Chapter 156 Sowing discord
"What? You said Yaoyao could earn a hundred taels in one night? She never told me this. She, she only said that you opened a shop on North Street and asked me to come to you to ask for money..."
Old man Jiang widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuwei in disbelief.
Jiang Yuwei snorted coldly:
"Now do you know? Your daughter, who was raised with so much love and care, dared not tell you a word when she made money, and you are so shameless to ask me for money. Not only am I not as rich as her, but even if I were rich, I would not give you a penny. How have you treated me and Jiang Yaoyao differently since we were young? You know it clearly in your heart! Ask yourself with your conscience, how dare you ask me for money?"
Old Man Jiang was frightened by Jiang Yuwei's fierce momentum and stepped back repeatedly, waving his hands and hesitating:
"But, but I can't find Yaoyao recently. She always avoids me. If I knew she had so much money, I would definitely ask her to take it all out. Otherwise, wouldn't it just be a bargain for the madam if it stayed in that brothel?"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Old Man Jiang and nodded:
"You are right. You must hold all of Jiang Yaoyao's money in your hands. Don't let others get it for free. Jiang Yaoyao has climbed up the social ladder now."
Jiang Yuwei said as she pointed her lips to signal Old Man Jiang to look at the Ge's Paper Shop across the street:
"If she serves Mr. Ge well, the shop across the street will belong to Jiang Yaoyao in the future! Not to mention Mr. Ge's huge fortune. He is a well-known wealthy businessman in Ping'an Town. Now that Jiang Yaoyao is with him, she will not have to worry about food and clothing. Look at the rags you are wearing!"
Jiang Yuwei said as she stepped forward and tugged at Old Man Jiang's sleeve. Unexpectedly, she ripped off his sleeve with just a little force. Before Old Man Jiang could make a move, Jiang Yuwei hurriedly said:
"Look, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you, a father, are not even as well dressed as Jiang Yaoyao's servants. If you go out like this, people will laugh at you and who will they be laughing at? If Jiang Yaoyao dares to avoid you, you might as well go directly to the shop across the street to ask for money. As long as you say you are Miss Jiang's biological father, the people in the shop will have to give you some face."
Jiang Yuwei raised her eyes and looked at the excited old man Jiang and continued:
"At worst, you can just go to the entrance of Ge's residence and wait for Jiang Yaoyao. I've heard that she is often called by Master Ge to accompany him there. You will definitely be able to wait for her there!"
After hearing what Jiang Yuwei said, Old Man Jiang could no longer stay there and ran towards Ge's Paper Shop opposite.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei stood at the door of her shop with her arms folded, smiling, ready to watch the show. However, the old man Jiang was thrown out by the people inside just after he entered for a while.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei hurried forward to help old man Jiang up and said angrily:
"You are so embarrassed. It's all Jiang Yaoyao's fault for hiding you and her mother from Mr. Ge. Now, even the Ge family's servants don't recognize you as Mr. Ge's future father-in-law! This is simply outrageous!"
Jiang Yuwei stole a glance at Old Man Jiang, who was spitting at Ge's Paper Shop with anger on his face, and continued:
"If I were you, I would have to go find Jiang Yaoyao and have it clear. Can she just sit back and watch as the Ge family's men bully her father? Can she feel at ease enjoying the fine clothes and delicious food in the Ge Mansion while letting her biological parents stay in Jiangzhuang and continue to live a miserable life worse than a dog's?"
After hearing this, Old Man Jiang became even more furious. He turned around angrily, swung the half sleeve that Jiang Yuwei had pulled off, and strode towards the Ge Mansion, cursing non-stop:
"I have to find Jiang Yaoyao today to ask her clearly whether she still recognizes me as her father!"
Jiang Yuwei looked at Old Man Jiang's angry back and couldn't help but covering her mouth and laughing. You, Jiang Yaoyao, are so shameless that you had to tell Old Man Jiang that you opened a shop on North Street. Now, Jiang Yaoyao is probably asking for trouble!
Seeing that Old Man Jiang had gone far away, Jiang Yuwei returned to her shop to continue cleaning up. Shazi and Tiezhu worked efficiently and soon put up the awning and flower stand in the backyard, and built the stove before dark.
Finally, after finishing the work, Jiang Yuwei saw that the fool looked unhappy, and suddenly remembered that she had tricked him out this morning by saying that she would take him to buy delicious food. So she let the fool drive the ox cart to the vegetable market, and asked Tiezhu to stay to watch the cart. Jiang Yuwei took the fool to the vegetable market to do some shopping.
He also let the fool pick out his favorite candied fruits and snacks, and only then did a smile appear on the fool's face.
On the way back, it was still the Fool who drove the cart, and soon the three of them returned to the courtyard. The Fool happily followed Tiezhu to move the things on the cart, while Jiang Yuwei was busy going into the yard to see if Ning Huaizhi's rubbing plates had been carved.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the yard, she saw two uninvited guests, and Jiang Yuwei's face immediately turned cold.
When Ning Huaizhi saw Jiang Yuwei coming back, he smiled helplessly and called her over.
Chen Guixiang and Ning Yunyun, who were standing in the yard, saw Jiang Yuwei coming back and looked at her warily.
Jiang Yuwei looked at the two of them and said unhappily, "I don't know what they are talking about with Ning Huaizhi."
"What are you doing here?"
Chen Guixiang was immediately furious when she heard Jiang Yuwei talking to her like this:
"I'm your mother-in-law, Huaizhi's biological mother. Can't I come to your courtyard?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded and said calmly:
"Don't come if you don't have anything to do, and don't come if you have something to do."
Chen Guixiang was so choked by Jiang Yuwei's words that she didn't know how to scold her. She could only point at Jiang Yuwei with her eyes wide open and kept saying:
"You, you you you you...you make me so mad!"
Ning Yunyun, who was standing by, quietly poked her mother and whispered in her ear:
"Mom, don't be angry, we are here to talk about serious matters today."
After being reminded by her little girl, Chen Guixiang calmed down immediately, glared at Jiang Yuwei, then turned to look at Ning Huaizhi and asked:
"Huaizhi, Yunyun is your biological sister. You can't use others instead of your own sister. If this gets out, won't people in the surrounding area laugh at you?"
Ning Yunyun saw this and sobbed:
"Yes, brother, please help me, your sister. I have never asked you for anything since I was a child. Now I really have no other choice. I don't know what's wrong with Xu Ming now. He just drinks all day and even beats me when he's drunk. He says I'm not doing my best and that my eldest brother from my mother's family has such a lucrative business but doesn't care about taking care of our family."
Ning Yunyun said as she picked up her handkerchief to wipe her tears:
"Now I have two children to raise at home. I really have no other choice. Brother, please help me! Otherwise, Xu Ming will really beat me to death!"
