Chapter Twenty: One Ginger, Safe and Sound

sion, the first thing that appeared was a small bell hanging from a blue rope.It was strange. He heard the sound of the bell, yet he clearly felt that the little bell wasn't ringing. The sound seemed...Taking a glance at the tea on the table that hadn't been touched much, Jiang Wang greeted, "Auntie, have you had your meal I'll go to the restaurant and order a table later."

"Wow, I'm going to book it!" Du Yejia exclaimed with relief. "I know all the taverns in Fenglin City!"

Lady Song sat down and waved her hand, "No need to rush. This time I came here because I have something to find you."

Looking at Jiang An'an who was secretly observing him, Jiang Wang returned a gentle smile and said, "What is it you need to say"

Auntie Song patted Jiang An'an's little head: "Why don't you go for a walk with these two big brothers See where your brother practices his cultivation."

Du Yecho immediately opened his arms to Xiao An'an, his big face smiling like a chrysanthemum in full bloom. “Come on, Big Brother Tiger will take you to buy some delicious food!”

Ling He also said knowingly, "You can rest assured, we and Jiang Wang are sworn brothers, we will definitely take good care of An An."

Little An'an was very well-behaved. Although timid and shy, when Song's aunt spoke, she still timidly—took a few steps towards Ling He.

Looking at them, Ling He with his handsome features and gentle smile seems much more trustworthy than Du Ye Hu who has a full beard and an exaggeratedly scary laugh.

Ling He felt greatly comforted and led Jiang An'an out. As for Du Yecho, he glared fiercely at Jiang Wang before leaving, his eyes clearly saying — What does your sister mean

When everyone had been led away, Jiang Wang reined in his smile and looked at Song Shi, "Has Fengxi Town been peaceful lately How are things at the family shop"

"It's not a big deal, just..." Aunt Song was a little hesitant.

Jiang Wang patiently said, "If you have anything to say, just go ahead."

"Ever since your father passed away, the business at the shop has gone from bad to worse, and I'm afraid our lives are becoming increasingly difficult…" As she spoke, Song's concubine suddenly took out her handkerchief and began to wipe away her tears.

The only shop left in the family was a medicinal herb business. Though it wasn't large, it had been around for many years and had established channels. In the whole town of Fengxi, its reputation was excellent. When the family fell on hard times, they almost sold all their assets, but this medicinal herb shop remained. It was because of its longevity. With this shop in hand, they wouldn't become rich or famous, but they definitely wouldn't struggle to survive.

What kind of person could manage to run a traditional Chinese medicine shop from prosperous to declining in just a few years

Jiang Wang was not a fool. His father had taken the time to teach him about business when he was alive, hoping that if his cultivation failed, he would still be able to return to a stable life.

He knew there was something wrong, but Jiang Wang merely said, "Is there anything I can do to help, Auntie"

He thought to himself, if he wanted some gold and silver, he could definitely scrape some together. After all, Jiang An'an was his only sister. Even if it was just for Jiang An'an's sake, he hoped they could live a little better.

"I know Xiaowang is always hardworking, and he'll definitely have a bright future. But Auntie..." Song Auntie wiped away her tears, "Auntie's just a woman who knows nothing. She can't hold on any longer..."

She looked at Jiang Wang with tear-filled eyes: "Can you take care of An An after me"

The last glimmer of warmth in Jiang Wang's eyes vanished.

He never would have imagined that this woman wouldn't even want her own biological daughter.

Jiang Wang nodded slowly and said, "It seems that your aunt has agreed to a good marriage"

Song Yiniang lowered her eyes slightly. Only at this moment, in front of her late husband's eldest son, did she suddenly feel a trace of shame. It crawled out slowly from the deepest part of her heart.

"Marriage, childbirth, sickness, and death are all natural parts of life." Jiang Wang had always been a man of few words. "So does An An know that she will live with me afterward"

"She doesn't know yet. Your aunt thought about it and wanted to hear your opinion first. As you know, she's always been timid and afraid of strangers. Even if I brought her, she wouldn't have a good time..." Although Aunt Song was explaining, her voice grew softer and lower.

"I got it." Jiang Wang interrupted her, "Did I say that to her, or did you"

>

"You tell her..." Song's concubine said, "I... must be going now, my carriage is waiting for me outside the city."

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, “Well then. I won’t see you off.”

Please note that "

They had all walked far away, but Du Yehu still leaned against the door and watched. "Little An'an is so adorable! Hey Lao Ling, how come I don't have a little sister"

"Lao Ling" Du Yecho turned his head, and Ling He was already sitting up in his own bed.

A sister with a full beard, how terrifying that would be. Ling He thought.

“Just like the Third Brother, he's a cultivation fanatic!” Du Yecho muttered, walked to the window, picked up the tea that Jiang Wang had poured earlier, and gulped it down in one go.

"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!" Du Yexi spat out a few times, "How can this tea be so bitter"

"You're going to die!" Ling He said angrily.
