Chapter 41
Wei Chengye originally wanted to remind Jiang Yao that catching insects with bare hands is dangerous, but upon hearing that, his words got stuck in his throat...

Seeing that the man beside him was hesitant to speak, Jiang Yao finally guessed what he wanted to say, and patted Wei Chengye's arm with the other hand, saying quite fearlessly.

"Don't worry, I recognized what this thing was just before I caught it."

"Well, I believe it."

The man said he believed it, but Jiang Yao always felt that he still didn't approve of her behavior, so she rolled her eyes and had to explain again.

"In the past, when Jiang Xue'an beat me and refused to give me food, I would sneak into the mountains to find food."

"One time when I was baking something, a stupid monkey fell into the fire. I wanted to use a branch to pull it out, but I didn't expect to smell a fragrance soon, so I..."

"Eat? You really have a big heart." Wei Chengye said to Jiang Yao sullenly, and his heart ached again.

"Don't do this again in the future. If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me. I won't say how much I can help you. At least one bite is guaranteed. Let's put this thing away. You can't eat it."

"Why did you let it go?" Jiang Yao wondered, she hadn't eaten this for a long time, and she was also a little greedy, and wanted to grab some more at this time.

Anyway, because of making stinky tofu, there is oil at home at all times, so when you go home and make a plate of fried cicadas, it’s as delicious as hell, isn’t it?
Wei Chengye didn't know, she had already considered whether there was any oil in the house at this time, and only carefully explained the situation to her.

"This thing is a pest. In the past, some trees in the village were killed by it, and those young branches and leaves were also directly withered by it. It can't eat it."

Following Wei Chengye's narration, Jiang Yao seemed to recall some past events.

It is because the trees and crops damaged by the cicada monkey are not growing well, and it once became the most hated insect by the villagers.

In this situation, people wish to kill all these bugs, so why would they think about how to eat them?
It is estimated that this insect is very poisonous, and people will get sick if they eat it.

She sighed in her heart, but Jiang Yao didn't change her mind, and lightly bumped Wei Chengye's arm.

"I can assure you, this thing is edible. Come grab some more with me, and I promise to make it delicious."

Wanting to ask someone to do something, Jiang Yao subconsciously softened her tone a bit, and blinked her watery eyes.

After all, Wei Chengye couldn't stand Jiang Yao like this, so he placed the prey mentioned, and followed Jiang Yao to catch the cicada monkey.

The two of them grabbed a full three catties before stopping.

If it weren't for the consideration that the family is full of female dolls, the acceptance of this dish may not be high, and the sky is getting darker, she might have to grab some more.

No, how can I only eat it once?Next time she will trick Wei Chengye into looking for him.

Thinking about it in her heart, Jiang Yao heard a middle-aged female voice with three points of arrogance.

"Isn't this Jiang Yao? Why did you come back so late? What are you carrying in your hand? It's a big bag, and it's still dark. It's scary to look at!"

Jiang Yao turned around when she heard the words, and saw two women walking side by side, one of them was a step behind, she didn't know if it was lack of confidence, or she didn't want to be with the other.

In an instant, she didn't remember who these two people were, so Jiang Yao had no choice but to lift the things in her hands up, and continued to search for memories while explaining.

"This is a cicada monkey, just caught, it's fresh."

As soon as she heard that it was Zhizhihou, the woman walking in front took two steps back with disgust on her face, her eyes were full of disgust, and her voice became sharper.

"You damn girl, what are you going to do to catch these bugs? Hurry up and take them away! It's really disgusting!"

Hearing the ear-piercing voice, Jiang Yao instantly recalled who the two women in front of her were.

The first one is the eldest aunt Qian Shi, obviously everyone is from the village, but she thinks that the village where she lives is more prosperous, she thinks she is superior and often looks down on others.

The person in the back is the second aunt Feng, who has a tepid temper and is more able to listen to what the eldest aunt is saying, and is more practical and willing to work.

I met these two people several years ago, so it's no wonder I didn't remember them just now.

After all, they are relatives, and they are now living with grandma, and they still need the consent of the two uncles. Jiang Yao just pretended not to see the contempt in Qian's eyes.

However, she didn't take back the bag in her hand, but deliberately pushed it forward, smiling brighter than the sun in the daytime.

"Don't judge a worm by its cover, Auntie. This is the most unattractive thing, but it is delicious when made. Why don't the two aunts go home with me and try it?"

It's already disgusting to look at, let alone eat it in the stomach.

Especially this kind of pest that can be seen everywhere, Qian's contempt from the bottom of his heart.

"No, at this point, your uncle has already cooked the rice at home, I'd better go back and eat, otherwise the food at home will be wasted."

What he said was good, but Qian had another idea in his heart.

In the future, her uncle must be kept away from Mrs. Lu. He is really poor and crazy, and he even eats such disgusting insects!

After refusing, Qian didn't even bother to say goodbye to Feng, and hurried back, as if staying here for a moment, Jiang Yao would ask her to borrow money.

Feng Shi, who stayed where she was, sighed, stepped forward and patted Jiang Yao on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "Your eldest aunt has such a temperament, don't take it to heart, she has nothing against you."

"I know, second aunt, do you want to go together? I won't lie to you, it's really delicious." Jiang Yao has a good impression of this second aunt, especially at this moment when she was comforted by a few words.

Looking at Jiang Yao's sincere invitation, and remembering that she hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a few days, Feng Shi nodded, with a bit of pity in her gentle voice.

"You go first, there's still something to do at home, I'll come back when I'm done."

"Okay, then let's wait for the second aunt to come before we have dinner."

"Row."

The two walked in opposite directions, within a few steps, Master Feng looked back at Jiang Yao, and couldn't help sighing again.

"What a poor girl. She has to raise a big family at such an age. If it weren't for this, she shouldn't be thinking about bugs."

The more I thought about it, the more distressed I became, and Feng's pace became much faster.

Jiang Yao didn't expect that her family would be branded poor in the hearts of the two aunts because of a bag of worms.

When she got home, she started to deal with chestnuts and cicadas.

Originally, Mrs. Lu wanted to blame Jiang Yao when she saw Jiang Yao bring back a pack of worms.

But recalling the previous experience of being slapped in the face, she finally remained silent and watched Jiang Yao cook quietly.

There are a lot of chestnuts, and there are also a lot of cicada monkeys. Jiang Yao will definitely not be able to clean them up.

Seeing so many things, the three younger sisters and Mrs. Lu gathered around to help.

But as soon as his sight touched Cicada Monkey, he backed away in fright.

"Sister, are we so poor that we can only eat bugs?"
