During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

Chapter 66: Grabbing meat, jealous

Village Chief Jiang naturally disagrees with so many people doing business with Jiang Miao. Besides, the business of digging wild vegetables will not last long. Everyone knows that in a short time, the wild vegetables in the mountains will be gone, and the food in the fields is more important.

"I have heard about what happened yesterday. It was indeed wrong for your grandma to take that piece of meat from your family. I have already told her, but things have already happened. You still want to be open-minded and don't make trouble with their family." Village Chief Jiang scolded Jiang Miao with a straight face.

"Uncle Village Chief, I never thought of quarreling with them. I just felt that what my grandma did was too unkind. Even if she wanted meat, she should have told us in advance. If I hadn't happened to go there yesterday, Ninth Uncle's house, Seventh Uncle's house is going to give me his piece of meat, if outsiders find out, they will think I'm robbing Seventh Uncle's meat."

Village Chief Jiang looked a little ugly. He only found out about this when he went to visit his two uncles last night. At that time, he thought it was unbelievable that a grandmother would snatch the flesh of her grandchildren. How would it look like if word spread?
But if you think about it carefully, life is difficult for every household these days, and there is no water for a long time. It is no wonder that they would do such a thing.

Besides, Miao Yatou's family is not short of meat, so they must have made money digging wild vegetables this time.

"By the way, several people have come to me in the past two days to complain, saying that you privately opened up the land next to your house to grow vegetables."

Jiang Miao was tongue-tied, "I just measured it and haven't broken ground yet. Why isn't this allowed?"

She was confused, why did everyone in the village stop working and only focus on her home?

"Theoretically speaking, there is no problem if you find a vegetable plot next to your home to grow vegetables. Many families in our village do this. As long as no one makes irresponsible remarks, there will be no problem. But your family has not been making any money recently. Do you want some money? There are a lot of jealous people, and a lot of people come to me to complain. I am also in a dilemma. If your food is really not enough, just go to my house to get it. "

It’s just enough food for three people, but their family can still afford it.

Village Chief Jiang also didn't want this matter to cause him a headache.

"Uncle, I never thought that A Miao would cause trouble for you." Jiang Qian walked over on crutches, "But someone made a fuss. If the village doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid they will feel resentful. It just so happened that I and Ah Miao has also discussed growing some vegetables, so why not buy these pieces of land near our house, and when we grow some food next spring, I can help take care of them."

Village Chief Jiang asked differently: "You want to buy all the land around your house?"

"Don't buy that much, just buy a few pieces nearby and keep them to grow vegetables or a little grain to supplement some of the expenses."

The land is only two or three acres, and if taken care of well, it will be enough for them to eat and drink all year round.

"That's fine, but does your family have that much money?"

Jiang Qian said expressionlessly: "I recently wrote two articles and made a little money."

Village Chief Jiang had forgotten that in addition to his good writing, Jiang Qian's articles were also first-rate. He was once praised by a wife in the county, and I heard that he even caught the eye of an adult. If it weren't for his disabled legs, Well, maybe you can really become a high official.

Village Chief Jiang had a heart attack, and suddenly felt that he was caring about the wrong person. His younger sister was capable, and his elder brother was talented, so there was no need to worry about him.

"In that case, come to my house later to apply for the land deed. Now, I can plant some vegetables and put them in the cellar so that I can eat them in the winter."

"Yes." Jiang Qian sent the village chief away with a smile on his face.

Jiang Miao said hello to her elder brother and went up the mountain. On the mountain, ten people divided into two groups to dig wild vegetables.

Seeing that Jiang Miao was unhappy, Luo Tingye rubbed her nose with the dogtail grass in his hand.

"I'm bored."

"What's there to be angry about? In the past, when you were not rich, people would laugh behind your back. Now that your family is living a better life, of course they will be jealous." Jiang Miao stamped her feet, "Jealousy is jealousy, but you can't do it behind your back. Even if I have a small vegetable garden, they can go to the village chief and report me. They are staring at our house all day long."

Jiang Miao didn't like this feeling very much, especially when she thought that the villagers who usually smiled at him stabbed her in the back, which made her feel unhappy.

"Sister Miao, are you here?"

"Hu Shaoan? Why are you here?"

"I came with my father to pick some herbs. Although I have money to live on, I can't be idle. These herbs may not look inconspicuous, but after they are dried, you can buy some money if you get them. The two are herbs that stop bleeding. If you take them back, pound them, and apply them on the wound, they will heal your injury."

Jiang Miao was about to reach out to take it, but was blocked by Luo Tingye, "It's better not to use it. My family bought good medicine from the pharmacy in the county. It's better to take your two herbs back, dry them and sell them for money."

Hu Shaoan looked at Jiang Miao awkwardly, hoping that she would accept the two herbs.

Luo Tingye has extraordinary skills and he can't beat him, but as long as Miao Yatou accepts him, there's nothing he can do.

"You'd better take it back. I have medicine at home. My injury isn't serious. It won't take long for me to recover."

Hu Shaoan was a little disappointed. He took back the herbs angrily, and then took out two red wild fruits from his arms.

"If you don't want these two fruits for herbal medicine, why don't you take them?"

After saying that, regardless of whether Jiang Miao accepted it or not, he stuffed it directly into her hand and ran away without looking back.

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up. After washing with water, she took a bite of the sour and sweet food, which was very appetizing. "Would you like one too?"

Luo Tingye could tell that she liked to eat, and couldn't help but frown, "It's really superficial that just two fruits can make you so happy."

After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Jiang Miao was very angry where she was, and it took her a long time to react, "Who are you calling superficial? I ate two fruits, why did I become superficial?"

It just pissed her off.

What does eating fruit have to do with superficiality?
She thinks drinking milk tea is more superficial.

Hu Shaoan didn't go far. Hearing the sound, the two seemed to be quarreling, and he felt a little happy.

The two had a quarrel, doesn't that mean he has a chance?
Jiang Miao also left angrily, but she was heading down the mountain, while Luo Tingye was heading up the mountain.

Perhaps it was because there were few people, or perhaps there were not many wild vegetables on the mountain. In less than two hours, ten people had harvested all the wild vegetables nearby. It seemed that they would have to change their location again tomorrow.

Back home, Jiang Qian distributed wild vegetable money to ten people. In the blink of an eye, it was noon, but Luo Tingye was still nowhere to be seen.

"Amiao, where did Brother Luo go?"
