Chapter 18 Why is this girl hitting people?
"No way! She injured me, she has to pay me back. I absolutely won't get up today without these two taels of silver!" With that, she sat on the ground and continued to wail.
The village chief rubbed his temples and glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi: "Why don't you compensate her a few coins? After all, you did hurt her."
"Want some money? I don't have any. I spent it all today."
"You're bluffing! You just spent two taels of silver to hire someone to move your things. If you really don't have any money, you can give me this whole basket of stuff."
Widow Wang had spotted the things in Jiang Pangya's basket early on, and a greedy look appeared in her eyes.
At this time of year, who would have the money to cut such a large piece of pork?
The last time she ate pork was during the Chinese New Year. Her mother-in-law cut four slices of meat for her brother-in-law, and she ate one slice as well.
Thinking this, he couldn't help but swallow hard, his eyes gleaming with desire.
Of course, everyone saw what was in the basket, and it was impossible not to feel envious.
These days, it's considered a good family if they don't go hungry; I've never seen anyone buy such a big basket of stuff.
And that fatty pork, cut into such a big piece, how much silver must it cost?
“Village chief, you are supposed to be the elder, and I, as the junior, should listen to you. However, everyone should have seen what Wang Cuihua said to me. She hit me first, and everyone saw that. I only touched her twice, and she sat on the ground and started crying. Is she trying to extort money from me?”
Jiang Nuanzhi walked up to Wang Cuihua and said, "Look at her hands and feet, aren't they perfectly fine? If you can get money and meat just by sitting on the ground and crying, then will everyone follow suit?"
Uncle Li, when I entered the village, I felt that you were extremely fair and would definitely give me a just explanation.
The village chief wanted to smooth things over, but Jiang Nuanzhi was no pushover. She just smiled at him, looking very obedient.
Village chief: "That makes some sense."
"You're talking nonsense! You beat my arm like this! And you're still pretending to be a good person! My life is so miserable!" She cried and slapped her thigh. "Village chief, the person who hurts you has to pay for it. You have to give me justice. Otherwise, I'll come to your house and make a scene every day."
"You're being completely unreasonable!"
Just as the village chief was at his wit's end, someone in the crowd shouted, "Look, isn't Widow Wang's arm perfectly fine? She can even slap her thigh!"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards Wang Cuihua.
Wang Cuihua was also stunned for a moment, and looked at her hands.
What happened? I was in so much pain just now. When will it get better?
Jiang Nuanzhi, who had just reattached Wang Cuihua's arm, looked at the village chief with a smile: "Uncle Li, look, this person is just trying to extort money from me."
The village chief pointed at Wang Cuihua with exasperation, and after a long while, he flung his sleeves and said, "You're a real scoundrel! Don't you have any shame?"
"I...I didn't! I was in so much pain just now!" As she spoke, she saw Jiang Nuanzhi next to her and immediately pointed at her, saying, "It must have been that bitch who did it. She's the one who tricked me."
"Shut up! Your foul language is truly unsightly. Today I'm going to tell your mother to teach you a lesson."
Upon hearing the village chief mention her mother, Wang Cuihua's face showed a hint of fear: "Village chief, I know I was wrong, I will never do it again, please don't tell her."
Jiang Nuanzhi didn't bother to look anymore and said with a smile, "Since everything's alright, Uncle Li, I'll head back now. The children are waiting for me to come home and cook."
Jiang Nuanzhi felt that this widow Wang was a waste of her fighting power. How old is she? Why is she afraid to call her parents? She's so weak that Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with her.
Sure enough, when other people transmigrate into books and become young ladies from wealthy families, they encounter high-class rivals, while when I transmigrate, I only encounter widows like Wang.
They're both doctors, but when other people transmigrate into books, they solve difficult and complicated cases, while when I transmigrate, I'm either castrating pigs or on my way to castrating pigs.
"Li family's daughter-in-law, you bought so much meat today?" The village women gathered around.
While Jiang Nuanzhi was pondering, she was already surrounded by the older women.
She just smiled and replied, "The children are all growing, so I'm buying some meat to nourish them."
"Wow, this fabric must be really good! You bought two such large bolts of cloth, what are you going to do with them?"
"To make clothes."
"For the child?"
"I do it myself too."
"Oh my, is it Chinese New Year? You're even carrying two chickens."
"Yes, I just came back from the second young master's house. My child was bullied by them, and they even stole our chickens. I just gave Chun Tao a good beating, and now I've brought back our own chickens."
"You little brat, why are you hitting people?" Even if you did hit someone, why did you say it like that?
The surrounding middle-aged women were all stunned.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled and said to the aunties, "Aunties, don't worry about me. I'm naturally strong, and I'll never be at a disadvantage in a fight! Whoever hits my child, I'll beat them to death."
After saying that, she picked up the thick sticks that Young Master Lü and Ah Yong used to carry his basket, gripped them with both hands, and with a snap, broke the sticks in two.
The aunties: "."
Who cares about her? Huh?
Also, how come this chubby girl has such strength? She broke such a thick stick in one go.
Widow Wang must have really suffered a loss at her hands just now, right?
Jiang Nuanzhi stopped paying attention to those older women. In any case, the deterrent effect had been achieved, and anyone who wanted to harm her child in the future would have to think twice.
Then he slung the basket over his shoulder, carried the chicken in his left hand and the quilt in his right, and went into his own yard.
Young Master Lü and Ah Yong were dumbfounded and simply followed her home in a daze.
"I'm sorry you had to see this." Jiang Nuanzhi said to the two of them as she entered the room.
"No, no, no," Ah Yong quickly waved his hand.
"You must be tired too. Take a rest for a while, and I'll make big meat buns for dinner tonight."
As Jiang Nuanzhi went into the house, Lü Shizhu suddenly grabbed A Yong.
“Ah Yong, my dad is right. You really can broaden your horizons in the countryside. You can see more in a day than you have in your entire life. No wonder my dad is so smart. He went to the countryside to make house calls every day when he was young and saw so much.”
Ah Yong: "Young Master, actually..."
Ah Yong thought to himself, "Even though the old man has been to the countryside so many times, he probably hasn't gained any knowledge like this."
However, after thinking about it, he swallowed his words and could only manage a dry laugh: "Young Master, shall we go back?"
Young Master Lü slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Hey? Do you think she might be some kind of reclusive master? Like in those storybooks, she must have some unique martial arts manual, like to live in dilapidated places, and when the time is right, she will find a young man with extraordinary talent to be her successor."
A-Yong: "."
Lu Shizhu whispered mysteriously, "Do I look like a boy with extraordinary talent?"
A-Yong: "."
Seeing that his young master seemed to be getting a little obsessed, A Yong immediately got up and went into the house: "Wife! It's getting late, A Yong and the young master will go back now, and will visit again another day."
Jiang Nuanzhi came out carrying a bowl of water: "Why are you in such a hurry? At least have a sip of water."
Young Master Lü: "Why are you in such a hurry? The master just said he wanted us to stay for steamed buns tonight."
Ah Yong smiled awkwardly: "Madam, no need to trouble you, our young master will be back now."
Then, without saying a word, he grabbed Lü Shizhu and started walking out.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "Then please be careful on your journey. I'm really sorry for not being a good host today. Next time you come, I'll definitely cook a delicious meal to treat you."
"Alright, my lady, there's no need to see me off."
"By the way, madam, this is something our master specifically instructed the young master to give you. It represents a small token of our appreciation from Tongji Medical Center, so please accept it."
A Yong took a package from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Nuanzhi.
