Chapter 410: The Ghost Within
Jiang Ruanyan put down the kettle, hurriedly ran out, found Jiang Chen, and found out that there was indeed such a thing.
Jiang Ruanyan didn't say a word, and went straight to Jiang Shutong's room.
At this time, Jiang Shutong was about to go to the garden to bask in the sun, when he saw Jiang Ruanyan rushing in in a hurry, and the two almost collided together.
"What's wrong with you? What's the hurry? Jiang Shutong looked at her and couldn't help laughing.
The usual Jiang Ruanyan looks like he has no frame at all, he is happy all day long, and sometimes he doesn't have a head or a brain, why is he so anxious today.
"Jishitang is out of the ghost." Jiang Ruanyan told her seriously that Jiang Shutong himself was also frightened.
The two sat in the room, and Chunlan poured fresh flower tea for the two.
"I don't understand, how could such a thing happen at this time, Jishitang has always been our own person, and someone actually helped outsiders stab me at such a time."
That Jiang Ruanyan only felt incredible.
Jiang Shutong listened on the side and comforted, "Don't think about it so much, could it be something wrong somewhere else?" Could it be that the workers were communicating with each other at the construction site, so there was news from Zhang Mingshan's side? ”
Jiang Ruanyan shook his head, "No, I have already asked Jiang Chen, he knows the situation best at the construction site every day, Zhang Mingshan regards his own people very strictly, and he is afraid that we will steal his secret recipe." ”
Jiang Ruanyan still looked disgusted as he spoke, that Zhang Mingshan was too self-righteous, as if he really felt that he could have some tricks.
Before Jiang Ruanyan could speak, he first proposed that the workers should be allowed to work separately, eat separately, and eat, and almost have separate accommodations.
Not only that, Zhang Mingshan also warned him several times, asking the victims under his command not to go out and talk nonsense, otherwise they would look good.
Now because in the gambling contract, Jiang Ruanyan is inconvenient to say more, and after the gambling contract, if Zhang Mingshan dares to speak like this, Jiang Ruanyan will have to tear down his house.
Dare to threaten the victims like this, where did he get the courage.
Seeing Jiang Ruanyan so angry, Jiang Shutong knew that she was not joking, but this matter was too sudden, everyone has been calm these days, and half of the time has passed, and suddenly something like this happened.
"And what do you say I'm trying to do? I don't like his little donation at all, but I think I'd rather leave it to him to eat, drink and have fun, and I might as well use it to get his money and spend it on the victims. ”
Whenever Jiang Ruanyan said this, he was angry with the ministers of the court.
On weekdays, they show off their wealth, one is more powerful than the other, and when it comes to donating, one by one they cry poor there, and the big man is embarrassed to play this kind of trick.
As a little woman, Jiang Ruanyan despised them from the bottom of her heart.
"I'm just worried now, if he really beats us, what will happen to the victims? If it is sent to someone else, most of their food expenses will be embezzled. ”
Jiang Ruanyan sat at the table sadly, holding his forehead regardless of his image, looking very distressed.
Jiang Shutong gently covered her hand.
"Don't be too anxious, even if he remedies it now, it will take some time, and the effect may not be as good as ours at that time, and besides, a tie can't be regarded as his win, and then we will fight with reason."
Jiang Shutong comforted himself, and began to run out of words.
As Jiang Ruanyan said, the donation is a small matter, but if the management rights of the victims are really released, then the matter will be big.
Not to mention that Jiang Ruanyan said that most of the credit will be taken away, where will the victims go in the future?
What I am most worried about is that they will have food and housing problems in the future, and they signed a contract with me here, saying that they built the house themselves and can live in it forever. ”
Jiang Ruanyan said, his eyes began to redden, "But what if you go to other adults and they don't recognize this contract?" Do you want to let them wander the streets? That next winter. Shall they not starve and freeze again? ”
She didn't hold back in the end, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
"It was their own hard work in the cold winter and moon weather, brick by brick, and when the time came, they were driven out, and they didn't even have a place to reason."
As soon as Jiang Ruanyan finished crying, he heard a crisp sound, and when he turned his head, he saw Chunlan in the inner room, panickedly cleaning up a cup that had fallen on the ground, which should have been broken just now.
"I'm sorry Miss, I'm sorry, I was clumsy just now and accidentally broke a cup." Chunlan knelt on the ground, looking terrified.
"Chunlan, are you alright? How come you back yesterday and you've been absent-minded? ”
Jiang Shutong didn't have a tone of blame, but she felt that Chunlan's behavior since yesterday was very abnormal.
Jiang Ruanyan gently put his hand on Jiang Shutong's arm, "Don't talk about her." ”
After that, he stepped forward and helped Chunlan up.
"I heard from the servant in the firewood room that your mother had a bad cough when it was cold not long ago, and she had not been getting better in the last few days, and her body was getting weaker and weaker, so you are worried about this, right?"
After Chunlan was helped up, his eyes widened when he heard Jiang Ruanyan say this, he was very surprised, how could Jiang Ruanyan even care about such a trivial matter.
