There were already Liu San Niang, Feng Xiu'er, and Zhang Cuihua and her daughter causing trouble in the village, and she didn't want to make any more enemies. It wasn't that she couldn't handle them, but mainly she didn't want to waste her energy dealing with these women; it was too stressful and affected her mental state.
Uncle Jiang didn't linger for a moment and drove the oxcart back to his doorstep.
Ever since Old Jiang's family started making mosquito coils, Old Mrs. Jiang repeatedly instructed her family members to always lock the courtyard gate securely when they went out, to prevent villagers from secretly coming to learn the mosquito coil-making technique. Therefore, Old Jiang's courtyard gate was tightly closed at this time.
Jiang Xun nimbly jumped off the oxcart, took three steps in two, and pounded on the door. "Father, Father, it's me, come and open the door quickly."
Jiang He and Jiang Hu, who were diligently crushing charcoal and mugwort in the yard, immediately dropped their pestles and ran wildly towards the door.
"Ah Xun, sister, father/second uncle, why are you back so quickly?" the two asked疑惑地问道, then their eyes lit up with intense joy as they realized something. "Could it be...?"
"Shh~ Let's go inside and talk." Jiang Xun put a finger to his lips and said.
"Yes, yes, come in quickly."
The group entered the courtyard, and Jiang Hu quickly closed the gate tightly.
"Little sister, are the mosquito coils sold out?" Jiang He stared intently at Jiang Wanwan.
"That's right, all the mosquito coils are sold out." Jiang Wanwan said proudly, hands on her hips and chin slightly raised. Then, she sighed heavily, "Sigh~~ It's all my fault for being too good. The mosquito coils I made were too effective. Before my second uncle, fourth brother, and I even got to the stall, customers swarmed over, vying to buy our mosquito coils."
So many people wanted to buy them that they sold out in no time, not a single mosquito coil residue was left. Just as we were about to go eat, the customers who couldn't buy mosquito coils looked at me expectantly, begging me to go home and bring some more to sell, saying they were willing to wait as long as it took.
"Oh dear, I couldn't refuse their kind offer, so my second uncle, fourth brother, and I rushed back to get more mosquito coils. It's all because my mosquito coils are so effective; it's impossible for them not to sell!"
Jiang He and the others: "..."
Here it comes again.
That smug, irritating look is back again!
But only Jiang Jialin fell for her act. He looked at his precious daughter with doting eyes and a gentle smile on his face. "Yes, yes, she's still my daughter. She succeeds at everything she does. Dad is so proud of you."
Jiang Wanwan said shamelessly, "Hehe, it's all because Daddy is so amazing that he gave birth to such an amazing daughter."
Uncle Jiang glanced at Jiang Hu beside him with displeasure.
He still couldn't forget that his son wanted to separate him from his family.
Is it really because I'm not capable enough that I gave birth to such a thing whose head is full of pitfalls?
Jiang Xun rolled his eyes and hurriedly urged, "Stop chatting! The customers are waiting to buy mosquito coils!"
"Yes, yes, Wan'er, hurry up and check if the mosquito coils from last night are dried properly." Uncle Jiang also remembered something important.
Jiang Hu and Jiang He pointed to the dozen or so bamboo mats drying in the sun, saying, "Those over there were dried last night."
Jiang Wanwan walked over and carefully examined each bamboo mat, taking out several rolls of mosquito coils. "These are all dried and can be packed into barrels now."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiang and others helped pack the mosquito coils into bags according to their scent.
