After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 298 Chase (2)

"What's the point of telling you? Will it make you worry with me?"

Zhang Fu didn't say anything either, he just felt that she had shouldered too much.

"It's all my parents' fault."

"Dad, what are you talking about? You and mom are just farmers. If I tell you about these things, it will only make you worry in vain. That's why I didn't tell you. Also, when you go back, don't tell mom. Mom is prone to thinking too much. If she knew, she might not be able to sleep all night."

Zhang Fu opened his mouth, but in the end he could only sigh: "Dad knows that you are doing this for this family, but these people are not easy to mess with. I am really worried that something will happen to you. If something happens to you, what will Chuan'er do?"

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll be fine."

Zhang Fu wanted to say something, but found that it would be useless for him to say anything.

"It will be dawn soon. You should take a rest. We will go back to town tomorrow morning."

Zhang Fu nodded, but he lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Firstly, he was thinking about what his daughter-in-law had told him about what had happened in the past six months. Secondly, he was thinking about Chang Wei. Master Chang had saved her so many times. Could there be something going on between them?

At first he had no objection to his daughter-in-law remarrying, but now she has become the backbone of the family, and everyone is counting on her. If she remarries... Oh...

Chang Wei saw Jiang Xiaohe coming out and asked, "Is the old man okay?"

"I was just a little frightened, but I'm fine."

Chang Wei nodded: "I will ask someone to go to the inn and bring your carriage back later."

"Thank you."

"There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

Having said that, he went to make arrangements.

Jiang Xiaohe went to see Qin Mei again, but saw Manager Chang was in the room, so she quickly retreated and sat on a stool at the back of the yard, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Chang Wei came back after finishing his business. When he opened the door, he saw her sitting in the yard. Her long hair was not tied up, but casually draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a simple pink and white dress. Compared with the women in the farmyard, she was pretty. But compared with the beauties in this world, she could only be considered a beautiful girl.

But her facial features, which are not particularly outstanding, coupled with her confident and generous temperament, make her look better than many others. The more I look at her, the more I like her.

Chang Wei was holding two bags in his hands: "I will go back secretly and pack up the things in your room."

Jiang Xiaohe took a look and said with a smile, "I was just thinking about how to go back, but I didn't expect you to bring them all."

The title deed I bought today is still inside.

Jiang Xiaohe opened the bag and found the hairpin that she and Qin Mei bought last time. She tied her hair up and then casually fixed it on her head with the hairpin.

It’s much cooler now. It was very hot just now with my hair disheveled.

Chang Wei sighed in his heart, thinking how nice it was to wear this shawl, it made her look more gentle.

"I'll take you back to town early in the morning."

"You're going too? Will it delay your work too much?"

Chang Wei waved his hand: "It's okay. I haven't been escorting these days. I'm just helping Brother Meng to deal with the people from the Chamber of Commerce."

"Then you were injured by someone from the Chamber of Commerce?"

Chang Wei nodded and said, "Qin Mei is injured. If we weren't here, I'm worried that something might happen to you on the way."

Jiang Xiaohe knew that what he said was true, but he had already helped her so much. If he continued to help her like this, she didn't know how to repay his kindness.

"Do you feel like I've helped you so much and you don't know how to repay me?"

Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and nodded seriously.

"or...."

"Don't talk about things I can't do." Jiang Xiaohe turned her face away and said in a low voice.

Chang Wei smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What I mean is, why don't you go and make a meal? You must be a little hungry after all the work."

This is possible, anyway she can’t sleep now.

"Do you have food at home?"

“There is still rice.”

"Where's the kitchen?"

Chang Wei pointed to the side, turned around and carried a bucket of water into the kitchen.

Jiang Xiaohe cooked the rice into the pot in a few seconds.

"Your kitchen looks clean. It doesn't look like anyone has lived here for a long time."

“I live here these days.”

Jiang Xiaohe nodded. It made sense. She already had a house, so it would be a waste of money to stay in an inn every day.

Look, there are a few potatoes under the stove, and I’m going to stir-fry some shredded potatoes.

Then he saw there were eggs, counted how many people there were in the family, and cooked one for each person.

After finishing everything, the sky began to turn pale.

Zhang Fu couldn't fall asleep, so he got up early. Hearing the voices of two people talking and laughing in the kitchen, he sighed and felt that he might not be able to keep his daughter-in-law.

After they had their meal, they drove their carriage out of the city gate at daybreak. But as soon as they got outside, they saw someone secretly guarding there.

Chang Wei asked Manager Chang to take Qin Mei and Zhang Fu away first. Their target was Jiang Xiaohe, so he took her along another route.

Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Qingshan: "You must protect the old man."

Zhang Qingshan nodded firmly.

"Just take care of things, they'll be left to you."

"Don't worry, my lady, they are here with me."

Zhang Fu told Jiang Xiaohe to be careful as well.

Manager Chang drove the carriage towards the town without looking back.

Don’t chase the people behind you.

Chang Wei said: "Don't worry, their target is you. As long as you are safe, they are safe."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded.

The people surrounding them pointed at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Young Master said that if we capture this woman alive, there will be a huge reward!"

Everyone rushed up in an instant.

Chang Wei protected Jiang Xiaohe, fought back against the people who surrounded them, and ran with her in the opposite direction.

Seeing that the two were finally forced into a desperate situation, Chang Wei also suffered a lot of injuries.

"are you OK?"

"We can still hold on." He answered while keeping a close eye on the enemy.

The leader looked at them. He didn't expect Chang Wei to be so powerful. He was still protecting this woman even in such a state.

"Chang Wei, there is no way forward! If you hand over this woman, we can let you live!"

Chang Wei sneered: "You're dreaming!"

"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! Brothers, come on."

Someone rushed over immediately, and Chang Wei kicked him off the cliff.

Jiang Xiaohe almost fell down, but fortunately Chang Wei was quick and pulled her up.

The leader became angry when he saw that they refused to surrender for a long time, and immediately ordered more people to surround them.

After dealing with this wave of people rushing up, Chang Wei stuck his knife into the soil to stabilize his body, and spat out a mouthful of blood. He knew that he didn't have much strength left, and was afraid that he couldn't protect her, so he turned around and asked Jiang Xiaohe: "Can you swim?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Yes!"

Chang Wei's mouth twitched, thinking that when she married him, she jumped into the river on purpose? Otherwise, she would have been his long ago.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

He whispered, "Walk to the side. There's a big river down there. Jump in. As long as you can swim, you can survive. I can't hold on any longer."
