Jiang Sheng looked at Li Ling, who looked like she was facing a great enemy, and said with a faint smile:

"Second Aunt, I'm here, you don't need to be too nervous, just keep calm. Sometimes, a good attitude can solve many problems."

Now, Li Ling regarded Jiang Sheng's words as an imperial decree, and she nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'm not nervous. I'm not nervous."

Jiang Sheng got out of the carriage with a smile. Lu Ming was already waiting outside the carriage.

"Sheng'er, how is your second aunt?"

"Second Aunt is fine, and the child is fine too. Don't worry too much. I'm here, everything will be fine."

Lu Ming rubbed his hands, with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Of course I know, but your second aunt is old and hasn't given birth for many years. This child came too suddenly, so I can't help but feel happy and worried."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Then do something else to distract yourself."

"doing what?"

"Install a prosthetic limb."

Lu Ming was surprised, and then asked with ecstasy

"So soon? Didn't you say we had to wait for a while?"

Jiang Sheng did think so before, but this morning she saw that the prosthetic limb that her second uncle needed was suddenly discounted in the points mall.

Compared with the past, the points are nearly half cheaper. As the saying goes, if you can get a good deal, you’d be a fool not to take advantage of it.

She didn't want to be a bastard, so she decisively chose to exchange it.

"We did have to wait a little longer, but now we don't have to."

After hearing her say this, Lu Ming did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Sheng now really likes dealing with smart people. Every time she has any abnormal actions or behaviors, the Lu family members always adhere to the spirit of "if you don't say anything, I won't ask; if you give it to me, I will take it" and pretend to be deaf and dumb and ignore everything.

As for her abnormality, they all tacitly chose to keep it a secret and protect it, leaving all the initiative to themselves.

That’s what family does.

"Sheng'er, when will the prosthesis be installed?"

Jiang Sheng thought about it

"How was tonight?"

The tone was so calm, as if he was talking about what to eat tonight.

Lu Ming's face flushed with excitement.

"Okay, tonight."

After breakfast, Zhang Quanyou brought his son over to help the Lu family collect the oilcloth and load it onto the truck.

They did all the work they could, leaving Yingqiu and the others with some free time.

Jiang Sheng asked with a smile

"Is Sanya's condition better?"

Zhang Quanyou's face was more smiling

"She didn't have a fever last night. She coughed a few times when she woke up in the morning, but she looked more energetic. This morning her mother cooked a bowl of rice porridge, and she drank it all."

Then he whispered

"Thank you very much for the refined rice and flour sent by Doctor Jiang last night. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I will not hesitate."

"My grandfather asked me to send these things, not only to you, but also to the Sun family as well.

I didn’t dare to interact with you before because I was afraid that it would cause trouble to you. I hope you can…”

Zhang Quanyou seemed surprised

"Did the old general ask you to send it? I knew he hadn't forgotten us."

A man who was a man of integrity had tears in his eyes in an instant. He turned his face away and wiped away his tears.

"I'm going back now. I'll come back to talk to the old general when I have the chance."

Although the autumn wind is chilly today, it is a sunny day with a clear blue sky and no clouds.

After so many days of rain, this sunny day inexplicably makes people feel good.

After breakfast, Wei Hu gave the order to set off.

As they were walking, Nanzhu suddenly whispered

"Miss, Jiang Lin is missing."

Jiang Sheng turned around and saw Wu Yong and Zhou following behind him with furtive looks on their faces, being unusually low-key and quiet.

"Did you look carefully?"

Nanzhu nodded.

"I didn't see him when we set out just now. Jiang Lin was very sick and couldn't walk. The Wu family didn't have a cart, so Wu Yong basically carried him on his back."

Jiang Sheng took a look and found that it was indeed the case.

Nanzhu whispered

"Miss, do you want to remind Wei Hu?"

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment

"Need not."

Wei Hu is no pushover either. Even if he ignores it for the moment, he will definitely discover it later.

As expected, Wei Hu took a look around.

"Wu Yong, where is Wu Jiangshi?"

Wu Yong might have been frightened by Wei Hu's whip, and he trembled with fear when he heard Wei Hu's shout.

Zhou quickly protected the person behind him

"How would we know? Maybe he ran away on his own."

Wei Hu took out a whip and started whipping him.

"Speak! Where are the people?"

Zhou was beaten to the ground and kept yelling.

"I don't know, she ran away on her own!"

Wei Hu snorted coldly

"I think you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

After saying that, he whipped Wu Yong.

Wu Yong screamed in pain, and Zhou rolled over and crawled to protect him.

"If you want to hit me, hit me, not my son!"

Wei Hu watched this scene of deep affection between mother and son with cold eyes.

"Li Si, pull him away."

"Yes, boss."

Li Si led his men forward, pulled Zhou away, and whipped Wu Yong severely.

"Don't tell me!"

Zhou was stubborn at first, but after the third whip, he couldn't bear the pain anymore.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll tell you, I'll tell you."

After Wei Hu stopped, Zhou cried and said

"We threw that sickly kid into the bushes when we were hiding from the rain."

Wei Hu put away his whip, looked at the two of them, and said with a sinister look:

"If you do evil again, I will burn you and your mother to ashes and take you to Bianjiang City."

Then he said to the person next to him

"Follow us and bring the person back. If he's alive, we must see him. If he's dead, we must see his body."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Zhou didn't dare to say anything and limped away with the yamen runner.

The people nearby watched the whole process and no one dared to speak.

Yuzhu leaned against the front of the carriage and sneered.

"Miss, this Wu Yong is really a piece of shit. Officer Wei didn't tell anyone who should go. His mother has been whipped more than him.

Look at him, it's nothing serious, but he's lying there pretending to be dead, letting his mother go."

Nanzhu whispered

"I think they are both willing to fight and suffer."

If Zhou had not been overly indulgent, there would be no Wu Yong today.

Jiang Sheng looked at Zhou's back as she left and said softly

"Nanzhu is right. They are both willing to fight and be beaten. Zhou is responsible for most of Wu Yong's selfishness and ignorance. She has spoiled her child so much, so she has to bear the consequences."

Yingyue looked at Wu Ming sitting beside her and whispered

"Miss, do you think that Mr. Wu is a little too calm? Along the way, he not only spoke little, but also had little presence.

No matter how the mother and daughter acted, he turned a blind eye, neither supported them nor apologized, and just stood by and watched coldly. "

Yingqiu said on the side

"This Lord Wu may seem cowardly, but he is actually bold and righteous. Otherwise, how could he have dared to keep a mistress outside without Zhou's knowledge? The son born to him by that mistress is only a few years younger than Wu Yong."
