Chapter 13

Came back specially to visit?

Jiang Ci looked at Gu Jinghuai with some suspicion. Why didn’t she believe it?

If he had come to his senses earlier, the original owner might not have died, and the child would not have been sold by Li Chunhua.

No matter how you look at it, Gu Jinghuai is a straight man with a slow mind.

Besides, it had only been a short time since I sent the letter. According to the speed of letter delivery in that era, it would take at least half a month to arrive. How come he came back? Could it be that the plot has changed?

Jiang Ci asked tentatively: “Are you back here to do something?”

Gu Jinghuai’s eyes darkened imperceptibly, and the original owner’s memories of his wife emerged bit by bit. The woman in front of him seemed to be different from the wife in the original owner’s memory. The original owner’s wife spoke gently and shyly, and was very shy, blushing when she spoke.

Not only did the person in front of him not blush, but there was a hint of playfulness in his eyes, and his tone was even a little tentative.

Looking at the familiar face in front of me and the familiar micro-expressions, a bold idea came to my mind. Since I was a time traveler, the woman in front of me was also likely to be a time traveler.

Moreover, the woman in front of him looks exactly like his brother’s girlfriend, and even has the same name, Jiang Ci, so the probability of the characters overlapping is very high.

He originally came here to divorce the original owner’s wife. If the person in front of him was really his brother’s girlfriend, he couldn’t just mention the divorce casually. If this woman discovered my identity and reported me, I would be arrested as an enemy spy and spend the rest of my life in jail.

Ye Xuwen was struggling with his conscience, but Jiang Ci could not see through his contradiction at all. After waiting for a long time without him speaking, Jiang Ci just thought he was a talkative person. Besides, Jiang Yaozu was still a light bulb, so it was not convenient to talk about divorce. So she said, “Tiantian should take a nap. I’ll take her to bed now.” After that, she carried the child back to the room.

Ye Xiuwen and Jiang Yaozu were the only ones left in the living room. Jiang Yaozu admired Gu Jinghuai very much as a soldier. After Jiang Ci left, he hurried forward and asked, “Brother-in-law, are you still recruiting new members in your army? What do you think of me?”

Ye Xuwen glanced at Jiang Yaozu, a short, chubby boy. The original owner’s memory was patchy, and he couldn’t remember who this chubby boy was. He said, “No, your smile is too cunning, you don’t look like a good person.”

Jiang Yaozu stopped smiling immediately. He stood up straight with his legs, his arms pressed tightly against the sides of his trouser seams, his brows furrowed, his head held high and his chest puffed out, trying to make himself look upright. “Brother-in-law, how about this?”

Ye Xuwen glanced at it casually and commented: “It looks okay on the surface, but don’t lie.”

“I didn’t lie!” Jiang Yaozu immediately retorted.

“How come your nose got longer when you didn’t lie? Haven’t you heard that when a child lies, his nose will get longer.” Ye Xuwen teased him deliberately.

Jiang Yaozu subconsciously touched his nose.

Ye Xuwen looked at him sternly and said, “You still say you didn’t lie. People like you should be dragged out and shot!”

Jiang Yaozu was frightened by his appearance and quickly said, “Brother-in-law, don’t chase me away, don’t chase me away. To be honest, I didn’t have a labor holiday at school today, but there is a reason for this. My two sisters had a fight and my eldest sister blocked the door. I couldn’t go out, and if I couldn’t go out, I couldn’t go to school.”

Jiang Ci also hits people?

Ye Xuwen is now completely certain that his wife is his younger brother’s girlfriend, so it seems that divorce is out of the question.

Ye Xiuwen asked: “Why are they fighting?”

“This…” Jiang Yaozu hesitated and didn’t dare to say it.

Ye Xuwen said coldly: “It seems that you don’t want to join the army.”

“Think about it. I definitely want to.” Jiang Yaozu rolled his eyes and told Gu Jinghuai everything he knew.

Ye Xuwen frowned slightly, “You mean your eldest sister hired someone to defile your second sister, so your second sister beat her.”

Jiang Yaozu nodded, “Yes, that’s right. Brother-in-law, let me tell you, it’s not just my eldest sister who bullied my second sister, but also my mother. My mother took all the salary you sent, and my aunt often brought her daughter to my house for free meals.” In order to join the army, Jiang Yaozu told Gu Jinghuai everything he knew, and said proudly, “Brother-in-law, I didn’t lie this time. It’s all true.”

“Bad things are done by others, not you?” Ye Xuwen’s voice became stern.

Jiang Yaozu quickly waved his hands, “Except for the time when my mom spent your salary to buy pig’s trotters and I ate a lot of them, I haven’t done anything else bad.”

“Then when others were trying to harm your second sister, you didn’t help them and instead aided and abetted them. You are not a good person either.”

“Brother-in-law, heaven and earth can testify that I have to go to school, so I can’t help my second sister.” Jiang Yaozu quickly raised his hand, “I swear, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a good person in the future, look…” He pointed to the balcony, “Brother-in-law, look, I’ve been washing Tiantian’s diapers recently, and I’ve also been doing work, such as washing dishes and mopping the floor.” Although he had only been doing it for two or three days.

Ye Xuwen glanced at the balcony and asked, “Is it clean?”

Jiang Yaozu nodded rapidly, “It’s clean. I wash it several times every time.” His eyes were full of anticipation, waiting for praise.

Ye Xuwen hummed meaningfully and said, “Let’s go to school now.” After sending the little fat boy away, he had something to talk to Jiang Ci about.

“Go to school?” Jiang Yaozu’s brain almost didn’t react. He said “oh” and quickly found his schoolbag. Before leaving, he didn’t forget to ask, “Brother-in-law, if I go to school, can I join the army?”

Ye Xiuwen said: “The army does not want illiterate people.”

Hey, what my brother-in-law said is very likely to happen. Jiang Yaozu encouraged himself and went to school happily.

The conversation between the two people was heard clearly by Jiang Ci in the bedroom. She was now very sure that the current Gu Jinghuai was Ye Xuwen. After all, few people knew the story of Pinocchio in this era.

This is a bit embarrassing. It could be anyone else, but Ye Xuwen.

Jiang Ci suspected that this scheming and inhumane man would report her. As for how to deal with this relationship, Jiang Ci decided to talk to Ye Xuwen.

Tiantian had fallen asleep. She covered herself with the quilt, got up and went to the living room.

Ye Xiuwen was sitting upright on a chair drinking water. When he saw Jiang Ci coming out, he asked, “Is the child asleep?”

Jiang Ci looked into the other person’s eyes and said straight to the point: “You are Ye Xuwen, right?”

Ye Xuwen did not hide it. He pulled out a chair for Jiang Ci to sit down, and nodded again, “Did you figure it out?”
