“You—”
Jiang Wan raised her hand and tapped his brow, full of thoughts.
Why didn't she realize before that her eldest brother was so smart?
This time, Jiang Zexing went to see the village chief and directly bought three acres of fertile land.
When they divided the family business, the village chief helped them get the deed to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, so they didn't have to worry about it anymore.
The three acres of fertile land were also at the foot of the mountain, not far from their one acre of wasteland.
It is said to be fertile land, but it is much worse than the best fertile land, so there will naturally be some discounts on the price.
But it's convenient for them.
This place is close to their home, and these fields are the best for them.
When I walked out of the door, I didn't see Jiang Zexing today.
At this time in the past, he would have been making wooden chairs and benches in the yard.
Su Yun came out of the kitchen and saw her.
"Wanwan, are you awake?"
"Well, Mom, where did Dad go today?"
After hearing this, the smile on Su Yun's face disappeared.
"Didn't the family buy three acres of good farmland yesterday? Your father is itching to work on it, so he's already gone to the fields."
These three acres of fertile land can be said to have helped Jiang Zexing get back on his feet.
All his life he knew how to work in the fields and do some carpentry, and nothing else.
If Jiang Wan hadn't asked him to buy good farmland, he would probably still be tinkering with the wood at home.
I was unhappy the whole day, unlike the excited rooster today, which got up and carried the hoe to the field before the crow even started.
"Then I'll go call Dad back for dinner."
Jiang Wan turned around and ran out. From a distance, she saw Jiang Zexing hoeing the ground with a hammer.
Behind Jiang Zexing is renovated soil.
His energy is really strong.
"father--"
"Dad, Mom has prepared breakfast, let's go home and have breakfast."
Hearing her voice, Jiang Zexing raised his head, finished the last hoeing, picked up the tools, and walked out of the field.
On the way, he was still talking excitedly to Jiang Wan.
"Wanwan, after a while, when Dad finishes cultivating the land, we'll be able to plant crops. Then our family won't have to worry about food anymore."
"I'll listen to Dad."

At the same time, a group of people walked towards Lao Jiang's house in a menacing manner.
Led by Cheng Renming, followed by a group of villagers, they walked towards Lao Jiang's house in a menacing manner.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Jiang Anfu and Old Zhang had just returned home not long ago. Because they were frightened in the mountains, they have been recuperating at home for the past few days.
He was even waiting at home for Jiang Zexing and others to come and apologize.
The rice jar at home was also empty. Old Zhang looked at the empty rice jar and her face became more and more ugly.
"A bunch of idiots just sitting around waiting to die! All you do all day is wait for me to serve you!"
Old Mrs. Zhang put her hands on her waist and looked at the second family. Xie Ying didn't take her words seriously at all.
Anyway, their second branch has not separated yet and is now at home, so old Zhang can't drive them out.
"mother--"
Jiang Ying tugged at her sleeve quietly, earning a glare from Xie Ying. "What are you afraid of? Isn't all this caused by your aunt? Otherwise, if our family stayed at home, how could the food be lost?"
"What? Do you think you're right?"
Old Zhang turned her head suddenly and raised her hand to hit someone when she heard knocking on the door in the yard.
The crowd was startled.
"Old...old man, it's not those bandits again, is it? We have no food at home——"
Old Zhang cried out in despair. Why had she believed Ah Yue's words in the first place? Those bandits were not human beings at all! Bandits were bandits!
Jiang Anfu's face was solemn, and he looked at Old Zhang with a bad look. He cursed inwardly, "It's all your fault!"
"Second brother, go out and take a look."
Then he turned and looked at Jiang Zehai again.
"... Dad, if this were those bandits... how could I possibly defeat them?"
Jiang Zehai was timid and not as obedient as the boss.
Now he really regretted it. He shouldn't have separated the eldest brother's family from home. Otherwise, how could they still be starving now?
Speaking of which, Jiang Zexing is really unfilial!
"What are you standing there for? Go!"
Being stared at by Jiang Anfu, Jiang Zehai, no matter how reluctant he was, just stood up and walked out.
"Jiang Anfu, Jiang Zehai, quickly hand Jiang Yue over—"
As soon as he walked into the yard, Jiang Zexing heard angry voices outside the door, and also heard his own name.
He looked horrified.
"Dad, it seems like they want us to hand Jiang Yue over."
"Ayue hasn't been home for several days. How would we know where she went?"
Old Zhang had a sad face, her triangular eyes wrinkled together, and she was in a panic.
"Shut up!"
Hearing her voice, Jiang Anfu almost wanted to sew her mouth shut.
Since they were released, they haven't seen Jiang Yue, and they don't know what she has been doing. She gave all the food in her home to the bandits, and her own family is still starving.
What a bunch of ungrateful people.
"Bang—"
As they were talking, the door was violently opened.
Now, Jiang Anfu had no choice but to get up.
"Village chief? What are you doing in my house?"
"Where's Jiang Yue?"
Before Cheng Renming could say anything, the villagers behind him rushed forward.
"How do we know?"
Old Zhang's words sounded a little lacking in confidence.
"You don't know? Jiang Yue is your daughter, how could you not know where she went?"
"We really don't know where she went."
Jiang Anfu saw this group of people coming aggressively and realized that things were not simple.
"Ayue hasn't come back at all these days."
Cheng Renming looked at them. They did look anxious, and it didn't seem like they were lying.
"You really don't know?"
Cheng Renming looked skeptical.
"I really don't know."
But Cheng Renming's expression didn't look much better. "Where did your family go a few days ago?"
When the bandits entered the village, no one was at home and they didn't come back until a few days later.
"I...we...were always at home."
Old Mrs. Zhang felt a little guilty.
Then something else occurred to him, "Did that damn girl Jiang Wan tell you something?"
"Village Chief, that damned girl Jiang Wan is just evil. She doesn't like our family and is slandering us!"
"Heh! Miss Jiang didn't say anything, but you guys are so anxious to explain. What did you do wrong?"
"I...what bad things could I have done? Village chief, you can't slander us like this!"
Seeing that she was being stubborn, Cheng Renming decided not to argue with her anymore.
"Grain was lost from the village granary. The villagers saw that it was Jiang Yue who took the people to move the village's grain away. Do you have anything to say?"
"What--"
Without waiting for Old Zhang to speak, Xie Ying jumped forward and said, "I said, Jiang Yue has no good intentions. She said she would lead us to a good life, but she just wants us to be scapegoats and die!"
