What did you say? Am I a pauper again?

Chapter 261 Want to be literate

Thinking that Jinnian might not have eaten for a long time, Jingyuan Zhiduo made some.

After Jinnian washed her hands and face, she felt a little uncomfortable as she watched a large basin of clear water turn turbid. After she used up the last pot of water, she reluctantly felt a little cleaner.

Looking at the empty pot of water, Jinnian silently went to the well to fetch water, filled the pot and carried it back to the kitchen.

"Has it been washed?" Jing Yuanzhi was stirring the food in the pot.

Jinnian hummed and brought the kettle in.

"Just put it over there." Jing Yuanzhi looked at it.

Jinnian placed the kettle where she pointed and stopped moving.

Standing at the door, although there was no expression on his face, his eyes could not deceive anyone.

Jing Yuanzhi looked at her eyes that kept looking into the pot, and said with a smile: "It will be ready soon, just wait."

Jinnian pursed her lips: "I'm not in a hurry."

Jing Yuanzhi smiled and said nothing.

Soon, the fried rice was cooked, and Jing Yuanzhi packed the bowl and handed it to the girl with chopsticks.

Jinnian looked at the full bowl of fried rice without taking it, and looked at Jing Yuanzhi with a pair of black and white eyes: "Are these all for me?"

Jing Yuanzhi nodded: "I have already eaten, these are all yours."

Jinnian took the bowl of fried rice with some caution.

"Come, sit here and eat." Jing Yuanzhi took a small stool and handed it to the girl.

Suminian took the small stool and thanked Jing Yuanzhi in a low voice, then sat on the stool and started eating.

Seeing her eating so fast, Jing Yuanzhi was afraid that she would choke, so he poured a glass of water for her and put it next to her, then turned and left the kitchen.

Although Suminian was very hungry, she still tried her best to control her speed while eating. Jing Yuanzhi saw that he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable there, so he left.

After finishing her meal, Jinnian silently cleaned the dishes and pots on the stove before going out.

Jing Yuanzhi brought the herbs that needed to be dried and put them in the yard to dry. Seeing that Jinnian had finished her meal, she waved her over.

"Now I need you to help me with something. This village is called Huangjiacun. There is a family in the village named Huang Houtu, who is my grandfather. However, there is a blood feud between my family and them. His grandson Huang Baolai is getting married. He is A girl in this town, please find a way to ruin this marriage for me. As long as you are not discovered, you can do whatever you want. I only have one request. The more miserable the Huang Houtu family is, the better." Jing Yuanzhi told the girl simply. Explained the situation.

Jinnian listened to her in silence, then raised his head and looked at Jing Yuanzhi: "The family are all from this village? Don't they have any special status?"

Jing Yuanzhi shook his head: "No, that's just an ordinary farmer with a vicious mind."

Jinnian nodded: "Okay, I agree."

"Wait for me." After saying this, Jing Yuanzhi went back to the room, took out some money, and handed it to Jinnian. The money was the pocket money given to her by Huang's father.

Huang Dagou and his wife both felt that their daughter had suffered too hard in the past ten years, so now that they have the conditions, they want to make it up to her.

"Here, you use the money first. When you use it up, you can come to me for it. I can only make you live outside temporarily these days. After the identity problem is solved, I will find an opportunity to let you live in the village. Or you Want to live in a town?"

Jinnian took the money, rubbed it in his hands a few times, and then said, "It doesn't matter. I'm used to being outside. As for where to live, I'll tell you later."

Jing Yuanzhi nodded and pointed a path to her.

After Jin Nian left, Jing Yuanzhi finished processing the herbs, then took the basket and small hoe to the back mountain to dig for herbs. Come back at a good time to prepare dinner, and then call Mother Jiang and the others to come back for dinner.

Father Huang also came back at this time, and there seemed to be something in the basket on his back.

Jing Yuanzhi saw him coming and ran to meet him: "Dad! Are you going hunting again?"

Jing Yuanzhi smelled the smell of blood.

Huang Daddy smiled and wanted to reach out and touch her head, but when he thought there was blood on his hand, he took his hand back and said loudly: "It's still early for the prey to be sold out in the morning, so I just thought about going to catch some prey and come back. Your mother where are they?"

Jing Yuanzhi pointed outside: "Mom, they are reclaiming wasteland. I just went to call them to come back for dinner. Dad, you should wash your hands quickly. After washing your hands, you must have eaten. Dad, you must not have eaten well at noon. I can't I’ve done a lot.”

"Okay!" Huang Dad carried the basket on his back and went in with a satisfied look on his face.

After dinner in the evening, Huang Dad poured all the money he earned from selling the prey today on the table.

Mother Jiang counted them one by one carefully: "There are actually three taels of silver!"

Jing Yuanzhi was also a little surprised. It seemed that the deer yesterday was indeed valuable.

Father Huang said with a smile: "Most of the three taels of silver were sold by that deer. I was asked, if I meet someone who takes the whole deer again in the future, he will give me five taels of silver!"

"This is a rare thing. You're lucky to meet it once. Don't even think about making money from this." Jiang's mother said with some disapproval.

Father Huang laughed heartily, took Mother Jiang's arm with one hand and said, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I'm just saying that I still know my own abilities."

Mother Jiang gave Father Huang an angry look. She had no sense of propriety in front of her children.

The three brothers and sisters of Jingyuan smiled quietly and said nothing.

"By the way, dad, is anyone in our village literate?" Jing Yuanzhi asked. In her memory, no one in Huangjia Village seemed to be literate.

Father Huang thought for a while and said: "No, I remember that your grandfather Huang Donglai seemed to be literate, but he could only read about a hundred characters. And he is old now. I don't know how many he can remember. Yinyin, you ask this What to do, I’ll go to the village to ask tomorrow.”

"Dad, I found a book under the ice cellar today. It seems to contain various herbal medicines. I thought that if I could read, I could dig up herbal medicines and sell them for money. In this way, my family can also One more income." Jing Yuanzhi said with a smile.

"Book? Why haven't I seen it?" Huang Huang frowned, thinking about the situation under the ice cellar.

"Sister, when did you discover it? What is the book like?" Huang Chunyang also asked curiously.

"Now, that's it." Jing Yuanzhi went to his room, took out the book, and handed it to them to read.

Huang Dad took the book, flipped through it, and said in surprise: "Yeah, I know this. I had a severe fever before. When the doctor came, he dug up some herbs by the roadside, and this was among them."

Jing Yuanzhi slightly stretched his head to see the herb that Huang's father mentioned. It was honeysuckle.

"So, there are all herbal medicines in this?" Mother Jiang was a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was really a book recording herbal medicines.

Father Huang nodded: "It must be. I didn't expect us to be so lucky. We went down so many times before and didn't find it, but she found it as soon as we went down."

Dad Huang said happily: "Yinyin is waiting. Tomorrow, dad will go to the village and ask who can read. Dad will ask him to teach you. Maybe Yinyin can become a female doctor in the future!"

Jiang's mother gave Huang's father a gentle slap: "It's not happening yet, don't talk about it in front of the child."

"But, Yinyin, there is such a good thing, you have to learn it hard. Not to mention being a female doctor, being able to identify herbal medicine is also a skill that can be used to support yourself." Mother Jiang said to Jing Yuanzhi said.

Jing Yuanzhi nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I will do it."

Jiang's mother rubbed Jing Yuanzhi's head happily.
