The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine
Chapter 61: The Startled Horse Rescues People
The days passed as usual and the weather gradually became warmer.
Ping'an, Fugui and the other four kids have one day off every half a month, and Jiang Qingyi takes this opportunity to learn unfamiliar words from them.
Jiang Gui is the youngest, but he also learns the fastest. Jiang Qingyi learns the most from him.
The Jiang family can sell 30 to 100 kilograms of braised food every day. Anyway, they make a lot of money every day. Although the adults are busy, they smile more often.
That day, when Jiang Qingyi was about to go out to do a mission, Zhao came out of the room holding Xiaojie's hand and asked, "Xiaowu, are you going out?"
Jiang Qingyi nodded, "Well, something happened. I'll be back soon."
Zhao brought Xiaojie to Jiang Qingyi and said, "I'm tired now. You can take Xiaojie out as well."
Jiang Qingyi thought she had heard wrongly. Did Zhao really think it was okay for her to go out with a younger child alone?
Then he said, "Mom, I need to go out. It's not appropriate to take my brother with me. Let grandma help watch him for a while. I'll be back soon."
Zhao's expression changed instantly, "What can a girl like you do if you go out? Don't go! Just stay at home and look after Xiaojie."
Jiang Qingyi was completely speechless. Just as she was about to speak, Old Lady Jiang came out from the main room and said, "Old Third Wife, are you worried about leaving Xiaojie with me? Or what's the matter? Do you have to let Xiaowu, your own child, take care of younger children for you?"
Zhao couldn't bear to see Jiang Qingyi living such a comfortable life. She wanted her children to suffer the same hardships she had in her childhood.
But she was not so tough when facing the elder, Mrs. Jiang. Her tone softened, "Mom, that's not what I meant. I saw that you were busy, so I wanted Yiyi to look after Xiaojie first. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while."
Mrs. Jiang said directly, "Xiao Wu, go do your own thing, Xiao Jie, I'll just watch over you."
In the end, Zhao had no choice but to hand Xiaojie over to Old Lady Jiang, and Jiang Qingyi walked out without even looking at her.
Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhao and sighed imperceptibly. She had tried to persuade her, but this third daughter-in-law didn't change at all. Now she was even getting worse. She didn't know what to do. She just hoped that Xiaowu would not become estranged from the third brother's family.
After Jiang Qingyi left, the system suddenly popped up and asked a question, "Host, why do you insist on staying in the Jiang family with them? Now that your life span is longer than theirs, you can choose to take risks?"
[We are using the body of little Jiang Qingyi. We have to be filial to her elders on her behalf. When her grandparents and parents are gone, we will go and see this world.]
[Then we have to wait a long time...]
[Indeed, but life is pretty good these days. I just practice when there is nothing else to do.]
[If you have the opportunity to go to the Immortal Cultivation World, host, would you like to go and take a look? ]
Jiang Qingyi's voice was pleasantly surprised, [Is there such a good thing? I must go and have a look. I have never seen a true immortal in my life!]
【…】
The system thought that Jiang Qingyi was not interested in these things, but it didn't expect her to be so excited when she heard this. It was a mistake.
The task given by the system today is to go out and give five copper coins to each of the three beggars, which counts as three tasks.
Jiang Qingyi knew where there were more beggars in this area, so she quickly completed the task and received the reward.
Thinking of Zhao's face, Jiang Qingyi didn't want to go back. She turned directly and went to East Street. When she was in a bad mood, she would go shopping and feel better after a round of shopping.
No one followed her, and she moved much faster than usual, completing the journey that would have taken an hour in less than half an hour.
The East District is still as lively as before, with people coming and going on the streets, and the teahouses and pubs are also full of people.
Jiang Qingyi just wanders around and buys things when she sees something that interests her.
On the street, a little girl in goose yellow brocade clothes, followed by two maids, was watching a craftsman making sugar figures.
On the other side, a man riding an out-of-control horse rushed towards this direction.
He pulled the reins hard, but the horse was not so easy to control. The horse's neck was thrown back as if trying to throw the person off its back.
People on the street began to panic and hide, and the place became chaotic for a while.
"Ah, help!"
"Run, run!"
"Woo, woo, mother!"
"..."
The out-of-control horse was running very fast and rushed towards the candy man stall in just a few breaths.
The little girls turned around with panic on their faces, and stood there without moving at all, as if they were frightened.
"what!"
"Miss, run!"
Jiang Qingyi felt something was not good when she saw this. If the horse rushed over, the candy man stall owner and the girl would be seriously injured if not killed.
The little girl looked no more than ten years old, and Jiang Qingyi felt a little bit reluctant.
She rushed to the horse quickly, jumped lightly and grabbed the reins on one side.
Those who were hiding far away didn't dare to look, for fear that the little girl would be killed by the horse's hooves.
Jiang Qingyi was very strong, and the horse had no way to continue charging forward. It could only back away with all its might, trying to avoid Jiang Qingyi's grip.
After a while, the horse couldn't resist Jiang Qingyi anymore and could only snort in place to show its anger.
After the horse's emotions calmed down, Jiang Qingyi raised her hand and touched the horse's face.
The man on the horse then jumped down. He looked very messy, with his hair wet with sweat and sticking to his face. He touched his face randomly a few times and quickly came to thank Jiang Qingyi.
"I am Zheng Yongyi from the Anguo Mansion. Thank you for your help, young lady. What is your name?"
"Jiang Qingyi, your horse must have eaten something bad. Go back and check it out."
Zheng Yongyi's eyes shone when he heard that, and he thanked her again, "Yes, thank you, young lady. I understand. Today, thanks to your help. I have something urgent to do, so I'll take my leave now. I'll visit you later."
Jiang Qingyi waved her hand and let him leave.
Zheng Yongyi took a few steps forward and apologized to the frightened girl before leaving.
Sikong Yuwei, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, looked pale. Two maids helped her to Jiang Qingyi to express her gratitude.
She grabbed Jiang Qingyi's hand tightly and said, "I am Sikong Yuwei. Thank you. I almost..."
Jiang Qingyi was not used to being touched by strangers, so she quietly extended her hand. "You're welcome. I just don't want to see the frightened horse hurting people everywhere. I'm afraid you've been frightened, so you'd better go back earlier."
Sikong Yuwei did not ask Jiang Qingyi's name because she had already heard it. She decided to prepare a gift to express her gratitude after returning.
After what happened, Jiang Qingyi no longer had the heart to continue shopping. She rushed to the pharmacy to buy some spices and then went home.
Jiang Qingyi did not tell her family about what happened outside. She felt there was nothing to say and telling them would only make Old Lady Jiang worry.
As for Zhao, she probably doesn't have time to care about these things.
