Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!-Chapter 31

Worth befriending

Jiang Xia blushed at her mother’s smile. Fortunately, the sky was getting dark and her embarrassment could not be seen clearly.

“Mum, you’re really something. You forgot about your daughter after seeing your husband!.” Jiang Xia said with a little anger.

“No way! I’m back now.” Zhou Lan said and picked up the deer. Jiang Chuan helped take the deer from Jiang Xia’s hand.

The family of three chatted as they walked into the village. Zhou Lan started sharing what they had encountered that afternoon and it got Jiang Chuan amazed.

“My daughter, our future path to wealth will depend on you.” Jiang Chuan joked.

Jiang Xia patted her chest cooperatively and said, “Leave it to me!”

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan were amused by Jiang Xia’s reaction. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly relaxed. They were sure that their family would have a good life in the future.

“Oh right, where’s Xiao Gu? She must be exhausted today!”

“Yes, she was asleep when I came out. The village chief is looking after her!”

“Oh,” Jiang Xia replied and slowed down to look at the deer that had given up struggling.

“Dad, how should we deal with this deer? Do you want to take it home?”

Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan looked at each other and stopped walking. They were still not used to their current life and had not thought about the problems they would have to deal with later.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment and said, “How about this? Take this deer to the purchasing station to exchange for some rice, flour, and daily necessities.”

The current purchasing station could be used to exchange for a lot of things. Meat or eggs could be exchanged for money, or other food and daily necessities.

Since they lived near the mountain, a lot of villagers actually knows how to hunt.

After every day’s farming work was completed, hunters were allowed to go up the mountain to hunt. Of course, in this era where private trading was not supported, private sales were definitely not allowed, so they had set up the purchasing station.

Although the three of them had come up with a plan, they couldn’t just sell it directly. They had to let everyone have a look. Otherwise, they would be questioned when they suddenly exchanged so much food.

So when Jiang Chuan and his family appeared in front of everyone with the deer, everyone was dumbfounded.

The village chief was the first to react when he asked, “Zhou Lan, did you and your second daughter hunt this?”

“No, no, we bumped into them when we were picking wild vegetables,” Zhou Lan quickly denied. I don’t know if he fainted from hunger or what, but he hit a tree in front of us.”

When the village chief heard Zhou Lan’s words, the corners of his mouth almost twitched and trembled. The entire village had gone up the maintain to look for them yesterday, but no one saw any deer.

“Zhou Lan, you brought your second girl up the mountain? It’s too dangerous.” One of the men who was helping out wiped his sweat and asked.

“There were no more wild vegetables to pick here, so mother and I thought of going to the foot of the mountain to dig some back. You all volunteered to help us build our house, and we wanted to thank you all with some food”

Jiang Xia said as she walked out from behind her parents and showed them a big basket of wild vegetables.

Seeing so many wild vegetables, the villagers got even more speechless. It was impossible to say that they weren’t jealous, but they felt that they were. After all, the young lady and her mother went up to the mountain to look for food to cook for them.

Jiang Xia knew what they were thinking when she saw their complicated expressions. She said, “Uncles, my parents discussed it. Tomorrow morning, we will send the deer to the purchasing station to exchange for some food. These few days, the uncles that have helped us build our houses, we must make sure you all don’t go hungry! There are also wild vegetables. When we have time in the afternoon, mother and I will bring aunties there. Mother said that it’s not easy for everyone now, and now that we found some food, it’s good to share with everyone.”

Upon hearing Jiang Xia’s words, the eyes of all the villagers who had come to help light up.

Previously, they had come to help because of the village chief, but now they were willing to do so. They were all not very close with Jiang Chuan’s family before and they didn’t know what kind of a man he was. Now, they could see that he was someone worth befriending.

While the villagers were still immersed in the wonderful thought of having food and vegetables to eat, the village chief had already calmed down and was taking a few more glances at Jiang Xia. From the long string of words that this little girl had said when they were moving out, it seemed that she was no longer so timid.
