Chapter 26 Then, please, sir, educate the thief
g before him, his sword pressed against Wen Ruyu's face."Not even a single trash can you kill, what use are you to me! What use is the Black Wind Ridge!""It's the subordinate's dereliction of duty!"We..."This is for my child, please take it."
What Ginger didn't say was that this candy still came from their Chen family.
She remembered a storeroom filled with snacks, candies, and melon seeds. She estimated that Chen's family must be wealthy, but she couldn't quite remember.
Take it.
Chen Ce, who stood beside his wife, suddenly spoke. He didn't speak often, but Jiang Wan could tell that Chen Jia's every decision was made by him.
As expected, the moment Chen Ce spoke, Mrs. Chen didn't refuse again. Instead, she turned to Chen Wenhao and said:
"Wenhao, remember that your aunt has always been good to you."
"I remember, Mama."
Chen Wenhao's good behavior was unlike anything they had ever seen, making Jiang Wan's heart melt. Such a young child being exiled with them was truly pitiful.
But she didn't have time to feel sorry for herself too much, because the sky was getting dark again and they were still in the mountains overnight.
For dinner, there was black flatbread. Ginger quietly tossed her portion into the space and then took out some roasted sweet potatoes from it. The whole family ate with gusto.
Although the Song family's two houses were very angry, they didn't dare to do anything at this moment. After all, they hadn't reached the point of being starving yet.
When night fell, everyone had gone to sleep. Only then did Jiang Wan quietly enter the space. The stocking-up mission wasn't finished yet, and the space was still dark as pitch.
But Ginger didn't mind. She casually brushed herself up, ate a tableful of hot dishes bought from the restaurant, and then satisfiedly left the space.
These days the weather has been hot, so everyone just leans against the big trees for a rest. Jiang Wan was like that too. She's a light sleeper and can hear even the slightest noise.
So, when her package was lightly tugged, Jiang Wan jolted awake, meeting Song Lao San's shocked eyes.
Jiang Wan almost reflexively slammed the man to the ground and beat him up. She was ruthless, and Lao San Song was beaten until he screamed.
"Ouch, that hurts! Stop it, stop it!"
"Ginger, you heartless poison woman, I'm your Uncle Three!"
"..."
A chorus of cries woke the sleeping crowd. Ginger, with a swift hand, silenced those who had been exiled, forbidding them from striking back.
But this time it was Song Lao San who ran into her, Jiang Wan wouldn't miss the chance to give her a good beating. She didn't believe in Jiang if she didn't.
With his hands and feet, Ginger beat Song Lao San all over, leaving him with no good flesh on his body. He wasn't as comfortable as Song Lao Er and Song Chen Shu.
When Ren Bang arrived with his officers, Jiang Wan kicked one of them away with her foot and apologetically said to Ren Bang:
"My Lord, I'm so sorry. As soon as I woke up, I saw him going through my things and thought he was a thief."
Following Ginger's finger, everyone discovered that her package was indeed spread open on the ground, revealing the oiled paper parcels inside. They were most likely snacks.
Ginger was incredibly fortunate that for the sake of camouflage, she had actually put something in the package. Otherwise, this thing would have really killed her.
From now on, even if I just want to eat something, I have to hide and be sneaky. It's really suffocating.
"My Lord, I... I don't have anything. I'm just Xiao Jie passing by!"
Song Laosan was furious. He saw that Jiang Wan and the others were eating and drinking, so he thought she must have hidden something, which is why he came to take some. Little did he know, Jiang Wan was ruthless.
"My husband!"
Finally, Song Sanniang, after a few seconds of sluggish reaction, ran over and hugged Song Lao San, who was lying helplessly on the ground.
Song Yang then ran into Ginger Wanying like a little firecracker, “Star of Calamity, it’s all your fault! You beat my father, so I’ll beat you!”
For the past two days, Song Sanyi had been suppressing Song Yang. He finally found an opportunity to act out.
Everyone thought that Ginger Roll would show mercy because he was a child, but Ginger Roll kicked the person away just as fiercely.
"Don't pinch me!"
"Yang'er!"
Mrs. Song, heartbroken, hugged her precious grandson and immediately reprimanded: "Jiang Wan, this is your brother."
How could you be so cruel Our Song family married such a shrew, we've truly been cursed for eight generations!
"It was you who stole things first, and now you have the nerve to slander Sister Jiang! You are sick!"
Xiao Deng was young and had a straightforward personality. Because ginger paste saved his life, he started to directly confront people.
Song Jiuchi also gritted his teeth and said, "This is the family's food supply, Third Uncle, you are really a good elder!"
Song Jiuli opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Deep down, she still believed her family were the same as they always were.
Perhaps they were just play fighting, and would soon make up. But everything around her now told her that there was no going back.
They were no longer the loving family they once were. Song Jiuli felt a chill in her heart, a bone-deep coldness.
Song Daniu then stood up, supporting herself with her frail body to shield the ginger from behind. "Mother-in-law, we haven't done anything wrong."
"It's pitch black in here, you can't see anything. Who knew the thief would be my own nephew I hit him, so what Don't waste everyone else's time resting."
Madam Song was speechless after being retorted by the eldest lady, while Third Miss Song was on the verge of madness.
"I had just barely recovered from being beaten half to death by ginger, and now my own husband has been beaten half to death. "No way, I can't let this slide after beating someone like this!"
Then, please trouble the magistrate to educate this thief.
Song Jiubian spoke softly, "Although we have been exiled, we are not criminals. But since Third Uncle has become a thief, then let the magistrate handle him as a thief."
Ren Bang: ...
Well done, you guys have made the arrangements crystal clear. Have you got him in your sights
But Song Jiubian's words actually frightened Song Lao San. Thinking of his second brother and nephew being whipped, he hurriedly said:
"No need, no need. I was just joking with my niece's wife. No need for the magistrate to get involved."
I'm really sorry for interrupting your rest. Please continue to rest.
Song Laosan pulled Song Sanniang unwillingly, and decided to swallow this dumb loss.
Even though Song Sanniang was unwilling, she could only swallow her anger. She cursed Jiang Wan in her heart.
Anyway, since he already beat the person up, Ren Bang was too lazy to care and directly went back to rest with his hands behind his back. No one dared to object.
Ginger's mood improved, and she no longer felt sleepy. She sat there with her eyes closed, meditating, and her consciousness entered the space, beginning to tidy things up.
I received so many things earlier that I didn't have time to sort them out properly. Ginger decided to take this opportunity to categorize everything.
Gold, silver, treasures, food and fruits, clothes and shoes were all sorted individually. Household items were piled together. It wasn't until morning that everything was finally organized.
Over these two days, having entered the territory of Minzhou, Jiang Wan clearly noticed that Song Ernu's demeanor was somewhat anxious, likely related to Song Jia Jiao.
As expected, that evening as they passed by several homesteads, Ren Bang led them to a place to rest.
But Jiang Wan discovered that Song Ernü was a bit agitated. She must be waiting for someone, probably Song Jiajiao.
Shen Qian walked over and whispered to comfort her, "Mother, don't worry, Jiaojiao will definitely not stand idly by after she receives the news."
"When we see her, let's have her prepare some ointment for her husband and father so they can recover quickly."
She mainly still remembered what her younger sister had given her.h a long queue.Besides these exiles, including officials and guests at the inns, everyone else was lining up to receive Master Wen's "charity meal".As soon as Ginger Wan entered the hall, she caught t...
