His third younger brother, Jiang baishilang (he's Qiniang), went to huliao village, Dapu County, Chaozhou (now Meizhou, Guangdong Province) Later, he moved to xiaoliaoshui, Meihua village, Ruyuan County, Shaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and established his business; his fourth brother, Jiang baisilang (Hu's nine niangs), moved to getengao, Sanrao village, Raoping County, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, and settled down; his fifth brother, Jiang baisilang (Chen's ten niangs), moved to chendongkeng, his hometown, and then transferred to Xiage Town, Zhao'an County, Zhangzhou city; his sixth brother, Jiang baisilang (CAI's four niangs), an Tu Bu He moved to zhulitou village of Juxi (now Juxi village, Daxi Township, Yongding District, Longyan City); he lived in baishilang village of Qidi River (ten niangs of Tang family), Antu not moved to longxia village of Juxi (now Juxi village, Daxi Township, Yongding District, Longyan City).
