I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 215 - 212: Mr. Jiang’s Courtyard

The yard has a separate kitchen, Jiang Kangsheng rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen to wash vegetables and cook, but Jiang Mingyue noticed there were two stoves inside, one for steaming rice and the other for stir-frying. Seeing the half bowl of pork lard next to them, Jiang Mingyue guessed he often cooked by himself.

"Why did you follow me here? The kitchen is smoky. Go, make some tea, eat some snacks. A few days ago, your Brother Lin sent some melon seeds and the like, which I don’t like, so you can get rid of them."

Jiang Mingyue decisively left, watching the shadow move farther away, Jiang Kangsheng felt a mix of emotions. He clearly wanted her to stay and talk with him, a deep melancholy!

As he was sighing, the shadow returned, Jiang Kangsheng snapped back, staring dumbfoundedly at his daughter.

It turns out she was just carrying the basket under the eaves into the kitchen!

Couldn’t help but complain, "You can’t call me for such a heavy thing? A slender young girl, aren’t you afraid of straining your back?"

Jiang Mingyue didn’t respond: the father’s affectionate nagging, let him be.

Then Jiang Kangsheng watched as his girl fished out a bunch of things from under the cover cloth, he didn’t work either, circling around to watch.

A braised chicken, a braised rabbit, four air-dried chickens and rabbits, a bottle of wild honey, a jar of corn wine, and a bag of flour. Not much at all.

Jiang Kangsheng gasped.

"Did you empty out the house? Then what will they eat?"

They, of course, refers to Mrs. Jiang’s family.

Indeed, the father’s nature, just like Uncle Ma.

Jiang Mingyue patiently explained again.

Qingshan Village is a well-known impoverished village under the county committee jurisdiction, always under attention, naturally, they all know about the changes in recent months.

For example, the leadership reshuffles, or the new leader leading everyone to build a collective brick and tile factory, lime kiln, or the village secretary who recently led people to dig five wells in the village.

But Jiang Kangsheng didn’t expect that the village secretary would be Little Mingyue’s older brother.

How shall I say? It’s quite complicated.

Because he really couldn’t associate them, he therefore didn’t believe this Jiang Jian Country was that Jiang Jian Country, after all, this name is everywhere.

"Turns out it’s your elder brother, that’s great! They seem to treat you well."

"Hmm, very good! So Dad doesn’t have to regret and blame himself."

Jiang Kangsheng had mixed feelings for a while.

Because of the braised food, Jiang Kangsheng didn’t wish to cook anything complicated, just stir-fried some peanuts, pan-fried a few eggs, and made some squash soup.

Father and daughter had plenty to eat, only just as the food was on the table, there was a noise at the courtyard door.

Jiang Kangsheng heard someone knocking, his brows unconsciously knitted.

A good father-daughter reunion, not sure which unkempt visitor it might be.

But when the door was opened, even if he felt annoyed, he couldn’t show a sour face, after all, the old buddy’s status was higher than his, and moreover, he had been tirelessly helping him in finding his son.

"Oh! What’s up with you? Look like you’ve been interrupted from something good, you must have a new lover, right? I’m reminding you, you haven’t finished the divorce process with Xu Ya!"

Jiang Kangsheng had a dark face: What does that have to do with anything?

"Shut up! It’s Yueyue here."

Zhu Hongwen was astonished, then immediately pushed the blocking Jiang Kangsheng aside, taking the lead and rushing in.

Jiang Kangsheng: "..."

"Yueyue! Long time no see, you’ve become even more lively. Not bad, not bad! Looks like the rural Old Jiang Family took good care of you."

Seeing this old acquaintance, Jiang Mingyue politely greeted.

"Hello, Uncle Zhu!"

"Good, good!" Looking at the set table, Zhu Hongwen was even happier.

"Seems I came at the right time. Yueyue, go fetch me a set of bowls and chopsticks, also bring two plates, I brought two dishes."

