Chapter 32
Dinner time
Patting Jiang Chuan’s shoulder, the village leader said, “Jiang Chuan, your family is blessed and they all had such good hearts. In the future, you should talk more and keep in touch with everyone.”
Hearing the chief’s words, the rest of the people quickly echoed.
“Yup! Jiang Chuan was blessed, and so were his wife and daughter. I’ve never seen wild vegetables that look so good in all these years!”
At this time, Jiang Gu was also woken up by the discussion of the crowd. The village chief had asked the other children to go back before dark.
After all, everyone knew that Jiang Chuan left his previous family with nothing, but they didn’t expect his wife to really get food back.
Jiang Gu walked to the crowd in a daze and tugged at the hem of a man’s clothes, “Uncle, have my parents and sister returned?”
The man lowered his head and saw that it was Jiang Gu. He immediately smiled, “They are back! Your mother and sister even brought back food!”
After saying that, the man carried Jiang Gu and shouted, “Jiang Chuan, your little daughter is awake.”
The man’s words immediately attracted the attention of the Jiang family members. He then carried Jiang Gu to Jiang Chuan and placed her in his arms.
“Mother, uncle said you brought back food. Is that true?” Jiang Gu asked, rubbing her eyes.
Jiang Gu, a nine-year-old child, had been exhausted during this period of time.
“Xiao Gu, look!” Jiang Xia first raised the wild vegetables in front of Jiang Gu and her eyes lit up at the sight of so many wild vegetables. It was as if she could smell the fresh fragrance of these wild vegetables.
“So many! Mom! Sister! You guys are amazing!”
Looking at Jiang Gu’s greedy face, Jiang Xia was secretly happy and continued, “And …”
“There are more?” Jiang Gu’s eyes widened.
At this moment, Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan cooperated and separated, leaving a gap in the middle.
Jiang Gu was so excited that she couldn’t even understand what he was saying. She could only look at her father with her big eyes.
“We can exchange food for our family!” Jiang Chuan said to Jiang Gu with a smile.
Jiang Gu covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with surprise.
The people around her were all amused by her cute reaction, and laughter could be heard in front of the house that had yet been built.
Although they were in a good mood, they were still hungry. Seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the Jiang Chuan family quickly thanked everyone who had helped.
Jiang Chuan asked the village chief for some rice and promised to return it the next day. However, before the village head could answer, someone spoke first, “The chief’s house is far away, you can use mine first!”
Jiang Chuan didn’t say much and followed them to get the rice.
Since Jiang Chuan family still had no proper house, they had built a simple stove for the family. Of course, the pot was borrowed from the neighbor.
Jiang Xia followed Zhou Lan to the village’s well to draw water. Jiang Gu didn’t know what to do, she could only run and jump around happily in front of the house.
Jiang Xia helped her mother pull the bucket up and added some water from the interspace. She could let them drink the water from the interspace as if they were her family, but she also hoped that these kind people could lead a better life. So she didn’t know if mixing the water would still have the same effect, but she still tried.
Just as Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan arrived at their neighbor’s house, they saw a woman standing in front of Jiang Chuan’s house, asking him something.
“Why are you looking for my wife?” Jiang Chuan’s tone was distant and impatient.
“I just saw that your wife found a lot of wild vegetables that look quite good! I also want to ask where you found it.”
Jiang Xia recognized the voice immediately. It was a lady from the Sun’s family. She was very close to Jiang Gui’s wife. Since Jiang Gui had been doted on by the Jiang family since he was a child, he had a strong body. He had been the leader of the gangsters since he was a child. The Sun family’s son followed him everywhere he went, and it was because of this that the Sun family’s daughter-in-law was in a hurry to get close to Jiang Gui’s wife.
It was also these two women who always worked together to bully Zhou Lan every time they saw her.
