Chapter 80: Visit
Outer City.
Noon.
"Little Brother, why did you come back today?"
Jiang Li's face showed surprise as he saw Jiang Ning's figure at the entrance of the courtyard.
"I was a little worried, so I came to check!" Jiang Ning said.
"What's there to worry about!" Jiang Li grinned. "Everything has been fine these past few days. Yesterday, Xu Yunfeng even came here to say that there's been new progress on the case. That thing has nothing to do with me anymore."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
The case being resolved meant that it was over.
Thinking of this, he felt secretly grateful to Shen Congyun.
If not for Shen Congyun stepping in, how would the Cao Family be like this?
Just then.
"Doodoo!" A squeaky voice came from the main house entrance.
"Doodoo!" Jiang Ning's face lit up with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Ning's call, Doodoo immediately opened her arms and waddled towards him. "Doodoo hug hug!"
Jiang Ning squatted down and picked up Doodoo, who had pounced on him.
"Doodoo, Doodoo misses you!" Doodoo was overjoyed, rubbing her round cheeks against Jiang Ning's chin.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh. "I've missed Doodoo too, so I came back."
"Yay!!"
Jiang Li watched the scene in front of him, his face full of smiles.
"Little Brother, are you eating at home or back at the martial academy?"
Jiang Ning said, "Let's eat at home!"
"Alright!" Jiang Li nodded. "I'll go ask your sister to prepare a special meal. I'll kill that old hen!"
"No!" Jiang Ning quickly stopped him. "Just have some light food. I've been eating big feasts at the academy lately, I'm already tired of it! And Doodoo and Yiming are growing, if we kill the old hen, where will they get eggs?"
Jiang Li said, "You don't need to worry about that! According to my colleague I met yesterday, my compensation for casualties is about to be issued, so we'll have money then!"
Doodoo, with her face pressed against Jiang Ning's shoulder, chimed in, "Doodoo wants chicken leg!"
"You, girl!" Jiang Ning pinched her nose.
Jiang Li turned and walked towards the kitchen.
An hour later.
"Little Brother, chicken soup's here!" Jiang Li carried a large bowl of chicken soup and rushed over to Jiang Ning.
"I'll get it!" Jiang Ning quickly got up and took the bowl filled with chicken soup in three steps.
Then he said, "Big Brother, if you can't handle it, don't do this! Sit down first, I'll help your sister bring the dishes."
Jiang Li grinned. "There's nothing inconvenient about carrying a bowl of chicken soup!"
Despite his words, he obediently sat down on the stool.
Jiang Ning then placed the bowl of chicken soup on the table.
"Huhuhu—"
He quickly blew on his scalded fingers, then wiped them on his clothes.
The pain in his fingers was greatly relieved.
"Doodoo, I'll blow on you too!" Doodoo, watching this, sat on the stool and swayed her legs, speaking up.
Jiang Li smiled. "You're not good at boxing! Your hands don't have thick calluses."
Jiang Ning chuckled. "Big Brother, I'll go help bring more dishes. Tell Doodoo to be careful and not to fall."
"Doodoo won't fall!" Doodoo sniffed and harrumphed.
After a moment.
"Let's eat!" Liu Wanwan placed the last dish on the table and then asked, "Do you want some wine?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li's eyes lit up. "Wife, is there still wine at home?"
Liu Wanwan said, "Seeing that An Ning is back, I just borrowed a jar of wine from Aunt Ge next door."
Jiang Li looked at Jiang Ning. "Little Brother, do you want to drink some wine?"
"Sure!" Jiang Ning replied.
Jiang Li's expression brightened, and he turned to Liu Wanwan. "Please bring the wine!"
Liu Wanwan rolled her eyes at Jiang Li and walked towards the door.
Jiang Li, with a face full of joy, said, "Little Brother is truly my lucky star! I haven't had any wine for a long time, I've been craving it these days! Thanks to Little Brother, I can finally quench my thirst."
"Daddy, drink a little less later," Doodoo said in her squeaky voice.
"Alright! I'll listen to Doodoo," Jiang Li said with a smile.
Seeing this, Doodoo happily shook her short legs.
Jiang Ning sat to the side. "It's because Big Brother doesn't have money to buy wine?"
Jiang Li scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "That's part of it, mainly because your sister is strict and won't give me any coins to buy wine."
Hearing this, Jiang Ning understood.
Previously, Big Brother had lent him a hundred silver taels to join the Canglang Martial Academy, and later he somehow obtained twenty silver taels and entrusted someone to give them to him.
Now, without his salary, and having been targeted by Cao Bin, his compensation had not been issued, making the family financially strained.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ning sighed inwardly.
For Big Brother, he also needed to quickly come up with a way to earn some money.
Just then.
"Brother Li—"
"Brother Li—"
Voices were heard from outside the house.
"It's Yang Zong!" Jiang Li's expression changed slightly, and he got up. "Little Brother, you sit here, I'll go check."
"I'll go with Big Brother!" Jiang Ning said, getting up as well.
The two walked out of the house and saw two people standing at the courtyard entrance.
One of them had a youthful appearance, not yet twenty, wearing a patrol officer's uniform with a long sword hanging at his waist.
The other was older, in his forties with some wrinkles, wearing an inspector's uniform with a long sword hanging at his waist.
"Feng Buchou!" Jiang Li recognized them and walked over.
"No need to be so formal!" Feng Buchou said to the lead.
Jiang Ning observed the two men, and he noticed that Feng Capture Chief's gaze shifted from Jiang Li to him.
When Feng Capture Chief's eyes landed on Jiang Ning, they sparkled with recognition.
"Jiang Li, this must be your younger brother!"
Jiang Li patted his head, "Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you, Feng."
Jiang Li raised his hand towards Jiang Ning, "Feng, you're right, this is my younger brother, Jiang Ning."
Then, he turned to Feng Capture Chief and introduced Jiang Ning, "Little brother, this is Feng Capture Chief, my superior."
Jiang Ning clasped his hands respectfully, "Greetings, Feng Capture Chief!"
Feng Capture Chief waved his hands repeatedly, "No need for such formality! I'm just a lowly officer in the county hall, how can I be called 'Feng' by a young man like you?"
"For a young man like you to be valued by Lord Shen, your future is bound to soar. The small Luo Shui County can't hold back a potential dragon like you."
"I truly don't deserve the title of 'Feng,' it makes me ashamed."
