A lucky koi fish was found while escaping from famine, and the whole family became prosperous

Chapter 15: Heavy Objects Falling
At the end of her speech, Mrs. Jiang shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the Jiang family looked around instantly.

There was complete silence all around, and it didn't look like anyone was around.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Jiang's cloudy eyes were fixed on a figure that sneaked out not far away.

Under the moonlight, others quickly recognized that the person coming was Xu!
In an instant, the Jiang family's faces fell.

They all disliked Xu.

Together with Jiang Dasao, they took two steps back while holding Jiang Yunjin, always on guard against Xu.

Seeing this, Xu just chuckled twice and didn't take the other party's behavior seriously.

Instead, he fixed his gaze on a few baskets and spoke with a slight embarrassment.

"Mom, you guys can't eat all this meat, so why don't you give some to our third room? We haven't had meat in a long time!"

She rubbed her hands nervously, speaking in such a humble manner for the first time.

If it wasn't for a little bit of meat, she wouldn't do this!

Fortunately, before she went to bed, she looked at what Jiang Lao San brought back and found that it was really just a basket of wild vegetables! She wanted to throw all the wild vegetables away.

But reason held her back.

If we throw away the wild vegetables, there will be nothing to eat.

Xu secretly blamed Jiang Lao San for being useless, but then she thought of the several baskets that the Jiang family brought back.

From a distance, they all look like wild vegetables.

She doesn't believe it!

I had been watching the actions of the Jiang family, and sure enough, after nightfall, the Jiang family began to take action.

She never expected there would be so much meat, and even though it was noticed, her heart was focused on the meat.

Faced with Xu's shamelessness, the Jiang family remained silent.

In Xu's view, this means there is room for compromise.

She walked quickly to Old Lady Jiang and said again in a wronged tone, "Mom, even if you don't give me any, you have to give a bite to the third child! He's your son!"

After these words were spoken, Mrs. Jiang, who already had a cold face, became even colder.

"Third brother's wife, it's not that I won't give you food, but now you have separated from the family. These are what your eldest brother and his friends fought back. I have no right to distribute them. What I can distribute has already been distributed before."

After saying this, Mrs. Jiang waved her hand and asked Xu to leave.

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and pretended not to notice what Old Lady Jiang did. Instead, she cast an eager gaze on her two sisters-in-law, hoping that they would give her some of the meat!
But she didn't expect that these two people were also ungrateful!
Once the family is divided, even relatives are ignored!

Xu wanted to make a scene, but when she saw her elder brother who was not someone she was easy to mess with, she shrank her neck and left.

After Xu left, the Jiang family carried the basket to a secluded place.

I carefully counted the rabbits caught during the day and there were about six or seven of them.

Old Mrs. Jiang took the initiative and killed all the rabbits.

In addition, peel off the rabbit skin intact and process it to make shoes or hats for the children.

Children are not resistant to cold, so they naturally need to dress warmly, but adults can still bear with it.

The Jiang family divided the work and worked until midnight before they finally finished processing all the rabbits.

The next day.

Before dawn, the Jiang family packed their bags and set off again.

Following behind him was still the miserable Jiang Lao San.

This journey took more than ten days.

In two days, we will reach the city gate.

But the closer we got to the city gate, the more turbulent the surroundings became.

This tense and strange atmosphere made the Jiang family gradually become cautious.

The number of refugees around gradually increased.

The Jiang family found a secluded place to rest for a while.

As soon as I sat down, I heard a noise coming from not far away.

"Hurry up and give me the money, or I'll kill you!" A rough voice came from not far away.

Hearing this, Boss Jiang was about to stand up, but was grabbed by Old Lady Jiang. "Boss, don't meddle in this matter!"

Old Mrs. Jiang's face darkened slightly, thinking of the refugees holding machetes along the way, who were people she could not afford to offend.

If they can commit such evil deeds near the city gates, then the city gates must not be peaceful.

Nowadays, the most important thing is to protect yourself.

Boss Jiang also understood what my mother meant, nodded, and comforted her: "Mom, I know. I'll go ask around and come back soon!"

After saying that, he walked to the other side with two wild vegetable dumplings in his pocket.

As soon as Boss Jiang left, the surrounding refugees looked at the Jiang family with unfriendly eyes.

The next second, his gaze was urgently retracted.

It turned out that the man from the Jiang family was sitting aside holding a stick, looking around with unfriendly eyes, as if he was about to start a fight.

The other refugees felt that they were no match for the enemy and did not want to cause trouble, so they all withdrew their gazes.

Yes, the Jiang family had been eating meat all the way, and although they didn’t eat much, it was perfect for replenishing the strength their bodies needed.

The other refugees were starving one day and had no idea where to get their next meal. How could they get the energy to fight the Jiang family?

The Jiang family didn't know that they were being targeted.

After a while, Boss Jiang, who had been out for a look, came back.

He told everyone the results of his inquiries.

It is said that because there are too many refugees at the city gate, people are only allowed to enter at two fixed hours every day, and one has to pay to enter.

If a family has a small number of people, it is two taels of silver; if a family has a large number of people, it is five taels of silver.

Judging from the current number of people in the Jiang family, the entrance fee must be five taels of silver.

Fortunately, this little money can still be taken out.

"Okay, let's rest for a night. We'll set off tomorrow. Don't get angry these few days. Fortunately, we still have some wild vegetable dumplings. Eat them sparingly and let's go through the customs first!"

The people around her were staring at her with eager eyes, which made Old Lady Jiang quite alert.

Once this was said, everyone in the Jiang family agreed.

It’s better to be low-key.

The group of people who had been secretly watching the Jiang family, when they saw them eating the unsightly wild vegetable dumplings, all curled their lips, thinking that they were just a group of poor beggars.

into the night.

Jiang Yunjin was held in the arms of Jiang's eldest sister-in-law, and they huddled on the cart with Jiang's second sister-in-law and old lady Jiang. The four boys of the Jiang family also huddled on the cart.

As for Boss Jiang and his men, they took turns guarding the women and children to prevent any surprise attacks in the middle of the night.

This was also the information that Boss Jiang found out.

Until the second half of the night, everything was peaceful.

Jiang Lao Da and Jiang Lao Si switched shifts with the second and fifth brothers.

The two men had just laid down in their clothes to take a nap when they heard a rustling sound not far behind them, which was particularly obvious in the dark.

Hearing the voice, Boss Jiang opened his eyes instantly.

He exchanged a glance with Jiang Laosi beside him.

The two men got up quietly, moved to the side, and disappeared into the darkness.

Just as Boss Jiang hid himself, he saw two or three people approaching from the other side.

One of them looked very familiar to him.

Under the moonlight, he instantly recognized the man in the lead!

They are the refugees who collect money during the day!

The person is not good!
Boss Jiang, holding a stick, blended into the night and quietly moved behind those people.

While the other party was being cautious, he suddenly swung the stick in his hand.

"Bang Bang Bang"

Three muffled groans were heard, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
