Don't go back to hometown

In his previous life, Jiang Xianyu stayed in Jiangcheng for a while, and met a young man by chance, who used his own child to blackmail the medicine hall, and thus learned the news of the snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River at the end of last year.

At that time, he hurried back to Yangzhou, passed by the medicine hall before departure, and left the wages he earned from working in the restaurant to the child who was raised by the doctor in the medicine hall by his biological father. He returned it to the father who was not as good as a beast.

At this moment, Jiang Xianyu was standing on the street of Jinling and saw the child.

In fact, he doesn't quite remember the child's appearance back then, but he has an indescribable feeling at the moment, and he intuitively feels that the child in front of him is the one he met in Jiangcheng in his previous life.

The child in front of him looked about two or three years old, wrapped in a dirty old padded jacket, only showing a small red face, eyes closed and wrinkled, as if enduring great pain.

And his father held him in his arms, and he was wearing the clean and thick cotton padded clothes that Xie's family gave to the victims, and he kept accusing the doctor of Renxintang of being a quack doctor.

The child seemed to be awakened by his father's high-pitched voice, and shook his body. His little arms wrapped under the old padded jacket struggled, but his father hugged him even tighter.

The child immediately burst into tears and struggled in the man's arms.

His cries immediately overshadowed the argument between the man and Doctor Renxintang. The little guy opened his eyes and saw the man who was hugging him. He immediately howled and stretched out his tender palm to push his face, his eyes were full of shock. Fear and fear.

Jiang Xianyu frowned, rushed up and snatched the child, and carried him into the Hall of Renxin.

"Take him to a doctor first, and I will pay the money."

The doctors of Renxintang looked at each other, and looked at the man who came to make trouble.

"What are you doing?! Why are you robbing my child?!"

The man stepped forward and pulled Jiang Xianyu's arm. Jiang Xianyu turned away and looked at the doctor at Renxintang with a sullen face: "Can you cure it? If you can't cure it, I will go to another medicine hall."

Several doctors looked at the oldest old doctor, and the old doctor stretched out his hand to Jiang Xianyu: "Show him to me."

Jiang Xianyu handed the child to the old doctor, and at the same time clamped the hands of the troublemaker who had reached out to snatch the child, twisted his arm and pushed him outside the Hall of Renxin.

The man staggered a few steps and managed to stand still, then turned around and pointed at Jiang Xianyu angrily and scolded: "Why the hell are you still beating people?! You——you must be with Renxintang, right? Everyone, come and see! The doctors at Renxintang teamed up with this scoundrel to rob my son, and they also said they are not black-hearted medicine halls!"

He sought approval and help from the onlookers outside the medicine hall, but he saw dissatisfaction on their faces.

"You're the fucking scoundrel! That's Young Master Jiang from Ping An Escort Bureau, who donated money and materials to the victims of the disaster, and even went to Huai'an to rescue the imperial envoy himself!"

The face of the troublemaker changed. He didn't expect the other party to be so powerful, and he was a little scared immediately.

At this moment, he suddenly saw the doctor at Renxintang unpack his son, carry the child into the medicine hall, and immediately changed his target.

"Stop! Where are you taking my son?!"

He bypassed Jiang Xianyu and wanted to rush into the medicine hall, but was grabbed by Jiang Xianyu and thrown back out the door.

"Is that your son?"

The troublemaker was anxious: "Why not?! That's my son! Why do you say he's not?!"

"If that was your son, why was he so afraid of you just now?" Jiang Xianyu asked back, "Everyone saw it just now, the child cried when he opened his eyes and saw you, and he didn't want you to hug him, are you really the child's father?"

Immediately, there was a buzzing discussion in the crowd: "It can't be a human trafficker?"

"That's right! How can there be a father who refuses to treat the child and asks the pharmacy to pay for it?"

"Nonsense!" The troublemaker blushed with anger, "That's my son! Which child doesn't cry or make trouble when he's sick? Why isn't it my son after two troubles?!"

Jiang Xianyu crossed his arms and looked at him coldly: "You need to check your household registration when you enter the city, right? Go to Xie's house to get a cotton coat and also check your household registration? Do you have a son on the household registration?"

The troubled man's expression changed.

In the past two years, when the road was built in the village, each household contributed labor or money according to the head of the village.The village head said that the children also benefited, and that if they have a household registration, they have to be counted as population, so he decided not to register his son's household registration on his own initiative.

