Chapter 56 -56: Become a Lobbyist

Ho Laidi did indeed stop, but the fierceness in her eyes was somewhat terrifying.

Sitting next to the dining table, Song Xiyun couldn’t help but pinch her man hard.

Chiang Baoguo was the eldest son of the Chiang family, thirty-two this year, standing around one meter seventy-five, with an average build. The Chiangs were a good-looking bunch, and Baoguo was no exception. Back in the day, in Siyang Village, the Chiang lads were quite popular with the girls.

That’s why after Chiang Baohe went blind in one eye, the contrast became so stark, turning more and more gloomy, his appearance increasingly distorted. It is indeed true that personality affects one’s outward appearance.

“His father, that Liu Caiyun, the wretched widow, is up to no good. She’s set her heart on entering our Old Chiang Family, not even considering if she’s worthy!” Ho Laidi smacked her thigh.

“Who said we’re letting her into our family?” Chiang Songtao said with a stern face.

“Isn’t she using her tactics now? She failed to cling to our eldest back in the day, and now she’s still not giving up, trying to hook our second!”

“Mom!” Chiang Baoguo called out sheepishly.

Chiang Baoguo had been to town these past couple of days, saying he was meeting a few friends. He had just gotten home when lunch was ready. He had just washed his hands and sat down when he unwittingly got scorched by this blaze.

Song Xiyun pinched him until his waist was almost bruised.

Yet, ever since that incident happened, he felt he couldn’t lift his head in front of Song Xiyun. He’d been thoroughly dominated by her over the years, and there were even people in the village who said he was henpecked.

At the end of the day, he was also afraid that Song Xiyun would recklessly reveal that event from the past.

Ho Laidi glanced at him and finally stopped talking.

Chiang Songtao sighed and said, “Let’s eat first. I’ve already asked Songhai to come over after lunch. We’ll have his uncle talk to Liu Caiyun about the matter with our second.”

“Can his uncle handle it?” Ho Laidi’s gaze flickered.

“He can.”

With that, Ho Laidi fell silent. Back when the eldest had that issue, wasn’t it Chiang Songhai who intervened? Since Liu Caiyun listened to him then, she should listen to him this time as well.

Chiang Xiao hesitated at the foot of Bai Gu Mountain for a long time before finally gritting her teeth and deciding to explore the mountain.

Bai Gu Mountain was rich in resources, and since no one had dared to go up for many years, there might be a treasure trove waiting for her.

If she was to change her fate in this life and not be bullied, how could she give up because of danger?

Of course, she couldn’t just rush up the mountain foolishly; she needed to prepare properly. And with not enough time left today, she had to get up early to go up the mountain.

Having made her decision, Chiang Xiao decided to go home first and plant the herbs she had dug up today.

Ge Liutao relaxed as she saw her come in, lowering the door she had been holding up.

But Chiang Xiao noticed that her grandfather was sitting on the old armchair directly opposite the door with a worried expression.

After speaking a few words with her, her grandmother also seemed rather uneasy, prompting her to ask, “Grandpa, what did great-uncle say to you?”

Before she left, everything had been fine, but as soon as she returned, Chiang Songhai looked like this, so Chiang Songtao must have said something.

Previously, Chiang Xiao never concerned herself with family affairs, but now that she began to care about every little thing, Chiang Songhai was somewhat pleased. It’s just that what his elder brother said at noon seemed inappropriate to tell a young girl.

However, Ge Liutao could hardly restrain herself.

Having another person to discuss it with might be a good thing; otherwise, she would burst with frustration.

“Little, did your second uncle really go home with Caiyun?”

As soon as Ge Liutao asked this, Chiang Xiao knew the matter must involve Chiang Baohe. Her expression darkened instantly.

“What did great-uncle ask you to do?” she asked, looking at her grandfather.

Seeing her serious face and taut expression, Chiang Songhai inadvertently blurted out.

“Nothing much, just to persuade Liu Caiyun not to associate with your second uncle.”
