Jiang Yue broke out in a cold sweat and quickly took a shower in the bathroom.
After splashing cold water on my face, I gradually calmed down.
Alas, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night.
Dreams are always the opposite of reality.
Yes, that's it.
In the courtyard, the young people were busy washing cold noodles and jelly.
Qingshan used the chicken soup that had been hanging in the well the night before to make a bowl of noodles for his mother and sister.
Jiang Yue didn't stand on ceremony and invited her daughter over to eat noodles. After eating, she had to go out to take care of some business.
The whole family is out working today, so only Qingyun, Xiaobai, and Dabai are at home to look after the house.
As always, the door is not opened to anyone except family members.
Yesterday, Qingyun chatted with her brothers and learned about the tragedy that had occurred in the village. Thinking about how her family's conditions were getting better and better, she understood the situation and nodded obediently.
After settling everything at home, Jiang Yue, with money in her pocket and her daughter's hand in hand, walked towards the village chief's house.
Sure enough, when the mother and daughter arrived, Wu Dama and his son were already at the village chief's house.
"Let's go to the village entrance to catch the bus."
The village chief took a sip of water and then checked his attire again.
He had to be neat and tidy when he went to the government office; his clothes were practically brand new.
"Sigh~"
Wu Dagui supported his father, avoiding Jiang's eyes. He saw that Jiang's back was hunched, and his hair was completely white...
There's always a reason why someone is pitiful!
Jiang Yue showed no sympathy and was too lazy to empathize.
Following behind the village chief, she waited until they were all seated before sitting down next to him and placing her daughter beside him.
"Giddy up!"
Wu Jiahu had obviously been instructed by the village chief beforehand, so this time he didn't pull anyone else along and directly led the group away.
Those who missed the oxcart thought they were too slow, unaware that there were other reasons...
It was unusually hot and humid today, and the sun didn't come out much.
The group arrived at the county government office without incident. Led by the village chief, they went into a room with the county government officials to wait.
Then a clerk who was about the same age as the village chief came out, exchanged pleasantries with the village chief, looked at Jiang Yue and the others, nodded, and left for a while.
Jiang Yue found it strange, but she held her daughter's hand and followed the village chief obediently, asking no questions and waiting patiently.
A moment later, the clerk returned, carrying a seal. He then somehow found a booklet related to Peach Blossom Village, flipped through it, checked off some notes, and stamped it with his seal...
After a flurry of activity, the newly issued land deeds were presented.
The village chief squinted, looked at her, and gestured for Jiang to come forward, reminding her and her daughter to each put their handprints on the document.
"Brother Zhu, thank you for your help today. Do you have some time? I'd like to invite you to a restaurant for a simple meal."
"No, no, Brother Wu, my magistrate has been having a terrible headache lately. After I finish this matter with you, I still need to accompany the magistrate to visit the pharmacies in other towns."
"That's really unfortunate. Let me invite Brother Zhu to a simple meal another day."
After hearing the explanation, the village chief wisely changed his tune and stopped asking questions.
When Jiang Yue heard the word "pharmacy," a thought flashed through her mind. She wondered if the county magistrate's headache was related to the pharmacy.
The land deed and the silver fell into the hands of the two parties involved in the transaction, and from then on, the land belonging to Wu Mazi's family would belong to Jiang Yue!
The three acres of land in the clan belong to Qingyao!
Jiang Yue tucked the land deed into her bosom and stored it in her system space.
After receiving the money, Wu Dama and his son opened their mouths but ultimately couldn't bring themselves to speak to Jiang, and left the county government office dejectedly...
Seeing this, the village chief shook his head. "This father and son...sigh!"
After Jiang Yue came out, she saw Qingshan rushing towards them by the roadside, so she said to the village chief:
"Uncle Yongfa, I need to take Yaoyao and Qingsong to my maternal brother's house before it rains. Would it be alright if you went back to the village with Brother Jiahu?"
"Alright, you go ahead and take care of your business. I'll take Jiahu to the restaurant to see my Guanghua. You can continue with your work."
The village chief stroked his beard; what was wrong with him?
They're not little kids, they won't get lost.
"Hey~ I'll bring you a bottle of good wine later~"
Jiang Yue smiled. "This old man, the village chief, is someone I can get along with!"
After parting ways, Jiang Yue, along with her two children, hurriedly bought meat and prepared gifts.
This is her first time visiting her parents' home and her brother's home, so she can't be too lazy or negligent!
Qingshan hired an oxcart for twenty copper coins. After loading everything onto the cart, the owner of the oxcart jokingly said:
"Young men, are you visiting relatives or what? You're practically emptying the shop!"
Upon hearing this, Qingshan's face softened with a simple and honest expression, and he humbly replied:
“My mother hasn’t been back to her parents’ home for a long time. Last time, my uncle and aunt brought a whole truckload of nice things over as a return gift. So, when my mother goes back this time, shouldn’t she bring something back too?”
"Young man, your relatives are so lucky! Unlike mine, my sister always comes home empty-handed and leaves with a full load. Sigh~"
The uncle rushing to catch the bus remarked with a look of envy.
"Every family has its own troubles, brother. Relax, your chance to make money is yet to come."
After Jiang Yue sat down, she adjusted to the most comfortable position, chatted with her daughter, and took her daughter and settled her down next to her.
"Little sister, I appreciate your kind words~"
The uncle wiped his sweat and smiled kindly upon hearing the comforting words.
Qingshan sat at the back of the oxcart. Now that everyone was there, he told the uncle they could set off for Jiangjiawan.
"Giddy up!"
The oxcart started moving, gradually increasing in speed. Although it was bumpy, it was faster than walking.
Jiang Yue hadn't slept well last night and had a lot of dreams. She yawned, told her daughter to wake her up when they got there, and then dozed off.
Qingyao gazed curiously at the surrounding scenery along the way, while keeping an eye on her mother.
My heart is bubbling with happiness. My mother is so beautiful, and she's so good to me!
Qingshan hadn't visited his maternal grandparents' house for many years. Childhood memories flooded back with the scene; some things looked familiar, others felt strange...
Thinking about his family's good days, he couldn't help but think of his father, whose memory was fading.
If Dad were alive, wouldn't Mom be more comfortable?
The answer remains unknown...
At the entrance of the village, there is a large rock with three large characters carved out on it—
Jiangjiawan.
"arrive--"
The uncle stopped the oxcart and kindly inquired:
"Give me directions, and I'll bring it to your door. Otherwise, it'll be hard for you to carry all this stuff."
"Your Majesty, we've arrived!"
Qingyao gently shook her mother's arm, waking her up.
"Sigh~"
Jiang Yue woke up groggily and yawned.
Looking around, it felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
"Mom, Uncle asked where our eldest uncle's house is, so he took us to his door."
Qingshan repeated what the uncle had said, hoping his mother would remember.
However, Jiang Yue didn't remember a thing...
I'm completely baffled!
