Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich
Chapter 7 Always Wanting to Help Her
"You feel that the injury I suffered was in vain because of your few words. Either you pay compensation or go to court," Jiang Nan looked at the family in front of him with cold eyes.
"Look at this, head of the village," Ergou felt uncomfortable under Jiang Nan's gaze. He didn't know where the aura of a little girl came from. He actually felt frightened and his whole body was cold.
Ergou looked at the village head with a look as if asking for help, wanting him to help.
"Ergou, these three boys of yours usually cause trouble in the village. They are annoying to everyone. Now that they are in trouble, you should give ten cents to this girl."
The head of the village ignored Ergou's gaze and finished speaking with a dark face. At the end, he did not forget to turn around and ask Jiang Nan for his opinion.
"Thank you, head of the village," Jiang Nan knew that the people in the village depended on working in the fields all year round and did not have much money. It was also a year of disaster, so Jiang Nan did not say much.
"Li Zheng, this..."
"Go and get the money quickly," the village head said sternly, interrupting Ergou's next words.
Seeing this, Ergou had no choice but to go to the temporary tent to get the money.
The people watching outside Ergou's yard saw the state of Ergou's family. The family, who had been persecuted, finally felt relieved.
Jiang Nan took the copper coins from Ergou, thanked the head of the village, and returned home with the two little ones.
In the original body's memory, these ten cents could buy a few buns.
The bad guys were punished, and Jiang Bei was extremely happy along the way.
"Sister, you are so awesome."
"Sister, how can you be so smart?"
"Sister, do you think I can be like you when I grow up?"
Jiang Bei looked at Jiang Nan with admiration, his big eyes twinkling with stars and with the clarity that only a child can have.
"Xiao Bei, you will definitely be more powerful than your sister when you grow up," Jiang Nan, who was praised, did not hesitate to say anything.
After returning to the residence, Jiang Nan used the flame brought by Jiang Bei to ignite the hay that had been prepared long ago, and finally put in dry branches.
"Sister, we don't have a pot. How can we eat these chestnuts?"
"When the fire from the branches is smaller, bury the chestnuts and steam them until they are cooked."
If I throw the chestnuts in now, they will burn to ashes along with the branches. Chestnuts are small and hard to find in the fire, so I plan to put them in last.
Looking at the extremely simple environment, Jiang Nan felt that her current life was similar to a primitive one.
Seeing that the fire was almost done, he buried the processed chestnuts in it.
The next step is to wait for the food to mature.
The most lacking thing after the disaster is food. Jiang Nan thought that he had to pick the chestnuts from the back mountain as soon as possible.
If you have food in your hands, you won’t have to worry.
"Sister, it smells so good!" Jiang Shuang held up his dirty little face and spoke in a soft voice. He and Jiang Bei gathered around the fire, staring at it.
"I think it's more delicious than what mom used to cook."
"Mom, I miss you," Jiang Shuang's eyes instantly turned red when he heard Jiang Bei say that, and he lowered his head and sobbed softly.
Jiang Nan looked at the two of them, who were happy just now.
Although she inherited the memories of her original body, she still has independent thoughts and is still the same person.
She didn't share the sadness of losing a loved one with the two of them, but she felt a little distressed when she saw the tears dripping down their faces.
"It's okay, don't cry. Mom definitely wants to see us live happily and doesn't want to see us sad. Sister will always be with you," Jiang Nan walked up to the two of them and hugged them in her arms. Jiang Nan, who had never coaxed a child before, raised her hand stiffly and patted them gently to comfort them.
"Yes, mother must like to see us happy, Shuang'er, don't cry," Jiang Bei heard Jiang Nan's words, raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face, and began to coax the younger Lin Shuang.
"Hmm, smells good, come and eat the chestnuts," Jiang Nan saw that the two had calmed down and led the two little guys to the food.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Shuang's big round eyes turned, attracted by Jiang Nan's voice, and asked with a wronged tone in tears.
"Okay, come here, both of you," Jiang Nan looked at the two of them with amusement, they were indeed children.
Jiang Nan did not pull out the chestnuts immediately. Instead, he rekindled the dying fire and moved it to another place to avoid the trouble of asking others for fire.
After doing all this, Jiang Nan found the chestnuts one by one.
A lot of chestnuts were picked in the afternoon. Jiang Nan only kept a few and cooked the rest, planning to have a big meal for the three of them today.
Jiang Nan had just picked out the chestnuts when Jiang Bei rushed over to grab them.
"It's hot, wait a minute," Jiang Nan hurriedly tried to stop him, but he was a step too late. He saw Jiang Bei picking up a chestnut, tossing it back and forth with his burned hands, and he didn't let go. Jiang Nan ignored him.
"Shuang'er, it's too hot. We are not like our brother. We are girls and need to be reserved. Let's eat later."
"Um,"
As soon as Jiang Nan finished speaking, a peeled chestnut was handed directly to her mouth.
Jiang Nan paused and looked at Jiang Bei with some surprise. This child was so impatient that he actually peeled the fruit for her to eat.
Jiang Nan was stunned for just a moment, then he reacted and opened his mouth to accept it.
"Sister, thank you for your hard work," Jiang Shuang said to Jiang Nan with a serious face like a little adult.
"Our Xiaobei and Shuang'er are so sensible, it doesn't take hard work for their sister," Jiang Nan muttered, choking a little on the chestnuts he was eating.
"Alright, eat now! It won't taste good if it gets cold."
"Also, eat slowly and don't choke."
After Jiang Nan finished speaking, the three of them stopped talking and started to eat.
Even Jiang Nan, perhaps because he had been hungry for too long, was very satisfied with just the simple chestnuts.
However, Jiang Nan did not allow the two to eat too much. They had been hungry for too long, and it would be difficult for them to digest too much at night.
There was no water, so Jiang Nan took out the apple he had eaten before to temporarily quench his thirst.
Jiang Nan put the remaining chestnuts in a corner of the tent and saved them for tomorrow morning.
The faint firelight shone on the faces of the three people. There was nothing in the simple tent.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain. There are so many things that need to be purchased, and we need to think of ways to make money.
Some people cannot live without salt, and the dozen copper coins in their hands can probably buy some salt.
There are also pots for cooking. Although it is early autumn now, it is still a bit cold at night, so we need to buy some pots to keep warm.
In winter, a tent alone is definitely not enough to keep you warm. No matter how big your house is, you still need to build a room.
Jiang Nan became worried when she thought about this. Her family had been well-off since she was a child, and she had never had to worry about food or drink. Now she was experiencing the sufferings of the world.
"Xiaobei, Shuang'er, I'm going to pick some chestnuts tomorrow morning. You just wait for me at home!"
"Sister, I'll go with you."
"No, Shuang'er is still young, and I'm worried about her being alone at home. Please help me take care of Shuang'er."
Jiang Bei then nodded in agreement. This child always wanted to help her do something.
The tent wasn't big, but it was just enough for three people to squeeze in. It had just rained and there was no hay, so they could only put their spare clothes under them to sleep.
