Chapter 72 Qian Xile, the Protective Person

After everyone left, Zhang Jinlan went back to the house to get the silver.

Hand it over to the granddaughter-in-law.

"Thank you, grandma." Qian Xile did not refuse.

She took the purse readily and thanked him.

"Silly boy, this is your money, why are you thanking me? Go wash up quickly. You are tired tonight, you should rest early."

Zhang Jinlan's expression gradually changed.

Even laughed twice.

Qian Xile, who had been taught in advance by her mother-in-law, understood it instantly.

Her face suddenly turned red. After a few seconds, she nodded belatedly and quickly returned to the house.

tonight.

There was a partial sense of tremor in one of Jiang's houses.

But Jiang Fubao slept soundly.

After waking up.

My future sister-in-law has already prepared dinner.

A new bride has to make breakfast on the first day to show her filial piety.

"Sister-in-law, you got up so early."

Jiang Fubao yawned three times in a row.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

"Yes, I'm used to getting up early. Come, the water has been drawn for you. Do you want your sister-in-law to help you wash?" Qian Xile asked, holding the basin.

"No, I want to wash it myself." Jiang Fubao shook his head.

She picked up her special toothbrush, put on toothpaste, squatted in the yard and brushed her teeth carefully.

"What is this?"

It was the first time that Qian Xile saw a toothbrush, and she asked with a little curiosity.

"This is a toothbrush, used for brushing teeth. Grandpa and grandma have one too. Do you want one, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Fubao rinsed the foam from his mouth before replying to her.

"It looks expensive. I don't want it. I'll just use willow branches." Qian Xile shook his head repeatedly.

"Okay." Jiang Fubao didn't say much. Anyway, she had collected enough later, so she took them out and gave each person in the family one, no matter how reluctant they were.

Finished washing up.

She sat in the yard and ate her breakfast.

Today, my sister-in-law made egg noodles.

The noodles were tender and had a whole poached egg inside.

When poked with chopsticks, the egg yolk flowed out.

If you fry it for a minute longer, it will be tough; if you fry it for a minute less, it will be too tender.

The taste will be bad.

The heat is controlled perfectly.

It seems that my sister-in-law’s cooking skills are as good as those of my family members.

Jiang Fubao thought in his heart.

She picked up the chopsticks skillfully and started eating.

The egg noodles were filled with lard, sprinkled with some crushed salt, and a few shepherd's purse was boiled. Although it was light, the taste was not bland. Instead, it had the freshness of the egg and the fragrance of the shepherd's purse.

Halfway through the meal, the helpers who were building the house arrived.

There is no one at home.

I took a day off yesterday and also took a day off from working in the fields.

Early in the morning, the men and women in the house went about their own business.

Jiang Fubao promised his grandmother that he would not take anything out during this period.

Naturally, there is no need to go to the mountain.

After dinner, she chatted with Qian Xile in the yard.

To be precise, it was Jiang Fubao who was trying to trick her.

After all, her sister-in-law was the only person in the family who didn't know her secret.

"Sister-in-law, I was almost killed a few days ago."

"What? What's going on?" Qian Xile was shocked.

"There was a bad girl in the village who tricked me into the river and pushed me in. Grandma said I almost drowned. Sister-in-law, I'm going to tell you a secret. Please don't tell anyone else."

Jiang Fubao turned her head and looked to the side. Seeing that no one was eavesdropping, she spoke in a low voice.

"What secret?"

Qian Xile also followed her example and lowered his voice.

"I dreamed of an old man with a white beard. He said he was a god and would make me eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks in the future."

"Hush! Just tell me about this. We are a family, but you must not tell anyone else."

Qian Xile thought Jiang Fubao was in a state of terror after falling into the water.

Afraid that the child would talk nonsense, she quickly covered Jiang Fubao's mouth.

"By the way, whose child was the one who pushed you into the water? Have you looked for her?"

As he spoke, Qian Xile's eyes flashed with a dark light.

Jiang Fubao didn't see it.

"We looked for her. Grandma and the others were gone, but she is the granddaughter of the clan leader."

What a coincidence.

Jiang Fubao's words had just fallen.

Jiang Sanniu passed by her home carrying a bamboo basket.

She was peeking around like a thief.

"It's her! Sister-in-law, you must stay away from her. She is so bad and always bullies me." Jiang Fubao said, pointing outside the door.

"she?"

Qian Xile was stunned, and she quickly walked to the door.

Look out carefully.

After seeing Jiang Sanniu's figure and appearance clearly, she took out a sack from the kitchen and said to Jiang Fubao, "Fubao, your sister-in-law will go out for a while. You just sit in the yard and don't run around."

After saying this, without waiting for Jiang Fubao to answer, he left home without looking back.

Jiang Fubao in the yard was in a daze.

On the other side, Jiang Sanniu, who went up the mountain alone, did not notice that there was someone following her.

Looking for traces of sprouts, Jiang Sanniu came to a remote hillside.

I just wanted to squat down and dig some wild vegetables.

The next second, everything in front of my eyes went dark.

She was kicked to the ground and couldn't even get up.

Jiang Sanniu screamed wildly in fear.

"Who are you? Why are you hitting me? Let me go! Help, help—"

Jiang Sanniu desperately called for help.

"I'm going to hit you, little bastard. You're only seven years old, and you're already playing tricks. You're still a little immature."

Qian Xile slapped Sanniu more than ten times in a row, and finally slapped her until she stopped making any sound.

It turned out that he had fainted.

She snatched away the sack, turned and ran.

Poor Jiang Sanniu, who fainted, was stuck in a blind spot.

Can't see anywhere.

Qian Xile, who had done something bad, ran back home laughing all the way.

"Sister-in-law, where have you been?"

Seeing his sister-in-law finally come back, Jiang Fubao raised his head and asked hurriedly.

"Nothing, just went outside for a walk."

Qian Xile did not tell the truth.

Although she had just beaten the girl to avenge her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law was too young, only three years old.

It’s better not to let her know about the fighting and killing.

Jiang Fubao curled his lips, and seeing that she didn't want to talk, he didn't ask any more questions.

In the evening, Jiang Sanniu, who had been beaten unconscious, woke up. Her face was swollen like a pig's head, but she didn't care about the injuries on her face.

Because there was nothing in her bamboo basket.

And it was getting dark.

She was so scared that she was shaking after being out for so long and not finding even a single wild vegetable.

The only two tender sprouts on the ground were also crushed by her body and became rotten.

Jiang Sanniu ran back home crying.

She wanted to complain and say that she was beaten, but before she could say anything, she was slapped several times by her own mother. The pain on her face made her cry even more.

"He didn't work, but went out to play instead. He even had the nerve to come back after falling down."

Zhou Gaier refused to listen to his daughter's explanation.

After cursing to his heart's content, he returned to the main room to eat.

Jiang Sanniu was forced to kneel again.

She didn't notice that her five-year-old sister was looking at her with a smile at the dinner table.

A few days passed.

Qian Xile's household registration was finally moved to the Jiang family.

From then on, her parents' family could no longer threaten her.

The helpers who built the house came on time every day.

Old bricks and tiles filled the backyard.

Time flies by quickly.

Soon, May arrived.

The Jiang family’s house has been completely built.

The furniture is also ready.

All the houses are made of stone bricks. Although they are made of old bricks and are a little shabby, they are much better than mud and wooden houses.
