Chapter 343: Chapter 301: Expelling Tang Meiyu and Her Son

“Bang!” A package hit the ground. Just now, Jiang Mingyue had suddenly torn open Tang Meiyu’s bag with lightning speed, and the scattered contents spilled everywhere. Among them, a tightly wrapped package stood out the most.

Tang Meiyu was startled by Jiang Mingyue’s unexpected action, but upon seeing the package, her mind instantly cleared. She quickly stepped forward to retrieve it, but someone was faster than her.

Jiang Zhengye picked up the package. As soon as he opened it, Tang Meiyu dashed forward to snatch it away, but compared to Jiang Zhengye’s height, she stood no chance.

“Brother Jiang, that’s a woman’s item, it’s best if you return it to me quickly to avoid sullying your eyes.”

Jiang Zhengye completely ignored Tang Meiyu’s words, raised his hand, and stepped back before carefully looking. Inside the package was a paper bag, and when unwrapped, it contained some powder.

Knowing she couldn’t get it back, Tang Meiyu thought that even if Jiang Zhengye saw the powder, he couldn’t be sure what it was.

Just then, Aunt Liu from next door and her husband came over to deliver something.

Aunt Liu: “Mingyue, I’ve made some cakes for you to take back and eat later.” She handed one package wrapped in oil paper to Jiang Mingyue and placed another directly on the table, “Uncle Jiang, you try some too. Thanks for taking care of me lately, if there’s anything in the future, just let me know.”

Aunt Liu’s husband, about the same age as Uncle Jiang and a bit shy, last name Li, also asked a few questions upon seeing Jiang Mingyue. It seemed Aunt Liu had mentioned her to him. He was still carrying over ten pine nuts, which he handed to Jiang Mingyue.

“Girl, do you know how to make them? If not, I can help you now?”

Jiang Mingyue: “…Thanks, I can do it.” There’s still Brother Xie An Jian at home.

Qian Duoduo, drawn by the fragrance from the oil paper package, immediately rushed over, tore open the package, and began eating in large bites.

Aunt Liu twitched her lips, glanced at Tang Meiyu, and thought to herself that this woman only looked good and didn’t even know how to teach her child.

Aunt Liu noticed what Jiang Zhengye was holding and quickly nudged her husband.

Uncle Li looked at the powder and said, “I think I’ve seen what you’re holding before, may I take a look?”

Jiang Zhengye needed someone who could identify it, so he handed it over without caring if Li Wu genuinely knew or not.

Aunt Liu explained with a smile: “Li Wu’s ancestors were veterinarians.”

That one sentence nearly made Tang Meiyu’s heart jump out of her chest. The powder was obtained from Old Mrs. Jiang, who had purchased it from a veterinarian, supposedly to aid in animal breeding.

Tang Meiyu knew she couldn’t snatch it back but thought of pulling a surprise move. Yet, Jiang Mingyue seemed to see right through her intentions, blocking her path every time, leaving Tang Meiyu without any opportunity.

What to do? This Li Wu seemed to genuinely understand. Should she run? But then she thought of the mere 53 cents in her pocket and lacked the courage to flee.

She didn’t want to suffer anymore, dragging her son from place to place, unable to eat or wear properly. She refused to live like that.

Right, even if Li Wu identifies it, so what? She could say it was for her village back home.

Li Wu pinched a bit to carefully examine it and then his expression changed, “Jiang Gong, this medicine is used for animal breeding. Why do you have this?”

Although Jiang Zhengye had some suspicions, he didn’t expect Tang Meiyu to be so ruthless as to use this medicine on him. Fortunately, he had been eating at the work canteen and only dared to eat dry food at home. Keeping this woman was a disaster.

Jiang Mingyue chimed in: “My uncle wouldn’t have something like this. Look!” Jiang Mingyue pointed at the mess on the floor, “It was hidden in Tang Meiyu’s bag. I overheard her whispering to her best friend at the door, planning to cook a meal with drinks for my uncle tonight and use the medicine on him, turning raw rice into cooked rice, so that she and her son could cling to my uncle, then take over all his assets and bleed my uncle’s family dry.”

“You, you…” Tang Meiyu tried to interrupt several times, but Aunt Liu stepped on her foot, the pain rendering her unable to speak.

“No, I didn’t.” Another hard step made her cry out in pain.

Aunt Liu laughed and said, “Oh! I wondered, a young wife like you, twenty-three years younger than Uncle Jiang, how could you willingly be with him? You had such ill intentions. In my opinion, Uncle Jiang shouldn’t have taken you and your son in; you brought wolves into the house, repaying kindness with enmity, didn’t you?”

Jiang Mingyue added: “That’s not all. My uncle let them stay one night, thinking they would leave once the rain stopped the next day. Unexpectedly, that very night, Tang Meiyu drunkenly seduced my uncle, creating the illusion that my uncle took advantage of her when in reality, my uncle was too drunk to engage.”

