Chapter 224 The Other Side of Ginger Grass

Perhaps it was the pain that made people sober. Qi Xiao was awake for a moment and happened to see Qin Yue's compassionate eyes in the carriage.

“…”

"Hurry up and don't drag me down with you today."

Fu Yuanling finally managed to get the man on the carriage this time. The Qin family's carriage followed behind, gradually leaving the Min family.

The fireworks at night were not very interesting. Jiang Wan was distracted by the fireworks as she was thinking about home. She chartered a boat and went home early the next morning.

When she got home, the tide had just receded. Jiang Wan immediately went back to the house, changed into coarse clothes, and continued to be a fisherman's daughter.

After a day of city life, she found that she still preferred living in the countryside.

"Mother, I'm going out to catch the sea~"

"Go ahead, go ahead. Be careful in the reef area."

Jiang Wan responded while running out.

I almost bumped into someone when I turned the side road without braking.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. We didn't meet each other."

Jiang Wan looked up and saw that it was the young lady named Jiang Cao.

She had a basket tied around her waist and a bucket and some fishing tools in her hands, and it was obvious that she was also preparing to go fishing.

"Miss Jiang, can I go to the sea with you?"

"???"

Jiang Wan was a little surprised. She wasn't even familiar with her, so why would she ask her to go with her?

"I don't know much about seafood, but my mother-in-law insisted that I go fishing and fill up the baskets and buckets before returning."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she looked very pitiful.

The pitiful look was a little deliberate, but Jiang Wan didn't dislike it.

"Then come with me. If you don't know me, just ask me."

Anyway, I'm not giving her my harvest, I'm just saying a few words to help her solve her doubts, it doesn't matter.

Seeing that she was not annoying, Jiang Wan became more patient.

So the two of them went to the beach together.

Jiang Cao knew how to dig clams, so once she arrived, she started digging holes on the beach to catch clams.

After digging for a few times, she suddenly felt the shovel hit something hard. She pried the thing out and saw that it was a crab. She was so scared that she dropped the shovel.

Hearing the crying, Jiang Wan turned around and saw Jiang Cao being chased by a stone crab.

She was chased all the way into the sea before she escaped and ran back to the shore.

"I'm so scared, so scared!"

Jiang Cao patted his chest and sat down on the beach.

"Get up first. The sand is wet. If you sit on it for a while, your pants will get soaked, and it will be difficult to go home."

These words frightened Jiang Cao so much that he quickly stood up and slapped his butt again.

"Miss Xiaowan, you know so much."

"It's all common sense when living by the sea. Aren't you from the coast?"

Jiang Wan asked questions while searching for the tape.

"No, I'm from the north. My money was stolen on the way, and I was targeted by some gangsters, who then sold me here."

Human trafficker!

Jiang Wan became furious when he heard this.

What she hated most were those traffickers who kidnapped women, girls and children, destroying families and ruining people's lives.

"Do you remember your home address? If you do, I can help you mail the letter."

If Jiang Cao's family could come and redeem Jiang Cao, this young lady would be able to escape from this sea of ​​suffering.

"I have no family anymore..."

Jiang Cao said this and suddenly changed his tone.

"No, I have another grandfather, but I don't know where he is."

Jiang Wan's ears twitched.

A mystery of life experience?

This kind of plot usually only happens to the protagonist. She became curious and couldn't help asking a few more questions.

"Do you know your grandfather's name? What's the approximate area where he lives?"

Jiang Cao poked at the sand with a shovel and sighed.

"I don't even know my grandfather's name. I only know that my grandmother always cursed him for having the last name Tie. She received some money from him a few years ago, saying that he was working on an island. After that, there was no news. After she stopped receiving any news from my grandfather, my grandmother never smiled again, and died a few years later in depression."

"Ah? Isn't he a scumbag who abandoned his wife and daughter? Why are you still looking for him?"

"No, grandpa..."

Jiang Cao hesitated for a moment before telling Jiang Wan about the twists and turns. She didn't want her grandfather to be misunderstood.

"In fact, my grandmother was adopted by my grandfather and married off very early. One year, my grandmother was beaten by her ex-husband and hid back in her mother's house. It happened that my grandfather had drunk a little that night and went to the wrong place, and then my mother was born. My grandfather felt that he had made a big mistake, so he knelt in front of the graves of my great-grandfather and great-grandmother for a few days, then gave the house to my grandmother and left."

"After my grandmother found out she was pregnant, she hurried back home with Di, but my grandfather had already passed away, and no one knew where he had gone. He only occasionally sent money back, and later slowly wrote letters, but he never told me his detailed address. He still doesn't know that he has a daughter and granddaughter..."

Jiang Wan was silent for a moment.

It’s hard to comment on this matter.

Jiang Cao was indeed quite courageous, as he actually dared to travel far away alone to look for his relatives.

It's not easy to find someone if you only know his last name.

Besides, Jiang Cao looked to be almost 20 years old, right? Her grandfather should be in his 50s or 60s?

In ancient times, a large number of people died in their fifties or sixties, and not many lived long lives.

I guess there's no chance of seeing each other again.

Alas, how pitiful.

Jiang Wan comforted Jiang Cao with a few words and changed the topic to teach her how to identify seafood.

Jiang Cao was extremely curious as he watched Jiang Wan put a long thing into the bucket.

"What is this? Can I eat it?"

"Of course you can eat it. It's called kelp. It's delicious whether you eat it cold or cook it in soup."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cao's eyes lit up.

She stepped into the sea and picked up several long strands of kelp floating on the surface. She gave one to Jiang Wan and stuffed the rest into the bucket.

"Look! The bucket is full!"

Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This young lady is really good at taking advantage of loopholes.

"Won't your family members scold you if you go back like this?"

"It's okay. They just scolded me, just like a chicken. They didn't dare to hit me too much. At most, they would hit me with a broom a few times."

A gleam of pride flashed in Jiang Cao's eyes.

"Every time they scold me, I break a dish while washing it. Every time they hit me, a chicken or duck will die. They bought me, they can ask me to work, but they can't bully me. Anyway, if they bully me, I will break things. I can't afford to compensate them, at most they will just scold me a few times."

Jiang Wan looked at her with admiration. This young lady was not afraid and would not be bullied. It was refreshing to hear that.

"So what are your plans for the future? Are you going to stay in the village for the rest of your life?"

Jiang Cao's bright eyes suddenly turned dim.

"My household registration is already in that family's house, so I can't leave. Besides, I have nowhere to go. I'll just live like this for now, and it seems to be okay."

Anyway, the man I married is not good at all, so I don't worry about chastity. As long as I do some work every day and have food, drink and shelter, I can put up with the problems of my family.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Jiang Wan said nothing more.

You can't redeem others or make them leave, so if you can't help, just say less.
