Chapter 190 Leaving
Chapter 190 Leaving
It was too early. When the two arrived at Xiaozhenzhu Village carrying large bags and small packages, Jiang Xiaojun and his three siblings had obviously just gotten up.
The group of people, who were still half asleep, were immediately woken up by her grand gesture.
"Good heavens! Little brother, has your sister emptied out all the supply and marketing cooperatives in our county?"
How much money would that cost?!
Jiang Xiaoyuan subconsciously swallowed, grabbed his arm, and stole a glance at her older brother and sister: Suddenly, she really wanted to be her younger brother, cough, just... just a tiny bit.
"Ningning, what are you doing?"
"Yes, Ningning, come on in with Brother Zhang first, let's talk inside!"
Although they live in a relatively remote area, there are still several other households nearby. If someone sees them, especially Ma Dazui, who is known for his gossip, they probably won't have any peace and quiet until the end of the year.
After welcoming the two into the house, Jiang Xiaoman quickly tidied up the earthen bed and then hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil water.
They had only been separated for one night after recognizing each other, and when Jiang Xiaotong saw her again, her eyes inexplicably stung. "Sister."
"good."
Putting down what she was holding, Su Ning returned his gentle smile and pulled him to sit down next to the kang (a heated brick bed) without much formality.
"Brother Jiang, these things are just a small token of my appreciation. Please don't refuse them, or I'll feel bad."
"this…"
“If you really treat me like family, as you said yesterday, then don’t be shy. These things are not a burden to me.”
Jiang Xiaojun, who wasn't good with words, was completely shut down by her two sentences. Seeing that things had come to this point, it wouldn't look good to refuse anymore, so he rubbed his hands and nodded hesitantly.
"Well, this is the last time. Ningning, don't do this again next time."
"Hehe, okay, I'll do whatever Brother Jiang says."
After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Xiaojun took his younger brother to the kitchen to help, and Zhang Ze, being quite perceptive, left the two of them alone and retreated outside.
……
The walls of the thatched hut were plastered with yellow mud and gravel and sand, and the ground was compacted but not very smooth after years of being trampled.
On the cabinet against the wall of the earthen kang (heated brick bed) were stacked cotton quilts that looked stiff just by looking at them; there was nothing else on the surface.
The only bright spot in this home, which could be described as extremely poor, was the wind chime made of withered branches, thin hemp rope, and seashells hanging by the window.
Withdrawing her gaze, Su Ning, though not having experienced it herself, could easily imagine how the four Jiang siblings grew up when they were young.
"Sister, I discussed it with my older brother and the others last night, and I want to change my surname back to Su."
Seeing the tears welling up in her eyes and her face full of heartache, Jiang Xiaotong gently took her hand and changed the subject at the right time, "Grandpa and Mom are both gone, sister, why don't you help me choose a name?"
"it is good."
As expected, when this was mentioned, Su Ning immediately focused her attention on the important matter of naming her younger brother.
What should we choose?
She frowned and thought carefully for a moment. After a moment of contemplation, her eyes flashed and her red lips parted slightly.
“Only, is it a common thought.”
"Su Wei, how are you?"
"Su Wei, Su Wei, okay, then I'll call you that from now on!"
Although he didn't understand what his sister meant by what she said, he could tell from the light in her eyes that she really liked that word, so Jiang, or rather, Su Wei now, liked it unconditionally as well.
"Alright, since Uncle Jiang gave you the nickname 'Little Copper Coin,' we can continue to use it as your nickname."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but lift the scar that was covered by her slightly long hair.
"My sister has a scar-removing medicine..."
"No need, sister, I want to keep this scar."
Grinning, Su Wei touched the scar, then shook his head dismissively. He was a boy, so it didn't matter if he was disfigured. Besides, it was proof that his mother had risked her life to protect him, and he couldn't bear to remove it.
With the name issue resolved, the next crucial question is whether the name should remain or be kept.
"Sister, I'd like to stay here for now, until my eldest brother gets married and I get married, then I'll go to Xiangnan to stay with you, okay?"
Jiang Xiaojun is 21 this year, and Jiang Xiaoman is 19. Both of them can be considered late-married young people, all because of him and Xiaoge.
