Chapter 280 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 21
Liu Hongjuan: “…”
"No, mother, I was going to buy this piece of cloth to make clothes for you, but I forgot about it when I was distracted by the work of cleaning."
Liu Hongjuan pinched her thigh flesh tightly, trying hard to force herself to smile and play the role of a good daughter-in-law who was filial to her mother-in-law.
Grandma Jiang felt refreshed when she saw her angry, hateful and helpless expression. She also felt less unhappy about not being able to find Liu Hongjuan's private money.
"And your cabinet, why did you lock it in broad daylight? Our whole family is here, who are you protecting? Do you think I, your mother, can take advantage of you? From now on, when we are at home, don't lock your room! You are so cunning!"
After leaving these words, Grandma Jiang left peacefully.
Only Liu Hongjuan was left, whose expression instantly turned vicious. Fuck you - the delicious food went into the dog's stomach, and the cloth was put on the dog's body, and you didn't even get the advantage!
She stood in the room for a long time before she tidied up the messy cabinet, closed it again, and did not lock it.
Jiang Yueshu was watching the images transmitted by the system in her little room, and she always felt that things would not be so easy.
The next day, as soon as Jiang Aiguo walked out of the door, Grandma Jiang blocked Liu Hongjuan.
"Where's the money? Hand it over quickly!" Grandma Jiang said impatiently.
Liu Hongjuan had a puzzled look on her face. "Ah? What money?"
Grandma Jiang didn't even look at her, "The two dollars from yesterday!"
Liu Hongjuan's face darkened: "......"
She was a little at a loss, "Mom, didn't Aiguo say that the money was for Erya?"
Grandma Jiang looked at Liu Hongjuan with a cold face, "Er Ya Er Ya, why are you giving her everything? The family is supporting her now, she has enough food, clothing and shelter, what's the point of asking for that money?"
He squinted his eyes and said with a stern face, "Liu Hongjuan! You are not going to steal the money to subsidize your daughter, are you? I tell you, you must hand over the money today. On the contrary, Qing girl's job is also paid for by her family. If you need it, ask her for it!"
Although Liu Hongjuan has always hated Erya, she is now amused by Grandma Jiang's bandit logic. It seems that all the benefits are hers, and she doesn't care about anything else. It's really disgusting.
The disgust in her heart grew more and more, but Liu Hongjuan knew she could not resist, so she had to take out the two dollars that were not even warm yet with a painful heart.
In a trance, she even thought that she had accepted the two dollars too easily. If the money given by Aunt Zhang was given to Jiang Erya, wouldn't this old woman have asked that dead girl for it?
But she thought again and realized that there was no difference between the two. The final result was that the money went into the old woman's pocket.
Jiang Yueshu dragged herself to the back and tidied her clothes slowly, letting the system keep an eye on Old Lady Jiang's movements.
After seeing where she hid her money, Jiang Yueshu quickly picked up the backpack and ran outside.
Today, when Jiang Yueshu was walking on the road, she would occasionally see three or five villagers with familiar faces pointing and talking at her. When she looked over, they restrained their actions and talked about other things in an attempt to hide their feelings.
It seems that yesterday's play was quite successful, Jiang Yueshu sighed.
When they reached the hillside, Jiang Yueshu picked up a sickle and began to harvest grass for the pigs, and she could sense the occasional gazes from the side.
Jiang Yueshu paused and realized that he had been thinking about something the whole time, so he didn't notice that Fang Ruoyao was unusually quiet today.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueshu turned her head to look at the nervous Fang Ruoyao and asked, "What's wrong, Yaoyao?"
Fang Ruoyao shook her head, her eyes flashing with sympathy and love, "No, it's okay."
That cautious look really didn't seem like she was fine. Seeing that she didn't want to talk for the time being, Jiang Yueshu didn't press her. Anyway, Fang Ruoyao was actually a bit of a chatterbox, and she couldn't help it.
During the following busy work, Fang Ruoyao was still as absent-minded and distracted as before. She would glance at Jiang Yueshu every few minutes, and occasionally even stared at the sharp sickle blade in a daze.
After guiding Jiang Yueshu to finish harvesting a basket of pig grass and finally put down the sickle, Fang Ruoyao breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked a few steps closer, kicked the sickle away calmly, and then looked at Jiang Yueshu.
"Erya, are you okay? Here's some candy!"
There was still a White Rabbit milk candy in her palm.
Jiang Yueshu laughed and shook her head, "Eat it. I know you like sweet things. It's not market day yet, so eat sparingly."
