Chapter 110 House Thief

Jiang Ye climbed up the tree like a monkey.

"Sister, don't move. I'll pick them. Let my brother-in-law open them from below."

Jiang Yu smiled and took out the two flints and gloves she brought with her. "I have prepared them. Just pick them."

He Tingyue even took out a folding knife from nowhere. "Pick them."

In fact, there were many chestnuts that had just fallen from the tree at the bottom, but Jiang Yu didn't like them. She only wanted the freshly picked big chestnuts.

Jiang Ye moved quickly and picked a basket full of chestnuts and passed it down. He Tingyue put it aside and handed the basket to him again.

He and Jiang Yu sat together to open the chestnuts.

It was obviously not the first time for Jiang Yu to pick chestnuts. The action of opening chestnuts was very skillful.

Before long, the three of them had opened a basket of chestnuts.

Jiang Yu mentioned it, "There are dozens of pounds."

It's no good to eat too many chestnuts, these are enough.

"Aye, come down, that's enough!"

Jiang Ye jumped down from the tree and looked up.

"We picked enough, but at first glance, it looks like nothing has moved."

These chestnut trees have been growing for many years, and chestnut thorns of all sizes are hanging on the trees, densely packed.

They only picked from one of the trees, and after dozens of pounds, there were still a lot left.

"How about I ask Liuzi if he wants it? If he wants it, I'll bring Feiyan over to help pick it some other day."

She was also obsessed with money, and wanted to sell anything she saw.

Jiang Yu looked at He Tingyue for his opinion.

He Tingyue smiled, "That's a good idea. Otherwise, it would be a waste to let them fall. Let's go ask later."

Jiang Ye nodded vigorously, "Okay, then I'll stay here and pick more. They won't go bad anyway. I'll help you, no need to bring people here to pick them."

He Feiyan is a city girl who has never suffered. How could she pick chestnuts?

If Lai Liuzi doesn't want them, she can keep them and give them away.

"These chestnuts are too heavy. Why don't we leave them here and pick persimmons before going back." Jiang Yu weighed them and decided to carry Fei Jin'er on his back.

They had to avoid people when they went back later, otherwise they couldn't hide these things.

So, Jiang Yu took them to find the persimmon tree.

"The persimmons on these two persimmon trees are big and sweet. You can have a taste."

Jiang Yu picked one, wiped it with his sleeve, and took a bite.

It tasted the same as before.

Jiang Ye sighed, "Sister, no wonder no one has discovered this place. It's too remote. Most people don't dare to come here."

It's not that everyone likes to go to the mountains. There are wild beasts on the mountains. If you are unlucky and encounter one, your life will be in danger.

Jiang Yu found a clean place to sit down.

"When you are hungry, you can even chew the bark of the tree. Who cares if it is dangerous or not?"

Especially in autumn and winter, there is no wild vegetables on your body, and these are the only things you can eat.

"No more talking, hurry up and pick them, we will go back after picking them."

Persimmons are easier than chestnuts. Just pick them and put them in the backpack.

"Don't pick too many, you can't carry it."

He Tingyue planned to carry the chestnut basket, and give him some persimmons, and let Jiang Yu carry the rest.

If he picked too many, he couldn't carry them back, so it was better to leave them on the tree and come back next time.

Jiang Ye said, "Sister, you can ask Sixth Brother if he wants persimmons. We can't eat all of them, and hanging them on the tree will also feed the birds."

"Okay, that's enough, let's go down the mountain first."

Jiang Ye nodded, "I'll pack the hens and eggs for you, you go down the mountain first. There is another chicken in Uncle Youfu's house, don't forget it, sister."

Jiang Yu slapped her head, she almost forgot.

"Don't touch the chicken there, I'll take the one in Uncle Youfu's house, maybe I have to come back tomorrow."

Taking three chickens back at once, it was too conspicuous.

"Okay, then put down the basket and I'll carry it for you."

Jiang Yu waved his hand, "You still have to go back to pick chestnuts, don't you? Go first, don't worry about me, your brother-in-law and I are not going home, we're going back to the city."

