Chapter 548: Chapter 547: Love-Struck at Home 29

Su Man’s condition was actually quite alright, it was just that Jiang Maohua had spoiled her so well that she kept humming along the way.

Childbirth is indeed tough, Ah Chen sat in the car, not feeling disturbed at all.

It was Chen Xiuying who, seeing her discomfort, awkwardly offered a few words of comfort. She and her daughter-in-law, Su Man, really couldn’t get along; she always found something disagreeable about her. But today was a special circumstance, so she pretended to close her eyes and not see it.

Some people from the village tagged along as well.

Jiang Maohua was extremely nervous at the side, even though it was still quite cold, he was sweating profusely out of anxiety.

To be honest, Jiang Maohua had nothing to say against Su Man.

The Su Family heard about the situation and didn’t have much of a reaction. They knew that this child Su Man was carrying wasn’t Jiang’s but Gu Lingfei’s, and they were really resentful towards Su Man. If it weren’t for the fear of embarrassment, they would have dealt with Su Man back then.

After taking her to the hospital, Jiang Maohua stayed with her, while Ah Chen left the hospital to buy some things, and ran into Matchmaker Li.

"Yu Jinyong has somehow offended someone, and again had his legs broken." Matchmaker Li sighed and gathered close to Ah Chen, "He was supposed to meet a girl today, but it fell through. The girl inquired about the past and told me she won’t consider Yu Jinyong anymore, fearing he might have connections with some unsavory people and might get retaliated against."

"News about it has spread, and now many people know that Yu Jinyong has an elusive enemy, making it hard for him to find a match." Matchmaker Li shook her head.

Ah Chen, however, was quite satisfied, that was good.

"Has he been taken to the county hospital?" she asked.

"Yes, he just recovered, and now it’s even more serious than last time; who knows how long it’ll take to heal this time. Who could hold such a grudge against Yu Jinyong, wishing to keep him from ever finding a wife?" Matchmaker Li speculated, thinking it possible, saying that for the Yu Family, ending the family line could be a form of revenge — but why not break his third leg?

Ah Chen smiled: "Then better find a bold, strong girl in the future, preferably one who knows a few moves, so she won’t be scared."

Not only would she not be scared, but she might also beat up Yu Jinyong, maybe there is someone suitable for him out there.

"Indeed, the average girl wouldn’t agree." Matchmaker Li was a bit worried too, "But that guy is very picky, just likes pretty ones."

"These matters depend on mutual willingness, only his preference won’t do," Ah Chen responded.

Unless Yu Jinyong uses some unscrupulous methods, he’s known for that, no need to doubt.

Last time, he even thought of breaking her leg; she didn’t think he would pursue girls through rightful ways.

Thus, breaking his legs first seemed safer, preventing him from harming others.

"Why did you come to the town today?" Matchmaker Li then asked.

"My second sister-in-law went into labor early in the morning and was sent to the hospital, I’m here to buy some things to be used later," Ah Chen said, "If Aunt Li has anything to do, go ahead."

Matchmaker Li did have matters to attend to, said a few more words, and reluctantly bid farewell to Ah Chen, chatting with Jiang Xiaomei was really pleasant.

Yu Jinyong was already in the county hospital receiving treatment, groaning in pain, cursing the one who used the dirty trick.

The Yu Family accompanied him, also cursing the villain, wondering what grudge there was to only target Yu Jinyong’s legs.

By noon, Su Man smoothly gave birth to a son, named Jiang Hongyu.

Su Man held the child with a face full of smiles. Although childbirth was quite exhausting and she didn’t want to go through it again, she had high hopes for this child. As long as this child was there, she could live a good life.

That afternoon, the Jiang Family took Su Man back, after all, the delivery went smoothly, and recovering at home was more convenient in every way.

Maybe because of what Ah Chen said earlier, Jiang Maohua did not automatically expect Chen Xiuying to help take care of Su Man, but instead gave money, asking Chen Xiuying to help deliver meals and look after Su Man recently.

Chen Xiuying didn’t refuse this time, finally, the second son was being reasonable.

She didn’t offer care for free, as after all, the child Su Man bore wasn’t her grandson, so it was impossible not to have any feelings of resentment.

Once people were sent home, Ah Chen also needed to go, as she had work tomorrow; if she didn’t head to the county today, she wouldn’t make it in time tomorrow.

