I was killed by domestic violence, and I went crazy with barrage

Chapter 181 Yellow-skinned Sour Plum Duck

"peaceful……"

Aunt Fang hesitated and wanted to persuade her again, but finally swallowed her words back.

She couldn't really say much more.

"...In the end, it's good that you know what's going on."

Aunt Fang smiled bitterly: "You have seen what kind of people in the village are like."

"Nothing good will come of getting entangled with bad people."

"They are just stinking stones in the toilet!"

"There's no need to sacrifice yourself for these lousy things!"

"I know you have your own ideas, but I hope you can always put your own safety first."

"You can talk about truth at any time, but only when people are alive, the truth they talk about is meaningful!"

"Don't get stuck in a rut and get entangled with things that are not worth it."

Aunt Fang spoke earnestly and patted Jiang An Ning's hand gently, showing some pity for her, but in the end she did not say what was in her heart.

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'm going back now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry without looking back.

It seemed as if he was afraid that if he stayed, Jiang Anning would question him.

Jiang Anning was a little confused.

I don’t know why Aunt Fang came to persuade her.

Is it just because the villagers have bad morals?
She always felt that this wasn't the only reason.

But I just can't figure it out for a while.

Maybe she should go to Jiang Xiu'e's house when she has time?
I always feel that the people in this village have some common little secrets.

Even though some people couldn't stand it, they tacitly kept it from her for the common good.

Jiang Anning took the chopped firewood, stirred the almost burning fire in the stove pit, and threw a few more pieces of chopped firewood into the stove.

With something to burn, the flames, which had originally dimmed, instantly became bright again.

She stared at the fire in the stove in a daze for a long time.

It was not until the rooster crowed three times and the sky gradually brightened that she threw the last piece of firewood in her hand into the stove pit and cleared away the broken twigs around it to prevent the fire from spreading.

She poured the hot water into the kettle, and added some more water to the pot and boiled it, so that when Sui Ran and the others came over, they would have hot water readily available.

He returned to the small bamboo building, packed up the tools used to prepare the corpse-dissolving powder, and locked them in the cabinet.

Jiang Anning went to look at the bird eggs in the main room again.

I had just gone to get some water to wash my face when Sui Ran and his wife came over with things.

"An Ning, you got up so early today."

Sui Ran greeted Jiang An Ning with a smile and handed her the fried radish meatballs he had made last night.

"I made it at home, so don't think it's crude. Just treat it as something new and fresh."

She lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, feeling that such things were too embarrassing to present.

Jiang Anning took it enthusiastically: "Thank you, sister-in-law Sui Ran, I was just thinking about eating this, now I can finally satisfy my craving!"

When Sui Ran heard this, he immediately relaxed and became less nervous.

"If you like, I'll do it for you every day!"

Jiang An Ning smiled and said, "How can that be possible? I would be embarrassed to trouble Sister Sui Ran like this."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Sui Ran waved his hands repeatedly: "You have helped me and Gui Cheng a lot, I just wish I could give you more in return, why would I find it troublesome?"

Jiang Anning was still thinking about saying something to politely decline.

Jiang Guicheng, who had carried the water, could not help but say to her, "Even if I want to repay you, I won't repay you like you do."

"Those carrot balls aren't that good. Even if they were, you can't bear to eat them like this every day."

"Even if it's delicacies from land and sea, if you eat the same thing every day, you'll get tired of it."

Sui Ran had a cold face, and the boss was unhappy: "You talk as if you have eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, and you are sick of them."

"I haven't eaten any delicacies from land or sea, but I haven't eaten pork. Haven't I seen a pig run?"

Jiang Guicheng was not convinced: "Most of the principles in this world are the same. Don't you feel sick of eating those rough noodles?"

"How can rough noodles be the same as delicacies from land and sea?"

Sui Ran snorted coldly: "If you have the ability to let me eat delicacies from land and sea, let alone eating them every day, even if I eat them eight hundred times a day, I won't get tired of it."

"When the time comes, you won't say that anymore."

Seeing that the couple was about to quarrel over this matter, Jiang Anning hurried to smooth things over: "I don't know if you two will get tired of eating delicacies from land and sea every day, but I do know that if you two don't start cooking, you will be late for the first batch of stalls to open."

"By then, I'm not sure if I'll get tired of eating all these delicacies, but I'm sure I'll miss this first chance to make money today."

