I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 35 Autumn Harvest
The whole family ate dinner in silence. How could old man Jiang not know that everyone in the family was unhappy? When Jiang Youshan was alive, none of his grandsons would go out to work, except Jiang Ming. His sons were also relaxed and would occasionally slack off, except Jiang Youshan.
Now not only the grandson, but also the daughter-in-law has to go to the fields, they are not happy. But the autumn harvest can not be delayed, more labor is also good.
Except for Jiang Youtian who stayed with Jiang Youguang, the other five members of the first family all went to the fields.
In the second house, Jiang Youcai took his eldest son and second daughter to work in the fields.
Qian and Fan, with big bellies, were at home taking care of the children and the chickens and pigs in the backyard, washing and cutting vegetables, while Liu was cooking. The three of them were overwhelmed and couldn't take care of anything.
There was no other way, so Liu ordered Jiang Youfang to do some small chores. Jiang Youfang was angry, and she smashed the wooden basin while washing clothes, making a clanging sound. As for feeding the pigs, that was impossible. Since she fell into the toilet last time, she refused to go to the backyard. Every time she went to the toilet, Liu would help her solve the problem in the room.
Old man Jiang took his children and grandchildren to the fields to harvest crops. Each of them was assigned a row of crops. They worked hard, grunting and groaning. When they reached the end of a row and looked back, they were so angry that their livers ached. None of them were capable.
Jiang Youcai felt aggrieved. Why did he have to accompany his brother to the county town to take the exam while he stayed at home to work? Naturally, his hands were weak.
Li felt sorry for her daughter. Zhi'er was already eleven years old and would soon be ready for marriage. How could she still be exposed to the hot sun? Even the eldest brother's family didn't let their granddaughter go to the fields!
Jiang Changshun was concerned about his two younger brothers, who were not harvesting quickly. Jiang Changping was spoiled by Qian and did not harvest properly, going to the toilet and drinking water. Jiang Hua was obedient, following Jiang Zhi to carry the rice bundles, but she was small and could not carry them slowly.
For three days in a row, less than half of the crops in the fields were harvested. That afternoon, Old Man Jiang and his mighty team had just started working.
Then Jiang Changhe cried out "Aiya" and called for her sister. It turned out that Jiang Zhi couldn't stand the sun and fainted while holding a bundle of rice.
Li ran over hurriedly and bent over to pinch her daughter's philtrum. Jiang Changshun and his two brothers were also close by. They dropped their sickles and surrounded her, calling her sister and sister.
Old man Jiang also came over. Although she didn't pay much attention to her granddaughter, it was the time of harvest and her granddaughter was at least a laborer. Old man Jiang looked at the ground and saw that Jiang Zhi's face was red and hot, and her lips were dry and peeling. It was obvious that she had heatstroke.
"Changshun, your sister has suffered from heatstroke. You brothers should take her back first and ask your grandmother to wipe her down and make her a bowl of herbal tea to cool her down."
The three brothers nodded hurriedly, Jiang Changshun leaned over, and the two brothers supported Jiang Zhi and let her lie on Jiang Changshun's back.
Li originally wanted to send her daughter back, but after hearing what her father-in-law said, she thought: This piece of land is far from home, and several children can take turns carrying ginger branches to send her home. Even if the children go back, it is better than spending all their time in the fields to harvest grain. She only told Jiang Changshun to "send your sister home, and you should drink more herbal tea to cool off the heat."
Jiang Changping had wanted to go home for a long time. When he heard his grandfather say that he was going to send Jiang Zhi back, he rushed over and wanted to grab this good job: "Grandfather, I'm strong, I'll carry my sister home!"
Jiang Changhe was only seven years old. He was pushed by Jiang Changping and fell straight down. The back of his head hit the rice stubble. The newly cut rice stubble was as sharp as a knife. Jiang Changhe's head and neck were scratched with bloody marks, and he burst into tears.
Jiang Changshun, who was concentrating on carrying Jiang Zhi, was bumped by the boy and fell onto the rice stubble, with his hands and arms pierced by the rice stubble and bleeding.
