Chapter 17 Going to Town Again



After Jiang Nian turned back into a human and put on his clothes, Jiang Yue forced him to rinse his mouth and taught him how to brush his teeth.

"If you don't take care of your teeth now, you'll regret it when you're old. As a werewolf, you have to be even more careful, otherwise you won't be able to bite the other werewolf's neck, which would be embarrassing..."

In ancient times, there were no professional dentists and no porcelain teeth.

As soon as the cool mint toothpaste entered his mouth, his tongue rolled up the toothpaste at lightning speed, and then the coolness spread from his neck to his throat.

He opened his mouth and pointed his finger inside, but couldn't say anything.

Jiang Yue doubled over with laughter, "Hahahahahaha...you deserve it! Who told you to eat toothpaste? You can't eat it!"

There was no other way, so she had to take out her own toothpaste and toothbrush and teach him step by step.

After brushing her teeth, she checked Jiang Nian's teeth to make sure there was no trace of blood left.

Then, she asked Jiang Nian to carry her to the town.

The next step is to buy a mule.

There is no problem with Jiang Nian's physical strength, but these cloth shoes are not wear-resistant. It seems that her eldest son's toes are about to protrude again.

When they arrived in town, Jiang Yue used the last eight copper coins to buy a large bamboo basket, and then stuffed all the prey into it at a corner.

This backwardness in ancient times also had its advantages, as there were no surveillance cameras.

She went to the clinic first and the guy still remembered her.

"Young lady, are you here to sell medicine again today?"

The young man had a friendly face and spoke to her with a smile.

Seeing him looking at Jiang Nian curiously, Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Yes, this is my husband. We dug up some good medicinal herbs from the mountain today, so we brought them here for the shopkeeper to see."

Wow, this young lady actually found such a scary husband. He didn't dare to delay, fearing that the clinic would be smashed, and quickly took the people to see the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was well-informed and not afraid of this man. He only dealt with Jiang Yue.

"Young lady, are you getting ginseng again today?"

Jiang Yue nodded and took out the ginseng, this time remembering to wrap it with rags for protection.

The shopkeeper raised an eyebrow. He had only casually asked, but he hadn't expected it to be there. He didn't know where the herbalist came from, but it looked like he had quite a rich supply of herbs.

He took the ginseng, which had taken on a humanoid shape. It wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. Ginseng isn't just about shape and appearance; it's also about age and size. These are all very important considerations. After all, not many people can afford ginseng.

The price he offered was two taels and eight cents, which was twice as expensive as the previous one.

She agreed, and the payment was made immediately.

The shopkeeper noticed the smell of blood in the large bamboo basket behind the man and stopped, "Is there prey in there?"

Since herbal farmers have to go up the mountain, it is not surprising that they also hunt.

"Yes."

Seeing that he was interested, Jiang Yue asked Jiang Nian to take off the backpack.

There were three pheasants and two rabbits in it, all fat.

The shopkeeper chose a rabbit and said he would take it home to feed the children.

Rabbits and pheasants were both sold for 35 wen. Domestic hens were 30 wen each, but since wild animals were rare, this price was normal.

Seeing that the two had just arrived, he gave them some advice, "If you want to sell quickly, you can go directly to the restaurant kitchen; if you want to sell at a high price and don't mind the trouble, go to the back of those big houses and sell."

Jiang Yue understood and thanked the shopkeeper for the reminder.

She had to get back before dark, so she went straight to the largest restaurant in town and sold them all at 33 cents each.

Today, she got nearly three taels of rice, enough for ordinary people to eat for a year. But for her, it was definitely not enough.

She had to make some preparations. She went to the grocery store and bought a large piece of tarpaulin, intending to repair the roof and replace the thatch.

As for rebuilding the house, it was not within her consideration.

When natural disasters strike, it's easier to find food in the countryside, but there are also more dangers. There's no telling what the dangers might be, whether it's refugees, bandits, or wild animals from the mountains.

In the city, at least there is government management, right?

So her next goal in saving money was to buy a house in the provincial capital, and then to exchange it for gold and silver. Unfortunately, she was still far from achieving these goals.

Before leaving, she bought a few bowls and plates, twenty eggs and two small bags of sugar, spending a total of 75 coins, leaving her with 2,700 coins left today.

She returned to the village, packed her clothes, and walked towards the village with her basket.

When they passed Uncle Jiang's house, Eugene Hua raised an eyebrow, stared at the basket in her hand, and leaned against the door. "Oh, do you finally understand the benefits of your mother's family? If you want to go back, you have to see if I agree."

The neighbor next door heard it and came out to see what was happening.

Jiang Yue initially ignored her, but seeing her smug look, she felt it was offensive and sneered, "Auntie, who are you? Don't you know I'm marrying in? There's no such thing as returning to your parents' home."

The neighbor burst out laughing.

Eugene's face flushed, but Jiang Yue didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "Some people are crazy about taking advantage of others, right? They don't even consider whether I agree or not."

After saying that, she took Jiang Nian to Yan Gu's house.

Eugene Hua squatted down and wanted to pick up a stone to throw at him, but the man suddenly turned around and looked at her with a fierce look.

She shuddered and touched her healed belly, where the bruises hadn't faded yet. It hurt like hell.

This little bitch actually found a living devil! Isn't he afraid of losing his own life?

Jiang Yue arrived at Yan Gu's house and gave her five eggs and a small bag of brown sugar.

Yan Gu was surprised.

Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you so much to Aunt Yan and Sister-in-law for your help. Now that we've recovered, we came here to express our gratitude. Also, our house is still in a mess, and Brother Nian and I feel embarrassed to invite everyone to dinner, so we bought some eggs as a wedding gift."

Without waiting for her to be polite, Jiang Yue took his men away.

The same excuse was given when she arrived at the village chief's house, and the village chief's wife even forced a few sweet potatoes on her.

She returned home and let out a long sigh. She hated dealing with favors. From now on, she would never owe favors to anyone so easily.

Jiang Nian rubbed her neck, which was a little itchy. She smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

He opened his mouth wide, pointed inside, and touched his stomach.

These are all the moves taught by Jiang Yue.

"Are you hungry?"

Jiang Nian nodded.

Jiang Yue brought him a chicken.

Then I finally started cooking in the "new house", cooked porridge and stir-fried vegetables.

She used to eat buns every day, but now she doesn't want to see them anymore.

After cooking the porridge, Jiang Yue also served a bowl to Jiang Nian and taught him to blow it cool and drink it with a spoon.

His fingers were quite nimble and he held the spoon steadily.

But this porridge was not to his liking. He only took two bites and looked at Jiang Yue without moving.

Jiang Yue pretended not to know. With his voracious appetite, where would he get so much meat? When a natural disaster struck, would he rather starve to death than eat vegetarian food?

He needs to get used to normal human food from now on.

Jiang Nian lowered his head, looking at the bowl of porridge, and finally ate it mouthful by mouthful. As for the bowl of vegetables, he didn't touch it at all.

Jiang Yue didn't force it and had to take it one step at a time.

When they went to bed at night, Jiang Nian wrapped her tighter, wondering if it was revenge for forcing him to drink porridge.
