"How could it be false? The whole village has spread the news, and it's so detailed. Some people even saw with their own eyes that Jiang Laoda's family was wearing gold and silver, bought a house in the town, and went back to the big house to sleep at night!"

Mrs. Wang said sourly, and then added: "Think about it carefully, Boss Jiang's family has been running a shop in town for more than ten years. If he didn't make money, why would he keep it open? Moreover, there are four of them in the family, and they often don't return to the village. If there is no good place to go in the town, there is no other reason. But since he made money, why did he hide it? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Liu, you have all been deceived by Boss Jiang."

Liu was first shocked, then ecstatic, and finally angry.

Yes, Boss Jiang’s restaurant is making so much money, why didn’t he tell his family?!

Liu couldn't sit still anymore. Not only was it a matter of Boss Jiang making money, but she also couldn't stand being bullied by Fang Zhong and the other two any longer.

Instead of swallowing my anger and waiting in the village for Old Lady Jiang and the others to come back, it is better to go to the town to find out what is going on!

Liu made up her mind, turned back to the house and started packing her luggage.

Fang Zhong's wife heard the noise and walked out lazily.

"Sister Liu, why don't you hurry up and wash the clothes? Why are you packing them? I'm still waiting for clean clothes to wear."

Liu tied the bundle hastily, looked up and glared at her resentfully.

"You stupid pig, why should I wash your clothes? I'm telling you, you're bullying me because you're outnumbered. I'm going to find someone to take care of you now!"

After saying that, Liu pushed Fang Zhong's wife away and strode towards the village entrance.

*

Liu came to Luohe Town and after asking around, she found the brunch restaurant run by Boss Jiang.

It was evening and there were not many diners in the brunch restaurant, only a few guests sitting there.

Liu hesitated at the door for a while before walking in.

"Sister-in-law? Why are you here?"

Mrs. Wu had just served a dish to a guest when she looked up and saw Mrs. Liu, who looked haggard.

Not only did Liu look haggard, but the anger and resentment on her face almost overflowed.

It would have been fine if Liu didn't look good, but the most important thing was that she had lost a lot of weight in half a month.

His hair is dry and dull, his skin is sallow and thin, and he is not as energetic as before. He looks as if he has suffered a lot.

When Liu saw Wu's rosy complexion and plump cheeks, and the clothes she was wearing were made of the finest cotton and linen, she became even more convinced that Boss Jiang's restaurant was making money but was hiding this from his family.

She said unhappily, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for half a month. You have gained a lot of weight."

Wu touched her face and laughed dryly, "I'm not fat at all, it's just your eyes that are blurry."

Liu has the most sharp eyes, how could they be blurry?

"Sister-in-law, do you know how much I have suffered recently?"

Liu didn't want to beat around the bush with her and complained directly.

As she said this, she sat down at a table.

A diner was eating opposite. Seeing Liu's rude behavior, he said to Wu in displeasure, "Madam, are your relatives coming again? Why are there only these vulgar country bumpkins?"

Liu was already very angry. When she heard someone scolding her, she slammed the table and spat, "Who are you calling a country bumpkin? I think you are the country bumpkin! Don't think you are great just because you have a couple of stinky bucks to eat here! I tell you, this is a restaurant owned by my sister-in-law. If you scold me, you are scolding my sister-in-law. Be careful that my sister-in-law won't treat you well in the future!"

The guest got angry, threw the money for the meal, cursed, "I don't even want to eat it!" and left in a huff.

Wu hurriedly took out money to stop the customer, who was upset and threatened never to come again. He turned around and disappeared in the crowd.

Mrs. Wu was anxious and angry. She walked back quickly and lost her temper with Mrs. Liu.

"Sister-in-law, are you here to mess things up? You've ruined my good business, are you doing this on purpose?!"

Liu took the noodles that the customer didn't want to eat and started eating them in big mouthfuls without caring whether they were clean or not.

During this time in Lushui Village, there was not much food at home. Fang Zhong and the other two had big appetites, so every time it was time for dinner, Liu couldn't get enough of them and could only eat half full.

Now the fragrant white noodles are right in front of you, it would be a waste not to eat them.

Mrs. Wu looked at the man wolfing down the food and frowned in disgust.

She went in and called out Boss Jiang and the eldest son.

When Boss Jiang saw Liu, his face darkened. "Liu, why are you coming to town when you are not staying in Lushui Village to look after the family?"

Liu gulped down half a bowl of noodles, smacked her lips, and said, "Brother, your noodles are really delicious. I haven't had a full meal at home for several days. Ask sister-in-law to make me another bowl."

Boss Jiang is getting angry.

Liu had always been honest in the Jiang family and was quite respectful to Boss Jiang. How could she dare to ignore him today?

"Liu, you haven't answered my question yet!"

Boss Jiang raised his voice, and the other diners in the restaurant looked over with curiosity in their eyes.

Wu was afraid of disturbing the guests while they were eating, so she pulled on the sleeve of Jiang Lao Da and asked him to lower his voice, then she winked at her eldest son Jiang Songping.

Jiang Songping was a tall and strong man. He stepped forward and grabbed Liu's arm. With a little force, Liu's face turned pale with pain.

"what--"

Liu was about to cry out in pain, but Jiang Songping glared at her with his fierce eyes, and Liu was so scared that she swallowed her words.

Seeing that her arrogance had subsided, Boss Jiang waved his hand impatiently and said, "Pull her to the back. She's affecting our business here."

Jiang Songping nodded and dragged Liu to the back of the restaurant like a chicken.

At first, Liu was full of resentment and anger. She came to find Boss Jiang to put on airs and question him why he concealed the truth about the restaurant.

As a result, he didn't show off for long before he was frightened by Jiang Songping's brute force.

Jiang Songping is not as useless as Liu's son Jiang Songxing.

Jiang Songping is a strong man with great strength.

He did whatever Boss Jiang told him to do. Most people would be scared when they saw Jiang Songping's big body.

Liu was taken to the backyard by Jiang Songping. Coincidentally, Jiang Yan'er was washing clothes. There was a wooden basin full of clothes piled high, which were very similar to the clothes Liu had just washed.

"Yan'er!"

Liu exclaimed.

Jiang Yaner looked up and was stunned. "Mom?! Why are you here? Why are you here in town when you're not at home taking care of the house?"

Liu ran over and looked at the wooden basin of clothes, her expression indescribable.

"Yan'er, you...why are you washing clothes? Whose clothes are these?"

Jiang Yan'er said, "What's wrong with me washing clothes? These are Sister Lian'er's."

"Lian'er?" Liu was stunned and asked, "Why are you helping Lian'er wash clothes? Aren't you here to recuperate? How is the wound on your face?"

Liu was about to reach out and touch Jiang Yan'er's face, but Jiang Lian'er turned her head away in resistance, impatiently saying, "It's my freedom to wash clothes for anyone! My wounds are much better now, don't touch me!"

Liu had no choice but to withdraw her hand. She looked down at Jiang Yaner's red and swollen hands and felt heartbroken.

Although Liu was sneaky and cunning, she still doted on Jiang Yan'er. After all, she was a piece of her flesh and blood. How could she not feel pain?

"Yan'er, why are you still washing clothes? Mother has something important to tell you!"
