Chapter 143 Unfamiliar sister-in-law
Ah Jiu lowered her head, and she breathed a sigh of relief only after the carriage passed through the thick city wall.
The Nanming City was bustling with people, and the sound of business and hawking was endless.
It's a completely different world from the outside.
The carriage suddenly stopped: "Girl, your grandfather said it would be fine to take you into the city."
"By the way, Grandpa Niu, do you know how to get to Weilan Medical Center?"
Ah Jiu got out of the car.
"Elan Medical Clinic? It's at the east end of this street. How about I take you there?"
When he said that he was at the east end of the street, Ah Jiu clearly saw that Grandpa Niu was in trouble.
Maybe the place to collect the water is not convenient: "Grandpa Niu, go and collect the water. I will just walk over. Thank you very much, Grandpa. You can't delay your collecting the water because of me."
Fortunately, Ah Jiu's dress was very long, and the cloth shoes with worn-out soles could not be seen.
It's just that the hem of the skirt is dragging on the floor. It's a pity that it got dirty, so I had to carry it along the way.
Ah Jiu followed the direction pointed by Grandpa Niu and headed east along the street.
I haven’t seen the bustling Ah Jiu on the street for many years, and there are also people selling steamed buns.
There are also some trinkets. I really don’t know how King Nanming managed the city and still managed to maintain business contacts with all directions in these years.
After about a stick of incense, Ah Jiu arrived at the east end of the street.
After looking at the words on the plaque, I immediately found the plaque for the Ai Lan Medical Center and strode in.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
A waiter from a model shop stood in front of Ah Jiu.
"I'm here to find someone, your doctor."
She remembered that her grandma had told her that if she found someone, she would report her family name.
"doctor?"
The waiter at your shop has a sad look on his face.
"Yeah." Is there anything strange?
Then there were other people's eyes looking up and down. Ah Jiu didn't think there was anything wrong with her.
The more I looked at the waiter, the weirder his eyes became: "Are you talking about Dr. Liu?"
Ah Jiu's head buzzed. She had only met her sister-in-law once. At that time, she was locked in the woodshed and looked through the crack in the door. How could she know her mother's father's surname?
But since we are colleagues, it is natural for us to inquire.
Ah Jiu nodded.
"There have been many people coming to see Dr. Liu recently, but they have all been dead for more than a month."
The waiter in the shop looked as if he had eaten shit.
"Ah?" Ah Jiu suddenly felt unwell. He has been dead for more than a month?
"What's going on?" A woman in her twenties came over and put the herbs in her tray on the counter.
"Miss Liu, this girl said she was looking for the old man, but..."
The waiter looked at Miss Liu and then at Ah Jiu with a troubled expression.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for my father?" The woman named Miss Liu had a cold look on her face.
Although she was wearing coarse clothes, she could not hide the coldness and coldness in her eyes.
"Sister, I want to ask you about someone."
Ah Jiu was actually not sure whether the person he was looking for had the surname Liu.
As the saying goes, when you marry, you should follow your husband. When my sister-in-law married into the Meng family, she was always called Meng.
Except for people like grandma, whose grandfather has passed away, people will change their name to the maternal surname Wang.
"Say, the library is very busy and I don't have time to waste time."
The woman looked aloof, but this aloofness was not a condescending feeling, but more like a feeling of discouragement and distance.
"I am the daughter of the Meng family in Xinghua Village. I want to find Meng Nanxing's father-in-law."
Ah Jiu could only say this.
"What did you say?"
Miss Liu's pupils shrank and she looked Ah Jiu up and down: "Are you Meng Shaode's... daughter? Meng Nanxing's sister?"
She looked at the girl again in disbelief, remembering that when she first married into the Meng family, she saw a dirty little pitiful girl with black nose and eyes.
Those eyes were like knives scratching at Ah Jiu's body.
Ah Jiu was so frightened that he took two steps back.
It seems that we have found the right person. This person is most likely the elder brother's sister-in-law who rushed back to her parents' home.
She has changed, not the same as in memory.
When they first met, they had just gotten married, and the sister-in-law smiled and gave her a candy. Although they separated after that, they had no contact with her anymore.
But it's not as cold and harsh as it is now.
Liu Caier pressed forward step by step, her eyes getting sharper:
"Ah Jiu, right? Go back and tell your eldest brother that I have given up on him. My father has also passed away. Please don't disturb my life again."
The last half of the sentence was yelled.