After hearing what Jiang An Ning said, the couple immediately became anxious and didn't argue whether they would get tired of eating delicacies every day.

Not long after, Aunt Fang also came to help.

Maybe she didn't sleep well last night, she looked a little haggard.

There were dark circles under his eyes, and even Sui Ran was shocked when he saw it.

"Aunt Fang, where have you been? Why are your eyes so dark? Did you secretly go to dig coal last night?"

As she said this, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Obvious joke.

Aunt Fang glared at her and said, "Go away, you dare to tease me again."

She glanced at the stove and frowned slightly: "Why are you just starting to boil water and not doing anything else?"

"I got up really late today. I didn't sleep well last night."

"Aren't you guys up late too?"

Sui Ran touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly: "How can that be possible!"

She was embarrassed to say it because she had wasted her time arguing with Jiang Guicheng about whether one would get tired of eating too much delicacies from land and sea.

"Hurry up and get busy."

Aunt Fang also had something on her mind, so she no longer had the desire to joke with others like she usually did. She rolled up her sleeves and quickly prepared breakfast.

By the time the three of them had prepared breakfast, most people in the village had already gotten up.

"It seems like it's really late today."

Aunt Fang sighed: "I don't know if there will be a good place to stay if I go there now?"

Sui Ran couldn't help but become anxious.

Jiang Guicheng pushed the cart silently without saying anything, but he unconsciously quickened his pace.

Jiang An Ning watched the people walk away, and her mind began to think back to what Aunt Fang had said last night.

I was struggling over whether or not to rent a house in town to stay temporarily.

Of what Aunt Fang said yesterday, at least one thing was absolutely right.

These people in the village are like stinky stones in a toilet.

There was really no need for her to put herself in danger and confront others head-on.

Who knows what irreparable things they might do when they become sinister?

It is not wise to fight against a rock with an egg.

And judging from the character of the people in the village, if disaster really strikes, they might really drag her down with them.

Jiang Anning seemed to be thinking about something.

After more and more people started to smoke from cooking in the village, she went back to the kitchen, took the black fish that she had not finished eating yesterday but had chopped into small pieces and fried until crispy, and went to Jiang Xiu'e's house. Her intuition told her that if there was any secret in this village, Jiang Xiu'e must know it.

In fact, Jiang Xiu'e is not ashamed of this secret.

However, due to family ties, or clan ties, or some other reasons, she had to turn a blind eye to it.

But back then, Jiang Xiu'e was willing to lend a helping hand to her when she was almost dying on the roadside and sent her to Anjifang, which allowed her to luckily save her life.

I think there is still at least a trace of kindness in my heart.

Jiang Xiu'e was a little surprised when she saw the smiling little girl, who was still as innocent as she was back then, standing in front of her house.

"Why are you here?" She was even a little panicked.

Thinking of the many things that happened back then, I couldn't help but hold the winnowing basket tightly in my hand.

"I learned that it was you, Old Ancestor, who saved me. I have always been very grateful in my heart. Unfortunately, I was too busy during that time, so I didn't have time to come here. I would like to thank you sincerely."

Jiang Anning spoke beautifully, raised the fried black fish in her hand, and said with a smile: "I have the time and opportunity today, so I came here specially to honor you."

Jiang Xiu'e looked at the fried golden black fish, was slightly stunned, and then refused: "I am already an old person, how can I eat this, you young people should keep it and nourish your body."

"Who said that you don't need to replenish your body when you get older?"

Jiang Anning showed a little more of the delicate demeanor of a young girl: "It is because I am getting older that I need to nourish my body more."

"Or is it that the old man is just trying to make a point with me, because he doesn't like these crude things I brought."

Jiang Xiu'e subconsciously denied: "I don't look down on you."

"Then please accept it quickly, old man."

Jiang Anning once again handed the bowl of fried black fish in his hand towards the person.

Jiang Xiu'e hesitated for a while, looking at the overly pure smile and admiration on the person's face, she was too embarrassed to say anything to refuse.

Can……

She looked around with a little caution and forced a smile: "Okay."

Jiang Anning immediately climbed up the pole: "Won't the old man let me in and sit for a while?"

She looked like she was going to be sad if you don't invite me in to sit down.

Jiang Xiu'e looked around, then looked at the pitiful little person, and said helplessly: "Come in."

"okay."

