Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Using Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia’s injuries as an excuse, Jiang Chuan and his wife delayed bringing the villagers up the mountain for a few days.

The villagers who had already gone up the mountain and knew the location of the wild vegetables were naturally happy, while the villagers who had not been able to go up the mountain could only vent their anger on Old Jiang’s family. In the past two days, Jiang Xia had inadvertently heard many villagers cursing Old Jiang’s family behind their backs.

Zhou Lan told her daughters about the miserable state of the Old Jiang family over the past two days, making the two of them laugh out loud.

“Mom, someone really said that about Grandma and the others?” Jiang Gu asked with her big round eyes.

“That’s right! Your grandmother! No one would believe her no matter what she said. She even said that you were deliberately angering her, but now! She doesn’t even dare to say a word against you.”

In fact, Zhou Lan had not only heard the villagers scolding Madam Jiang’s family but also how Madam Jiang had slandered her family in the past.

She said that she and Jiang Chuan were unfilial and that Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia were not good enough at a young age. They only knew how to eat and did nothing. At that time, someone refuted Madam Jiang and she said that Jiang Chuan’s family was just pretending in front of others.

After all, she was the mother. If she slandered Jiang Chuan’s family in front of outsiders, people who had never interacted with his family would really believe it.

Now, it could be considered that misfortune and fortune were intertwined, and they could lead a stable life.

“Xiao Gu, don’t listen to your mother’s nonsense. Come, I’ll continue teaching you how to write.”

In this era, pen and paper were scarce items, especially in the countryside. Jiang Xia picked up a wooden stick and taught Jiang Gu how to write on the ground in the courtyard.

Before grain production decreased, Jiang Chuan’s eldest daughter, Jiang Qing, and their second daughter, Jiang Xia, went to school for a few days. At that time, all the children of Old Jiang’s family went to school. Jiang Chuan had painstakingly begged for the opportunity.

However, he never got the chance when it came to Jiang Gu.

Jiang Xia believed that no matter what era it was, knowledge was the most reliable thing.

Seeing her two daughters getting along harmoniously, Zhou Lan smiled in relief.

The husband and wife were grinding the grain into powder, which could be used to make some dough soup or noodles. They could eat it for a longer time.

Although their daughter’s interspace was useful, if they ate too well at this time, they would be suspected.

Zhou Lan chuckled. “I’m so energetic just thinking about the strawberries later!”

When Jiang Gu heard Zhou Lan mention strawberries, she instantly perked up. Her sister said that if she learned today’s lesson, she would be rewarded with two more strawberries.

At this moment, the village chief came to the Jiang family’s house.

The door rang and Jiang Chuan and his family looked at each other. Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu entered the house quickly while Zhou Lan went to open the door.

Jiang Chuan welcomed the village chief into the house with a smile and asked, “Did anything happen chief?”

Compared to Jiang Chuan’s relaxed expression, the village chief’s face was solemn.

“Jiang Chuan, let’s go in and have a chat.”

Seeing that the village chief’s expression was not right, Jiang Chuan brought the village chief into the house.

When the two of them walked into the house, the village chief said,” Jiang Chuan! I talked to the elders in the clan today. The food this year might not be good. We might have to rely on wild vegetables for a long time in the future.”

Jiang Chuan listened attentively with a solemn expression.

The village chief paused for a moment before speaking with a hint of guilt.

“Jiang Chuan! Did your wife really only find a place to dig wild vegetables?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan finally knew why the village chief was there. Due to the bad weather this year, the village chief was worried that the villagers would not have any food to eat, so he came to ask if they knew more locations.

The village chief felt embarrassed. After asking this question, he let out a long sigh and did not say anything else.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Chief, this is the only place my family can find. Why don’t I talk to Zhou Lan? When the children are better, our family can go up the mountain a few more times.”

Probably because they had the experience of digging wild vegetables, the villagers were no longer afraid of going up the mountain these days. Instead, they were eager to try, hoping to bring back something from the mountain.

The village chief was also trying his best. Ever since Jiang Chuan’s family came down from the mountain, the village chief felt that he could see some hope..
