Chapter 163 Encounter with a Thief
And isn’t it Old Granny Zhang and her little aunt that Lady Lin doesn’t get along with?
They are her and Jinshao’s lifesavers, emotionally and rationally, she should give them a heads up.
In front of Old Granny Zhang, Lady Jiang didn’t dare to go, after thinking it through, she walked into the kitchen where Wang Yongzhu was busy at the stove.
In peasant households, the stove usually has two pots in the front and back. Between the two pots, some people leave a small stove hole for a tile pot, used to cook porridge or heat water.
Normally in winter, after cooking, they would smolder a small piece of firewood underneath this small stove hole, allowing it to burn slowly, ensuring that the tile pot always has hot water or warm porridge.
Wang Yongzhu was at that moment pouring out the water from the tile pot, which was still warm, just right for drinking.
Seeing Lady Jiang enter, thinking she was there to help: "I can handle it by myself, sister-in-law, go keep Jinshao company!"
Lady Jiang didn’t say a word, stepped forward to help Wang Yongzhu pour out the water, and then put it back.
In passing, she whispered, "I think something seems off with eldest sister-in-law."
After saying that, she put back the tile pot and left the kitchen.
Wang Yongzhu was momentarily stunned, disbelieving as she watched Lady Jiang’s retreating figure. Was she giving herself and Old Granny Zhang a warning?
