Chapter 250 Fortunately, I acted quickly
Finally, I kept my eyes open until dawn, and then fell asleep again.
I didn’t have any strange dreams during this sleep, and when I woke up I felt much more energetic.
During lunch, at the dining table, Jiang Xiaohe took out all the gifts she had brought for everyone.
Wang Qiuxia liked the jade hairpin very much, but she couldn't help complaining that she was wasting money on her.
"You said that you have this money, why don't you buy something nice for yourself? Why do you have to buy it for an old woman like me?"
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and put the hairpin on her head: "Mom, this is a gift from me."
Wang Qiuxia adjusted her hair and turned to ask Zhang Fu: "Does it look good?"
Zhang Fu smiled and nodded: "It looks good."
Wang Qiuxia's face turned red for a moment.
Jiang Xiaohe took out another pot of wine: "Dad, this is specially bought for you. It is the most famous wine in the county."
Zhang Fu usually doesn't have any other hobbies. He just likes to drink a little wine to relax when he is tired. When he heard Jiang Xiaohe say that this was bought for him from the county, his eyes lit up. He quickly went to the kitchen to get a bowl, poured it and took a sip: "This county wine is really good!"
Wang Qiuxia clapped his hands and said, "It's good wine, but don't drink too much."
"Don't worry, this is what my daughter-in-law brought back from the county town for me. I will definitely drink it quickly."
Jiang Xiaohe was a little speechless: "Mom, if Dad likes it, then let him drink it. Dad, we will do business in the county in the future. You can drink whatever you want!"
Zhang Fu smiled and nodded.
Then, she took out two pairs of earrings and gave one pair to Xu Xiaohua and one to Wang Xiaoya.
"Thank you, cousin."
"Thank you, aunt."
"Mom, where's mine, where's mine!" Zhang Chuan stood on the stool, staring at Jiang Xiaohe hopefully with his eyes wide open.
Jiang Xiaohe spread her hands and her face changed: "It's over, I forgot to buy a gift for Chuan'er."
When Zhang Chuan heard this, he was about to cry: "Mom, this is not right."
Jiang Xiaohe immediately smiled and took out a windmill: "How could I forget your gift? Take it."
As soon as Zhang Chuan saw the beautiful windmill, he immediately smiled.
"Blow into the windmill with your mouth."
Zhang Chuan obeyed and did as he was told. The windmill started to turn, and he shouted excitedly, "Mom, it's turning, it's turning."
...
After lunch, Jiang Xiaohe took two bags of snacks and went to Zeng Hua’s house next door.
Zeng Hua opened the door, and Jiang Xiaohe quickly handed over some snacks: "These are snacks from the county, bought specially for my second uncle and second aunt."
Zeng Hua took it with a smile and asked her to come in and sit down.
"Second Aunt, where is my second uncle?"
"On the construction site."
"Second uncle has received a lot of work recently?"
Zeng Hua shook his head: "Not much, just enough to handle it."
Jiang Xiaohe said directly: "I have my eyes on a shop in the county town and I want to renovate it, so I want to ask if my second uncle is free."
Zeng Hua poured her a bowl of water and said, "You can ask your second uncle to do something for you. Even if he is not free, he will have to make time for you."
Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "I'm afraid it will interfere with my uncle's other work."
"No matter how big the matter outside is, it is not as important as the matter at home!"
She had said this, so Jiang Xiaohe naturally couldn't say anything else: "Then Second Aunt, please tell Second Uncle that if possible, you can bring people with me to the county town in the next two days."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to take a message to him later. I won't delay your work."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded, and then asked: "Where's the big girl? Why isn't she at home?"
When talking about Zhang Da Niu, Zeng Hua said with a smile: "Isn't there a market in Longshui Town today? She went there."
It is obvious that there is something else behind his words. Could it be that he went to see Hongwa?
Jiang Xiaohe didn't sit for long. After saying something else, she stood up, said goodbye and went back.
The next morning, Zhang Quan came back, and with him came Zhang Daniu and Tian Tianer.
Zhang Daniu looked at Zeng Hua who seemed to have something to say but couldn't, and Zeng Hua quickly asked him what was wrong. Zhang Daniu whispered a few words in Zeng Hua's ear.
Zeng Hua slapped his thigh and pulled Tian Tian'er to sit down quickly.
"Really pregnant?"
Tian Tianer nodded shyly.
Zeng Hua was very happy: "This is a great thing. I have to tell my elder brother and sister-in-law, and call Xiao He over so that you can discuss things."
The bride is pregnant, and outsiders cannot know about it until three months have passed. However, in Zeng Hua's heart, Wang Qiuxia and the others are not outsiders but family members. Therefore, when there is good news, he naturally wants his family to know about it.
After listening to her, Wang Qiuxia slapped her thigh and said, "This is really good news!" Then she hurried to the backyard, put a basket with the eggs laid by the hens and the leftovers at home, and brought it over.
Jiang Xiaohe and Wang Qiuxia came into the yard together and naturally congratulated Tian Tianer first. Tian Tianer felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Qiuxia reminded her of many things to pay attention to, and Tian Tianer nodded seriously.
Zhang Daniu didn't dare to look at Jiang Xiaohe at all. For some reason, he felt sorry for Jiang Xiaohe.
If Jiang Xiaohe knew that he had such thoughts, she would probably knock his head open to see what was in his mind.
After congratulating Tian Tianer, Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Quan talked about something, and finally they agreed to set off for the county town early the next morning.
Zhang Quan turned around and quickly contacted his brothers who knew carpentry.
Nowadays, he takes on more work, and helps those villagers with some skills to make a lot of money outside. Everyone wants to work with him, and when they hear that he needs carpenters, many people come and want to work.
Finally, Zhang Quan selected a few people in the village and a few people from the construction site, and they would follow Jiang Xiaohe to the county town tomorrow.
Zhang Qingshan drove the carriage with Jiang Xiaohe in the front, and they were going to Longshui Town to pick up Chen Dafu first.
Zhang Quan and Zhang Daniu drove a ox cart and took everyone directly from the village to the county town.
When they arrived at Longshui Town, Jiang Xiaohe asked Wang Hong: "I was in such a hurry before that I didn't have time to ask you, are you used to the days we were away?"
Wang Hong smiled and nodded: "There were some problems at the beginning, but it was fine later."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "It's always like this at the beginning, and it will only get better and better. This time, I will take Manager Chen directly to the county town. He will take care of that side, and this side is really handed over to you. Do a good job."
Wang Hong nodded seriously: "Don't worry, cousin."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded and took Manager Chen to the county.
On the way, Jiang Xiaohe was still a little nervous, wondering if anyone knew about the murder of Old Wu and his men.
They arrived at the county town with trepidation. Without Mr. Wu's supervision, they easily found a place to stay this time.
In the evening, Meng Hetang came over. Seeing that there were too many people in the inn to talk to, he took Jiang Xiaohe to his own restaurant and went up to the private room on the second floor. Then he said, "You are too bold. You even dared to kill Elder Wu."
Jiang Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her secret had been exposed. Just as she was about to speak...
Meng Hetang said quickly: "Fortunately, I acted quickly, otherwise, with the way you cleaned up the bodies, you would all be in jail now."
It turned out that as soon as Chang Wei returned to the county that day, he asked Meng Hetang to deal with the aftermath.
Meng Hetang then took his servants to the dilapidated temple, first burned Old Wu's sedan chair in the temple, then cleaned up all the bloodstains, and then took people to move the stones on the well, dug up soil and filled the well directly, thus ensuring that nothing could go wrong.
