Chapter 293: Chapter 289: Incomprehensible_1
Chen Tiantian recognized this woman as the wife of her father’s former colleague, Aunt Song, and was moved to tears.
In fact, her father Chen Guanglu was very good to her and her two sisters, not only did he spend money for Chen Tiantian and her elder sister to attend a private academy for ladies, but he never hit or scolded them, he was a good father indeed.
“Aunt Song.” Chen Tiantian almost choked.
Aunt Song rushed out from the yard and pulled her inside, saying, “Come in and sit, it has been some years since I last saw you.”
Chen Tiantian and Wen Yurong walked into the yard and sat down on a stone bench under a jujube tree.
Aunt Song brought them some tea and sat next to them, asking Chen Tiantian about her mother, “Where is your mother now? Is she with you?”
Shaking her head, Chen Tiantian whispered, “She’s in Prefecture City.”

“What are you doing here then?” Aunt Song asked.
“I’m studying medical skills at the medical office.”
“Oh, that’s why you look familiar. Studying medicine is good, it’s a good for living later.” Aunt Song smiled.
Chen Tiantian remained silent.
Suddenly, Aunt Song slapped her thigh, saying, “Tiantian, I almost forgot to tell you. Your father was here a while ago asking about news of you and your mother and sisters.”
Chen Tiantian was stunned, then overjoyed, “Is my father really back?”
“Yes,” Aunt Song said mysteriously, “I heard that he has attached himself to some dignitary and is doing very well.”
Chen Tiantian’s eyes lit up. “Really? Do you know who that dignitary is?”
Aunt Song was thinking for a while then shook her head, “I forgot, they said something about working for a Commandery Prince.”
“Which Commandery Prince?” Chen Tiantian asked.
“Well, I can’t remember, your Uncle Song should know.”
The two chatted for a while longer before Chen Tiantian and Wen Yurong took their leave.
Meanwhile, Yingbao, fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
She ran all the way back to the Jiang specialties shop and met her aunt Jiang Yunniang and Uncle Zhang Jia fighting.
Older cousin and the second cousin were standing aside watching the excitement, not intervening.
Because Aunt Jiang Yunniang was like a lioness, she grabbed Zhang Jia and beat him, sending him fleeing with his head in his arms.
“You bloody bastard! You dared to arrange such a match for Yukan, have the cheek to ask mother for money?” As she hit, Aunt Jiang Yunniang swore and cried.
“You are off your mind! You even let Yukan marry a girl from your concubine’s family. Zhang Jia, I want a divorce!”
Zhang Jia said stoutly, “Let’s divorce then! I have had enough of you!”
Jiang Yunniang grabbed Zhang Jia by the ear, her tears gushing down even more, “Fine, let’s write the divorce paper right now.”
In the past, for the sake of the child, for this home, and hoping that Zhang Jia could change for the better, she was reluctant to divorce.
But until now, she had lost all hope. Not only that, but Zhang Jia was willing to destroy their child and their home. For this reason alone, Jiang Yunniang could no longer tolerate him.
Jiang Yunniang rushed into the shop, asking for paper, pen, and ink from their nephew, pulled Zhang Jia, and asked him to write the divorce paper.
At the moment when he got the pen, Zhang Jia hesitated.
But recalling his delicate concubine who cried and complained about her grievances every day, he gritted his teeth and wrote two copies of the divorce paper.
Both parties put down their handprints, each holding a copy. Zhang Jia pocketed the divorce paper and was about to leave when he was stopped by Jiang Cheng.
“Wait, since you have divorced my aunt, then you should go to the county government to record it, to avoid any issues in the future.”
Jiang Cheng stared coldly at Zhang Jia, “I will be your witness.”
Zhang Jia inexplicably feared Jiang Cheng’s gaze and hastily agreed.
In this way, Jiang Cheng took Aunty Jiang Yunniang and Zhang Jia to the County Government, leaving Jiang Quan to look after the shop.
