When Jiang Yue got home, the family had already started dinner, and no one was waiting for her.
Fortunately, she secretly ate the buns herself.
Seeing her coming back, Eugene Hua raised his thin eyelids and said, "Put the clothes to dry."
Then he said, "It takes so long to wash clothes. I'm really lazy!"
Jiang Dagui frowned, "Mom, please stop being so nagging. It's very annoying."
Eugene Hua immediately shut up, and with a smile, like an old chrysanthemum in full bloom, put vegetables in the bowl for his precious eldest son, "Okay, okay, mother was wrong, mother didn't say anything."
Jiang Yue glanced over and met Jiang Dagui's eyes.
She felt a thump in her heart and turned around to hang clothes in the backyard.
Jiang Dagui was more than a year older than her, with a height of 1.65 meters and a shriveled face with pits. The way he looked at Jiang Yue was vulgar and disgusting.
Jiang Yue casually put her clothes on the rope, and then took the basin to the river to collect water. She didn't know how much dust had accumulated on her body, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She put the basin next to the bed and didn't wash it yet. She planned to wait until it was quiet at night and then slowly wipe herself.
At night in the ancient countryside, there was no entertainment except for things in bed.
Coupled with Eugene's stinginess, there are no candles in the house.
Once it gets dark, no one in this house will come out and walk around.
The window paper on the window of Jiang Yue's small house was in tatters and she had no money to buy it, so she could only cover it with straw.
When she took off her shoes and was about to untie her clothes, she felt a strong feeling of being spied on!
She remained calm, but put down the buttons and put her feet directly into the basin. Just wash her hands and feet tonight.
It was silent outside the window, and the bright moonlight filtered in.
She caught a glimpse of a dark figure standing by the window. There was a faint sound of heavy breathing in the darkness.
She closed her eyes, clenched her fists, and quickly washed her feet without pouring water. She got directly into the ragged quilt with her back to the window.
She didn't know when the person outside left. Jiang Yue was so worried that she didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, but was woken up again not long after.
With a sullen face, she lit the fire and went into the mountains without even serving the food.
Eugene Flower was so happy that he didn't even give her a drink of water to wash the pot.
Jiang Yue's five senses were relatively sharp. When she walked out of the house, she could feel an explicit gaze staring at her from behind, making her whole body tingle.
She knew that she had to find someone to marry. Otherwise, the situation in this family will only become more and more dangerous.
But getting married doesn’t mean going to the street and dragging someone into the bridal chamber. If you don’t keep it together, you’re stepping out of the jackal’s den and into the wolf’s den!
Uncle Jiang's house is located in the middle of the village.
She walked through the village and met the industrious villagers who got up early and went to the fields to pull weeds.
She returned to her usual taciturn and timid nature, and responded timidly, earning praise from all the villagers.
What I like most here are people who are obedient and work hard.
After entering the mountain, she first went to the big pit where she fell yesterday. Looking down, there was only a pool of blood on the ground and a handful of wolf hair that she had cut off.
It must have been saved, right?
Jiang Yue felt relieved and randomly picked up weeds and stuffed them into her backpack as she walked. Anyway, the little piglet didn't grow any meat. Even if it did, it would only be sold and would not get into her mouth. As long as it doesn't die, it will be fine.
There were many climbing plants in the mountains, but she had a good eye and saw the one she wanted at a glance.
She squatted down, first picked off a larger green leaf next to it, wrapped it in her hand, and then pulled out the itchy grass.
Her mission today is to find this kind of grass. She discovered it accidentally yesterday and remembered the location.
After wrapping the straw and putting it in her backpack, she was about to go back when the feeling of being spied on came back.
She turned around quickly, but found no sign of anyone.
This location is between the front mountain and the deep mountain, so it’s not like no one comes here. However, following behind silently is very problematic.
She squatted down and picked up a sharp stone.
Then, slowly walked forward.
"Who's there?"
No one answered.
In the quiet mountain forest, you can occasionally hear the chirping of birds and insects. The trees cover the sky and the sun, and you feel a sense of suffocation.
She swallowed and walked forward.
Suddenly, a thin rustling sound came.
She slammed the stone in her hand into the bushes, seemingly missing.
But a pheasant flew towards her and fell at her feet.
Jiang Yue was shocked.
"Who?! Is there anyone?! Come out!"
Her voice echoed in the huge mountains, but no one responded.
Seeing that no one appeared in front of her, she gently kicked the pheasant with her foot and found that it was half dead.
Jiang Yue's eyes were sharp, "Who is pretending? Get out of here!"
In the quiet space, only the chirping of birds and the sound of wind can be heard.
She slowly squatted down, picked up the chicken's neck, and inspected it carefully. She found nothing wrong with the chicken.
It's quite a fat pheasant.
"If you don't come out, I will take this chicken away." Jiang Yue put the chicken in the basket and walked down the mountain quickly, at a speed that was almost like running.
If she turned around, she would see a wild wolf walking out of the bushes, its amber pupils staring closely at her.
When Jiang Yue was approaching the foot of the mountain, she looked around and saw no one, so she quickly put the pheasant into the space. Then he walked slowly into the village.
Today is late May. Except for three-year-old Jiang Xiaohua, who is locked in the room and sleeping, the uncle's family of four have gone to the fields to pull weeds.
If weeds are not pulled out, the harvest will be affected, which is a major issue for farmers.
The reason why Jiang Yue didn't have to go was because she had to feed pigs, cook, wash clothes, carry water, and cut firewood. In short, she didn't have to go to the fields to pull weeds, she had to do all the other work.
But no one in the village could see it. Except for a few neighbors close to the uncle's house who knew the truth, the other families in the village praised them. They treated their niece better than their own son, and they didn't even need to leave the ground.
After being praised, Eugene Flower even inadvertently said something about her niece's laziness, which made them appear more tolerant.
He is really good at pulling and stepping.
Jiang Yue took the gravel and pounded the itchy grass into juice. Then, he went under the eaves and used straw to smear it on the collars, chests, and trousers of that family's clothes.
After Jiang Yue applied the juice, she buried all the crime tools in the backyard.
Seeing that it was getting late, she went into the kitchen and cooked food for them.
Eugene was as wary of her as he was of thieves, so he locked the grain in the cupboard, and that was not all, he also had to lock the cupboard into the house.
Jiang Yue didn't care, since she was a big food farmer now, so she had no shortage of corn porridge.
She cooked it casually, put it in a basket and took it to the fields.
Well, she wouldn't say that she added some ingredients to it, let alone that the ingredients were taken out of the pigsty.
As for Jiang Xiaohua, since Eugene Hua didn't give any instructions, she just ignored it. My own mother doesn't care anyway, why does she care so much?
What's more, she was also a "shrew reserve". At a young age, she bossed her around without any courtesy or education. Looking at her age at three years old, she is a complete replica of Eugene Flowers.
