It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

How did Jiang Yan realize something was wrong?

These days, she made an appointment with Jiang Ying, Jiang Nian and others to go work in the fields east of the village.

After lunch today, Jiang Yan and Jiang Ying stopped by Jiang Nian's house to call her to leave when they ran into Grandpa Jiang Wang and Uncle Jiang Fa who were looking for Aunt Yu Qian to discuss something.

Jiang Yan saw that the two men had a solemn expression on their faces that she hadn't seen in a long time... What happened again?

When I went to the fields again, I saw that Jiang Hu, who usually worked very quickly and efficiently, was now working very slowly, and the people around him were also very listless...

Could it be that they had gotten into some serious trouble? Jiang Ying and Jiang Nian noticed something unusual without Jiang Yan reminding them.

A work place wasn't a good place to ask questions. Jiang Yan and the others suppressed their curiosity and waited until everyone had gone home. They intercepted Jiang Yuan at the door of Jiang Nian's house and dragged him into a corner of the house where few people passed by.

Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Nian standing in front of him with his hands on his hips, with Jiang Yan and Jiang Ying standing on either side, both of them with their sleeves rolled up:

"Jiang Nian, what do you want from me?" Jiang Yuan frowned unconsciously and asked his sister, whom he was most familiar with.

Jiang Nian's voice was even gentler than his personality, and the pretentiousness he put on collapsed as soon as he opened his mouth: "Brother, have you guys gotten into trouble?"

"Nothing. I stayed in the village all day and didn't go anywhere." Jiang Yuan didn't think he had caused any trouble.

"Then why are you all more abnormal than each other today?"

"What's wrong with that? We've always been like this."

"Everything is wrong. You used to work so energetically, but today you're so listless!"

"That's because we've been working for so long and we're tired."

……

Jiang Nian was no match for Jiang Yuan, and was constantly being circumvented without getting to the point. During the conversation, Jiang Yan and Jiang Ying were even urged by Jiang Yuan to hurry home for dinner...

"What did you find in the mountains at noon?" Jiang Yan decided to go out with her sisters.

"How do you know?" Jiang Yuan retorted reflexively.

"I saw you guys going in. Not only do I know this, but everyone in the village knows that you don't rest at noon every day and go into the mountains to look for gold sand."

"..." Jiang Yuan was suddenly speechless.

Seeing him silent, Jiang Yan thought for a moment before continuing, "When you came back from the mountains a few days ago, you were all very excited and working in the fields with great enthusiasm. But today, not only did you come back early, but you also looked dazed and sad from time to time. It's obvious that something happened."

"Plus, Grandpa Jiang Wang and Uncle went to your mother to discuss something this afternoon, and they had similar expressions... It must be related to you."

"Brother, please tell us what happened?" After Jiang Yan finished his analysis, Jiang Nian quickly followed up with a coquettish tone.

Jiang Ying was also watching eagerly from the side.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to talk about it, and he didn't know if he could tell anyone. He'd tried to gloss over it at first, but now he couldn't...

"If you really want to know, go ask Grandpa Jiang Wang. I'll tell you if he agrees."

When they heard that they were going to ask Jiang Wang, Jiang Nian and Jiang Ying hesitated a little.

"He asked for confidentiality?" Jiang Yan was also a little hesitant.

"No." Although Jiang Yuan felt that it was necessary to keep it a secret, it was just his own idea. Jiang Wang did not say that.

"You really don't want to say it?"

"I really don't want to tell you."

Jiang Yan gave up, pulled Jiang Nian and Jiang Ying, turned around and walked out.

"It's getting late, where are you going?" Jiang Yuan caught up.

"Go home for dinner. Then go find Grandpa Jiang Wang." Jiang Yan felt that she had always been a person with a little curiosity, but not too much, and would never ask about things she didn't want to know.

But now, Jiang Yuan was so tight-lipped that he refused to talk about something she hadn't asked to keep secret, which made her feel uncomfortable. Her curiosity was growing, and if she didn't figure it out, she would have a sleepless night.
