Then she looked at Jiang Xingzhou: "What do you think about me setting up a stall to sell this?"
"We can give it a try." Jiang Xingzhou had no objections to these things.
"Can you come with me to town to sell things at a stall today?" Jiang Hua asked immediately.
"Sure," Jiang Xingzhou readily agreed.
“Father, stepmother, I want to go too,” Jiang Jingyi said, raising his hand.
Since both of them had gone out, Jiang Xingzhou wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him alone at home, so he naturally took him along.
"Aren't you going to go up the mountain to check the prey traps?" Jiang Hua asked tentatively.
“We can go tomorrow,” Jiang Xingzhou replied.
"You vicious female supporting character, you have ulterior motives, you are truly wicked!" the system said hatefully.
After breakfast, Jiang Xingzhou was in charge of clearing away the dishes. Jiang Hua went into the kitchen, took out a rooster-shaped bowl, cut up a bowl of pig offal and put it aside. She then took out the mini water vat that she had bought from town the day before and scooped out the still-hot pig offal from the pot.
There were two sets of pig offal in the small water vat, and there was still some left. Jiang Hua then added more brine until it covered the pig offal in the vat.
"We'll pass by Aunt Liu's house later, and we'll give her some to try," Jiang Hua said to Jiang Xingzhou.
"Okay." Jiang Xingzhou agreed, moved the small water vat containing pig offal onto the cart, covered it with a wooden lid, and placed a stone on top to weigh it down.
Jiang Hua also put the chopped pork offal into the bamboo basket, took it with her, and led Jiang Jingyi out the door.
Soon, they arrived at Aunt Liu's house. Unfortunately, when they passed by Madam Xu's house, Madam Xu was sitting in the yard washing clothes, while Lin Shuyan was helping to hang them to dry.
In the past, these chores were all done by the original owner of the body. Now that she is gone, all the chores at home have fallen on Xu Shi's shoulders. As for her grandmother, the eldest Xu Shi...
In her words, her daughter-in-law was there to serve her. Since Xu Shi entered the family, the eldest Xu Shi had never touched any housework; it all fell on Xu Shi.
Xu had two daughters and one son, meaning the original owner of this body also had an older sister. However, when the original owner was five years old, she was sold to a neighboring village to be a child bride.
Therefore, the original owner of this body didn't have much affection for this older sister, and Jiang Hua also saw that the original owner had very few memories of her older sister.
"Sister Er Ya." Lin Shuyan spotted Jiang Hua and the others with her sharp eyes.
At that moment, Aunt Liu was also washing clothes in the yard. Jiang Hua ignored Lin Shuyan and walked into Aunt Liu's yard, with Jiang Jingyi following her.
Jiang Xingzhou waited outside, pushing a cart.
"Er Ya, what brings you here?" Aunt Liu greeted Jiang Hua as she hurriedly wiped the water off her hands and stood up.
"Auntie, I brought you some pig offal to try," Jiang Hua said.
"Pig offal?" Aunt Liu looked at Jiang Hua with a hint of heartache. "That stuff smells so bad, how could you eat it?"
As she spoke, Aunt Liu glanced at Jiang Xingzhou outside the door again and whispered to her, "Er Ya, did Xiao Jiang give all the money to your parents, so the family is now penniless?"
"No, Auntie, this is something I figured out last night. It has no flavor at all."
Before Aunt Liu could answer, a spoilsport voice rang out, and Xu Shi appeared out of nowhere, standing in the fenced yard with her hands on her hips, watching them.
"Xu Erya, how come you're living such a miserable life that you'd rather eat dog meat than pig offal?" Madam Xu mocked.
"Mrs. Xu, Er Ya is still your daughter, how can you say such a thing about her!" Aunt Liu looked at Mrs. Xu in disbelief.
Having lived most of my life, I've never seen a mother talk to her daughter like that.
"A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, and besides, this good-for-nothing has severed ties with us," Xu said with a spit.
"Sister Er Ya, why haven't you come back to see Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt for so long? They miss you very much," Lin Shuyan said as she stepped forward, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Jiang Xingzhou outside the door.
"Sister Er Ya, don't blame your aunt for being harsh. She's just all bark and no bite," Lin Shuyan said softly.
"Heh." Jiang Hua sneered, "What do you mean by sharp tongue but soft heart? I think it's sharp tongue but a heart of stone."
"Sister Er Ya, you!" Lin Shuyan didn't expect Jiang Hua to contradict her like that, and immediately looked at Xu Shi with a wronged expression: "Aunt, Sister Er Ya, she..."
She seemed to want to say something but held back, as if Jiang Hua had bullied her.
"Xu Erya, even if you're married and sever ties, so what? You still bear the surname Xu, and you're still a member of the Xu family." Looking at the aggrieved Lin Shuyan, Madam Xu comforted her with pity, then shouted loudly at Jiang Hua:
"She's only been married for two days, and she's already acting like this, treating her cousin like this!"
"Who cares about the surname Xu? I changed my name a long time ago," Jiang Hua said casually, glancing at Madam Xu.
In the past, when the original owner saw Xu Shi like this, she would have already bowed her head and admitted her mistake to Lin Shuyan. The most outrageous time was when Xu Shi...
He forced the original owner's head down to kneel and kowtow to her, admitting his mistake.
She still wants her to be like the original owner of this body, indulging in wishful thinking and daydreaming.
"Er Ya, what do you mean by that?" Aunt Liu asked, completely bewildered.
“Auntie, Jiang Xingzhou has already helped me register my household as a woman. From now on, I will change my name to Jiang Hua and no longer Xu Er Ya,” Jiang Hua explained.
Fortunately, the laws of the Dasheng Dynasty were relatively lenient on women. Someone like the original owner of this body, who had severed ties with her family and obtained a letter of severance, could buy her life off in one go and register it with the government to establish her own household.
Jiang Xingzhou told her all of this. The letter severing ties and the document authorizing her to become the female lead are still in her space. The night she went back with Jiang Xingzhou, he gave her these two items so she wouldn't have any worries.
Anxin became Jiang Jingyi's stepmother.
"Oh, I see! That's good then. You should live a good life with Xiao Jiang from now on," Aunt Liu said, coming back to her senses.
"Sister Er Ya, how could you do such a rebellious thing?" Lin Shuyan looked at her angrily.
"You little brat, Xu Erya, you've really grown some guts! If you've got the guts, don't ever come back here again!"
When Xu heard that Jiang Hua had changed her name, her anger was no less than Lin Shuyan's, and she completely forgot that she had severed ties with this daughter.
"Auntie, I'm going to set up my stall in town now. Remember to try these braised pork offal." As she spoke, Jiang Hua lifted the lid off the dish covering the bowl.
The enticing aroma of braised pork offal immediately filled the air. Jiang Hua handed the basket to Aunt Liu and left.
After Aunt Liu said goodbye to Jiang Hua, her attention was drawn to the fragrance emanating from the basket. Clearly, Lin Shuyan and Xu Shi from the fence garden had also smelled the fragrance.
