Chapter 1143 The Price of Softness
The children didn't want it at first, but the fragrance in the air kept filling their noses.
It had indeed been a long time since they had eaten such fragrant and soft white flour pancakes.
Even though Tianjie Village is richer than other villages, it can only provide enough food for everyone.
As for how good the food is, that is impossible.
"If you don't take it away, I'll eat it for you."
Ruoshui's humorous words made the children quickly take the egg pancakes from Muxiang's hands.
As if he was afraid that the water would be snatched away, he stuffed it into his mouth even though it was too hot.
Mu Xiang glared at Ruo Shui speechlessly, "Can you please stop making trouble?"
"You are so kind."
Ruoshui snorted softly, "Even if the master indulges you, you can't push your luck too far."
Be careful not to get into trouble.
"I don't need Master's supplies, just deduct them from my monthly silver!"
Mu Xiang was afraid that Jiang Wan would be angry, so she quickly explained, but Jiang Wan was not really angry.
He just smiled and said to Muxiang: "Muxiang, you are a doctor, I will not stop you from doing good things.
Being kind is a good thing for a doctor, but it is also a shortcoming. I hope you can consider yourself first before doing good things in the future.
Take care of yourself first and then others, otherwise even the master can’t save you.”
"Did you hear what the master said?"
Ruoshui sneered, "Just wait, trouble will come soon."
Muxiang didn't understand what was going on. Before she could think about it, she saw a group of children from the village running towards her.
Probably because they saw the children of Tianyu family eating egg pancakes and learned that they were given by a noble person, those children came to the window with eager eyes.
Everyone stared at the omelettes in Muxiang and the others' hands and swallowed their saliva.
Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan had already finished their portions in a few bites and now took a sip of brown sugar water.
Ruoshui had anticipated this scene and had finished eating the omelet.
Only Ganze and Muxiang were dumbfounded when they saw the people coming!
In fact, Ganze is not a person who is easily soft-hearted. When Muxiang was struggling and hesitating, he stuffed the egg pancake in Muxiang's hand into Muxiang's mouth.
"Sister, don't bring trouble to the master."
At least no children in this village starved to death.
If they took out large amounts of food, it would only arouse envy and jealousy from others.
More importantly, this is totally inconsistent with their identity as businessmen.
"I know."
Muxiang forced herself not to look at the children's eager eyes and lowered her head to eat the pancake in her hand.
"Xinxin wants to eat too?"
Jiang Wan raised her hand and teased Xinxin in her arms, without looking at the children who were drooling over her outside.
Song Jiuyuan's heart was harder than iron, so naturally he would not speak up for the children.
Muxiang felt her scalp tingling as she was watched by so many people while eating pancakes.
She imitated Ganze and finished the omelet in her mouth in just a few bites.
I almost choked and rolled my eyes.
"Drink some water."
Ganze quickly handed her a cup of brown sugar water, and Muxiang took the bowl and drank it heroically.
Seeing her in such a mess, Ruoshui couldn't help but sneer and said, "Do you know that you are causing trouble for the master?"
"Um."
Muxiang lowered her head and drank a sip of the brown sugar water in the bowl.
Seeing her lost expression, Jiang Wan didn't say anything.
Her disciples needed to grow up, and she couldn't possibly protect them from all the crises they encountered along the way.
Look, they have no more cakes.
The children hung their heads in disappointment, not daring to offend Jiang Wan and the others, and ran away quickly.
It was Tian Niangzi who noticed that something was wrong and learned the truth after feeding her child a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
She angrily went to apologize, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't expect the children to be so ignorant."
Not only did he take the benefactor's things, but he was also seen by other kids and almost got into big trouble.
"No problem."
Jiang Wan smiled and shook her head, and asked Muxiang and Ruoshui to pack up their things. If everything was correct, they would leave.
Upon hearing this, Tian Niangzi was very surprised and rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously.
"Ma'am, are you leaving soon?"
If they leave, what will happen to their village?
If those men in black come again, the men in their village will not be able to withstand it.
Thinking of the bodies that were quietly buried last night, Tian Niangzi felt her scalp tingling slightly.
"Well, someone will come to help you soon. We have to go back to celebrate the New Year, so we won't stay long."
Jiang Wan estimated that the people found by Song Si and Song Wu would protect them, and the purpose of their coming here had been achieved.
There's no need to stay too long.
Seeing that they had made up their minds, even though Tian Niangzi was worried, she couldn't force them to stay.
She sighed with a worried look on her face, then went back to discuss it with her man.
She did not use moral blackmail, and Jiang Wan had a good impression of her. Before leaving, she left six cents of silver on the table.
As expected, before leaving the village, Jiang Wan saw the officials who came to take over.
Song Si and Song Wu were walking in front, and it was obvious that this person was brought by them.
They took their people and went directly to see the village chief.
Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and others left Tianjie Village directly, and the rest of the matters were handled by Song Si and Song Wu.
Muxiang looked at the village getting farther away and said worriedly:
“I don’t know if those men in black will come again.”
"There are also government officials here."
Ruoshui said angrily: "Besides, you don't intend to hide the village chief's secret.
What follows is a contest between those people and the government, so it is better for us to stay away from them."
Ruoshui is very smart. Although she doesn't know the details, she has guessed some of them.
But she felt very sorry that her master and Song Jiuyuan didn't want to have a share of the profits.
Having achieved their goal, Jiang Wan and the others naturally headed back. As the weather got colder, Jiang Wan carried the children to the space.
Song Jiuyuan was driving the carriage in front.
At night, the carriage suddenly stopped. Just when Jiang Wan was wondering, Song Jiuyuan said:
"There's a person ahead."
"Um?"
Jiang Wan lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked over, only to see a dark shadow suddenly rushing towards her.
This person was clearly the Zhuoma they had met before, and she seemed to be waiting for them.
"lady."
"What's up?"
Jiang Wan was a little surprised, but she remembered that Tianyu had come to ask her specifically before.
Jiang Wan was very grateful that she helped them hide the matter.
"Did something happen in my uncle's village?"
Zhuoma asked very directly. It was cold, so she didn't dare to go over. She was also worried that something might happen to Jiang Wan and the others.
"Don't worry, it's nothing."
Jiang Wan smiled and comforted her, and Zhuoma finally breathed a sigh of relief. In the morning, she saw the officials passing by.
It seemed that they went to Tianjie Village, and she was worried about her uncles.
"Ma'am, thank you for reminding me before, otherwise my family's food would have been almost stolen."
It's freezing cold.
Some people were about to starve to death, and evil thoughts began to develop.
If Zhuoma had not listened to Jiang Wan and hidden most of the food, she would not be able to stand in front of them in such good condition.
"You're welcome. You're just smart."
Jiang Wan likes smart people, and since she needed to rest at night, she simply asked her.
"Do you have an extra room in your house? We can pay for it."
The snow was still falling and the road was very difficult to walk on. Jiang Wan and the others did not plan to walk at night.
