Jiang Xia smiled at Jiang Gu’s innocent words. She bent down to look at Jiang Gu and said, “There are many ways to show you’re angry. Fighting isn’t good, it uses a lot of energy and can hurt you. People often forget their pain once their wounds are better.”

Jiang Gu looked confused.

“To win, we must find what someone fears losing most. What do you think our grandma fears losing the most?”

Both Jiang Xias didn’t know what Old Madam Jiang cared about most.

In her memory, Old Madam Jiang only cared about herself. As long as she had good food and clothes, she didn’t care about others.

Suddenly, Jiang Gu said, “I know!” She then whispered to Jiang Xia, “I saw grandma holding a small cloth bag once, and she was secretly discussing with grandpa about hiding it somewhere where no one could find it. It might have money inside it. I haven’t seen grandpa and grandma care about anything else as much as that.”

Money? If it’s really money, why hide it? Anyway, the money is to be spent.

Besides, if it was money, wouldn’t it be better to keep it close to them? Why even mention about hiding it secretly?

Jiang Xia was momentarily stumped by Old Madam Jiang’s intention, but since Jiang Gu mentioned it, she kept it in mind. If she had the opportunity to visit the Jiang family in the future, she could try to find out what it was.

Having said enough, Jiang Xia then took Jiang Gu and walked towards the river.

Since they saw Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Xia wanted to see if she could find out about the whereabouts of her eldest sister.

Before the two even got close, Old Madam Jiang, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, looked at them viciously, scaring Jiang Gu into taking a step back. Jiang Xia’s impression of Old Madam Jiang was still from the last time she and her eldest sister stole from their house. Little did she expect that after being denounced once, Old Madam Jiang’s resentment towards them had deepened.

“Grandma, long time no see. I’d like to ask on behalf of my parents, how has my eldest sister been doing recently?”

Old Madam Jiang had been hearing a lot of gossip in the village recently.

People in the village were either discussing how well the Jiang family was doing, or saying that the Jiang family had to sell their daughter because of her. They said that given their capabilities, they should have been able to find good marriages for their three children, without resorting to selling them.

But Old Madam Jiang didn’t believe it. She knew Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan very well. Could those two timid spouses go to the city to earn money? She thought they were probably begging

Indeed. Everyone said that the clothes Jiang Gu was wearing were given to them by the city people.

Thinking about this, Old Madam Jiang looked at the girl and saw her clothes were indeed old. It seemed the Jiang family was really begging for food in the city.

She immediately felt a sense of disdain. Even if they had better days, weren’t they still so pitiful?

“How would I know about your elder sister? She was sold to another family, should I follow her there?” Old Madam Jiang retorted before picking up the cleaned vegetables by her side and preparing to leave.

Jiang Xia quickly stepped in front of Old Madam Jiang to stop her, “You should at least remember where she was sold to and to which family, right?”

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Xia coldly, “Why does a little brat like you need to know so much? Get out of my way!”

With that, Old Madam Jiang shoved Jiang Xia to the side, not wanting to waste any more words with her

If Jiang Xia hadn’t pretended to be something she’s not in front of everyone last time, she wouldn’t have been publicly embarrassed.

That embarrassment made it hard for her to show her face in the village for a while. Even her daughters-in-law, who were once very respectful, would sometimes tease her, making her feel upset.

“Sister!” Jiang Gu shouted when she saw what was happening.

“It’s okay.” Jiang Xia almost fell when she was pushed, but she managed to stand firm because she had been taking care of her health recently.

She didn’t expect Old Madam Jiang, despite her age, to still have such strength.

Looking at Old Madam Jiang’s healthy body and stubborn heart, Jiang Xia thought that without any leverage over Old Madam Jiang, it might be hard to get any information from her.
