Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 31: Night of Vigil (3)

Jiang Baochai shot herself in the foot. She couldn't just leave at this time, so she teamed up with Jiang Xiaocao to spread rumors. She didn't expect that they would come back.

Xiao Chunya continued to eat melons. "It turned out that Jiang Baochai was the one who proposed the drama of recognizing one's ancestors. If Jiang Baochai hadn't made trouble, Jiang Ziheng would have been included in the genealogy of Jiang Rong's family. He would have passed the county examination smoothly and became a student, becoming the only scholar in the village. Jiang Baochai didn't know at all that grandma's brother Tian Bao was really a piece of shit, but the Tian family was a big clan with a fourth-rank military commander in the court. How could grandma tolerate a concubine's son pretending to be a legitimate son!"

"Fortunately, grandma didn't agree. This family is full of ungrateful people. They provided them with food, clothing, and education, but they kept blackmailing my father and mother like vampires. Oh, it was Jiang Baochai and Jiang Xiaocao who spread rumors in the village, saying that my brother and I were unfilial and didn't come back to guard the body. They wanted to use this as an excuse to let the clan leader record Jiang Ji in the family tree. Tsk, what a beautiful thought."

"Wow! Big news! Tomorrow a businessman will come to repay his kindness. Jiang Baochai wants to confuse the public and let Jiang Ji pretend to be A'da's credit. We must not let her succeed. Jiang Baochai will perform a fainting scene at the funeral tomorrow. She will faint when she sees Master Mingyue appear, and then shamelessly get involved with Master Mingyue, and finally become Master Mingyue's concubine in some way or another."

The face of Mr. Mingyue next door turned black. This mean woman was not even worthy of carrying his shoes! As a neighbor next door, he would come to burn incense when Jiang Tang and Tian Shi held funerals. His guards, servants, maids, and old women were not just for show.

Young Master Mingyue gave a few instructions to Nineteen, and Nineteen and the two servants took out a few things and passed through the small door. They set up a shelf on the wall with a lot of clanging sounds, and a quarter of an hour later, a small tent appeared.

Zhao Erlang's family hid in a small tent, with the adults blocking the front. Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin were sleeping inside, so people on the opposite side couldn't see them.

A cold wind blew, and the four people opposite shivered. They could only huddle together as much as possible to keep warm. They always felt that there were countless eyes watching them.

In the small tent, Zhao Erlang and Zhao Wulang were blocking the exit and talking in low voices. Xiao Chunya and Xiao Qiulin were huddled together against the wall, wrapped in small blankets, and gradually fell asleep because they were so sleepy.

Jiang Baochai's eyes rolled around, and she immediately came up with a plan. She pretended to go to the toilet, then let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground. Her series of actions were intentional, and her purpose was to attract the attention of those who loved to watch the fun in the village, so that they would naturally notice that Zhao Erlang and others were hiding in the small tent to keep vigil.

However, things went against her wishes. Although she fell and screamed, the people in the yard seemed to have heard nothing. Then, something even more terrifying happened - she suddenly felt like she was trapped in an invisible cage. No matter which direction she tried to move forward, she couldn't take a single step.

Jiang Baochai was extremely anxious and began to beat the air around her desperately, shouting for help at the top of her lungs. Fear gradually took over her heart, and finally, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

At this moment, a hand slapped her in the face! Diao glared at her angrily and said, "Why are you yelling in the middle of the night?" Her beloved son had just fallen asleep and was woken up by a ghost. Could it be that this little bitch was possessed by a ghost?

"Get out of the way!" Jiang Ji said with disgust, thinking in his heart that he could sell this cheap girl. He would not be able to get a high price if he sold her to someone else as a child bride, and the price would be higher if he sold her to a brothel.

Jiang Baochai was still in the dark at this time, and had no idea that her biological father was planning to sell her to a brothel to become a prostitute. However, after being slapped hard by Diao, she instantly understood the true attitude of her parents towards her. These ignorant people did not deserve her wisdom and help at all, and they deserved to be so poor.

Jiang Baochai knew that she had a chance to start over, and she had a magical space in her hand that could allow her to farm. So she made up her mind and resolutely decided to steal the ten taels of silver left by the dead old man. The plan was set, and she would escape tomorrow when the situation fell into chaos! As for those stupid family members, let them leave it to fate and fend for themselves!

Xiao Chunya slept comfortably in the tent and had a strange dream. In the dream, she was about eleven or twelve years old and was trapped in a strange place. She pulled out a piece of grass at random and found a vine with a golden gourd as big as her thumb hanging from it, as if hanging from the sky.

Xiao Chunya picked one and ate it. A pair of large transparent wings appeared on her body, and then she flew out into the sky... She saw the South Gate of Heaven, the Yaochi, and the Lingxiao Palace. The sky was silent and no one was there. The sun was not visible, and it was gray and eerie. She was a little scared and turned around and ran away.

The sky was hazy, and Eighteen or Nineteen came to take away the small tent. A cold wind blew and Xiao Chunya woke up. Her head was a little swollen and her eyes were a little blurry.

"Baby having a nightmare?"

"Dad, I just grew a pair of wings and flew up to the sky. I went to the Heavenly Palace and it was very quiet. I felt a pair of big hands trying to strangle my neck. I tried my best to fly back. Just as I saw the hands were about to strangle my neck, I suddenly woke up." Xiao Chunya was very confused. "Why did I have such a strange dream?"

Xiao Qiulin said, "Dreams and reality are opposites. For example, if you like to eat chicken legs, you definitely can't eat them in your dreams."

It would have been fine if Xiao Chunya didn't hear about the big chicken leg, but as soon as she heard about the big chicken leg, her stomach growled with hunger. If she could bear it a little longer, according to custom, she could eat meat as long as the funeral was held, but she didn't know how she would have survived the 3, 5, or 7 days of vigil?

After washing up and going to the toilet, steaming hot buns were delivered from next door. Jiang Ji's family shamelessly reached out for them, but they didn't dare to ask for more and only took one.

There is a steamed bun stall at the entrance of Xiaowang village. Each bun costs one cent. Although it is only four cents, Jiang Ji's family is reluctant to pay for it. They take advantage of others without blinking an eye. It shows how bad their character is!

"Thank you Nineteen, the steamed buns he makes are delicious." Xiao Chunya said, "I'll send you two kilograms of flour when my grandfather grinds the wheat. When Eighteen is free, please give the toys to Li Datou and Luo Xiaopang for us. We can't visit other people's homes during this period, and they must be waiting anxiously."

Eighteen agreed and returned to the yard without saying anything else. What was so good about the steamed buns made by Nineteen? The buns he made were the most delicious!
