The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"You're back." As soon as she stepped into Tang's house, she heard Tang Zhongbai's voice coming from the main room.

"Correct."

She trotted into the main room and saw Tang Zhongbai sitting at the dining table. There were two dishes, a soup and two stir-fried steamed buns on the table.

In the middle of the table is a large ice jar.

When he saw her coming, he opened the ice container, poured a bowl of iced plum juice and pushed it in front of her.

"You look hot, try it."

Jiang Muxia was not polite, he raised the bowl and drank it all, saying "It's great."

"Even if it tastes good, you can't drink too much." Tang Zhongbai put away the ice jar and handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Let's eat. We can talk while we eat."

"You guys are pretty quick. I passed by the north of the city and saw that there were no victims on the street. Have you examined them, brother? Are there any abnormalities?"

The terrible stench she smelled two days ago must have been caused by a dead body. The hot weather brought dense mosquitoes and flies at night. When mosquitoes and flies bite people, the virus will be transmitted from person to person and will soon develop into an epidemic.

"Brother Xu said he would give me the results this morning. It's almost noon, and I haven't seen him yet. Maybe he didn't find anything unusual."

Tang Zhongbai paused for a moment with his chopsticks in his hand. He was not sure. At this time, he did not want Xu Da to appear at home. He was afraid of hearing bad news from him, but also worried that his news would come too late, delaying the people's illness. He was very conflicted.

"That's good. When those outsiders came to our county, didn't the people in the north of the city make a fuss?"

"They want to make trouble, but we give them food on time every day. Cao Jun'an is there every day. If they dare to make trouble, that guy will cut off their supply." When Tang Zhongbai mentioned the charming man, the temperature around him dropped a few degrees, and he felt cold all over. He was not like this when he was a child. I don't know what stimulated him to become weird and make people feel uncomfortable.

"Is he reliable?" Jiang Muxia had a very bad impression of him. She had never seen such a person in both of her lives. Her intuition told her that this was a person who did not play by the rules. If she was not careful, she would fall into his hands.

Tang Zhongbai drank some rice soup and said nothing.

Because he didn't know either. They hadn't seen each other for many years and had never had any contact in the intervening years. He didn't know what he had been doing, and he looked like this when he saw him again many years later.

It was his own initiative to set up the porridge stall in Qinghuanju without reporting it to the government. After the incident in the north of the city, he volunteered to run to the porridge stall in the scorching sun and stare at it without blinking.

He just thought it was out of childhood affection, helping him share his worries.

Jiang Muxia looked up at him, and seeing that he had no expression on his face, she tactfully changed the subject.

"I went to Tianji Temple yesterday. I don't know where those maids went. They were dirty and looked very tired. I'm afraid they will cause more trouble. You have to be careful."

"I don't allow you to interfere in their affairs. The people from the Qingyi Sect are secretly watching them and will report to you if anything happens. Just focus on taking care of your second uncle's family." Tang Zhongbai warned her seriously.

Ever since he was bitten by a poisonous insect and nearly died, he became wary of people who came to the temple.

These people came all the way from the south, it is impossible that they only have the poisonous insect as their only weapon.

First, they poisoned the Nineteenth Son and burned his body. Then they cut off their ability to go to other villages and put poison in the porridge. Then they burned their poisonous insect nest. Now they have found a way to remove the poisonous insects.

All the methods they used were defeated one by one, so how could the goddess let it go?

What Tang Zhongbai was worried about was that she would become desperate and use vicious means to target Jiang Muxia, and then he would be dead.

He added, "Wait until the poison in my second uncle's family is cured, and then you all return to the county. Lu Village is too unsafe."

"it is good."

Jiang Muxia agreed readily. Half a month would be enough for Jiang Hongxin to recover from her injuries.

Since she couldn't be persuaded, she would just go along with her and help her recover from her injuries. What happened next would depend on her own luck. She had an excuse to walk around the temple and check on the maid's movements.

She picked up a piece of fried egg for him and said, "Eat more. Your health is important."

Nanny Jiang came in with a plate of mixed cucumbers and placed it on the table. She said with a smile, "This is grown from the seeds that Madam sent from the capital. You can try some."

She stood there and didn't leave, waiting for them to taste the food and give their comments before she would feel at ease.

Jiang Muxia didn't notice that there was some heartache in Nanny Jiang's eyes when she looked at her. This child didn't even know what had happened at home.

She shouldn't have said this. She would have discovered it herself when she got home.

She was very glad that the young master had been busy with official duties these days and knew nothing about what happened in the Jiang family next door, otherwise he would have difficulty explaining to her.

Jiang Muxia picked up a piece of cucumber with chopsticks and put it in her mouth. She took a sip and it was a little sour. It was also a little spicy because of the garlic juice. She chewed it more and it tasted sweet and refreshing. She nodded and praised it as delicious.

"Mammy, please save some seeds so I can plant some next year. They are so delicious."

"Okay, okay, I'll stay. I'll stay more." She went out with a smile.

A small episode made the atmosphere between them better. Seeing that he refused to eat, she put the chopsticks into his bowl and said, "Try it. It's really delicious."

"I'll leave all the delicious food for you. I eat it often." He picked up the soup bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp, then pushed the remaining buns and dishes in front of her.

Jiang Muxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I eat well and have enough food at my uncle's house. What do you think I am? I can't eat so much."

"No, look at how thin you are. Your eye sockets are sunken."

This person really doesn't know how to talk. What does "eye sockets are sunken" mean? Does this mean she is old?

Knowing that he cared about her, she didn't care. She left home early in the morning without eating a single bite. She was really hungry, so she picked up a steamed bun and started eating it with the food in big mouthfuls.

Come to think of it, she had never treated herself badly in terms of food since she started working at the ferry in late autumn last year.

It seems that I still have to rely on my own hands, live under the noses of other people, and look at other people's faces in everything, even if that person is my closest grandfather.

Not at all.

After she finished her meal, she said goodbye.

"I haven't been home for a long time. I'll go home today and come to see you another day." She walked to the door, feeling uneasy, and turned around and said to him, "You'd better ask your brother for clarification. Once the epidemic comes, it will be out of control. Early detection and early control. Now Suanzao County is the only one we can rely on."

"I see."

Jiang Muxia walked to the courtyard and was stopped by Nanny Jiang. "Go home first. When you get back to the village, come home. I have something for you."

Her eyes were filled with worry as she watched Jiang Muxia leave. This child was very clear about gratitude and resentment, and she wondered what kind of extreme reaction she would have when she saw the person she hated.

Tang Zhongbai walked behind her, glanced at her, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Don't leave yet. Something big might happen to the Jiang family. You have to go and persuade them."

"What's going on?" Tang Zhongbai didn't understand. Now the Jiang family stayed at home and didn't go out. Although the Lu family was there, she knew what could happen.

"Grandpa Jiang lives in her house." A gloomy look flashed across Nanny Jiang's eyes.

"What?" Tang Zhongbai was shocked. "How dare he come? How dare he come?"
