Chapter 222: Going Far Away
Mr. Wang is not an ordinary person; this matter is related to his former superior. How could he not put a word in!
He immediately dialed Mr. Fang.
When Old Sir Fang heard the whole story, he was infuriated by his daughter-in-law. He never begged anyone in his life, but in the end, his daughter-in-law acted against him while pretending to obey.
She even slapped on his old face.
Mainly, if the grandson was really aggrieved, it would be one thing, but Old Sir Fang knew exactly what kind of person Fang Peizhong was.
A while ago, the mix-up with the children caused such a stir. It wasn't like he didn't know. Initially, the granddaughter came back, a truly good kid. Who knew what was going on with those two, but they finally drove that child out of the house.
Although they swore up and down that it wasn't them who sent the child away, it was the child who insisted on staying with her adoptive parents. How could Old Sir Fang be fooled by such talk? He asked his eldest son to look into it.
That's when he found out what kind of plans his son and daughter-in-law had. They were really some plans!
No wonder the little girl didn't want to come back. If it were him, he wouldn't want to come back either.
Finding the biological parents was just like not finding them at all.
Initially, Old Sir Fang wanted to visit the granddaughter and see her adoptive parents, to repay their kindness to the granddaughter, as that was only human. From these things, Old Sir Fang and Lady Fang could see.
The adoptive parents are indeed good people.
But later on, Old Sir Fang's hypertension acted up, and he suddenly fell ill.
By the time he wanted to go again, his eldest had already told him the granddaughter had gone to the countryside.
Plus, at the adoptive parents' home, the daughter had come back to have a baby and was in confinement, so it was inconvenient for them to visit.
As things dragged on and on, who would have thought his daughter-in-law would stir up another issue now?
And personally went under his name to seek out his old comrades.
What's she planning to do?
This is going to turn the world upside down.
Old Sir Fang was furious and immediately told him there was no need for him to handle this.
If that daughter-in-law dared to make trouble, directly tell her that he said, "No way is she allowed to open this back door."
With this, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang eased their minds, realizing that Ye Hua's visit to their home was entirely unbeknownst to Old Sir Fang.
Mrs. Wang worried that the cocktail party might fall apart and urgently asked the driver to take her to Jiang Yue's home.
Arriving at the address, Jiang Xiaoxiao was about to head out.
Jiang Xiaoxiao planned to return to the farm this afternoon.
She hadn't picked up Jia Shu, so she didn't know if it was delayed or what.
The opportunity hadn't presented itself.
The train from Jia Shu's side runs only once every three days; being here is useless.
At this point, she had prepared a lot of gifts, intending to go to Old Sir Song's home to deliver them.
And then deliver the things that Old Sir Song and Lady Song prepared for Song Moting, completing her task.
If she remembered correctly, the policy on college entrance examinations would be notified these days.
At most, prepare another one or two months, then it's time for the exams.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao!"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly called out when she saw her.
Seeing the person made her heart pound excitedly.
Jiang Xiaoxiao turned around and realized it was Mr. Wang's mother.
So early in the morning, could she be here to block her?
"Aunt Wang, what brings you here?"
"It's a bit early; where are you headed? How about I give you a lift?"
Mrs. Wang also realized her impatience had led her here this early, not to mention asking for things, which was embarrassing.
It's all because of her troublesome son. Clearly, he was supposed to do something, but today he had an affair, otherwise she wouldn't have to risk her old face.
Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Auntie, really no need. I'm delivering something to Old Sir Song and helping him pass along some things to Song Moting; I'm heading back to the forest today. Do you have anything for me? Just let me know; I'll take care of it as soon as I can, otherwise I'm leaving this afternoon."
The address for Old Sir Song's place had already been inquired.
It's just a ten-minute walk.
They're all living in the military district compound, not too far.
Besides, what I'm carrying is not heavy at all.
Mrs. Wang hesitated; asking straight-out for people's things is inappropriate, but for her husband, she couldn't afford face.
"It's like this: the medicinal wine you gave your uncle yesterday, that peach wine—didn't expect it really to work after drinking! I think there's not much left; if you happen to have it, could you give me two more bottles?
Your uncle's leg! Every winter it flares up, and the pain is unbearable. No medicine from the hospital helps; we've tried everything, didn't expect your ancestral recipe to work. So, you see...
Or we could buy it!"
Such words sound distant! But afraid Jiang Xiaoxiao thought they were taking advantage.
Mrs. Wang worried even more that Jiang Xiaoxiao would say she didn't have the wine at hand, which would be the biggest hassle.
After all, who goes out with that much wine on them?
Jiang Xiaoxiao laughed, "Auntie, you're asking for the wine! Then wait a moment. I have a few bottles on hand. This is my sister's house, so the wine is stored here. If your husband runs out after drinking, just send someone to my sister's place, and I'll have her give it to you directly. Let me go in and get you two bottles."
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly realized the efficacy of the family peach wine might have become apparent. Although she made this wine, she was truly unaware of the extent of its effectiveness, yet evidently, its efficacy must be notable.
Otherwise, Mrs. Wang wouldn't have come early in the morning to block her.
At any rate, Mr. Wang is a sincere person who has helped their family several times.
The purpose of giving this wine was to thank Mr. Wang, and as such, this favor must be properly fulfilled.
It's only a few bottles of wine!
We can afford that.
Jiang Xiaoxiao went in and came out with two bottles.
Mrs. Wang smiled broadly at the sight of the two bottles, her face full of wrinkles relaxing.
"Xiao Jiang, thank you, really thank you. I never expected meeting you would be such a blessing for our family, my husband has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for so many years. I truly didn't imagine your ancestral recipe would have such miraculous effects.
What should this wine cost? You tell me! We can't possibly take advantage of you, a child like that, for free. How would we feel in our heart?
Mrs. Wang was sincere, after all, this medicinal wine is so effective, far beyond their expectations for an ancestral recipe, and how much could it sell for?
In truth, the girl offered it because of their bond.
But they couldn't take advantage, as surely a great deal of effort went into this.
Moreover, it contains medicinal herbs, surely expensive ones, not just visible peaches, but must include other herbs.
Mrs. Wang sincerely didn't want others to think they were taking advantage.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled.
"Auntie, what money are you talking about? I've cooperated with Mr. Wang several times, we're friends after all. Mr. Wang is like a friend's father to me, and no matter what, I couldn't take your money.
This wine is made casually by our family and didn't cost much at all. Let Mr. Wang drink it, and if it's really effective, you're welcome to come to my sister's place anytime to get more."
Truth be told, she genuinely doesn't need the money, this peach wine almost costs nothing to make.
It's just Mr. Wang, or she wouldn't give it to anyone else.
"Such a good child!"
Mrs. Wang was deeply moved; this young woman's sincerity shone through.
Truly doing good without seeking returns.
Jiang Xiaoxiao waved, "Auntie, you should hurry home, I need to go to Old Sir Song's place."
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked afar.
