Chapter 322

"Can you tell me again what the relationship is between the three of them?"

Wang Shang is a little bald.

Jiao Niang sneered: "Didn't the commander just say that he didn't need my help and could figure it out on his own?"

Wang Shang glared at him and said, "Don't say those useless things. Hurry up and let me see if there are any other clues."

He refused to admit that he was confused by the relationship between the three people.

It’s not accurate to say that I was confused.

Much more is still unimaginable.

Very shocked.

"Then listen carefully, and let me tell you in detail."

Jiao Niang told people more details.

"The first cloth shop owner's surname is Qiao, and most of the neighbors call her Madam Qiao."

"The man who threw his own son from the third floor was named Yang and given the single character Qing."

"The second cloth shop owner's surname is Lin, and she is the ninth daughter in her family, so people call her Lin Jiuniang."

Jiao Niang briefly introduced the relationship between these three people.

"Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Lin Jiu were originally a pair of good sisters who supported each other."

"At first, the two men opened a drapery shop together."

"Later, because Mrs. Qiao got married, her husband was not ambitious, useless, and useless."

"He's idle all day, and has to ask Madam Qiao for food and drink."

“Even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, you can’t stop eating up all the gold and silver. It only takes out, not in!”

“At first, Madam Qiao still had quite a bit of surplus in her account.”

"Since I married this husband, I have to support the family and him, and gradually I have become stretched to the limit."

"The couple later had a child, and the expenses became even greater."

Jiao Niang actually didn't quite understand Madam Qiao's choice.

Marrying someone will only make your life worse and worse.

So what's the point of marrying this person?

"Originally, Madam Qiao had saved up some money and was planning to buy a small house."

"Of course the full payment is definitely not enough. After paying the deposit, I have to borrow some more from the warehouse."

"It's just that the marriage was arranged in a hurry, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so she couldn't buy the house right away."

"She had originally planned to buy a house the day after her wedding, but her in-laws said it was unlucky to go out on the second day after her wedding, so they discouraged her from doing so."

"Afterwards, her parents advised her that since she was already married and had a place to live, why bother wasting money on buying a house? She might as well give the spare money to her brothers and provide for them in their old age!"

"After my wife's family started talking about this, my husband's family also started to persuade her."

"First, they scolded her for not knowing what was good for her. She had already married into their family, but she was still hiding and secretly taking the money. It was really disgraceful."

"I also tried to persuade her to use the money to buy a house for her brother-in-law and help her husband's two younger brothers buy houses and land, so that they can get married in the future."

Jiao Niang sighed: "Come to think of it, this matter has something to do with Jiang An Ning."

"Is it related to Jiang Anning?"

Wang Shang frowned: "So this is not a coincidence?"

"That's not true."

The beautiful lady said "Oh!" and glared at the man.

"Just listen to what I have to say first. Why are you so anxious to make a judgment?"

Wang Shang rolled his eyes.

"Okay. Go on then."

He suppressed his anger and listened patiently as the person continued to talk about this and that, but there was no point.

"Didn't the county magistrate grant Jiang An Ning a piece of land? I don't know what this girl was thinking. She has a very flexible mind and actually built a lot of houses in rows on that piece of vacant land."

“Each room doesn’t take up a lot of space.”

"The only thing that wins is that although it is small, it has all the organs."

"From the outside, they look small, like bird cages, with rows and rows of them all looking the same, but in reality, even if a family of five lives in them, it won't seem crowded."

"It is mainly used to accommodate refugees who have fled here."

"But most of those refugees came here as a family."

"Each household is only allocated one house, and that's enough."

"Besides, if we divide it too much, I'm afraid others won't be willing."

"After dividing it this way, there will still be some of the house left."

"Song Yubao from the government office helped to entrust these extra houses to the brokers and put them up for sale."

Wang Shang frowned: "Could it be that the house that Madam Qiao likes is built by Jiang Anning?"

He frowned and said, "The timing is a little off, isn't it?"

"According to what you said, Madam Qiao just got married and wanted to buy a house. It should be a matter between her and her first husband, right?"

"Before she got together with this Yang Qing, didn't she already have three dead husbands?"

"She couldn't have had three husbands die in one year, could she?"

Just by saying it out loud, Wang Shang felt it was outrageous.

