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 45: Boil herbs and build fences

In the cave, after Jiang Huaixu finished drinking the ginger soup, he felt Jiang Rong's pulse and found that her condition was still not good, so he gave Jiang Fu some instructions. Since she had already intervened, it was not her style to give up halfway.

After explaining everything in detail, she said to Qian Xiuzhu, "Mom, I'll go outside to see if there are any herbs that can be used. If there are, I'll pick some and bring them back."

"Little sister, I want to go too!" Jiang Wei immediately jumped out and said.

Qian Xiuzhu also said, "Have your sister come with you. Hold the umbrella and don't go too far away, okay?"

Jiang Huaixu glanced at Jiang Wei who was looking at her eagerly and nodded helplessly.

I don’t know why, but her sister is too clingy to her.

The two sisters walked out of the cave side by side. After wandering around the cave for a while, they found a lot of common herbs such as mugwort and fangfeng.

On the way back, the two met a group of people who were cutting bamboo. Everyone, led by Jiang Erlang, looked miserable, with mud all over their bodies and faces.

"Second brother, why did you cut so many bamboos?" Jiang Wei couldn't help but exclaimed.

Jiang Zhou quickly answered, "We'll have to stay in the cave for a while. We have to find a way to prevent the wild animals from entering our territory!"

"Sharpen the bamboo and block the entrance to the cave. It will be safer this way."

"Good idea!" Jiang Wei clapped her hands.

Jiang Huaixu reminded: "Uncle Niu is leading people to set traps at the entrance of the cave. Be careful when you walk."

Jiang Erlang nodded slightly, "Let's go back together."

After returning to the cave, the group began to work busily on cutting bamboo, building fences, and boiling herbs.

The adults couldn't help but marvel at this and said, "This generation of kids are definitely going to be great. Look, with this kind of drive, they can even survive a disaster!"

"Uncle, if you want to praise, then praise together. Otherwise, put down the anti-cold medicine! You're wasting Xu girl's kindness!"

His uncle: ······

Everyone laughed. Outside, the mountain wind was howling and the rain was pouring down, but inside the cave, there was a rare warmth and harmony.

In this warm and cozy scene, only the Sun family seemed out of place. Everyone had a sullen look on their faces, as if someone owed them hundreds of taels of silver.

"It would be so nice to go to my second sister-in-law's parents' home with my elder and second brothers. Why do I have to come to this mountain to suffer? What's wrong with me..." Sun Wu kept muttering.

Sun Si kicked his leg and said, "If my parents hear you, you're dead."

"I heard it, I heard it. If we don't have a quarrel every day, I won't feel comfortable!"

"What are you whining about? A family of so many people are all staying at my in-laws' house. You have no shame, but I still have some!" Old Man Sun plopped down on the newly made bedding. "Your mother is just getting better, so watch your mouths!"

Sun Si and Sun Wu responded lazily.

"Dad, I want to sleep in a tent too! The tent made by Jiang Erlang is so good, I want the one he makes!" Sun Pangya came back after watching Jiang Erlang make a tent and pouted and said coquettishly.

Old Man Sun couldn't stand his daughter's coquettish behavior, so he hurriedly said, "Do it, do it, Dad will go ask if he can make one for you!"

Then he called Sun San, "Laosan, Si Lao, if you two have nothing to do, make a tent for me and your mother."

Sun Si didn't respond, but Sun San, who had been busy the whole time, uttered a few "eh eh" sounds, put down his work, and said, "Dad, I understand."

"Third brother, are you stupid?" Sun Wu muttered softly, "You always agree to whatever Dad says. You deserve to do more work."

The five brothers had originally agreed not to care about anything related to their youngest sister, but unexpectedly, the third brother came along and was the one who was taken advantage of. He kept saying yes to everything his parents said, and made the other four of them feel embarrassed.

Sun San's eyes flashed with disdain, but he smiled innocently, "No matter what, he's our father."

Sun Wu rolled his eyes and stopped talking.

Sun Pangya looked at her father's back as he left, feeling extremely proud. She was extremely grateful that she had persuaded her parents to go up the mountain. Without her eldest and second sisters-in-law, two unlucky figures, and without her eldest and second brothers leading the way, the remaining three brothers and two sisters-in-law posed no threat to her at all.

Thinking of this, she no longer felt angry about her fifth brother's words and turned around to find her mother.

Old Man Sun walked up to Jiang Erlang and said, "Jiang boy, how about you build a tent for my family and I'll pay you?"

Jiang Erlang paused and looked up at Old Man Sun.

"Mr. Sun, I am a scholar, not a businessman."

It means not to do it.

The smile on Old Man Sun's face disappeared instantly.

He didn't expect Jiang Erlang to be so disrespectful to him. Even if the two families had conflicts, they were from the same village. Isn't this looking for trouble?

"Jiang Erlang, I am your elder after all..."

"Make way, make way, make way!" Second Grandma took the bedding and tried to push away the old man Sun who was blocking her way, but found it a bit difficult.

She took a closer look and said, "Hey, Mr. Sun? What brings you here? Our temple is small and we can't move. You're just asking for trouble by standing here with your size. Go away now! Don't delay anything!"

As she spoke, she spoke to Jiang Erlang in a low voice, not giving Old Man Sun any chance to speak at all.

Old Man Sun stood aside for a while and found that he was really making himself look awkward. He couldn't do anything to Jiang Erlang at the moment, so he could only snort coldly and leave.

When Second Grandma saw Old Man Sun leaving, she couldn't help but spit at his back, "How shameless!"

When he returned to his own home, Old Man Sun had a gloomy face and looked displeased with everyone. He only showed a good expression in front of his wife and daughter.

"Dad, did Erlang agree?" Fatty Sun pulled Old Man Sun's hand and shook it.

"Hey, let your brothers do it for you, it's all the same. Jiang Erlang is so arrogant that he won't do anything even if you give him money. Look..."
