Farming by blowing the lamp: the little girl of the fool's family

Chapter 99
Yang Jiayin looked at Li Jinyang suspiciously, expressing that she did not understand what he said.

"Didn't you see that Aunt Cao is actually reluctant to give us the rice? But, I think it must be Uncle Cao who asked her to come here, otherwise, her face wouldn't be so strange just now."

Li Jinyang leaned on the trunk of the locust tree and said slowly.

Thinking of Aunt Cao's weirdness just now, combined with what Li Jinyang said just now, Yang Jiayin suddenly realized.

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Although Uncle Cao and the old couple have always been kind to them, Yang Jiayin also has a lot of trouble with Aunt Cao's temperament.

They seem easy to get along with on weekdays, but in fact, whenever they need help, it is Uncle Cao who is eager to help, and Aunt Cao seems to be not so willing.

But whenever they gave something to the old couple, Uncle Cao refused to accept it, but Aunt Cao hurriedly accepted it.

This time, presumably it must be because their kitchen was burned last night. Uncle Cao was afraid that the two of them would have nothing to eat, so he asked Aunt Cao to bring them some rice.

However, Aunt Cao is a small-minded person.

Rice is so precious, no wonder she looked so ugly just now.

"It can't be blamed on other people. In this day and age, it's good if everyone can fill their stomachs. How can there be surplus food to help others?"

Yang Jiayin wasn't angry either, and said with a cheerful smile, "We're still young anyway, can we still starve to death?"

With that said, the two planned to have lunch.

After dinner, Yang Jiayin decided to go to the mountains to try her luck again, to find some more precious medicinal herbs and go to the town to exchange for some silver. Now the family needs to buy more things.

Li Jinyang was in charge of continuing to chop wood.

Originally, Li Jinyang did not agree with her going into the mountain alone, seeing that the scars on her face were not healed, he was afraid that she would be in danger again.

But Yang Jiayin thought that Li Jinyang was still in good health, so he was sitting in the yard chopping wood, which made her feel more at ease.

Otherwise, if the two entered the mountain, who would protect whom?

Yang Jiayin repeatedly promised that she would go home before sunset, so Li Jinyang let her go out.

Afraid of encountering the dangerous situation like yesterday again, Yang Jiayin deliberately took a detour this time, planning to go to the mountain on the left to have a look.

Because of what happened last night, when many people in the village saw Yang Jiayin today, they didn't greet her warmly like in the past. Instead, when they saw her passing by, they entered the house and closed the door, as if hiding from the plague god. Same, avoid it.

"I'm not a scourge, so scary?"

Yang Jiayin frowned, muttering to herself as she walked out of the village.

As for Widow Liu's slander about her as a "broom star" last night, others did hear it, but she didn't take it to heart.

In short, whether she is a broom star or not, after a long time, everyone will know it well.

Therefore, when encountering such an embarrassing situation, Yang Jiayin didn't care. She continued to go her own way and let others mutter about it!

She hadn't gone far when Widow Liu, who hastily closed the door, called her daughter Yuwazi over. After whispering something in her ear, Yuwazi ran eastward waving her little arms.

After about a quarter of an hour, I saw Zhang Tieniu and Li Ergou sneaking out of Widow Liu's house.

Immediately, following Yang Jiayin's footsteps, they headed up the mountain.