Fang Ruoyao looked at the tempting White Rabbit milk candy, swallowed her saliva, and then handed the candy over with a determined look on her face.
"Arya, this is for you!"
"I... I also heard about what happened yesterday. Don't worry. Doctor Zhang said it can be cured. You will definitely be cured! In the future, when my family sends me some candy, I will share some with you. Anyway, eating too much candy is not good for your teeth!"
When Jiang Yueshu looked at Fang Ruoyao's twinkling and lively eyes, and then at her expression of reluctance and determination, she felt an inexplicable warmth surge up in her heart.
To her, Fang Ruoyao was actually just an acquaintance they had met by chance, and her acquaintance was not even as long as that of Cheng Shuo. But after spending many times together, even though the time was still short, she could feel that Fang Ruoyao was an extremely open and sincere person.
Perhaps it can be said that she is very straightforward. She doesn't understand those twists and turns. If she likes someone, her heart and face will be full of smiles. If she hates someone, all the thorns in her body will stand up, hurting others and herself.
"Hey! Arya, what's wrong with you? Are you stupid?"
When I came to my senses, I heard Fang Ruoyao's chattering questioning voice.
Jiang Yueshu smiled and said, "I was just thinking about how to thank Yaoyao. Yaoyao loves sugar, but she is willing to give me half. It's really touching."
Fang Ruoyao felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, her cheeks flushed and she said proudly, "Didn't I tell you that I'm afraid of getting cavities! Besides, you need to take care of your body, you need it more."
"Is that so?" Jiang Yueshu pretended to think, holding the White Rabbit candy in distress, "How about we each take half?"
Fang Ruoyao's ears perked up instantly. She looked at the candy again and again, but finally refused it gracefully.
Jiang Yueshu picked up a stone and knocked it against the middle of the candy, breaking the candy in half, then put one piece into Fang Ruoyao's mouth.
Fang Ruoyao squinted her almond-shaped eyes in happiness, and it was visibly clear that she was full of energy and spirit.
After that, Jiang Yueshu met Cheng Shuo again, who looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, with a hint of blue in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Yueshu for a long time without being able to say anything. Finally, he was afraid that Jiang Yueshu would get impatient after a long time, so he said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry."
"If Doctor Zhang says he can cure it, then he can definitely cure it. He never lies!"
Cheng Shuo pursed his lips tightly, not knowing how to comfort her. His eyes, which usually sparkled brightly, were now a little dull and his face was drooping.
The news that Liu Hongjuan had found Wang Goudan just came out the day before yesterday, and last night rumors began to spread that Jiang Erya was weak and unable to have children.
Although this rumor did solve Wang Goudan's problem, if it were true...
How miserable Erya must be!
Just thinking about this made Cheng Shuo extremely anxious. He struggled at home for nearly an hour and rushed to Doctor Zhang's house under the cover of night.
He just wanted to know if this was true, or if... someone was just making it up.
But Doctor Zhang frankly admitted the incident, and later said that there would be no problem if she took good care of herself.
That night, Cheng Shuo couldn't sleep for half the night before he fell asleep. In the morning, he quickly explained the things at hand, and then went around the village looking for Jiang Erya.
He thought he should say something to prevent her from being too sad.
Jiang Yueshu thought for a moment, looked at the extremely nervous Cheng Shuo, then glanced at Fang Ruoyao who was eavesdropping with her ears perked up, and sighed softly, "Comrade Cheng, how about we have dinner together tonight!"
"Ah?" Cheng Shuo's prepared speech was interrupted. Hearing these nonsensical words, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
"I say, why don't we have dinner together tonight. Do you mind if I bring my friend along?" Jiang Yueshu repeated and glanced at Fang Ruoyao.
Fang Ruoyao's eyes lit up instantly, and the next second she straightened her posture and swung the sickle a few times, pretending that she was working hard.
Cheng Shuo nodded blankly. She was already so miserable, and she just made such a small request, he must agree!
Seeing Cheng Shuo nod, Jiang Yueshu immediately shouted to Fang Ruoyao who was getting closer and closer, "Stop pretending, let's have dinner together tonight!"
"Ah? Really?" Fang Ruoyao turned her head and exclaimed excitedly, then happily hugged Jiang Yueshu.
Well, I heard that Cheng Shuo’s cooking is delicious!
I never thought, I never thought, she! Fang Ruoyao! One day I would be able to have such a meal!
Oh my God! O earth!
Thank you Comrade Cheng, and thank you to her best friend Erya!
Cheng Shuo finally left in a mess. He was clearly anxious and worried when he came, but after arriving, it seemed like he was overthinking.
