Xie Jing watched Jiang Wan scoop two spoonfuls of brown rice and cook a full pot of dry brown rice.

Jiang Wan asked him, "What dishes do you have at home?"

Xie Jing's eyes moved away from the fragrant brown rice, "Pickled vegetables."

"Pickled vegetables?" Jiang Wan had a bad feeling. "Apart from pickled vegetables, are there anything else? Like eggs or something?"

Xie Jing glared at her, "Eggs are meant to be saved for money! How can you just eat them casually?"

This bad woman who ruins the family!

Jiang Wan felt relieved after hearing what he said, "How many eggs do you have at home? I want to buy two, no, I want to buy six."

"Six?"

Xie Jing opened his eyes wide, "Don't lie to me, right? Don't use this as an excuse to eat my eggs."

Jiang Wan directly took out ten coins and asked, "Is it enough?"

Xie Jing was overjoyed. One egg cost one cent, and six eggs would be six cents. He didn't have to take them to the town to sell, thus saving the round-trip travel expenses.

"Are you really going to buy it, or are you just teasing me?"

Xie Jing was skeptical.

Jiang Wan said: "One hand pays the money, the other hand delivers the goods."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jing happily ran to the main room to get the eggs. After a while, he came back with five eggs.

"There are only five left. The hens have been laying eggs slowly these days, so I have saved these five for seven or eight days."

Jiang Wan stuffed all the ten cents into his pocket and said, "The rest is my food ration."

Xie Jing was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Wan ignored him, beat all five eggs, and made a delicious scrambled eggs.

After the meal was ready, Jiang Wan served three bowls of rice, each bowl topped with golden eggs.

She didn't even say hello to the two little kids, she just picked up the bowl and started eating.

Xie Jing and Xie Xueling looked at her with their eyes wide open, but were slow to pick up their chopsticks.

Jiang Wan ate half of it and saw that they were still standing eight feet away from her cautiously. She said speechlessly, "Why, am I that scary?"

The original owner had a bad temper and low IQ, but he had a good appearance.

So that the two little guys wouldn’t be so scared of her as if they had encountered a monster.

Xie Jing was relieved when he saw that Jiang Wan was fine after eating for so long.

He quickly picked up two bowls of rice and led Xie Xueling out of the kitchen.

"Little sister, eat quickly! I don't know what's wrong with that bad woman. She actually gave us fried eggs to eat. I thought she poisoned us, but I didn't expect that she was fine after eating it..."

"It would be a waste if we don't eat it. Anyway, she has eaten a lot of our food in the past, so this little egg is nothing... We should take advantage of her while her brain is burned out. Wait a minute, I'll..."

While Xie Jing was eating, he was whispering to Xie Xueling.

Jiang Wan twitched his ears.

It’s not her fault for having good hearing, but the thatched hut is not soundproof, and whatever is said outside the thatched wall can be heard clearly inside.

You little dwarf, do you think she'll poison you?

Does she have such bad intentions?!

Jiang Wan didn't have it, but the original owner couldn't guarantee it...

After Jiang Wan had eaten and drunk his fill, he left the food at Xie's house and drove the ox cart to the village head's house.

When I arrived at the headman's house, I found the yard empty. After asking around, I found out that the headman and his entire family had gone to the Jiang family.

Jiang Wan asked an aunt in confusion, "What are the village head and his family doing at Jiang's house?"

The aunt looked Jiang Wan up and down and said hesitantly, "Jiang Sanya, don't you know about this?"

"Should I know?"

Jiang Wan was confused.

My aunt said, "You borrowed the village head's ox cart yesterday afternoon, and you didn't return to the village all night. The village head thought you stole the ox cart and sold it, so they all went to the Jiang family to reason with them."

Jiang Wan couldn't help but curl her lips. She was just casually setting a trap for Old Lady Jiang, but she didn't expect that she actually hit the target.

