Chapter 125 Jiang Qiuniang wakes up
The big bull driving the cart was so frightened that he pulled the reins, and the old horse shivered.
Jiang Qiuniang felt the hostility emanating from Baozhu and was frightened.
"Bao, Baoya... you..."
Baozhu raised his head, grinned sweetly at her, and looked at her with innocence: "Auntie, do you think brother Jiang Cheng could have escaped this disaster without Mr. He's help?"
Jiang Qiuniang thought for a while and then shook her head.
"Nowadays, the officialdom is corrupt, and officials protect each other. Wang Youcai is the son of the county magistrate, so he cannot escape death."
She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly. Wasn't it the same for the Jiang family back then?
More than a hundred people!
Right in front of her eyes, she saw the heads of relatives who had once loved her so much, falling from their bodies and rolling to the ground.
When she closed her eyes, she could still recall the bloody and cruel scene. She took a long breath to suppress the strong sadness and resentment.
Seeing the ever-changing expression on her face, Baozhu concluded that Jiang Qiuniang was hiding something from her.
But...she didn't intend to break the casserole and ask the truth.
If she wants to say something, she will naturally say it.
But...her temperament needs to change.
"That's right. e=(′o`*))) Alas! In this world...if you don't have some ability, it's really hard to survive."
Bao Zhu shook his head and sighed, as if he were a young adult: "Just like how I can help uncle and the others, if our fists are not strong enough, we really can't scare them."
Jiang Qiuniang pursed her lips and said nothing.
He just sighed softly: "It's my mother's fault... I shouldn't... I shouldn't have to endure it because of your father."
She clenched the handkerchief a little tighter, her eyes were slightly red, and she turned her head to look outside the carriage, not wanting Baozhu to see the tears in her eyes.
"It's all my fault, mother. If it weren't for mother... your father wouldn't have left you siblings."
He won't become a child without a father.
"Baozhu, don't worry. Your father is dead. In the future, mother will not let your grandma and the others bully you, nor will she swallow her anger and be as foolish and filial as before."
Bao Zhu looked up at her in surprise.
It seems a little different.
Could it be that... her enduring tolerance for Mrs. Jiang has something to do with her dead father?
Was it because of her weak mother who couldn't take care of herself that her deceased father joined the army?
"Everything is like the clouds and smoke of the past. If you don't get what you ask for, then you don't ask for it anymore."
Jiang Qiuniang sighed: "As a woman, you can't survive in this troubled world just by reading a few books."
"Instead of dwelling on the past hatred, mother now wants to see your brother and sister safe."
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng asked Da Niu to tell her something, and she also heard it.
The world is about to be in chaos, and Jiang Cheng is worried about Jiangjia Village.
I asked Daniel to bring a message to the village chief.
"Taoyuan County will be in chaos, stock up on food, defend. Move the Jiang family ancestral hall."
What is there in the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall?
Only people in Jiangjia Village know.
There are tens of thousands of books there. If they are spread out, people in the entire southern region will be thirsty for knowledge.
There is food in your pocket, but if you don't have the ability to keep it, it will be a fatal disaster.
Daniel was half-informed and promised to tell the village chief as soon as he got back.
Although Jiang Qiuniang didn't know what was inside the Jiang family ancestral hall, she also knew that this matter should not be taken carelessly.
I already had some guesses in my mind.
Occasionally, I heard the elders in the village mention that the ancestors of the Jiang family had a complicated history.
When Baozhu and the others returned to Jiangjia Village, it was already sunset, every house was closed, and there were only the sounds of dogs barking and children playing.
Danniu stopped the carriage at the door of the village chief. Bao Zhu and Jiang Qiuniang got off the carriage and went home with Bao Zhu instead of going to see the village chief.
After Daniel told the village chief, the village chief summoned the men in the village to discuss the pros and cons. When the men returned home, they would naturally talk to their mothers-in-law.
Since that day, Daniu and Dazhuang led the men in the village to practice martial arts at the entrance of the village almost every day.
The women in the village are not idle either. They go up the mountain every day to cut firewood, cut grass, and collect vegetables.
Even the dolls were pressed down and forced to walk on horseback for an hour every day.
Daniu was the busiest. Before the price of food increased, the village chief used public funds from Jiangjia Village to ask him to go to the town to buy food.
In the middle of the night, he secretly hid in the cellar of Jiang's ancestral hall.
Baozhu looked at the uncles and uncles walking around the village entrance. They were also taking the dogs from Jiangjia Village and the two neighboring villages for a walk in the village every day.
There are dozens of dogs behind the butt, which is very spectacular.
"Hey, dear, your baby is...a dog god, isn't she? All the dogs in and outside the village are just like her, and they run wherever she is pointed."
Chen Juhua stood under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village. She didn't know how many times she saw Baozhu passing by with a large group of wild dogs.
Jiang Qiuniang looked at it secretly amused. She knew that the orb had special abilities.
"By the way, Granny Hao has been visiting Jiang Cheng in the county for a while, right? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"Maybe there's something that delayed me."
Jiang Qiuniang paused and smiled to cover up for Granny Hao.
People in Jiang's village don't know yet that Jiang Cheng was wrongfully accused.
So far, only the village chief and Daniel know.
"e=(′o`*))) Well, I hope the weather will be smooth this year and we will have a good harvest."
He looked around and said, "I don't know if what my father-in-law said is true. Is he really going to start a fight?"
"Of course what the village chief said is correct. How much food does your family have left? Stock up on it while the food price is cheap now."
Jiang Qiuniang thought about it carefully and realized that it was Daniel who told the village chief about this.
Since Daniel didn't tell the old lady Chen Juhua, he probably didn't say it because he was afraid that she would be lax.
"Oh, if this really breaks out, it will be really hard on our people."
No matter how heartless Chen Juhua was, she was still worried that her men would be captured and made into young men.
"I went back to my parents' house yesterday and told my brother."
Chen Juhua angrily put the insoles on her hands into the embroidery basket: "Brother still doesn't believe what I said."
Jiang Qiuniang didn't answer, she just smiled.
This hasn't happened yet, so it's not surprising that others don't believe it.
Just like in Jiangjiacun, there are some people who don't believe this.
Secretly, he often said that the village chief was unreasonable.
Jiang Qiuniang looked at the more than half of the embroidery she had embroidered in her hand. She had to finish the embroidery quickly and collect the money so that she could buy more food.
Although Jiang Cheng gave her a hundred taels, she still had money in her pocket, so she didn't have to worry about having no money to buy food.
But the money spent will eventually disappear. Things in this world are unpredictable, so it is good to save it for emergencies.
Who would mind having too much money?
Bao Zhu had already taken dozens of dogs for a walk, and walked back home in a swaggering manner: "Second sister, I'm hungry!"
Mingzhu put down the insoles in her hands. These soles were made for the uncles in the village. Since they started practicing martial arts, the uncles used the soles quickly.
Although she couldn't help, she could still help with the soles.
"Wait a minute, I'm going to make egg noodles for you now."
After spring started, Jiang Qiuniang went to buy a dozen chicks, three or four hens and a big rooster.
After raising it for a month, it has started to lay eggs one after another.