If it is true that Mrs. Qiao had three husbands die within a year, then how could Yang Qing have hooked up with someone else?

Isn’t he afraid that the other party will bring bad luck to his husband and become a hindrance to him?

Jiao Niang smiled and said, "It's definitely not within a year."

Wang Shang immediately showed an expression of "as expected".

"Within half a year."

When Jiao Niang said these words with a chuckle, she had already anticipated Wang Shang's shocked expression.

"What the hell?"

Within half a year?

"Is this Miss Qiao really a jinx to her husband?"

But if that were the case, why would anyone come to ask for my hand in marriage?
Jiao Niang glared at the man with disgust.

"Can you please stop being so feudal and superstitious!"

"What's the matter with whether you can bring bad luck to your husband or not? It's all just bullshit."

Wang Shang:......

"Go on!" He didn't want to argue with others on this matter, so he changed the subject directly.

"Mrs. Qiao's last two husbands died in accidents."

Jiao Niang said with a smile.

Wang Shang felt something was wrong at that time.

"Death by accident?"

Is it such a coincidence?
"Of course it wasn't a real accident... My people went to investigate and found out that he was sentenced to exile by the government and died on the road."

"Both of them were sentenced to exile?"

Is it such a coincidence?
Jiao Niang hummed and nodded: "Yes, both of them were sentenced to exile."

"Actually, speaking of which, the death of this Miss Qiao's first husband was also very strange and interesting."

Wang Shang frowned and looked at her.

"Mrs. Qiao's first husband died suddenly after eating poisonous mung bean soup." "Poisonous mung bean soup?"

Wang Shang frowned and thought of a possibility: "Was it Madam Qiao who poisoned me?"

"Of course not..." Jiao Niang rolled her eyes again: "If it was Madam Qiao who poisoned her, how could the government let her go?"

"That is?"

"It was Madam Qiao's first husband who poisoned her himself!"

Wang Shang pinched his aching forehead.

"Wait a moment, let me sort it out first."

"Mrs. Qiao's first husband drank poisonous mung bean soup and died suddenly...but the poison in the mung bean soup was put into the soup by Mrs. Qiao's first husband himself."

"Are you sure you didn't say anything wrong?"

"The victim poisoned himself and killed himself?"

How outrageous!

Jiao Niang nodded and said, "You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong either. It was Madam Qiao's first husband who poisoned the mung bean soup and eventually poisoned himself to death."

"Who did he originally want to poison? Madam Qiao?"

"No."

Jiao Niang shook her head and chuckled: "The person he originally wanted to poison was his mother."

"Wait for me to smooth it over."

Wang Shang began to doubt his life.

He had never heard as many outrageous things in his life as he heard today.

"Mrs. Qiao's first husband poisoned the mung bean soup in an attempt to kill his own mother...my dear mother?"

"Dear mother!"

"Then why did he do that?"

"For money!"

Wang Shang was confused again. It took him a while to digest all the details. "Where did the money come from?"

"Mrs. Qiao's!"

Wang Shang's mind went blank for more than ten breaths, and finally he chose to give up.

"You, you, you, you, just explain the whole story in one breath! Don't breathe so hard!"

Jiao Niang looked at his headache and covered her mouth with her hands, laughing.

"The money belongs to Madam Qiao. She earned it from opening a cloth shop with Madam Lin Jiu."

"After Madam Qiao got married, both her husband's family and her own family coveted her savings."

"In the end, the money was finally obtained by Madam Qiao's first husband after he pretended to please her for more than a month and gained her trust."

"Mrs. Qiao never expected that her husband, who was so affectionate and obedient to her in everything, and even stood by her several times to help her speak up against her mother-in-law, would change his attitude immediately after receiving the money."

"According to Madam Qiao herself, if this man could have lied to her for a little longer and then told her that the money was lost or spent, or even used it to cause trouble, she wouldn't have been so angry."

"But as soon as the man got the money, he immediately ran to his mother-in-law and gave the money to her mother-in-law as if he was offering a treasure."

"Mrs. Qiao just felt that she had been greatly deceived."

"She placed her trust in him with all her heart and eyes, but what she got in return was a stab in the back."

"Mrs. Qiao can't accept it."

"I originally planned to divorce."

"But you also know that divorce is not that easy."

