Bab 263: Chapter 259: Going Home_1

Jiang Liu knew her son and daughter-in-law hadn't seen each other for a long time and there must be private matters to discuss. Therefore, she led Yingbao out, shooting her husband a glance before she left.

Old man Jiang understood and made his way back inside.

Earlier this morning, their eldest son had driven the clan leader and his wife to the county town, and so he wasn't home.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, and their eldest granddaughter were in the fields too, leaving only him and his wife at home.

When Yingbao entered her uncle's courtyard, she saw hedgehogs piled up everywhere, and in the corner of the yard, there was a large pile of chestnut shells.

"Grandpa, have all the chestnuts been gathered?" she asked.

Old man Jiang kicked away the chestnut shell under his feet to keep his granddaughter from stepping on the hedgehogs. "Not all of them. Your second brother said we should gather them bit by bit. If we harvest them all at once, they'll get moldy."