"We are all the flesh and blood of my father's mother, this father and mother are old and sick, and my heart will naturally not be able to let go, I am here for your master to make the decision for you, today you will take the time to go back and accompany your mother well."
"Thank you, miss." Chunlai was busy saluting, and the tears on his face were even bigger.
"Oh, by the way, when you go back, you call Jiang Qing, just say that I said it, let him go back with you to see your mother, this medical expenses, Jishitang helped you out."
As soon as these words came out, Chunlan raised her head, looked at Jiang Ruanyan, and tears flowed down.
Jiang Shutong couldn't help but say on the side, "This stupid girl, what are you crying about?" Thank you Miss Jiang for your kindness, and go back,"
But as soon as she finished speaking, Chunlan cried even more fiercely.
And in the next second, Chunlan knelt directly on the ground, and said to Jiang Ruanyan with a crying voice, "Miss Jiang, I was wrong, there is no inner ghost in Jishitang, and that inner ghost is me." ”
Jiang Shutong's whole person was shocked, she stood next to her, as if she was petrified, "How could it be you, Chunlan, you have always been by my side, how could you do such a thing?" ”
Jiang Shutong couldn't believe it, Chunlan had grown up with her almost since she was a child, the two of them had nothing to say and nothing to talk about, they had never made a mistake since they were children, they were like sisters, how could they help the enemy at this time?
"Miss, I really didn't mean to, my mother's illness didn't heal a few days ago, I went home that day, my mother has been lying in bed, usually she will talk to me when I come back, but not that day."
Chunlan recalled.
"I was about to step forward to see how she was doing, when suddenly a man in black came out of the corner, he said that he had poisoned my mother, and forced me to tell Jishitang's skin care secrets, I was scared, so I said it all."
When Jiang Shutong heard this, her heart fluttered, she knew that Chunlan was not that kind of person, but when she heard that her family was threatened like this, she also blamed herself in her heart.
"I told him everything, but I didn't expect him to let my mother go, he said that in order to prevent me from telling the truth, he asked Miss Jiang for help, and he would not send me the antidote until the gambling contract was over."
"And how is your mother now?" Jiang Shutong was extremely anxious, this poison was not a joke in his body.
"I will go to see her in the next few days, she has been confused, she will call me by my nickname when she sees me, but it is more difficult to eat and drink, I have no energy all day, I can only lie in bed, I don't know how long my mother can last."
When Chunlan thought of this, her heart felt as if it had been torn apart.
"Then why are you telling me this now?" Jiang Ruanyan asked:
"I know that Miss Jiang, you have always been a good person and want to help those disaster victims, but when that person broke out, I just wanted to save my mother." Chunlan held back tears.
"But I didn't expect that you even knew about my mother's illness, and said that you wanted Jiang Qing to help her see a doctor, then I think that if you hide it from you again, even if my mother is well, she will blame me."
After saying that Chunlai was coming, he cried again, because now he doesn't know if his mother can survive this hurdle.
Jiang Ruanyan stepped forward to help her up, "Okay, don't be sad, I already knew about this matter." ”
Jiang Shutong and Chunlan looked at Jiang Ruanyan at the same time.
She explained, "I knew about the fact that you went to buy goat's milk a few days ago, and I knew that someone was following you and broke into your home?" ”
"That young lady ......" Chunlan said halfway through her words and didn't say anything more. She wanted to ask if Jiang Ruanyan knew about him early in the morning, and she betrayed them.
Jiang Ruanyan smiled and nodded to her, "But this is not the most important thing, after all, you were also forced to be helpless at that time, your own mother's life is in the hands of the enemy, how can you control others, of course, only your own mother is the most important, I can understand your approach." ”
Jiang Ruanyan didn't blame Chunlan, Jiang Shutong slowly understood, what was Jiang Ruanyan going to do?
"But your master really doesn't know anything." Jiang Ruanyan smiled and made a joke, wanting to ease the sad atmosphere.
"I'm here to perform this play, not for anything else, I just want to see, you're still not from our side, since that's the case, I'm relieved."
Jiang Ruanyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
It's one thing to be forced to be helpless, but if Jiang Ruanyan said that she took the initiative to help her mother, if Chunlan was still not moved, Jiang Ruanyan might have to worry about her.
"In addition, I can tell you a good news, during the time we are talking, Jiang Qing has already gone to your house to help your mother treat her illness, the problem should not be serious, if you are not at ease, you can go home to see her now."
"Really, Miss? What you say is true? When Chunlan heard this, she didn't care about identity etiquette, and happily grabbed Jiang Ruanyan's hand.
"It's true, and your master and I are here, you don't have to worry about no one coming to serve her, so you can go home with peace of mind."
Although Jiang Ruanyan said this, Chunlan still looked at Jiang Shutong with some unease.
"Go ahead, go see your mother, and say hello to her for me." Jiang Shutong nodded as he spoke.
"Then thank you, two young ladies." After Chunlan finished speaking, she immediately ran out of the door.
