Chapter 44 She Waits for the Show
Jiang Wan immediately repeated what she had heard tonight, and then said to Ren Bang:
"Anyway, be more careful."
She was just giving them a reminder. As for how they were going to respond, Jiang Wan didn't want to care. She just had to protect her own family.
"Okay, thank you, big sister."
Ren Bang nodded. Jiang Wan didn’t know whether he believed it or not. Anyway, she had conveyed her message, so she returned to the dilapidated house.
The family had just finished washing up, and Song Jiuli warmed up the water for her, "Sister-in-law, I've boiled some water for you to wash up."
"Thanks!"
Jiang Wan nodded, filled her cup with water and went into the house to wash up. Tonight she would sleep with the eldest lady and Song Jiuli.
Song Jiuchi and Song Jiuyuan were in another room, and Song Jiuchi was carefully applying medicine to Song Jiuyuan.
Song Jiuli couldn't sleep. "Mom, what do you think they want to do?"
"With so many of us, no matter what we do, there is always a way to solve it."
Mrs. Song sighed. In fact, she was also nervous inside, but she didn't dare to show it, for fear that the children would be scared.
Jiang Wan did warn him, "No matter what you do, just don't eat the food the villagers give us tomorrow morning."
"I see."
Song Jiuli responded softly, and perhaps because he was too tired from the journey, he fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Wan glanced at the two people who were sleeping soundly, quietly entered the space to eat something, and then went to sleep.
I was woken up by the noisy sounds outside early in the morning. Madam Song was packing up with Song Jiuli. When she saw her wake up, she said gently:
"Wanwan, can't you sleep a little longer?"
"No, we should be leaving soon."
Jiang Wan washed up quickly, and the others packed their luggage and left the house, only to find that everyone was gathered in the threshing ground again.
Some villagers were busy making breakfast, while Chen Qian stood beside Xu Wei anxiously. When he saw Jiang Wan, he gave her a smug smile.
Jiang Wan: ...
Maybe some people just don't have brains.
"Hey, you guys finally came out."
Madam Song had been waiting for them for a long time just to ridicule them.
"Xu Lizheng's family said they would like to invite everyone to have breakfast to thank Qianqian."
"What are you so proud of?"
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes and glanced at Song Chen, whose face was livid, and asked, "Can you eat this breakfast, second brother?"
Song Chen felt a headache when his love rival invited him to breakfast, but he would eat it in order to survive.
“It has nothing to do with you!”
Song Chen had a cold face and seemed to be fine. Jiang Wan thought of Aunt Duan who passed away yesterday. She thought it was really blind of her to like a man like this.
At this moment, only the mother and son were in the mood to find fault. The old lady and the third lady were so sad because of Song Lao San that they were like eggplants hit by frost and were listless.
"We can't eat this breakfast."
Song Jiuyuan looked at the person who was making breakfast not far away with serious eyes, and spoke to Jiang Wan and the others in a low voice.
"Don't worry, brother. Sister-in-law said last night that we won't eat it."
Song Jiuli was rarely sensible. Song Jiuyuan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wan in surprise. She seemed... a lot smarter.
The two looked at each other in silence and quickly turned away. Jiang Wan and Ren Bang, who was not far away, looked at each other. The other nodded slightly, and Jiang Wan knew what was going on.
On the other side, Chen Qian saw that Jiang Wan had no unusual expression, and felt uncomfortable, so she walked over.
She looked a little embarrassed, after all, the hardships she had suffered these days were not in vain, but she was still arrogant when standing in front of Jiang Wan.
"Jiang Wan, shouldn't you thank me for having a good breakfast?"
She said this very loudly, so that everyone could hear it and remember her kindness.
She even glanced at Ren Bang specifically. Jiang Wan sneered. If Chen Qian knew that Xu Wei wanted to keep her as his wife, she didn't know what she would think.
"I hope you can still say this after eating."
Jiang Wan curled her lips meaningfully and did not argue with Shen Qian. She was waiting to see the good show that was about to happen.
It felt like another punch on cotton. Chen Qian stomped his feet in anger and walked a few steps to Xu Wei.
"Brother Xu, Jiang Wan and the others always bully me..."
"Don't be sad."
Xu Wei glanced at Jiang Wan not far away, and his heart moved slightly. The young lady was pretty, but she didn't look like someone who could be easily messed with.
In comparison, Xu Wei prefers someone like Chen Qian who is well-behaved, obedient and gentle, so he said in a gentle voice:
"I invited you to this breakfast, so you can do whatever you want."
"Really?"
Chen Qian's eyes were sparkling, and this look made Xu Wei's heart move. The two of them looked as if they were alone and caught Song Chen's attention.
Jiang Wan obviously noticed that Song Chen was so angry that he was about to smoke. Although Aunt Duan also did this kind of thing, she did it secretly.
But Chen Qian's blatant behavior obviously made Song Chen lose face, and Chen Qian was his legal wife.
In short, the result of Chen Qian's coquettish behavior was that the job of distributing breakfast fell on her, and she wanted to use this to make things difficult for Jiang Wan and the others.
Jiang Wan sneered. It was just right that she didn’t want to drink the porridge.
When we were waiting in line to get breakfast, as expected, each person was given a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge. Chen Qian didn't give Jiang Wan a steamed bun, and she only got half a bowl of porridge, which was all water.
"I see you're not very hungry, this should be enough, right?"
Jiang Wan didn't reply to her, but walked away with the bowl in her hand. If it wasn't for the purpose of letting Xu Wei lower their guard, she would never have come to queue up.
The same thing happened when it was Song Jiuli and Song Jiuchi's turn. Song Jiuli deliberately said a few words in anger.
What's even more outrageous is that because Song Jiuyuan was not well and could not queue up in person, Chen Qian actually asked Song Jiuyuan to go in person and refused to give Song Jiuchi the clothes.
Song Jiuchi smashed the bowl in anger, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I won't starve to death without this meal."
"Then you'll starve to death!"
Chen Qian raised her chin proudly, Song Jiuchi started to walk away, and Xu Wei became anxious.
"Wait wait, little brother, Qianqian is just joking with you, you can't go hungry."
If he really doesn't eat it and ruins their good deeds, grandpa and dad will kill him.
"Brother Xu."
Chen Qian acted in dissatisfaction and acted like a spoiled child. She really wanted to not let Song Jiuchi and the others have breakfast. After all, she was also starving like this in the past.
"Qianqian, stop making trouble. My grandfather is kind-hearted. He will be angry if he knows."
Xu Wei lowered his voice and spoke in Shen Qian's ear. The two of them were very close to each other, and their actions were ambiguous.
Song Chen, who was standing behind Song Jiuchi, clenched his fists and glared at Chen Qian fiercely. Chen Qian reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xu."
She angrily filled two bowls of porridge for Song Jiuchi, but still didn't give him any steamed buns. Xu Wei didn't care. The point was that he had to drink the porridge.
Song Jiuchi came back with two bowls of thin porridge. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuli had already quietly prepared the porridge and were eating sweet potatoes.
"Give it to me."
Song Jiuyuan took the porridge from Song Jiuchi's bowl and pretended to drink it with a trick.
