She looked at the bowl of brown paste on the table with some disdain.
In modern times, bran and chaff are fed to pigs.
And now, she's eating the same food as pigs.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wanwan was overcome with sorrow and felt extremely pitiful.
She was certain that she must be the most tragic time traveler from ancient times.
Heaven help her, not only does she have to live in constant fear of Su Wan'er's revenge, but she also eats pig swill all day long!
Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, I would still have to eat white rice!
She made up her mind that even if she couldn't escape being killed by Su Wan'er in the future, she would eat well, drink well, and sleep well every day she lived!
Otherwise, her golden finger would be useless.
Grandma Jiang didn't miss the disdain in Jiang Wanwan's eyes. The old lady glared at her and said, "What, you brat, you're complaining even though you have food? You're not used to hardship. This is only because we have farm work to do now. During the off-season, we only eat two meals a day, and they're even thinner than the porridge we had this morning."
Jiang Wanwan pouted, "Grandma, what happened to the eggs my brothers and I collected yesterday? Why didn't you cook them?"
Grandma Jiang was a thrifty old woman who would stretch every penny to its limit, so she couldn't bear to boil eggs for herself. She glared at Jiang Wanwan and said, "Didn't we already eat eggs last night? The rest of the eggs will be taken to town by your second uncle to sell for money. Eggs are precious; we poor farmers don't deserve to eat them."
Besides, we're barely making ends meet, where would we find the spare money to buy eggs? Grandma Jiang talked incessantly, spittle flying everywhere.
Jiang Wanwan: "......"
It seems that whatever Grandma Jiang leaves with her, she probably only wants to exchange it for money.
Jiang Wanwan sat back down on the stool, only letting Grandma Jiang scoop a little bit of wild vegetable paste for her. She took a symbolic bite and then stopped eating.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I've finished eating. I'll go back to my room to get ready, and then I'll go to town with Dad to see the doctor." Jiang Wanwan put down her chopsticks, said goodbye to Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang, and limped out of the main room.
Once out of sight of everyone, Jiang Wanwan stopped pretending to be lame and quickly returned to her room.
After closing the door, Jiang Wanwan went straight to the bed. She picked up the pillow, rummaged around inside for a while, and pulled out ten taels of silver.
The ten taels of silver were given by the Su family. Because Jiang Jialin knew of its existence, Jiang Wanwan was worried that Jiang Jialin might ask her to hand over the silver, so she didn't dig a hole to hide the ten taels of silver, but instead hid it directly in her pillow.
After yesterday's events, Jiang Wanwan realized she had been overthinking things, and also concluded that her adoptive father was still reliable. After all, even when the Jiang family might have to pay twenty taels of silver in compensation yesterday, Jiang Jialin hadn't even considered taking the ten taels of silver she had.
Moreover, when Uncle Jiang instigated Old Lady Jiang to test whether she had any money on her yesterday, her cheap father not only did not expose the fact that she had money, but also protected her.
In this way, it seems that the cheap father is still a reliable person.
After carefully placing the ten taels of silver close to her body, Jiang Wanwan felt a thumping sound in her stomach. She touched her empty belly and estimated that there was still a while before she could go to town, so she simply opened the floating panel in front of her and spent ten yuan to buy a steaming hot pork wonton from the mall.
The aroma of the pork wontons made Jiang Wanwan's mouth water. She hurriedly picked up a small plastic spoon and eagerly scooped one into her mouth.
"Mmm, so delicious!" The wontons were a little hot, and Jiang Wanwan kept breathing on them to warm them up. Even though her mouth was burned, she couldn't bear to spit out the wontons.
After finishing a bowl of wontons, Jiang Wanwan finally came back to life.
