During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 24

Jiang Miao was shocked when she heard this, "It's impossible."

"Mei, is it possible that I would still lie to you? There are indeed rare people in this world."

Jiang Miao looked at Luo Tingye, but she didn't think he would be a rare person.

Luo Tingye's expression softened a little, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and rewrite the question. If you make another mistake, I will punish you by copying it ten times."

Jiang Miao curled her lips and settled down with her appointment.

At this moment, Li Peilan and Jiang Yongguo appeared in the yard. Before they could speak, they were attracted by a piece of meat hanging on the beam.

Jiang Miao bought that piece of meat from the mysterious town and planned to make braised pork.

Li Peilan was so greedy that she rolled her eyes and asked a bad guy to complain first, "Why did the meat I just bought at home disappear? It turned out that it came to your house."

As he said that, he was about to put the piece of meat into his bag.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Miao quickly stepped forward to protect the piece of meat behind her, looking at the two men fiercely, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Jiang Qian frowned dissatisfied: "Both families have been separated. What's the matter with the second uncle and the second aunt coming here this time?"

Seeing that she didn't want to do this, Li Peilan knew that it would be difficult to take away the meat. She put her hands on her hips and asked, "Of course something is wrong. I heard that you copied a few books and sold them for a little money."

Jiang Qian interrupted her directly, "Those books were copied a few years ago. I just dug them out. I did buy some money, but they were all used to buy medicine."

The implication is, not a penny.

Li Peilan was about to explode with anger. This guy who was also free from love actually wanted to keep it to himself. How could this be possible?

Immediately they started shouting, "Someone is coming, someone is coming! Someone is stealing something."

Jiang Qian said angrily: "The government still pays attention to evidence when deciding a case? Without investigating the matter clearly, why do you jump to conclusions?"

"I jumped to conclusions, and the evidence is all here."

Jiang Miao: "What evidence?"

"This piece of meat is proof."

Seeing more and more people around.

Li Peilan put his hands on his hips and said triumphantly, "This piece of meat is proof. Life is not easy for every household these days. Who would spend money to buy such a long piece of meat? It must cost a hundred or so in total. You Where did the money come from? Didn’t your brother just say that he would spend all his money buying it? So you must have stolen this piece of meat."

Li Peilan spotted the village chief with sharp eyes and shouted: "Village Chief, are you here to comment?"

Village Chief Jiang did not speak, but allowed the villagers to talk about it.

Jiang Miao looked at the village chief who allowed the village chief to make irresponsible remarks, and anger rose in her heart.

Li Peilan shouted at the top of her lungs: "Jiang Miao must have stolen the things. Village chief, you can't let people like this stay in the village. You should drive them out."

This is her goal, and she never stops.

Jiang Miao was angry and anxious, trembling all over, "You are talking nonsense. I paid for this piece of meat. If you don't believe it, ask the butcher in the town."

"But you clearly said before that your brother has lost all the money from selling his books. Where did this money come from?"

Jiang Miao put her hands on her hips and said, "It's very simple. This is the food I bought with the money I earned from doing business with people." Village Chief Jiang asked keenly: "Where did you get the food?"

Jiang Miao hesitated, "Brother Luo gave it to his friend. He saw that our life was not easy, so he asked me to help move the food. You also know that I am very strong and can move a lot at a time. This meat is what I earn from selling the food." I bought it with the money I came here.”

Luo Tingye read calmly and realized that the eyes of the whole village were on him. He did not panic at all. Instead, he was leisurely and contented, with a superior attitude. This look made the villagers think that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Even Village Chief Jiang's attitude has softened a lot, but he is self-aware. The other party can see that he is not a simple person and he speaks rashly. If he answers or not, he may offend the other party.

Patriarch Jiang once again showed his ability to adapt to the situation, "Since it is a business introduced by your friend, it should be right." He left a misunderstanding and turned around to leave.

Li Peilan was unwilling to leave just like that, and her eyes were almost fixed on the piece of meat. Their family had not eaten meat for several days. This piece of meat was so fat, it would be good to stew it in soup for Hu Zi to keep healthy.

At this moment, a round little face appeared in front of her, startling her, and she sat down on the ground.

"Oh, I'm a timid person. I was so scared by you that my chest hurts and I can't breathe."

Jiang Miao touched the broom at home with a smile and asked in a conspiratorial manner: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Li Peilan kept his eyes fixed on the piece of meat, "Either pay the money, or give me this piece of meat."

Seeing Li Peilan rolling on the ground, Luo Tingye directly pulled Jiang Qian away, leaving Jiang Miao to face it alone.

Jiang Miao felt that they were too unfaithful. She was still a child and they allowed her to face so many people alone.

Li Peilan was a little tired from all the hard work, so she spread her hands and said, "Pay for the money and the meat."

The corners of Jiang Miao's mouth raised, revealing eight teeth, "No money, no meat."

As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously, causing dust to fly instantly, and the crowd watching the excitement dispersed.

Li Peilan took a mouthful of dirt and coughed violently.

"Jiang Miao, you little bastard, how dare you do this to me?"

Jiang Miao's hands didn't stop moving at all, "You call me a bastard, what else do you expect me to do to you?"

After they exited the courtyard gate, Jiang Miao directly closed and locked the courtyard door, "It's getting late. Uncle and aunt, please go back. I won't see you off."

Those who hadn't gone far burst into laughter when they saw the two people being humiliated.

Not long after, Jiang Miao went out carrying a few pieces of meat. The first piece was delivered to the seventh uncle's house. After receiving the meat, the seventh uncle realized that another farce had happened today. Ku, you can take this meat back."

But Jiang Miao insisted on giving it. The seventh uncle's family was not very wealthy, and he hadn't seen meat for a long time. He hesitated for a moment, accepted the meat, turned around and asked his daughter-in-law to take out a pair of shoes for his granddaughter. Give it to ginger seedlings.

Jiang Miao accepted it with some embarrassment, "Thank you, seventh uncle, thank you, sister-in-law Osmanthus."

Meat is worth much more than shoes.

Sister-in-law Osmanthus smiled sincerely and said, "Don't be polite to sister-in-law. If you need any mending work in the future, just come to sister-in-law."

Jiang Miao smiled and agreed, and then went to deliver meat to the homes of the elders in the village. Most of them were the same generation as the seventh uncle, not even the village chief.

Mainly because the village chief is junior, no one else can find fault with Jiang Miao, but anyone with a discerning eye can see Jiang Miao's attitude.
