It wasn't just the Tian family who were enjoying their cravings tonight; the Zhou family was too, including Zhou Tianyu.

It was quite late when we got back, almost midnight. After unloading the goods, the Zhou family members all came out to help.

Fortunately, the Zhou family had an ice cellar, so they didn't have to rush to eat such fresh food.

Speaking of this ice cellar, Zhou Baorui really had a clever mind. Growing up in a wealthy family, he had seen such things before. Especially after his youngest daughter was born, whose health was always poor, he stored some ice in winter to cool her down and relieve the summer heat.

Well, now all this seafood has finally found a home. But even so, there's still a lot. We can't keep it all in the ice cellar, so we need to eat it while it's still fresh.

Jinglan is also very skilled. Seeing so much fresh seafood, she tries every possible way to improve the lives of adults and children. She tries to make everything she can think of, and she doesn't even want to sleep.

"My goodness, you should eat it while it's hot. You can finish it tomorrow morning. At worst, I'll help you tomorrow, and you can take a day off. We can work together, mother and son."

Oh, right, Jiang Qiao also promised to come over before she goes back and bring you some meat. I can't guarantee when she'll bring it.

"When the time comes, you'll have to save up for pork. I reckon this girl's going to be quite generous, maybe even a whole pig. You'd better start planning what to do with it, so you don't end up scrambling."

Zhou Baorui and his wife were startled by the sight of a whole pig. "What do you mean? A whole pig? Where did this girl come from?"

Zhou Tianyu chuckled. "Dad, you don't know this, do you? That girl has no ability, yet she can claim merit. Do you think anyone can claim merit like a radish or cabbage?"

Zhou Baorui nodded. "That's true. At first glance, that girl is so pretty that people only admire her face and ignore everything else."

Jiang Qiao didn't dare to release the car directly in the family compound. After winding around, she arrived at a deserted place, released the car, and drove at full speed straight to the countryside.

No one would see a car suddenly appear out of thin air in the middle of the night.

They were almost there, so Jiang Qiao quickly parked the car. When they arrived at Jiang Hu's house, there was no light inside. Although she didn't want to disturb his rest, she knew that this stuff couldn't be left overnight, so she quickly knocked on the door.

"Who is it, knocking on the door so late?"

Jianghu quickly got up, muttering as he dressed, "She's most likely Third Master's granddaughter. I heard she'll be back in a couple of days. The old folks at home are worried about her and asked me to keep an eye on her."

Sure enough, Jiang Qiao was standing outside the gate. "What are you doing here? What time is it? Come in quickly."

Jiang Qiao waved his hand. "Brother Jianghu, I won't go in. These are for you. You can do whatever you want with them. I also brought some for my grandfather. I'm in a hurry to go back now, so I just wanted to come and tell you that I've used the boat first. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow morning."

Jianghu wouldn't allow it. What time is it? It's too dangerous to row a boat at this hour.

"Why don't you stay here for the night, and I'll take you there first thing tomorrow morning? It's too dark, and I'm worried you're not familiar with the waterways. Besides, you don't know how to row a boat."

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Brother Jianghu, I know how to do this. I've memorized the route you took before, and I'm all prepared. So you don't need to worry about this. I have my reasons for daring to do this."

Don't worry, I'll bring the boat over to you first thing tomorrow morning. Stop arguing and hurry up and move all your things back.

Seeing the two bags of things at his feet, Jianghu didn't know what to say. They had already brought gifts before, and now they were sending more. He felt a little ashamed.

"Girl, you're really confident. If you're in a hurry, I'll take you there."

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "Don't worry, if I say it's okay, it's okay. I value my life too. I wouldn't dare to row the boat at this time if I wasn't confident. It's alright, I'm leaving now. Hurry up and close the door. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Jianghu applied again to send someone over, but Jiang Qiao refused again.

Although it was only their second meeting, Jianghu knew that this little girl was a woman of her word. If she didn't want him to come along, then he wouldn't go. The fact that he could travel all this way and stay outside for two days showed that this child was no ordinary person.

He picked up the two bags from the ground; they were really heavy. His wife also came out wearing a coat.

"What happened? Where is everyone?"

"Sigh, don't even mention it. That girl said she didn't need me to take her, she just came over to tell me. Since she dared to say that, I believe she can definitely do it. This is what she brought us. What do you think we should do with it?"

The couple were stunned when they saw what was inside: one bag contained meat, and the other contained seafood.

The woman hadn't eaten much of this stuff, but she'd heard people talk about it. Jianghu had gone out to explore with his father and grandfather in his younger days, so he knew what these things were and had even eaten them.

"I'll handle this. You go and start a fire."

"You know, this girl is really generous. She's given us so much meat; it'll be enough for our kids to eat for a while. Perfect, we can render some fat. Let's get started while everyone's asleep."

Although Jiang Qiao said she could row the boat, it would be a lie to say she wasn't nervous. She had only traveled this section of the river twice and had no experience with it. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and had inquired beforehand that there were no hidden reefs. As long as she kept a good grip on the direction, she wouldn't go wrong.

Fortunately, it was a river; otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to row a boat at midnight in any other place.

If it weren't for helping the elderly couple move some things back under the cover of darkness, would she have been in such a hurry?

It's a pity that this matter can't be explained to the elderly couple, so she can only suffer a little.

Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. Once they reached the village, they quickly secured the rope and headed towards Wen Songtao's residence.

At this moment, the village was quiet. Most families were already resting. There was no entertainment in such a remote place, so why waste oil lamps? It was better to go to sleep early. Besides, it was already past midnight; what else was there to do but sleep?

Therefore, when Jiang Qiao returned at this time, there was not a single person in sight, which greatly facilitated her actions.

She piled up a lot of things at her doorstep, including grains, oils, salt, wine, and other daily necessities—everything she could think of.

After all, she couldn't guarantee she'd come every year, just enough for the old lady for one or two years, so that the food rations would continue. Besides, she'd brought a lot of seafood too.

As soon as she knocked on the door, Wen Songtao heard the noise. At this moment, he didn't think twice. No one else would come over at this time unless there was something wrong. It must be his granddaughter. That girl is bold.

The old lady got up too. As soon as the oil lamp in the house was lit, Jiang Qiao whispered from outside, "Grandpa, I'm back. Open the door quickly."

When the old man opened the door, he was also shocked by what he saw. "My God, how can there be so much? Quick, let's carry it inside."

The father and son worked for a while before moving everything from the doorway into the house. "Grandpa, this is fresh seafood. It's been kept in a plastic bag before I came, so it should be fine. I'll process it for you now. Grandma, come and help me. You can decide how to arrange these things."
