If this method doesn't work, try another one.
"Mother seems to have forgotten things from before. What's wrong? Can Juanjuan tell Mother about it?" Jiang Dai asked softly.
"My parents and brother were going to the market in the city when the oxcart overturned. They were brought back, but Juanjuan had no money and couldn't find a doctor."
Although Juanjuan is only four years old, she is smart from a young age. She doesn't talk much, but her logic is clear and she learns things very quickly.
The matter was explained clearly in just a few words.
Jiang Dai then remembered that there were several unconscious people around her.
She quickly turned her head to check if the people were still alive.
You won't be surprised if you don't look, because once you do, you'll be shocked.
The four people remaining on the bed all had fevers; you could tell by touching them—their bodies were burning hot.
There were bruises of varying sizes on his head and limbs, which were probably left from hitting hard objects.
This is like the whole family dying right from the start!
[A fever this high would have been fatal in ancient times.]
"Juanjuan, go find some cool water and cloth. I'll cool them down first, otherwise they'll all burn to death."
As soon as Jiang Dai finished speaking, Xiao Juanjuan immediately ran out and soon returned with a broken bowl filled with cold water and a piece of rag.
Jiang Dai: [Fine, this family is poor enough.]
After quickly cooling down the people on the bed, Jiang Dai felt her head throbbing more and more.
She raised her hand to touch her head, and the moment she touched the large bump on her head, she gasped in pain.
"Juanjuan, do you know where the money is kept at home?"
Little Curly shook her head. How could she possibly know where the family's money was?
Jiang Dai felt her head throb even more, and she wanted to faint and die so she could start over!
"Juanjuan, do we have any relatives? Grandparents, uncles, aunts, maternal grandparents, maternal uncles, aunts?"
Jiang Dai didn't really want to ask for help from such a young child.
But when she first transmigrated, she had no memories, no cheat codes, no money, and all she had at the beginning was a dilapidated house and a house full of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
She had no choice but to ask Juanjuan for help.
Curly-fingers twisted their clothes as they said, "Grandpa and Grandma separated from us, and Mom has no home."
Jiang Dai sighed and asked, "If Mother needs to borrow money now, who should she ask?"
Juanjuan looked at her mother and said with difficulty, "I'm afraid it's difficult to borrow any..."
Jiang Dai: ? Huh?
...
The villagers love to talk about anything interesting or unusual during meals.
Next door, at Aunt Wang's house.
"Do you think Bai San might not make it and die?"
Aunt Wang was kind-hearted, but she was also somewhat worried about the Bai family next door.
Her five-year-old grandson, Wang Dachui, suddenly poked the chopsticks in the bowl: "Good riddance! The whole family are lazybones, making Juanjuan do all the work herself."
After saying that, Wang Dachui's eyes lit up: "Grandma! Since their whole family is dead, can we take Juanjuan into our home now!"
He really likes Curly-curly.
"Eat your food. The third branch of the Bai family is no longer an option, but don't forget that Juanjuan still has her uncles! It's not our turn."
Wang Dachui lowered his head, muttering somewhat resentfully, "Those two from the Bai family aren't much better."
Aunt Wang glanced at Uncle Wang: "Old man, shall I go to the Bai family's place later? I wonder how they are doing. Juanjuan is only four years old after all."
Grandpa Wang glanced at Grandma Wang, put his chopsticks down on his bowl, and said, "Have you forgotten what that man from the Bai family did last time?"
Last time, when Aunt Wang went to visit Juanjuan who was sick, the shameless Bai family extorted several copper coins from her. They insisted that only Aunt Wang and Dachui had been to their house that day, and that Dachui had taken the lost copper coins.
But that day, their son, Da Chui, noticed that Juan Juan wasn't feeling well, so he specially gave Juan Juan a piece of his treasured malt candy, which was quite remarkable.
Once you're hooked up with a man from the third branch of the Bai family, he's more persistent than a mad dog.
They wouldn't give us any copper coins, so they rolled up the cloth, saying that if it wasn't taken by the sledgehammer, it must have been taken by the cloth.
The Wang family is a kind-hearted family; how could they bear to see such a good child like Juanjuan suffer like that?
Ironically, the Bai family beat their own child, yet the Wang family was still forced to pay money unjustly.
Aunt Wang remained silent. Although she liked and pitied Juanjuan, the Bai family members were indeed like a persistent leech.
In the silence, a knock came at the door, quite politely.
"Hey! The door's not locked, come in!"
We're all from the same village, and since we're having a meal, there aren't many formalities.
The door was ajar; just push it open and come in.
As Aunt Wang spoke, she looked towards the door, and then the entire Wang family fell silent, as if facing a formidable enemy.
The one standing at the door, isn't that the Bai family's daughter-in-law they were just talking about?
Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang looked at each other.
Was Bai San's wife driven mad by the impact?
Who knows what kind of trouble they're up to now!
The couple, both over forty years old, immediately perked up.