"If you’re too busy, you don’t need to come back often, work is more important," Jiang Aiguo said, "Your mom and I are healthy, and there’s your elder brother too, nothing much at home."

"Indeed, you rush back every vacation without getting any rest, you’ve lost weight," Chen Xiuying said, "Don’t worry too much, just come back occasionally, if you miss mom, call from the town, and I’ll call you back."

The daughter’s job was busy, working at the Public Security Bureau, how could it not be busy? Look at her son-in-law, he doesn’t have time to come back either, heard he was following up on some case, went out of town.

Ah Chen responded: "Alright, Dad and Mom."

She wasn’t as busy as imagined, but indeed would have to watch over Lu Yan’s side more closely next.

This time Ah Chen didn’t take a car, without pre-arranging, no car would come to pick her up, so she walked straight to the town to catch a ride, it was still early, there were vehicles from town to the county.

However, on the road, she encountered members of the Yang Family, the ones who swapped Gao Xiangxiang’s child back then. The ones involved were the second son and his wife of the Yang Family, both of whom were already in jail.

The child born then was raised by the older couple of the Yang Family.

At this time, preferential treatment for sons over daughters was still quite common, though families like the Jiang Family who cherished daughters were plenty, families like the Yang Family who valued sons even more so.

The elderly couple of the Yang Family was unfamiliar with Ah Chen, even not knowing each other.

They seemed to be heading to town, soon they would be on the same path.

Old Mrs. Yang was carrying a baby, probably the one nearly swapped for Gao Xiangxiang’s child.

Initially, Ah Chen didn’t pay much attention, but the child’s gaze kept evaluating her, somewhat peculiarly.

Instinctively glancing over, she found a pair of eyes that didn’t quite belong to an infant.

Could this world have many loopholes? This would be the third Reincarnator, right?

Oh, and there’s her, this Missionary too. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Jiang Fei in her previous life should be called Yang Fei now. She was also startled when she saw Jiang Chen. How could she forget the Jiang Family from neighboring Jixiang Village?

She never imagined that after being released from prison, Jiang Zijun wouldn’t let her off, preferring mutual destruction.

Thought to be doomed, she unexpectedly found herself conscious again, as a baby.

Had returned to her childhood years.

Just when she planned to take precautions, ensuring this life wouldn’t be ruined by Jiang Zijun, nipping all dangers in the bud, even avoiding the truth of swapped children from surfacing, somehow the swap incident got exposed, culprits arrested, and all jailed while she was sent back to the Yang Family.

There weren’t many memories before the age of three in her past life, but surely Gao Xiangxiang’s couple raised her well.

Yet the Yang Family was different, ever since she returned here, nobody cared for her, hungry or wet, she would cry long before someone attended to her.

This made Yang Fei furious, wishing to grow up quickly to leave the Yang Family, every day spent here was torture.

But Ah Chen didn’t regard this child much, reincarnation was reincarnation, her karma of good and evil.

Gazing at Jiang Chen leaving, Yang Fei became silent again, wishing to grow up. Who altered everything? Meddling! She must find them!

Back in the county town, Ah Chen now lived with Lu Yan. After their marriage, the unit allocated them a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

Lu Yan went out of town for a case, probably wouldn’t return for ten days or half a month.

A month later, Lu Yan returned.

After wrapping up follow-up work, Lu Yan walked hastily to Ah Chen’s spot, taking out a box from his pocket for her.

Other colleagues in the office all rolled their eyes, how did the once stern Captain Lu become like this?

Ah Chen received the box: "What is this?"

"Open it and see," Lu Yan was a bit nervous, unsure whether she would like it.

Ah Chen unwrapped it, inside was a pearl hair clip, she looked up: "I like it, but how do I use this?"

Lu Yan lightly coughed, softly saying, "Learned a bit when buying, I’ll help you when we get home."

"Alright."

Noticing the playful gazes from around, Lu Yan gradually adapted, and even felt a bit proud.

After work, Lu Yan dragged Ah Chen home, seated her before a mirror, clumsily started to style her hair.

"Find some time to go home," Lu Yan said.

Lu Yan nodded: "I was thinking the same."

The plan was well arranged, but the next day a big case arose, and Lu Yan had to leave again.

In the bureau, Ah Chen noticed a look of death on Lu Yan’s face, felt trouble was brewing.