Jiang Changli stopped playing with Jiang Changping after she was dragged by him to steal rabbits. Now she felt resentful when she saw her brother, sister and elder brother were all pushed down. She thought her sister had her brothers, why did she need Jiang Changping to carry her? Jiang Changping was not helping her, he was clearly trying to cheat.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changli was filled with anger and punched Jiang Changping down: "Why do you need to pretend to be kind? Everyone knows that you just want to be lazy!"
Jiang Youcai was not happy, "What are you doing? Sister-in-law, you don't care. Changping is kind enough to send Jiang Zhi home."
Li had been holding back her anger, not wanting to quarrel with her brother-in-law, but she didn't expect him to turn the tables so quickly. She went crazy and said, "How kind she is, so kind that she snatched my Jiangzhi from her brother? Changping is ten years old, not even as tall as my daughter, and he can carry my daughter two miles? Don't think I'm stupid and don't know his cunning mind? Look, look, the child's body is covered with thorns like a hornet's nest. Who did she offend? Is there any justice in the world?"
Seeing that they were about to start a fight, Old Man Jiang coughed heavily, "Stop crying. The children can't do much work in the fields, so you should take Changshun and her mother back home."
Only then did Li realize that they were outside and someone was watching them. After looking at her father-in-law's dark face, she immediately fell silent and returned home with her children.
Old Man Jiang looked at Jiang Changping, who was also covered in blood, and said to Jiang Youcai, "Don't stand there any longer. Hurry up and send this cart of rice back to your family. We will come back to harvest the rice."
Jiang Youcai pulled the cart, leading a man and a woman. He was not convinced. His parents favored the older one and favored the younger one. He was the one who suffered. He also found an excuse and said in a resentful manner: "Dad, Changping is like this. I won't come back after this trip today."
Qian, who was cooking at the Jiang family, saw Jiang Changping's face covered in blood and immediately went crazy and rushed towards Li. However, she was pregnant and could not defeat Li, who was also furious, and she was torn apart like a beggar by Li.
Liu yelled and scolded.
Next door, Jiang Xue ran in with a giggle: "Sister, go and listen, there's a fight going on over there, it's really lively."
Cai said: Then don't make a fuss, it's none of our business.
"Why is it none of our business? I just like to listen to their family quarrels."
Cai shook the sieve and thought, the children had been bullied badly in the past, now it would be nice to hear them making a fuss and feel better.
Jiang Xue was not satisfied with just listening to the conversation from the corner, so she simply climbed up the wall with a ladder. She immediately saw Li in the Jiang family yard with her hair loose and her eyes red: "Mom, did you hear clearly? My daughter, my own daughter, fainted from working at home! She fainted, so what? I'm fine. But what is that evil-hearted person showing off for? Didn't you see the blood on Changshun and Changli? Bah, it was all her son's fault."
Liu was so angry. Both of them were her grandchildren. How could she not feel sorry for them? Qian felt sorry for her son, but why didn't she feel sorry for the one in her belly? Why was she so mad? Li was also ignorant. Couldn't she take a step back?
"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Didn't you call the doctor? Go check on Zhi'er right away. Children don't have to take things lightly. It wasn't intentional. Didn't Changli push Changping? He's bleeding too!"
Qian cried, "That's right, my child is kind-hearted and feels sorry for his sister. Is Changhe so cruel? Look at the blood all over the child's face after being stabbed."
Li snorted coldly: "Do I have to compensate you?"
"What else? We were careless, but your Changhe did it on purpose. You are still young and you dare to attack your own brother. Won't you be lawless in the future? If you ask me, you have to control this child from a young age, otherwise if he gets into trouble in the future, it will be too late for you to regret it."
"Bitch, you are confusing right and wrong! How dare you curse my son? I'll tear your stinky mouth off!"
Li pounced on Qian again, pulled her hair and tried to slap her in the face.
Liu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She turned around and hit Li with a stick before she separated them.
The two daughters-in-law stared at her angrily, demanding an explanation.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Everyone in the yard was shocked. Why did Jiang Youtian come back?
Could there be some mistake in the examination for the scholar?
