Chapter 62 Bribing Servants
Jiang Tangtang didn't know that the two of them had already found an excuse for her in their minds. She was thinking that when they asked her, she would fool them with the answer she had prepared earlier.
Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't ask any other questions except surprise and praise.
Jiang Tangtang felt that her work was in vain. She handed the cakes to the two of them and said, "Eat your fill. Take two more with you later and eat them when you get hungry while working in the fields."
She also gave a bowl of chicken noodle soup to each of the servants, but the adults' bowls did not have much noodles or soup, while the children and the elderly had a little more.
But even so, it is exciting enough.
In the past, they could only eat white flour during the New Year and other festivals. And that white flour was not as white as this one, not to mention that their family did not have the skills to make noodles of such uniform thickness.
Unexpectedly, they are now living a better life as servants than before.
Moved by the servants, Jiang Tangtang called a few children over and announced that dinner was ready.
"Wow! It smells so good!" Lu Tiantian said sweetly as always, "Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better."
Jiang Tangtang was so amused by her that she felt that it would not be so annoying to go into the space to clean the pile of home appliances.
"Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. You really know how to make people happy." Jiang Tangtang ruffled her fluffy hair. She really wanted to braid her hair, put shiny hairpins on her head, and dress her up beautifully like a little princess.
Hearing his mother praising his sister, Lu Jingheng felt a little envious. But he quickly became like a grown-up and said sensibly, "I'll go call my great-grandmother and second uncle to come over for dinner."
This morning, while Jiang Tangtang and the others went to the wasteland, Madam Lu went to the river alone to wash clothes.
She was old and had never done such rough work before. After washing the clothes, she started to feel unwell. After moving in, she has been lying in bed.
Lu Shili was watching over from the side.
The noble lady who once had a group of slaves to serve her, the favored son of heaven who once had a bright future, has now become such a miserable situation. No matter how the two of them persuade themselves to accept the reality, their hearts are still wrapped in great loss and confusion.
Especially Mrs. Lu, she felt that she could not help in any way and would only be a burden to her grandchildren if she lived, so she might as well die.
At that moment, Jiang Tangtang once again saved the two people's emotional breakdown with a hot meal.
The yellow chicken soup has white noodles floating in it and a handful of green chopped green onions sprinkled on top.
Just looking at it makes one's appetite increase.
Not to mention the rich aroma that permeates the air.
The family sat at a tattered table, eating so much that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Jiang Tangtang was also very satisfied with the meal. The chives in the space and the natural and pollution-free pheasant made the taste really delicious.
She didn't control her appetite today and ate a whole bowl.
After eating, she touched her slightly bulging belly and suddenly felt guilty. Although she has lost some weight now, she can't be proud and must continue to lose weight.
Jiang Tangtang resisted the urge to lie down like Ge You and took the initiative to take over the task of delivering meals to Lu Shiyan and the others.
He Qiuniang and Hu Dangui seized the time to reclaim the wasteland.
The two men were already experienced workers, and after having eaten their fill, they worked with great energy.
Although the two of them were delayed for a while because of Lu Zhixi's illness, their speed was much faster than that of the two big families, Lu and Peng.
Seeing that no one from the Lu family's eldest branch came, only two servants came to work, and they cleared more land than them. The people from the second and third branches of the Lu family all looked very unhappy.
Lu Bowen always slacked off when he was working, but he kept a close eye on Jiang Caiwei, urging her to work faster.
Jiang Caiwei hated Lu Bowen, this incompetent old man with a terrible temper. She didn't want to live like this for even one more day.
As long as she completes her mission and takes revenge on those who bullied her, she will leave this damn place.
When He Qiuniang went to the forest to collect firewood, she quickly chased after her and said, "Do you know who I am?"
He Qiuniang looked puzzled. She looked up at her and continued to pick up firewood.
"I'm Jiang Tangtang's cousin, a blood relative!"
Jiang Caiwei said to herself: "You may have heard some bad rumors, but I really have always regarded her as my own sister. Those rumors outside are all misunderstandings, and I have always wanted to resolve this misunderstanding. But my cousin now has a deep misunderstanding of me, can you help me?"
He Qiuniang pretended not to hear and continued working.
Seeing that He Qiuniang still ignored her, Jiang Caiwei directly took out a silver note from the lining of her clothes and held it in front of her, saying: "As long as you are willing to help me, these ten taels of silver will be yours."
"I don't want your money. If you want to resolve any misunderstanding, go directly to my wife!" After saying that, He Qiuniang hugged the firewood and quickly left the woods.
Looking at He Qiuniang's back, Jiang Caiwei gritted her teeth in anger. This lowly person actually dared to reject her.
She gritted her teeth secretly and looked at Hu Dangui.
She just didn't believe that such a fool could make several servants obey her so completely and make them all side with her.
She always finds a way out.

The sun is a little strong at noon, but fortunately it is winter. Although the sun is strong, it is not uncomfortable to expose to the sun as in summer.
However, when Jiang Tangtang walked to the thatched hut with the things in his hands, he was already sweating profusely.
Lu Shiyan was carrying a basin of dirty water out. When he saw Jiang Tangtang, he was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously moved away from her before speaking, "Why are you here?"
"I made chicken noodle soup at noon and brought some over for you." Jiang Tangtang looked at the bowl in his hand and said, "You go ahead and do your work!"
Lu Shiyan took the dirty water in the basin far away and poured it out before coming back, still avoiding her and talking from a distance, "Next time you make something, you don't have to send it over specially. We can just make whatever we want to eat."
When Jiang Tangtang and others moved their things, they left a pot and some food for them.
Jiang Tangtang placed the hanging pot on the simple stove and casually asked, "How is my sister?"
"You look much better." Lu Shiyan thought about the strange potion in the porcelain bottle. In the end, he didn't ask anything and thanked her solemnly. "I really owe it to you today. Thank you for the medicine!"
"It's okay as long as it's healed! Actually, I got that medicine by accident. I didn't know if it would work at the time. Hearing you say that, I feel relieved."
Jiang Tangtang patted his chest exaggeratedly and said, "It's alright, I'll be leaving first! Oh, remember to eat your noodles early, or they won't taste good if they clump together."
After leaving the thatched house, Jiang Tangtang turned around and went to Manager Xia's house.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang, Manager Xia smiled and said, "I was just planning to bring Zhengqiang to see you, but I didn't expect you to come here first. It's great that you're here. You can discuss the house renovations yourselves!"
