Chapter 82

Zheng Zhongren said vaguely: "She and her husband filed a complaint in court, saying that her husband and her parents-in-law stole her dowry."

"The Wu family insists that since they have reconciled, then naturally it is not considered stealing the dowry, but stealing their family's property."

"The county government can only treat it as the crime of theft."

"Many people say that this woman has a vicious heart." Zheng Zhongren sighed.

Jiang Mingshun asked curiously: "So, did anything happen to the man's house?"

Zheng Zhongren looked around and lowered his voice: "I heard from their servants that I don't know if the dowry was stolen, but the man did cheat Madam Wu's money with his parents to support his wife."

"I heard that when the two of them got married, the son they had from their outer room was already several years old!"

Okay, Jiang Jinyu complained while eating melon, these servants are so courageous, even this kind of thing has been spread throughout the county.

Jiang Mingshun didn't care about this. Although Mrs. Wu's actions did not meet the current people's requirements for women to be virtuous and virtuous, after all, there was a reason for everything. After all, it was Mrs. Wu's previous husband's family who was at fault.

"In that case, please tell me the location of Madam Wu's nurturing school. I'll go over and take a look first."

Zheng Zhongren looked at Jiang Mingshun in surprise. Seeing that he really wanted to go, he said, "Well, it just so happens that I don't have much to do today, so let's go with you."

It's not that he has bad intentions, he still has to participate in such unprofitable things.

Not to mention the money earned from the first yard sale, Zheng Zhongren made a lot of money from the last time the Tongqu family changed yards.

Seeing that there was still business to be done in the future, he naturally had to make preparations in advance, and it was just a good opportunity to get in touch with his brother Jiang.

This is why Zheng Zhongren took so much trouble to help find out about the girls' school in the county.

The ancestral home of the Wu family is not far away, just in Chuanfang Lane near the pier.

Zheng Zhongren led the way and turned around to explain: "The ancestors of the Wu family were not rich at first. They used to make a living by punting boats on the river."

"There was no wharf at that time, and Chuanfang Lane was still called Wujiacun."

"Later on, the wharf was built, and the people in Wujia Village became rich thanks to the wharf. Only then could Wu Jinshi's grandfather have the money to support him in taking the imperial examination."

"I didn't expect that after going around in circles, I would come back again." Zheng Zhongren sighed.

While they were talking, several people stopped in front of a slightly dilapidated house.

Jiang Mingshun frowned imperceptibly, remembering the news he heard when he was helping at the dock.

It is said that it is a rule in the city that when you study in a school, you not only have to be a teacher, but you also have to help your husband with menial tasks, such as fetching water, cutting firewood, and cleaning the yard. You have to be able to do everything.

At that time, he just sighed with others about the difficulty of studying, and soon forgot about it.

But now, Jiang Mingshun looked at the door with some rotten door panels. Does his daughter also have to do those jobs?
After all, it's not like this family can afford a rough servant to do chores.

"Here we come!" A hoarse middle-aged male voice came from the room.

Immediately afterwards came the sound of slightly hasty footsteps approaching from far away, and finally stopped at the door.

"Who are they?" It was Wu Juren who opened the door.

Jiang Jinyu raised his head and glanced at him. He was thin, with two traces of blue and black under his eyes, and the shadow of bags under his eyes could be vaguely seen. His face was unshaven, and his whole person revealed a lingering tiredness. .

He doesn't look like a distinguished master.Zheng Zhongren was also stunned and took two steps back unconsciously, wondering if he had found the wrong door.

"Are you Wu Juren?" He asked hesitantly after confirming the house number.

"Exactly." Wu Juren raised his hand and touched his messy beard and smiled bitterly.

After confirming the identity of the other party and not caring about why he looked like this, Zheng Zhongren happily saluted him: "Master Wu, we are here to study."

"This brother of mine..." Zheng Zhongren said this about the purpose of the three people's visit.

When Wu Juren heard that someone came to study, his eyes lit up, but then he was a little disappointed when he heard that he was looking for a female student for a girl at home.

Pursing the corner of his mouth that was about to raise, Wu Juren said in a deep voice, "My sister is the one who is worried about the girls' school."

"If you really want to understand, why not come in and talk to my sister directly."

Although Wu Juren was disappointed that the students did not come to him, he thought that if his sister's school for girls could start up, the family would be able to make some money. After this period of time, things would eventually get better.

Jiang Mingshun thought for a moment, and finally decided to talk to Mrs. Wu in person.

After all, as the old saying goes, what comes comes comes.

Wu Juren led the three of them directly into the main room. Although they were living in a bare house, he poured them a cup of tea quite comfortably: "The house is simple and the hospitality is not good. I hope you won't blame me."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Jinyu and said slightly apologetically: "I don't have any snacks to entertain our little guests."

Jiang Mingshun waved his hand quickly: "No, no, that's a great treat.

Wu Juren nodded and raised his voice to call his sister over.

Mrs. Wu was taking care of her parents in the main room. She had heard her brother talking to someone outside. Now when she heard him calling her over, she immediately got up and spoke to her parents. She suppressed the joy in her heart and entered the main room with a calm face.

Madam Wu first bowed to her brother, and then greeted Zheng Zhong and Jiang Mingshun. Her movements were smooth and flowing. Although she was squatting down to salute, she did not show any humility or cowardice. She only felt pleasing to the eye and extremely elegant.

It was the first time for Zheng and Jiang to see such a woman. They quickly stood up and returned the greeting, which looked quite funny.

Jiang Jinyu stood up, imitated Madam Wu's movements and squatted down slightly, then peeked at Madam Wu.

For a moment, I became somewhat interested. Mrs. Wu was indeed someone who could bring her ex-husband and his family to court.

Although he acted as if he could be the most dignified person, his smile was unabashed and quite hearty and generous.

Several people looked at each other in silence for a moment, but Mrs. Wu spoke first.

She looked at Jiang Jinyu, who was still glancing at her secretly, and said warmly: "Little girl, do you want to go to a girls' school?"

"Yes, uh, no," Jiang Jinyu was dazzled by the smile. He subconsciously followed her words and responded immediately. He scratched his head and said, "It's my father who wants me to go to a girls' school."

Madam Wu raised her eyebrows, not missing the meaning of Jiang Jinyu's words, so the little girl didn't want to have sex?
Jiang Jinyu was waiting for her to ask her if she wanted to have sex, and then she told her that she didn't want to.

Isn't it like this in TV, novels, and short videos in previous lives? Not only do students choose schools, but schools also choose students. If a child is very resistant, the kindergarten probably won't accept it, right?

Jiang Jinyu thought uncertainly, hoping that the TV had not lied to her.

It's a pity that if Mrs. Wu was a person who followed the routine, she wouldn't be here at this moment.
