Since Magistrate Liu did not send anyone to take away Young Master Liu for the time being, Jiang Yue's family treated him as an honored guest, providing him with good food and drink.
However, this young master Liu was very outgoing, and within two days he became familiar with everyone in the village.
Even the most difficult dog in the house, Baymax, for some reason, has tacitly accepted this person's existence and stopped pecking at him randomly!
Jiang Yue was truly impressed by his social skills!
The back mountain is full of life at this time, and the stream water has become warm after being dried by the spring sun.
A group of women set off together, digging for wild vegetables and gathering firewood.
Jiang Yue also joined the "main group" to dig for wild vegetables and reminisce about the past.
Last year, when she first transmigrated, she was so poor!
"Mom, I want to go to the stream with Third Brother and Brother Youyin to catch snails!"
Qingyao's front teeth have grown in; they are snow-white and straight. When she smiles, she looks a bit like a little bunny.
"Well, you're not allowed to go into the water, you can play on the shore."
Jiang Yueguan would never refuse her daughter's request, especially since there were so many children in the village; she wouldn't want to deprive her daughter of her childhood fun.
After agreeing, he instructed the third brother and Youyin, and also asked Young Master Liu to keep an eye on the group of children.
"Don't worry, with me here, you're absolutely safe!"
Liu Yunfei assured him, and then, in a fit of madness, he took the lead and ran towards the stream.
He had the air of a leader of children, hardly like a young master...
Jiang Yue sighed. The sons of officials are either spoiled brats or playful. It seems that this young master Liu is the latter.
The honeysuckle in the mountains was unclaimed, and the women were happily picking it.
Now that Jiang Yue has a way to make money, she naturally won't compete with others. She found a place where wild vegetables grow abundantly and began to dig them up carefully.
Ding~
Suddenly, the system's voice rang in her mind, and Jiang Yue was startled when she abruptly shoveled down.
A virtual control panel appeared before me, with a large yellow light nearby!
Something valuable and good?
Jiang Yue had figured out the system's nature, and without bothering to calm her frightened heart, she picked up the shopping basket and deliberately muttered:
"Where's the broom-shaped hair? My Yaoyao loves eating it."
Just then, a woman, somewhat embarrassed, picked up the conversation and pointed to a spot, saying:
"A broom-shaped head? Go check up ahead, I think I saw it when I was relieving myself~"
"Oh, thank you."
Jiang Yue laughed. Wasn't the direction it was pointing in exactly where the yellow light was?
The others didn't take what Jiang said to the woman with the hoe seriously and continued picking their own honeysuckle.
Jiang Yue then swaggered off in the direction the woman had pointed...
After walking about fifty or sixty meters and leaving most of the others behind, Jiang Yue dawdled and deliberately dug up two handfuls of vegetables from the ground and put them into her basket.
A small number of women, for reasons unknown, followed along. After discovering that what Jiang was digging up were indeed ordinary wild vegetables, they gradually lost patience and rushed off to pick honeysuckle.
After walking another ten meters or so, Jiang Yue finally approached the marker marked by the yellow light.
She put down her basket, casually picked a few inconspicuous wild vegetables, and then approached the marked spot to start digging...
Depend on!
It's actually a fully formed ginseng doll!
The kind that has developed intelligence!
There wasn't even time to grab it; I only managed to snatch the red fruit on its head and a few tendrils!
Everything happened too fast; in just a few seconds, the ginseng baby had vanished without a trace!
Jiang Yue looked at the red fruit and ginseng root she had torn from her palm and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She should have brought the red string with her!
It's too late for regrets!
The golden light on the system panel receded further and further into the mountains, while the moving red dots formed an encirclement...
Alright, forget about it!
Jiang Yue put the hard-won red fruit and ginseng into the system space storage compartment, her face as ugly as if she had lost millions.
Consequently, she lost all interest in the system's anomalies.
"Qingyun's mother, what's wrong?"
Suddenly someone approached, and Jiang Yue could only force a wry smile and say:
"There were earthworms! They scared me to death!"
The visitor chuckled, and peeked into Jiang's basket, finding nothing unusual, before teasingly remarking:
"Hey, it's just an earthworm, not a worm, why are you so scared?"
"Alright, alright, I've dug up enough. It's enough for my Yao Yao to eat."
Jiang Yue pretended not to notice the other person's scrutiny, propped herself up, stood up, bent down to pick up her vegetable basket, and left.
The woman who had been speaking, however, didn't leave. Instead, she remained squatting in the same spot, continuing to shovel and scrape with her old shovel...
Jiang Yue calmly memorized the woman's appearance, thinking to herself that this woman and her entire family would never get a job at the pharmaceutical factory!
At the stream, many of the village's younger children gathered around, while the older ones followed Young Master Liu into the water to catch fish, shrimp, and snails.
There were even small crabs in the crevices of some of the small stones!
Some caves contain eels as thick as a thumb!
Liu Yunfei was having so much fun that he didn't even notice he was almost completely soaked.
He made up his mind: if the old man didn't come to pick him up, he wouldn't go home!
When Jiang Yue and her group came down the mountain, they saw the lively scene by the stream and didn't know whether to laugh or not.
The boys who went into the water all turned into mud monkeys, especially Young Master Liu. He had lost all his gentlemanly demeanor and looked like a giant mud monkey!
"Mom, look! There are so many snails, and fish and shrimp too! Let's have fried fish and shrimp with pork cracklings for lunch!"
Qingyao was very happy. Although she didn't go into the water, she played in the water for a while.
Especially her wooden bucket, which was full of snails, fish, and shrimp!
"Alright, alright, your sister-in-law is waiting for us to come home. Why don't you call your third brother and the others over?"
Jiang Yue smiled and nodded, only feeling relieved after checking that her daughter hadn't gone into the water.
However, it's almost noon. After noon, the stream won't be so hot anymore. If you try to cool off any longer, you'll really catch a cold!
"Third Brother~"
"Brother Yin~"
"Brother Liu~"
"Hurry up and get ashore, let's go home!"
With Qingyao's repeated calls, the trio in the stream finally calmed down and floated back to shore, each carrying their spoils...
Being seen by so many people for the first time, Liu Yunfei's ears inevitably turned red, but everyone else assumed it was from the sun and didn't notice anything unusual about him.
After Jiang and her group had gone some distance, the women by the stream said enviously:
"The Chiang family is so lucky!"
"That's right! The eldest and second sons are both young and promising; they've grown their small business into a large enterprise. They're very successful!"
"And Qingyun, along with Changjun, aren't they both the hope of our Wu Family Village this generation?"
"Qingyao is so well-behaved. When she grows up, she will definitely marry into a wealthy family!"
"Although she no longer has a head of the household, Jiang's husband's family values her and has made it clear that they will not stop her from remarrying. It's just that Jiang doesn't want to remarry!"
"Tsk tsk, what a lucky life!"
"That's right~"
"Don't forget, she has a merit tablet in our village's ancestral hall. She's our Goddess of Wealth, and she even promised to build a school for our village's children. We all remember her kindness, so don't have any bad intentions!"
"That's natural~"
Among the women, the one who had been following Jiang Yue flickered her eyes but remained silent...
