Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 15 Doubt
Seeing her hesitation, Jiang Chuyue had a vague guess, "Aunt Zhang, what happened to my second aunt's family?"
Aunt Zhang's eyes widened when she heard the key point. Seeing that Jiang Chuyue had also heard about it, she spoke without hesitation, "It seems that you have heard about it too?"
"I know something." Since He Hua was in trouble, there was no need to think too much to know that it must have been Zhang San and the others who took action.
Listening to the two people's charades, Xiao Yihao couldn't help but be curious, "What happened?"
Aunt Zhang almost blurted it out, and after receiving Jiang Chuyue's eye signal, she sent away the children who had eaten their fill, and then talked about the focus of the topic in Wanshan Village in the past two days.
"There's been a lot of commotion at your second uncle's house lately." Aunt Zhang lowered her voice, fearing that someone might overhear her. "A few days ago, a man climbed through your second aunt's window and was seen by Aunt Li and Aunt Wang. You don't even know how ugly your second uncle's face was when he heard about it."
As she spoke, Aunt Zhang made several "tsk tsk" sounds, which was quite meaningful.
Xiao Yihao had not expected such a thing to happen. He could not help but think of He Hua's previous attempt to slander Jiang Chuyue and Zhang San. He suddenly thought, "Is it Zhang San?"
However, when he said this casually, Aunt Zhang was surprised. She thought Xiao Yihao had heard it from someone else, "It's really Zhang San. Speaking of which, He Hua wanted to frame Jiang Meizi before, but she didn't expect that she and Zhang San were having an affair."
Hearing that she was involved, Jiang Chuyue quickly responded, "I was wondering why Second Aunt insisted on saying that I had a relationship with Zhang San. It turns out that she is just guilty!"
Jiang Chuyue had explained the matter clearly in just a few words. She was so excited that she didn't notice Xiao Yihao's deep eyes on the side.
After finally sending Aunt Zhang and her family away, Jiang Chuyue, who was wondering when she could see Zhang San again, couldn't help but have a headache: now that rumors about Zhang San and He Hua were out, she and Zhang San naturally couldn't be seen by other people when they met again, otherwise wouldn't all her efforts in circles be in vain?
After much thought, Jiang Chuyue decided to find a suitable opportunity to go up the mountain again in the next two days to avoid being discovered by Zhang San when he came to look for her. Moreover, the herbs at home had to be sent to Samadhi as soon as possible. Although she still had some money on hand, it was far from enough if she wanted to move to the county.
There are too many places to spend money at home. Xiao Yihao's legs are still short of some medicine. Jiang Chuyue plans to ask Manager Wei to help keep an eye on them. Xiao Shuangshuang and Xiao Feng still need to take good care of their bodies. Sending them to school in the future will also be a considerable expense.
All in all, Jiang Chuyue didn't want to stay at home any longer. If it weren't for the heavy rain, she would have gone up the mountain right now.
"Does this matter have anything to do with you?" Jiang Chuyue, who was immersed in her own world, suddenly heard this voice and was so scared that she trembled.
Turning her head, she met a pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything. Jiang Chuyue knew that Xiao Yihao was suspicious of her.
"What's the matter?" Since Xiao Yihao had no evidence anyway, Jiang Chuyue simply pretended to be stupid.
"Does the matter between Second Aunt He Hua and Zhang San really have nothing to do with you?" Xiao Yihao asked bluntly, and Jiang Chuyue's smiling face also darkened.
She didn't plan to let more people know about this. "Why do you suspect me? Do you think I can instigate someone between Second Aunt and Zhang Sanzhong? Or do you think I was the one who leaked the news?"
With a sneer, Jiang Chuyue continued, "I don't have such a great ability."
Facing Xiao Yihao's suspicious look, Jiang Chuyue said frankly, "As my husband, you didn't help me, and now you doubt me?"
With just a few words, he not only dispelled Xiao Yihao's suspicions, but also questioned Xiao Yihao in return.
Xiao Yihao frowned and said nothing. He stared at Jiang Chuyue with his dark eyes for a long time. Seeing that she didn't feel guilty at all, he couldn't help but wonder if he was really overthinking it.
"I'm not doubting you." After a long stalemate, Xiao Yihao opened his mouth to explain, "It's just that this matter is too strange. She just questioned your relationship with Zhang San, and then the news came out that Zhang San and she have a special relationship. I'm afraid I'm not the only one who thinks there's a problem."
This is both an explanation and a reminder. The timing of this incident is too coincidental. Once someone senses something is wrong, they will naturally suspect Jiang Chuyue.
Jiang Chuyue was not worried at all about this. The village women never delved into the gossip. They only cared about whether the matter was bloody or exciting enough. As for whether it was true or false, it was not important at all.
What's more, at the dinner table, she also took the initiative to give Aunt Zhang a reasonable explanation: He Hua suspected that Jiang Chuyue had a relationship with Zhang San because she was guilty.
Jiang Chuyue remembered clearly that Aunt Zhang had a very good relationship with Aunt Wang and Aunt Li, who were considered to be the intelligence agency at the entrance of the village. With Aunt Zhang's help, Jiang Chuyue didn't have to worry at all.
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Xiao Yihao didn't know whether she believed it or not. Jiang Chuyue didn't want to delve into it. Her first priority was to heal Xiao Yihao's leg and take good care of the two children.
These are the two most critical points in the plot. If she could avoid repeating the mistakes of the original owner, Xiao Yihao would not have turned evil.
Jiang Chuyue had made a plan in secret. The next day, at daybreak, when the rain was not heavy, he carried a backpack, put on a straw raincoat, and headed for the county in deep and shallow water.
He went straight to Samadhi and sold all the herbs he had collected to Manager Wei. When receiving the copper coins, Jiang Chuyue counted out another hundred copper coins.
"Shopkeeper Wei, there's something I need you to keep an eye on for me." Jiang Chuyue handed a folded note to Shopkeeper Wei.
Shopkeeper Wei took it and unfolded it. The names of the herbs on the note were familiar to him. He looked down at Jiang Chuyue and guessed her intention. "Do you want to buy these herbs?"
"Yes." Jiang Chuyue originally wanted to look for them in the mountains, but after walking around the mountain for several times, she didn't see these herbs. However, Xiao Yihao's legs couldn't wait that long.
That's why I decided to go to Shopkeeper Wei. "I know these herbs are hard to find, so I'd like to ask Shopkeeper Wei to keep an eye out for me. If you can help me find them, I can trade all the herbs I collect with Shopkeeper Wei in the future."
How could Jiang Chuyue not see the hesitation on Shopkeeper Wei's face? With the epidemic rampant now, medicinal materials are already precious, not to mention that the medicinal materials that Jiang Chuyue wanted were not easy to obtain.
"I will pay for these medicinal herbs according to their due price, not a penny less." After Jiang Chuyue said this, Shopkeeper Wei, who was still a little hesitant, finally agreed.
