The young couple from the farm fights back

Chapter 118 The dying moment

The old man who was originally lying on the couch was helped to sit in front of the dressing table, his body swaying weakly in Jiang Li's arms.

The bright red brocade robe embroidered with a qilin pattern makes the old man look more noble and graceful.

Jiang Li picked up the gold and ruby headdress on the table with both hands, and together with the Mingwu family, helped the old man to secure it with a hairpin. The Mingshi family opened the rouge box, but was stopped by the island owner.

"No need to put on makeup."

The old man knew he couldn't hold on for long, and didn't want to waste time on this. He looked at himself in the mirror with tired eyes, as if he saw another young and innocent girl in the bronze mirror, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

She raised her hand and placed it on Jiang Li's wrist, her voice weak: "Let's go, take me to the front hall."

"Okay." Jiang Li suppressed the bitterness in his heart and gestured to the two people from the Mingwu family, saying, "Have someone prepare a sedan chair."

"Yes."

The island owner was in such a state that he couldn't even sit still, let alone stand up and take a few steps.

A quarter of an hour later, the guards waiting in the front hall finally saw the island owner coming on the bridge, and they all bowed and knelt on one knee.

"Subordinates, please greet the island master."

Jiang Li was walking beside the bridge and saw his brothers kneeling down with their parents, looking confused, not knowing what was going on.

Yuan Niang and Fang Shi also came, with Fang Shi holding Lan Jie'er in her arms.

At this moment, everyone knew that the island owner who had protected Changsheng Island and his people for many years was on his deathbed. His expression was sad, and tears were in his eyes.

Jiang Li helped the old lady sit on the soft seat at the top and let her lean slightly against the back of the chair.

Seeing the old lady's eyes fixed on Heng'er and the others, Jiang Li said slowly, "Heng'er, bring your brothers and sisters over to meet your great-grandmother."

The guards in the hall, Yuan Niang and others looked up at the island owner in shock again, and saw a faint hopeful smile on the island owner's sickly and dull face. What else was there to understand?

Some older people, such as Yuan Niang, remembered that the island owner had adopted a lost daughter. So, the miracle doctor might be the descendant of the lost daughter.

The incident happened too suddenly and everyone was unable to calm down for a while.

"Yes, mother." Heng Ge'er stood up confusedly and took his two younger brothers' hands, one on each side.

Jiang Li came down and took the girl from Fang's arms, and at the same time called Que'er: "Que'er, come too."

"Yes, aunt."

After all, Que Ge'er was older and knew what "great-grandmother" meant. At this moment, as he followed his aunt to meet the elders, the little guy felt a little nervous and uneasy.

"Brother Heng."

The children came forward and Jiang Li gestured again in a slow voice.

Heng Ge'er looked up at his mother, pursed his lips and looked at the strange old lady in front of him, then wisely knelt down with his brothers.

"Brother Heng [Brother Que], nice to meet your great-grandmother."

Jing Ge'er clearly looked like he hadn't woken up yet. He rubbed his eyelids and said, "Jing Ge'er, meet your great-grandmother."

Ang'er remembered that he had seen the old man in front of him during the day, but he seemed different and there was always something strange about him.

"Okay." The old island owner felt relieved and waved for them to stand up. "Come, let great-grandmother take a good look."

Heng'er and Que'er looked uneasily at their mother [aunt] standing beside them. At Jiang Li's nod, the two children bravely stepped forward with their younger brothers.

"That's great. Our Liu family is not without descendants."

Everyone below was shocked again. Did the island master really want to pass the position of island master to Lady Li?

It seems so. If Lady Li is really the island owner's adopted daughter, it would be natural for her to take over the position of island owner.

Ang'er rubbed his sleepy eyes, and no one knew what came to his mind. Suddenly, in front of everyone, he boldly took the old man's hand.

"Great-grandmother, give Ang'er a hug."

The old man was surprised for a moment, then laughed happily: "Okay."

Seeing this, Jiang Li hurriedly said, "Ang'er, stop messing around. Your great-grandmother is not feeling well, so how can she hold you?"

Hearing this, An Ge'er looked up at his mother and said, "If you want a hug, An Ge'er will stop feeling pain if you hug him."

The child's childish chatter added some affection between grandparents and grandchildren to the solemn scene, and accompanied by the old man's cheerful laughter, it made people feel a lump in their throat.

Ang'er was not afraid of strangers. He held the old man's hand, climbed onto the soft seat, and sat next to the old man.

"Great-grandmother is breathing, and An Ge'er is breathing for you. It doesn't hurt." The little boy held the old lady's hand, put it to his mouth and breathed on it, which made the island owner feel very soft-hearted.

"Okay, good boy, great-grandmother likes it."

After the island master finished speaking, he looked at the girl in Jiang Li's arms.

Seeing this, Jiang Li leaned forward slightly to let the old man see Lan Jie'er in his arms.

After the little girl woke up, she stared with her big round eyes and laughed silently with her toothless mouth, which was very adorable.

"Good, good." The old man said three good words again, "She is a good daughter."

Then, looking at Jiang Li, he said, "With your husband away, you've been tiring raising the children alone. In the future, with the help of our Changsheng Island people, you only need to guard this island for me and protect the descendants of the Daning Liu family."

The people kneeling below looked at each other in bewilderment. Then, when they looked at Jiang Li again, they no longer dared to be as disrespectful as before.

Jiang Li held the child and bowed slightly: "Yes."

The island master nodded in satisfaction and looked at the guards below him: "Everyone, get up."

"Yes, Island Master."

"From now on, my granddaughter, Lady Li, will be your master, the next ruler of Changsheng Island. You must be as loyal to her as you were to Daning before. Anyone who disobeys my order will be expelled from Changsheng Island forever."

"Yes." After the people below responded, they all bowed to Jiang Li at the same time: "Subordinates, greet Madam Li."

Jiang Li's face was calm, but his heart was actually already surging with emotions.

Who would have thought that she, an outsider, could have such a lucky life in such a short period of time, becoming like the king of finding bargains.

"Ming Ye!"

Suddenly, the island master called out to Ming Ye. Ming Ye, who was standing below him, was startled and replied with a bow, "I am here."

"I know you are sincere. Do you have any complaints about my punishment?"

"My subordinates dare not."

"Good." The island master nodded in satisfaction. He gently stroked An Ge'er's little head and continued to look at Ming Ye, saying, "You are indeed the descendant of General Zhang and Mr. Yuan."

Yuan Niang and Fang listened with their heads down, and tears welled up in their eyes again.

Everyone heard that the island master was asking Ming Ye to return to Jianglin Pavilion to serve.

"Thank you, your humble servant, for your generosity."

The island owner smiled faintly and said, "This is your opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Ming Ye inexplicably raised his head and saw that the island owner was looking at Li Niangzi standing beside him.

The young man immediately understood that he was able to return to Jianglin Pavilion because he had grasped the important position of Lady Li that day.

For this, I am extremely grateful to Jiang Li from the bottom of my heart.

For Yu Jiangli, the island owner clearly had another intention. It turned out that the island owner had paved the way for her last time, so he allowed Ming Ye to stay by her side and be reused.

When the other guards came to their senses, they all envied Ming Ye's luck. Not only could Ming Ye return to Jianglin Pavilion, but he would also become the most capable confidant of the new island master, Lady Li.
