Neither side moved.
Jiang Wei then realized that the mute girl didn't dare to do that at all. She turned around and glared at the mute girl in disappointment.
Then he looked at Fatty and said, "Just tell me what you want to do. Don't be so annoying by dilly-dallying!"
Fatty glanced at the mute girl, raised her chin and said, "Leave the little mute here, and get out of here!"
At first, she bullied the mute just because she was Jiang Erlang's sister. Later, she felt that it was fun to bully the mute. No matter how she was beaten, she would never scream, but would only cry. She loved to see people cry the most.
Jiang Wei glanced at Pang Ya with disdain, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm her sister!"
The mute girl sighed inwardly. The two of them had already broken up, and she wanted to go back early.
She put the firewood in her arms on the ground, then exchanged a small toy from the mall, raised her hand and threw it directly to the group of people opposite.
"Ahhhhhhhh there's a snake!"
"Snake! Run!"
“Wuwuwu, help…”
Pang Ya only felt a cold and slippery thing sliding across her arm. After seeing clearly what it was on the ground, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Jiang Wei watched in shock as a flying snake scared a group of people into running away. She was also shocked as Pang Ya's fat body fell to the ground with a bang, raising dust. She didn't know how to react.
After a long while, he slowly pointed at the motionless snake on the ground and screamed: "Ahhh snake!"
Before she was finished being shocked, she saw another scene that shocked her even more. Her youngest sister, who was usually very well-behaved, directly picked up the snake, walked into the bushes and threw it in.
She pointed her trembling finger at the mute girl again: "Are you, are you not afraid of snakes?"
The mute girl looked at the surrounding environment and prepared to come back later. She put the toy snake back into the space. She pointed at the grass with a stern face, patted herself, stretched her hand to her neck and scratched it, telling Jiang Wei that she had killed the snake. Finally, she patted Jiang Wei's hand, signaling her not to be afraid.
Jiang Wei suddenly retracted her hand:...I'm even more scared, okay?
When she returned home, Jiang Wei was still in a trance.
What happened today was a big blow to her, and she wanted to be quiet.
The mute girl didn't expect that Jiang Wei couldn't recover for such a long time. God knows, it was just a realistic toy snake.
She lowered her head, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
"Sister Wei, Mute Sister is back, come and have dinner!" Zheng Li'niang said hurriedly when she saw the two of them holding the soup.
The mute girl smiled at Zheng Li Niang, ran to put the firewood on the firewood pile and then returned to the main room.
Qian Xiuzhu, who had just walked out of the house, saw the little girl holding a bundle of firewood, and saw Wei Jie'er carrying a backpack. When she got closer, she saw that there was nothing in it, and she immediately became furious.
"You girl, are you going to drive your mother crazy? Even the mute girl can pick up firewood, but you didn't do anything with her, just playing around?"
Jiang Wei, who was stunned by the yelling of her mother who was pinching her waist with both hands, raised her head with a blank look in her eyes.
When she realized what was happening, she was so angry that she almost jumped up and down: "I picked it up... with the dumb girl!"
Ever since she saw the mute girl dare to throw the snake with her bare hands, she felt more respect for her and dared not say anything.
"Then why did you let the mute girl carry the firewood by herself while you carried an empty basket? You are her elder sister, how could you be so ignorant!"
Thinking back to last night when her little girl held an egg in her little hands and looked at her eagerly for it, she couldn't help but feel annoyed with her own child.
How come she didn’t notice such a thoughtful girl before?
Jiang Wei was stunned. Is this her real mother?
Just when Jiang Wei was doubting her life, the mute girl, after hearing the conversation between the mother and daughter, quickly stepped forward and wanted to explain to Jiang Wei.
But when Jiang Wei saw her coming, she snorted and ran into the main room to eat.
Seeing her daughter coming over, Qian Xiuzhu said softly, "Mute sister, after dinner, your mother and your father are going to town. Do you want to go?"
The mute girl nodded with sparkling eyes, and her eyes curved into crescents due to her smile.
It was a good opportunity for her to make some money.
Qian Xiuzhu smiled and touched her little girl's head. She didn't know whether the mute girl's family would come to find her in the future. In any case, she would treat the mute girl as her own daughter.
When the mute girl followed Qian Xiuzhu into the main hall, everyone had already gathered. In front of each person was a bowl of brown rice porridge. Although it was not thick, it contained a lot more rice than before. In the middle was wild vegetable egg drop soup and a bowl of pickles.
Unlike before, everyone was in a good mood, even Old Man Jiang, who had been feeling a little down, smiled.
"From now on, our Jiang family can live a peaceful life. I, an old man, still have some money. If any of you, Dalang, Erlang, or Sanlang, want to study, I will support you!"
All three of his grandsons were educated by him, and the second grandson never put down his books. He was partial to the second grandson in his heart, but he had tasted the bitterness of unfair treatment, and it was time for him to learn his lesson.
Jiang Dalang's face was calm, "Grandpa, as the eldest in the family, I have to shoulder the burden of the family. Besides, I am so old, it would be a waste for me to study, so I will let my younger brothers study.
"If you say so, big brother, I'm fourteen years old, so it's not appropriate." Jiang Erlang said.
Only Jiang Sanlang was left, shivering with his head hunched. "Master, don't you know me yet? I'm too stupid to learn."
He wasn't just being polite to his brothers, he really didn't want to study!
The mute girl had already seen that this person was a poor student.
Old Man Jiang sighed and was about to speak when he heard his daughter-in-law say, "Dad, why don't you take some time every day to teach the three children? Even if they can't pass the college entrance examination, it would be good if they can become accountants or teachers in the future."
Jiang Lao Da had already gulped down a large bowl of porridge. While serving the soup, he echoed his wife, "That's right, Dad. I heard people say that this winter is not a good year. What if next year is a disaster? I think Dad has taught us well. Dalang, Erlang... Sanlang are all very motivated. Once our hard times are over, it won't be too late to take the exam."
Old Man Jiang frowned, "Who told you that next year will be a disaster year?"
The mute girl also felt it was strange. It was impossible to predict next year’s celestial phenomena in modern times. Could it be that in ancient times people could know it just by observing the stars?
Boss Jiang didn't know how to answer. He couldn't just say that his wife had dreamed about it, right?
His father was a Confucian scholar and didn't like to believe in anything supernatural. It would be embarrassing if his father got angry and kicked him and his wife out of the house.
"The boss heard from people in the town that it was discovered by the high-ranking officials in the imperial city. Who knows if it's true? The harvest this year is not very good. I thought I would go to the town to buy more food just in case so that we can get through the winter." Qian Xiuzhu said fluently.
Boss Jiang instantly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and started slurping his soup.
"But the Imperial Observatory?" Old Man Jiang asked hurriedly.
"Is this it? Yes, this is the prison." Qian Xiuzhu said vaguely.
She was just an illiterate woman, how could she know about this prison? She had only heard the head of the household mention it a few times before, so it was incredible that she could still think of it.
Old Man Jiang stopped talking, looking thoughtful.
