Chapter 15 Taking advantage of the situation

"Brother Jin."

Jiang Jin raised his head following the voice, "Auntie."

"Taste it."

Mrs. Jiang Lin held a plate of snacks and put it on the table with stars in her eyes.

Jiang Jin lowered his head and looked at the white and tender pastry. It looked like nothing, but it still smelled of rich dates.

"Are you researching a new model?"

Jiang Jin picked up one with a smile. Ever since she started studying, Aniang has been studying food in different ways.

Since it was winter and there were few fruits, my mother-in-law made eight or nine kinds of red dates.

She took a bite and raised her eyebrows unconsciously. It was slightly bitter mixed with just the right amount of sweetness.

“Jujube Thousand Layer Rolls.”

Mrs. Jiang Lin said appreciating the credit, reaching out with a handkerchief to wipe away the residue left on her lips with loving eyes.

"It's not just a child's praise. If you sell this craftsmanship, it will be sold out."

"You actually made fun of my mother-in-law."

"Auntie, the conscience of heaven and earth." Jiang Jin swore, clutching her chest, barely able to show her sincerity with tears in her eyes.

Although Jiang Lin said this, his heart became alive.

"Okay, go study hard."

When Jiang Lin wanted to leave, Jiang Jin also stood up to see her off.

Unexpectedly, the small courtyard that had been peaceful all of a sudden became noisy.

Jiang Jin protected Mrs. Jiang Lin from behind, opened the curtain of the room with one hand, and saw a group of nannies coming in.

However, the Yingying and Yanyan around him stayed where they were, looking at Jiang Jin eagerly.

Jiang Jin didn't know whether to take back or put down the hand holding the door curtain.

This person has never been seen before.

At this time, Qingshan also walked over, his tall figure blocking half of the inquiring eyes.

"This person's surname is Gu, and she is a nun sent by Jiang Wei's natal family."

Jiang Jin nodded understandingly.

It seems like this is looking for trouble.

"Master Jin."

The man bowed slightly, with a kind smile on his face, and introduced his identity to himself, not caring what Jiang Jin thought.

Qingshan wanted to drive him away, but Jiang Jin stopped him.

I heard Grandma Gu say, "The thief was caught today. Since you are the one who has suffered the biggest loss, I asked my servant to ask what you mean."

"Oh." Jiang Jin turned around to reassure Jiang Lin, then walked out the door, lowered the curtain, and stood upright in front of the door, "But everyone gets the stolen goods?"

"Exactly."

Aunt Gu's face was expressionless, but she was even calmer than Tao Hong.

"Items stolen from the house were found in his house. The silver coins had already been spent, so the servant went to this man's home and found the medicinal materials he bought with the stolen silver coins."

"But there is a sick person at home?"

"There is still an old mother who is lying in bed."

"In that case, what does aunt mean?"

Jiang Jin also responded with a smile. She couldn't figure out why he asked her opinion. Was he trying to set a trap for her?

Originally, she thought that her aunt would take advantage of her uncle's absence to beat him half to death and then throw him out.

Now that she is making such a fuss, it is quite difficult for her to handle.

"What Madam means is that this theft should have been reported to the official, but the master is an official, so it is no different from a family matter. The solution is to have the stolen property returned and resold."

"That's it, let's do it." Jiang Jin shrugged and was about to leave, but was stopped by Grandma Gu's sharp voice.

"The problem is, if I sell this person, I'm afraid the money I get won't be enough to pay you back."

She is smiling but not smiling, and her whole person is hypocritical to the extreme.

"What does that mean, mama?"

"Because you are the biggest sufferer, and there is only one servant in the house, and life is really hard. It is better to keep this person as a rough servant."

As she spoke, she took out the birth certificate from her sleeves and presented it with both hands.

Jiang Jin raised his eyebrows but did not answer the question.

Why does Auntie still like to "force" people so much?

Grandma Gu never raised her head, as if Jiang Jin would not leave until Jiang Jin picked her up.

"It's up to you to decide whether this person will live or die."

"Yeah?"

She crossed her arms and glanced at the group of servants outside who stretched their necks to watch the excitement.

Not surprisingly, these people are all suffering.

This Aunt Gu is really both responsible and established. She claims that the power of disposal is left to her, but in fact, she has caused a lot of trouble for her outside.

If you take someone in, you will cause public anger.

If the person is driven away and the money is not recovered, the public anger will still not go away.

They are completely different from each other inside and out.

but,

Jiang Jin doesn't care.

She pretended to be very embarrassed, "Of course my nephew understands my aunt's painstaking efforts, but I have never met the person you mentioned. Such a major matter related to life and death..."

"I think it's better to ask the person involved."

The corners of her mouth gradually turned up in a strange arc.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Grandma Gu's face, but she didn't say anything.

She straightened her back, straightened her shoulders back, raised her hands and slapped her back twice.

Then I saw two rough ladies dragging what looked like a rag into Jiang Jin's small courtyard through the crowd.

After taking a few steps, he flicked it casually, as if if he touched it for a few more seconds, some virus would stick to it.

Fortunately, Qingshan acted quickly and stopped the rag when it was rolling for the fourth time, avoiding the tragic situation of hitting his head against a rock.

Even Jiang Jin, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but breathe softly, and there was a hint of sullenness between his brows.

These people don’t take life seriously!

"Mother Gu, are you giving me a person? Or a body?"

Her eyes grew colder, and she stepped towards Nanny Gu, who was holding her arms and leaning her neck forward, "If it's a corpse, I don't mind taking care of your innocent work too!"

"Master Jin, what are you talking about?"

Grandma Gu's voice became weaker by a notch,

After thinking about it, she twisted her neck and pressed forward without any sign of weakness, "Isn't there still breath left?"

She turned sideways and pointed at the person with half-open eyes in Qingshan's arms.

"This injury was caused by the mistress who caught him while he was stealing. If we talk about this, it is the madam who saved her."

Jiang Jin snorted.

The thief shouts "Catch the thief." Well done.

She didn't look at Grandma Gu's reaction. She shook off her clothes and walked towards Qingshan.

The stench mixed with the smell of blood hit my face.

Even the biting cold wind can't blow away the smell.

She looked down at the boy's thin clothes, which were in tatters and could not cover his skin. The exposed wrist was covered in bruises and was so thin that only bones remained, and she couldn't help but frown.

The Jiang Mansion never treated its servants harshly, and this person was bullied more seriously than she imagined.

She hasn't said anything yet.

I saw a "weird" smile on that man's dirty face.

It's very much like the life-threatening sickle that Hei Wuchang is holding in his hand.

His deep eyes looked past her, staring at Grandma Gu.

So crazy.

She likes it so much.

Almost instantly, Jiang Jin made a decision and squatted down holding the hem of her clothes.

His eyes caught the man's gaze and he issued a fairly sincere invitation.
