Now at home, Chiang Songhai and the others were all there, resting today without going up to Bai Gu Mountain.
They were picking chestnuts in the courtyard, preparing to sell them roasted tomorrow, while Ge Xiaotong was holding a sewing basket and chatting with them by the side.
Meanwhile, Chiang Xiao was in the room, studying the book she had borrowed from the library.
Fearing others might see the booklet from the Bamboo Hut, she would copy about a dozen characters from it every day so she could study them in her room when it was inconvenient to enter the Space.
Ge Liutao returned with Yang Dazhi, and Chiang Songhai was very surprised.
However, like Ge Liutao, he had a very good impression of Yang Dazhi and genuinely liked this honest nephew-in-law, so he quickly invited him to sit in the main room.
"Dazhi, how come you have time to come over?"
After entering, Yang Dazhi looked around the house and was also quite surprised. No wonder his mother-in-law said the Second Uncle’s family had become prosperous—it did seem to be the case indeed.
"Second Uncle, you might not know yet, but something happened at home." Yang Dazhi quickly began to tell them about the situation at the Old Chiang Family.
It turned out that the day Chiang Songtao had come home, he collapsed, and after waking up, he had kept feeling headaches and chest tightness. As for Ho Laidi, she was hit heavily on the head by Chiang Baohe wielding a wooden cane and passed out. Under Doctor Huang’s advice at the village clinic, they rushed her to the town hospital, and now, they were saying it was a concussion.
Chiang Songhai had just heard about this and was so shocked he couldn’t speak for a long time.
"Baohe, to think he gave his own mother a concussion?"
How could this happen?
Chiang Xiao had already heard from inside the room and couldn’t help but sneer, not without a desire to see Chiang Baohe cause trouble for both Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi.
She had originally thought that by leaving Chiang Baohe crippled at home with an increasingly volatile temper, he would eventually cause chaos in the Old Chiang Family, but she didn’t expect that day to come so soon!
How long had it been since his injury?
Had Chiang Baohe actually hit his own mother now?
She felt not a shred of sympathy for Ho Laidi!
When Chiang Baohe beat her, beat her grandfather, hadn’t the people of the Old Chiang Family always thought it was no big deal? Now that Ho Laidi was the one beaten, she was quite curious about what Chiang Songtao and Ho Laidi were feeling at this moment!
Ah, what to do, she really wanted to go watch the commotion!
Hmm, was she becoming worse and worse?
Chiang Xiao, propping up her cheek, thought happily, but then she heard her grandfather calling her from outside. "Little, your uncle-in-law is here, come out and greet him."
Chiang Xiao’s impression of Chiang Qingshui was already somewhat vague, but even from that fuzzy memory, she did not have the slightest fondness for him.
However, regarding her uncle-in-law Yang Dazhi, she had no negative impressions, just that he seemed very honest, probably on par with her grandfather.
She didn’t really want to go out. Although she had no dislike for Yang Dazhi, he was still one of the Old Chiang Family’s people after all. She would prefer not to deal with the Old Chiang Family if she could avoid it.
However, based on what she knew of her grandfather, the fact that he didn’t call her out when Yang Dazhi first arrived but did so now, certainly meant he was unsure about something and wanted her to listen in and make a decision.
In the past, Chiang Songhai was used to listening to his elder brother’s advice, but now that his relationship with his brother’s family had practically broken down, he had gotten used to asking Chiang Xiao for her opinion.
Chiang Xiao put down the book and walked out.
Yang Dazhi truly couldn’t believe this was Chiang Xiao.
