Ji Xiang said angrily, "I still want to ask who you are!"
"Me? Ask me!" the old woman immediately pointed at herself with her backhand.
Then the old woman just said, "I am the owner of this house!"
When Jixiang heard this, he felt a little strange, "You are the owner of this house? But isn't this where my cousin lives?"
Hearing Ji Xiang's words, the old woman suddenly looked Ji Xiang up and down. Then she looked at Ji Xiang with some uncertainty and said, "Is your cousin Mrs. Zhang?"
Ji Xiang nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Yes."
As soon as she heard that Jixiang was really a relative of Mrs. Zhang, the old woman immediately said, "It's fine if he is a relative of hers."
Then the old woman suddenly said, "That's it, your cousin already owes me one month's rent. If I hadn't felt sorry for her, I would have kicked her out. But even though I pity her for being a woman, she doesn't have to pay her rent." It’s easy, but I’m not a philanthropist. If she can’t come up with rent money in the next few days, then I won’t be able to rent this house.”
Although the mother-in-law didn't ask for money directly, Jixiang was not a fool. How could she not hear the hint in the woman's words? So Jixiang immediately said, "How much money does my cousin owe you? I'll give it to you. paid."
Hearing the auspicious words spoken so cheerfully, the originally stinking-faced old lady softened her expression a little. She only said, "The rent for this house is not much, only fifteen cents a month."
After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Jixiang had to admit that the rent was indeed not expensive, but such an old and dilapidated house was not much affordable.
Therefore, Jixiang only said, "Fifteen cents for this house is indeed not expensive, but how do I know that you are the owner of this house?"
When the old woman heard this, she immediately said, "You can come with me to take a look at our rental contract."
Ji Xiang immediately asked, "Is it far?"
The old woman just said, "It's not far, I live nearby."
After hearing what the old woman said, Jixiang thought that she might not come back for a while, so Jixiang just followed the old woman.
The old lady was happy to see Jixiang give her money. In addition, she was an old lady who liked to talk to people. Therefore, the old lady directly started a conversation with Jixiang on the way there and said, "Your cousin aunt is really good." This poor man is fighting a lawsuit for his brother and his sister-in-law alone in the yamen, and this man is also divorcing himself. This life is really difficult."
"Actually, if she is more cruel, she can leave her brother alone. After all, none of us in Yunzhou know that the people swallowed by the Yunzhou government will definitely be dead bodies if they want to spit them out again. Many prisoners have not yet waited for the process. In the end, they may be put in prison and tortured to death. If they don't want to be tortured, the people outside will have to keep throwing money in. Even if they throw money every day, they can only protect them from the government officials for a while. Bullying, if one day the confession is cut off, what awaits them is only worse revenge, so in fact, it is a kind of torture for both those who enter it and those who stay outside. "
"So if you don't have any connections, you should take the initiative to persuade your cousin aunt to treat your brother as dead, so that your life will be easier."
Knowing that the woman was telling the truth and had good intentions, Ji Xiang did not say a word.
However, because of these two people, one was her sister-in-law who was kind to her, and the other was Sister-in-law Zhang's brother, so she was still very worried about the safety of these two people.
It's just that she really has no better way to take care of this matter at the moment, so she can only do her best and help as much as she can.
The two walked all the way, and then the woman stopped in front of a similar dilapidated house nearby. As soon as she entered the dilapidated house, she immediately opened her drawer.
Then she took out the contract between herself and Madam Zhang from her drawer, and then took the initiative to hand the contract between Madam Zhang and Jixiang. After Jixiang confirmed the authenticity of the contract, she also took the initiative to hand over the contract for Madam Zhang. The one month's rent owed was given to the woman.
When the woman got the money, she was naturally filled with joy.
And after Jixiang and her were cleared, he also
Returned to Madam Zhang’s residence.
But he didn't expect that when he came back from the old woman's place, Madam Zhang would just return to the old house with great joy.
The two suddenly met each other.
Madam Zhang was a little surprised when she saw Jixiang. After all, Jixiang had said before that she would not go back this time. After all, Jixiang had already gone to Tanzhou.
So seeing auspiciousness in this Yunzhou, and seeing auspiciousness in her own residence, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that this seemed to be an incredible thing.
Ji Xiang was shocked because she hadn't seen Madam Zhang for a long time.
Madam Zhang is now thin and out of shape from all the hard work, and she is also much older.
And it was only about a month since we last saw each other. Looking at Mrs. Zhang like this, Ji Xiang couldn't believe his eyes.
Madam Zhang waited for a while before taking the initiative to say to Jixiang, "Jixiang, why are you back?"
Madam Zhang seems to have a thousand words, and Ji Xiang also has a thousand words. When the two met, they seemed to be unable to believe their eyes.
