Chapter 114 How about leaving some for them?
The rest of the Jiang family looked at each other, not understanding how things could turn out this way.
"Don't think about them. I caught two big fish and two turtles today." Jiang Youzhen picked up the forgotten wooden barrel and planned to make his family happy.
However, Shen hugged Jiang Youzhen tightly and cried heartbreakingly.
"That was a close call! He almost died, my son."
The three sisters also wiped their tears, hugged them and cried.
Jiang Fugui's eyes were also filled with tears, and he stepped forward and used his not-so-tall body to embrace everyone. At this moment, Jiang Youzhen only felt that their hearts were tightly pressed together.
"I'm fine, right? If you survive a disaster, you'll have good fortune in the future! There has never been a time when you didn't get hurt. Stop crying, I'm hungry after struggling in the water. Let's cook!"
Jiang Youzhen's words made Shen hug her and cry again. Jiang Youzhen comforted her for a while, and then the whole family started killing fish and turtles, preparing to give Jiang Youzhen some nourishment.
Jiang Youzhen didn't say anything about the pearls, it was really hard to explain. Next time I go to the county town, I will sell the pearls and make some jewelry with the remaining ones to add to the makeup of the three sisters.
Just when they had killed the fish and were washing rice and cooking, Gao Shan and his two companions came back again. This time they were carrying thin bedding, some worn-out clothes, and three chipped bowls.
Guozi lowered her head, her voice choking with sobs, "Grandma kicked us out and didn't even let us in. She said that we would be servants of the Jiang family from now on, and it would have nothing to do with her."
The other two were silent again, but they looked dejected, with low pressure surrounding them.
"We don't have a place to live, we only have a cowshed. You guys can squeeze in there at night, and Guozi can sleep in the kitchen."
Jiang Youzhen also knew that it was useless to say more. The original kitchen had been divided, half of it was used as a barn and the other half as a kitchen. They had no choice but to live like this.
This old lady is really ruthless and a character. She just has an unpromising son, otherwise she wouldn't have ended up like this.
"I don't keep idlers in my family. Now that you're here, get to work! Guozi, go cook, and the two of you go chop wood."
Jiang Youzhen didn't ask for other people's opinions. How could the three sisters and the Shen couple order these three people around? It would be better for her to speak up.
"Fourth sister, please watch over Guozi while she cooks, to prevent them from harboring resentment and putting drugs in our food."
When Si Ya heard this, her eyebrows that were originally raised straightened instantly, and she said to Guozi unhappily, "Come with me!"
"No, we dare not!" Guozi waved his hands quickly, his face full of horror.
"Just because my family has just started to live a good life, that old lady is really smart. She can't support her own family, so she abandons our family..." Si Ya's voice floated over from the kitchen. Jiang Youzhen pursed his lips and smiled. Fourth sister is the one who manages this family clearly.
Although people have come, Jiang Youzhen will not really believe them. They will go to work in the farm from now on. It would be better to buy some people to serve him!
Gao Shuisheng dragged his sick body to work, but fainted after working for a while. The father and daughter burst into tears, and people almost thought Gao Shuisheng was gone.
Jiang Fugui couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Doctor Liang to prescribe medicine for the boy, and only then did he calm down.
Si Ya immediately said in dissatisfaction: "His father broke it, and we have to pay to have it fixed. What kind of thing is this?"
Dinner consisted of braised herring, turtle soup, and bacon and cabbage.
Unexpectedly, Guozi's cooking skills were quite good. During the journey, even Shen only helped her, but she cooked very well. I guess she did it to show off. Anyway, she was very efficient and diligent.
When the fragrant cornmeal cakes and white rice were served on the table, the aroma penetrated into her nose, and even her fourth aunt Luo kept lingering outside the door. Unfortunately, no matter how she yelled and scratched the door outside, Jiang Youzhen and the others just ignored her.
However, despite the delicious food, no one was eager to eat. After everyone sat down, no one started eating and instead became absent-minded.
Gao Shan and the other two did not appear in the house, but the Jiang family could not ignore their presence.
"How about leaving some for them? If they really starve to death in our house, it won't sound good if people tell others about it." Erya spoke first. Although she still hated this family in her heart, she was kind-hearted.
Especially since she had a good relationship with Guozi before, she really couldn't bear it when she saw Guozi drinking cold water because of hunger while cooking.
The others were silent. Shen was also a soft-hearted person, but when she thought of what Gao Shuisheng had done, she felt a little angry.
"Oh! You can't let people starve to death, right? Guozi did nothing wrong." Jiang Fugui likes his niece Guozi very much. If Erlang was a son, he would have really taken Erlang to Gaoshan's family to propose marriage.
Watching the family making excuses for their kindness, Jiang Youzhen took the lead in picking up a steamed bun and placing it in Shen's bowl.
"What are you thinking about? I just picked out some food and sent it to them. Who knows if what they cooked is poisonous? Of course they should try it first." Jiang Youzhen picked up the big steamed bun and took a bite, the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth.
The whole family couldn't help laughing, and Si Ya couldn't hold it back either, "You! You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't be like this in the future, it's easy to be misunderstood! You did a good thing, but people don't appreciate your kindness."
"Then just treat me as a bad guy! Anyway, being a bad guy is easier than being a good guy." Jiang Youzhen didn't care. Good people are often bullied. Only if you go crazy from time to time will others be afraid of you and be wary of you.
In the kitchen, on a shabby little wooden table, there was a bowl of braised fish and a bowl of fried bacon and cabbage, and in a small basket were six large white steamed buns.
The father and daughter sat around the table, but no one picked up their chopsticks.
A sob was heard, and Guozi wiped away tears, "The Jiang family is full of good people!"
Gao Shan's eyes also filled with tears, his face full of regret. He touched his daughter's head and said, "Eat! Do more work in the future."
The two of them only left a little and brought it to Gao Shuisheng. Gao Shuisheng felt something stuck in his throat and felt very uncomfortable. He was not a human!
The next day was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Jiang Youzhen and his family got up early because they had to buy some things for the New Year. Shen and Jiang Fugui went to the town early in the morning. The three sisters also wanted to buy some things, but only Jiang Youzhen wanted to go to the mountain.
I haven't been to the mountain to check for traps these two days. I went to see if there is any game and whether I can get some.
However, just a few steps out of the door, I found Gao Shuisheng following behind me.
"Why are you following me? You're just chopping firewood for nothing." Facing Gao Shuisheng, Jiang Youzhen naturally had no good temper. Seeing Gao Shuisheng dragging his sick body to follow him, Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes, hoping that he would not make trouble again and cost his family money.
"It's dangerous on the mountain. I'll go with you and I can do some work." Gao Shuisheng said with his head down.
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and thought that if he taught him how to set traps, it would be nice to let him take over the task of trapping game in the mountains in the future.
"Then follow me! Bring your hatchet and chop some firewood. Let me make it clear, if you can't handle it, go back so as not to delay my work." Jiang Youzhen glanced at the other person's bruised ankle, but was not moved.
When she first came here, her life was even harder! After all, the boy is wearing a pair of tattered cloth shoes now, aren't they better than her straw sandals?
The two climbed up the mountain and first looked at the two traps on the periphery. Only one of them had a rabbit trapped in it, and the other was empty.
Jiang Youzhen took down the rabbit and set the trap again. Gao Shuisheng, who was standing by, saw Jiang Youzhen set the trap skillfully and a light flashed in his eyes, "You can set a trap?"
