Jiang Nianwei frowned slightly, turned to Chunyu and asked, "Chunyu, have you seen who hung these two fish at the entrance of the cave?"

Chun Yu was also puzzled when she heard this. She shook her head and said softly, "Miss, I didn't see anyone coming."

At this moment, a loud noise broke the quiet atmosphere, and Jiang Siyu came over dragging a tall, thin, dark-skinned boy.

There seemed to be an indescribable tense atmosphere between the two of them. Jiang Siyu's voice was filled with obvious anger. She stared at the boy in front of her and said in a bad tone: "Why are you hiding here furtively, kid? What are your ulterior motives?"

He waved his hands repeatedly and stammered, "No, it's not like that. I really don't have any intentions. I just..."

Jiang Nianwei looked at the grouper, then at the embarrassed boy, "Did you hang this fish here?"

The young man broke free from Jiang Siyu's restraints and said to Jiang Nianwei: "You helped my mother last time, and today... today I came here to express my gratitude to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took advantage of the moment when Jiang Siyu was stunned, quickly lowered his head, and bit her arm.

Jiang Siyu screamed in pain and subconsciously let go of her hand. The young man took the opportunity to break free, made a funny face at her, and ran away.

Jiang Siyu lowered her head and stared at the teeth marks on the back of her hand, with a flash of anger in her eyes. "Could this guy really be born in the year of the dog? Humph, next time I catch him, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"

Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei could only shake her head gently, with a helpless smile on her lips, "Siyu, don't be angry, I know who he is, he actually has no ill intentions, he just came to deliver fish, look at these two groupers, they are so plump, we are in for a treat tonight."

Jiang Siyu looked at the two fat groupers, and the anger in her heart subsided a little, but the teeth marks on the back of her hand still reminded her of the unpleasant experience just now.

"Hmph, even if you're here to deliver fish, you can't be so rude!" Jiang Siyu muttered, but her tone was not as tough anymore.

"Or I'll make your favorite braised fish tonight! You have to try the taste of braised grouper!"

"Yeah."

The braised fish was fragrant, delicious, and had no fishy smell at all.

Just one bite and the delicious aroma will spread in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.

A satisfied smile appeared on her face, and the unhappiness in her heart gradually dissipated in this delicious enjoyment.

As she ate the fish, she kept muttering, "Even if they came specially to deliver the fish, why did they have to be so sneaky, like a thief?"

Jiang Nianwei explained: "Perhaps he has some unknown difficulties, so he has to act this way?"

……

As night fell, Jiang Nianwei held the walnut in her hand, closed her eyes, and entered the space.

Thinking of her sister-in-law's request during the day, she became worried. Fish maw and sheep intestines could be used, but they had a strong fishy smell and were easily infected with bacteria. It would be great if they could be exchanged for some modern things.

Since the fruits and vegetables we grow can be exchanged for modern medicines, I wonder if they can also be exchanged for other things.

As if sensing her thoughts, a line of words slowly appeared in the area that originally only displayed the information on drug exchange: [Small umbrella, need to exchange for a pound of pork. ]

Jiang Nianwei had stockpiled a lot of pork before, so she cut about a pound of meat and put it there. The pork disappeared instantly, and a box of Sun blockers appeared.

Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but feel delighted. This thing could not only prevent pregnancy, but also prevent some annoying gynecological diseases.

For her, having children is not about the quantity but the quality.

Since her sister-in-law had such an idea, she was naturally willing to lend a helping hand and give her a helping hand.

It was not until the next day that Jiang Siyu discovered what the so-called unspeakable secret was. It turned out that some of the young men exiled here would be sent to the sea to fish.

The young man from yesterday was one of them. His name was Duan Yun. Because of his agility and intelligence, he was sent out to catch sea fish.

But as prisoners, they had no wages and could not get any big fish. Basically, they could only get some worthless small fish. The rest of the big fish would be taken away by the officers and soldiers.

So he brought them the two big fish yesterday at great risk, to thank Jiang Nianwei for helping him get rid of the two soldiers who harassed his mother that day.

After learning the truth of all this, Jiang Siyu couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable guilt.