It was clear that everything was a ploy by Tang Meiyu.

Aunt Liu understood: No wonder Uncle Jiang took in the mother and son and allowed them to spread rumors—it seemed he felt indebted to them.

Uncle Jiang suddenly understood: It was all Tang Meiyu’s scheme, he hadn’t done anything to her at all, and it caused him a month of guilt toward his late wife and two sons.

Without saying a word, Uncle Jiang rushed into the next room, gathered everything, threw it all outside on the road, and likewise threw Tang Meiyu out the door.

“Get lost! Don’t let me see you mother and son again.”

Qian Duoduo, who was happily eating cake and candy, was also thrown out, immediately burst into tears, but it was useless, as the door was slammed shut with a “bang”.

After dealing with this mother and son, Jiang Mingyue took out roasted chicken and rabbit with pine needles, spicy chicken and rabbit, and braised chicken and rabbit from under the blue cloth, and then left.

“Yueyue, won’t you stay to eat with Uncle?”

Jiang Mingyue waved her hand, “No, I have already eaten.”

As she left, that mother and son were no longer in front of Uncle’s door, Jiang Mingyue noticed Aunt Jiang’s courtyard door open, with a group of children playing, Jiang Mingyue grabbed a handful of Big White Rabbit candies from her pocket and distributed them to them.

“Sister, thank you! Are you that Ms. Ming Yue?”

“Yes, I am Ms. Ming Yue! Thank your grandma for the cake, it was delicious!”

After patting a little girl’s head, Jiang Mingyue left.

Aunt Liu is good, so she would not skimp on kindness either.

According to the timeline, the original character was living in difficulty in Five Rams City, Ning Yan admired Jiang Zhenzhu, who instructed him to make her life miserable, make everything go wrong.

The original character arrived in Five Rams City in February, unable to stay in hotels without a recommendation letter, she had to rent a place, and at that time Ning Yan conveniently appeared, helping her rent a place. In such a filthy and chaotic environment, the original character, pampered since childhood, couldn’t stand such hardship and had no means to rent another place, so she made do, yet in this environment, her spirit suffered unprecedented blows, worse than physical pain.

Seeing her money dwindling, the original character thought about finding work, she had a high school education, though most jobs required connections, some small ones only needed identification.

She had a recommendation and a household register, quickly finding a warehouse keeper job, a job with no technical requirement, she quickly managed it, but didn’t work long before being pushed out, and the next few jobs ended the same way, seven or eight times in a row.

The original character only thought times were hard, never guessed Ning Yan was scheming behind it, her innate confidence slowly turned into self-pity and finally became inferiority, spending her days in fear and anxiety.

By that time, she stayed in Five Rams City past two o’clock, became listless, thinking of her parents, wrote letters home only to get no response, called home, the one answering was Jiang Zhenzhu, with Jiang Zhenzhu’s prideful words comparing, she felt completely crushed.

Ning Yan seized the chance to lure her to the gambling table. Initially, always winning tactics made her addicted, by the time she realized it was a trap, she couldn’t extricate herself, yet kept her dignity, when the opponent stooped lower, the original character finally couldn’t take it and jumped to her death, ending her short life.

Jiang Mingyue’s previous idea was to raise the family out of poverty; now the whole village prospers, eating isn’t an issue, so it’s time for some revenge. Though her current identity isn’t suited for revenge, who said she must do it herself?

In the evening, Jiang Mingyue inquired about Jiang Zhenzhu from Xie Yunhai.

On Jiang Zhenzhu’s side, ever since being taken away, she hasn’t been out, and went twice again to Jing County Farm.

Didn’t she send a message to her godmother? Her godmother loves her so much, she would surely rescue her.

But things went contrary to her wishes.

Old Mrs. Yang, upon receiving the message, immediately sought her son-in-law because among those she knew, he was the most powerful.

Director Jian and his daughter were having dinner when the old mother-in-law came, due to his deep feelings for his wife and spoiling his daughter, Jian Qian, out of affection, continued caring for the Yue family, even after his wife’s passing, helping her relatives find work through his connections, even if not directly, others gave them convenience for his sake.

It can be said, over the years, the Yue family benefited significantly, even Granny Yang’s status rose, every holiday receiving respect.

If the Yue family kept like this without causing trouble, Jian Qian would continue amicably with them.

But since Granny Yang took in a goddaughter, she became unreasonable, needless to say about Jian Qian, even Jian Nanqing had complaints.

But right now.

“Grandma, you and Aunt are just in time, haven’t eaten yet, right? Join us,” Jian Nanqing spoke while already heading to the kitchen for dishes, the fact Granny Yang was oblivious, if anyone else faced such a scene, they might pause, but she clearly didn’t, probably spoiled for too long by her son-in-law, forgetting herself.

“How can I have the appetite? Jian Qian, hurry and think of a way to get Zhenzhu out, she’s such a delicate girl, how can she endure such suffering?”