Since his elder brother and sister were reluctant to leave, Su Wei could only try to find a way to satisfy both sides. By participating in his elder brother and sister's important life event and witnessing their happiness, he could leave for Hunan with peace of mind.
"Okay, whatever decision you make, I'll support you."
This outcome is the best arrangement at present.
……
I spent two days with Su Wei in Little Pearl Village, helping the siblings develop their relationship.
They were also waiting for the verdicts of Zhou Wei and the other two people detained in the detention center.
Because Jiang Fumin was afraid that rescuing Su Jinglei would lead to something fatal and involve his family, he secretly destroyed the ropes and sacks used to tie her up.
Even when he rescued the mother and child, he never mentioned the specific circumstances to his best friend, Jiang Dahai.
It was only because Zhou Wei and the other two, who were terrified when they were taken to the police station, confessed and turned themselves in that they all confessed. Otherwise, without crucial physical and witness evidence, it would have been difficult for even the culprit Xu Zixin to receive a severe sentence, let alone the other two.
After the plainclothes police officers examined the body in the village, found Jiang Dahai to understand the situation, and obtained the confessions of Zhou Wei and the other two, the matter was officially considered closed.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Wei, who was extremely afraid of death, became a real man before his death. When he realized that he couldn't avoid being fed peanuts, he took all the blame and claimed that his wife was coerced and knew nothing about it.
In the end, Zhou Wei and his brother-in-law were fed peanuts, while Zhou Wei's wife narrowly escaped death and was sentenced to 15 years of labor reform.
As for the mysterious savior surnamed Qu who came to the rescue, there is still no news at all.
Anticipating that finding the person would not be a matter of a day or two, and that he would also need to visit Yan Ziyu's family and return home would take a considerable amount of time, Su Ning decided to head to Kendi Farm.
……
On the day of their departure, Su Wei and the three Jiang siblings saw them off to the edge of the village, but lingered there for a long time, reluctant to leave.
Seeing her turn around, Su Wei, unable to control herself any longer, rushed forward with red eyes and hugged her tightly.
"Sister, wait for me. I'll come find you after things are settled with my older brother and sister. I'll stay with you forever from now on."
"Okay, I'll wait for my little copper coin. Don't cry, I can come over again when I have time. If you miss me, you can come visit me a month or two in advance, okay?"
"I know, sister."
"Keep the address I left you safe. You can reach me anytime by phone. Be sure to tell your sister if anything happens."
"Before I left, I left something under your pillow. You can look at it when you get back."
Hearing the words of advice and instructions, Su Wei's heart was warmed and his eyes were filled with tears.
He buried his head in her shoulder until the tears in his eyes cleared, then Su Wei forced a smile and repeatedly agreed.
They both knew that their separation today was for a better and longer-lasting future together.
Only after the two figures had completely disappeared into the distance did Jiang Xiaojun step forward and pat him on the back, saying, "Little brother."
"Let's go home, brother."
Seeing that he had composed himself and didn't look too upset, she breathed a slight sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay, let's go home."
Back home, Su Wei quickly went to the kang (a heated brick bed) and lifted his pillow. Underneath was a large cowhide bag and an envelope.
The leather bag was full of black 100-yuan notes, which looked to be at least several thousand yuan. Not to mention the rare coupons, even the grain coupons were basically the most valuable kind that were valid throughout the country.
The envelope contained four flat, black jade pendants of the same size.
"Hey! Quick, Xiao Tong, go after them and see if you can catch up!"
Jiang Xiaojun had never seen such a large sum of money before. He had only one thought in his mind: chase after them and bring them back as soon as possible.
If they lose this, even if they work their whole lives, they might not be able to survive!
Not to mention the dumbfounded Jiang Xiaojun, even Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but breathe rapidly, unable to recover for a long time.
"My sister said these are all her heartfelt gifts, and she only gave them to you when she left because she was afraid you would refuse them."
To be honest, Su Wei had thought that her older sister was rich, but she didn't really have a concept of the Su family inheritance left by her maternal grandfather that her sister mentioned.
Seeing so many banknotes for the first time left him dumbfounded, and his hands holding the leather bag trembled slightly.
"Brother, please accept it. We're going to build a nice big house for our family, and you should find us a good sister-in-law."
"But this..."