Yingbao looked around the shop and saw that most of the merchandise was pastries and dry goods from other shops. She asked her second cousin, “Aren’t you planning to grow white fungus this year?”
Jiang Quan scratched his head, “I want to, but where do I find the time to go home?”
“That’s simple.” Yingbao said: “Hire a few people to build some mushroom sheds in our yard. You can also build some in dad’s yard, and fill them all with mushrooms. This way, you can manage both tasks.”
Jiang Quan laughed and said, “Your idea is like that of eldest brother. He has already built several mushroom sheds in his yard and even taught his wife to grow white fungus.”
At this time, Jiang Quan also realized that despite his hard work, he was unable to make as much money as his elder brother did from white fungi cultivation. Therefore, he planned to grow some this year too.
But because he didn’t find a good location to build the mushroom shed, he had to delay the plan.
Now that his little cousin suggested him to build some mushroom sheds in the backyard, he naturally couldn’t wish for more. “When eldest brother comes back, I will hire some craftsmen to build the mushroom sheds.”
Yingbao nodded and then asked about her aunt’s household.
Jiang Quan said: “My uncle has fixed a marriage for Yukun. The girl is his concubine’s niece.”
“This…”
Yingbao was speechless.
It seems that Zhang Jia sincerely loved that concubine. Despite their circumstances, he still dragged his son into it. Yingbao glanced at Zhang Yuying who was looking after the stand outside and asked her second cousin, “So, Yukun agreed to it?”
She had heard from her aunt that the concubine’s family was of an ill-reputable background, so her niece must also belong to the same ill-repute. Now, Zhang Jia was letting his eldest son marry a girl of such ill-repute, was he planning to let his offspring be branded with disgrace forever?
Jiang Quan whispered, “Of course, he agreed. Otherwise, my aunt wouldn’t be so furious and want a divorce from Zhang Jia.”
Yingbao’s face twitched slightly and she asked with curiosity, “Why?”
Jiang Quan cleared his throat slightly, “Because Yukun has known that woman for a while, and has long… cough, don’t ask anymore. He agreed to marry that woman and even urged aunt to give the bride price money.”
Yingbao was dumbfounded.
Alright, it seemed she was a little ignorant, unable to understand Yukun’s behavior.
Jiang Quan asked about his little cousin’s recent situation: “How is it at the Medical Office? Is anyone bullying you?”
“Everyone in the Medical Office is good.” Except for a specific pest.
Yingbao: “What have you guys been eating recently? Did you cook meat?”
“Recently, elder sister-in-law has been cooking and bringing food over for us. We haven’t been cooking.” Jiang Quan looked at his little cousin and asked, “Is the food at the Medical Office not good?”
Yingbao shook her head, and told him about her experiences of learning the Healing Prayer Technique and being ordered by her master not to eat meat.
“Ah, today is my day off and I specifically came back to eat meat.” She didn’t dare to buy it on the streets, fearful of running into fellow students from the Medical Office.
If someone discovered her, punishment would be the least of her concerns, the worst case scenario was being sent back to the Department of Medicine.
Hearing that his little cousin wanted to eat meat, Jiang Quan laughed and hastily said, “Stay here in the shop. I’ll go buy you some braised meat.”
With that, he got up and went to the braised meat shop to buy some dishes, and also bought a big flatbread on his way.
In a short while, Jiang Quan returned with several packets of braised meat.
“I bought braised chicken, half a braised goose, and pig ears. Use the big flatbread to sandwich them, it’s delicious.”
Jiang Quan opened the lotus leaf wrap and helped his little cousin to sandwich a piece of big flatbread,” Here you go! There’s braised pig ear inside, I had them slice it into shreds, and also added shredded chicken inside.”
Yingbao took a bite.
The braised meat was savory and delicious. The pig ears were shredded and placed inside the flatbread. It was crunchy and very tasty when eaten.
