The whole village is starving, but I have a full warehouse of meat in the mall

Chapter 21 It was her mother who asked her to go to Huaihua Village to report the news, so why did she scold her for talking nonsense?

"Everyone who participates in digging bamboo shoots should take out 10 kilograms each, and the total will be around 200 kilograms to be distributed."

When everyone heard this, they felt a little excited.

The head of the village was the most fair. He proposed that each family pay ten kilograms, which meant that each family could dig at least a hundred kilograms.

These days, a hundred kilograms of food can save lives. If a family tightens their belts and eats sparingly, they can last for a month.

The whole village followed the headman up the mountain.

As they walked up the stairs, the women and aunts and sisters-in-law couldn't help chatting with each other, and some rumors spread.

"I heard that the jade bamboo shoots were discovered by the old Ye family. As soon as Old Man Ye found it, he immediately told the head of the village."

"But there is a troublemaker in their family, Ye Laoer's wife, Li. Yesterday she secretly sent a maid to Huaihua Village to tell her family about the bamboo shoots on the mountain."

"When the village head and Old Man Ye went up the mountain together, more than a dozen people from the Li family were digging for bamboo shoots. That's the mountaintop of our Lotus Village. Why should we let people from Sophora japonica Village dig it away?"

"How did you deal with it in the end? Is the jade shoot coming back?"

"We are kind-hearted and honest. Seeing that the Li family's grandchildren were starving to the point of being skin and bones, we let them take 20 kilograms of bamboo shoots back home."

"Because Li had leaked the news, the village head suddenly summoned all the villagers to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. If they were a little late, they would have been dug up by the people of Huaihua Village."

"The people in Huaihua Village are so despicable. They set traps on the mountain before, but now they dare to come and steal food."

"..."

The crowd was talking at once, which made Li very angry.

The jade bamboo shoots on the mountain were discovered by her daughter, so what's wrong with asking her parents to dig some?
If it weren't for her daughter, Da Ya, who followed them, how could her sister-in-law, with her personality, tell the head of the village? How could these people be qualified to go up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots? A bunch of shameless ungrateful people, who took advantage of their Ye family and turned around to scold her!

Li opened her mouth to refute, but they were from the same village and saw each other every day. If their relationship became too bad, she would be blamed by the old lady.

She raised her hand and pinched the little girl Si Ya hard. The little girl was only seven years old. She was pinched so hard that her eyes were filled with tears.

"Si Ya saw something delicious and couldn't help but go to her uncle's house to show off. Who could have thought it would turn out like this?" Li explained to everyone, then lowered her head and scolded, "If you dare to open your mouth and talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Si Ya was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe.

It was clearly her mother who asked her to go to Huaihua Village to report the news, so why was she scolding her for talking nonsense?

But her mother's expression was so scary that she didn't even dare to cry.

Grandma said that when she was still in her mother's belly, her mother thought she was a son, but she turned out to be a girl, and her mother didn't like her very much.

She covered her arm which was pinched and hurt, and followed the crowd silently.

The villagers were a little unhappy. If they said a few more words, Si Ya would probably be hung up and beaten.

Jiang Wan in the crowd shook his head.

It is understandable that she sided with her mother's family, but it is also understandable that she angered everyone. If it were her, she might not be able to handle it properly.

But she would never let her child take the blame.

In the final analysis, it was because we were too poor and it was also a year of famine. Everyone wanted to have enough food and everyone had selfish motives.

After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at our destination.

The six-acre dry pond may not look big, but underneath the soil are layers upon layers of bamboo shoots. You can dig out a lot of them with just a shovel.

But the soil here is so dry and hard that it takes a cup of tea to dig out a bamboo shoot. If you want to take it out of the mud intact, it will take even longer.

Jiang Wan and the five children went down and found a place with shade. She reminded them, "Dig as much as you can. Don't be too stubborn. Be careful not to scratch your hands." Ye Erhai patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, mother. I have a thick skin."

He picked up the shovel and started working enthusiastically. Ye Dahe and Ye Erhai were not inferior to him and moved quickly. Ye Sishan and Ye Xiaofang squatted on the ground and peeled off the mud on the outside of the jade bamboo shoots. After peeling them clean, they put them into the backpack.

Jiang Wan was an adult, so she had no nerve to be lazy. She squatted down resignedly and helped them work.

After a while, she felt a burning pain in the palm of her hand, and in just a short while, a big blister appeared on the palm of her hand.

Ye Dahe said, "Mom, go to the side and take a rest. We will do the digging."

Jiang Wan frowned: "The four of you open your palms for me to see."

The guys were thick-skinned and tough, so they were not hurt at all.

Jiang Wan shut himself off.

The original body was too lazy and had not worked for a long time, so his skin and flesh were more delicate than that of a teenage girl.

She stood up and walked to the side to rest.

This was the original body's usual operation, and the villagers didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Having many sons is a good thing. Once the four sons grow up, each of them will be an excellent labor force. Sister-in-law Ye deserves to enjoy a leisurely life.

Other sons may forget their mothers after getting married, but Sister Ye is a ruthless person. Look at what happened to Dahe's wife after she came into the family.
In the future, when the second, third, and fourth sons’ wives come into the family, they must obey the rules and be filial to their mother-in-law!
Many women in the village had red eyes due to envy.

Especially Li, who had no son and was most jealous of those who had many sons in the village. She glanced at the two girls beside her and felt more and more upset, and her face instantly became gloomy.

The two sisters, Daya and Siya, were so frightened that they dared not speak and just worked silently. Blisters formed on the palms of their hands, which were then rubbed and bled, but the two sisters did not dare to say a word.

Jiang Wan sat in the shade and rested for a while before getting ready to continue working.

She stood up and was about to help when a voice sounded in her mind.

[Ding! Found natural wild hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum! ]

There is no telling how much wealth is hidden deep in the jungle.

Jiang Wan did not go to the lotus pond. She turned and walked towards the dense forest.

The mall gave her directions and took her to an old tree. Under the layers of broad leaves, there was a Ganoderma lucidum growing.

She took out a small shovel and dug out a green Ganoderma lucidum from the soft soil. It felt like it weighed a thousand pounds in her hand.

[Ding! Natural wild 150000-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, worth coins, are you selling it? ]

【Yes! 】

Jiang Wan's heart was beating wildly.

15 Wen is equivalent to 150 taels of silver.

In this era, there were only a handful of people with assets exceeding one hundred taels of silver, and she unexpectedly became a wealthy woman by accident.

She exchanged the copper coins for silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels and forty-nine taels of silver in the mall, and exchanged the rest for copper coins.

Even so, her waist bag was bulging and she felt a little uncomfortable walking.

Jiang Wan calmed down and bought a chicken in the mall. Then he walked over to the crowd with the chicken in his hand and said with a smile, "I'm lucky. I caught a pheasant. You guys are busy. I'll send the pheasant back first."
