Chapter 101 What a bad conscience!
"How do you know it belongs to my uncle?" Jiang Youzhen blurted out, looking at the two people with strange expressions, and then he reacted.
"Ah! No, I mean that woman's identity is not ordinary after all. This child?"
"Because your uncle has acknowledged her! I asked several people to find out, and they said your uncle still wants the child to be registered under his name! It's a pity that the girl's mother-in-law refused to let her go, and said that she would redeem her for two hundred taels of silver. Whether it's an adult or a child, it's two hundred taels."
Ah San pouted and said, "She really dares to ask for it! Two hundred taels, how can it be so precious? For someone like your uncle, I think even twenty taels would be enough, let alone two hundred taels."
"Ah? She has a mother-in-law?" Jiang Youzhen felt as if thunder was rolling in the sky. This bloody plot and complicated relationship were really unexpected.
"Yes! She is a widow. Her husband died three years ago, leaving behind a pair of children. Her father-in-law also died early, and the family lost its income, so her mother-in-law asked her to do those low-class activities. Isn't it? She hooked up with your uncle a year ago. Now the child is almost three months old."
Although Ah San is young, he has been hanging around in the market for many years. He has seen a lot of this and doesn't feel embarrassed to talk about it.
However, Jiang Youzhen immediately thought of what his uncle had done before. Did he want to sell himself just to raise money for redemption?
What a bad conscience! Black-hearted, selling himself to redeem his son, right?
"But how does uncle know that he is his son?" Jiang Youzhen still couldn't figure it out. If the woman didn't have an affair with his uncle after being with him, it would make sense.
But can the uncle really guarantee that the woman has never been with anyone else? There is no such thing as paternity testing these days, so there is no way to be sure, right?
"That's what your uncle thinks. How would we outsiders know so much?" Asan rolled his eyes.
Uh... Jiang Youzhen just realized that he was obsessed. No matter who it belongs to, his uncle thinks it is his.
"What's the situation now? Has my uncle collected enough money?" Jiang Youzhen thought that since he didn't get the money, his uncle would definitely find another way, right?
"He said he didn't have any money. He has been borrowing money everywhere these past two days, but the excuse he used was to prepare for the imperial examination. He said that after passing the county examination, he would go to the provincial capital, but he had no money. But everyone knows that he is just an accountant and gets paid every month. Besides, is the county examination that easy?"
I didn't expect that Ah San was such a talented person. He actually found out the details.
"What do you think? Am I awesome? I used a lot of connections to find the aunt of a classmate of the cousin of the woman's cooking wife, and I was able to find out."
Jiang Youzhen: ...This relationship is really complicated.
She immediately gave him a thumbs up, "Not bad! You are awesome! Then please help me keep an eye on the situation, I will come back to see you later."
Jiang Youzhen took out two taels of silver from his pocket and handed it over, "This is your reward."
"No! I haven't spent all the money you gave me last time!" Asan waved his hands. He was not doing it for the money.
"Take it! You don't have to give some benefits to ask someone for help? Don't be stingy, otherwise you won't get any useful information. Money makes the world go round. If you want to do something big, don't be stingy with money."
Jiang Youzhen stuffed the silver into Asan's hand, not because he didn't want to give more, but because the appetite would only grow bigger.
Ah San put it away after hearing this and said, "Leave it to me."
"Oh, there's one more thing I need to trouble you with. I want to find an accountant, a shopkeeper and a clerk for a friend. They need to be reliable, and it would be best if they are available. They need to be reliable and have good character. Do you have any ideas?"
Ah San thought for a moment before saying, "If you want someone who is capable and trustworthy, it's not hard to find one. But if you want someone who is absolutely loyal and has leverage over you, it's a little hard to find.
Are you in a hurry? If not, I can help you find out. I know two human traffickers in this town, maybe they have someone who meets your requirements."
Jiang Youzhen didn't expect that Asan actually knew so much and understood what she meant, and she was immediately delighted.
How great would it be if Ah San could work for her? With this cleverness, if he could be her manager, she would have no worries.
Alas! It's a pity that Ah San only likes to be a beggar. Jiang Youzhen couldn't understand why someone would aspire to be a beggar who never had to worry about food and drink?
"Then I'll leave this to you. It's a little urgent, so the sooner you do it, the better. Don't be stingy with your money. I'll reward you when it's done."
Ah San patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! If you give me the money, I will have the money to find someone to do the job. As long as I have the money, what else do I have to worry about? Come over in three to five days, and I will definitely give you an answer."
Jiang Youzhen nodded. "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I have something else to do and need to go to the county town. But wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."
As she said this, she turned and went to the bun shop and bought ten big meat buns. She also went to the braised meat stall next door and bought pig's trotters and pork head, as well as some pastries.
"Here! Take it back and eat it."
Ah San looked at the pile of food Jiang Youzhen brought over and was immediately touched. Apart from his father, no one was so kind to him.
Although the neighbors in the town were all nice to him, he knew that they actually looked down on him.
After saying goodbye to Asan, Zhao Wei finally couldn't help but ask.
"You should be more careful. You can't judge a person by his appearance!" Zhao Wei is not Jiang Youzhen's brother-in-law yet, so he was just giving a reminder.
"Don't worry! I give him money and he does things for me. Don't look at him as just a beggar, but there is nothing he doesn't know about Yang'an Town. I trust him to do things for me."
Zhao Wei thought about it. From the two times he had come into contact with Jiang Youzhen, he saw that this boy really knew his limits, so he nodded.
Even after getting married, it is not appropriate to interfere in the affairs of the father-in-law's family.
Jiang Youzhen went to find Chen Yazi again, and this time Chen Yazi brought good news.
As soon as he saw Jiang Youzhen, his face lit up.
"Young Master Jiang, it's done. I'm glad I have fulfilled my mission." When Chen Yazi thought of the ten taels of silver that were about to be in his hands, he couldn't contain his joy.
"How much?" Jiang Youzhen asked with raised eyebrows.
"How about six hundred taels, the amount you originally thought of? I put a lot of effort into it this time."
Seeing Chen Yazi's beaming expression, Jiang Youzhen was curious about how the host agreed to this, but since it was his ability, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay! After I get the estate deed, I will definitely pay you a lot."
Chen Yazi was immediately delighted, and then made an appointment with Jiang Youzhen to go to the government office tomorrow to get the red deed.
"My family still needs to buy some land. Chen Yazi is very capable, and I trust you to do the job. If there is a suitable one, please help me keep an eye out. If there is another such opportunity, I will do it as usual, you know."
"Young Master Jiang is really generous. Don't worry, I will not let you down." Chen Yazi has now completely forgotten about Jiang Fugui. He now understands that as long as he holds on to this young man's thigh, he will definitely get benefits.
