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

"What are you arguing about?! If you want to eat, let your parents, brothers and sisters dig it out. If you can't dig it out, come and ask for it. Why don't you just grab it!" Jiang Wei's cheeks turned red with anger.

She squatted here and watched for a while. Finally, she was so curious by the smell that she couldn't help but pick up a roasted sweet potato and break it open to look at it. Unexpectedly, she only took two glances and all the little kids came over.

Jiang Huaixu patted Jiang Wei on the shoulder, took the roasted sweet potato in her hand and tasted it. The roasted sweet potato was very sweet, making her squint her eyes in enjoyment.

The children immediately forgot to shout when they saw her actions. Some of the younger ones opened their hands eagerly, and the transparent liquid from the corners of their mouths couldn't help but flow down.

"Want to eat?" Jiang Huaixu asked very gently, shaking the roasted sweet potato in his hand.

The noise disappeared instantly and was replaced by a unanimous "Think!"

Jiang Huaixu smiled with satisfaction and waved to Shanwa, who was squatting not far away and gnawing his fingers, "Shanwa, come here!"

Shanwa was stunned, sniffed, and shrank his neck in fear. Seeing that Jiang Huaixu was still looking at him with a smile, he stood up and walked step by step in the direction where Jiang Huaixu was.

Jiang Huaixu waited patiently for Shanwa to come to her, touched his head, and gave him the other half of the sweet potato in Jiang Wei's hand.

Jiang Wei wasn't upset either. She let her second brother take the roasted sweet potatoes, and Yaomei wouldn't be stupid enough to put food in other people's mouths.

Shanwa was beaming with joy, holding the roasted sweet potato as if holding some treasure. He sucked back the snot that was about to fall into his mouth, stammered a thank you, and turned to find his mother.

His mother is Zheng Guihua. Since Jiang Laizi's death, Zheng Guihua's energy and energy seem to have been sucked away. She stays in a daze every day and doesn't speak.

Seeing him skipping away, the smile on Jiang Huaixu's face disappeared. "If you want to eat, it's five cents each. Go to the adults to get the copper coins. If you don't give them, you won't be allowed to eat."

After saying that, she said to Jiang Wei: "Sister, grab your things and let's go!"

Although the children were young, they knew what a copper coin was, and they also knew that adults would not give them coins. Many children wiped away tears and returned to their resting place, crying for sweet potatoes.

Some women held back their anger and attacked their children, while others criticized Sang and Huai. Some even went directly to Jiang Huaixu to ask for an explanation.

Qian Xiuzhu naturally noticed the movement here. She just glanced at it and lowered her head again.

The eldest daughter is stupid, but the younger daughter cannot afford to suffer. It is a good thing for the eldest daughter to learn more from her.

Zhao Chunfang, the village chief's wife, found her husband and asked what to do.

The village chief also took a look and continued with his work, "Have you forgotten that girl held a knife to someone's neck? Anyone who falls into her hands will only become a chicken that 'kills the chicken to show the monkey' ·······”

At this point, he suddenly raised his voice, glared and asked, "Our baby didn't go and make trouble, did he?"

Zhao Chunfang was stunned by his question, and couldn't help but spat: "Why have you been busy all day long? Our granddaughter has just learned to walk, and her grandson is still breastfeeding, what can they cause trouble?!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Sister Xu, why do you let Shanba eat it but not my Dalinzi?"

Jiang Huaixu stopped and sneered, "This sister-in-law looks so stocky. She must have no shortage of food at home. Mine happens to be short of food. Why don't you trade the food with me for sweet potatoes?"

The fat wife was unhappy for a moment, "Why can his mountain baby eat for free, but my family has to exchange it for grain? Are sweet potatoes comparable to grain?"

"I can give my things to whomever I want, even if they are fed to wolves in the mountains, I am happy to do so."

Jiang Huaixu looked at the young girls and wives who were watching the fun, "Children are not sensible, so are you adults? Shanba is young and is much more sensible than your family. What's more, other people's food does not come from the sky. Since you are asking for it if it falls, don’t blame me for not giving you face!”