But even though there were thousands of words, everything between the two of them turned into silence at this time.
"I came back to see you." Ji Xiang whispered.
Hearing Ji Xiang's words, Mrs. Zhang was a little at a loss, but then she just smiled openly, "So you came to see me, but unfortunately I'm a bit shabby here, so don't laugh at me."
Hearing Madam Zhang's words, Ji Xiang immediately shook his head and said, "How could I laugh at you? It's because I'm sorry for you. It's my sister-in-law's fault that I've caused you to suffer."
Hearing Ji Xiang's words, Madam Zhang immediately waved her hands and said, "Jixiang, don't say that. It's because I didn't handle things well. Your sister-in-law was also implicated by me. You said what I did was not good, so why should I do it?" To bring my brother and your sister-in-law together, if not for that, the two of them wouldn't have to endure so much torture in that prison."
Jixiang seemed a little uncomfortable after hearing Madam Zhang's words.
"Oh, Mrs. Zhang, I've heard everything about you. I know this was not your intention. It was my parents who were so shameless! They were the fault of everything."
After hearing the auspicious words, Madam Zhang did not say a word, and the two of them sighed for a long time.
Then Mrs. Zhang opened the door and said to Jixiang, "Jixiang, please come in and sit down."
And after she finished speaking, before the two could rekindle their old friendship, Shen Fanghui, who had been following Madam Zhang, finally appeared.
She just pretended to say to Jixiang, "Jixiang, is Madam Zhang back?"
Hearing Shen Fanghui's inquiry, Ji Xiang's dim pupils brightened a little, and then she looked at Shen Fanghui happily and said, "I'm back, Madam Zhang is back."
After hearing Ji Xiang's words, Shen Fanghui couldn't help but look at Madam Zhang with a smile. Madam Zhang asked Ji Xiang doubtfully, "Who is Ji Xiang's distinguished guest?"
After hearing Madam Zhang's words, Ji Xiang immediately smiled and said, "This is the master I served before, Miss Lu."
After hearing Ji Xiang's words, Madam Zhang also had some general impressions. Although it was her first time to meet Shen Fanghui, it was not her first time to understand Shen Fanghui.
After all, Jixiang also mentioned this Miss Lu to him.
So Mrs. Zhang only showed a kind smile and said, "Hello, Miss Lu."
Hearing Madam Zhang call herself this, although Shen Fanghui had already given up the title, she did not correct it. She just smiled and said to Madam Zhang, "Madam Zhang, I heard Jixiang say that you are A very good man."
Hearing Shen Fanghui praise herself, Madam Zhang only smiled sheepishly and said, "Listen to that girl's nonsense. I'm not a good person. I just do things based on my heart."
Later, because of Shen Fanghui's arrival, the lady became even more respectful.
She knew that Shen Fanghui married into the Zhu family, but what she didn't know was that Shen Fanghui had already escaped from the marriage. After all, from the time Zhu Zanxun found out about Shen Fanghui's disappearance to now, Zhu Zanxun had not blatantly exposed the scandal. He was just himself A man secretly searches for Shen on the street
Fanghui.
So naturally no one else knew about this big scandal in the Zhu family.
Therefore, Lady Zhang couldn't help but set her sights on Shen Fanghui. She knelt down in front of Shen Fanghui almost not long after Shen Fanghui came in.
"Miss Lu, I know you are also a compassionate person. I want to ask you to save my brother and sister-in-law. They were sent to prison. I can only keep them safe for three to five days by selling my property. But now I am almost at the end of my rope. I am afraid that they will suffer all kinds of inhuman torture every day in the future. Especially my sister-in-law who has only given birth not long ago. I am afraid that they will die in prison. Miss Lu, I I know that you are the eldest mistress of the Zhu family. I know that as long as you say a word, my brother and sister-in-law can be released. I beg you to give them justice! I don’t want anything else, I only ask for justice. That’s all, Miss Lu, my request is not too much, right?”
After hearing Madam Zhang's words, Jixiang immediately shook his head. After all, they might not be able to help with this now, so Jixiang only took the initiative and said, "It's not too much, but I'm afraid our wife doesn't have such great ability, but I am here." There is still some money, you can use it to pay for your safety today."
After hearing Ji Xiang's words, Mrs. Zhang obviously still didn't give up, or she was at the end of her rope. How long could this little money to keep her safe help her?
So she immediately said, "Jixiang, don't say that. I know the madam can definitely help me. I don't ask the young madam to save my brother and sister-in-law. I'm begging you, okay?" I just want my brother and sister-in-law's unjust cases to be brought to trial as soon as possible. Otherwise, if they wait one more day, they will be in more danger. And I can't afford the peace money."
