Chapter 156 Paving the Road

Jiang Wan was quite curious, but did not go up to talk to her.

She had important things to do right now, and besides, she wasn't very familiar with this Jiang Cao.

I started looking for suitable stones again, and just as I marked a few stones, I heard a burst of ugly insults.

Jiang Wan was quite close and could see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clearly.

"Is your brain full of shit?! You can't even wash clothes properly! My dog ​​is more useful than you!"

The old lady washed the remaining clothes while cursing, then threw them into her daughter-in-law's basket and started walking back cursing.

Jiang Wan saw Jiang Cao laughing secretly behind her mother-in-law's back, but it only lasted for a moment, and then her lifeless face returned to its original state.

…………

It's hard to comment.

This young lady doesn't seem as weak as I imagined.

Can a normal person endure staying in such an environment where you are scolded every day?

Jiang Wan just sighed and continued looking for her stone.

After going around in circles, I finally found all the stones and marked them all.

Seeing that the sun had been rising for nearly an hour, Jiang Wan felt a little tired, so she washed her face in the ditch and sat for a while before starting to walk back.

She walked fast and met two aunties on the way. They must have just finished washing clothes upstream.

The two were talking about village gossip, and suddenly the conversation turned to their cousin.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but slow down his pace.

"I heard that Master Yin's daughter is already fifteen years old. Do you think he will marry her to someone from our village?"

"How is that possible? She was a lady from a wealthy family. At the very least, she could marry someone from the city. How could she marry someone from the countryside?"

"That's not necessarily true. They don't have many friends in the city. They have been in the village for more than a month, and no one has visited them. I think there is hope. Maybe my Xiaosheng..."

"Come on, even if she didn't marry into the city, it wouldn't be your Xiaosheng's turn. I saw that kid from the Cai family hanging around outside Doctor Yin's house these days, and he even went in twice, tsk tsk~"

Jiang Wan frowned. Didn’t Cai Shuyuan look for Baozhu once?

"Why is he going to Doctor Yin's house? Aren't the two families at odds with each other?"

"You forgot, Master Yin's family is building a new house these days, and his daughter lives in Doctor Yin's house. Maybe they knew each other in Kyoto before."

"Ah (second sound)... Didn't that guy just have an affair with Qian Yue?"

"Who knows? Maybe he wants to see Doctor Yin for something. Just keep it to yourself and don't spread it around."

Jiang Wan: “…”

I was following behind, and even an adult didn't notice. The aunties really have poor vigilance.

Wait! When did Cai Shuyuan go to his house to look for the pearl again?

As soon as Jiang Wan got home, she took Baozhu to the kitchen.

"Cai Shuyuan came to see you again?"

Baozhu was shocked and asked how Xiaowan knew that.

Without asking, just looking at her expression, Jiang Wan knew it was true.

"Why did he come to you to please you?"

"no……"

Baozhu chuckled and reached into her arms to take out a small piece of silver.

"He's here to pay back the money."

Jiang Wan felt relieved and a smile appeared on her face.

"You're great. You got the money back so quickly. Did you ask the village chief? Or your parents?"

“I didn’t look for the village chief…”

Baozhu was too embarrassed to tell others about the embarrassing things she had done. Comparatively speaking, it was easier to tell her parents.

"After I told my mother about this, she went to find Cai Shuyuan's mother. I don't know what they talked about, but Cai Shuyuan came to return the money the next day and said he would not bother me again."

"Cai Shuyuan is so sensible?"

Jiang Wan was a little bit unconvinced.

Baozhu's eyes were wandering and her hands were twirling behind her back.

Of course, Cai Shuyuan was not so easy to get rid of. It was only after his mother went to their straw hut and had a big fight with his mother, and smashed a lot of things, that he honestly paid back the money.

There is no need to tell Xiaowan about this, lest she have a bad impression of our family.

"Okay, just resolve this matter, and don't bother with him anymore."

Jiang Wan returned the pearl to A Niang and went to the village to hire a maid to help him move the stones.

Those stones were quite heavy for me, but the village ladies were quite strong, and with the help of a backpack, they finished moving them in two quarters of an hour.

Not only did he move all the stones, he also helped Jiang Wan arrange them neatly according to her wishes.

Jiang Wan stepped on the stone road, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. However, after walking around for so long, she felt like something was missing.

Oh, but there's still something missing.

Jiang Wan found a sack and ran to the beach, carrying several bags of sand back and forth, pouring them all into the gaps between the stones.

The sand seeps down through the gaps in the oyster shells little by little, gradually filling up the gaps underneath.

Stepping on the stones, they felt more solid.

When I have time, I will get some wild flowers and grass and plant them in the yard. It’s a beautiful thing just thinking about it.

Jiang Wan felt that she had accomplished something great, and couldn't help but run to show off to her mother. But she was examining a pregnant woman.

This person looks familiar, maybe the pregnant woman with twins whom I met on the boat.

Jiang Wan saw that A Niang was busy and did not disturb her.

She had a lot to do today. She had to prepare lunch, cut the squid slices into small pieces and pack them, and then go fishing.

——————

In a blink of an eye, it was already afternoon.

Jiang Wan looked at the sun and was a little hesitant about whether to go to the beach. There is no sunscreen here and you will get tanned very quickly if you go out in the sun.

My tanned skin from the exile trip hasn't recovered yet. If I continue to sunbathe, I'm sure I'll end up like Anan.

Jiang Wan hesitated between sunscreen and Bai Li, and finally chose Bai Li decisively.

Anyway, the ointment that my mother makes usually has a whitening effect, so it shouldn’t be a problem to sunbathe occasionally.

Jiang Wan comforted herself by putting on her hat, picking up her sea-chasing suit, and excitedly heading for the beach.

Recently, the family has been eating shrimp and fish every day, and there are so many hanging in the kitchen that it will take too long to finish them all. So this time she went out to the sea and went directly to the reef area.

Mainly catching conches and crabs.

I didn't get anything good the past two days, but today I was lucky. As soon as I entered the reef, I picked up half a bucket of sea urchins. I also caught a lot of conchs, all in the basket.

Jiang Wan was not satisfied yet and set her sights on a large blue crab. This one was hiding in the cracks between the rocks and would not come out no matter how hard she poked it.

After half-crouching for a while, her knees started to hurt, so she decided to stand up and take a break. But when she turned her head, she saw a yellow object stuck under a large rock on the other side!

So big!

Bigger than her face!

Jiang Wan's eyes widened, and she immediately gave up the blue crab and turned to poke it.
