Liu felt that she was being led by Jiang Yue, so she turned to look at the head of the village and said, "Master, Youfang ate too much and was killed. I think it was that little girl Jiang Yue who poisoned her. You must give an explanation today, or I will report her to the police!"

The head of the village rolled his eyes at Liu. He didn't say anything when they were robbing her, but now she was anxious to pay compensation after she got sick from eating. He said unhappily, "Stop arguing and listen to what Doctor Cui has to say."

Doctor Cui had just arrived and only heard the end of the conversation. He said bluntly, "The girl from the Jiang family has a stomachache and is indeed weak now."

The village head asked, "Is it poison? If so, what is the poison?"

The doctor stroked his beard and said, "If it's poisoning, it's probably because you took the laxative by mistake."

Jiang Yue asked: "Grandpa Doctor, will laxatives cause diarrhea no matter how much? For example, if my aunt eats ten candied fruits and gets a stomachache and diarrhea, will my second aunt also get a stomachache and diarrhea if she eats one?"

The doctor said seriously, "Your aunt has collapsed. If she really took the laxative by mistake, the dose must be very large. If your second aunt took one, she would naturally have a stomachache and diarrhea."

Jiang Yue smiled, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, do you two have stomachaches? Are you upset?"

Li and Qian were stunned and waved their hands repeatedly.

Jiang Yue said to everyone, "The four of us, my brother and sister, and my mother all ate one yesterday and were fine. My aunt ate a lot and it was hard for her to digest. The person selling the candied fruit told us not to eat too much. If I had known my aunt was so greedy, I would have taken the candied fruit back no matter what!"

After saying that, she retreated directly behind Jiang Youshan.

Cai nervously pulled Jiang Yue, fearing that something had happened to her daughter, and explained to everyone: "I drank the medicine yesterday and felt bitter in my mouth, so I took a pill. Nothing has happened so far."

The head of the village understood what was going on and felt a little disgusted with Liu. The quarrel made him upset: "What are you quarreling about? Everyone is fine after eating, but your daughter is the only one who has a problem? Your daughter ate something unclean and got a stomachache. It has nothing to do with Jiang Youshan's family."

Old man Jiang frowned. He had just advised Liu not to make a scene. Now that Liu was making a scene, he was the one who was wrong. He coughed and apologized to the head of the village:

"Her mother was just anxious at the moment. Let's go away, everyone."

Granny Han poked her head out from the crowd and said, "Granny Liu, don't be partial in the future. Share the delicious food with your grandchildren, don't just spoil your daughter. Otherwise, it's not just her second and third sisters-in-law who are fine, but your daughter is fainting from diarrhea!"

Liu felt so angry after hearing this that she glared at Mrs. Han, but she couldn't get angry.

He pointed his finger at Jiang Yue and yelled, "It was you, you damned girl, who killed my daughter!"

After saying that, Liu, who had never fought in her life, actually raised her hand and ran towards Jiang Yue. Liu didn't understand why she was the one who was poisoned by Jiang Yue and she was the one who was blamed?

"Dad, she's going to hit me."

Jiang Ming was surprised to see that her elder sister did not fight back, but actually circled around Jiang Youshan to avoid him.

This is abnormal, very abnormal.

Jiang Youshan: Well, it seems to be useful in front of my eldest daughter.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me—"

Jiang Youshan waved his hand to stop Liu. Liu couldn't reach Jiang Yue and was so angry that she overturned the recliner.

Jiang Youshan, who was sitting on the recliner, subconsciously dodged, and felt a sharp pain in his legs for a moment, and he stood up.

"Don't hit my daughter."

"His father——"

"father--"

"ah--"

Everyone in the yard exclaimed that the paralyzed Jiang Youshan actually stood up?

"Hey--"

Jiang Youshan realized it later: "My legs? My legs?"

Doctor Cui quickly squeezed forward and asked, "Youshan, is your leg healed?"

Jiang Youshan raised his legs and stamped his feet in disbelief: "Can I leave now?"

Doctor Cui stroked his beard and said, "It must be because of the crisis just now that you forgot about your legs and focused on saving your daughter, so you got better."

