two on the mountain.

He couldn't settle the two in the city, but he didn't dare to bring them back to the village. Since they were mountain bandits, they should live on the mountain. People who join later can also live with them.

Of course, although Jiang Jinshi bought some grain, he didn't buy meat, and even seasonings only bought the most basic salt.

Luo Feng and his sister had no complaints, and were even somewhat flattered. They hadn't done any work, and eating and taking made the two very ashamed.

Jiang Jinshi was still thinking about the task of recruiting five people, so he sent Luo Feng and his sister to follow the old man's donkey cart to send the goods to the mountain first. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====

Luo Feng and his sister had no complaints at all; they were even somewhat flattered. Having done absolutely no work, they felt very ashamed to be both eating and taking things.

Jiang Jinshi was still thinking about the task of recruiting five people, so he sent Luo Feng and his sister to follow the old man's donkey cart and deliver the goods up the mountain first.
