Chapter 29 Don't Dirt My Eyes
Jiang Lianzhu asked the driver of the garment shop to drive the carriage into the back door of her house to unload the goods. Dabao consciously closed the yard door to prevent others from watching the fun.
So as to avoid others being jealous.
After unloading the goods, the mother and her sons packed up the valuables, put the clothes and quilts into the inner room, and put the rice, flour, grain and oil into the kitchen. They locked the door and then let the carriage go back.
At this time, the villagers who were watching were still there, curiously asking Jiang Lianzhu, "What's going on? Why is there a carriage bringing you and your son back? Did you make a fortune somewhere?"
"I heard you were selling autumn pear paste in the market today, and it was selling for more than one or two taels of silver. Is that true?"
"Oh, it must be true. Otherwise, how could they afford a carriage to bring them back? It's not cheap, it would cost at least a hundred coins."
…
Someone with sharp eyes saw through the crack in the yard door that there were a lot of extra pots, pans, and groceries in the yard.
"Jiang, what are you buying these for?"
Jiang Lianzhu did not hide it. "I make autumn pear paste. I did go to sell autumn pear paste today. Autumn pear paste is also made from wild pears I picked from the mountains..."
Some were thick-skinned and rolled their eyes. "How did you do that? Can you tell us?"
Granny Lu in the crowd scolded her, "Say, Sister Liao, how can you be so arrogant? Can they tell you the recipe for something they made that can be sold for silver? Why don't you just tell them to give you the silver directly?"
Liao's face flushed. "Tsk, I was just asking casually. Who doesn't know how to make something with wild pears? I'm going into the mountains to pick pears to make autumn pear paste..."
After hearing what she said, almost everyone who was watching the excitement at the door left.
Soon, everyone went into the mountains carrying big baskets and backpacks.
Erbao looked anxious again and wanted to pick wild pears too.
Jiang Lianzhu stopped him and said, "We haven't eaten yet, there's no rush."
Granny Lu scolded those people from the side, "They are all short-sighted people. Jiang, don't take it to heart. There are so many wild pears in the mountains that they can't pick them all. Even pigs won't eat them normally, but after you did this, they picked them all. I'm telling you, picking them is useless. What kind of autumn pear paste can they make? They can't make it at all. If they could make it, why would they have waited until today?"
After scolding her till here, he asked Jiang again, "How could you do that?"
"When I was at my mother's house, I heard the recipe from an old lady. I had never seen wild pears before and didn't think about it. Yesterday, when I went into the mountains and saw wild pear trees on several hilltops, I suddenly remembered it. I came back to try it, and I didn't expect it to work." Jiang Lianzhu thought of her words.
Grandma Lu nodded. "Jiang, you're smart. You've changed your ways, and your luck has improved. You'll definitely have a good life in the future. Don't worry about them picking all the pears. There are few people in your family, and the children are still young, so you can't pick as many as they can. I'll go back and talk to my older grandchildren. They don't have to work in the fields in the afternoon anyway, so let them help you pick more..."
"Thank you so much, Aunt Lu."
"Thank you, Grandma Lu." Dabao also spoke.
The older grandchildren in Grandma Lu's family are all over ten years old. They are full of energy and can pick fruits faster than adults when they are like monkeys climbing trees.
After saying that, Jiang Lianzhu went into the house to make lunch for the children.
"Grandma Lu, have you eaten yet? How about coming to our house for lunch? We bought some meat today and plan to make braised pork."
Granny Lu quickly said, "It's eaten, it's eaten, you guys eat, give it to the children."
But even after saying this, he still didn't leave.
Hesitant to speak.
"Aunt Lu, do you have anything else to say?"
Granny Lu looked around to see if there was anyone around, then lowered her voice and said, "Jiang, when you went to the market, I thought you had some meat in your house, so I guarded the door for you and didn't let anyone in. Then I saw that someone from Old Wang's family seemed to be burying something around your house in a sneaky way, and I don't know what they buried..."
Jiang Lianzhu frowned, "Thank you so much for helping us guard our home. What can they bury? We are not afraid of them."
Could it be that he buried some snakes, insects, rats and ants to scare the mother and her children?
This obviously has no effect!
Jiang Lianzhu is not someone who is afraid of these things, let alone Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao. Erbao enjoys catching centipedes, and Sanbao dares to step on mice at such a young age. These are too easy for them.
Before Jiang Lianzhu could give any instructions, the two brothers Dabao and Erbao went to look for her separately without saying a word.
Granny Lu said everything she needed to say and went back to her housework. "Why thank you? We're all from the same village. You're only seventeen or eighteen years old, and without a husband to look after you. It's really hard to raise three kids. My little help isn't worth much. Anyway, you better be careful. The Wang family doesn't seem to have good intentions."
"Yeah, thank you, thank you..."
Grandma Lu is gone.
Dabao and Erbao also came back soon.
Dabao had a sour look on his face. It was Jiang Lianzhu's first day after crossing over, and she had never seen Dabao with such an expression before.
I feel extremely unhappy.
"What's wrong? Dabao?"
"Let's talk inside." Dabao stood up and closed the gate of the yard.
"What happened? Did they bury some disgusting poisonous insects or something?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.
"Mom, are the Wang family crazy? They actually stuffed such weird things into the cracks in the walls around our house!" Erbao was very angry. He loosened his hands, and a few pieces of yellow paper appeared in his palms.
There were some ghostly designs drawn on the yellow paper.
Dabao hurriedly snatched the yellow paper and crumpled it into a ball, not letting Jiang Lianzhu see it.
"Don't pollute my eyes. Burn them quickly."
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Wait a minute, kid, why are you so angry? You're not usually impatient, so why are you so impatient now? Come, show me these talismans. What do they want to do?"
Dabao refused to give it to her, "Mom, please don't pollute my eyes. I'll just take it to the kitchen and burn it."
Jiang Lianzhu felt a little guilty.
Dabao repeatedly refused to show it to her, thinking that she was really a water ghost and was afraid that these talismans would harm her?
At this moment, the door outside was slammed shut.
A group of people shouted, "Open the door, Jiang, open the door! I know you are back!"
This is the voice of Lao Wang's family.
Dabao and Erbao both changed their expressions.
Especially Dabao, he was very nervous.
Jiang Lianzhu was displeased and shouted, "What do you want to do? You're hitting my gate so hard! If it breaks, I'll never let you go."
The person outside said, "Open the door! We made our mother faint yesterday, and she's still silent today! We're here to demand an explanation!"
