Shocking The World After Bringing My Family Back In Time!-Chapter 34

Selfish calculations

Jiang Xia’s words were clear, and old Sun’s wife also understood them. However, she still looked at the pile of meat and vegetables and was unwilling to give up. After looking around, Madam sun smiled apologetically and said, “How about this? I see that you have a lot of work to do at home. Tomorrow, I’ll ask your Uncle Sun to come and help.”

Seeing that Jiangxia wasn’t taking the bait, she had no other ideas. She knew that the deer could be exchanged for a lot of food. Letting her man bring their child here to eat would save a lot of food for the family. They could slack off when the rest was helping, it would not tire them out anyway.

“Oh right, Auntie, I just remembered now that you mentioned working. Just now, my mother told me that after the house is fully built and there is still some leftover food, we will share it with everyone. Even if everybody gets a handful, it’s still food, right?”

Upon hearing Jiang Xia’s words, the lady’s eyes lit up. That was great! Not only could her family do lesser work, but they could also get some food.

Only the lady was happy upon hearing this, others in the crowd were not. Before old Sun’s wife could speak, someone in the crowd shouted, “It’s just helping build a house, those that help out today are enough! We don’t need anyone else helping!”

Seeing that someone had spoken, the others followed suit.

The mother and daughter had indeed discussed this matter before. Previously, they only wanted to repay the villagers with something, but they were also afraid that some people only came for the sake of food and would get lazy. However, it would be a different story if they distributed the food.

Rather than eating them all, it was better for them to take them home and distribute them.

Seeing that there were people who were trying to ruin her plan, old Sun’s wife shouted, “Why are you guys the only ones who can help, but not my family? Jiang Chuan hadn’t even said anything! What are you not satisfied with?”

“Don’t use your little tricks here. If the child doesn’t understand what you’re planning, do you think we don’t?”

In a village, there were always a few families that didn’t get along with each other. The one who spoke up was a man who usually disliked old Sun’s family. As an honest farmer, he hated Jiang Gui and his gang for bullying others.

“We came to help Jiang Chuan when he had nothing. What do you mean by saying this now? You just want to gain something from this. Why is your skin so thick! Didn’t you hear what the little girl said? They’re only taking us to the mountain to repay us. You didn’t do anything, so why should they take you there?”

Old Sun’s wife got really angry. Seeing that everyone around her was laughing at her, she couldn’t stay any longer, she turned around to leave.

Seeing that the matter had passed and the crowd dispersed, the village chief slowly walked to the front of the family.

From the village chief’s point of view, he hoped that Jiang Chuan would tell the whole village where to dig for wild vegetables, but he also knew that whether it was wild vegetables or food, they were both scarce items. Whoever could find them was the lucky one. He really couldn’t use his status as an excuse to bully others.

Walking to Jiang Chuan, the village chief reached out his hand and patted Jiang Xia’s head. He smiled and said, “This child is smart and knows how to talk. It’s a good thing for her to move out.”

If Jiang Xia and Jiang Chuan were to say those words, they would have a completely different effect.

Jiang Chuan nodded with a smile. He knew that Jiang Xia had been a smart girl since she was a child. Therefore, whenever Jiang Xia had problems to deal with, the couple would give her some space to express her thoughts.

That night, the villagers who were building houses for the Jiang Chuan family had a full meal. It was just ordinary wild vegetable porridge, and they all had their usual appetites, but they felt that the porridge was delicious. They all planned to do more work starting tomorrow and help Jiang Chuan’s family build a house as soon as possible.

The next morning, the Jiang Chuan family left for the purchasing station.

The purchasing station was about 20 to 30 miles away from the Tong Shan Village. Jiang Chuan planned to drive the car out and only hide it when they see someone. The deer was really a silly animal. As long as Jiang Chaun’s daughter placed the wild vegetables in front of it, it would follow her without any rope.

However, plans change all the time. As soon as he reached the village entrance, he met the village chief and the others.

“Chief, are you waiting for us here?” Jiang Chuan quickly greeted him.