The fat wife's face turned the color of pig liver after she said it. When he was about to speak, he was pulled away.

Turning around, she saw her man's forehead was covered with sweat, and Jiang Sanlang was standing behind him.

"Is there no food at home? How can you compete with several children for food?!" the man roared in a low voice.

The fat wife curled her lips, "It's not that I want to eat it, our son wants it..."

"Let's go, let's not be embarrassed. I can't even look after my children. What else can you do besides eating?!"

The man held the child in one hand and the fat wife in the other, pushing him away.

The leading bird died in battle, and those in the crowd who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fan the flames suddenly stopped thinking.

This time they finally saw it clearly. As long as they faced Sister Jiang Xu, they would either scold her or beat her if she got scolded. It would be better to be on good terms with Mr. Jiang in the future.

"These people are so outrageous!" Jiang Wei pouted with displeasure, "They should be robbers if they just ask for it!"

"First cousin, don't be angry. Anyway, they can't compare to the second cousin...and you." Jiang Fu stuttered at the end.

Jiang Wei glanced at her and snorted arrogantly.

"Third brother, did you find the fat wife and her husband?" Jiang Huaixu asked.

Jiang Sanlang wiped his sweaty hands and couldn't help laughing, "Fat daughter-in-law, hahahaha, doesn't this fat aunt usually like to eat the most? She will definitely not let go of our sweet potatoes that are so fragrant. As soon as I see her coming, I will Off to find her man.”

Jiang Huaixu gave him a thumbs up.

"Where are the sweet potatoes?" She looked around but didn't see any.

"Here it is." Jiang Erlang handed the cloth bag he was carrying to Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu took it, opened it and looked at it. The roasted sweet potatoes were really fragrant.

"Let's eat first and then work after eating."

Tianya and the others couldn't help but murmur happily, sitting in rows on the rocks, waiting for Jiang Huaixu to send them food.

After Jiang Huaixu passed them one by one, he gave the rest to Qian Xiuzhu.

There wasn't much roasted food, so the adults could only eat fresh food, but there was still a lot in the baskets, and they could cook sweet potato porridge for dinner.

Jiang Huaixu had just eaten, so she was not hungry. She returned to the tent and took out the rice steaming barrel from the space to start her own water filtering plan.

She first spread some charcoal leftover from roasting sweet potatoes on the bottom layer of the barrel, and then placed fine sand, coarse sand, small pebbles, and large rocks on top of the charcoal.

"What's the use?"

There was a questioning voice above his head. Jiang Huaixu looked up and saw that it was Jiang Erlang. He explained as he moved: "Drinking rainwater before was at least cleaner, but now the water I drink is too turbid and has a lot of dirt in it. If you get sick after drinking it, it will be bad." .”

She patted the wooden bucket under her hand, "This can filter dirty water."

"Filter?" Jiang Erlang savored the word carefully.

"Actually, it's purification. Isn't there a saying, 'If you drink clean water, you won't get plague'. After a flood, as long as you keep things in your mouth and nose, you won't get sick."

"It turns out that there is still such a saying. It's because my second brother has limited knowledge. You wait here and I will bring the water."

"Okay." Jiang Huaixu nodded.

As soon as Jiang Erlang left, Jiang Zhou came over.

"Sister Xu, is what you just said true?"

Jiang Huaixu looked up at him, "Why am I putting so much effort into this if it's not true? It's just a joke. Believe it or not, benevolence is in the eyes of the beholder, wisdom is in the eyes of the wise, and stupidity is in the eyes of fools."

The last sentence made Jiang Zhou fall down in anger, "You little girl, talk..."

Jiang Huaixu shot the knife in the eye, and Jiang Zhou shut his mouth instantly.

He just suddenly remembered that this girl seemed to have a dagger on her body, and it would be bad if she got angry.

"My family also needs to drink clean water, teach me."
