Chapter 634: Chapter 316 Recovery_2

She came up behind Qian Sangui and called out, "Grandpa."

Qian Sangui turned around with a smile, and the grandfather and granddaughter silently walked hand in hand slowly toward the head of the village. Qian Sangui even turned back to stop Su Siwu and Zi Zhu from following them.

Before they even reached the entrance of the village, they could hear the crowing of chickens, the barking of dogs, and the villagers talking loudly.

As the two entered the village, they saw some of the villagers squatting at their courtyard gates, eating breakfast from large bowls.

When the villagers saw Qian Sangui, they got up and greeted him with smiles, "Master Qian, you’re up early."

Qian Sangui laughed and said, "You’re even earlier, already having breakfast."

The villagers laughed and said, "We lead hardworking lives, so we need to eat quickly and get to the fields to work."

Yixiu walked around the village with Qian Sangui, and many people inside their houses, hearing that Master Qian had come to the village, ran to the entrance to greet them. Qian Dagui, Qian Ergui, and Qian Liang’s family, as well as Madam Hua’s family, all invited them to have breakfast at their homes, but Qian Sangui waved his hand and declined with a smile.

Hua Qiang had taken a wife in the Capital City and had brought her back this time to meet his in-laws. Hua Qiang was no longer Father Jiang’s personal soldier but had become an eighth rank junior official under Father Jiang, helping him with miscellaneous matters—like a life secretary from a past life.

His home in the Capital City was located on the street behind the Qian mansion courtyard, where mostly the mansions’ servants lived. Manjiang had given him a small courtyard to save them the expense of renting elsewhere.

Hua Qiang wasn’t without savings, as he had brought a significant amount of silver back to his hometown, allowing his brother to build a large courtyard and take a wife for the enjoyment of their parents.

Madam Hua and Hua Dianzi, learning that their son had become an official and even married a woman from the Capital City, were so excited that they cried. The day before, at the feast in Qian’s Main Courtyard, the couple had kowtowed to Qian Sangui and had even intended to go to Guiyuan to kowtow to Manjiang but had been dissuaded by Qian Sangui.

After wandering the village for nearly half an hour, the two returned to Guiyuan.

At noon, Qian Sangui, Lady Wu, and Yixiu went to dine with the second wife again. Actually, Yixiu didn’t want to go at all, but Father Jiang was accompanying his concubine, and it wouldn’t have been proper for her to stay away.

Qian Manhe and his wife were very hospitable, setting aside a room specifically to entertain Yixiu and the two girls, Qian Manting and Qian Yiduo.

The three young girls were whispering among themselves when they heard a commotion outside the window. When they went out to look, they saw that Lady Tang had arrived.

Ever since Qian’s third wife and Old man Qian had left, Lady Tang would occasionally come to walk around the village. When she saw Qian Ergui, she would go over, wipe her tears, and reminisce about the good old days...

Knowing that the second family was hosting guests today, she thought of coming to admit her faults to Master Qian and Old woman Qian, hoping to have Qian Ergui take her back.

But to her surprise, the worker guarding the door wouldn’t let her in, and she ended up arguing with him. When Qian Ergui’s concubine, Lady Zhu, heard the commotion, she also went out to stop Lady Tang from entering. Upon seeing Lady Zhu blocking her, Lady Tang’s eyes reddened with anger, and she began to argue fiercely with her.

Hearing the quarrel, everyone went outside.

Upon seeing it was Lady Tang, Old man Qian cursed, "You wicked woman, my son has already divorced you, and still you come to his house—what for?"

Seeing Master Qian and Old woman Qian come out, Lady Tang quickly got off her low stool and knelt down, saying, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Father Manhe said that once you returned, he would plead with you to let me come back to the Qian family."

Old woman Qian angrily said, "You’re dreaming, woman. My son never said such a thing. We finally got rid of you, why would we let you come back in again to cause trouble?"

Manhe quickly came to pull Lady Tang away, pleading, "Mother, go back home. We can talk about this another day."

Qian Ergui also came out, his face flushed with anger as he scolded, "You’re talking nonsense, when did I say that?"

Upon hearing this denial, Lady Tang wasn’t having any of it and began to wail loudly, "You heartless man, every time you slept at my house, you said those words. Now you deny it. Did I let you sleep with me for nothing?"

Her words immediately caused an uproar of laughter.

Manhe dragged Lady Tang out forcefully, yelling, "Mother, I’m begging you, please save some face for your son and yourself."

Qian Ergui’s face had turned purple with rage, and he cursed, "You shameless woman, what are you blabbering about? When have I ever slept at your house?"

Lady Tang was already being dragged away by her son, but her loud voice could still be heard, "Qian Ergui, you despicable wretch, sleeping with me and not admitting it. Many people saw you sleeping at my house; you can’t deny it..."

A young villager laughed and said, "Lady Tang, you’re both old and limping, who would fancy you..."
