Chapter 26
Hide the good stuff
Jiang Xia walked to the ruins and sat down on a rock with a sigh. Does this mean they are going to live on the streets?
Zhou Lan walked to Jiang Chuan’s side and put her head on his shoulder. She mumbled, “When people transmigrate, they end up as the young ladies of wealthy families or the daughters of warlords. Why are we the only ones who ended up becoming a pitiful family? I felt so suffocated before, I didn’t even dare to speak because I was afraid of dragging you two down. ”
“I was wondering why you were so quiet,” Jiang Chuan said thoughtfully, “Now that we’re out, you can say whatever you want. No one will stop you even if you shout into the megaphone.”
“You’re still in the mood to tease me!” Zhou Lan pouted in dissatisfaction and punched Jiang Chuan’s shoulder, which almost caused internal injuries.
Rubbing his shoulder, Jiang Chuan said, “Sweetheart, do you want to send to the hospital? You used too much strength!”
“Ah? No! I …”
Before she could finish, Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan looked at each other as if they had just realized something. Zhou Lan walked to a pile of ruins and chose a huge rock. She held it with both hands, exerted force, and lifted the rock.
“Mum, what are you doing?” Jiang Xia asked. She ignored the public display of affection her parents had just shown to the back of her head and followed her mother with Jiang Gu following behind her.
“I am so strong,” Zhou Lan said while looking at her hands in disbelief. Although she had felt that her strength had increased, she did not realize it had increased this much. It seemed that she had only truly gained the power after she had slept.
“Mother is so powerful!” Jiang Gu praised as she clapped her hands.
“Xiao Gu!” Jiang Xia pulled Jiang Gu aside and said, “You can’t tell anyone that mother is strong!”
Jiang Gu nodded after some thought. She knew that sometimes good things have to be hidden. She remembered when she was in the second grade when a child brought a stunning doll to school. The next day after school, he found that it broke.
If the villagers knew that her mother was strong, many people would want her mother to work for them. Even her grandparents would make her mother go home.
Jiang Xia was very fond of Jiang Gu’s obedience. Jiang Xia kissed her on the cheek, making Jiang Gu so embarrassed that even her neck turned red.
When Jiang Gu saw her parents and sister smiling at her, she was so embarrassed that she turned around and started running away. As she ran, she didn’t forget to shout, “I’ll go and tell Grandpa chief about the situation!”
Jiang Gu ran so fast that Jiang Chuan and the other two didn’t even have a chance to stop her.
Ever since their family arrived, they had caused a lot of trouble for the village chief. They didn’t want to disturb the chief, but now that there was no choice.
“Dad, the old house has collapsed. It will take at least three or four days to rebuild it. Shall we build a straw shed and live in it for a few days?”
Zhou Land and Jiang Xia watched many melodramatic romance and survival films back in the modern world, and now it is coming in handy.
Jiang Chuan had nothing to say when he heard the suggestion. It wasn’t like he had any other ideas.
“Okay, your mother and I will clean up these stones first. You go and collect the wheat straws that can still be used.”
The three of them got to work immediately. With Zhou Lan’s power, it was not difficult for the couple to move the stones.
After moving two large rocks, Jiang Chuan suddenly remembered that his youngest daughter had said she would find the village chief. What would they say if the village chief came and saw that the work was done?
As soon as Jiang Chuan stopped his wife, he heard some conversations from a distance. Zhou Lan had good eyesight and saw a group of children running over, and Jiang Gu was leading them.
When they got closer, the three of them saw that there was a group of adults following behind.
Jiang Gu’s face was covered in sweat as she ran in front of them, “Dad! Mum! I met some friends on the road and they said they wanted to help us build a house.”
Jiang Xia roughly counted eight or nine children around Jiang Gu’s age. She could not help but be impressed by her little sister’s popularity!
Jiang Gu and Jiang Xia welcomed their children, while Jiang Chuan and his wife welcomed the village chief and his people.
The village chief had indeed forgotten that the house had collapsed. He had wanted to give Jiang Chuan and his family a place to stay, but he didn’t expect something like that to happen.
