After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

Jiang Yun Ning turned around and saw Jiang You Cai's youngest son, Jiang Qiu Sheng.

He walked towards her with a shocked expression: "You don't mean to send that good-for-nothing Song Minglang here to study, do you? No wonder you forced your own uncle to pay you back."

A few days ago, Jiang Youfu and Jiang Mancang came to my house early in the morning to borrow money. Although Jiang Youcai wouldn't give it to them, he was very curious as to why they suddenly needed so much.

Only after asking did I learn that it was to compensate Jiang Yunning.

Jiang Yun Ning rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention, and pulled Jiang Che's hand to leave.

"Huh?" Jiang Qiusheng, feeling ignored by Jiang Yunning for the first time, stepped in front of her to block her path. "I'm talking to you! Can't you hear me?"

Jiang Yun Ning pouted and let go of Jiang Che's hand.

"Where did this barking come from? Do you know how noisy you are? Your lousy voice is more annoying than Aunt Hua's two quacking ducks that can't lay eggs."

She was speechless. She had already given him a chance, but he stubbornly insisted on coming at her, so she couldn't blame him.

At this time, it was the time for students to enter the college, and many students stopped to watch the excitement.

"You!" Jiang Qiusheng blinked blankly, momentarily at a loss for words.

"Hey. Qiusheng." Shen Yan, a classmate who had never gotten along with him, walked over: "Finally, someone else thinks you're as noisy as I do."

Jiang Qiusheng's face turned pale and then red, and he pointed at Jiang Yunning through gritted teeth: "You are so vulgar! How dare you talk to your cousin like that? No wonder you could force your own uncle to give you thirty taels of silver."

He was smart enough to know that he couldn't prove himself now, so he could only draw everyone's attention to Jiang Yun Ning.

"What? You're asking your own uncle for thirty taels of silver?"

"My God, this little girl is so ruthless!"

The crowd's discussions were made without any attempt to conceal their true intentions, and to Jiang Qiusheng's ears, they sounded like encouragement.

He continued smugly, "You emptied your family's coffers, stole your sister-in-law's dowry, and used it to support a gigolo who doesn't even look at you. Bah! You've disgraced the Jiang family."

"Hahaha, what kind of brain is this?"

"So easily fooled? Are you stupid?"

Shen Yan, who hadn't spoken since the beginning, was watching Jiang Yun Ning expectantly, wanting to see how she would retaliate.

His intuition told him that Jiang Yunning didn't seem like the type to be bullied.

really.

"Stop flattering yourself; we're no longer family."

Seeing that he wouldn't give up, Jiang Yun Ning raised her voice.

"Back then, your father knew that our family might have offended a powerful person, so he came to our door early in the morning to sever ties with us. That was bad enough, but he also wanted to take away our only fat pig and dared to ask for fifty taels of silver."

Jiang Qiusheng's eyes widened, as if he didn't recognize Jiang Yun Ning in front of him anymore.

In the past, she would always lower her head in embarrassment whenever she met him, never daring to look him in the eye. How come she dared to talk back and argue with him so confidently today?

Is it really true, as his parents say, that Jiang Yun Ning has finally grown up?

"Furthermore, you said I asked my uncle for money, but why don't you mention that he and Jiang Mancang went to my house to steal money and were discovered, resulting in my mother and five-year-old Anhe being beaten so badly they suffered head injuries and fell unconscious?"

Jiang Yun Ning pressed on relentlessly, giving him no chance to explain, and started shouting again: "Everyone come and see! Jiang Qiu Sheng actually thinks that the thief who broke into the house and injured someone is not at fault, but instead blames me, the victim, for demanding compensation!"

She's not afraid of losing face, but I wonder if Jiang Qiusheng is.

"Jiang Yunning!" Jiang Qiusheng hurriedly tried to step forward and cover her mouth. But as soon as he got close, Jiang Che blocked him.

"It's a disgrace to be classmates with someone who can't distinguish right from wrong and distorts the truth!" Jiang Yun Ning didn't even try to avoid it; she and Jiang Che had already developed a tacit understanding.

She throws a tantrum, and he protects her.

After all, Jiang Che is shy and can only do a good job on defense.

"Jiang Yunning!" Jiang Qiu's face turned red with anger, and the gazes of those around him gave him the illusion that they were about to expose him.

