She saw the man hugging the woman with a lustful look in his eyes. Rou'er also saw this scene through the crack in the door, and turned away in disgust.
Jiang Tuantuan and Hua He were worried that Rouer would be sad, but Rouer returned to the room calmly, asked the waiter to bring her a big chicken leg and a few plates of snacks, and started eating.
"My father is right. He just wants my family's money," Rou'er swallowed the meat in her mouth and sighed.
Jiang Tuantuan put his arm around Rou'er's shoulders and said, "It's hard to find a two-legged toad, but it's even harder to find a two-legged man."
Rou'er was immediately amused and said, "Thank you, Tuantuan."
After watching the dance and drinking the wine, everyone got up and prepared to go home.
After sending Rou'er and Su Qingming back, Hua He took Jiang Tuantuan and Jiang Li to the inn and booked two rooms.
Jiang Li stayed in one room, Hua He and Jiang Tuantuan stayed in another. After washing and changing clothes, they lay down on the bed.
Hua He murmured, "Tuan Tuan, sometimes I envy you so much!"
"What do I have to envy?"
"It seems like you are very free, you can go wherever you want, but I have to abide by family rules because my father is a county magistrate. For the sake of his official career, he wants me to marry someone I don't like and don't know. But I don't even have the right to resist."
Jiang Tuantuan gave a bitter laugh, "You probably don't know yet, but I've been pregnant for two months, and I don't even know what my husband looks like."
Hua He was shocked. "Then you weren't raped, were you?"
"No, I wasn't raped. A year after we got married, my husband joined the army to replace my father. I heard there were heavy casualties in that battle, almost everyone died. I haven't received a reply to the letters I sent."
Every family has its own problems.
The next morning, Hua He got up before dawn. Jiang Tuantuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked, "Why are you up so early?"
"My servants will start cleaning the backyard at this hour. The back door will be unguarded for a short while, so I can sneak back."
Jiang Tuantuan quickly got up, dressed, woke up Jiang Li, and sent Hua He back.
I went to the street to have a quick breakfast and then rushed home.
My parents must be worried if I don’t go home all night.
Before I got home, I saw my mother standing by the roadside waiting for me.
Jiang Tuantuan shouted loudly: "Mom, I'm back."
Feng Xiaoli was a little angry, "Why didn't you come back at night? Do you know how worried your father and I were about you two? We thought something had happened!"
Jiang Tuantuan stuck out his tongue and took his mother's arm. "I was wrong, Mom. Something happened last night and I didn't get back in time. I won't do that again."
After dinner, Jiang Tuantuan sat on the hillside in a daze. He now had fifty taels of silver on him. He gave twenty percent to his mother, and had forty taels left. Where should he go to buy a batch of chickens? The key was to build a fence.
Jiang Tuantuan was thinking about this as he slowly strolled around the village and happened to come to the farmland.
"Isn't this Tuantuan? A few days ago, I heard from the village chief that you took your father to the city for medical treatment. How is he now?" Jiang Tuantuan looked up and saw Zhang Dahu sitting lazily in the field basking in the sun.
"My father is doing well now. He just needs to rest for a while and then he'll be fine. Brother Dahu, have you finished all the farm work?"
Brother Dahu: "Yeah, the busy farming season is over, and I just couldn't sit still and came to check on the fields."
"In a few days I plan to build a fence and raise some chickens and pigs. When the time comes, I'll have to trouble Brother Dahu to bring a few people to help. I'll pay them for their work."
When Dahu heard there was work to do, he immediately became excited. "Okay, tell me whenever you need me. The wages don't matter. We are all from the same village."
Jiang Tuantuan agreed with a smile.
Walking further, I saw a group of older children taking younger children fishing in the river.
The little kids were watching on the shore, holding buckets, and the older kids were rolling up their trouser legs. Several people were holding the net together, and when a fish came in, they would immediately pull the net in. Jiang Tuantuan also wanted to go down and play, but unfortunately she was pregnant.
The village chief's son Dazhu caught a glimpse of Jiang Tuantuan, fished out four fish from the big bucket, put two big ones and two small ones in a small bucket, and handed it to Jiang Tuantuan.
"We just caught these this morning, they're still alive and kicking, they're super delicious, take them home and share them with your parents."
Jiang Tuantuan was a little embarrassed, "I didn't contribute anything, how can I take it?"
Dazhu said nonchalantly, "It's just a few fish. It's okay. Take them quickly."
I also got a bucket of fish during my trip.
Jiang Tuantuan collected one, planned to sell one in the trading mall after selling it for points, and took the remaining two home to eat.
Just as I was about to log out, I saw a lot of emails coming in. I opened the one from Gourmet Black first. "The roasted birds you sell taste really good. You don't even need to season them. They're delicious even when they're roasted. When will you continue selling them?"
I looked at other emails again, and they were all messages from hosts in various spaces saying that they also wanted to try the chicken with original genes.
Jiang Tuantuan was very excited. When she got home, she patted the big yellow ox on the back and said, "Jiang An, your sister will be able to turn you back into a human soon."
Jiang An had heard this so many times that he no longer had any reaction.
After lunch, Jiang Tuantuan took Jiang Li to put the dried persimmon cakes into bamboo baskets. They would take them to the county town tomorrow. Jiang Tuantuan would be in charge and Jiang Li would do the work.
As the days passed, Jiang Tuantuan's belly began to take shape and was no longer as flat as before.
Early the next morning, Jiang Tuantuan started making a flower basket. She still had one peony flower she had bought with her points that could be used, so she picked some wild flowers and green leaves to decorate the basket and then set off.
When I arrived in the county town, I went to Tongji Hall first, and happened to meet Su Qingming treating a patient.
Jiang Tuantuan brought a small stool and sat aside, waiting obediently.
Su Qingming noticed the commotion and immediately came over after checking on the patient. "Miss Jiang, are the persimmon cakes ready?"
Jiang Tuantuan jokingly said, "The one who understands me is Master Su."
Jiang Li brought in a basket of persimmons, which immediately attracted the attention of the patients.
"This is persimmon cake, right? My wife has been asking for it. I happened to come across it today, so I have to buy some more."
Now there is no need to shout.
After handing the persimmon cake to Tongji Hall, I went to Zhou Mansion to find Zhou Rouer.
Jiang Tuantuan arrived at the main gate. A servant was standing guard at the door. "Excuse me, young lady, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Zhou Rouer."
Just as the servant was about to go in to report, he saw Zhou Rouer running out jumping and skipping.
"I knew you were coming today, so I was waiting at the door early. Come and show me the flower basket."
Jiang Tuantuan handed the flower basket to Rou'er and said, "I'll sell it to you for one or two taels of silver."
Rou'er happily gave the money to Jiang Tuantuan and held her hand, "Sister Tuantuan, my parents want to see you. Please come in with me."
Jiang Tuantuan followed Rou'er in with some curiosity.
