Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning

Chapter 399 Jiang Wenming Being Beaten

Jiang Jiyun carefully held the bottle containing her two teeth and walked step by step to the tombstone.

She squatted down gently, slowly dug a small hole with her hands, then placed the bottle steadily in, and then carefully covered it with soil, as if she was afraid to disturb the soul resting underground.

Not far away, Ma Chao, Chen Meng and others were sitting quietly nearby, silently burning stacks of paper money.

Wisps of green smoke rose up, hovering in the air for a moment before gradually dissipating.

Their eyes fell on Jiang Jiyun from time to time, but no one spoke to disturb the little girl who was immersed in her own world.

When everything was settled, everyone set out on the journey back to the village together.

When we returned to the village, the whole village was filled with a strong festive atmosphere.

The clan members all gathered together and prepared to make a sumptuous dumpling meal.

I saw the men skillfully picking up kitchen knives and chopping the fresh pork into finely minced meat. Some of them flexibly waved rolling pins to make sheets of dough that were evenly thin, round and smooth.

The women sat together, skillfully wrapping the cabbage and pork fillings into the dough, and shaping them into delicate and beautiful dumpling shapes.

At this time, Jiang Jiancai noticed that the little girl was staring with her big round eyes, curiously watching the busy crowd in the yard.

He walked up to her with a smile, gently touched the little girl's head and said, "My child, we have an old custom here called 'dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus'."

"Today, we are making dumplings together to send you off, hoping that no matter how far you go, you will not forget the way home after eating these dumplings. Third Grandpa hopes that you will be safe and sound and return home soon!"

"Yeah." Jiang Jiyun wiped his eyes with his sleeve and walked into the yard.

She washed her hands and went to Sister Ji Xue to help make dumplings.

Jiang Jiquan looked at the ball made by his sister and then at the one made by his mother. "My sister's is different!"

Jiang Jiyun looked at the ugly dumplings he had made and then at the beautiful dumplings made by the adults, and then he put them down reluctantly.

After dinner, Jiang Wenming walked briskly back home. He gently opened the door, walked into the room, took something out of his bag, and handed it to Xiang Xiuying who was sitting on the bed.

"Wife, this is what I saved bit by bit. You can keep the money and use it for daily expenses. And this gold lock and this pair of gold bracelets are gifts for our future children." Jiang Wenming said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

However, Xiang Xiuying seemed to have lost all her strength and said in frustration: "Where can there be a child..."

Her voice trembled slightly, revealing endless loss.

It turned out that Xiang Xiuying had always had some minor problems with uterine coldness. The accident she experienced in the Sakura Country made her full of worries - perhaps the knife had injured her uterus.

Because of this, despite their efforts to conceive, they have not been able to have a child since they got married.

At this moment, before Jiang Wenming could open his mouth to comfort her, he heard Xiang Xiuying sobbing and choking, "Wenming, if...if one day you meet a woman you really like outside, then marry her. I know that a woman like me who can't even have children is not worthy of you. So, you should marry a wife who can carry on your family line!"

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Jiang Wenming's heart. He suddenly panicked and quickly stretched out his hands, frantically wiping away Xiang Xiuying's tears that kept rolling down.

He responded eagerly: "Oh! Wife, what are you thinking about? It really doesn't matter whether you have children or not now!"

"Doesn't our eldest brother's family already have two children? And our second brother's family also has one child. Besides, our second brother and his wife are in good health and will definitely have more children in the future. So what if we don't have children? As long as my husband and I love each other and accompany each other, can't we still live a happy life?"

Looking at his wife crying so hard, Jiang Wenming felt a pang of pain in his heart. He spoke slowly again, "Don't cry, my wife. Besides, it hasn't even been half a month since I came back. How can I have a child so soon? Don't worry. When I get out, I will kill all those little devils, and then return home in style. I will accompany you peacefully, and we will live a happy life together."

"I only have you in my life. There won't be any other woman. Xiaoyun and I are together. She can testify to this."

Just then, Jiang Jiyun walked over quickly with a box tightly in his hand.

When she saw Xiang Xiuying crying loudly, she couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, with a look of surprise on her face. She looked straight at Jiang Wenming and asked, "Uncle, did you bully my aunt? Why did you make my aunt cry so hard?"

Hearing this, Xiang Xiuying quickly raised her head, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands, and explained with a sob: "No, your uncle didn't bully me. It was because I knew he was leaving soon that I felt so sad that I couldn't help crying..."

Speaking of this, Xiang Xiuying herself felt somewhat puzzled. She was clearly not one who would cry easily in the past, so why was she so fragile today?

Jiang Wenming looked aggrieved and wronged and quickly waved his hands to deny, "I really didn't bully your aunt!"

"What? You dare to bully Xiuying?" At this moment, Jiang Jiancai, who happened to walk to the door and was about to admonish his son, heard that his younger son actually bullied his daughter-in-law. His originally calm voice instantly became rough.

His face was livid, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were wide open as if they were about to spit fire.

Then he turned around abruptly, reached out to take the feather duster from the wall, and then rushed into the house like an enraged lion and beat Jiang Wenming fiercely.

"Ouch! Dad, listen to me, I am really wronged!" Jiang Wenming was caught off guard and was hit twice by his father. He immediately screamed in pain.

Protecting his head with his hands, he jumped and ran out of the house.

However, Jiang Jiancai was not willing to let this ignorant little bastard off easily.

He tightly grasped the feather duster in his hand and chased after Jiang Wenming fiercely, shouting, "I must teach you a lesson today! I'll beat you to death, you heartless thing! Your mother and I have never had a quarrel in our lives, but what about you? You've just gotten married and you've become arrogant, haven't you? How dare you bully your wife!"

In the yard, the brothers Jiang Wenshun and Jiang Wenqi saw their younger brother being chased and beaten by their father and were about to step forward to mediate. However, when they heard the cause of the incident, they were so scared that they quickly shrank back to the corridor and stood in a row obediently, watching their father chasing after the third brother and beating him up.