Jiang Anning followed the people in happily, like a curious baby.

"Grandpa, your yard is really neat and tidy. It's much better than my messy yard."

"Grandfather, what is this? Fruit? It looks fresh, as if I have never seen it before."

"Grandfather~~~~"

Jiang Anning kept chattering beside the person, but it annoyed Jiang Xiu'e so much that her head started to hurt.

She looked at the yellow-peeled fruit tree that Jiang Anning was staring at eagerly, and said with amusement and helplessness: "That's a yellow-peeled fruit tree."

Jiang Xiu'e paused slightly, as if she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Anning with even more pity.

“What is a yellow-skinned fruit tree?”

Jiang Anning looked at the yellow-skinned fruit trees that obviously did not belong to their place, and her heart was slightly moved.

"A kind of fruit."

Jiang Xiu'e looked at her face which was too similar to the man back then, sighed, climbed over the wall, and picked a handful of kumquats for her.

"Try it? It doesn't have much flavor, it's ok to eat, but it's great to stew sour plum duck with it."

Jiang Anning held the kumquat fruit, looking a little helpless, as if he didn't know how to eat it.

"You can eat it directly or peel it and eat it. It's all fine."

"Oh oh oh."

Jiang Anning tasted one very obediently and gracefully.

It is indeed the taste deep in memory.

But in front of Jiang Xiu'e, she didn't show any sign of having eaten it before, her face was full of curiosity: "Indeed, it doesn't taste good."

"But it's new. I've never seen this thing before."

Jiang Xiu'e smiled lovingly: "If you like to eat them, pick some more for me later."

She looked down at the fried black fish in her hand, then looked at the frail Jiang An Ning, and couldn't help but feel pity for her: "Stay for lunch."

"Just in time for the edamame in the yard to come down, let's stew your black fish."

Jiang Anning was just worrying about having no reason to stay, but she didn't expect Jiang Xiu'e to take the initiative to ask her to stay for dinner.

"Then I will obey your command respectfully. Thank you, Grandpa~"

She looks so cute and lovely, which makes her even more pitiful.

Jiang Xiu'e sighed quietly, feeling lost.

Some things should be put to an end!
She is really tired after these years.

She looked back at the yellow-peeled fruit tree and said, "If you like, I'll make you yellow-peeled sour plum duck."

"Really?"

Jiang Anning looked expectant: "Then I'll go buy some groceries. It's not good for me to come to your house to thank you and ask you to spend money."

"Row."

Jiang Xiu'e was surprisingly calm and did not refuse.

"Then I'll go."

Jiang Anning couldn't help feeling a little puzzled, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

After leaving Jiang Xiu'e's house, Jiang Anning went straight to the town.

First, I went to where Aunt Fang and her friends were setting up their stall and told them that they didn’t have to wait for her for lunch.

Then I went to the market and bought a live duck and killed it on the spot.

I also bought some vegetables and braised donkey meat.

Thinking that Jiang Xiu'e was old and had bad teeth, and might not be able to eat the braised donkey meat, he went to the restaurant instead and ordered the candied pork elbow to be taken out.

The time waiting for the pork elbow was too boring, so Jiang Anning went for a walk on the street again and bought some soft and easy-to-melt pastries.

When I came, my hands were empty, but when I returned, my hands were full of bags, big and small.

She simply hired a carriage to go back.

"Grandpa, I'm back."

Jiang Anning jumped out of the car from a distance, calling out to people happily, like an innocent child.

Jiang Xiu'e came out of the house and saw people fluttering towards her like butterflies. There was a hint of helplessness and indulgence in her eyes.

I felt even more emotional in my heart.

It's hard for this child to be so heartless.

She is already old enough to get married, but she is still so... immature and frank.

"Why did you buy so much? There are only two of us. If we can't finish it, it will go bad."

Jiang Xiu'e kept muttering to herself as if she was talking to her own junior.

"You, kid, you don't know how to spend money carefully. You don't know how to earn a mountain of gold or silver. You don't know how to calculate it. In the future, you will be short of money and have no one to help you."

Jiang An Ning pursed his lips: "This is a thank-you gift prepared for the old ancestor, how can I be careless."

It sounds a bit aggrieved.

Jiang Xiu'e suddenly felt regretful. The child was kind-hearted, so why was she so strict with him?

No wonder she doesn't have any children or grandchildren...