The two fish she ate were actually obtained by others at the risk of their lives.

She suddenly felt an indescribable curiosity about the young man named Duan Yun.

Although Duan Yun is only seventeen years old, he is already tall and strong. Long-term exposure to the sun has given his skin a healthy tan, adding a bit of masculinity that cannot be ignored.

Because he bit Jiang Siyu that day, his mother scolded him severely when he returned home. "If it weren't for the help of that girl's sister, I would have been bullied by those two. Don't treat others like this next time."

He lowered his head and whispered back, "Mom, I understand. I was in a desperate situation at the time, so I did that. I will definitely think of a better way in the future."

Jiang Nianwei was mature inside, but she was only twenty years old at that time, and outsiders didn't know that she had ever been married. When Wen Qingwan saw her that day, she had some subtle thoughts.

Duan Yun is already seventeen years old and it is time for him to get married. In this exile place on Nanzhou Island, young women of the right age are scarce, let alone finding one who is a good match for Duan Yun.

She saw that Jiang Nianwei was extremely intelligent. Although she was a little thin and her face was dirty so she couldn't see her features clearly, she liked her overall. If she could become her daughter-in-law, it would relieve Wen Qingwan's worries. Even if she died in the future, there would be someone to accompany her.

They had only arrived a few days ago and didn't know the situation on Nanzhou Island. If young girls like them were noticed by that group of officers and soldiers... the consequences would be disastrous.

Wen Qingwan sighed softly and said to Duan Yun, "Did you see the third wife of the Jiang family today? I heard that her father is the imperial censor Jiang Yan, and he had some friendship with your father in the past."

When she mentioned the past, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of melancholy and emotion in her tone, "If your father hadn't been in trouble, maybe you would have married and had children now, and lived an ordinary life."

"You're talking about her. I saw her today."

Wen Qingwan became interested after hearing this, "What do you think of Jiang Sanniang?"

Duan Yun heard this and shook his head slightly, saying casually, "What's the matter? Two eyes and a mouth, looks similar to other people."

He was not interested in getting married, and their conditions were so difficult now. Even if he wanted to marry a wife, how could he let her suffer in his home?

A real man should build a career and then start a family. In response to his mother's urging, he could only pretend not to understand and make jokes to get away with it.

"You are such a frivolous person, you little brat. Since we have been exiled here, we should live our lives peacefully. There are undercurrents in the court, and it may not be as safe as here."

Duan Yun frowned and replied dissatisfiedly: "Mother, those two beasts were almost rude to you. Do you think we can live in peace here? Besides, as a descendant of a general, how can I stay here and live a mediocre life? One day I will return to the battlefield and make great military achievements!"

Duan Yun secretly swore in his heart that he would skin and pull out the tendons of those two old beasts in the future! He not only wanted to seek justice for himself and his mother, but also to make those who once looked down on them look at them in a new light.

Wen Qingwan could only sigh. In terms of his stubborn temper, Duan Yun was exactly like his dead father. She could only enlighten him slowly.

……

Jiang Hao usually pretends to be stupid, but at this moment he gets along very well with a few officers and soldiers, two of whom are named Lao Qian and Sun Niu. Jiang Hao doesn't know anything else, but he is good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He hits it off with these two officers and soldiers, and they ask him for advice on how to have fun on this boring island.

What Jiang Hao didn't expect was that there were a large number of camp prostitutes here for the officers and soldiers to vent their sexual desires.

Whenever he thought of the carefree days of Jiang Nianwei and others, he always felt resentful. They had enough food, but were too stingy to give them any. Such selfishness and indifference made him feel resentful every time he thought of it.

And Jiang Nianwei, that woman, was against him everywhere, always trying to steal his limelight and make him lose face in front of everyone. She was just a woman, a divorced woman, and she dared to ride on his head so arrogantly. How could he tolerate this?

What's more, he still had fantasies about Le Yao, and always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to her and take advantage of her, but his plans were always ruined by that woman Jiang Nianwei. This feeling of frustration made his hatred for Jiang Nianwei even deeper.

