Chapter 33 The magical effect of water power

So, he said decisively: "Ms. Jiang, let me tell you the truth. The Huang family announced their engagement yesterday."

"Are you with the Li family?" Jiang Wei asked.

"Hey, how do you know?"

Shopkeeper Zhou obviously didn't know about the relationship between Jiang's mother and daughter and the Li family, so he said to himself: "I don't know what the Li family thinks, how can they push their daughter into the fire pit?"

Jiang Wei's eyebrows relaxed. Things turned out as she expected. Now she wanted to see how the Li family suffered the consequences!
  Jiang Xiaoxiao was still a little confused. From shopkeeper Zhou's previous account, it was not difficult to guess that the hidden illness suffered by the young master of the Huang family was probably child abuse, but why was he suddenly willing to marry the eldest daughter of the Li family?
  She was still wondering, and shopkeeper Zhou started talking to himself again: "Hey, Miss Jiang, you may not know it yet, but the Huang family is in big trouble now!"

"Do you still remember the big brown horse that passed by the restaurant two days ago?" Shopkeeper Zhou pointed to the roadside outside and said in a low voice: "That's the county captain's horse!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

It turns out that the person they spread as a rumor is the newly appointed county captain...

"In the past, the Huang family did many evil things and abused many young girls. The county magistrate did not dare to do anything to his family because of the power behind it. But now the newly appointed county captain is a nobleman from the capital, and the power behind it cannot be underestimated. !" Shopkeeper Zhou continued, "Now the newly appointed county lieutenant is collecting evidence and wants to wipe out the Huang family!"

Jiang Xiaoxiao was silent. No wonder the Huang family was anxious to get a wife, no matter how old they were. It seemed that they wanted to take this opportunity to put this matter over.

Or maybe he feels that his family is going to die and wants to quickly find a woman to marry and leave a son and a half for the Huang family.

……

The mother and daughter left Yuelai Restaurant and walked straight towards the study.

Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at her mother with a sad face as she spent all the copper coins she earned today on books.

I bought a copy of "The Thousand-Character Classic" and a "Three-Character Classic", and the more than 200 pieces of literature I earned from selling ice cream today are all gone.

Gee, these ancient books are so expensive!

As expected, it is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. Raising a scholar will not deplete the wealth of an ordinary family.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wei took Jiang Xiaoxiao to a pork vendor and bought three kilograms of pork and two kilograms of pork bones. When he left, he saw roast chicken being sold at the stall next door. The alluring aroma penetrated his nostrils. I couldn't help but buy a roast chicken.

This time, more than 100 yuan was lost.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was calculating in her heart, and then heard her mother say that she really wanted to buy a carriage, so that she would not have to walk back and forth to the town in the future.

Jiang Xiaoxiao covered her face and reluctantly took her mother to ride the bullock cart.

How expensive was that carriage? The ox-cart only cost a penny per person, so it was cheap and safe. Even before they started selling ice cream, her mother was always thinking about spending money.

Back in the village, they met many peasant women going to the river to fetch water.

When several peasant women saw Jiang Wei, their eyes were glued to the basket on her back.

Unfortunately, the backpack was covered with a piece of coarse cloth, so you couldn't see what was inside.

Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at those people. Fortunately, her mother had the foresight to put the freezer and the meat she bought into the space in advance. There was actually nothing in the basket.

These chatty women in the village usually have nothing to do. They love to gossip behind their backs and even buy things in secret.

But think about it, these peasant women in the village have no knowledge and have not read many books. They have lived in a social atmosphere where men are superior to women since they were young. They have no idea that women can live independently and be strong without relying on anyone.

Furthermore, her mother was only in her early twenties and not bad looking, so it was understandable that rumors would spread among the villagers.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoxiao looked up at Jiang Wei.

You couldn't see it in Lao Li's house before, but now after the separation, they eat well, get more nutrition, and gradually gain weight. In addition, mother and daughter never forget to wipe their faces with face cream every night. Jiang Wei's face is so beautiful. It also becomes fairer and more delicate.

Although she is not extremely beautiful, her eyebrows are elegant and beautiful, which is very eye-catching.

The jealous eyes of those peasant women glanced at Jiang Wei again and again, as if they really couldn't see anything, and then they looked away and turned to other topics.

"Hey, have you heard? Today, a novelty called ice cream appeared in our Yong'an town!"

"I've heard about it a long time ago. When my family went to town to sell firewood, I took a look at it from a distance today. Many people were vying to buy it. I heard that the stuff was so delicious that it cost five cents each!"

"Oh, it's so expensive! That stuff is so delicious..."

……

The mother and daughter walked through the crowd and returned home.

After dinner at home, Jiang Wei started making ice cream and ice cream again, while Jiang Xiaoxiao watered the vegetable field in the yard.

I don’t know whether it’s because of the good quality of the rapeseed or because of his frequent watering. Jiang Xiaoxiao found that many rapeseeds in the field had sprouted.

After watering, but before the power was used up, Jiang Xiaoxiao went on to feed the chickens and sheep at home.

However, when she entered the sheep shed, she was surprised to find that the lame hind foot of the dairy goat seemed to be healed?
