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

"That's none of your concern. You should think about how to pay back the money quickly. Otherwise, if I ever find myself starving, I'll just take the IOU to the county magistrate." Jiang Yun Ning deliberately threatened her, "Get your whole family there as soon as possible."

Granny Yang's eyes flickered, and although she was afraid, she still maintained a tough demeanor.

"Hmph." She raised her chin, turned around and ran away.

"Yun Ning, what if the harvest is small and the winter is hard to get through?" The village head said with some worry on his face.

Jiang Youfu, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up: "Third brother, I've warned you before. If you can't get enough to eat, don't come to my house to borrow grain."

With that, he quickly grabbed Jiang Mancang and ran away.

Jiang Yun Ning ignored the two men and explained to the village head, "Uncle, I know you may not believe me now, but come back in half a month and you'll see that my seedlings are definitely growing stronger than others'."

The three of them each carried a large bundle of thinned seedling stubble home, and Jiang Yun Ning secretly moved some more into her spatial storage when the two weren't looking.

"Dad, let's plant it near the pigsty. It'll be convenient to fertilize it then," Jiang Yun Ning said.

Jiang Laosan nodded: "Alright. I'll do as my daughter says."

Jiang Laosan and Jiang Che dug holes to plant seedlings, while Jiang Yunning secretly added spiritual spring water to the water tank.

With the spring water, there's no need to worry about the corn seedlings not surviving.

After a busy day, the weather turned gloomy after lunch, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.

"Alright, just stay home obediently." Jiang Yun Ning went back to her room, lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a nap, and took the opportunity to sneak into her space to plant the corn seedlings.

The rain stopped, and Jiang Yunning came out of the house: "Mom, let's have dinner early tonight. I want to go to the woods for a bit later."

After the rains this season, cicada nymphs should come out.

However, she couldn't find any related memories in the original owner's memory.

Wang Cuihua nodded and went straight into the kitchen to prepare a meal.

After dinner, the two set off.

There were many people enjoying the cool air at the village entrance, and they started joking around when they saw the two of them.

"Yun Ning, when are you and Jiang Che going to have your wedding banquet?" Aunt Hua shouted from afar, her voice so loud that everyone present could hear her.

Jiang Yun Ning didn't think anything of it; she adapted to situations very quickly.

She waved her hand dismissively: "Hey, whether we have a banquet or not, we're already a couple, right Jiang Che?"

She deliberately threw the question at Jiang Che, and although the smile in her eyes was not malicious, it still made Jiang Che's face burn.

"Mm." Jiang Che nodded.

Jiang Yun Ning chuckled and nudged his shoulder: "Hey, you're such a big man, why do your earlobes turn red so easily? You're making me look like a bully harassing an innocent girl."

Jiang Che frowned and glared at her angrily: "I'm not a woman."

Jiang Yun Ning laughed even harder: "But you're prettier than any woman. There's no woman in our village as pretty as you."

Jiang Che gritted his teeth, wanting to hit someone but unable to actually do so, so he could only speed up and leave Jiang Yun Ning behind.

The woods were muddy after the rain, and Jiang Yun Ning clung tightly to Jiang Che's arm, afraid of slipping and falling.

But this movement made Jiang Che's body stiffen.

Despite being extremely careful, Jiang Yun Ning still slipped.

"Be careful." Jiang Che quickly caught her.

Jiang Yun Ning instinctively gripped Jiang Che, who was closest to her, so tightly that she tore Jiang Che's clothes open.

Abs!

Jiang Yun Ning's eyes lit up.

Jiang Che actually has abs! Just like in my dream.

She blinked and poked his waist a few times with her finger.

It's rock hard.

"What are you doing!" Jiang Che frowned and took a few steps back, hurriedly straightening his clothes.

Jiang Yun Ning smiled; "Sorry, I've never seen abs before. I'm just a little curious."

A hint of disgust flashed in Jiang Che's eyes.

As expected, Jiang Yun Ning is a shallow and lustful woman.

But the image of Jiang Yuning buying him wound medicine kept replaying in his mind. And the first time they met, Jiang Yuning gently asked him, "Did it hurt?"

Jiang Che's face was cold. He really couldn't understand how a person's personality could be so changeable.

Which side is the real Jiang Yun Ning?

He was still angry that he had been taken advantage of, but Jiang Yun Ning had already run a few meters away: "Jiang Che, look!"

An excited tone and a bright smile interrupted Jiang Che's thoughts.

"What?" He walked over and looked at the insect in Jiang Yun Ning's hand. "What do you want this for?"

Why are you making such a fuss? Haven't you ever seen an insect before?

Jiang Yun Ning rolled her eyes at him: "Eat."

As she spoke, she casually opened the lid of the basket behind Jiang Che and threw it inside.

"You can't eat this." Jiang Che looked at Jiang Yun Ning as if she were an idiot.

Jiang Yun Ning shook her head, then picked up another one and tossed it in: "You don't understand food. Want to make a bet?"

Her eyes were bright, and Jiang Che was momentarily stunned.

"What are we betting on?" he asked.

Jiang Yun Ning thought for a moment: "If you don't like it after I make it, I'll grant you one request. If it's delicious... you have to wash my clothes for a month! How about that?"

Jiang Che lowered his eyes slightly and quickly nodded: "Okay."

The two stopped fighting when they found the place in the woods too dark to see clearly.

Fortunately, no one ate cicada nymphs in this dynasty, so the basket was easily filled to more than half full.

Jiang Yun Ning led Jiang Che back along another route, hoping to find something useful.

Sure enough, halfway there, Jiang Yun Ning saw a few chili peppers, small and red, just like the bird's eye chilies from her village when she was a child.

"Hurry, Jiang Che, dig it home." She rolled up her sleeves and started digging.

Jiang Che was puzzled. He remembered that this thing was inedible; even licking it would cause great pain to his lips and tongue.

But seeing Jiang Yun Ning's excitement, he didn't refute it.

So the two of them each carried a chili pepper home.

Wang Cuihua was waiting in the courtyard. When she saw the two return, she went up to them and said, "You're back so late. I was just about to call your father to go out and look for you."

Jiang Yunning chuckled, "Mom, we found lots of good things."

Wang Cuihua poured a basin of water: "Hurry up and wash your hands, they're filthy."

As he spoke, he lifted the basket that Jiang Che had just put down.

"Ah!" Wang Cuihua was startled and almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong, old woman!"

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"mother!"

The scream woke everyone in the room.

"Why...why are there so many bugs?" Wang Cuihua pointed at the basket on her back, her eyes still showing some fear.

Jiang Yun Ning blinked: "Mom, this is edible."

"Nonsense." Jiang Yuntian looked at what was inside: "No one in my family has ever heard of this stuff being edible."

Jiang Anhe reached out and picked one up, but when she saw its dark eyes, she was so frightened that she dropped it with a cry and hugged Liu Yuzhi's leg, crying.

Jiang Yun Ning was somewhat helpless. She was in no mood to think about why her family was so afraid of cicada nymphs.
