The Little Lucky Girl of the Hunter Family

Chapter 41: Poverty and Destitution, Even Bugs Are Not Spared

Wei Chengye had originally intended to warn Jiang Yao that it was very dangerous to catch insects with your hands, but when he heard this, he was choked and couldn't say anything.

Jiang Yao saw through Wei Chengye's thoughts, reached out and gently pushed his arm, and said without fear.

"Don't worry, I recognized it the moment I caught it."

"Yes."

Although what the other party said made sense, Jiang Yao felt that the other party was suspicious of her. After thinking about it, she added another sentence.

"Before Jiang Xuean beat me and didn't let me eat, I would sneak into the mountains to look for food by myself."

"Once during a barbecue, a stupid monkey accidentally fell into the flames. I was going to use a small stick to get him down, but I smelled a strange smell, so I..."

"Hmm? You are quite generous." Wei Chengye looked at Jiang Yao, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Don't do this again. It may not help you much, but at least it will give you a full meal. Just ignore it, it can't be eaten."

"Why?" Jiang Yao was a little confused. She hadn't tasted this kind of flavor for a long time and was about to buy some more.

Besides, since they can cook, they always have lard at home. After returning home, they can have a plate of fried cicada shells, which is so delicious!

What Wei Chengye didn't know was that she was still trying to figure out whether she could manage the oil at home, and he was just explaining it to her carefully.

"It's a pest. Some of the trees in our village have been destroyed by it. They have also died and are inedible."

During Wei Chengye's narration, Jiang Yao seemed to recall some past events.

It was because of the harm that the cicada monkey caused to crops that the cicada became extremely vicious and was once the most disgusting insect in the village.

In such an environment, everyone wants to kill them, so who would think about how to swallow them?

Maybe they think this stuff is poisonous and will make people sick.

Jiang Yao sighed in her heart and gently pushed Wei Chengye's arm.

"I can assure you that it is edible. Come with me to catch a few and I will make you a delicious meal."

Since she needed help, Jiang Yao's voice softened unconsciously, and her big watery eyes blinked unconsciously.

Wei Chengye really couldn't persuade Jiang Yao, so he put the things in his hands aside and went to catch cicadas with Jiang Yao.

This time, neither of them stopped.

If there weren't girls here, she might not have accepted it. Besides, it was almost dark now, so she might have caught a few more.

No, just this one? Next time, she must trick Wei Chengye over.

Just as she was thinking about it, a slightly arrogant voice of a middle-aged woman sounded in her ears.

"Jiang Yao? What were you carrying when you came back? Such a big bag, pitch black, so scary!"

Jiang Yao looked back upon hearing this, and indeed saw two women walking side by side, one slightly behind, seemingly lacking confidence, or having no intention of joining the others.

For a moment, she couldn't remember the identities of these two people. While recalling, Jiang Yao picked up the book in her hand.

"This is a cicada that was just caught. It's very fresh."

Upon hearing that it was a cicada, the leading woman took a few steps back with a look of disgust on her face, and her tone became a little higher.

"You little bastard, why do you need so many bugs? Come on, stay away from me! It's disgusting!"

Hearing this sharp cry, Jiang Yao immediately thought of the two women in front of her.

The one walking in front was Qian. She was also born in the countryside, and she always thought that her hometown village was wealthier. She always had a sense of superiority and often looked down on others.

Following behind her was her second aunt, Feng, who had a gentle personality but was very obedient and hardworking.

He hadn't seen these two people for many years, no wonder he didn't recognize them before.

After all, she is their own relative. Now that she wants to live with grandma, she needs the approval of her two uncles. Jiang Yao seemed not to notice the disdain in Qian's eyes.

But she did not take the thing in her hand back. Instead, she deliberately pushed the thing in her hand forward. The smile on her face was brighter than the sun in the daytime.

"Aunt, don't just look at the appearance. Although this dish is ugly, it tastes very good. Do you want to go home with me for a meal?"

It's nauseating just looking at it, how can I swallow it?

Qian hated these insects that were everywhere.

"No, it's so late now, your uncle and the others are at home cooking, I have to go home to eat, so I don't have to cook at home."

Having said that, Qian had other thoughts in mind.

From now on, I must keep my uncle away from Mrs. Lu. She can even eat such disgusting things, she is so pitiful!

After saying that, Qian hurried back without even saying hello, as if Jiang Yao would ask her for money if she stayed any longer.

Feng, who was left behind, sighed, walked over to Jiang Yao, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted her: "Your aunt is just like that, don't take it to heart, she won't mind you."

"Well, Second Aunt, do you want to go with us? Jiang Yao still has a good impression of Second Aunt, especially now that Second Aunt has coaxed her like this, she likes her even more.

Seeing Jiang Yao's sincere invitation, and seeing that she hadn't been back to visit her mother-in-law for a while, Feng nodded, with a hint of heartache in her gentle tone.

"You go out, I'll go home and deal with it, and then come back."

"Okay, wait for Second Aunt to come and we'll have dinner together."

"Row."

The two turned and left. Master Feng turned to look at Jiang Yao not far away, feeling helpless.

"She's pretty miserable. She's so young, and she has to feed a large group of people. Otherwise, she wouldn't eat insects."

Thinking of this, Feng felt even more heartbroken and quickened her pace.

Jiang Yao never imagined that it was this bag of bugs that caused their family to fall into the eyes of the two aunts.

After returning home, she picked up some chestnuts and some cicadas.

When Old Lady Lu saw Jiang Yao coming back with a bag of worms, she seemed a little resentful.

But when she thought about how she had just been slapped, she kept silent and watched Jiang Yao cook in silence.

There are too many chestnuts and monkeys, and Jiang Yao can’t handle them all by herself.

When the three sisters and Mrs. Lu saw this, they all came over to help.

But when his eyes fell on the cicada, he was startled.

"Sister, are we so poor that we have to eat even bugs?"
