Chapter 97 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury
The system's voice suddenly sounded.
"Host, you can see the shop interface by silently saying 'shop'. It will disappear when you silently say 'close'. Please explore the specific functions on your own."
Jiang He discovered that a transparent screen had appeared in front of her.
Jiang He changed direction and headed up the mountain.
"Dandelions can be traded for five coins. Shall we trade?"
Jiang He chose yes.
Purchases in the mall are made using points; one penny can be converted into one point.
The transaction method is also simple. As long as Jiang He opens the store and stares at a certain item, the name of the item will be automatically displayed on the interface, and then the transaction price will be given.
You can choose yes or no.
Once the transaction is successful, the item disappears. The corresponding currency is then added to your account.
This online store is a bit of a rogue.
Some wild vegetables grow on the ground and can be traded directly.
The wild vegetables were uprooted, and if it weren't for the small hole left in the ground, I would have thought I was seeing things.
In the time it takes to talk to someone, just by looking at them, you can trade even the clothes and jewelry they wear.
In broad daylight, Jiang He didn't want any ghosts, so she chose "no" for all of them.
This trading system is almost as bad as a bandit's.
Jiang He also tried some things from her spatial storage.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang He headed home.
Grandma Jiang was cooking, and the second wife was helping in the kitchen.
The kitchen is usually locked, and the food is locked in a cabinet inside the kitchen.
The mother ginger is not allowed to cook.
Even the eldest son's family members were not allowed to enter before Old Lady Jiang announced that dinner was served.
Of course, cleaning up the dishes and tidying up the kitchen after meals is the responsibility of the eldest son's family.
Jiang Mu also needs to boil water for everyone to bathe in.
Jiang Miao was chopping pig feed with a knife that was longer than her arm.
That knife requires two hands to hold.
No one else saw it.
Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Ertian, while Old Man Jiang was still busy in the field.
I guess Da Hu is in the kitchen.
When the second wife was cooking, she would always try to find a way to slip something into Da Hu's food, even a small piece of cucumber was a great treat.
Grandma Jiang doted on her grandson and let the second wife do as she pleased.
She was willing to give up her grandson.
She was wary of those two young girls.
Jiang Lian's room door was tightly closed, and her wet clothes were thrown by the well. She was probably hiding under the covers after taking a hot bath.
Jiang He placed the basket of wild vegetables at the kitchen door and left before Old Lady Jiang could shoo her away.
He walked over to Jiang Miao's side.
"I'll cut the pig feed."
Jiang He took the knife and began cutting pig feed.
Jiang Miao put the chopped pig feed into the bucket.
When Grandma Jiang saw Jiang He return so late, she wanted to scold the lazy girl for being so lazy and staying out so late.
Seeing a basket full of wild vegetables, I held it back.
Today's harvest was pretty good.
She wanted to scold Jiang He for thinking about resting as soon as she got back, not seeing that everyone was busy and not doing any work. She wanted Jiang He to wash Jiang Lian's clothes, but then she saw Jiang He cutting pig feed.
Pig feed is also important; the pigs are waiting to eat it.
We can't let the pigs go hungry.
Grandma Jiang swallowed back what she was saying.
Grandma Jiang was very uncomfortable because she had to swallow both of her words.
I took some wild vegetables into the kitchen, and when I saw the second brother's stir-fried dishes, I secretly put a bite in my mouth.
He suddenly became furious.
My grandson ate two, fine, but she even stole some.
When have I ever neglected her food? Why is she so greedy?
Old Mrs. Jiang shouted, "Second son's wife, you're still stealing food? Has your mouth gone mad from hunger?"
The second wife was startled by the shout.
The spatula in my hand fell to the ground.
Wait a minute, shouldn't Grandma Jiang give that brat Jiang He a good scolding first?
She knew that Grandma Jiang would always scold her, so she seized the opportunity to sneak a little food.
This has happened every time before, so how did I get caught this time?
Grandma Jiang rushed over and picked up the spatula from the ground.
There were still two pieces of vegetable leaves stuck to the spatula.
It got dusty because it fell on the ground.
Grandma Jiang took two vegetable leaves off the spatula and stuffed them into her second son's mouth.
"I'll let you eat, I'll let you sneak a bite."
How much did you sneak food from when I wasn't looking?
Second son's family, I never expected you to do something like this.
If I hadn't seen it today, I don't know how much more you would have stolen. This house would have been completely robbed sooner or later.
Tell me, did you steal any eggs? I clearly felt the chicken's rear end, and it was bulging there, but you're saying there haven't been any eggs for the past two days. Did you steal them?
I shouldn't have trusted you and let you pick up the eggs.
You bastard, you stole all the eggs!
"Tell me, how many did you steal? Did you bring them back? You traitorous wretch!"
The second wife didn't expect that Old Lady Jiang would immediately think of the eggs.
She did indeed steal the eggs twice.
They haven't been laying eggs much these past few days.
She figured that losing one or two wouldn't be a big deal.
These past few days, there have been no eggs. Grandma Jiang only boiled one egg for Jiang Lian, and Da Hu hasn't had any eggs to eat.
Even when they say there are no more eggs, Jiang Lianlei always has one left.
She just saw it all.
Jiang Lian was put into the water, and Grandma Jiang also cooked ginger soup with poached eggs.
Why does Jiang Lian get to eat two eggs a day while Da Hu doesn't get a single one?
The eggs she stole were meant for Da Hu.
Grandma Jiang knew from the second son's family's reaction that she had really stolen the eggs.
He grabbed her hair and slapped her twice.
"Where are the eggs? Take the eggs out."
“I ate it, I already ate it. Mom, I was wrong, I was wrong, I only took the eggs twice.”
I noticed that Da Hu hasn't been eating eggs lately and has gotten thinner, so I thought I'd give him some extra nutrition.
"When have I ever mistreated Da Hu? I'm Da Hu's grandmother, would I let him go hungry? Why would you steal eggs to feed him?"
"Mother, I was wrong. I was just momentarily blinded by greed and did something wrong. I will never do it again."
Jiang Miao listened to the noise coming from the kitchen and looked at Jiang He.
"Sister, Grandma is scolding Second Aunt. Second Aunt stole eggs."
Jiang Miao whispered in Jiang He's ear.
“I heard it, but it has nothing to do with us. We’ll just chop pig feed and feed the pigs, and pretend we don’t know anything.”
"Yes, Grandma is angry. She's going to scold us later, saying we're going to starve the pigs to death."
Jiang Miao could already imagine what her grandmother would scold her later.
After Jiang He and Jiang Miao finished chopping pig feed, they ignored the argument in the kitchen and hurried to the backyard to feed the pigs.
When Da Hu saw his grandmother hitting his mother, he thought it was a game and clapped and laughed.
His grandmother used to only play games with his older sister and her friends, never with him.
It's fun, it's fun, it's really fun.
Da Hu jumped off the chair, ran to Grandma Jiang's side, and slapped her legs repeatedly.
While playing, they kept shouting that it was fun and that Big Tiger wanted to play too.
Grandma Jiang saw that Da Hu's chin was still dripping with green juice, and everything on his hands was wiped all over her trousers.
That little brat actually hit her.
They truly are of one mind, mother and son.
Grandma Jiang was so angry that her head was spinning.
