Chapter 730: All come to find relatives
Just when Jiang Lingxi and Shen Yunqing stayed in Xiyuan and waited for the officials to register for them, Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng also packed their luggage and followed their son by car to Maocheng, the city where their uncle settled.
After getting off the car, I looked at the less prosperous street scene outside, "I didn't expect that my uncle has been living in seclusion here all these years."
"Although this Maocheng is not prosperous," Jiang Runcheng waved to the taxi driver who was greeting them warmly, "but the air is fresh and the people are friendly. My uncle must have his reasons for choosing this place."
“Let’s go, let’s go to a hotel near the family compound where my uncle lives, settle down, have a meal and rest, and then go there early tomorrow morning.”
Now that everything is in place, Jiang Wenhui is no longer in a hurry.
They had been traveling all the way, and it was really hard for them to go directly to meet people with their messy hair and clothes that were wrinkled from riding in the car.
Just then the car called by Jiang Lingxu arrived, and a family of three got on the car with their luggage and specialties brought from the imperial capital.
Jiang Lingxi heard a sound of car horns when she received a call from Jiang Wenhui.
Followed by Jiang Wenhui's voice, "Xixi, we have arrived in Maocheng and are driving to your grandpa's house in the car. But it is a bit late today. We plan to go to see your grandpa early tomorrow morning."
“Well, you can spend more time with the little grandpa after you see them, and don’t be in a hurry to return to the imperial capital.”
She and Shen Yunqing have already determined that they will be under surveillance. Although Wei Ke did not say it explicitly before leaving in accordance with the regulations, he also hinted at it, but he didn't know if their family members would also receive this treatment.
If someone is not in the imperial capital, they should be out of reach.
"That's what I planned. We haven't seen each other for such a long time. I even brought a few extra clothes with me, just in time to save myself from being harassed by Jiang Wenjia and the others again when I go back."
Although the two people had completely different ideas, they strangely reached an agreement.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lingxi suddenly thought of something and looked up at Shen Yunqing who just came in from the outside. "By the way, if Wei Ke and the others also monitor our family, then the second uncle's side..."
Shen Yunqing handed it over with one hand and shook the phone with the other. "The call has come. His position is sensitive and he has connections with Wei Ke's system. He just talked to me on the phone."
Jiang Lingxi followed his hand and got up from the recliner, "What did you say?"
“I said I didn’t care about my body, and I was so bold that I even dared to participate in such a dangerous action.”
“So when I was answering the phone, you were being scolded outside.” Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but curl the corners of her eyes as she spoke.
She couldn't even see this man obediently obeying his instructions!
"Your Majesty also knows that he only cares about me. Don't worry, my second uncle is just an old fox and nothing will happen to him."
What’s more, he did even more daring things.
Compared to this matter, other things are simply incomparable!

Jiang Wenhui and Jiang Runcheng stayed in an ordinary hotel that Jiang Lingxu had found in a hurry when he came here to look for someone.
Although their family is no longer short of money and even has a certain amount of surplus, thanks to the hard times they lived in the past few years, their sense of diligence and frugality has finally remained.
Even Jiang Wenhui has a longer-term idea.
When the daughter and son-in-law suddenly got married, all the debts left by their family were wiped out.
Even if the daughter didn't say it, she could guess what kind of deal there was between her daughter and her son-in-law.
Although it can be seen that the two people truly love each other now, that large debt may become a hidden thorn in the future...
Hands of people are fickle. She has experienced ups and downs, and she realizes that she has already understood it.
She plans to pay back this debt, even if she can only pay back part of it.
But doing it would make her feel more at ease than doing nothing.
Jiang Runcheng wanted to stay in a more comfortable hotel, but seeing that his wife and son made the decision for him, he opened his mouth and said nothing.
They put down their luggage in the room and rested for a while. Seeing the sky getting dark outside the window, the three of them got up and went out to find a place to eat.
This small hotel doesn’t even have a restaurant.
“There is a noodle shop not far away. I ate there last time I came here. Their beef ramen is quite delicious and not expensive.”
The consumption level in small cities is much lower than that in imperial cities. Jiang Wenhui realized this when she took a taxi before. When I arrived at the noodle shop, I learned that a large bowl of noodles only cost ten yuan. It was indeed very cheap. The key was that the quantity was larger than what was sold in Imperial Capital.
She would never be able to finish a bowl, so she simply gave half of it to her son who has a big appetite.
While a family of three were sitting in a noodle shop facing the street eating noodles, they were opposite a Western restaurant that looked much more upscale.
Jiang Wenjia used a knife and fork to cut a piece of steak that had just been delivered.
He almost vomited after taking one bite, "What kind of meat is this? It's so unpalatable. I really don't know what's going on in this little place!"
She had to come all the way to find him, and the accommodation was not good and the food was not good. The most important thing was that she had not seen anyone yet, so she was really upset.
The waiter who hasn’t gone far: “…”
Don't like to be treated alone, as if they don't want guests like you in their restaurant.
After dinner, the family of three walked back to the hotel.
When crossing the intersection, Jiang Wenhui suddenly stopped and let out a light sigh.
"What's wrong?"
“The man who took a taxi on the roadside just now looks familiar.”
“Is it the little grandpa?”
“No, a woman.”
It’s just that people have already gotten into the car and the car is about to merge into the traffic flow.
Jiang Wenhui shook her head, "I'm probably dazzled. Let's go back!"
After resting one night in the hotel, the family of three had a simple breakfast and rushed to the family courtyard early the next morning with their things.
However, General Iron still holds the door!
“It’s been the New Year and you haven’t come back yet? Or is it just an unlucky coincidence that someone is out?”
Jiang Wenhui stared at the closed door for a few seconds, then turned to look next door. After a moment of hesitation, he knocked on the door next door.
Jiang Lingxu subconsciously took a step back.
The last time he came over to inquire about his little grandpa, he was stared out by the old lady who lived next door.
Fortunately, there was someone at home next door, and soon an old lady wearing glasses and holding a child opened the door for them.
"You are...Oh, why are you here again?"
Jiang Lingxu: "..." He explained a little aggrievedly, "I came here with my parents this time."
The old lady looked at him, then at the couple standing in front, and at the gifts that the three of them held in their hands. She realized that she might have really wronged this young man that time before, "Who are you?" "
“Hello, ma’am, I am Jiang Cisheng’s eldest niece, my name is Jiang Wenhui. These are my husband and son. This boy does look a bit fierce. I’m really sorry for surprising you before.”
"It's true that I misunderstood. I thought this kid..." The old lady smiled apologetically and opened the door. "It's true that the situation at Teacher Jiang's home is a bit special, and something bad happened before. So it concerns Teacher Jiang. Everyone’s defensiveness has become stronger.”

"You guys come in first. Teacher Jiang and his wife haven't come back yet. I guess it's only been the past two days. But why are you suddenly here to look for relatives? Yesterday afternoon, one came over and said he was Teacher Jiang’s niece.”
Jiang Wenhui paused as she prepared to sit down, "Besides us, is there anyone else here?"
“Yes, that woman is quite fashionable in her clothes and looks quite rich, but you don’t think she looks like it. I said that Teacher Jiang hasn’t come back yet, so the woman turned around and left.”
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Wenhui's face turned dark and she gritted her teeth, "Jiang Wenjia!" (End of this chapter)
