Chapter 646 Not Saved
"What if you are transferred out of Qixi County in the future? Who can help him? It is said that if a person steals needles when he is young, he will steal gold when he grows up. He is only two years younger than Fubao, but he dares to steal silver in the street. This is unacceptable. When he grows up, what else can he not do? He must be severely beaten. Ten strokes are not enough. Add ten more strokes! Beat him so that he will remember it firmly."
Jiang Shoujia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly slammed the table.
snapped.
"The head of the family is right. It's not a problem. Grandma, thank you for coming to tell us. I know you are doing this for our own good. Gu Nian Sanhe is my daughter. I want to protect her, but there are some things that can't be done this way. Your Grandpa Jiang is right. We can't protect him forever.
Besides, I have long severed my mother-daughter relationship with Sanhe. From now on, I will not care about her affairs, and I cannot care about them. You can punish this child however you want, whether it is imprisonment or beating with a stick. Don't go easy on her for our sake. Just do what you want."
Zhang Jinlan hadn't heard her daughter's name for a long time. For a moment, she was a little dazed. Her hesitant heart became firm after hearing Jiang Shoujia's words.
Her daughter died a long time ago, and she will not care about her anymore in the future.
[Sanhe, Sanhe, isn't this the life you wanted? How did it turn out like this? You had such a good son that you were looking forward to, but you turned him into a thief. Alas.]
Zhang Jinlan spoke silently in her mind, and only she could hear it.
"Okay, Grandma, Grandpa Jiang, I understand. In that case, I will return to Chang'an Town tonight and give the order tomorrow morning. As for the twenty strokes, it is still too much. He is still young. A strong man may get sick after being hit by twenty strokes, not to mention that he is only about ten years old. Let's add five strokes. It will teach him a lesson, but it won't kill him."
Meng Bujiu thought for a while and spoke slowly.
"Okay, you are the county magistrate, we will all listen to you. Come on, you must be tired, so add some tea for our county magistrate." Zhang Jinlan said with a smile.
She was sitting in the main seat, which was a higher chair, and she saw at a glance that there was only half a cup of tea left in Meng Bujiu's cup.
"Grandma, you can't drink anymore. My brother Bujiu and I ate several pieces of cakes. If we drink tea again, we won't be able to eat dinner. Why, do you want to save some food for the family?"
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, Jiang Fubao teased Grandma to liven up the atmosphere.
As she wished.
The Jiang family no longer cared about Jiang Sanhe, and started playing again in the quiet main room.
The cook in the backyard was busy.
"Hurry, Xiaozhu, take this mutton and stew it."
"Xiaowei, peel the radish and use it for the soup later."
"Have you washed the cabbage? Bring it here quickly."
"Oh, this dish has just been cooked, how can we take it out? Hurry up and put it in the cupboard, otherwise it will get cold. Fortunately, the kitchen is so hot."
"Where's the rice? Why haven't you washed it yet? Go wash it quickly. If the master wants to serve the rice, where will he get it?"
"Just now, the Second Madam said she wanted an iced drink, so don't heat up this pot of green plum drink. Just heat up a pot of milk for the masters."
"..."
The kitchen was crowded with people.
Everyone is busy.
Puffs of green smoke came out of the chimney, but were blown away by the cold wind before they could rise into the sky.
The fragrance was blown in all directions of east, west, south and north, and could be smelled everywhere.
The mutton and venison needed to be stewed for a longer time, so the other dishes were delivered and the meal was halfway through when the two pots were brought up.
This dish was specially made for Meng Bujiu.
Zhang Jinlan took the lead in picking up two pieces of food with her chopsticks for him, and then it was the turn of others to eat.
Jiang Fubao doesn't like venison because it's too nutritious and she gets nosebleeds when she eats it.
You can eat more mutton.
When the weather is cold, you should eat mutton. It will warm your body.
The charcoal stove in the room was burning hot and Jiang Fubao's face turned red.
She couldn't drink the hot milk in the cup at all, so she simply handed it to Xue Huan beside her and asked her to help drink it. Then she used the cup to pour some green plum drink.
There is no need to add ice to the green plum drink in winter, it will cool you down after just one sip.
It’s so cool.
Jiang Fubao stuffed the mutton with chili sauce into his mouth, swallowed it and drank a sip of cold green plum drink without having time to savor the taste. His eyes narrowed with happiness.
She didn't eat much of the other dishes during this meal, let alone a single bite of rice.
I was so full that I was burping just from eating mutton.
"If I wasn't afraid of getting a sore throat, I would really like to eat mutton every day." Jiang Fubao slumped in the chair, not wanting to move at all.
"You are a girl, how can you sit so improperly? Bu Ju is still here, what's the matter?" Zhang Yanzi raised her eyebrows when she saw her daughter like this.
Jiang Fubao just turned a deaf ear to it.
"Mom, Brother Bujiu is a family member. I'm not outside. I won't get up. I'm full and can't sit up straight." After she said that, she moved her body down a little more provocatively.
Now, the neck is also crooked.
It's even more inappropriate.
"You kid..." Zhang Yanzi was angry, but couldn't bear to scold her, so she could only stare at her with big eyes.
"It's okay. Fubao is right. We are all family. There is nothing to be afraid of. Bujiu won't tell anyone, right? Bujiu?" Jiang Siyin, who was caught in the middle of his wife's anger and his daughter's rebelliousness, quickly hugged Zhang Yanzi and coaxed her.
He also winked at Meng Bujiu, signaling him to agree with him quickly.
"Yes, we are all family, I won't tell. Fubao is also tired. There are too many people in the clinic recently, and she can't sleep at noon. Auntie, look at her face, it's not as good as before, don't you feel distressed?"
As expected of an educated man, he calmed down Zhang Yanzi with just one sentence.
Even his raised eyebrows drooped.
"My dear daughter, why don't you take a rest for some time? I'll hand over the clinic to your disciples." Zhang Yanzi's tone became much gentler, no longer looking like the tigress she was just now.
"Mom, they came all the way here just to see me. I can't do this. It's okay. Brother Bujiu said he would take me hiking in a few days. It won't be too late to rest then." Jiang Fubao did not agree.
There are several patients who need a second check-up, and her apprentices have no idea about their specific conditions.
As a human being, you have to be responsible.
Not to mention medical practitioners.
"Okay, just keep this in mind. Go to bed early tonight so you don't feel sleepy tomorrow. It's easy to feel sleepy in winter. Even if you can't sleep at noon, you should rest for a while. You ate too much tonight. Starting tomorrow, Xue Huan, remember to give your young lady a hot cup of milk so she can drink it and sleep well."
Zhang Yanzi turned her head and spoke to Xue Huan who was still eating on a small stool.
"Hmm, Hmm!!" Xue Huan's mouth was full of food, she couldn't speak at all. She nodded her head quickly like a garlic pestle.
"Eat slowly and don't choke." Jiang Fubao leaned his head over the back of the chair.
But his body was still paralyzed.
“Mmmmm—” Xue Huan continued to nod, indicating that she understood.