Jiang Ye didn't delay and went straight to the chestnut tree.

Jiang Yu and He Tingyue went down the mountain carrying chestnuts and persimmons, and went to He Youfu's house to get a chicken.

"Auntie, I'll leave some chestnuts for you. We'll go back to the city first and come to visit next time."

Before Liu Junmei could react, Jiang Yu had already poured out some chestnuts and followed He Tingyue away in a blink of an eye.

After they left Nanhe Village, Wang Meili heard Yang Cuilan coming over and asking, "When Jiang Yu left, she was still holding a chicken. Did you give it to her? Wang Meili, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

Wang Meili cursed, "Damn it, how dare you steal my chicken!"

When she got home, she counted two or three times and found that her chickens were not missing.

"Where did that damn girl get her chickens?"

After asking, she found out that Jiang Yu had caught them from the captain's house.

Yang Cuilan guessed, "Maybe she and Liu Junmei bought it? Tsk tsk, she doesn't let your mother make money even though she has money. It seems Jiang Yu doesn't treat you well."

Wang Meili spitted at her, "You're talking nonsense! My Jiang Yu knew that her brother was injured and needed chicken to replenish his body, so she didn't dare to ask me for it. She also gave me a can of Ya Shuang Snow Cream. Such a big can only be sold for 50 cents in the city. You can see if your son-in-law will give it to you!"

No matter what happened at home, when facing outsiders, she and Jiang Yu were from the same country and had to act in unison.

She could still distinguish between inside and outside.

Aunt Du didn't quite believe it when she heard it: "Wang Meili, just brag. Jiang Yu really gave you such an expensive thing, why don't you use it?"

"You must be lying, I don't believe it. Who can brag better than Wang Meili? Not a word of hers is worth listening to."

"Who would use a 50-cent vanishing cream?"

"Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. You can't live like this!"

Wang Meili said, "My son-in-law earns more than 100 yuan a month in the city, so what is a 50-cent bottle of Ya Shuang? If you don't believe me, I'll take you home to see it!"

Yang Cuilan fell behind and hurried to catch up. Although she was a little jealous, she still wanted to see it.

When they got home, Wang Meili asked them to wait outside and went in to get it.

She had locked the bottle of Ya Shuang.

But when she opened it, she found that the Ya Shuang, which she had not used once, was missing!

Wang Meili searched the whole house but couldn't find it.

She screamed, "God damn it, who stole my vanishing cream!"

She ran out of the house, shouting desperately, "My vanishing cream is gone! My Ya Shuang, Ya Shuang, which costs 50 cents a can!"

Yang Cuilan pouted, "Wang Meili must be bragging."

But after Jiang Li gets married, she can also mention it and ask Jiang Li to buy her a can.

Aunt Du muttered, "I see that she doesn't look like she's bragging. Is it really gone?"

Wang Meili looked really anxious.

"Meili, don't shout if it's not there. We won't laugh at you." Yang Cuilan said gloatingly.

Wang Meili slapped her thigh, "I really did have it, I'm not bragging, my Jiang Yugang gave it to me, and also gave her father a pack of Daqianmen! But somehow, the things disappeared."

Aunt Du and the others looked at each other, "Could it really have been stolen?"

Wang Meili panicked: "But I locked it, locked it in the cupboard."

Aunt Du said: "It must be a thief, otherwise who would know where you put your key."

Wang Meili was stunned, and thought about it carefully. Everyone in the family went out, and only Jiang Hao was at home!

Her face changed drastically, and she pushed open Jiang Hao's door.

"Jiang Hao, did you take my vanishing cream!"

Jiang Hao got up from the bed with a guilty look on his face.

"Mom, Du Juan came to see me just now. I thought she had come here with great difficulty and couldn't go back empty-handed, so I sent Ya Shuang to her."

Wang Meili was so angry that she raised her hand and hit him twice, staring at him with hatred.

"You have no ambition! You just broke up with her, but when she came to your house, you acted like a boneless person!"
