Chapter 47: Hearts not at the same place

Old Sun’s wife’s face turned pale after hearing Jiang Xia’s words.
Someone next to her sneered, “Yeah! Even a child knows that one should not take advantage of others. You as an adult don’t understand that logic? What makes you think we will let you know the location just because you ask?”
Madam Sun knew that she couldn’t win the argument so she said, “Just wait! 1 will make you regret it one day!”
After finishing what she had to say, she left with her other followers.
After Madam Sun left, Jiang Xia was starting to worry. She had originally wanted to keep the plot of land with the wild vegetables a secret for as long as possible, but it seemed like it was not possible now.
Now that Madam Sun had made the matter clear, it was hard to guarantee what everyone was thinking and their secret might just get out soon.
Beside her, Zhou Lan stroked her head and smiled. “Why are you sighing? It’s said that sighing will take away all your good luck.”
…..
Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan were whispering to each other at the back of the group, “Mom, we’ll have to rethink our original plan.”
Zhou Lan did not have much of an opinion. She only smiled and said, “Plans don’t change as fast as changes. There must be ups and downs in life to prove that you’re still alive!”
She continued to comfort Jiang Xia, “Don’t worry about everything on your own. Let dad and mom share your burden.”
Jiang Xia nodded. It was useless for her to think about it now. She would figure it out when problems arise.
After thinking it through, Jiang Xia was no longer upset and returned to the newly built house and started helping her mother with her work.
By the time the roof of the house was sealed, it was already late in the afternoon and the neighbors started bringing out tables.
As there was a wide variety of wild vegetables, Zhou Lan also made vegetable pancakes and a few stir fry vegetables. They were very delicious and the only flaw was that there was no meat.
Jiang Xia’s new house had two bedrooms, a living room, and a small kitchen. In this era, the bathroom was built outside the house with a small courtyard. Although it was small, it had all the essentials.
It was impossible for Jiang Xia not to be excited when she saw the first home that belonged to them since they came to this world. However, she managed to control herself and did not run around the house like Jiang Gu.
Because they didn’t bring anything with them when they left the Jiang family’s house, they could only use a thatched mat to lay the brick bed first. They will change it when they went to town.
When everyone left after dinner, Jiang Chuan requested the village chief to stay a little longer.
When Jiang Xia came back, she told her father about what had happened with Old Sun’s wife previously. Jiang Chuan knew that it was not an easy task, and he had to ask the village chief for help.
“Did Old Sun really tell you that?” The village head asked with a frown after Zhou Lan told him about her encounter with Madam Sun.
There were five people sitting in the newly built house. They were the village chief, his wife, Jiang Chuan, Zhou Lan, and Jiang Xia. Jiang Gu had gone to play with her friends. It was good that the children did not know what they were talking about.
The village chief’s wife saw her husband looking at her and nodded, “Madam Sun has always been like this. She’s always trying to take advantage of others. With her ruffian-like behavior, not many people can go against her.”
The village chief’s wife rarely spoke harshly, but she must have been angered by Old Sun’s wife to have said it all.
The village chief was helpless and did not have any good ideas. There were only two possible outcomes for this matter to develop to this point.
One was that the people who knew the location of the wild vegetables kept quiet and the other was that Jiang Chuan family would have to compromise and reveal the location.
In that case, those who didn’t work for the Jiang family would also benefit, and it would inevitably make those who helped feel that it was unfair.
Either of these two choices would be disadvantageous to the Jiang family.
Jiang Xia knew the other solution was to use the water from her interspace to grow more crops when the wild vegetables were gone and bring the villagers to the new area.
However, she did not want to use this method until she was left with no choice..
