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

After Jiang Dalang led his wife and younger siblings to kowtow to Old Man Jiang, they were driven out by the second grandfather and second grandmother to prepare things for burial.

The funeral could only be kept simple, and time had to be taken. If the Wutuo River really burst its banks, let alone burial, it would be hard to tell where the body would be washed away.

At this time, the role of the three brothers came into play. The three sons of the Jiang family went to borrow things from other houses in the wind and rain, while Jiang Huaixu and Jiang Wei just sat wiping their tears.

To be precise, Jiang Wei wiped her tears while Jiang Huaixu watched.

It wasn't that she didn't cry, she also cried a few times. Unfortunately, she didn't have any feelings for Old Man Jiang and she wasn't a professional actor. She pinched her thighs and could only howl a few times.

Tianya, on the other hand, was full of emotions. When she saw Jiang Wei crying non-stop, she cried so much that she was so contagious that Xiaofeng also started crying.

There was no other way, Jiang Huaixu could only secretly buy a pound of chili noodles in the mall, secretly transfer a little bit to his hand, and apply a little bit to the corners of his eyes, and tears suddenly flowed out.

Jiang Wei was only concerned about being sad at first, but when she raised her eyes inadvertently, she was so frightened that she almost jumped up, "Yaomei, Yaomei! What's wrong with your eyes?!"

Jiang Huaixu was so smoked that he couldn't open his eyes when he heard Jiang Wei say in horror: "Second Grandma, come and see, Yaomei's eyes are blinded from crying!"

Jiang Huaixu:······

Miscalculation, the chili noodles I bought were too spicy.

Finally, after washing her eyes with water for a long time, she knelt in front of Old Man Jiang's coffin with a pair of walnut eyes.

This thin coffin was bought from an old man's house in the village. The old man bought it and planned to lay it down by himself. After struggling for a long time, he couldn't bear to let old man Jiang be buried scrawled in the grass, so he sold it to the Jiang family.

When Qian Xiuzhu and his wife returned, they were followed by many villagers who came to express their condolences.

Those who can come to express condolences at this time are all sincere friends with the Jiang family.

After discussing with everyone, Boss Jiang decided to bury him today, at the foot of Houshan Mountain.

After a period of chaos, everyone carried Old Man Jiang's coffin out of the house.

There was no man left in the family, so Jiang Wei helped Zheng Liniang make breakfast.

Jiang Huaixu boiled some ginger soup and prepared it for those who came back from the mountain.

While lighting the fire, she always felt that something seemed to have been overlooked.

But she couldn't remember it for a moment.

When she heard Zheng Liniang and Jiang Wei talking about the Liu family and their son, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "Where are the Zhao family members?"

"Second Aunt?" Jiang Wei was confused and suddenly remembered something, "Second Aunt!"

"My mother said that my uncle had been exterminated. The village chief did not drive the mother and son out of Shili Village because of the constant rain. They should have gone back to their own home. Mrs. Zhao might have been tripped up by something. "Zheng Liniang guessed.

Thinking of Mrs. Liu's ashen face, Jiang Huaixu temporarily put the matter behind her.

It was a very busy day. It was already half an hour after the Jiang family buried Old Jiang. Zheng Liniang kept making dry food, and Jiang Wei and Jiang Huaixu kept helping.

When the dry food was almost done, I started to pack things again.

Jiang Huaixu's things were so easy to pack, she threw everything she could use into the space.

After cleaning up, she thought of Zhao again.

When I walked to the main room, I saw Jiang Fu hugging Jiang Rong and huddled on the floor in the corner, sleeping soundly.

Patting Jiang Fu's hand, she hooked her fingers at Jiang Fu who woke up, stood up and walked towards the door.

Jiang Fu walked up to Jiang Huaixu timidly, lowering her head and saying nothing.

"Did your mother tell you when she would pick you two up?"

Jiang Fu shook her head, still lowering her head and saying nothing.

Jiang Huaixu didn't like silent people very much, but seeing that Jiang Fu was only eight years old and had a three-year-old sister below, he patiently said a few more words.

"We are going up the mountain tomorrow. You and Jiang Rong must make a plan before we go up the mountain. It is up to you whether you want to continue waiting here or go back to your mother."

Jiang Fu was not familiar with this cousin. Her father was a Tongsheng and her mother was the daughter of a scholar. She was very strict with her on weekdays, and she was not allowed to play with her friends in the village. She always said that they were mud-legged. You can't get ahead in this life, but their family is different.

She didn't know what was different. She obviously lived in a village. But my mother said it was different. The more she said it, the more she believed it.

But everything changed after my father started gambling.

Her father became fond of beating people, and her mother cried all day long. After her grandma lived in her house, even if she worked all day long, her grandma was not satisfied and would either beat her or scold her.

Every time he spanked her, her father seemed to be invisible, and her mother didn't dare to stop her. She just watched her cry.

At this time, she knew that she was no different from the girls in the village.

The cousin in front of her was the most different person she had ever seen.

She saw this cousin hit her grandma with a stone by the stream.

If only she could be as powerful as her cousin, no one would dare to bully her and her sister.

Jiang Huaixu lost all his patience when he saw Jiang Fu didn't say anything. When he turned to leave, he was grabbed by someone.

"Second cousin, my mother doesn't want us anymore."

Jiang Huaixu stopped in his tracks with a cry in his voice.

"My mother left this to me. It is her last dowry."

Jiang Fu carefully took out a silver hairpin from her arms and handed it to Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at it but didn't answer.

"When she left, she told me to give this to my uncle and aunt. It's worth several taels of silver. She also said that if she didn't come back until dark, she told my sister and I not to wait for her." Jiang Fu's eyes The tears in her eyes fell down, "Mom didn't let us go to our father and grandma. She said they wouldn't care about us. It was best to stay with our uncle and aunt, so that we could survive."

"Your mother is very thoughtful, but have you ever thought about whether my parents want to take you two with them?" Jiang Huaixu's words were very straightforward.

Jiang Fu's face turned pale, "I will take good care of my sister, I can also work!"

"Go and tell my parents yourself. Whether they agree or not is up to me."

After saying these words, Jiang Huaixu walked away.

She didn't care if the two sisters were hanging around under her nose, but she just didn't want to get involved with Mrs. Liu because of these two people.
