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

Chapter 5 This kid hasn't washed his hair in how many days
"Then Sishan, you pick mushrooms here, and we'll go over there and take a look." Jiang Wan touched his hair, "Remember not to run around."

Ye Sishan nodded vigorously.

This is the first time mother touched his hair!

Ever since he had dinner last night, he felt that his mother seemed different, and he liked his mother now!

Ye Sishan squatted down and picked mushrooms with a grunt. He wanted his mother to praise him again.

Jiang Wan wiped his hands secretly.

This kid hasn’t washed his hair in who knows how many days. His hands are covered in oil... Never mind, she herself hasn’t washed her hair or taken a bath for a long time.

Jiang Wan ignored this frustrating thing and walked to the other side with Gu Xiaohui. As soon as they walked over, they saw a lot of wild shepherd's purse.

In this season, shepherd's purse grows wildly, but some of them are old. They can be dried and fried, and they taste good.

Gu Xiaohui immediately squatted down and dug wild vegetables.

Jiang Wan continued searching.

[Ding! Found natural wild torch mushroom! ]

It was another chicken mushroom, growing under a tree in a large yellow cluster. The color made the villagers afraid to pick them, but it was a bargain for Jiang Wan.

This was the most expensive thing she had seen so far, and the system sold it for 33 cents per pound.

She took out a small shovel from her backpack, quickly shoveled the chicken mushrooms off and put them into the backpack...

[Ding! Four pounds of natural wild torch mushroom, worth 132 coins, are you selling it? ]

【Yes! 】

Jiang Wan's wallet bulged.

She calculated, adding the remaining money from before, the total balance now was 184 coins.

With this money, you can buy 60 kilograms of rice in the mall, enough for a family of seven to eat for two months.

"Woooa ...

Not far away, there was suddenly the sound of a child crying.

Jiang Wan didn't want to pay any attention to it, but she felt that the crying sound was vaguely familiar.

She carried the empty backpack on her back and walked around. After a few steps, she saw a large group of teenagers surrounding Ye Sishan.

Ye Sishan cried out of breath: "I saw this first, it's my rabbit, give it back to me, wuwuwu..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you little brat. This is the rabbit we caught!"

"There's no name written on the rabbit, Ye Sishan, so how can you say it's yours?"

"The rabbit is in our hands, it's ours, let's go!"

Several older children were about to leave with the rabbit in their arms.

"stop!"

Jiang Wan walked over and stared at the rabbit.

She wasn't looking at the rabbits, but at the braised rabbit cubes, spicy rabbit heads, and steamed rabbit meat...

When the group of half-grown boys saw Jiang Wan, they collectively took a step back. This was Aunt Ye, who even dared to scold her own mother-in-law. She wasn't going to beat them up, was she?

Several people wanted to run, but they didn't dare to be the first.

Jiang Wan tried to speak in a gentle tone: "Tell me, what's going on with this rabbit?"

The leader was the eldest son of Wang Dashan in the village, named Wang Daniu, who was eleven years old and led a group of young boys to cause trouble all the time.

But the original body was also a scoundrel in the village, often standing with her hands on her hips and cursing in the streets, and the women and mothers-in-law in the village had to stay away from her. How dare these half-grown boys provoke her? But we still have to fight for what we should fight for.

"This is the rabbit we caught!" Wang Daniu said confidently, "Ye Sishan was jealous of us because we had the rabbit, so he had to come and snatch it!"

"That's not true..." Ye Sishan choked up, "Mom, I caught the rabbit first, and they snatched it away..."

Jiang Wan is not a fool.

How could Ye Sishan, a ten-year-old child, take the initiative to snatch the rabbit from this group of people?

This group of people thought that Sishan went up the mountain alone, so they dared to act so unscrupulously.

Jiang Wan's smile turned cold. "As an elder, I shouldn't argue with you kids, but you bullied my Sishan, and I want an explanation. Forget about that, just pay for the medical expenses first!"

She rolled up Ye Sishan's sleeves, revealing red marks all over his thin wrists, and even his sleeves were torn.

She said coldly, "It costs about fifty coins to get some medicine from the doctor, and this dress is unwearable. You must compensate our Sishan for a set of clothes!"

Wang Daniu was stunned.

Ye Sishan's hand was just a little red, but there was no breakage or bleeding. Why did he have to pay fifty cents for medical expenses?
Also, the clothes this bastard is wearing are already torn and can’t be worn anymore, why should he be asked to pay for them all? Isn’t this extortion?

The younger brother behind Wang Daniu whispered, "Last year, Aunt Ye threw a tantrum at my doorstep for two cents, which really pissed off my mother."

Now it's fifty cents and a set of clothes. Aunt Ye, this weirdo, is probably going to take a rope and cry, make a scene, and then hang herself in front of their house...

Jiang Wan spoke again: "This rabbit is the evidence. I think the head of the village will stand on my side..."

Wang Daniu immediately threw the rabbit in his hand away: "It's none of our business, let's go!"

A large group of boys ran away.

"My rabbit!"

Ye Sishan rushed over and hugged the rabbit that was about to escape in his arms.

Jiang Wan opened the empty panel and spent two cents to buy a small box of safflower cream. She said, "Stretch out your hand."

Ye Sishan stretched out his hand obediently. He saw his mother holding a small box and applying something on his wrist. It felt cool and the pain in his wrist was gone.

He stared blankly at Jiang Wan applying the medicine. His mother, who he thought was very fierce before, was so gentle now.

What he envied most in the past was Shitou's mother. She was gentle and loved to laugh. She would save all the delicious food for Shitou, and Shitou always liked to show off in front of him.

Now that his mother has become like this, he is really happy.

But what if this is just a dream...

Ye Sishan was happy and sad, with his little face drooping.

Jiang Wan didn't know where such a young child came from with so many little thoughts, being happy at one moment and worried at the next.

She has never given birth to a child nor raised one, but in this day and age, as long as the child has food to eat, he or she will be happy.

She asked, "Sishan, do you like steamed rabbit or braised rabbit?"

Ye Sishan's eyes widened in horror. Rabbits are so cute, why should we eat them?
He wanted to take the rabbit home and raise it. He had already planned to build a grass nest behind the house for the rabbit to be its home. He could play with the rabbit every day in the future. The rabbit would definitely become his best friend...

Jiang Wan had no idea that he wanted to raise rabbits. In this famine year, people had no food to eat, so how could they afford to raise small animals?

She picked up the rabbit. The rabbit was so skinny, probably less than two kilograms. There were seven people in the family, and one bite for each of them was not enough to eat.

[Ding! Found a pure wild free-range shaggy rabbit, one pound and five ounces, worth 60 coins, would you like to sell it? ]

Jiang Wan took a look at the rabbit meat in the mall. Rabbits from modern farms only cost six cents per pound. This wild rabbit weighing less than two pounds could be exchanged for a domestic rabbit weighing eight or nine pounds...

In fact, farmed rabbit meat is more tender and delicious, but people in modern society like to pursue pure natural game, so the wild food here is more expensive in shopping malls.