The village head made a note of this incident, and later he kept refusing to register his son with household registration.It is true that his son's name is not on his household registration now.

"I, my son has not registered yet! But everyone in our village can testify that he is my son!"

Jiang Xianyu sneered, it would be easier if he didn't have a household registration.

"I'll give you ten taels of silver, and your son will have nothing to do with you from now on."

The troubled man's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed the look of surprise: "No way! At least... at least 30 taels!"

"Eight taels."

"20 taels! No less!"

"Five or two."

"Twelve taels is ten taels!"

"Five taels." Jiang Xianyu looked at him coldly, "I'm only willing to pay so much now, you can ask others."

The troublemaker turned his head to look at the onlookers.

"Who would buy dolls in this situation? How can we afford to support children after the disaster?

"That's right! It's only five taels of silver to buy a mature slave, and it's not worth buying a small doll!"

"The baby is still sick, who knows how much it will cost for medicine."

When the troublemaker heard this, he turned his head and stretched out his hand to Jiang Xianyu: "Five taels is five taels!"

He originally planned to extort five taels of silver from the medicine hall, but now that he has five taels of silver, he can get rid of a burden, which is simply his wish.It's just that there will be one less way to get money from now on... But there will always be a way to get money, he comforted himself.

Jiang Xianyu took out five taels of silver from his wallet, and said to him: "You write a deed, sell your child to me today, and his name and name will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Without further ado, the troublemaker asked the drug boy in the pharmacy to write a deed, took five taels of silver and left without looking back.He didn't even ask about the child's condition.

……

Half an hour later, Jiang Xianyu returned to the Ping An Escort with the child who had slightly lowered his fever and a few packs of medicine.

"Didn't you send glutinous rice balls to your brother Qing?" Mother Jiang wondered, "Why did you bring a child back?"

"You don't know that you can't have a child, so you just pick one up to fool me and your father?"

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

"Mother, don't mock me. I just felt sorry for him, and thought that our family adopted Su He anyway, so why not keep him and take him in as an apprentice."

"Don't!" Mother Jiang glanced at him, "Your father doesn't want to take any more apprentices, you, Su and the two brats are enough to annoy him."

"..."

"Then he will be my apprentice from now on!" Jiang Xianyu said, "Is this the head office?"

Mother Jiang snorted coldly: "You're promising! You've all left your teacher and accepted your apprentices, right?"

"..."

Well, he knows, this family has no place for him.

But Jiang's mother finally agreed to keep the child, especially after hearing that the child's father was so virtuous, she felt a lot of pity for the child from the bottom of her heart.

In the evening, the child's fever completely subsided. He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Xianyu. He seemed to recognize him as the one who saved him from his bad father, and smiled with his eyes bent.

There is also a reaction, you can recognize people, you are not stupid!Jiang Xianyu felt relieved because of this.

This time he carefully observed the child's appearance.His eyes are big and watery, and his nose and mouth are not bad. He doesn't look like that rascal father at all. He presumably followed his mother's appearance, and he might be quite handsome when he grows up.

The doctor at Renxintang said that the child had been burned for several days, and the child's father forced them to refund the drug money last time, and today he came to extort money again, most likely on purpose.Now that the child has successfully reduced the fever with medicine, it can be seen that the rascal must have used other means to keep the child sick.

So Jiang Xianyu called his servants and gave them some instructions, let them find the rascal quietly, and let him taste what it's like to be soaked in cold water without clothes.

……

After dinner, Jiang Xianyu cooked another small pot of glutinous rice balls and sent them to Xie's house, this time with sesame stuffing.

He had to see Xie Cheng tonight no matter what, to make sure that he could go with him tomorrow - he was really worried about letting Xie Cheng go to Beijing by himself.

The carriage walked slowly to Xie's mansion, Jiang Xianyu lifted the curtain of the carriage, and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure standing at the door.

His eyes lit up immediately, he immediately jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the man, slamming into his arms.

"How did you get out?"

"I'm still wondering why you haven't come tonight. There is a Lantern Festival on the street, so I have to take you to see it."

"Uncle Xie agreed?"

"Well, he still disagreed, but he didn't stop me from going out."

Knowing that he can only go to Jiang Xianyu tonight.

Jiang Xianyu was ecstatic in his heart, held his face and kissed him!