The two girls were happier than each other, as if they had not heard the vicious rumors at all. It was as if they were not in the same world!
Shaking his head to get rid of the thoughts floating in his mind, Cheng Shuo curled his lips slightly and quickened his pace. After all, it is better to be happy than to be sad.
As soon as the person left, Fang Ruoyao's whole body seemed to be equipped with a perpetual motion machine. She no longer had her usual lazy look, but instead sped up her pace to harvest the pig grass!
The same went for Jiang Yueshu. The two of them completed today's task very early, as if they were competing.
In this day and age, going to someone else's house for a free meal is as disgusting as being hated by a dog, it's almost like stealing food. Jiang Yueshu was just saying this, and everything that should be prepared had to be prepared.
Fang Ruoyao also knew this, and she generously took Jiang Yueshu to the educated youth site first, dug up a lot of millet and rice mixed together and took them away, and delivered them to Cheng Shuo's house first.
Then the two went to the mountain again. Jiang Yueshu was preparing to hunt some prey, while Fang Ruoyao was helping to find some fruits, wild vegetables, mushrooms and the like.
After such a long period of training, Jiang Yueshu can now catch prey with ease. As soon as a small prey appears, he can take it down in an instant with just a stone.
Fang Ruoyao followed behind her and exclaimed in amazement. She couldn't calm down for a long time. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the pheasants and rabbits in the basket several times before she completely believed that Jiang Yueshu could really catch prey.
At this moment, Fang Ruoyao's eyes looked even brighter when she looked at Jiang Yueshu, and her obvious admiration almost overflowed.
She is a greedy person and likes to eat anything delicious, including meat. But after going to the countryside, she doesn't know if she can eat meat once in ten days or half a month.
Besides, the educated youth camps all ate from a big pot, so it was not easy to get some meat alone.
More importantly, her cooking skills were terrible. She only learned how to make simple fire and porridge because she had to take turns cooking. She didn't know how to do anything else.
Even if there was meat, she didn't know how to cook it. She would just cook it and give most of it to others, so sometimes she had to exchange the meat for sugar so that she could eat it alone.
This meal was simply the feast she had been looking forward to for a long time. For a moment, the sound of swallowing saliva was so loud that Jiang Yueshu could hear it clearly even from a step away.
Jiang Yueshu: "......"
The sound made her hungry, what should she do?
The temptation of delicious food completely inspired the motivation of the two people. They hunted, collected prey, picked fruits, dug wild vegetables, and picked mushrooms without stopping for a moment.
Jiang Yueshu was full of motivation and carefully placed the herbs she found during the trip in a corner of her backpack. As time passed, their backpacks were almost full, so they were satisfied and took a detour to Cheng's house.
As soon as she entered, Jiang Yueshu saw Hao Zhi, who was looking troubled, talking to Cheng Shuo. Cheng Shuo was listening with a frown on his face and the atmosphere was gloomy.
Jiang Yueshu walked over puzzledly, and Fang Ruoyao followed.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Hao Zhi seemed to have just noticed someone and was startled by the sudden sound. He screamed "Ah", but when he saw that the person was Jiang Yueshu, his voice gradually became smaller.
Jiang Yueshu looked at his strange expression and understood something. "Is it related to me?"
Hao Zhi stammered, "No, no, I was just talking to Brother Cheng about something else."
His guilty look was easily exposed. Jiang Yueshu simply looked at Cheng Shuo and asked him what was wrong with her eyes.
Cheng Shuo's face still looked bad. He was silent for two seconds before speaking.
"The rumor has spread to Lianhua Village. Even a person like Hao Zhi, who doesn't have a lot of family background, has heard about it."
Hao Zhi: "..."
Okay, okay, so he is a clown!
When will he be unable to have a family?
Forget it, now is not the time to worry about this. He tried to divert his attention to Jiang Yueshu.
Jiang Yueshu nodded, looking relaxed, "That's great, the matter with Wang Goudan has been resolved."
Cheng Shuo pursed his lips, still unhappy, "The key is that it spread too quickly. In less than a day, it spread to the next village. In a few days, it will definitely be known by the whole town. It's not good for your reputation."
"Well, the faster it spreads, the better!" Jiang Yueshu didn't care.
The other three looked dumbfounded, looking at the girl with suspicion, who seemed to be not quite in her right mind.
"It's really not that serious. Once you recover, there won't be any problem. Besides, didn't Dr. Zhang check the prescription I wrote for your mother? Don't you trust my medical skills?"
