The Jiang family had three large blue brick and tiled houses, which were rare in Shili Village. After all, Old Man Jiang was also a scholar, and he had made a lot of money by working outside when he was young. After the war, he returned to Shili Village and never left again.
The mute girl went straight back to the room where she lived with Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was not in the room. Instead, Qian Xiuzhu was sitting by the bed with an oil lamp on, in a daze. When she saw her coming, she was stunned for a moment before she smiled.
"Your hair is still wet. Come, let me dry it for you."
The mute girl pursed her lips and smiled, but did not refuse. She stood with her back to Qian Xiuzhu.
Picking up the prepared cloth, Qian Xiuzhu slowly twisted her little girl's hair. As she twisted it, she leaned closer and smelled it in confusion.
What does this smell like? Why does it smell so good?
She wanted to ask, but the little girl might not be able to explain it clearly, so she just assumed that the mute girl must have picked flowers and grass from somewhere to dye the smell.
Usually not many people play with the mute girl. She likes to pick flowers and plants the most, and is often scolded by Liu for this.
Putting this matter aside, Qian Xiuzhu began to worry. According to the dream, there would be a drought this winter, and there would be a severe drought for three years thereafter.
In the second year after the drought, unrest broke out outside, and some people inside wanted to rebel. The conscription was carried out in Shili Village, and all the young and middle-aged men in the village were drafted into the army.
Originally, twenty taels of silver per person could exempt him from conscription, but unfortunately, due to a series of natural disasters, the family could not raise so much money at all. However, Jiang Shujian was saved by Liu Shi using the silver she had secretly hidden from the sale of gold and jade. Before she died, she was unable to see her husband and Dalang and Erlang for the last time.
With the three strong laborers gone in the family, she could only live a hard life with Sanlang and Wei Jie'er.
Afterwards, she became ill due to worry and never recovered.
To make matters worse, the mute girl's family came to find her. She then realized that the gold inlaid with jade belonged to the mute girl, but the mute girl had been sold. How could she compensate her family with a daughter?
Liu started to have evil thoughts again - to send her sister Wei to that family to be a daughter.
When she woke up from her coma, Liu had accepted the thank-you gift from that family, and Wei Jie'er had been taken away. She tried her best to die with Liu, but it was useless. Sanlang had Liu's blood on his hands in order to help her.
Qian Xiuzhu didn't want to think about these things. Every time she thought about them, her heart ached and her hatred for Liu increased. She wished she could kill her with her own hands.
But right now, I have to explain it to my little girl first.
"Mute sister, I really didn't know that your grandma beat you. If I had known earlier, I would never have let Liu do anything to you."
Qian Xiuzhu didn't know that she believed this matter. Liu was very cautious and only abused the original owner when they were alone. As far as the original owner's memory was concerned, she was not sure whether Qian Xiuzhu would confront Liu for the original owner.
In ancient times, filial piety was more important than anything else. In her impression, Jiang Lao Da and his wife were such people. How could they go against Liu for the original owner?
"We as parents are wrong in this matter. From now on, we will be a united family and will definitely live a good life!" Qian Xiuzhu touched the mute girl's hair that was like dry grass, took out an egg from her arms and stuffed it into the mute girl's hand.
The mute girl did not refuse. She held the eggs in both hands, turned around and looked at Qian Xiuzhu, pretending to smile in surprise.
This smile almost dazzled Qian Xiuzhu.
In her memory, the mute girl was very cute when she was a child, but when she grew up, she liked to keep her head down. When she asked her about it, the mute girl just kept shaking her head.
Although he looks a little pale and thin now, the facial features on his palm-sized face seem to be painted on, especially his eyes, which are big and watery.
She understood why in her dream Liu bargained the price of the mute girl from five taels to seven taels, and the young man in the lead still agreed.
Her heart skipped a beat. Qian Xiuzhu reached out and pulled down the thick bangs of the mute girl. Worried about her, she warned her, "Mute girl, keep your head down when you meet strangers, okay? There are a lot of bad guys out there!"
The mute girl just looked at the egg in her hand and nodded repeatedly. Halfway through nodding, she looked up at Qian Xiuzhu with a conflicted look, handed the egg in her hand to Qian Xiuzhu again, and opened her mouth to signal her to eat.
Qian Xiuzhu felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears again.
This silly girl is more sensible than her own daughter!
In the end, Qian Xiuzhu didn't eat the egg. She just told her mute sister to eat it quickly so that Wei Jie'er wouldn't see it, and then she left.
The mute girl watched Qian leave with sparkling eyes, and the smile on her lips gradually faded.
In her memory, the Jiang family had never cared about her as much as they did now.
Qian Xiuzhu gave her the feeling that her character had collapsed. Could it be...?
Shaking her head, the mute girl decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
She lowered her head to nibble on the egg, and when her eyes swept across her clothes, she suddenly knew the reason.
It should be that the injuries on the original owner were exposed to the Jiang family. The good things now are all to make up for it.
She sighed in her heart and couldn't eat the eggs anymore. She put the eggs on the bed and took out the short needle and alcohol swab prepared by Fu Tuan for collecting blood from the space. After disinfecting her middle finger, she pricked it with the short needle. The needle tip immediately absorbed the blood droplets that emerged into Peng Da's needle body.
After putting the needle cap on, the mute girl didn't immediately put the blood sample into the space. Instead, she asked Fu Tuan: "You won't do anything bad with the blood sample, right?"
There is a saying among the ancients that "the body and hair are inherited from the parents", which shows that their tolerance for blood drawing must be low, so she is not optimistic about collecting blood samples.
Fu Tuan, who was originally excited about getting the first sample, screamed in anger and appeared directly in front of the mute girl from the system space, while putting on his new skin and new wings.
The mute girl's eyes lit up, [Erha!]
