Starting as a Mute Girl? I Thrive in Famine Years

Special forces operative Jiang Huaixu transmigrated, becoming a seemingly dull and mute girl.

Her grandmother secretly abused her and even planned to sell her off? Jiang Huaixu was furious, d...

Chapter 164 Jiang Yao's Death

"I don't know where these young ladies come from. They look so attractive. They are much more attractive than those big and fat old ladies in our village." A man with greasy hair and a black mole in his eyebrow licked his dry lips. The sound he made seemed to be stuck in his throat, very low, like the sound of a snake covered with mucus crawling through the grass.

Another thin man said excitedly: "I told you, there are no weak ones coming from the south. What do you think? Do you want to do it?"

"Let's do it!" The man in the middle stared at the man by the stream with a wolf-like gaze. "They are just refugees. Even if they are exposed, they can't cause much trouble. It's a waste if we don't do it!"

He turned over and lay on the hill. "Hei Da, Hei Er, we'll just keep an eye on them for the next two days and see when they get left alone. Then we'll do the same as before."

The three people lying on the hill all knew the meaning of the last sentence, so their smiles were particularly ambiguous.

In the county town, Jiang Huaixu ate a bun and fed Futuan a bite from time to time. The man and the cat ate until their mouths were full of oil.

Jiang Sanlang looked at it with distress, "Little sister, feed it less. It's already so fat. How will I be able to hold it in the future?"

Fu Tuan raised his paw and was about to slap him, but was stopped by Jiang Huaixu, "Third brother, Fu Tuan is very unhappy with you now. If you don't want it to attack you when you sleep, stop calling it fat."

Jiang Sanlang, who had never thought that a cat could be so scheming, opened his eyes wide in shock. "Is it a cat demon?"

"No, no." Jiang Huaixu shook his head, "It's a petty cat."

As the two were talking, the carriage stopped in front of the drugstore.

"Xu Jie'er, you and your third brother please take good care of your cousin Yao. Once dad and your eldest cousin have bought all the things, we will wait for you at the county town gate." Jiang Boliang got off the carriage and helped the little girl who jumped off the carriage.

"I understand, Dad." Jiang Huaixu leaned over to look at the name of the pharmacy - Mingrenfang. She beckoned Jiang Boliang to bend down.

When her father leaned over to her ear, she whispered something.

Jiang Boliang straightened up in slight surprise and frowned: "How much?"

"a lot of."

Jiang Boliang scratched his head, feeling a little worried. "Okay, Dad will take care of it."

Jiang Sanlang looked puzzled from the side, "Dad, what are you and my sister talking about? Is there something I can't listen to?"

Jiang Boliang looked at his third son with a worried look on his face, "I'm afraid you don't understand."

Sometimes he himself felt like he was listening to a foreign language, let alone this silly son.

After the two carriages left, Jiang Huaixu glanced at Jiang Yao, who looked reluctant, and said to Jiang Sanlang, "Third brother, let's go in."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked away.

Jiang Sanlang realized belatedly that his youngest sister and cousin didn't seem to be getting along. He turned his head back and forth to look at the two of them. Seeing Jiang Yao standing there stupidly, he urged, "Cousin, don't you want to see a doctor? Hurry up and leave."

Only after he spoke did Jiang Yao move.

In Mingrenfang, Jiang Huaixu was already talking to the medicine boy.

"Young lady, are you here to see a doctor or to buy medicine?" asked the medicine boy.

Jiang Huaixu took out the prescription he had written last night from his small cloth bag and said, "I want your doctor to take a look at the prescription. Where can I get in line?"

"Look, it's right there. There's no one there. You're really lucky, young lady."

Jiang Huaixu smiled, revealing the dimples on his cheeks, "Little brother, you are so sweet."

As she said that, she walked towards the direction the medicine boy pointed. If she remembered correctly, this was the first time she was received so warmly in a pharmacy, which really made her feel...unpleasant.

Jiang Huaixu's mood suddenly took a turn for the worse as he watched a person suddenly appear in front of him, and the smile on his lips disappeared.

Jiang Yao glanced at Jiang Huaixu with a proud smile, and took the lead in lifting the plain cloth to examine the patient.

Jiang Huaixu, standing in place, felt that the medicine he had taken was not strong enough. Jiang Yao was a person who only remembered to eat but not to be beaten, so he had to give her a beating that she would never forget.

Jiang Sanlang quietly walked to Yaomei's side, glanced at her face, and felt that something was wrong.

"Little sister, you and cousin Yao are not getting along? When did it happen?"

"She was the one who unilaterally opposed me," Jiang Huaixu emphasized, "I didn't take her seriously at all."

After saying this, Jiang Huaixu felt that the remaining mute medicine still had to play its role. The one who teases first is the meanest. She would keep Jiang Yao mute as long as she keeps targeting her.

Soon, Jiang Yao came out from behind the cloth with red eyes. Jiang Sanlang stood firmly on the side of the youngest sister and did not go forward to comfort her. Jiang Huaixu ignored her directly and strode to the doctor.

She bought the mute medicine from the interstellar mall. According to the description, it was made from a powder ground from a strange insect on a certain planet. No matter how skilled a person was at that time, they couldn't figure out the cause, let alone an antidote.

Handing the doctor her own prescription, she briefly explained her brother and sister-in-law's pulse condition before asking her own question.

The doctor only asked: "Who wrote these two prescriptions?"

Jiang Huaixu was puzzled: "Is there a problem?"

"No, it's very suitable for the condition, but the handwriting... I can't praise it."

Jiang Huaixu has always been very confident in her handwriting. She learned calligraphy from her grandfather when she was a child. Although she is not proficient in it, she can write both regular script and running script well. However, she writes with charcoal pencil, so her handwriting is inevitably sloppy.

Taking the prescription from the doctor, Jiang Huaixu said with a smile, "Doctor, I think this handwriting is very good because I wrote it."

The doctor twitched the corner of his mouth but said nothing more.

When she went out to watch the medicine boy call out the names of the medicines and dispense them, Jiang Huaixu paid special attention to the names of the medicines posted on the cabinet. After reading them quickly, she reported more than a dozen names of the medicines to the medicine boy.

"Pack all these up for me. Each one costs one penny."

The medicine boy was startled, looked at the young lady in front of him, and gently reminded her, "Some of the medicines you bought are quite expensive. Do you still want them?"

Jiang Huaixu said generously, "If you want, just give it to me."

"Little sister!" Jiang Sanlang tugged at Jiang Huaixu's sleeve and said anxiously, "Dad asked me to pay for the medicine, but my third brother doesn't even have a tael of silver left. Please have pity on my third brother!"
