Chapter 922 The Yue Family Has Gold Mine
Jiang Wenming's face showed an indescribable expression. He looked at his cousin, his heart full of entanglement and contradiction.
They were about to leave here tomorrow, but at this moment, his cousin suddenly announced that he was going to get married, which made Jiang Wenming feel a little overwhelmed.
The two sisters of the Yue family looked completely different, with happy smiles on their faces.
Before going home, they specially invited the dazed uncle and nephew to visit their Yue family.
Jiang Wenming looked at Yue Jiarou, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "Cousin, we may not be able to attend your wedding because we have to leave for our hometown early tomorrow morning."
When Yue Jiarou heard this, she turned around and her eyes fell on Jiang Wenxing.
She saw Jiang Wenxing nodded, and then she was sure that what Jiang Wenming said was true.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Yue Jiarou's face, and she whispered, "Are you leaving so soon?"
This was the first time she met Jiang Wenxing's family. She had been looking forward to spending more time with them, but she didn't expect them to leave so soon.
Jiang Jiyun noticed the disappointment on Yue Jiarou's face and quickly explained, "Aunt, we've been out for a while now, and the elders at home are very worried about us, so they've already planned tomorrow's itinerary and can't change it."
"But when you return to your hometown, we will definitely hold a banquet for you there to celebrate properly."
Jiang Jiyun stood in front of Yue Jiayu, raised his head, blinked his big eyes, looked at Yue Jiayu expectantly, and asked cautiously: "Auntie, can I take your pulse?"
Yue Jiayu looked down at the little guy in front of her who was only as tall as her chest, and a feeling of pity welled up in her heart.
She smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt a small force pulling her hand.
Before Yue Jiayu could react, Jiang Jiyun had already pulled her to the stone bench in the yard and motioned her to sit down.
Yue Jiayu was somewhat surprised at the child's decisiveness and initiative, but still sat down obediently.
Jiang Jiyun stood beside Yue Jiayu, stretched out his little hand and gently placed it on her wrist, carefully feeling the beating of her pulse.
After a while, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
After a moment, Jiang Jiyun raised his head, looked at Yue Jiayu, and asked seriously, "Auntie, when did you start to gain weight?"
Yue Jiayu's smile disappeared the moment she heard this question.
Her expression became somewhat solemn. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "About five years ago, I suddenly started to gain weight..."
There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Yue Jiayu's voice.
She recalled that time five years ago when her body started to gain weight without any warning. No matter how hard she tried to control her diet and exercise, her weight continued to increase day by day.
She also saw a doctor, but by the time she realized something was wrong with her body, it was too late.
The doctor told her that she was poisoned, but they could not find out what the poison was.
Since then, Yue Jiayu's life has been troubled by obesity.
She tried her best to control her diet, but her weight continued to expand like a balloon. Now, her weight has exceeded 200 kilograms.
Jiang Jiyun withdrew his hand and said to Yue Jiayu, "Aunt, you're not poisoned, you've been poisoned. This poison has probably been in your body for years. Have you offended any master?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Jiayu asked suspiciously, "Why don't you say that my family has offended some master?"
Jiang Jiyun didn't answer directly. Instead, he pointed to Yue Jiarou and explained, "Look at my aunt. She hasn't been poisoned. So we can rule out the possibility that your family has offended someone. In that case, the person who offended you is probably you."
When Yue Jiayu heard these words, his chubby fingers tapped lightly on the stone table, as if he was thinking about something.
After a while, she raised her head, looked directly at Jiang Jiyun, and asked, "So, can you remove the poison?"
Jiang Jiyun shook his head and answered truthfully, "My understanding of Gu magic is still limited. I have only been learning it for a dozen days. Moreover, this Gu has been lurking in your body for five years. It is not easy to remove it."
She did not tell Yue Jiayu the whole truth.
In fact, if spiritual water is used, there may be a glimmer of hope to lure the insect out of the body.
However, she knew nothing about the origin of the poisonous insect and the cause and effect behind it. If she rashly interfered with the cause and effect of others, she might probably bring herself an extremely powerful enemy.
Yue Jiayu lowered her voice and whispered, "What if I trade you the gold mine?"
Jiang Wenming's face showed a hint of doubt when he heard this. He sneered and responded, "Sister, this is a time of war! If there really were gold mines to be mined, you would have already done it yourselves. How could it be our turn?"
Jiang Jiyun sat on his uncle's lap, but his eyes were always on Yue Jiayu.
She carefully observed her expression and movements, then said calmly, "Your gold mine should be in Yun Province, right?"
Yue Jiayu's eyes met Jiang Jiyun's, and she looked at Jiang Jiyun's chubby face for a long time.
Yue Jiayu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Everyone in your family is very smart."
She elegantly picked up the tea Jiang Wenxing had poured, took a sip, and continued, "I went to Yun Province five years ago to buy the mine. I spent a lot of money to buy it back then."
"But who would have thought that right after I bought the mine, a large-scale war broke out across the country. The Japanese invaders were invading everywhere, and we had no way of mining the gold there. Fortunately, it was a new mine that hadn't been mined yet. It would be the same if we mined it after the war."
Jiang Jiyun became very interested in Yue Jiayu's story. She curiously asked, "Do you still remember how you offended people there?"
Yue Jiayu sighed, covered her face with her hands helplessly, and muttered to herself, "Alas..."
After a while, she slowly put her hand down and said with a wry smile, "I flirted with a handsome guy in the village. Does that count as offending anyone?"
Jiang Jiyun looked at her in surprise. "So it's a debt of love? No wonder they only made you fat and didn't kill you!"
Yue Jiayu sighed, but still unwilling to give up, she asked, "Is there really no other way?"
Jiang Jiyun shook his head and said, "Aunt, that's the debt of love you owe. You have to go find him, then you'll have an uncle!"
The other party didn't use the life-taking poison, which meant that he wanted her to come find him. What Jiang Jiyun couldn't understand was, is there really such a thing as someone who would wait for a lifetime because of a brief crush?