Shen Yan, standing to the side, laughed heartily and continued to fan the flames: "My God, Qiu Sheng, I never thought you were this kind of person. Your father is so aloof? And your uncle, tsk tsk tsk."

"Shut up!" Jiang Qiusheng was even angrier, but for some reason, Jiang Che looked thin, but he was so strong. Just by grabbing his shoulder, he made Jiang Qiusheng wince in pain.

"Let go." He tried hard to shake off, but having never done any heavy work since childhood, his strength was naturally much weaker than Jiang Che's.

Jiang Yun Ning put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows smugly.

"Jiang Qiusheng, you don't know, do you? My uncle has already reimbursed me for the medical expenses. I heard Song Minglang has made a fortune. Do you think this money is from the Song family paying back the money?"

She deliberately remained ambiguous, letting Jiang Qiusheng guess for himself.

"What did you say?" Jiang Qiusheng had already forgotten to struggle.

Seeing his reaction as if his home had been raided, Jiang Yun Ning was even happier.

He patted Jiang Che's arm: "Let's go."

The two had only walked a few steps when they heard very hurried footsteps behind them. Jiang Che was about to block them when he saw Jiang Qiusheng dash past them like a gust of wind and run out of the academy.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed eager to go home and inform Jiang Youcai.

"Jiang Che." Jiang Yun Ning's lips curled up, as if everything was within her expectations: "Do you think Jiang You Cai will go back and cause trouble?"

Jiang Che nodded without speaking, but it was clear that she also believed that Jiang Youcai and his wife wouldn't let it go so easily.

The two went to the same shop where they had bought the bow before, and got the same bow and fifty arrows.

After picking up Jiang Anhe, the group went home.

After dinner, Jiang Anhe continued reading and learning to read with Jiang Che, while Jiang Yunning quietly slipped to the door of the old house to peek inside.

Calm and calm.

Jiang Yun Ning shook her head in disappointment and left.

The next morning, before dawn, Jiang Yuning and Jiang Che carried baskets on their backs, along with two bows and a shovel.

They took food and water hyacinths and went deep into the mountains.

We took the same path we used to dig up sweet potatoes last time.

As we walked deeper into the forest, the trees grew taller and taller, their dense canopies almost completely blocking out the sunlight.

After walking for half the morning, Jiang Yun Ning was covered in sweat.

"Take a break." She sat down, opened the water gourd, took a couple of sips of water, and then handed it to Jiang Che.

At this pace, they should be able to reach that area deep in the mountains by tomorrow morning. But that's assuming they don't get lost.

After eating a simple meal to replenish their energy, they continued walking.

Jiang Che casually shot a wild rabbit, thus securing dinner for the evening, and also acquired a rabbit skin.

Neither of them dared to sleep soundly that night, fearing that hungry wolves might emerge from the forest. They could only take turns resting with their eyes closed, and continued their journey into the woods early the next morning.

"Don't move." Jiang Che suddenly grabbed Jiang Yun Ning's arm, his eyes full of vigilance.

Jiang Yun Ning dared not breathe, the tips of her fingers gripping the bow turning slightly white.

The sound of heavy objects treading on leaves was somewhat chaotic, along with the grunting and squealing of pigs.

"Wild boars?" Jiang Yun Ning asked excitedly, lowering his voice to look at Jiang Che, whose eyes were fixed on the direction from which the voice came. "Yes. A group."

group?

Jiang Yun Ning's joy instantly turned into apprehension.

They definitely couldn't defeat a group of wild boars on their own. If all else failed, they would have to knock Jiang Che unconscious and bring him into their spatial dimension.

Soon, two very fat wild boars appeared not far away, followed by three piglets.

Jiang Yunning's heart sank even further.

It turned out to be a wild boar with piglets.

It's said that wild boars with piglets are more aggressive, and will even increase their fighting power to protect their young, daring to fight black bears to the death. As the wild boar drew closer, Jiang Yun Ning clearly felt the hand gripping her wrist tighten its hold.

The force was so strong that it hurt her a little.

The two of them had slowed their breathing, afraid of being discovered by the wild boar.

Another squeal rang out, and two more adult wild boars emerged from the woods.

At this moment, Jiang Yun Ning was already thinking about how to knock Jiang Che unconscious.

Just as she was about to make her move, the wild boar stopped in its tracks.