"Oh, then the village head and his men probably misunderstood. I'll go over and take a look now."

Jiang Wan said it lightly.

The aunt wanted to gossip a few words to Jiang Wan, but Jiang Wan was quick and she didn't have the chance to speak. She only saw a graceful back.

Jiang Wan was not in a hurry. He drove the ox cart slowly and enjoyed the scenery of Lushui Village.

Lushui Village is located by the mountains and the water. It should be a village with a superior geographical location. As long as the villagers are diligent, they can have enough food to eat.

Unfortunately, the Fengyuan court is now in turmoil, with corruption within and war outside.

The increasingly heavy taxes every year have made the villagers of Lushui Village miserable.

Take this year's autumn harvest for example. In previous years, the tax on each acre of grain land was four-tenths, but this year it is six-tenths, a full 20% more.

As a result, after many villagers in Lushui Village paid their land taxes, they were left with only enough food to fill their stomachs, and it was even a question whether they could survive until the spring.

So after the autumn harvest, many young and middle-aged people in the village went to the town or county to do odd jobs, hoping to earn some money to support their families.

The Jiang family, to which the original owner belonged, was considered a large family.

Old Mrs. Jiang gave birth to four sons and one daughter, among whom the eldest son Jiang was the most promising.

Boss Jiang opened a small restaurant in the town a long time ago, mainly selling breakfast and lunch. His business was good and he made a lot of profit every month. Therefore, after paying the land tax after the autumn harvest, his family did not have to worry about having no food to eat.

Jiang Lao Er is a scoundrel with no skills at all. He just asks Old Lady Jiang for money every day, and indulges in eating, drinking, gambling, and smoking. He is almost a devout person.

But he is sweet-talker and good at dealing with people, which makes Old Lady Jiang like him very much.

Jiang Laosan is a daughter who married into another village, and Jiang Laosi is the original owner’s biological father.

As for Jiang Laowu, he married into a wealthy family in the county two years ago and rarely returns to the village.

Among the three sons of the Jiang family, the original owner's father had the worst life. His wife died early, his only daughter was not easy to take care of, and he himself had poor health, and later died young.

The fourth son of the Jiang family is destined to be cannon fodder.

Jiang Wan spat out half a grass root from his mouth and cursed at God, "This is a national quintessence."

Others who traveled through books were either princesses or ladies from noble families, but she, on the other hand, became an insignificant little cannon fodder, and her whole family was destined to be cannon fodder.

If she didn't hold on tightly to the important characters in the book, her life might be in danger.

Jiang Wan was lamenting his rough fate when the ox cart unknowingly arrived at Jiang's house.

The Jiang family's house was surrounded by people.

There was a loud argument among several people in the yard.

"Boss Jiang, your mother is unreasonable, so are you unreasonable too? We did lend our ox cart to Jiang Sanya, and Jiang Sanya herself said that if the ox cart was lost, she would come to the Jiang family. But now your mother tells me that Jiang Sanya is not a member of the Jiang family. Aren't you kidding me?!"

"I am the head of a village after all. Don't my words carry as much weight as your mother's? Your mother has the final say. She doesn't take me, the head of a village, seriously at all!"

"I don't care what you say. Jiang Sanya's last name is Jiang, so she is a member of your Jiang family. She took my ox cart away, so you have to be responsible for paying it back. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Li Zheng, don't worry. I have sent someone to find Jiang San Ya. She will be back soon for you to deal with."

"It's been a whole day. If she wanted to come back, she would have come back long ago! Don't play tricks on me. Hurry up and give me the silver. My ox cart is not cheap..."

"..."

Jiang Wan calmly parked the ox cart at the outermost edge of the crowd and watched the show with the onlookers in front.

I don’t know who wanted to go home to get some melon seeds and come back to watch the fun, but when he turned around, he happened to see Jiang Wan, who was calm and composed.

"...Hey! Isn't this Jiang Sanya?"
