Jiang Wanwan put down the bowl of eggs in her hand and sat back down on the bench.
As soon as she sat back down, she felt a burning gaze fixed on her.
Jiang Wanwan turned her head and found that the boy sitting next to her was staring straight at her, his pouting lips almost big enough to hold an oil lamp.
This boy is her older brother, Jiang Xun.
Seeing Jiang Wanwan looking at him, he glared at her fiercely.
Hmph, Wan'er is still the best.
If Wan'er were here, he would definitely get a big piece of egg.
Wan'er would always find a way to get him some food from his mother's hands.
He didn't like this new sister at all; he wouldn't even give her a piece of egg.
Sister Wan'er would never be like her.
He hates her!
Jiang Wanwan found Jiang Xun's expression somewhat amusing.
I got angry with her over a piece of egg.
How childish!
At the same time, she also recalled Jiang Xun's tragic ending in the novel.
Jiang Xun is a doting brother to his sister and has always listened to Su Wan'er since childhood. Whatever Su Wan'er says goes.
He felt that besides his parents, Su Wan'er was the kindest to him. She always tried her best to get him some food from Old Madam Jiang. In fact, it was always Su Wan'er who instigated him to be the first to steal food from Old Madam Jiang's room.
Su Wan'er was inherently greedy, lazy, and cunning. Jiang Xun, who often followed her around, was naturally spoiled and became a lazy and gluttonous person. Not only that, he was also full of lies and never told the truth.
In the novel, Jiang Xun dislikes the original owner of the body.
After the original owner returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Xun would bully and scare her from time to time. Catching snakes and insects to frighten her was also a common occurrence.
He always felt that Su Wan'er was his real sister, and Su Wan'er always tried to find ways to make food for him.
Back in the general's mansion, Su Wan'er frequently corresponded with Jiang Xun, instigating him to do all sorts of bad things.
In the end, Jiang Xun offended someone and had his tendons in his hands and feet severed, making him a complete cripple who would spend the rest of his life bedridden.
Because no one took care of him, his body was covered in maggots, and he eventually died in bed without anyone knowing.
Tsk, he didn't even realize he'd been tricked by Su Wan'er, and he even thought Su Wan'er was the best to him.
A guy like that is either clueless or lacking common sense.
Jiang Wanwan looked at Jiang Xun with some sympathy. He was such a handsome young man, but he didn't have a good brain.
Tsk.
Jiang Xun felt somewhat bewildered when he received Jiang Wanwan's sympathetic gaze. He rolled his eyes, buried his head in the bowl, and gulped down the little bit of porridge left.
Soon, the Jiang family finished their bowls of porridge. The bowl of yellowed vegetables on the table was also completely devoured. The Jiang family's meals were poor; there wasn't much to eat. If it weren't for Jiang Wanwan's earlier egg-sharing stunt, they could have finished dinner in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
"I just got back to the Jiang family tonight, and there are a lot of things that need to be arranged by the third son's wife. Tonight, the eldest son's wife, you wash the dishes first, and the third son's wife will wash them tomorrow. Eldest son and Jiang'er, you two go fetch water and boil it. Your father and I want to wash our feet."
"Yes, Mother."
After giving her instructions, Grandma Jiang left the main room with Grandpa Jiang.
The rest of the Jiang family members also came out of the main room. Those who were working went about their tasks, while those who weren't working brought out small stools and sat under the big pomelo tree in the courtyard to enjoy the cool shade.
Jiang Xun and his cousins gathered together to chat about the interesting things that happened during the day.
Jiang Wanwan, on the other hand, was taken to a room on the west side by her mother, Lu Mingzhu.