"It's hard for an honest official to settle family disputes. Ordinary officials don't want to get involved in such lawsuits, so they just try to smooth things over."

"Finally, after Madam Qiao's family members learned about this incident, they took turns to persuade her."

"But it's called persuasion, but in fact it's coercion."

“First, they despised Madam Qiao for being shameful and not being able to keep her own winnings.”

"Then he complained to Madam Qiao that she didn't give the money she made to her parents' family, but gave it all to her husband's family. She was really ungrateful."

"Finally, he threatened Madam Qiao that if she really dared to divorce him, she would not be able to return to her parents' home."

"Her parents will never take her in."

“They are all ashamed.”

"If it were usual, Madam Qiao wouldn't care whether her family was willing to accept her return."

"She has her own money, so she can rent a house outside."

"But now, she has been defrauded of all her family property and has no money left. If she insists on divorce, she will be homeless."

"It's not like she couldn't find someone to help her out for a few days."

"But after all, I am bothering others, and I can't keep bothering them forever."

"So Madam Qiao has temporarily given up the idea of ​​divorce."

"I plan to save some money through the cloth shop that I opened with Lin Jiuniang. When I have more money, I will talk about the divorce again."

"Unexpectedly, her useless husband seemed to have guessed her intentions. He first stopped her from going out to do business, saying that the family was not poor and the little money she earned was enough for her to stay at home and give birth to a child as soon as possible, and then take care of the husband and children."

"Don't think about those random things all the time. It will make your mind go wild!"

Jiao Niang couldn't help but sigh: "That man's family doesn't have much surplus food. If it weren't for marrying Madam Qiao, who paid for all the expenses, their family would have been so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat."

"I really don't know where this person gets such a big tone from."

She was so disgusted with this man that she cursed him several times.

"Fortunately, the young lady is clear-headed and knows what is most important nowadays. She insists on going out to do business and make her own money."

"She was going to save money soon."

"And because of this family's behavior, all the money she earned this time was not taken out again."

“I thought it would be safe.”

"I didn't expect that this man would actually go to her store, secretly take away Lin Jiuniang's share of the dividends, and even beat Lin Jiuniang away."

Wang Shang frowned: "So, the reason why Madam Qiao and Madam Lin Jiu broke up was because of this incident?"

"Yes, but not entirely."

Jiao Niang gave him a calming look: "Why are you in such a hurry? Just listen to me and I will explain it slowly."

Wang Shang nodded: "Okay, go on."

"Mrs. Lin Jiu was of course angry, and she did have a falling out with them, but she was clear-headed and rational. After understanding the whole story, she didn't blame Madam Qiao too much, and she even helped them get the money back."

"However, before the two of them could take action, Madam Qiao's first husband died suddenly after drinking poisonous mung bean soup."

When Jiao Niang said this, Wang Shang was puzzled: "Since Madam Qiao's first husband took advantage of her, why did he poison his own mother?"

"This all started when Madam Qiao's first husband cheated her out of money. He didn't even want to pretend for a few days and just handed the money directly to his mother."

"Mrs. Qiao's first husband originally thought that since he was giving the money to his mother, the bulk of it would be spent on him."

"At first, he relied on his status as Madam Qiao's husband and treated the cloth shop jointly opened by Madam Qiao and Lin Jiuniang as if it were his own home. He just stretched out his hand to take money directly, came and went freely, and he was not short of money to spend."

"Naturally, he didn't care who the money he handed over to his mother was spent on."

"When Lin Jiuniang found out that the accounts were not right, she had a big fight with Madam Qiao, and the two of them could no longer continue to cooperate. Madam Qiao's first husband had no place to get money easily, so he thought of asking his mother for the money he had given her before."

Jiao Niang gloated a little: "In the end, it turned out that the money he gave to his mother, which was enough to pay the deposit for a small house, was all spent by his mother on his two younger brothers."

"Not only did I not have any money left, but I was also burdened with a lot of debts."

Wang Shang probably guessed why Madam Qiao's first husband poisoned the mung bean soup and murdered his own mother.

"But since the money has already been spent, can he get it back if he kills his mother?"

Jiao Niang chuckled: "You are such a person. I told you not to be anxious and just listen to what I have to say."

"Why don't you listen to my advice?"
