Chapter 25 Where to get the food
"Uncle, can you please stop being such a good guy? We seem to have enough to eat, but you are the only one who is sick. You drink very watery porridge all day long, and you give food to others. Are we going to die?"
The Huang family was worried and angry.
They couldn't understand it. Huang Xitian's biological son disappeared with Jiang Anan's father. Instead of hating the Jiang family, he helped them so much. What was he trying to gain?
"What are you talking about... ahem...?!"
Huang Xitian was so angry that he kept coughing.
"What can we say? Uncle, we really can't stand it. We heard everything just now. Let them take your food away!"
The Huang family became angrier and angrier as they talked.
Not only had their uncle sent things to help the Jiang family several times before, but now the Jiang family came to ask for food. How could people be so shameless?
"This food is..."
Before Huang Xitian could speak, the Huang family quickly took the food into their own hands.
I took a peek into the bag and saw that the rice was of pretty good quality. I couldn’t even bear to eat such good rice at home!
But a few people were a little confused. Where did the uncle get the rice? When the food was distributed before, everyone got the same.
"Okay, you guys go now!"
The Huang family looked at Jiang Anan and Jiang Dazhuang coldly.
I thought that since my uncle spoke for the Jiang family in the morning, the Jiang family came to express their gratitude, but I didn't expect that they came to ask for food. I really overestimated the Jiang family!
"This food was taken by someone else! Give it back to them!"
Huang Xitian coughed for a long time before he said this in a hoarse voice.
But the Huang family seemed not to believe it.
The Jiang family is extremely poor. They can hardly have enough food of their own. Where do they get food to give to others?
"We did bring this food here. If you don't believe me, just look at the bag. My father Jiang Deming's name is written on it."
Jiang Anan spoke.
This bag is distributed by the village. Every year when grain is distributed, in order to prevent someone from secretly stealing other people's grain, the name of the household owner will be written on the bag.
It’s a good thing I didn’t have any bags at home, so I just took this, otherwise it would be hard to explain.
After hearing this, the Huang family was a little stunned. They picked up the bag and looked at it carefully, and found that the three words "Jiang Deming" were indeed written on it.
Could it be that... this rice was really brought by Jiang Anan?
I don't quite believe it.
Where does the Jiang family get the food?
"Come on, give it back to the owner. He brought it to me to thank me!"
Huang Xitian felt that he had lost all face.
But at this moment, a woman curled her lips and said, "Since you have already taken it, why should you take it back?"
The person who spoke was Huang Xitian’s niece-in-law.
"We don't have enough to eat at home..."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Anan glanced at her. This person was the woman who had just taken away the bag of rice and was also the one who talked the most.
However, after searching the original owner's memory, she didn't seem to have any impression of this person. She only vaguely remembered that she had married into the Huang family in the past two years.
"Whose family can eat enough? The Jiang family can eat enough?"
Huang Xitian didn't like his niece-in-law in the first place, and now he was even angrier.
"Uncle, you can't say that. If they don't have enough to eat, why would they bring a bag of rice? Isn't that just pretending to be rich? If you bring it, you have to take it back. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
The niece-in-law sneered.
The Jiang family was extremely poor, and they were also at odds with the village chief's wife, Zhao Chunmei, who had always looked down on the family.
"Just shut up!"
The more Huang Xitian listened, the angrier he became. He snatched the bag of rice back and was about to put it into Jiang Anan's hands.
"Uncle, I don't intend to give you this bag of rice at all. It's just a formality. I want the face and the money!"
My niece-in-law rolled her eyes when she said this.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Anan was too lazy to argue.
"Uncle Huang, I have no intention of taking this food back since I brought it here. Just keep it."
At this point, Jiang Anan added: "Your throat is not in good condition, try not to get angry, I know a friend who is a doctor, I will come over next time to get you some medicine.
It’s getting late today, so I’ll leave first.”
She was too lazy to continue arguing with Huang Xitian's niece-in-law.
"The girl from the Jiang family..."
Huang Xitian didn't expect that this child actually cared about his health. On the contrary, his nephews... especially his niece-in-law, only knew how to make him angry.
"Have a good rest. I'll come to see you next time."
After saying this, Jiang Anan pulled Jiang Dazhuang and the two left.
But when he passed by Huang Xitian's niece's wife, he heard her mutter, "Pretending."
Jiang Anan heard this and didn't even bother to look at her.
But Jiang Dazhuang felt aggrieved.
After leaving the Huang family, he was panting and extremely angry, "Zhao Haomei and Zhao Chunmei are indeed a family, they can't say anything good about them!"
Zhao Haomei is naturally Huang Xitian’s niece-in-law.
only……
Jiang Anan frowned, "A family?"
"Yes!" Jiang Dazhuang said indignantly, "You know Zhao Chunmei's brother Zhao Eryan, right?"
Jiang Anan would naturally not forget the name Zhao Eryan, because he was the man Zhao Chunmei forced her to marry.
But what does this have to do with Zhao Haomei?
"Zhao Haomei is Zhao Eryan's daughter!"
After hearing this, Jiang Anan was dumbfounded.
Didn't Zhao Eryan have no wife? Where did his daughter come from?
Seeing his sister's confusion, Jiang Dazhuang explained, "Back then, Zhao Eryan murdered a beautiful girl from someone's family. The two of them got married hastily, and the girl died after giving birth to Zhao Haomei.
I heard that Zhao Eryan didn’t want to take care of the child at first, but Liu Quanxing was going to be selected as the village chief at that time, so for the sake of his reputation, Liu Quanxing asked Zhao Eryan to raise the child, but in fact it was Zhao Chunmei who was taking care of the child.”
Jiang Anan became even more confused after hearing this.
But the relationship between the Huang family and the village chief's family seems ordinary, not like what in-laws should have.
After further investigation with Jiang Dazhuang, I learned that Zhao Haomei had a bad relationship with Zhao Chunmei and her brother because of her family background. She even deliberately married into the Huang family, who had always been at odds with Liu Quanxing's family, just to piss off Zhao Chunmei...
Jiang Anan was speechless after learning the whole story. This family was really complicated.
Too lazy to pay attention.
However, the name Zhao Eryan was emphasized in her mind.
Did Zhao Chunmei force herself to marry him just because her brother was idle and had no decent job and couldn't find a wife?
And looking at Zhao Chunmei's attitude towards her brother, would she be interested in a woman like me, who is said to be a "man-sucking woman"?
strangeness.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to meet this Zhao Eryan.
The two returned to the Jiang family.
As soon as Jiang Dazhuang entered the door, he wanted to tell him what had just happened at the Huang family, but Jiang Anan quickly stopped him.
Jiang's mother is already in poor health, and if she knew about this, she would definitely be worried again.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Xiaoqiang tacitly did not tell anyone about the neighbors who came to ask for meat, but after thinking it over, Yang Shulan decided to tell An An about it.
It's not that she is quick-witted, but she inexplicably feels that her sister-in-law is capable and may be able to resolve the matter.
Jiang Anan was stunned when she learned about this.
I almost forgot that there are people living next door, and we have to hide to eat meat.
It seems that I have to find an opportunity to move out.
The next day, Zhao Haomei met her aunt Zhao Chunmei. She didn't want to say hello, but when she thought of what happened last night, she sneered.
"I don't know what you are targeting the Jiang family for. They don't have to work and they can still have extra food to give to the Huang family!"
Zhao Chunmei was stunned after hearing this.
"What did you say? The Jiang family still has extra food?!"
