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

Chapter 30 Driven Mad by Poverty

The next morning, Jiang Yun Ning took Jiang Che under the pretext of going to the woods, but after leaving the village, they headed straight for the deep mountains.

Jiang Yuning held a machete in her hand, clearing away the weeds as she walked.

Jiang Che carried a bow in his hand, and the two walked carefully.

"Jiang Che," Jiang Yun Ning asked as they walked, "Have you been thinking about things from the past lately?"

Jiang Che shook his head.

"no."

Jiang Yun Ning found it strange. He had been drinking the spiritual spring water for so long and still hadn't remembered anything? Could it be that Jiang Che's amnesia wasn't just due to his injury?

Jiang Yun Ning didn't pay much attention and just continued walking forward.

Because they had sneaked out and needed to go home in the afternoon, the two only took a short walk around the outskirts.

"Jiang Che! Rabbit." Jiang Yun Ning noticed a movement in the bushes ahead, and a rabbit darted out.

Jiang Che nocked an arrow and drew his bow; in a flash, the rabbit stopped moving.

Jiang Yun Ning's face lit up with joy, and she excitedly patted Jiang Che's arm: "You're great!"

He ran forward in a few steps, and saw that the rabbit still had half a leaf in its mouth.

Jiang Yun Ning's eyes flashed, and she immediately squatted down.

Aren't these sweet potato leaves? Are there sweet potatoes around here? High-yield, filling sweet potatoes that can also be used to make vermicelli!

It seems that God has not treated her unfairly.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Che asked, looking around anxiously when he saw her stop, as if worried that there might be some danger nearby.

Jiang Yun Ning looked up, holding a leaf that had been gnawed beyond recognition by a rabbit: "Jiang Che! I'm rich!"

Get rich?

Jiang Che frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong with her this time.

Jiang Yun Ning ignored his expression, stood up on her own, and scanned the direction from which the rabbit had run inch by inch with her bright eyes.

The deeper we went, the more we went.

Jiang Che had already taken the wood-chopping knife from her hand and stayed by his side, guarding him closely.

He had heard Jiang Laosan say that there were many large and ferocious beasts in these deep mountains.

A few days ago, several hunters went in together, but none of them came out alive.

Jiang Yun Ning was completely unaware of what was happening. After walking for more than ten meters, she finally saw a patch of lush green sweet potatoes.

She was so excited she wanted to shout, but she was afraid of disturbing the animals in the mountains.

Suppressing her excitement, she grabbed Jiang Che's arm and ran over.

"Jiang Che, dig quickly." Jiang Yun Ning continued digging without stopping. "Dig it all back."

Jiang Che didn't understand, but his greatest strength was that he was a man of few words.

The two quickly dug up the small area completely.

The sweet potatoes were almost fully grown; even the smallest were about the size of a palm. Jiang Yun Ning simply picked one up, wiped it a few times, and then broke it open.

"White heart." Her eyes lit up.

White-fleshed noodles aren't as sweet as red-fleshed ones, but they're better suited for making glass noodles. The resulting noodles are more translucent and chewy.

"Do you want some?" Jiang Yun Ning took a bite; the sweetness was alright.

Jiang Che shook his head.

"You're not hungry enough." Jiang Yun Ning was somewhat speechless. "If you starved yourself for a few days, you wouldn't care about these things."

Jiang Che was about to retaliate, but then felt it was unnecessary.

How did he become like Jiang Yun Ning? Always wanting to win or lose?

But one has to admit that Jiang Yun Ning, who doesn't compromise herself, is truly vibrant.

"Let's go back." Jiang Che carried a full basket of sweet potatoes on his back.

Jiang Yunning nodded and then covered it with the vines as well.

When Jiang Yuning got home, it was already afternoon. He selected a few sweet potatoes of suitable size, burying half of them in the soil and leaving the other half exposed.

They poured a lot of spiritual spring water on it, and finally covered it with a cloth.

By this time, her hands were covered in dark mud mixed with water, sticking to them.

"Wasn't it just dug out?" Jiang Che asked, confused.

"Raising seedlings?" Jiang Yun Ning turned her head, her face still bearing two dark mud marks that she didn't know when she had gotten them. "Once they sprout, you can cut them into small pieces with the sprouts still attached."

With the addition of those secretly planted in the space, we'll soon be able to plant sweet potatoes on all two acres of land at home.

She was determined to open a vermicelli factory and lead the entire village to become factory managers.

Jiang Che seemed to understand, but not quite.

I have never seen anything like this before.

That evening, a long line of people came to deliver cicada nymphs, and this time, Jiang Yun Ning actually saw Song Ming Zhen among the people in line.

Jiang Yun Ning glanced at it and laughed: "I don't want any of these from your house."

"Jiang Yunning!" Song Mingzhen put her hands on her hips: "You're targeting me!"

Jiang Yun Ning was speechless. He took the basket from her hand and dumped it on the ground.

When everyone looked, they saw that the cicada nymphs were covered in mud. Each one had a clump of mud the size of a baby's fist on it.

"Oh, Mingzhen, did you dig this up from the ground?" Aunt Li mocked without hesitation. "Are you selling cicada nymphs or dirt?"

The aunt standing nearby laughed too: "Haha, trying to sell dirt for thirteen coins a pound? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Yunning smiled.

She didn't even need to say a word; Song Mingzhen's little scheme would be exposed.

"This...this happened because of the rain, and I didn't have time to wash it, did I?" she stammered, her eyes darting around.

Jiang Yun Ning sneered: "You should take it back. I don't want it."

Song Mingzhen was furious. Jiang Yunning had never dared to speak to her like this before. He always humbled himself, afraid that she would get angry and complain to him when she got home.

But now, when Jiang Yuning runs into her in the village, he doesn't even give her a glance. He even publicly refuses to accept her cicada nymphs.

"Jiang Yunning, you'd better accept it." Song Mingzhen said proudly, "Otherwise, you'd better watch out, I'll go back and tell my brother. You can forget about marrying into our family again."

My elder brother said that Jiang Yun Ning is just throwing a tantrum. Otherwise, why would she delay getting married? She just wants my elder brother to lower his head and coax her again.

Jiang Yun Ning was speechless. It seemed that the bucket of pig manure hadn't woken Song Ming Lang up last time.

"Thank you, but please tell your brother to avoid me from now on. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be disgusted by his ugliness."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Mingzhen stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "My older brother is known for his handsome looks in the surrounding villages."

Jiang Yun Ning rolled her eyes and called out to Jiang Che, who had just finished feeding the pigs, "Jiang Che!"

Jiang Che put down the wooden bucket he was holding and walked over.

"Look." Jiang Yun Ning grabbed his arm affectionately. "Our Jiang Che is truly handsome. Look at that little face, that nose."

Jiang Che's face darkened.

That damn woman, she's using him as a shield again.

Song Mingzhen pursed her lips, about to retort. But when her gaze fell on Jiang Che's face, she froze.

She remembered Jiang Che not looking like this. Wasn't he so thin he looked like he was about to die? How could he have become so handsome in less than a month?

If she had known, she would have chosen Jiang Che to return.

But the next second he denied it.

Her parents wouldn't give her money to buy slaves.

Jiang Yuning didn't miss the look of surprise in Song Mingzhen's eyes, and she also noticed her unconscious swallowing motion.

Oh.

Good grief, she's even taken a liking to Jiang Che?