"Ah! Forget it, take this oiled paper package to the kitchen, plate it and bring it back."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kangsheng realized this person was ordering his daughter around, he showed even more displeasure.

"Yueyue, don’t listen to him, I’ll handle it."

Jiang Mingyue, who originally felt indifferent, watched as Jiang Kangsheng left with a stern face carrying the lunchbox.

In this collision, only Zhu Hongwen remained unaffected.

Gesturing for her to sit down.

"Come, come, Yueyue, let me tell you, if you come to the city, visit your dad often."

Coincidentally, he knew Zhuang Yunshan, naturally aware that Yueyue wasn’t unable to enter the city, just not visiting them face-to-face several times.

"Your dad was injured and sick some time ago, lying in bed with a fever and fainting and nobody cared."

Jiang Mingyue was shocked: "Why was he injured?"

Zhu Hongwen didn’t hide, telling the whole story.

It turns out Jiang Kangsheng had Lin Tian investigate Xu Ya, and indeed found clear evidence.

First, Xu Ya cheated with her family’s person, although Xu Yong was a collateral adopted son, he still carried the surname Xu.

Then discovering Jiang Zhenzhu’s background, she was Xu Ya and Xu Yong’s illegitimate child.

The last one was about Jiang Cheng, three-year-old Xiao Jiang Cheng didn’t go missing by himself, it was Xu Ya and Xu Yong’s plan, these two entangled before Xu Yong married, Xiao Jiang Cheng was coaxed out and given away by them.

With all these incidents piling up, Jiang Kangsheng exploded.

Directly taking evidence and witnesses to confront Grandpa Xu, Grandpa Xu was so furious he fainted on the spot.

The divorce was postponed, because Jiang Kangsheng was once Grandpa Xu’s student and received his kindness, out of kinship and rationale, he had to save face for his father-in-law, but the divorce definitely had to happen.

However, Xu Ya didn’t agree! Ever since Jiang Kangsheng moved out, she kept causing trouble, even filed several complaints.

Fortunately, everything was suppressed by Zhu Hongwen, otherwise, being investigated multiple times would have ended his career.

Reporting didn’t work, Xu Ya squatted at the county committee, luckily Uncle Ma had skills, intercepted her several times.

But Xu Ya was patient, once taking leave to squat, waited all day and finally met Jiang Kangsheng, sneaking behind to this small courtyard, after a dispute, grabbing a fire stick she attacked Jiang Kangsheng, who was wounded all over, hospitalized for three days before returning, but his health seemed not too good, even a mild breeze could give him a cold and fever.

Honestly, Jiang Mingyue was heart-aching hearing this.

When did victims have to forbear and accommodate?

Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt necessary to meet Xu Ya, and also necessary to meet Grandpa Xu.

Only she didn’t expect her wish would soon come true.

The three finished a meal, of course, Zhu Hongwen also helped himself to some good wine, feeling very pleased!

Just when putting down the chopsticks, the previously unlocked door was suddenly opened forcefully.

Unexpected people rushed in.

At this moment, Jiang Mingyue was under the eaves gazing at the starry sky, mentally wishing Yan Jinzhi were there, so she could tease him into watching stars on the rooftop.

When Xu Ya brought people and barged in, she too was astonished, four eyes met, speechless.

The air fell into an infinitely awkward silence.

Until someone behind Xu Ya spoke with a laugh. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"So it’s Ming Yue, heard we were born at the same time, not sure who was born first, so we don’t need to call each other sister and brother, just by names, okay?"

Jiang Mingyue didn’t bother to respond.

Jiang Zhenzhu still smiling, but her nails were digging into the flesh.

"Ming Yue, do you often visit Dad? How come you don’t go see our mom? After all, she cared for you for eighteen years. Yes, Mom doesn’t have Dad’s high salary, but..."

This ’but’ was certainly intriguing!