Jiang Hao knew very well that Jiang Nianwei and her sister were not as ugly as they looked. Both of them had excellent looks. If he could induce them a little, those two soldiers...

Jiang Hao was thinking this in his mind, and he mentioned Jiang Nianwei intentionally or unintentionally.

But Old Qian waved his hand nonchalantly after hearing this, "Humph, how can she be so pretty with her looks? You haven't seen those camp prostitutes, they were also daughters of officials, with such beauty, and proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now they still have to serve us obediently, right? It's a pity that we can only touch them twice a month."

They were officers and soldiers of low status who had only two precious opportunities a month to go to the island where the camp prostitutes were located to seek a moment of pleasure. There were abundant iron ore resources there, and there were even more officers and soldiers stationed there.

Jiang Hao gently filled Lao Qian's glass of wine with a flattering smile on his face.

He whispered, "Sir, you don't know that my two cousins ​​are extremely beautiful. They just pretend to be ugly on purpose. But if you trust me, I have a way to let you see their true faces. I guarantee that you will be amazed."

When Lao Qian heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Jiang Hao, as if he was weighing something. Seeing this, Jiang Hao was delighted, knowing that his words had aroused Lao Qian's curiosity.

Sun Niu snorted coldly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Do you and your cousin have a deep hatred? Otherwise, why do you treat them like this? If those two were decent looking, they would definitely be sent to be camp prostitutes to serve men."

He secretly thought that if he could borrow the help of these two women, maybe they could be transferred to another island, where the environment was much better than here.

"You don't know, sir. I just hope you can take good care of me. Although they are my cousins, they are just women. I just hope you can remember me when you gain power."

"Then tomorrow I'd like to see how beautiful your two cousins ​​are and whether they are worth our attention!"

When Jiang Hao heard that his plan had succeeded, he was overjoyed. In addition, he could take back the leftover food of the two officers and soldiers and have a full meal.

When he walked past the unfinished stone house of Jiang Yan's family, a sneer involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He caught a glimpse of the chicken coop nearby and heard bursts of chirping sounds. He couldn't help but feel curious, so he moved closer.

I saw a few chicks that had not yet grown full feathers, huddled in a corner, chirping happily.

There was a gleam of contempt in his eyes, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He raised his foot and stepped down mercilessly. The two chicks screamed under his feet and finally fell silent.

"You still have the energy to raise chickens!" He sneered, "Now I've stepped on them to death."

……

The next morning, Jiang Nianwei walked to the chicken coop in the early morning light, only to see two chicks lying there, lifeless. Her brows couldn't help but furrowed.

Although she had only raised these two chicks for a few days, she had put a lot of effort into them.

Jiang Hao, who was passing by, saw Jiang Nianwei standing there dejectedly, his eyes fell on the dead chicken, "Cousin, look at this chicken, it died so tragically, unable to control its own fate, and could only be trampled to death by someone more powerful. Isn't it a bit like you?"

Jiang Nianwei's heart suddenly sank. She slowly raised her head and looked at Jiang Hao coldly.

"Cousin, my father didn't break up with you because you are a descendant of the Jiang family. Why did you do this?"

"Why? My father's death is closely related to your father's! Just wait and see! There will be something interesting to watch today!"

Since he said this, even if her father would blame her in the future, Jiang Nianwei could no longer tolerate it. She clenched her fists tightly, and her knuckles made a slight sound. "Okay, I want to see what good show there is to watch."

Jiang Nianwei buried the two chicks before rushing to the fields to dig ditches.

However, two soldiers had called the family aside. The soldier named Lao Qian was about to lift Jiang Siyu's chin, but was stopped by Jiang Lanxu. "Sir, my little sister is still young and ugly. I hope you can show some mercy and not embarrass her."

Old Qian's eyes moved between Jiang Nianwei and Jiang Siyu, with a hint of teasing and inquiry in his eyes, "You said you are ugly? I don't really believe that."

Sun Niu was direct. He stepped in front of Jiang Lanxu, raised his weapon, and easily pulled the two women to his side. "Today, I want to see for myself whether you two are really as ugly as the rumors say."
