Chapter 378: Chapter 323: Exposing Family Secrets and Swapping Dirty Laundry, Old Manor Personnel Step Down

Wow! The eldest cousin has finally made a move against Old Mrs. Jiang, aiming to wipe everything out!

"Is it true?"

"Of course it’s true. My mother-in-law took my daughter to see the commotion. My daughter ran back to inform me. Let’s go, we might catch up if we go now."

Then everyone rushed towards the old house, like there was a hot meal waiting for them up ahead.

Xia Xiaosi grabbed Jiang Mingyue’s arm. "Let’s go, we’ll go watch too."

The three of them changed their course and indeed caught up.

The old house was packed with people. Thanks to Ming Yue’s squeezing skills, they managed to carve out a small gap.

Jiang Mingyue couldn’t help but remind Xia Xiaosi, who was about to move forward, while also protecting her belly, "Don’t squeeze, come stand behind me."

Xia Xiaosi touched her head, "Oh, I almost forgot I’m pregnant."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Worrying for the future nephew or niece!

If you don’t squeeze in, you can only see the top of someone’s head, but there’s a helpful old lady nearby.

Aunt Li saw it was Jiang Mingyue and eagerly seized the chance to get closer, "Your eldest cousin dragged over an old man from Liu Village next door, Li the Blind, who looks strikingly similar to Wu Cuilan. If it’s not the blind man’s spawn, I wouldn’t believe it."

Jiang Mingyue was stunned. Although she always knew the old lady had cuckolded the cheap grandfather, she never expected the eldest cousin to be so bold, directly bringing the grass-planting old man to the old lady. It feels like the sky is about to be torn apart.

Aunt Li saw her expression and was puzzled, "You didn’t know?"

Was she supposed to know?

"It’s your grandma. She colluded with the widow Tang Meiyu from Liang Village to seduce your uncle. It’s said she even wanted to give your uncle some beastly drug, oh! You may not understand this countryside stuff, but it’s definitely no good. Thankfully, your uncle didn’t take it; otherwise, at best he would have fallen for the widow’s trick, or at worst got seriously hurt.

Your brother was definitely angry. More so, your grandma’s plan failed, and she set her sights on your eldest cousin, even bringing that widow home, claiming she’s your eldest cousin’s wife, and even said that the child the widow brought is your eldest cousin’s child.

Isn’t that just disgusting? Don’t mention your eldest cousin who is good-looking, has a good physique, and is the purchasing manager of a department store; even someone like Chen Ergou wouldn’t fancy that widow. Yet your grandma had the nerve to pull off such a stunt. Everyone in the village sees it clearly. Look, she’s angered your brother now.

It’s simply her own doing!

Oh, and your eldest cousin actually has someone he likes."

The implication being, I’m going to play matchmaker!

Jiang Mingyue, with a mischievous intention, said with a smile, "Auntie, although we siblings are close, we don’t share everything. I really don’t know - why don’t you ask my eldest cousin?"

Aunt Li shook her body, "Let’s forget it!"

Speaking of Jiang Ming’an, he has always kept a distance from the village. When someone keeps a distance, people tend to feel intimidated and out of reach.

After waiting a while, Aunt Li found another topic.

As if there was no hurry to watch the excitement in the yard.

"Ming Yue, how many days will you stay in the village?"

"Aunt Li, I was supposed to leave later, but now it’s hard to say."

Aunt Li disapproved, "Why leave? It’s already late, you’re a girl, don’t be too bold. Leave after breakfast tomorrow morning. Also, it’s best to travel with your eldest cousin. Yes, definitely together."

"Yes, listening to Aunt Li."

Aunt Li, receiving agreement, was as happy as if she’d sip honey.

Jiang Mingyue also surveyed the other villagers and found that although they seemed to be watching the commotion, their eyes and ears were directed towards them.

There’s a feeling of becoming part of the excitement, but everyone’s eyes were filled with goodwill, and Jiang Mingyue gave a smile back to everyone.

She felt very happy. Secretary Bai’s leadership that day was really insightful. Look at the villagers’ spirit now compared to before; it’s like night and day.

Villagers used to be sallow and emaciated. Even the young and strong ones looked like they hardly had any flesh on their faces, and some were so long-starved they were close to mummification, shriveled and gaunt.

But now, the villagers are ruddy and radiant, their eyes are sharp and vibrant. This vitality is built upon being well-fed and warmly dressed and in good health. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Jiang Mingyue could still "see" it.

Li the Blind was quite different from what she imagined in Old Mrs. Jiang’s mind, after all, one is young, the other is old, key being his eyes revealed a lewd vibe, and he was hunched over.

Calculating age, he’s sixty-five now, but even the nearly ninety-year-old granduncle seems younger than him. The granduncle is still the nominal director of the brick kiln, full of vigor.
