Jiang Rong snorted. Ah Hu looked like just a handyman; he wasn’t afraid of him, but he dared not step into the counter now.
Yun Jiao finished writing the prescription and said to Shen Qing, "Go to the back and tell Granny Tian to let San Ya’s mother know that Jiang Family Second Uncle is here."
Shen Qing ran to the back.
Yun Jiao didn’t plan to pay any attention to Jiang Rong. Truth be told, since she had separated from the family registry, she had nothing to do with the Jiang Family anymore.
At this mont, seeing the patient get up to go to the counter to get dicine, Jiang Rong swaggered over with a smile, "Wife of Da Lang, if it wasn’t for your mother telling us, we wouldn’t have known, you’ve really hit it big now."
Yun Jiao knew that Mrs. Chen wouldn’t let her have an easy ti.
She replied coolly, "Hitting it big is an exaggeration; it’s just that we have enough to live on."
Jiang Rong rubbed his hands excitedly, "I made the right move coming here; Xiang City is fantastic and bustling."
Then he swung his hand forcefully, as if making so decision, "In a couple of days, I’ll send a ssage to have Wulang co over too."
"Going forward, Wulang and I will both stay here at this shop."
He made a face at Yun Jiao with a grin, "You see, you don’t have anyone dedicated to handling the money here, I can help with that, and you can trust your own family."
Yun Jiao was too lazy to bother with him, letting him prattle on.
Just then, Mrs. Chen hurried out from the inside.
This was indeed her husband’s younger brother, her children’s uncle; at this mont, only she was suitable to step forward.
However, she didn’t want to bring Jiang Rong into the back courtyard, forcing a rather awkward smile, "Second Uncle, why have you co from so far away?"
Jiang Rong finally addressed her, "Sister-in-law, since your family has struck it rich, naturally I’ve co to seek refuge with you."
Mrs. Chen bore her impatience and said, "Struck it rich, how? This pharmacy was opened by Yun Jiao."
"She just pitied us mother and sons, so she fed us a al."
"Surely, you don’t expect Yun Jiao to support you too?"
Jiang Rong saw that Mrs. Chen’s expression and tone were unfriendly, so he dropped his facade, "Why not? I’m Da Lang’s uncle, isn’t it right for her to support ?"
Mrs. Chen retorted in disgust, "I don’t know how you can even say such things. I’ve heard of children supporting their parents, but never of supporting uncles."
She frowned, decisively said, "I advise you to hurry back to the countryside; there’s no place for you to stay here."
She thought for a mont and decided to add another line to prevent Jiang Rong from rambling, "Besides, she has long not been part of the Jiang Family; she’s about to be married now."
Jiang Rong glared, "How can she get married?"
Mrs. Chen fud, "Why not? The court is now encouraging widows to remarry, do you dare to defy the court?"
Jiang Rong stuck his neck out, "Even if she marries, I’m still her uncle!"
Mrs. Chen was irked by this and just then, Liu Lang and Gu Chuan returned from school outside.
Jiang Rong considered himself closest to Liu Lang, as they were direct uncle and nephew. He strode over and grabbed Liu Lang, laughing, "Boy, your Second Uncle is here to see you, aren’t you happy?"
Liu Lang struggled hard, "Let go of , go away, I hate you!"
He had not forgotten how, before Brother Sanlang started school, how this family bullied them when he was little.
Jiang Rong clamped down hard on Liu Lang’s shoulder, "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? I am your real uncle!"
Liu Lang couldn’t break free, suddenly grabbed Jiang Rong’s wrist in a reverse grip, perford a sorsault using Jiang Rong’s wrist as leverage, and took the opportunity to break free.
All those lessons with Lin Shuo finally ca in handy today.
