Chapter 71: Shameless
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Chuan’s family was not one to procrastinate. With a plan in mind, the family of four led everyone up the mountain in less than two days under the village chief’s organization.
This time, almost all the villagers were present. Jiang Xia even saw her aunties in the crowd. It was likely that Jiang Gui and Jiang Hua were too embarrassed to come.
Jiang Xia glanced at the disgusted expressions of the people standing beside Old Jiang’s two daughters-in-law, as well as the village chief’s frown, and she had a rough idea.
Presumably, Old Jiang’s family had secretly followed them. It would be difficult for Old Jiang’s family not to know about such a big commotion. However, Jiang Xia was surprised that Old Sun’s wife did not follow them.
At this moment, Jiang Xia’s eyes met with a woman. The woman was famous for being a quiet person in the village. She had been living alone since she arrived in the village.
Although the woman didn’t speak and usually had a cold face, she was pretty. A lot of the males in the village tried to hit on her, but it did not work. After being harassed a few times, the woman started raising two big dogs.
However, the woman actually smiled at Jiang Xia when she looked at her.
…..
Jiang Xia blinked twice to make sure that she wasn’t looking delusional. Somehow, it improved Jiang Xia’s mood.
Overall, the development of digging wild vegetables was considered satisfactory.
The villagers who helped their family had already changed the wild vegetables twice and received better food.
Those who didn’t help her family will also manage to get food later, but the amount they got was smaller. It was good as it wouldn’t make those who helped her family feel unfair.
The village chief’s wife walked to Zhou Lan’s side and said, “Zhou Lan, when I went back the other day, I heard from my old man that your family is willing to help us find more places with wild vegetables. Thank you so much!”
“You’re too polite!” Zhou Lan said with a smile, “We just happened to encounter this wild vegetable. We’ll have to see if we can find it in the future.”
Hearing Zhou Lan’s words, the village chief’s wife nodded and then shifted her gaze to the two women from Old Jiang’s family. She sighed and said, “Zhou Lan, my husband didn’t send them here.”
Because of the theft and beating incident, the village chief knew that Jiang Chuan’s family and Old Jiang’s family were like fire and water. Therefore, the village chief informed each villager one by one. However, Old Jiang’s family still found out in the end.
Zhou Lan smiled magnanimously, indicating that she was fine.
Not only was Zhou Lan happy, but Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were also secretly watching the show. They pricked up their ears to hear how the two from the Jiang family were being scolded.
“You guys are really thick-skinned. You stole other people’s things, hit other people’s children, and you’re even shameless enough to dig vegetables that they found. Your old woman is shameless, and you guys are even more shameless.”
Jiang Hua’s wife didn’t want to come at first but she was forced by her mother-in-law when she said she will sell off her daughter. Therefore, she didn’t get a choice and could only come here to be mocked.
As soon as the blind woman spoke, someone immediately followed, not giving Jiang Gui’s wife a chance to retort.
“How shameless! Asking you two to come. Where is the old lady? Why isn’t she here? If you manage to harvest more crops maybe you can even burn it for her when she is gone.”
Jiang Xia snickered at the side. If words really had powers, the woman would have cursed Madam Jiang to death with just one sentence.
Along the way, the two daughters-in-law of the Jiang family walked at the back.
At first, Jiang Gui’s wife was still a little talkative, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she attracted more abuse. Later on, she learned from Jiang Hua’s wife and kept quiet.
This time, Jiang Xia realized that there was a small patch of wild vegetables missing. Although there were still a lot of them, the remaining wild vegetables would not last the villagers for a month.
It seemed that after this, she would have to let her father and the village chief plan carefully about digging wild vegetables..
