"What are you arguing about?! If you want to eat it, let your parents and siblings go dig it up. If they can't find it, just come and ask for it. Why don't you just snatch it away!" Jiang Wei was so angry that her cheeks turned red.
She squatted there for a long time, and finally she was so curious about the smell that she couldn't help but pick up a roasted sweet potato and break it open to take a look. Unexpectedly, after just two glances, she attracted all the little kids over.
Jiang Huaixu patted Jiang Wei's shoulder, took the roasted sweet potato from her hand and tasted it. The roasted sweet potato was very sweet, which made her squint her eyes in enjoyment.
The children forgot to shout the moment they saw her actions. The younger ones opened their eager hands directly, with transparent liquid flowing down from the corners of their mouths.
"Do you want to eat it?" Jiang Huaixu shook the roasted sweet potato in his hand and asked very gently.
The noise instantly died down, replaced by a chorus of “Yes!”
Jiang Huaixu smiled with satisfaction and waved to Shanwa, who was squatting not far away and chewing his fingers, "Shanwa, come here!"
Shanwa was stunned, sniffed his nose, and shrank his neck shyly. Seeing that Jiang Huaixu was still smiling at him, he stood up and walked towards Jiang Huaixu step by step.
Jiang Huaixu waited patiently for Shanwa to come to her, touched his head, and gave him the other half of the sweet potato in Jiang Wei's hand.
Jiang Wei was not annoyed. She let her second brother take the roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes. The youngest sister would not be so stupid as to feed food to other people.
Shanwa was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. He held the roasted sweet potato as if it were a treasure. He sucked back the snot that was about to fall into his mouth, stammered a thank you, and turned around to find his mother.
His mother is Zheng Guihua. Since the death of Jiang Quezi, Zheng Guihua's energy and spirit seemed to have been drained away. She was dazed and silent every day.
Seeing him skipping away, the smile on Jiang Huaixu's face disappeared. "If you want to eat, it's five cents each. Go ask the adults for copper coins. If you don't give copper coins, you can't eat."
After that, she said to Jiang Wei, "Sister, grab your things and let's go!"
Although the children were young, they knew what copper coins were, and they also knew that adults would not give them copper coins. Many children wiped their tears and returned to their resting places, crying and asking for sweet potatoes.
Some women held their anger and yelled at their children, some made indirect accusations, and some even went straight to Jiang Huaixu to ask for an explanation.
Qian Xiuzhu naturally noticed the movement here. She just took a look and lowered her head again.
The eldest daughter is silly, but the younger daughter cannot afford to suffer any loss, so it is a good thing to let the eldest daughter learn more.
The village chief's wife, Zhao Chunfang, found her husband and asked him what to do about this matter.
The village chief also took a look and continued with his work, "Have you forgotten that girl held a knife to someone's neck? Anyone who falls into her hands will only become the chicken that is killed to scare the monkeys..."
At this point, he suddenly raised his voice, glared and asked, "Did our baby join in the fun?"
Zhao Chunfang's expression froze when he asked her, and she couldn't help but spit out, "What are you busying yourself with all day? Our granddaughter has just learned to walk, and our grandson is still breastfeeding. What can they possibly do?!"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Xu Jie'er, why do you let Shanwa eat but not my Dalinzi?"
Jiang Huaixu stopped and sneered, "This sister-in-law looks so sturdy, I guess her family has plenty of food. It just so happens that my family does. How about you exchange some food for sweet potatoes?"
The fat wife was immediately displeased. "Why can Shanwa eat for free while my family has to exchange grain? How can sweet potatoes compare to grain?"
"I give my things to whoever I want, even if it means feeding them to the wolves in the mountains."
Jiang Huaixu looked at the young girls and wives who were watching the excitement. "The child is ignorant, and you adults are also ignorant? Shanwa is young, but he is much more sensible than your family. Besides, other people's food doesn't fall from the sky. Since you are asking for it, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
The fat wife was so angry that her face turned the color of liver. Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled away.
Turning her head, she saw her husband with sweat on his forehead and Jiang Sanlang standing behind him.
"Is there no food at home or what? How dare you fight with a few kids for food?!" the man roared in a low voice.
The fat wife curled her lips and said, "It's not me who wants to eat it, it's my son who wants..."
"Go, go, go, aren't you ashamed? I can't even look after the kids. What else can you do besides eating?!"
The man pulled the child in one hand and his fat wife in the other, pushing and shoving them away.
The first person to stand out was killed, and those in the crowd who wanted to take the opportunity to fan the flames instantly gave up the idea.
This time they finally saw clearly that whenever they encountered Jiang Jiaxu's sister, they would either scold her or beat her if they got angry. It would be better for them to be on good terms with the Jiang family in the future.
"These people are really going too far!" Jiang Wei pouted, feeling unhappy. "They only know how to ask for things. They deserve to be bandits!"
"Don't be angry, eldest cousin. They can't argue with second cousin... and you anyway." Jiang Fu stuttered a little at the end.
Jiang Wei glanced at her and snorted arrogantly.
"Third brother, did you find the fat wife's husband?" Jiang Huaixu asked.
Jiang Sanlang paused as he wiped his sweat and couldn't help laughing, "Fat wife, hahahaha, doesn't this fat aunt love to eat sweet potatoes? She definitely won't let go of such delicious sweet potatoes from our house. As soon as I saw her coming, I went to find her husband."
Jiang Huaixu gave him a thumbs up.
"Where are the sweet potatoes and potatoes?" She looked around but didn't see any.
"Here." Jiang Erlang handed the cloth bag in his hand to Jiang Huaixu.
Jiang Huaixu took it, opened it and took a look. The roasted sweet potato was really fragrant.
