I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 38 A Gentleman Should Do Something
Jiang Xue went home and called everyone together, and told them what happened angrily.
Cai was crying and wanted to curse, but her lips were trembling for a long time and she didn't know what to curse. Finally, she patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, we have separated."
Jiang Youshan's eyes were red as he held his head in his hands without saying anything. His hatred towards Liu was slowly growing in his heart. Although she was a stepmother and step-wean, how could she be so cruel? Wasn't this forcing his family to death? The child said it once, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just nonsense. But it had been so long, and the child said it again, how could it be false?
In fact, selling children is not uncommon. It is done when there is no way out and one cannot make ends meet. But Liu's family has dozens of acres of good land and a good family background. Otherwise, how could she support her son and grandson who are studying? Wouldn't she feel sorry for him if he was not her grandson?
Jiang Yue was calm and analyzed slowly: "Well, the old woman's calculations were good. She threw me into the wild forest and let me starve to death, and our family's reputation would be ruined. No matter what you do in the future, the villagers will only say that you, the parents, brought it upon yourselves. When your sister grows up, you can sell her for money, and her children's reputation will not be implicated. As for mother, she lost her child. If she makes a fuss, she will be driven away. If she doesn't make a fuss, she will continue to serve them like a slave, and she won't be able to survive for a few years. There are only three men left in the family, all of whom are laborers. Without a woman to take care of things, she can manage you openly. You will be destined to be farmhands for the rest of your lives! You will definitely not be able to find wives for my brother and me. This branch will slowly die out, and when the value of you is squeezed out, you will be kicked out of the house..."
Several people looked at each other. The analysis made sense, that was Liu's style, but why didn't Jiang Yue have a trace of sadness or condemnation in his tone?
Jiang Yue thought that to deal with such vicious people, one should give them back their own way. Cutting her flesh with a blunt knife would make her feel a little pain, and she would live better than she did.
Jiang Ming was so angry that he was panting: "No, we have to go and talk to them!"
Cai stopped him: "Why are you going? She will recognize you. We have stopped associating with each other for a long time. Just stay away from her from now on."
Jiang Yue looked at the three children who were aggrieved and angry, and wanted to let them vent their anger: "The old woman loves Jiang Youfang the most, how about we talk about her falling into the pit?"
"No."
"No."
Jiang Youshan and Cai said in unison with serious expressions.
Jiang Youshan turned his head to look at Cai and motioned for her to speak.
Cai thought, "Yue'er, don't tell anyone about that. If it gets out, not only will Jiang Youfang never get married, but it will also implicate the younger ones, and it will be difficult for them to get married in the future. This will harm someone's life, you must not do it!"
Jiang Yue was silent for a while, then said, "Didn't the old woman want to ruin our family forever?"
Cai thought about the wording for a while and said, "These are two different things. She wants to harm us, so she is bad. But we can't be bad people like her. Dad and mom just want you to live in peace and be good people. Good people will be rewarded. We won't do bad things, otherwise we will suffer retribution. Isn't the unrest in that family retribution now?"
Jiang Yue rolled her eyes. The original Jiang Yue was already dead. If she hadn't traveled through time, who knows what would have happened to her family now.
Her mother is so simple and kind, too much.
She has a headache.
A good person in Cai's mind is someone who will not hurt others. But she has never been, and will never be, a "good person" in Cai's eyes.
Jiang Ming began to show off his knowledge and explained to Jiang Yue: "Mother means that a gentleman should do what he should do and should not do what he should not do."
Jiang Yue sneered: "Even if you want to be a gentleman, you have to be a powerful gentleman, not a gentleman who allows others to bully you."
This pair of parents are even more gentlemanly than ordinary gentlemen. Not to mention this feudal society, even in her previous life, such honest people would have been bullied by you, right?
It would be unjust if you didn't bully such a person.
I always pick the softest persimmons to squeeze.
Jiang Yue waved to the children, "Come with me to the practice room."
Although Jiang Yue had a headache, she couldn't lose face for her mother in front of her. It was difficult for her mother and father to save the dough, so she taught the children secretly anyway, as the children listened to her.
Jiang Yue used the empty room in the east wing as a training room, where she taught several children boxing every day.
Cai was a little confused, "Dad, did I say something wrong?"
Jiang Youshan lifted a large stone and piled it on the half wall. He sniffed and said, "Maybe. If Yue'er hadn't gotten better suddenly, our family wouldn't have the good life we have now. What my daughter said makes sense. We may have been too good to each other. From now on, as long as the children don't do bad things, we should just ignore them and listen to them."
"Yeah, that's what I mean. With Mr. Cui teaching us, we should listen to Yue'er and feed the pigs and farm to make money."
Jiang Yue brought a few children into the empty house. A thick straw mat was spread on the ground. It was woven by Cai according to Jiang Yue's request.
Cai always responded to her requests and satisfied all her desires for a mother since childhood.
Several children took turns to warm up and punch. Jiang Yue suddenly asked:
"There might be bandits in our mountain. If they rob our village in the future, will you beg for mercy or resist?"
Jiang Ming's face was solemn: "If bandits really come, I will fight to the death to protect my parents and my younger siblings."
"You won't be a 'gentleman' then?"
"That's different. Bandits kill people!"
"Isn't that the old woman?"
Jiang Ming was stunned. That family didn't intend to kill his eldest sister in the first place. What was the difference between them and bandits?
Young Master Jiang Lei said, "Sister, I understand. We can't be soft-hearted to bad people."
Jiang Xue added: "You're right. You have to be a tough gentleman so that others won't dare to bully you."
Jiang Yue nodded with relief.
"Whether there are bandits in our mountain or not, there is a good chance that something fishy is going on. Don't go picking up stones in the future. And if you run into bandits, the most urgent thing is to escape. Life is more important than money. It's best if you can escape. If you can't, try to save your life first."
Several children nodded.
Jiang Yue then instructed: "Brother, if anyone has finished harvesting the autumn crops these days, please let us know. We are also harvesting stones."
Every household in the village has finished the autumn harvest, and everyone has a smile on their face. The weather is good this year, and it has been sunny for more than half a month. The harvest is also good this year, and the families can eat more white flour buns.
Jiang Yue went to the county town to deliver soap. Naturally, Taoxiage's soap sold very well. Ten bars of soap were sold out in one day, which was almost what Jiang Yue expected. This time she delivered thirty bars of soap, adding wild flowers from the field to it, which smelled faintly fragrant.
Shopkeeper He laughed sweetly, "Sister, you're here. Don't you know that the soap was sold out in one day? Can you deliver it every day in the future? Can you deliver more? We have branches all over the country in Taoxia Pavilion. This soap is so good. I want to discuss with the boss to sell it all over the country. Can you make more?"
Jiang Yue looked embarrassed: "Manager He, these formulas are not easy to come by. We can only supply so many at the moment, and we can only deliver once every five days. We can't have more."
Jiang Yue's words were a mixture of true and false. She wanted to sell the recipe as soon as possible, but she would definitely not bring it up first.
As a business accustomed person, Manager He must be very anxious these days. If she lets the other party be anxious for a while, she can strive for the greatest benefit in future negotiations.
