Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

Eight years ago, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said that she was going out for a trip. When she came back, she was holding her one-year-old mute girl in her arms.

All the adults in the family gathered in the main room and were noisy.

The adults did not let their children get involved in this matter, and asked the eldest brother to lead him and the third brother to play.

When his elder brother wasn't paying attention, he returned to the house and lay on the door to eavesdrop.

At first, Mrs. Liu only said that the child was picked up on the road, and there was no shortage of stuttering children at home. She would adopt him if he could, as it would be a way to accumulate merit for his ancestors.

His mother disagrees.

There is no shortage of people in the family. There are already three boys and one girl. Raising an extra girl is just asking for trouble. My brother-in-law has a hard time getting into the boy's examination, let alone a scholar. He can't get into the scholar's examination in one day. We have to continue to provide for him to study and pay taxes. The rest of the food can only be eaten by the whole family every day. Who will pay for an extra mouth?

After arguing for a long time with no result, Granny Liu became angry and said that if you don't want to raise her, I will pick it up and throw it away. It's a human life, and you can do whatever you want!

In the end, grandpa asked her to tell her honestly where this girl came from.

Mrs. Liu murmured without saying anything useful. There was a bang from the door, and there was a silence inside.

Later, he couldn't hear the rustling voices in the main room clearly.

Then he got a younger sister.

Looking back now, the 'bang' sound was probably the sound of money hitting the table. For a long time after that, the food in the family was pretty good in the morning and evening.

Since he kept the mute girl, his mother also protected her. When someone in the village asked where the mute girl came from, the mother only said that she was from their Lao Jiang family. If anyone who didn't know enough continued to ask, she chased them to other people's homes and scolded her. , over time, no one mentioned the mute girl’s life experience again.

It's a pity that she protected her externally, but not internally. Mrs. Liu, who seemed to sincerely want to keep the mute girl, was so cruel...

Jiang Huaixu took a deep breath and said, "Did you know that Mrs. Liu secretly abused me?"

"I have never seen it with my own eyes." Jiang Erlang said, "I only know that you are afraid of Mrs. Liu, and I thought it was because she didn't have a good attitude towards you."

Jiang Huaixu thought about it and realized that Ms. Liu was indeed very cautious when she abused the original owner. She didn't dare to let others see her and then stab Old Man Jiang.

Seeing that Yaomei was silent, Jiang Erlang felt even more guilty. He and his eldest brother only thought that the mute sister had been wronged in front of outsiders, but they did not realize that there were also bullies in the family. They thought that the mute sister's change was due to those people outside.

The guilt made him not say a word even if he saw something wrong with the current Yaomei.

Seeing his ugly expression, Jiang Huaixu began to calculate his own account: "One ingot of gold is worth one hundred taels of silver, plus the money earned from selling mushrooms. This alone is enough for me to repay you Jiang family for all these years." The grace of upbringing.”

At this point, she paused, "I have always repaid kindness and revenge. Although my parents were negligent, they also fulfilled their responsibilities. You and your eldest brother and sister-in-law are left to protect me the most. The eldest brother and sister-in-law have eaten for a month. The medicine should hopefully give birth to children. As for you, your strength is because of me, and these rewards are enough."

"Do you want to leave the Jiang family?" Jiang Erlang slowly raised his head, his clear eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.

Jiang Huaixu tilted his head, "You know the strange things about me, and you know that I can live better by myself. Why don't you give me a reason to stay?"

Jiang Erlang wanted to say that the world was difficult and people's hearts were unpredictable, and that it would be difficult for a little girl under ten years old to survive. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.

"My parents and grandpa value you very much now..."

Jiang Huaixu snorted and interrupted, "People have to be self-aware. If it were me in the past, I would be very clear about how much I weigh. I always look at people's hearts from the lowest point. Do they value me or the value of me? , I think the second brother must also have some considerations in mind."

Jiang Erlang was dazzled by this smile, and after he reacted, his expression gradually became determined, "I, Jiang Xun, hereby make a promise that as long as I am here, the Jiang family will not be your hindrance, but will only be your help. Just do whatever you want to do, and I'll take care of the aftermath for you."

At this point, the embarrassment on his face flashed away, "Although I haven't even passed the boy's entrance examination now, I believe that one day I will be on the gold list and protect you. If I can't do it, I will be struck by lightning. What a death!"

There was a soft "click" sound, which was not very clear in the rainy night, but both of them were people with sharp ears and eyes. Just looking at each other, they knew that the other party had also heard it.

[Is the person gone? 】

【gone. 】Fu Tuan lazily yawned, 【This Tuan Zi is going to sleep, host, please wish yourself well! 】

"I can find stability on my own, I don't need to rely on others." Jiang Huaixu sat in front of the stove and also yawned.

"And..." She spread out her hand, and a silver ingot appeared out of thin air in her palm. She said with a sly smile, "I will ask my second brother to take more trouble to help me hide it from now on."

Jiang Erlang couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him, and took a few steps back.

He looked dazed for a moment and asked in shock: "Is this... magic?"

Taking back the money in his hand, Jiang Huaixu only said: "Everything I can conjure is mine. Second brother, if others find out about this, I'm afraid I will be burned to death or drowned. This little life depends on me." If you hold it in your hand, you have to carefully consider whether you can protect it."

After saying that, her voice changed again, "If you can't protect me, I'm not afraid, but by then, it won't be me who will die."

Jiang Erlang, who had just recovered from the shock, knew in his heart that the last sentence was definitely not groundless. The secret was no longer a secret when it entered the ears of the second person. He did not believe that Jiang Huaixu didn't know.

With this thought in his mind, Jiang Erlang said seriously: "I will never reveal a word to others."

Jiang Huaixu didn't say whether he believed it or not. He just threw a bottle of milk to Jiang Erlang and said, "It's too late. Forget it, just eat. After you finish drinking, get rid of the bottle."

After saying that, she took Sharizhu back to her space, stood there for a while to let her eyes adjust to the darkness in front of her, and then walked out of the kitchen.

From the moment Jiang Erlang drank the bowl of water by mistake, her only choice was Jiang Erlang.

People in ancient times were not fools. She never thought that she could hide it from everyone. Even if she didn't say it out loud, Jiang Erlang knew a lot of things. It would be better to make it clear and say half of it and hide half of it. Even if Jiang Erlang had other thoughts in the future, he would know it. Have some scruples.

As for Qian Xiuzhu, she just wanted to test it out and know the result. She would know tomorrow.
