Jiang Shan smiled and said, "If you are short of vegetables, just come to our field and pick them."

Jiang Yue thanked him, and everyone went home in groups while it was still dark.

When the village chief returned home, his daughter had already prepared dinner. His wife didn't even light a candle, but instead cooked in the moonlight in the dark. Everyone ate ravenously, nearly starving to death.

But then I heard my father say, "Tomorrow the third son and I will go fishing, and the eldest and second sons will go to town to sell fish for money to buy grain."

When Yan Gu returned home, she also said to the man, "Jiang Yue never talks nonsense. She just suddenly said that long paragraph..."

If there is another heavy rain, the harvest will be ruined and we won’t be able to pay the tax. Won’t we starve to death?

She said decisively, "Tomorrow, take half a tael of silver, plus the money from selling fish, and buy grains. Follow the village chief's family, they will definitely go!"

The next day, Yan Gu's youngest son and daughter-in-law, along with Jiang Shan and his wife, drove a mule cart to the town in the dark. The village chief would inform everyone that there was fishing that morning, so no one would come to take the cart.

Several people followed the instructions of their family, stopped talking nonsense outside, and did whatever they were told to do.

Their fish had been left overnight, so while it wasn't fresh, it was still quite good and plump. The two families brought all the fish out to sell. They thought the villagers should be able to get one or two today, so it was enough to satisfy their cravings.

Each family sold about 110 coins, plus their own silver. Yu Jiangshan went to the grain store to bargain for a price of 1 coin less per liter, buying a stone of yellow beans and a stone of black flour, and then divided it among the families according to their weight.

"Your family still wants to buy more?"

Jiang Shan nodded, "There are many children in the family. If they are hungry, they won't grow well."

The youngest son of Aunt Yan nodded. He was short because he didn't eat well when he was a child, but most people in the village were like this.

When he got home, he told his mother that the village chief's family needed to buy more grain.

The village chief's wife was almost furious. She knew that her husband never got any good results in his work.

We kindly informed every household that they could go fishing in the river, but some of them were ungrateful and said that they must have finished fishing before they came to call for help, so what everyone caught today should not be given to them.

Although they did fish it out first and then tell the villagers, according to this logic, even if they didn't do it yesterday, they would probably be wrongly accused.

"Good intentions really don't go unrewarded! I shouldn't have informed you earlier. You ungrateful bastards, do you owe them anything?!"

"Your man is the village chief. If you know the truth but don't tell us, there's something wrong with you!"

The village chief roared, "Whoever wants to be the village chief can do it! Can I not be the village chief?!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected such a commotion. Someone quietly spoke up for the village chief's family, "If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have known there were fish to catch here."

The village chief's wife wiped her tears and complained to the village chief, "You've been thinking about the village all day long, and now your grandchildren can't even get a bowl of fish soup!"

Some people also felt that this statement was unreasonable and scolded the person who spoke too much, saying that there must be a share for the village chief's family, blah blah blah.

Everyone gathered at the wall and made a lot of noise. Jiang Yue was in an annoyed mood and opened the door.

Eugene had long been envious of the stone wall built by the little hoof, wondering if she could use it to build her own house. She stared at it, but couldn't see what was going on inside, and she felt itchy.

Seeing someone coming out, her eyes rolled and she said in a shrill voice, "I don't know if the village chief's family secretly caught fish, but these two definitely did! They must have known there were fish but didn't tell anyone!"

Maybe there are still many people in the village who speak up for the village chief, but there are definitely many people who are dissatisfied with what Jiang Yue and her husband did. They are talking to her one after another and pointing fingers at her.

Jiang Yuehan had a cold and expressionless face as he stared at Eugene Hua, getting closer and closer.

Eugene Hua was frightened by her eyes, and her fingers trembled. "You, you, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Yue slapped Eugene Hua hard, broke her finger, and then threw her over his shoulder.

The sound of "bang" made everyone's heart tremble.

Then Eugenie lay in the mud and wailed.

Jiang Dajin was hiding in the crowd and trembling. Jiang Dagui rushed out and tried to pull his mother, but was kicked away by Jiang Nian who was standing beside him.

Jiang Nian smelled the disgusting odor on him.

The scene of the mother and son wailing together made the onlookers weak in the knees.

Jiang Yue glanced at the villagers and sneered, "Why should I tell you? Are you my father or my mother? Haven't you shamelessly taken advantage of me enough? After taking advantage of the village chief, you want to take advantage of me? Don't think too much."

"From now on, stop whispering behind my back. If you have the guts, come and scold me in person. If I beat one, I can beat another."

Report to the authorities? They had to rent a car to go to the county town, then pay a small fee to get through to the government office. Regardless of whether the officials would actually care about such a trivial matter, the root cause of this was their bad mouthing.

So to be honest, she was not afraid that these people would report her to the police.

She pulled Jiang Nian back to the house.

The village chief looked at the tightly closed gate, not even glancing at the couple on the ground. He sighed and said, "This is because Jiang Yue came to tell our family there were fish first, so we only found out. Otherwise, who else would come here at this time besides their family in such a remote place?"

Some people are still stubborn, saying, "You shouldn't hit people at every turn. They are their elders. How unfilial."

The village chief's wife rolled her eyes. "Jiang Dajin, you didn't dare say a word when your wife and son were beaten just now, and now you're hiding behind them and grumbling. Do you want me to help you open the gate and have a discussion?"

After saying that, she no longer cared about these ungrateful people. Jiang Yue was right. There was no time to take advantage of others.

Brother Jiang San didn't just watch the fun, he covered his head and fished, shouting, "I caught three fish, hurry up and get a bucket to put them in."

The stalemate atmosphere finally became lively. Except for the beaten Eugene Hua and her son, everyone else acted as if nothing had happened and went fishing happily.

After Jiang Yue beat someone up, she seemed to feel much better.

Jiang Nian squatted on the ground, staring at the little fish in the bucket in a daze.

She went over and said, "We can't eat it raw, how about frying it? It's delicious when fried until crispy."

She poured oil into the pot and fried some dried fish for Jiang Nian first. He took the bowl and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

He nodded and held out the bowl again.

It feels so good to feed the cubs.

The aroma of frying spread out, and the people fishing outside were drooling. It was amazing that hunters could save so much money and still afford to eat oil! I don’t know what kind of oil this is, but it’s even more fragrant than the oil we eat during the Chinese New Year!

The smell gave the villagers more motivation to catch fish, and the two people in the yard also had their fill.

Jiang Yue was woken up early in the morning and was now drowsy. When she was about to climb into bed to rest, Jiang Nian suddenly came up from behind and kept sniffing her.

She turned around, "What's wrong?"

But Jiang Nian was very anxious and kept sticking close to her to smell her.

Is it because I smell too much fish? No, I don't hate the smell of fish.

Jiang Yue's mind shook, and a hot current surged from her body. It seemed like she was having her period!