Doctor Cui's voice gradually weakened. "Yes, that's right."

He couldn't explain it. The person who he had diagnosed as paralyzed was healed in front of him?

Neighbor Li Cai suddenly realized: "Just now Jiang Ming's family was crying at the grave. Maybe Jiang Ming's grandmother saw them being bullied and appeared and healed Uncle Jiang's leg."

Jiang Yue listened with satisfaction and was very satisfied with the excuses the villagers found on their own.

Jiang Ming also laughed and thought to himself that it might be the spirit of his eldest sister's Master Laojun appearing.

Liu was furious when she saw the family so happy.

Old Man Jiang didn't know whether to be happy or angry. He pulled Liu and whispered to her to go back home, "Stop making a fuss. Just say it's not about the candied fruit..."

Without waiting for the crowd to disperse, Jiang Ming turned around and went into the house to pick it up. He quickly walked to Mrs. Han and said, "Grandma Han, my pigpen is ready. I'll go get the piglet right away. This pheasant is for your help."

Mrs. Han looked at the pheasant with her eyes bent with laughter, and she praised several children in the direction where Liu had just walked, fearing that she couldn't hear her.

Liu sneered with a dark face, and said to the few people who turned their heads to look, "What are you looking at, you useless people!"

Li hung her head in annoyance, regretting that she shouldn't have come. She didn't get any benefits, but got herself into trouble for nothing, and she had to cover up for her sister-in-law. She had seen clearly that the old woman could not beat Jiang Yue.

Old man Jiang sighed. They had just separated and now this had happened. It would be even harder to ease the relationship in the future.

In the next few days, Jiang Yue went to the county town to withdraw money to buy gifts, and started to take care of the schooling of her siblings and the purchase of land and building of a house.

Jiang Youshan took the things and went to visit Mr. Cui's home in the neighboring village. Mr. Cui was easy-going. When he saw them coming, he only asked the three children a few questions symbolically and agreed. He did not dislike Jiang Ming for being old, Jiang Lei for being young, or Jiang Xue for being a girl.

Cai was overjoyed. Although she had to pay a few taels of silver as a tuition fee, she was happy in her heart and quickly took out three cloth bags to hold pens and ink for the children.

Jiang Yue didn't know much about building a house, so he asked Jiang Lei to carry a piece of meat and a pot of wine to the village head's house. The village head twisted his beard and smiled, "Do you want to buy land and build a house?"

Hua Ming nodded: "Thank you for your trouble. Let's find a good place in our village and build a new yard."

"Do you like the place?"

Jiang Ming said, "The village head is familiar with the land in our village. You can pick it out first. It won't be a big deal."

The head of the village clicked his tongue twice and said, "This kid is good, steady and good at speaking. That's great. Old man Jiang is so unlucky."

He turned around and took out a roll of paper. When he unfolded it, he saw that it was exactly the location and size of each household in the village drawn on it.

"Boy, I knew you would come. Come and take a look. There are many empty places in our village. What do you want to choose?"

"Grandpa Lizheng, your picture is really good."

The village head was very proud: "This thing was given to me by my son Huizi after he came back from the army. He asked me to make it and see clearly. I don't know how to make this thing, so Huizi walked around the village several times and drew it for me. Look, the location and size of each household can be seen at a glance, just like the real thing."

The village head mentioned Huizi, his youngest son. After returning from the army, he went to the county town to do business. He often went out and had an active mind.

Jiang Ming opened his eyes wide, this was so clear.

"Grandpa Lizheng, this is the house we live in now."

The current house is in the middle of the village. It has three rooms and a courtyard, and is much smaller than the surrounding houses.

"Right here. Let's see, where do you want to build your home? Look, the circled area with houses is not okay because it's owned by someone. Here, here, and this one at the south end are all options, as they're all unowned."

Jiang Ming looked at it and shook his head: "It's too small. It won't work."

"Small?" The village head's eyes widened. "It's big enough for you and your brother to get married and have kids."

Jiang Ming still shook his head. His eldest sister said that the place had to be big, and this biggest one couldn't compare to Jiang's. His eldest sister would definitely not like it.
