Chapter 495 - 261 Benben_3
Qian Sangui had not realized how wise it was to wait until he had met with Brother of Wu before completely dealing with the Wong family; those waiting to die were, after all, more tormented than those about to die.
Another thing that made Wang Shoushi miserable was that last month, his eldest grandson was jointly sued by several victims to the County Government Office. They had used a lot of silver, but the grandson was still sentenced to fifty heavy blows and two years in prison.
He had always liked this eldest grandson the most, feeling that although the grandson was prone to stirring up trouble, he was smart, good-looking, and most importantly, had strong health. His second and third grandsons were not in good health; one had tuberculosis, and the other was blind in one eye from birth.
Now, this eldest grandson too was in prison.
Ever since the Qian Family had prospered, there had been nothing but misfortune for his own household... With a sour heart, Wang Shoushi took the two large carts of New Year gifts, untouched, back to Wen County.
On the thirtieth day of the last month of the year, the Qian’s third wife was to go to Qian’s Main Courtyard in the village for the New Year’s gathering. It was customary that Cheng Yue didn’t attend; Qian Sangui and his wife took their four children, including Qian Yeejin.
Since Ming Wa and Jingjing were still young, their two wet nurses also had to go.
Upon arriving at the eldest brother’s place, they saw Qian Sigui’s family from the provincial city and Qian Manchuan’s family from the county town had returned as well. The siblings, Qian Yixiu and others, were warmly reunited with Qian Manting, Qian Manpo, Qian Yishan, Duo Duo, and Jin Wa, whom they hadn’t seen for a long time.
As Qian Mandua was not returning to her husband’s family, she also was called to join the Qian Family for the New Year’s gathering.
