After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Wan teased him deliberately, "You are not your eldest brother, what's the point of your disagreement?"

"I……"

Xie Jing was speechless, but he refused to admit defeat. "Even if you marry into my family, I will not recognize you as my sister-in-law! You are vicious, bad-tempered, and lazy. If you become my sister-in-law, you will definitely abuse me and my younger sister!"

Xie Xueling was young and had always been afraid of Jiang Wan. When she heard Xie Jing say that Jiang Wan would abuse them in the future, she actually started crying out of fear.

“Wuwuwu… Second brother, I don’t want to be scolded or beaten. Xueling is afraid of pain… Xueling is afraid… Wuwu.”

Xie Jing quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, little sister, your second brother will protect you. Even if your second brother fights with a bad woman, he will not let her hurt you!"

"Wow... Second brother, you are so kind. Xueling also wants to protect you..."

Xie Xueling snuggled into Xie Jing's arms and comforted each other.

Jiang Wan: "..."

When did she say she was going to abuse them?

She's just standing here, okay?!

Jiang Wan moved his nose and smelled a strong smell of burnt food.

"Are you cooking?"

Jiang Wan looked at Xie Jing in confusion.

Xie Jing suddenly remembered something and hurried to the kitchen.

"Ah... the rice I cooked! Ahem... "

Jiang Wan followed him in.

The kitchen was filled with smoke, and the large iron pot on the stove had turned completely black. One could not tell what was cooking with the naked eye.

"You want to burn down the kitchen?"

Jiang Wan walked to the back of the stove and pulled out the firewood.

The fire in the stove was big and the firewood was moist, so when it burned, it naturally emitted bursts of thick smoke.

Jiang Wan put out some of the fire in the stove, threw the damp firewood out of the kitchen, then scooped out the black paste in the iron pot and threw it into the chicken coop in the yard.

Xie Jing stood aside and watched Jiang Wan's smooth movements the whole time, and was completely dazed.

Did he read that correctly?

The bad woman actually helped him clean the kitchen?

Jiang Wan said seriously, "Be careful when burning firewood next time. Don't put wet firewood in. Otherwise, the whole room will be filled with smoke and people will be choked to death. Cough cough cough."

Xie Jing's face turned slightly red. In the past, his eldest brother always cooked at home and he helped to light the fire.

But Xie Lan was not at home today, and he had too much to do, such as fetching water, collecting firewood, chopping wood, washing clothes, etc.

He was busy cooking at noon and was so busy that he didn't notice that the firewood was damp.

What's more, he was cooking well when Jiang Wan came over unexpectedly, which made him confused and forgot that there was still rice cooking in the pot.

All in all, it’s all Jiang Wan’s fault!

"It's all because of you. The rice didn't need to be so mushy."

Xie Jing wiped his nose and said confidently, "If you hadn't suddenly come to disturb me, I wouldn't have burnt the rice. Now, I've wasted so much food. How are you going to compensate me?"

Jiang Wan: "..."

Are you trying to put the blame on her?

"You better leave quickly, or you'll be in trouble when my brother comes back!"

Xie Jing started to drive people away because he didn't want to live under the same roof with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan turned and went out.

Xie Jing was delighted that he had finally driven away this plague god.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wan turned around and came back, carrying two bags.

"What are you doing?"

Xie Jing watched Jiang Wan walk to the rice jar and was about to lift the lid, so he pounced on it.

"Bad woman! How dare you come to steal my food!"

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Little man, are you blind? Don't you see that my bag is bulging?"

Xie Jing said: "Who knows what bad ideas you have!"

Jiang Wan had no choice but to explain: "I brought 50 kilograms of food, and I wanted to see how much rice was left in your rice jar. If it's not enough, I'll pour some in."

Xie Jing couldn't believe it. A bad woman gave his family food?

real or fake?

Seeing Xie Jing’s dazed look, Jiang Wan didn’t bother to say anything more to him and simply lifted the rice cover.

The corn in the jar was almost gone, and there was a bag of brown rice next to it, but there was no other food.

Jiang Wan frowned, "Isn't your elder brother good at hunting? How come there is only so much food left?"

When Xie Jing was mentioned, he got angry, "It's all because of you!"

"Me?" Jiang Wan said innocently, "What do you mean?"

Xie Jing began to list Jiang Wan's crimes.

"You ask your uncle to borrow money from my eldest brother every now and then, or you need food and drink. The prey in the mountains are not stupid. They won't just stand there and let my eldest brother catch them! The animals in the mountains are like spirits now. They are very difficult to catch. If I catch them, I have to sell them in town and save the money for my eldest brother to marry you!"

"You said before that if I want to marry you, I have to give you fifty taels of betrothal gifts, otherwise you won't marry me. In order to save up the betrothal gifts for you, I have to go to the mountains to hunt game all the time."

"I won't even mention how hard it is for my brother every day. Hunting is also very dangerous. If you are not careful and encounter wolves, tigers or leopards, it will be very difficult to escape. My brother would rather take the risk and go to the mountains because of you!"

Xie Jing's face flushed with anger. "Originally, there was still food at home, but you were injured a few days ago, and my uncle spent all his money. In order to help my uncle, my eldest brother sold all the food at home, so the rice jar is empty!"

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Wan quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead.

It turned out that it was the original owner's fault again.

She actually asked for a huge betrothal gift of fifty taels of silver.

When ordinary farmers in Lushui Village get married, the man will give at most two taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

The original owner asked for fifty taels directly.

Do you really think of yourself as a rich lady?

Jiang Wan coughed dryly and said calmly, "There is such a thing. If you don't tell me, I won't remember it. Let's put the past aside for now. I happen to have some food now, so I can return some to you."

What?

Xie Jing opened his eyes wide and looked at her in disbelief, "You have a fever too? Are you confused by the fever?"

It has always been Jiang Wan who asked their family for things, so why was Jiang Wan willing to take food from their house today?

Jiang Wan didn't bother to talk any more and directly poured a bag of grain into the rice jar.

Xie Jing felt confused and felt that Jiang Wan's behavior in the past two days made him confused.

Xie Xueling, who was standing at the door, had been watching their actions.

Seeing that Jiang Wan was not as ferocious as before, she said weakly, "Second brother... Xueling is hungry..."

Xie Jing's stomach also began to growl, "Second brother will cook for you right away."

As he was about to scoop rice to cook, Jiang Wan snatched the gourd spoon from his hand and said, "Let me do it. Look at what you just cooked, that's called rice?"

"That's not because of you..."

Xie Jing retorted angrily.

Jiang Wan ignored him and started washing rice and cooking.

She was also a little hungry. She had been catching the bus on the way back and forth, and had gone to Zhang's house to make some noise. She had long since digested the buns she had eaten in the morning.

What Zhang Caijin returned was the most common brown rice, as the original owner had lent out corn.

Brown rice is cheaper than corn, but also tastes worse than corn.

However, Jiang Wan didn't want to argue with Zhang Caijin for the time being. They would slowly settle the accounts between them later.
