Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 26 Acting
"What did we misunderstand?" He Hua and Liu Cui looked at each other and said in unison.
Jiang Chuyue let out a long sigh, "Since you insist on asking me till the end, I can only explain it clearly." After a light cough, Jiang Chuyue gave Aunt Zhang a wink, intending to remind her.
"Now our family of four is already struggling to make ends meet. I had originally planned not to ask Aunt Zhang and the others for help, but I haven't found the right opportunity yet. Since Second Aunt and Grandma have asked, I'll take this opportunity to talk it over with Aunt Zhang."
Seeing Aunt Zhang's surprised and then lost expression, Jiang Chuyue knew that she must have misunderstood, but now was not the time to explain it clearly.
"How is that possible?" He Hua questioned subconsciously without thinking.
Jiang Chuyue was not annoyed. She pulled He Hua and went straight to the kitchen. When they opened the rice jar and saw that it was empty, He Hua and Liu Cuiyou did not give up and rummaged around in the kitchen again. In the end, they only found a little cornmeal and nothing else.
Turning around, he kicked Jiang Chuyue viciously. Seeing her look that said "See, I didn't lie to you", He Hua felt a pang in her heart.
"Your home is better than ours after all. Why don't you let mom stay with you?" After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao to object, He Hua hurriedly ran away with her son. She looked like a ghost chasing her.
Liu Cui, who was left behind, cursed in her heart as she watched He Hua leave, but she also understood that He Hua would definitely not believe that Xiao Yihao's Jiang Chuyue's life was so miserable, so she asked her to stay and take a look.
However, she didn't expect that in the following days, not only would she have to live a life of having no food to eat, but Jiang Chuyue also used the excuse of going up the mountain to collect herbs, leaving the task of taking care of the two children and Xiao Yihao to Liu Cui.
When collecting medicinal herbs, Jiang Chuyue also tried to order Liu Cui to help. How could Liu Cui, who was already hungry, tolerate such humiliation?
He quit the job immediately.
"Jiang Chuyue, I am your elder, how dare you order me around?"
The villagers who were waiting in line for Jiang Chuyue to exchange food for them leaned over and looked over.
"There's so much food here, and you're not willing to give me a bite?" After saying that, Liu Cui sat down on the ground and started to act like a spoiled child.
"Come and see, my granddaughter-in-law is bullying me, an old man, every day. She doesn't let me have a full meal and even asks me to help with the chores. How am I going to live like this in the future?"
……
Liu Cui spoke a lot in a very eloquent manner, but Jiang Chuyue didn't seem to react. Jiang Chuyue pretended to be aggrieved and waited until Liu Cui had vented almost enough before she spoke aggrievedly.
"But grandma, these grains are originally for everyone. Everyone trusts me and is willing to send the herbs they collected to me. Of course, I can't let everyone down."
As she was speaking, Jiang Chuyue stood up and pretended to help Liu Cui, but was slapped away by Liu Cui, "The remaining food will be our rations."
Seeing the back of her hand turning red, the villagers in the queue became a little anxious, and some of them with bad tempers almost pointed at Liu Cui's nose and scolded her.
"You old hag, don't think that we all don't know. When the family was divided, the second son and He Hua took the good fields and the new house from you because they wanted to support you. This new house was built with the help of Xiao Yihao and his father."
As fellow villagers of Wanshan Village for many years, who doesn’t know about the Xiao family’s affairs?
In the past, they just didn't want to say anything too harsh, but now seeing that Liu Cui had set her sights on the food that they deserved, everyone couldn't help but get anxious.
You know, as the weather is getting colder, the food sold in the grain shops is scarce and expensive. If Jiang Chuyue hadn't found a way to get so much food for them, I'm afraid the villagers would have difficulty making ends meet.
Aunt Wang was even more direct, "Don't think we don't know your tricks. Are you eager to send all the food to your second son's family?"
As the crowd became more and more angry, Jiang Chuyue disappeared.
She knew that if she wanted to accomplish something, she didn't have to do it herself. As long as it involved other people's interests, someone would naturally step forward.
Now she has involved most of the people in Wanshan Village. In this way, even if Liu Cui wants to use her status as an elder to pressure them, there will naturally be people who speak for them.
Victory over the enemy without fighting.
But Jiang Chuyue didn't expect that Liu Cui would explode after enduring for less than three days. But it was better this way. It would be right to send Liu Cui away as soon as possible.
Liu Cui, who had never expected to become the target of public criticism, pointed at these people and criticized them for a long time without saying a word.
His eyes quickly swept over them and landed on Jiang Chuyue, and he cursed, "You little bitch!"
"Who are you scolding?" Aunt Wang stepped forward to protect Jiang Chuyue, pointing at Liu Cui and continued to attack, "Old woman, you should have some dignity now that you are old, right? Don't think that you can bully Miss Jiang just because she is easy to bully! I told you, if you have the guts, just go over me."
As Aunt Wang stood up, the others became more and more angry, and some of them were almost pointing their fingers at Liu Cui's face.
Liu Cui, who always acted arrogantly in the Xiao family, had never been treated like this before. However, she was still strong and fainted without any anger.
Looking at Liu Cui's embarrassed back as she left, Jiang Chuyue suppressed the urge to laugh, looked at Aunt Wang who turned around and looked at her, and raised her hand to wipe the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes.
In everyone's eyes, this scene seemed like Jiang Chuyue had suffered so much injustice that she started crying.
"Sister Jiang, if she comes to trouble you again in the future, just speak up. Your Aunt Wang may not have any other skills, but she is good at scolding people." Aunt Wang reached out and patted Jiang Chuyue on the shoulder.
Jiang Chuyue pretended to be strong and wiped away her tears, "I'd better settle the accounts with everyone first."
Even at this time, Jiang Chuyue still thought about them first. Aunt Wang and other villagers began to feel sorry for Jiang Chuyue.
Jiang Meizi is such a nice person! If it weren't for Jiang Meizi collecting medicinal herbs, I'm afraid they would only be able to eat tree bark now.
With this idea in mind, everyone gave Jiang Chuyue some advice when exchanging food. Jiang Chuyue had tears in her eyes, as if she was moved by everyone.
She didn't say a word the whole time, let alone mention how badly Liu Cui treated her. But the more she said that, the more people thought about it.
On the second day, the news that Liu Cui and He Hua teamed up to bully Jiang Chuyue and the disabled Xiao Yihao spread like wildfire.
Xiao Yihao took his two children to Aunt Zhang's house yesterday and didn't know what happened exactly last night.
