When Jiang Hong heard this, she didn’t show any reaction on her face, but she admired her third aunt in her heart.

The third aunt, who used to be honest and blunt, was now lying.

If Jiang Hong believed what Zhou Lan said, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to her grandfather later. She put on a thick face and asked, “Really, Aunt? People said that Uncle just came back from outside when I was on my way here. How come he can’t get up now because of illness?”

Zhou Lan was muttering in her heart, not expecting Jiang Hong to be so clever, even inquiring about her family’s situation on her way over.

But it’s true that Jiang Hong is considered a clever child in the old Jiang’s family, at least smarter than her own parents.

“You see, it’s just bad luck. Your Uncle started feeling ill when he went out, and he can’t get up after coming back. Maybe it’s more serious because he caught a chill,” she explained.

Zhou Lan turned and smiled subtly, “Jiang Hong, did you come to see your Uncle for something? I’m planning to send Jiang Xia to fetch the doctor. Your cousin is young, and I’m not comfortable letting her go alone. Will you go with her and keep an eye on her?”

The doctor’s house is about a mile from the Jiang’s family, not too far but not too close either. It would take about half an hour to walk.

The village roads are tough, and the children are young. It’s common for parents to have two children go out together.

So Zhou Lan’s request was not strange.

But Jiang Hong clearly didn’t want to go, especially since the doctor had already been invited to her house.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hong cleared her throat and said, “Aunt, there’s no need to look for the doctor. He’s at our house right now, treating Grandma’s back.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan weakly turned in his bed, coughing as he asked, “What happened to your Grandma? Is she ill? Oh, it’s a shame that I’m unwell, or 1 would have gone to see her.”

Seeing Jiang Chuan’s pale face and trembling hand, it seemed like he wasn’t lying.

Moreover, even in his ill state, he still cared about her Grandma, surely he must be really sick.

“Grandma’s waist was hit. The bed that Grandma slept on collapsed this morning and hit Grandma.” Jiang Hong briefly explained the situation to Jiang Chuan.

“Is your Grandpa okay?” Jiang Chuan asked, shakily sitting up.

“You should worry about yourself first, you’re the one who’s sick,” Zhou Lan scolded.

“I’m fine; I’m young and strong. I’ll recover soon. But our parents are old, we should care for them more,” Jiang Chuan replied, bantering with his wife.

This left Jiang Hong quite surprised.

Seeing her uncle so dutiful, Jiang Hong started to see him in a new light.

Her uncle wasn’t as ungrateful as others said; he was still as honest as before.

With this in mind, Jiang Hong felt more comfortable saying, Third Uncle, do you think we should ask Third Aunt and Sister Jiang Xia to visit Grandpa and Grandma?”

Jiang Hong felt that even if Jiang Chuan couldn’t go, sending Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan would at least fulfill her Grandpa’s task.

Certainly better than her second aunt’s family, who didn’t even show up.

“Go, cough, go, you go back first. 1’11 have your aunt and cousin get ready and go,” Jiang Chuan agreed before Zhou Lan could speak.

Jiang Hong now fully trusted her uncle and left upon receiving the promise.

Once Jiang Hong left, Zhou Lan immediately became upset, “Why did you agree to her? Didn’t we agree not to get involved with the old Jiang’s family matters?”

“Mom, Dad is right. We have to go to show the old Jiang family that some people can’t take advantage, especially from us.”

Jiang Xia, who had been listening outside, said, sharing her father’s thoughts.

Jiang Chuan sat up, no longer looking weak, and explained seriously to Zhou Lan, “That’s right, what Xiao Xia said is correct. We must go, and we must go openly, to show the villagers how we repay evil with kindness.”

“Exactly, let’s see what they can say about us in the future!”
