Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Xia and her father looked at each other. Although they had some dealings with the man from town, it wasn’t to the point of saying that it was a way out. However, it was true that her family would not stave to death, so there is no need to correct the village chief’s words.
As for why the village chief thought so, he had to talk about Xiao Wu, who often went to town with Jiang Chuan’s family.
Because every time he or the villagers hunted prey, the man would give them a pound or two in exchange for food, Xiao Wu felt that Jiang Chuan’s family had a good relationship with the man, so he came back and shared with the village chief.
When the matter was almost finished, the villagers left one after another. The first to leave was Madam Sun.
Jiang Xia was not someone to be trifled with. Before Madam Sun left, she even specially asked, “Auntie, is there anything you’re not satisfied with? We’re all from the same village. If you have any questions, just ask us.”
Although Madam Sun was thick-skinned, she still couldn’t bear to listen to people whispering to her face. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she left dejectedly.
After the villagers left, only Jiang Chuan, his daughter, and the village chief were left.
“Thank you, Chief.” Jiang Chuan smiled at the village chief. “Otherwise, the villagers would be gossiping behind our backs.”
The village chief waved his hand and sighed. “I didn’t expect them to have so many thoughts. This can be considered as clearing your family’s name.”
In fact, the whole thing was not because the villagers were black-hearted, but because someone with ulterior motives had led the way. The village chief treated his family well, and his family repeatedly hunted prey and brought back food, which made some people jealous. Therefore, there were speculations behind their backs.
After the village chief said that, he shifted his gaze to Jiang Xia and sighed. “Xiao Xia is a good girl!”
Jiang Xia’s face turned red from the village chief’s praise.
Jiang Xia had always been smart. But due to her personality in the past, she did not dare to voice out her opinions. This was probably the biggest difference between Jiang Xia from this world and Jiang Xia from the modern world.
The village wasn’t big, so the news that Jiang Chuan’s family was preparing to enter the mountain quickly spread. At the same time, the reason why Jiang Chuan was going into the mountain also spreaded.
Although no one thought or expected Jiang Chuan’s family to really bring anything back, they were still touched after hearing the village chief’s words, and their impression of Jiang Chuan’s family increased.
While there are people who were happy, there were also people who were worried. Those who were worried are naturally those who instigated Madam Sun to cause trouble.
Hearing Jiang Gui’s wife reenacts the situation with Jiang Chuan’s family just now, Madam Jiang smashed a water jar.
Sun Li was a man who did not dare say anything while his wife was someone who could not keep her mouth shut.
Madam Jiang was well aware of this, so she asked Jiang Gui’s wife to urge Madam Sun to go around and tell everyone that Jiang Chuan had bought a lot of things from town. It was the reason why so many villagers went to ask the village chief what was happening.”
“Mother, what should we do this time? Not only did we not get any benefits, but we also succeeded in improving Jiang Chuan’s reputation.” Jiang Gui’s wife asks gloomily.
Madam Jiang’s eyes were also filled with hatred. Ever since the family split with Jiang Chuan, the family had never stopped arguing. At first, she thought that her second daughter-in-law was stable and easy to control. Who would have thought that she would be so difficult to deal with? Just by asking her to do more work, she could cause chaos in the family.
After that, Jiang Chuan found wild vegetables and caught roe deer. Madam Jiang was so jealous that she was filled with anger.
Madam Jiang did not expect that Jiang Chuan’s family had only taken a few tattered clothes and a small tattered bag when they left. Jiang Gui’s wife was still watching them, trying to make she they will not take anything.
However, people who were fundamentally bad would naturally only think in their own direction. The truth was not worth mentioning in front of them.
“Humph! I think they won’t be able to live to hear it anymore.” Madam Jiang did not hide the malice in her words at all..
