Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 312: Eighteen Bends on the Mountain Road (17)

Jiang Qiuchen shuddered. She was really scared now. Time was running out and she didn't have much information.

Although her recent behavior has confused many people and gained her some minimal freedom, she is still a long way from escaping from this hellhole.

"Little kids are troublesome to begin with, and it's even more troublesome when they're sick. Sister Shanshan, you've been really hard-working lately."

"I see that you don't look very well. You should have a good rest when you go back home tonight."

He Shanshan has been working like a slave at home for so long, and everyone takes it for granted. No one thinks she is working too hard.

When she suddenly heard these words, her nose felt sore, her eyes turned red, and she almost cried.

After realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, put on a forced smile, and spoke with a sob.

"Thank you...thank you, Erya, but I have a lot of things to do at home, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to rest."

Looking at He Shanshan's slightly red eyes, Jiang Qiuchen also felt uncomfortable.

"Sister Shanshan, what happened to you?"

"If you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me. You can't keep things in your stomach. It's not good to hold it in for too long."

"Well, to be honest, I just came from outside a while ago. I'm unfamiliar with this place. There's not even anyone I can talk to. It's really boring."

He Shanshan actually knew Jiang Qiuchen. When she was first brought here that night, He Shanshan hid in the kitchen and secretly looked at her through the gap in the window.

She thought the little girl would make a fuss and say she wanted to go home, just like they did before.

But to her surprise, Jiang Qiuchen was extremely obedient and honest. Not only did he not lose his temper, he was even willing to take the initiative to work in the fields.

He Shanshan was also a little confused. Could there really be someone who was sold to this hellhole and was able to not feel resentment or panic?
But it must be said that Jiang Qiuchen's tactfulness saved him a lot of physical pain. Besides, Dong Dajun was a fool and easier to fool than ordinary men.

He Shanshan had complicated feelings towards Jiang Qiuchen. On the one hand, she sympathized with her for having the same experience as herself, but on the other hand, she felt secretly relieved that someone was suffering the same hardships as herself. There was also a little envy mixed in with it, envying that she could stay here in peace.

So when Jiang Qiuchen took the initiative to talk to her for the first time, He Shanshan subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But in fact, she was just like what Jiang Qiuchen said, because she was a purchased daughter-in-law and didn't know anyone in the village at all.

Every day I just work hard and there is really no one to talk to.

He Shanshan's husband is a man with a bad temper. In the first two years, he didn't allow her to go out at all. It was only in the past two years after she gave birth to a child and she behaved much more obediently that he allowed her to go out to work.

"Well, everyone is like that. I don't have anyone I can talk to in the village."

"Er Ya, I see you are not that old, why are you here? When I was working outside, I was accidentally..."

He Shanshan stopped talking halfway, but both of them knew the implication of her words.

Jiang Qiuchen nodded helplessly and moved closer while picking potatoes.

"Yes, I came out to explore the world at a young age. I have little experience, so I got into trouble."

It seems that the other party was really abducted just like himself.

"Me too, but you seem to have adapted pretty quickly?"

Faced with this question, Jiang Qiuchen naturally couldn't tell the truth from his heart, so he just spoke casually.

"Oh, what else can I do? I have to look forward, right?"

"Besides, Sister Shanshan, at least you have a real name, unlike me, who is called Erya." "My hometown is also very poor, not much better than here. Coming here is not much different from going home."

"I thought, if I work hard, I can have a full meal no matter what."

Jiang Qiuchen had a simple and naive look on his face, as if he had already accepted his fate, and there was no trace of resentment or dissatisfaction on his face.

He Shanshan finally dispelled some of her doubts. It turned out that the other party's family was also so poor. No wonder there was no gap and his ability to adapt was so strong.

"So this is ah……"

"I originally went to school in the city, and it was really hard to adapt here."

"You are right. People always have to look forward."

He Shanshan actually doesn't want to look forward. If possible, she would rather be trapped forever in the best day in her memory.

It's just a pity that as time goes by, her memory becomes more and more blurred.

As she was talking, He Shanshan began to daydream again. This had happened more than once or twice. She was always like this on a daily basis.

Sometimes, she even felt that her soul could leave her body, break away from this dirty body, and follow the wind back to the place where she belonged.

Jiang Qiuchen looked at the dazed He Shanshan and felt a little anxious. After chatting for a long time, he had to turn the topic to something useful.

"By the way, Sister Shanshan, where do you live? Is it at the head or tail of the village?"

"In my opinion, it is more convenient to live at the end of the village. A few days ago, my mother-in-law and I went to fetch water. It was just on the mountain behind us, but I still felt it was far away."

"I can't imagine how tiring it would be to carry a bucket of water if I lived at the village entrance."

Jiang Qiuchen seemed to bring up this topic unintentionally, using his own personal experience as an introduction, trying to find out He Shanshan's specific location in the village and the situation around it.

He Shanshan did not disappoint her and immediately continued to talk about the matter.

"Well, you are already lucky. I live at the entrance of the village, and it is very troublesome to fetch water every time."

"Although we have built a water tank at home to collect rainwater, it rains less often in our area and is sunny more often."

"If you want to use water on a daily basis, you usually have to go and fetch it yourself, and it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth."

"Hey, I heard that your mother-in-law accidentally fell down while fetching water. She should be fine now, right?"

Jiang Qiuchen picked the dirt from between his fingernails and said with a smile.

"When he fell, someone happened to be nearby and immediately helped him back home. I called someone to come and check it out, and it was nothing serious."

"It's because my mother-in-law fell down. I've been working in the fields alone lately."

"By the way, I see that the houses at the entrance of our village are newer. Are the people living there richer? I also saw a car parked in front of someone's house. That's great."

"It's just that now I feel like throwing up whenever I see a car. It almost killed me when it came that day."

Jiang Qiuchen patted his chest, looking tired.

"We are all from the same village, how rich can we get?"

"The family you mentioned that has a car should be my family. That broken car is used to transport goods."

Unexpectedly, the car belonged to He Shanshan. Jiang Qiuchen immediately perked up.
