Moreover, the village chief had always said not to casually go into the mountains when there was no need. There were not many wild vegetables to begin with. If we dug them all up, there would be none left to eat. Could it be that Jiang Gui, the one speaking of sneaking into the mountains, is from their family?
Or did they see that his family’s life has improved, and decided to take advantage of them? again?
However, even without Jiang Gui coming, Jiang Chuan realized that despite their best efforts to look out for the villagers’ welfare, they could not keep the villagers’ mouths shut.
When Jiang Gu went out to play a few days ago, many villagers took advantage of his young age and bombarded him with questions. Even the village chief, who was always considerate of others, was scared and stayed home.
Apparently, Jiang Gui had gone to the village chief’s house first but didn’t get any information, so he brazenly came here.
Speaking of splitting the family, Jiang Gui naturally understood. If it weren’t for his wife pushing him to ask, Jiang Gui wouldn’t have swallowed his pride to come here.
“I’m your elder brother from the same mother. 1 see your family’s meals have improved, this porridge is so thick, and you’re even eating pickles.” After saying this, he swallowed, and said bitterly, “You brought so many wild vegetables to the city, you must have sold them, right? Look at your family, your meals have suddenly improved, you must have made a lot of money?”
Hearing Jiang Gui’s words, Jiang Chuan immediately showed a cold face, “How could you slander us like this, brother?”
“Exactly! What are you talking about? What do you mean by ‘we made a lot of money’? If others hear this, will our family survive?” Even Zhou Lan couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Jiang Gui.
“Since you call me big brother, I’m just saying it to you. If there were outsiders at home today, 1 wouldn’t mention it.”
On the surface, this seems considerate, but on closer examination, it is clear that Jiang Gui is threatening them.
He wouldn’t say it today, but what about tomorrow and the day after?
With the constant rumors in the village, if word gets out, who knows what kind of turmoil it could cause?
However, he is not the timid Jiang Chuan of before.
He sneered a couple of times, protected Zhou Lan behind him, and said to Jiang Gui without good temper: “If you want to spread rumors, go ahead. After all, I still bear the surname Jiang, don’t I? Even if others believe that 1 made money, can the Jiang family stay out of it? Won’t they suspect whether you have taken any advantages? Can you escape the spit of others?”
Hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, Jiang Gui was immediately aroused and pointed at Jiang Chuan’s nose and cursed, “You dare to drag the entire Jiang family into this!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? Has the Jiang family ever spared us? Have you forgotten about the stealing incident?” Zhou Lan couldn’t stand Jiang Gui’s pretentiousness anymore and couldn’t help but bring up the old story. “Perhaps you weren’t criticized enough and want to experience it again!”
Zhou Lan looked at Jiang Gui with distaste. What she didn’t expect was that he had the audacity to come to their house to ask about the wild vegetables.
The two sisters eating nearby glared at Jiang Gui. If he dared to act, they were not pushovers.
In Zhou Lan’s words: Let’s get it done!
Who’s afraid of who!
However, Zhou Lan’s momentum really shocked Jiang Chuan. He was only used to arguing, but when Zhou Lan got angry, she was ready to fight.
That would be the end. They, father and daughters, couldn’t hold back Zhou Lan.
Fortunately, Zhou Lan was angry for only a moment and didn’t really mean it.
But he was still a little worried, so he thought of an excuse to send Zhou Lan out first, “Honey, didn’t Xiao Xia and Xiao Gu say they wanted to visit the Village Chief? Why don’t you take them to see him now, and by the way, tell the village chief that the Jiang family is visiting our house again. 1 don’t know if they’re planning to steal something again.”
After that, Jiang Gui was completely dumbfounded.
At first, he thought Jiang Chuan was brave to ask his parents to separate the family.. Now it seems that not only has he become bolder, but both husband and wife seem to have completely changed
