Chapter 20 Harvesting Herbs
"The harvest this year is not good. After working for several months, it finally rained, but the fields were flooded." Aunt Zhang said and sighed.
This situation is not limited to Aunt Wang's family. People in the entire Wanshan Village are having a hard time now. Last year's harvest was not enough to eat, and now every household is tightening their belts to make ends meet.
Nowadays, it’s good enough to have something to eat, let alone a few bites of meat.
This is also the reason why when Jiang Chuyue cooked meat before, the smell of meat could attract so many people, and some even risked their lives to steal the meat. If Wu Gang hadn't protected the family, Jiang Chuyue would have suffered a great loss.
However, Jiang Chuyue was in the mountains every day, and apart from meeting and talking with Xiao Yihao and Aunt Zhang, she didn’t know much about the situation in the village.
She knew that the villagers had a hard time, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
When Jiang Chuyue heard Aunt Zhang say that Aunt Wang's family had no more food left and was now living on the few potatoes left in the cellar, she slowed down her eating.
Xiao Yihao glanced at her and saw that her face was a little pale. He didn't know what she was thinking.
After thinking for a while, he picked up a piece of food for Jiang Chuyue with chopsticks and said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
There are so many mouths to feed at home, and it all depends on Jiang Chuyue. Although Xiao Yihao has never said any words of thanks, he knows in his heart that if Jiang Chuyue hadn't gone out early and came back late every day to make money, Xiao Shuangshuang and Xiao Feng would have starved to skeletons, let alone meat.
"Thank you." Jiang Chuyue said thank you subconsciously and was struggling. If everyone was having a hard time, she would feel really bad watching. Although the villagers were gossiping, Jiang Chuyue really couldn't bear to see them so hungry that they didn't even have anything to eat.
Jiang Chuyue also knew that when the nest is overturned, no one will be left unbroken. Now everything was fine at home because Wu Gang was guarding it, but if someone was really starving to death, who knows what would happen.
Jiang Chuyue, who already had an idea in her mind, looked at Xiao Yihao. She was not familiar with Wanshan Village, but Xiao Yihao was a native of Wanshan Village, so she had to ask him for help to make decisions on matters like this.
"What are you trying to do?" Being stared at by Jiang Chuyue's eyes that seemed to be real, Xiao Yihao couldn't pretend not to see it.
Jiang Chuyue thought for a moment and said, "I have an idea. There are plenty of herbs on the mountain. If everyone is willing to go up the mountain to collect herbs, I can collect their herbs."
Seeing Xiao Yihao's unclear expression, Jiang Chuyue continued to add, "Of course, this is just a small idea of mine. Whether it is feasible or not, and how to do it if you want to do it, still need to be considered in the long run. Do you think this is feasible?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Aunt Zhang and Wu Gang at the table also put down their chopsticks. Aunt Zhang did not expect Jiang Chuyue to have such a plan. She was just really worried about Aunt Wang's family.
Aunt Wang's wife had just given birth to a child. A woman who is still in confinement now has to work in the fields all day long just for food. It would be fine if she could have a full meal this way, but it is all in vain. She can only watch the crops in the fields slowly die.
As a woman, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but feel a little emotional and worried, so she couldn't help but bring it up.
But after hearing what Jiang Chuyue said, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but become a little nervous. If this was really feasible, at least the villagers would have a way out.
Aunt Zhang was about to speak in response when Wu Gang tugged at her clothes under the table. She looked at Wu Gang in confusion, and when she saw him shaking his head with disapproval in his eyes, Aunt Zhang regained her senses and remained silent.
He stared at Xiao Yihao and Jiang Chuyue in silence, waiting nervously for their next plan.
Xiao Yihao did not expect that Jiang Chuyue would suddenly have such an idea. He and Jiang Chuyue had not been married for long, but he had roughly figured out Jiang Chuyue's character. She was not the kind of person who cared about others before. Although her character changed drastically later and she started to take care of the two children, she was not the kind of person who would repay evil with kindness.
You have to know that many people in the village have offended her, and she never shows mercy when she takes action.
Although he was surprised, Xiao Yihao did not think about it for too long. "This is feasible, but I need to study it in depth to know how to do it."
After hearing what Xiao Yihao said, Jiang Chuyue immediately became energetic. She didn't care about eating anymore and poured out her plan all at once.
"Here's what I think. There are quite a few medicinal herbs on the mountain. If you want, you can go up the mountain to collect them. Of course, I have to teach them how to identify the herbs before they go up the mountain."
Jiang Chuyue spoke quickly, her mind working quickly, "The herbs they picked can be exchanged for other things here, rice, flour, and vegetables, depending on how precious they are. If they want money, that's fine too. It depends on what they need."
"We need to reconsider the pricing of the herbs." Jiang Chuyue touched her chin and suddenly turned her gaze to Wu Gang and Aunt Zhang. "If this is feasible, you can come and help, Aunt Zhang. Of course, you will be paid according to your labor."
Jiang Chuyue, who already had an idea, conducted more detailed research and discussions with Xiao Yihao after dinner. On the third day, she asked Aunt Zhang to find Aunt Wang and Aunt Li.
They were told about the herb harvesting. Aunt Wang and Aunt Li had heard Aunt Zhang talk to them about it before they came, but when they really heard Jiang Chuyue talk about it, they still couldn't hide their excitement.
"Sister Jiang, is what you said true?" The speaker was Aunt Wang. She had a baby waiting to be fed, but there was no food left at home, and her wife had no milk since giving birth.
The child was hanging on to his life with just a few mouthfuls of rice soup. Seeing the child getting thinner and thinner, Aunt Wang became increasingly anxious.
So when I heard Aunt Zhang talk about this, I wanted to go up the mountain to pick herbs right away.
"Of course it's true." Jiang Chuyue smiled. She knew that this might not be an easy thing to do. She was young and the Xiao family had little say in Wanshan Village. It was normal that some people did not believe it.
But now everyone is out of food. No matter whether it is true or not, there will always be people who will give it a try.
"But how much do you know about medicinal herbs? How many herbs can you identify?" Jiang Chuyue's question silenced everyone who was extremely excited after hearing her words.
Jiang Chuyue had expected this to happen.
