Chapter 24 What if he was a three-year-old child?
"You two are the only ones here?"
The visitors were their neighbors, Liu Youcai's family, relatives of the village chief Liu Quanxing.
When Jiang's mother saw the person coming, her face immediately turned bad.
Although Liu Youcai's family was her neighbor, after her husband disappeared, they came to cause trouble in various ways.
It was also because his two sons had grown up that they calmed down and no longer made any noise.
He came here unexpectedly today, so it's probably no good thing.
Jiang's mother didn't say anything. She was too lazy to pay attention to this person.
Liu Youcai didn't expect her to be so disrespectful to him, and his face immediately fell.
"Xiao Qiang has grown up. I think he is even prettier than when he was a child!"
Find something to say.
But these words immediately angered Jiang's mother.
Everyone in Sihe Village knew that Jiang Xiaoqiang was almost insulted by an old man because of his good looks. Did Liu Youcai say this on purpose?
Seeing that Jiang's mother looked unhappy, Liu Youcai realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly got to the point.
"Well, did your family eat meat today? We all smelled it at home just now. The meat smelled really good!"
Having said that, Liu Youcai swallowed.
"We don't eat meat. How can our family afford to eat meat?"
Jiang's mother denied it directly.
She knew that Liu Youcai's family coming to her house was not for any good reason. It turned out that they smelled the aroma of meat and came here to take advantage of it!
"How could he not have eaten it? Did I smell it wrong? Did the rest of our family smell it wrong too?"
Liu Youcai obviously didn't believe it.
There has never been any smell of meat coming from the Jiang family’s kitchen, but the difference between cooking meat and not cooking meat is huge!
"We are neighbors after all. Look at these boys in my family. They are so skinny that they are just skin and bones. Please have pity on us and give us some meat."
Liu Youcai said this and went straight to the Jiang family's kitchen.
"What are you doing?!"
Mother Jiang took two steps at a time and rushed over to stop them.
But Liu Youcai was determined to eat meat, so he pushed Jiang Mu away and walked into the kitchen.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't find any meat in the kitchen.
"I told you there's nothing left, right? Why are you still coming in? Leave now, or I'll call for help! How dare you bully our Jiang family like this?"
Mother Jiang gritted her teeth.
Jiang Xiaoqiang didn't know when he took out a kitchen knife and pointed it at Liu Youcai.
This scene frightened Liu Youcai's family. Seeing that there was indeed no meat in the kitchen, they quickly left.
Mother Jiang heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that they had all left.
His eyes fell on a brick in the kitchen.
Money should not be shown off, and meat should not be known to others. She knew this principle well, so when she cooked in the evening, she had already hidden the remaining meat.
"Mom, why don't you tell An An not to buy meat from now on, otherwise..."
Jiang Xiaoqiang was worried that next time if the meat was not hidden properly, it would benefit those shameless people.
But Mother Jiang shook her head.
"An An also wants to improve our food. Let's be more careful next time and stew the meat when Liu Youcai is not around."
Mother Jiang sighed.
On the other side, Jiang Anan and Jiang Dazhuang arrived at the Huang family.
Huang Xitian lived in a room added by the Huang family. One could go directly into his room from the outside without having to enter the Huang family's yard.
After knocking on the door, Jiang Anan shouted inside.
When Huang Xitian heard the noise, he got up and opened the door with some confusion. Seeing that it was Jiang Anan and Jiang Dazhuang, the brother and sister, he quickly let them in.
The bedding had not yet been spread out, but several people sat on the kang.
"I heard that you two were arrested by the police. I thought something really happened!"
Huang Xitian was worried.
In the afternoon, Zhao Chunmei had an argument with Aunt Six, and he found out that Jiang Anan and others had not been arrested by the police at all. But Aunt Six spoke so convincingly that he had no idea what was going on.
"That's not the case. It was just a misunderstanding. Later, the police investigated and found out that there was nothing wrong at all."
Jiang Dazhuang curled his lips.
The villagers are really good at spreading rumors!
"I'm glad you're okay..."
Huang Xitian breathed a sigh of relief.
The Jiang family is in a difficult situation. Their child has finally grown up. If something happens to him, the rest of the family will probably not know how to survive.
"That woman Zhao Chunmei took advantage of her husband and my nephew's absence to bully you. Don't worry, I will give you justice when my nephew comes back."
Huang Xitian was so angry that he started coughing repeatedly.
"Uncle Huang, drink some water!"
Jiang Anan handed him the water.
"We also believe that justice will be done in this matter. Even if Zhao Chunmei wants to make trouble, she can only do so for a few days. We don't take it to heart."
Didn't take it seriously? Huang Xitian was puzzled. Could it be that he didn't come here for this matter? Then what was the reason?
Jiang Anan also saw his confusion and quickly said, "Uncle Huang, you have helped our family a lot before, and you also offended Zhao Chunmei because of us this morning. Please accept these two kilograms of rice!"
As she spoke, Jiang Anan stuffed the bag of rice into Huang Xitian's hand and took the opportunity to quickly take his pulse.
It seems like there is something wrong with the throat...
But Huang Xitian had already pushed the rice back, and she had no chance to continue taking his pulse.
"If you can't eat enough at home, send me some rice and take it back quickly!"
Huang Xitian was really a little angry.
It’s good that the child is sensible, but it’s unacceptable for his family to not have enough to eat. In order to thank him, I even brought the rice from home.
This isn't even cheap brown rice!
"It's not Uncle Huang, this..."
Jiang Anan was about to explain when Huang Xitian stood up.
"Alright, alright, I feel good that you guys came to see me. Don't bring anything else, especially food. Take it back quickly, or I'll be angry!"
Seeing that Huang Xitian didn't seem to be joking, Jiang Anan felt a little emotional. The old man really cared about the Jiang family.
"Uncle Huang, we only brought you two kilograms of rice because we have food to eat!"
"I don't want that either!"
Huang Xitian didn't believe it.
The Jiang family only got a few work points last year, and they were only given that little grain. An An even got engaged to Zhao Chunmei's stupid son so that her family could have food to eat.
Tell him now that the Jiang family can suddenly have enough food to eat and have extra food to give him, he won’t believe it!
What if he was three years old?
"I appreciate your kindness, but please take the food back immediately. I have plenty of food here. You can come and chat with me when you have time!"
But after hearing what Huang Xitian said, Jiang Anan felt even more emotional. When she entered the room, she saw porridge on the table that was as thin as water. How could there be no shortage of food?
"Uncle Huang, this food..."
Jiang Anan was about to say something, but Huang Xitian waved his hand to stop her.
"Come on, stop talking. Take these two kilograms of rice home!"
Having said this, Huang Xitian was about to push the two of them out.
However, at this moment, the door was suddenly opened and someone from the Huang family walked in.
"It's fine if my uncle offended Zhao Chunmei by speaking for you, but you Jiang family can't be so greedy that you even come to my uncle's house to take his food?!"
