Chapter 233: Truly Forcible Seizure
I wonder if there will be two more stars in the sky tonight.
Perhaps there will be.
Just like that, two little lives were added to the family.
Jiang Changtian’s chest heaved with surprise; he found it somewhat unbelievable.
These were the children his daughter had given birth to.
He had suddenly been promoted in seniority, becoming a grandfather.
This feeling—his whole heart soaked in a sour, astringent sensation within his chest—was both moving and nerve-wracking.
He was afraid he wouldn’t do well enough, that he wouldn’t be able to shield the children from the wind and rain.
He was afraid the wind would be too strong, the rain too heavy, the thunder too loud, and wake his precious little ones.
At this moment, he wished he could summon the wind and call for rain, controlling the entire sky and the entire earth, just so the children could sleep peacefully.
And after wailing loudly, Meng Shaoxia still didn’t dare to hold his own children.
The babies were actually quite large when born; one was over four jin, the other over five jin, adding up to over nine jin. It was a stroke of luck that they were premature; over nine jin would have already been very difficult for a natural birth. If they had waited longer and the babies had grown more, a natural birth would definitely have been difficult, requiring an episiotomy or a cesarean section. The main issue was the lack of an antibacterial environment, which would have carried great risks.
A blessing in disguise.
Jiang Mianmian felt that in her family, it seemed Jiang Yu had the best luck, always able to turn bad fortune into good.
Living the most carefree and happy life.
Upon hearing Jiang Yu wake up, open her eyes, look at her two babies, and shout in surprise: “So ugly, who do they look like?”
Great-Aunt had just wanted to smile and say, “They look like you,” but at this moment, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
Mianmian heard that Jiang Yu’s voice was full of energy, so she should be fine.
Qin Luoxia was on the side holding the soup, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a spoon, and said: “When you were born, you were much uglier than this.”
Meng Shaoxia’s eyes were swollen from crying, and he was currently guarding by Jiang Yu’s side.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw her husband, startled: “Brother Meng, I gave birth to the babies, why did you become ugly too? Is this following the children?”
Meng Shaoxia grinned foolishly; if it weren’t for his mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and Great-Aunt being there, he would have buried his head in Jiang Yu’s body right then.
In short, Jiang Yu could still talk and could still say unpleasant things as usual, so her health should be fine.
At this moment, everyone felt very special and excited about the newborns.
Except for the pregnant woman herself.
Jiang Yu found it a bit unbelievable; were these two cubs really born by her?
She ate meatballs, and gave birth to children.
She ate two bowls of meatballs, and gave birth to two children.
If she had eaten the meatballs in Brother Meng’s hands at that time, would she have been able to give birth to three?
Thinking about it this way, she felt like eating meatballs again…
Seeing that Jiang Yu was doing well, they left the space to the young couple.
Meng Shaoxia took the soup from his mother-in-law’s hands; he would feed her.
The children were also settled in this room. At this time, they felt that the Jiang Family’s suite was truly good. In case of giving birth, having a multi-room suite was very convenient, without needing to open doors to go in and out, letting in drafts.
A normal inn only had one room, which was quite inconvenient.
Great-Aunt went out.
They took the remaining half-bowl of meatballs and fed them to a chicken to test; the chicken died on the spot.
Looking at the dead chicken, it was indeed terrifying in hindsight.
However, the soup had a very strange taste. How much poison had been put in? It felt like half a bowl.
Half of the blame should go to their own daughter.
If others tasted something with a strange flavor, they would stop after one bite, but she could eat half a bowl. If it hadn’t been for her son-in-law coming, she could have finished the whole bowl.
If it were the younger daughter, let alone eating it, if she smelled that the flavor was bad, or if it was cold, she would disdainfully push it away…
Jiang Changtian was a bit angry, but even more heartbroken. He had shortchanged Jiang Yu when she was young. Although conditions were better now, the feeling of lacking food was engraved in her bones and couldn’t be changed.
In the family, Jiang Yu actually cherished things the most. Things they bought would be put away one by one, never thrown around carelessly. Every time she sent things to the in-laws in the capital, why was it always things that showed sincerity, things to eat, things to drink, handmade items? It wasn’t because she had high emotional intelligence, but because she was stingy, couldn’t bear to spend money, and couldn’t bear to give away expensive things.
As for the younger daughter, she was probably born that way. When eating fruit, she wanted it peeled. When eating food, she would often take one bite and forget the rest, and next time she wanted to eat, she would take a new one and take a bite.
Brushing teeth, that finely made toothbrush—others would use it for a lifetime, but she would want a new one after a few months. Anyway, in Jiang Changtian’s eyes, the younger daughter was absolutely spoiled, wasting more than a princess.
Full of pressure.
Heaven bless.
This time his daughter was unharmed, and the children were born smoothly; Jiang Changtian decided to forgive Heaven once.
But he would absolutely not forgive the people of Aima Town for daring to stir up trouble right under his nose.
They went to find the waiter, but the waiter had already committed suicide.
Dead with no proof.
But it is only good people who need to present evidence, finding it bit by bit—that you harmed me, how you harmed me, and why you harmed me.
If there is no evidence, the victim can only suffer the injustice, endure it themselves, and might never be able to get over it in their heart for a lifetime.
They don’t understand why bad people cannot be brought to justice; clearly they did bad things, so why can they be fine?
In the end, they blame it on themselves being useless, deserving to be bullied.
Some people even think too much and end their own lives because they can’t get over it.
Jiang the Second admitted that he was not a good person.
Never was.
So the waiter committed suicide, and the clues were broken; it didn’t matter.
Everyone present was a suspect.
Presumption of guilt.
It just so happened that Jiang Yu needed to observe the postpartum confinement, and having just given birth, they couldn’t hit the road anyway.
Commander Jiang sent men to take control of the entire Aima Town.
The usually righteous Meng Shaoxia didn’t say a word this time, focusing on accompanying his wife in the inn for her confinement.
After all.
Forgiving enemies who hurt you is a matter for saints.
Ordinary people, of course, must harbor a grudge; if there is a chance, they will take revenge, and if there is no chance, they must look for one.
When Commander Jiang didn’t get angry, everyone thought he was just greedy for money.
The first time he lost his temper, it was gifted to Aima Town.
The entire town was under martial law.
Everyone had to be screened.
Not a single head of cattle or horse could leave.
Murderous aura.
Commander Jiang had at least a month to play with them.
