001: Forged through
"I heard no, the second girl of the Jiang family hanged herself at home last night!"
"The second girl of the Jiang family? Are you talking about the daughter of the shopkeeper of the 'Yijiangchun' restaurant who closed the door a few days ago? β
"This is it!"
"Hey, the shopkeeper Jiang has just been away for a few days, and he couldn't find a decent family affair for his daughter before his death, the little girl is lonely, and the Jiang family owes so many debts, I think it was because of this that I had the idea of suicide......"
"It seems that this Jiang Er girl was rejected in public yesterday and expressed her expression to the Fang family's eldest man, and she hanged herself as soon as she got home!"
"Huh?"
β¦β¦
Jiang Ying crouched at the head of the bed and looked at the snow outside the window, and her mind was full of only words: too cheating daddy.
In just one day, she thought she had returned to the West, but she suddenly came to a country of wind that had no record in history, and became the second girl of the Jiang family who had just lost her father.
"Sister Sakura, why are you opening the window again! Where can your body withstand the cold wind outside, lie down quickly! β
A woman in her thirties opened the curtain outside and walked in, holding a bowl of medicinal soup in her hand, looking very displeased.
Jiang Ying learned through the memories left by the original owner that this woman Zhuang was her nurse, who had been taken care of since she was a child, and her temperament was hot and informal, and she was a little too bold.
And this kind of boldness is specifically manifested in the fact that the Jiang family was robbed on the night before January, but was knocked unconscious by the Zhuang family with a stick, and dragged the person straight to the official mansion, not to mention, on the way, he also stripped off the thief's clothes, and got better on the street.
It is said that the thief was still young and had not yet married a wife, but the blow was so heavy that after arriving at the official palace, he was silent from interrogation to detention to imprisonment.
Jiang Ying felt that she had been a female man for more than 20 years in vain, and compared with her in front of the Zhuang family, she was like a scumbag.
Under Zhuang's nagging, Jiang Ying was very cooperative and drank a bowl of extremely bitter decoction.
"Sister Sakura, don't blame me for being annoyed, but you really annoy me, I still have to say some things - the master told me to take care of you before leaving, why do you say that you are so stupid, you did stupid things for the sake of that disciple! If something really happens to you, how can I explain it to my master? Sister Sakura, you are still young, and your mind and dexterity are no worse than others, although our family is in a bad situation now, but here and outside the debt, the debt can still be paid off...... And people say that marrying a wife should be a virtuous man, are you afraid that you won't find a good husband in the future? Why bother to hang yourself on this tree, and it's a crooked-necked tree! If you want me to say that this Fang family is really not a good place, what can't he do if he eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles? He also loves to bully the old and weak, who of us in Kyoto doesn't know his notoriety! Sister Sakura...... Are you listening to me!? β
Zhuang shook the sleepy Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying silently added in her heart: Well, I forgot to say that the nurse is not only too bold, but also suffers from an old disease called chatterbox, which has no cure.
β¦β¦
It was past noon.
"Bang bang bang!"
The door of the Jiang Mansion was slammed with rapid force, and the sound of the knocker swaying was quite harsh in the originally quiet snowy day.
"Come on, come on, if you knock on the door like this, you will knock on it!" Zhuang walked quickly with his sleeves on his sleeves to open the door.
A heavy "squeak" sounded, and the door was pushed open.
"Why are you only opening the door now?" The man outside the door rebuked dissatisfiedly.
As soon as the door opened, the wind and snow blew on Zhuang's head and face, and after his eyes narrowed, he saw clearly which four or five men were in this line.
Zhuang's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately asked vigilantly, "What are you doing here?" β
"Hmph, what are you doing when we come here on a cold day? Your Jiang family owes us so many debts, do you think that Jiang Shiyun won't have to pay it back as soon as he dies? A short, stocky middle-aged man wearing a gray mouse-trimmed felt hat said.
"When did you say you wouldn't pay it back?" Zhuang frowned and said, "My lord just went, and there are many things at home, so you can come back in a few days!" I don't need you half a pennyβ"
Then raise your hand and close the door to keep the crowd out.
"Huh! What do you want to do,! I still want to drive people away! The two tall, thin-looking men in front of them hurriedly reached out to break the crack in the door, and the three people behind hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Rao is Zhuang's strength is as great as an ox, but he can't stalemate the strength of five big men, and he lost in less than two rounds.
"Stinky!" The tall and thin man snorted on the ground, walked in with his feet raised, and said, "Don't pretend to be wide, how many days will you wait?" Wait a few days and you won't have the money to pay it back, but when my eldest brother borrowed money from others, he said that if he didn't have the money to pay back by then, he would take the things in this house to pay! β
What the?
The Zhuang family was shocked when they heard this, they came here today with this idea! Moreover, it turned out that the two brothers of the master brought people over to collect debts!
"You can't go in!" Zhuang hurriedly went to pull it, but it was a step too late.
There is no man in the family who can stop things, let them go in and maybe do something excessive, Sister Sakura is still recuperating, and she has always been timid and afraid of people, how can she be frightened by this!
"You all stop for the old lady!" Zhuang Shi roared in shock, stepped forward and grabbed the last fat man wearing a felt hat.
"Fuck it!" The snow was slippery, and the man was dragged by her and almost slipped.
The first few people came back to help when they saw the situation, but the Zhuang family didn't let go of life or death, and they were iron-hearted.
"You stinky, you're asking for your own hardship!"
As he spoke, one of the two tall and thin men in front of him raised his foot and kicked Zhuang severely.
"Oops!" This kick hit Zhuang's lower abdomen, and after she screamed in pain, she immediately subconsciously let go, and fell heavily on her back in the snow behind her.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift, you really think you're really good at saying a few words to you!"
"Let's go!"
The man showed no mercy in this kick, Zhuang Shi covered his stomach in pain and broke out in a cold sweat in the snow, and while he was trying to get up, he was still muttering: "My sister Sakura ......"
At this moment, a group of people had already come to the inner courtyard in a menacing manner.
"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and my eldest brother has a lot of good things in the house! When the old man left, he left this courtyard to him, and blamed him for not having that blessing! The man who spoke was the one among the tall and thin men wearing a dark blue brocade embroidered with a tuanfu long jacket, and the other was wearing ginger, thinking that he should be a brother.
As they spoke, the group had already bypassed the shadow wall through the weeping flower door and came to the front hall.
