Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 25 Responsibility
Walking on the muddy ground and looking at the thick layer of mud on her feet, every step seemed heavy, and Jiang Chuyue's mood also became gloomy.
When she stepped onto the stone steps of her home, she stamped her feet hard to shake off the mud under her feet. Jiang Chuyue, whose whole heart was on her feet, said casually, "Shuangshuang, quickly help me get a pair of clean shoes."
"Hey." Jiang Chuyue heard a timid voice and realized something was wrong. She looked up and found three more people in the yard: Liu Cui, He Hua and her fat and strong son.
Jiang Chuyue's eyes swept across the three of them without stopping for a moment, and her attitude of not taking them seriously at all completely annoyed Liu Cui.
"Have you forgotten your grandmother after getting married?" Liu Cui spat in the direction of Jiang Chuyue. She knew that she would not achieve her goal by asking Jiang Chuyue, so she simply didn't bother to care about Jiang Chuyue and directed all her criticism towards Xiao Yihao.
Just because Liu Cui is the elder, she can suppress them severely.
Jiang Chuyue was ignored by Liu Cui and He Hua but she was not annoyed. She leaned against the door frame with her arms crossed. She wanted to hear what Liu Cui and the others were planning today.
Liu Cui and He Hua did not hide their purpose and quickly revealed it.
"The harvest this year was not good, and now our family can't even afford a bite of food. Your second uncle and I are really at our wits' end. We can get by with just a little hunger, but we can't let your grandma suffer with us, right?"
He Hua clearly wanted to pass Liu Cui to Xiao Yihao and Jiang Chuyue.
As long as Liu Cui could stay, given her preference for the second house, why would He Hua and Xiao Li have to worry about not having a bite to eat?
Their plan was clear as day, and they were just about to confront Jiang Chuyue and ask her to support their entire family.
Seeing that Xiao Yihao didn't react, Liu Cui glared at He Hua, and He Hua continued, "Good child, the world is not easy nowadays. If our family hadn't been struggling to make ends meet, your second uncle and I wouldn't have thought of sending your grandma over here."
He even used his status as an elder to morally blackmail her, "Although your parents passed away long ago, your grandmother is still your elder. Your parents failed to fulfill their responsibility of supporting you, so you should also shoulder this responsibility."
They never mentioned that when the family property was divided, they used the excuse of supporting Liu Cui to get better land and a new house.
He Hua even pointed at her son and lied with her eyes open, "Look at you, you're so thin now. It doesn't matter if our family lives a hard life, but your grandma can't live with us and have no food to eat, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chuyue almost suffocated. Seeing He Hua and Liu Cui looking at her, Jiang Chuyue covered her face with her hands to hide the sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I've caught a cold recently, so just ignore me."
Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was unusually obedient and had no objections, He Hua and Liu Cui couldn't help but feel a little hopeful, and they continued their efforts.
"You are living a happy life now. It would be bad if others thought you were only concerned about your own life and ignored your grandmother. We are doing this for your own sake, my good child."
Jiang Chuyue glanced at Xiao Yihao. She was very curious about how Xiao Yihao would solve the current trouble.
Although she disliked the shamelessness of He Hua and Liu Cui, it was obvious that they did not take her seriously at the moment and they were clearly seeking Xiao Yihao's opinion. Why should she take on this mess?
But she didn't expect that Xiao Yihao would throw the matter to her with just one sentence, "Second Aunt, it's not that I don't agree, it's just that now the family of four depends on Chu Yue alone. You all know that I am disabled. Now Chu Yue is the one who makes the decisions at home. If you have any questions, you still have to ask Chu Yue's opinion."
Suddenly, a huge pot was thrown at them. Jiang Chuyue stared at Xiao Yihao with her eyes wide open. The two of them exchanged glances so intensely that it seemed as if they were about to fight in the next second.
"Chu Yue, you are a good child. Grandma fell in love with you at first sight, so she arranged a marriage between you and Hao'er. Now it seems that you two are really a perfect match."
Perhaps it was because Jiang Chuyue had not objected just now, which gave Liu Cui and He Hua the feeling that Jiang Chuyue was easy to talk to.
Jiang Chuyue was forced to look away and look at Liu Cui who was holding her hand. She resisted the urge to shake her off and suppressed her displeasure and temper. "Grandma, look at what you are saying. You are my husband's elder, so you are also my elder. It is our duty to support you."
Liu Cui and He Hua obviously didn't expect Jiang Chuyue to be so easy to talk to, and their brows were filled with joy.
Before they could speak, Jiang Chuyue changed the subject, "It's just that you all know the current situation at home. My husband's leg has not healed yet, and he can't help much. We have two children at home. Many people in the village think that I must be very rich just because I have a small business. I don't know how many eyes are staring at me openly or secretly."
Jiang Chuyue had no intention of rejecting Liu Cui, but if Liu Cui wanted to stay, it would not be so easy for her to do so.
"Are you saying that you don't want me to stay?" Upon hearing something wrong in Jiang Chuyue's words, Liu Cui's face suddenly turned gloomy. Jiang Chuyue was amazed at how quickly her expression changed.
"Grandma, you are making a fuss. I just want to explain the situation at home to you truthfully, so that you don't have too high expectations and think that we are deliberately treating you harshly." Jiang Chuyue explained calmly.
Although Xiao Yihao didn't understand what Jiang Chuyue was up to, it didn't stop him from cooperating with Jiang Chuyue.
"Everything Chuyue said is true. The family seems busy and lively, but this small business not only did not make any money, but lost a lot." Xiao Yihao handed over the account book that Jiang Chuyue made every day.
He Hua grabbed it, flipped through it quickly, and found that just as Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao said, they indeed did not make any money from collecting herbs, but their stage had already been set, and this play had to go on whether Jiang Chuyue and Xiao Yihao were willing or not.
As long as there is food to eat in their home, don't even think of eating it all alone!
"If the business is not making money, why did you hire them to help?" He Hua pointed the finger at Aunt Zhang and Erniu.
Jiang Chuyue frowned somewhat unhappily. This was their family matter and Aunt Zhang should not be involved.
Seeing Erniu looking a little uneasy, Jiang Chuyue reached out and pulled him over, took out a piece of candy and handed it to him, "Erniu, our adults have something to say now, why don't you go play with Shuangshuang and the others first?"
After sending the three children away, Jiang Chuyue turned around and looked at He Hua and Liu Cui, "I'm afraid Second Aunt and Grandma have misunderstood."
