Chapter 5 Forced
How could Jiang Anan not guess what Zhao Chunmei was thinking?
"I got this food in exchange for the pheasants I shot in the mountains. I got it back the day before yesterday and I didn't have time to tell my mom! What's wrong with the origin? You can go to the city and ask around. I went door to door to get this in exchange!"
Jiang Anan didn't dare to say that she had exchanged with the villagers, for fear that Zhao Chunmei would go and inquire about it, and then everything would be exposed.
"Traded with pheasants? What kind of pheasant can be exchanged for so much food?!"
Zhao Chunmei gritted her teeth.
Do you think she is stupid? Is a pheasant that valuable? The people in the city are short of food, so why would they exchange so much food for a pheasant?
"I caught several pheasants and some mushrooms, which I saved up day by day and took to the city to exchange. Where do you think I got so much food? Did I steal it or rob it? If it was not obtained legally, would I dare to give it to you?!"
Jiang Anan was not panicked at all, because those things were taken out from the space, and they came from a legitimate source!
"You asked us to pay back the betrothal gift, and now we have paid it back! If you don't want it, forget it."
As she spoke, Jiang Anan pretended to take back the two bags of brown rice.
Zhao Chunmei quickly snatched it back. In those days, even landlords didn't have surplus food. How could she not want such good food?
"Then I'll accept it, no matter where you come from. Your marriage to my son is cancelled, and we're even now!"
After saying that, she planned to leave.
This matter could only be considered for the time being. She didn't dare to argue any further, for fear of angering Jiang Anan and making her remember something!
But Jiang Anan had no intention of letting her go and stopped her directly.
"Do you think I can't guess who spread those rumors in the village? You ruined my reputation, and you came to my house to ask for the return of the betrothal gift and force me to marry your brother! If I didn't happen to have food to pay the betrothal gift, I would have been forced to marry your brother today!
Now, why should I just let it go? You must apologize to me and clarify to the whole village that I did not go up the mountain to seduce men. Give me a clear name! And, I say it again, I did not seduce men! I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
Wow!
Stunned.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhao Chunmei didn't expect Jiang Anan to be such a tough guy.
She was the wife of the village chief, and so many people were trying to please her? Now she was asked to humble herself and apologize to Jiang Anan? She was also asked to go and clear Jiang Anan's name with the whole village?
Why?!
Zhao Chunmei has never felt so aggrieved!
"If you don't want to, you can't take the food! You ruin my reputation and you still want to take my food. Is that a good thing?"
Jiang Anan stared at Zhao Chunmei.
She has traveled through time, which means she has died once. What is she afraid of now? !
Good people will only be bullied!
Seeing Jiang Anan being so tough, Zhao Chunmei began to feel a little guilty.
Although Jiang Anan couldn't be said to be a coward in the past, she wasn't that stubborn either. Could it be that she remembered what her brother had done? !
Zhao Chunmei didn't dare to gamble, and finally she could only apologize to Jiang Anan helplessly, and then she reluctantly broadcast to gather the villagers to clarify that Jiang Anan had never hooked up with a man...
The matter was finally settled.
But the people in the village were skeptical. It was just gossip. No one cared whether it was true or not. As long as they could talk about it, it was fine.
Jiang Anan was too lazy to continue arguing with Zhao Chunmei. Her most urgent task was to find out who the lecher who tried to rape her was!
That person followed her up the mountain and drugged her. If she didn't catch him, she was afraid there would be a next time!
Jiang Anan didn't think she would be lucky enough to meet the man who would save her.
At the village chief's house, Zhao Chunmei was also extremely anxious.
She was not sure whether Jiang Anan knew that Zhao Eryan had used drugs to do something bad to her. At this moment, Jiang Anan was like a time bomb, and you didn't know when she would explode.
If Jiang Anan didn't marry her brother as soon as possible, if Jiang Anan remembered who it was one day and reported it, everything would be over. But now Jiang Anan even returned the betrothal gift, what else could she do to him? !
Zhao Chunmei was worried.
At this moment, I happened to see the brigade secretary coming in with the work points book.
"Sister Chunmei, give it to the village chief later. These are the work points registered today!"
The brigade secretary put down the work point book and left.
When Zhao Chunmei saw it, she had an idea in her mind.
In the west of the village, at Old Jiang’s house, the whole family gathered around Jiang Anan.
Jiang's mother couldn't help but speak first, "An'an, did you really go and exchange this food with the people in the city?"
It's no wonder they don't believe it. After all, An An has only been to the city a few times. How dare she be so bold as to go and exchange food with the people in the city? You know, if this is a little more serious, people will accuse you of speculating! How can this little girl be so bold?
"yes!"
Jiang Anan responded without blushing or beating her heart.
Who would believe that she got the food from the space? Moreover, she didn't dare to spread the news, otherwise if anyone targeted her, she would be finished.
Mother Jiang looked at her daughter deeply and sighed, "Forget it after that. Don't go up the mountain..."
If the incident in the mountains hadn't happened, she really thought that catching pheasants in exchange for food was a good way to make a living. Look at the whole family, they are so skinny, isn't it because of hunger? But you can't let your old daughter take risks in the mountains again just for food? I don't know if someone has ruined her innocence...
What a sin!
"I know, Mom. Even if we don't go up the mountain, there is still a small river to the west of our village. There are small fish there, and we can exchange them with people in the city!"
Jiang Anan said something quickly.
She has so many things in her space warehouse that she has to sell. Otherwise, just leave them there? Aren't we just asking for trouble?
Of course, these things must have a source, and exchanging them with people in the city is the best and most reasonable excuse at the moment.
"Which creek has small fish? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Mother Jiang looked confused.
If that were true, why wouldn't anyone go fishing?
"I discovered it by accident. I can't always catch fish..."
Jiang Anan felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, Jiang's mother didn't think about this. She was still concerned about her daughter's innocence.
At night, she couldn't help it and pulled her daughter outside.
"An An, Mom wants to ask you, did anything really happen to you in the mountains?"
She was also an experienced person, so she could tell that her daughter must have experienced something! But she was still unwilling to give up, so she wanted to ask again.
Jiang Anan was silent. Did it happen, or did she force him to do it?
But can she talk about this?
