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 175 Quyuanli

Hearing that the iron plates and iron troughs could be taken back tomorrow, Jiang Zhengmao found Jiang Boliang to discuss selling the horses. The money for buying the wasteland had already been paid, and it wouldn't take long for them to reclaim the wasteland. They would have to buy cattle and plows.

This hassle will cost a lot of money, so it is better to sell the horse as soon as possible to ease his anxiety.

After Jiang Huaixu sent away his sisters-in-law and other relatives who were going to work with spices, he heard his uncle and father discussing something, so he went to listen.

After hearing about the plow, she recalled that in her original memory, the plows in this world were all straight plows, rather than the more flexible and labor-saving curved plows. If they could be improved, it would save a lot of trouble.

"Uncle, I saw a plow in a book a while ago that saves a lot of effort. I'll draw the pattern tomorrow and let Brother Shi try to make it."

Jiang Boliang was slightly surprised. "There are also books about farm tools?"

"Of course, there are also books on how to farm."

Jiang Zhengmao believed his niece's words without a doubt, "Okay, let's make it and give it a try."

Jiang Huaixu nodded in agreement, and told the two about planting garlic sprouts in the cellar, and took the opportunity to suggest that those who went to the county town bring back some garlic.

Knowing how precious vegetables are in winter, Jiang Zhengmao agreed without hesitation as long as he could grow garlic sprouts and make money.

After resolving this matter, Jiang Huaixu found Jiang Dalang to settle the previous account and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Jiang Huaixu heard the sound of a carriage leaving and the sound of medicinal herbs being pounded in a daze.

After getting up, she sat at the table, spread the paper on the table, took out the charcoal pencil and started drawing on the paper bit by bit. After she drew the eleven parts of the curved plow one by one and marked the data one by one, she heard Zheng Li'niang's voice outside calling her to eat.

She responded, put down the charcoal pencil, and walked out of the house with her neck hunched.

Jiuxi Village was covered with frost in the morning. The white and clear frost flowers dotted the yellow-brown fallen leaves, making a "crunching" sound when you stepped on them.

Although it's interesting, it's really cold.

Compared to dinner, breakfast is much simpler, just a pancake, a bowl of white porridge, and some pickles.

The wild animals that were brought back before were stripped of their fur and hung under the eaves. Jiang Boliang took the fur to Niu Bo's house to be tanned. Qian Xiuzhu said that the tanned leather would be used to make small leather boots for the children at home.

Jiang Huaixu had worn all the best shoes, but perhaps because of her physical condition, she felt a little bit of anticipation and secret joy in her heart.

Jiang Huaixu's family was having dinner in the house. On the table were not only pickles but also scrambled eggs with tomatoes cooked by Liu Ye'er, and stewed rabbit meat.

Ever since Qian Xiuzhu and Zheng Li'niang made tofu and rice in a big pot respectively, Jiang Tao asked Liu Ye'er to cook the meals at home while she helped to light the fire.

The two didn't want to eat for free and wanted to do something, so Qian Xiuzhu agreed.

Zheng Li Niang had been busy all morning, and finally had a break. She took a bite of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and her eyes lit up. "This tomato fried with eggs is really delicious."

"It smells so good~" Jiang Sanlang was eating so much that he couldn't even lift his head, but he didn't forget to express his feelings.

Jiang Wei bit her chopsticks, eating from the bowl while thinking about the pot, "Mom, my little sister said that tomatoes can be mixed with sugar."

Qian Xiuzhu picked up an egg with her chopsticks and offered it to Jiang Rong. She said regretfully, "There were only three tomatoes, and we ate them all. If I had known, I would have saved some seeds so I could have planted some next year."

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll get some seeds in the spring."

After dinner, Jiang Erlang went to the most secluded room in the east of the house to review his lessons as he had said yesterday, while Jiang Huaixu took the needle bag to help Jiang Tao with acupuncture.

Jiang Tao was sitting in the kitchen pounding spices.

"Auntie, I'm here to give you acupuncture again."

After taking medicine and acupuncture, Jiang Tao's leg has almost healed, but she still has a limp when she walks and it hurts if she stands for a long time.

Jiang Tao put down the work in her hands and said, "Xu Jie'er, I think my leg is almost healed. Do I still need acupuncture?"

She no longer needs acupuncture every day, but only every three days. Seeing Sister Xu busy all day and still bothering to remember the acupuncture time, she felt bad.

"Don't worry, auntie. Today is the last day. You've just finished your medicine. As long as you don't overwork your leg for the next month, it will be the same as before."

"Yeah, that's good." Jiang Tao was very happy.

When her leg was broken and she had no money for treatment, she thought she would become a cripple in the future. The injuries on her daughter's face and the place they were in made her angry and desperate.

If Xu Jie'er hadn't found them, she didn't know whether she could survive to this day.

She was grateful in her heart, but she was not good at speaking, so she could only do her best to help her brother and sister-in-law.

After carefully helping her aunt with the acupuncture, Jiang Huaixu returned to the house to further refine the drawing. After confirming that there was no problem, she trotted to find Shi Tao.

"Brother Shi, I'm bothering you again."

It was early winter and Shi Tao was so tired that his face was covered with sweat. He wiped the sweat off his face and poured the cold porridge into his mouth. He almost choked when he shouted.

"Didn't I tell you that I have too much work to do now? What work will I do tomorrow..."

As he said this, he turned to look at the person who came, and saw Jiang Huaixu holding a stack of papers, looking at him expectantly.

"Hey, Xu girl, what do you want to make? Just tell me and your brother Shi will make it for you first."

Jiang Huaixu noticed the bowl in Shi Tao's hand and the pancakes and pickles beside it, and hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, you haven't eaten yet? Then you eat first, I'm not in a hurry."

"Hey - is that the drawing you drew?" Shi Tao noticed the drawing in Jiang Huaixu's hand with his sharp eyes and was quite interested.

Jiang Huaixu had no choice but to hand the drawing in his hand to Shitao.
