Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

Wang Xiaohu hadn't left yet. He stepped forward, a little embarrassed, and said, "Hey, how could you talk bad about me behind my back!"

Jiang Yanchuan was startled, but still retorted, "That's right, it's all your fault for making my little sister have diarrhea."

Wang Xiaohu now realized he was wrong, and he had promised Jiang Qiao that he would not bully the Jiang family again: "Um, I'm sorry, I was not kind last time."

"Humph."

Children's friendships are simple.

Jiang Qiao took the sickle and led Jiang Yanchuan back, saying they wouldn't be back at noon. She asked Wang Xiaohu to inform Jiang's mother.

Jiang Yanchuan was covered in dirt. He splashed some cold water on himself and changed into a set of clothes that had fewer patches.

After getting ready, Jiang Yanchuan set off with Jiang Qiao.

The two were filled with curiosity along the way. They took an oxcart to town, which took two hours, and finally they arrived.

"Sister, what do you want to buy? I'll take you there."

Jiang Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, buy some daily necessities and food."

Jiang Yanchuan brought Jiang Qiao to the sales point.

The sales clerk had never seen such a pretty girl before, so she was very enthusiastic.

"Big sister, what kind of pastries do you have here?"

Here, pastries are something only wealthy families can afford.

"Of course, we have everything in our shop. Come with me and see which one you want. This is a sponge cake, this is a peach shortbread, and this is honey-glazed fried dough..."

Jiang Yanchuan couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw so much delicious food.

Jiang Qiao noticed that there were quite a few kinds of pastries here, but it was hot now, and she wouldn't be able to store them all if she bought too many.

"Then let's have a pound of sponge cake, a pound of peach shortbread, and a pound of mung bean cake!"

Jiang Qiao bought two more handkerchiefs and a washbasin.

"A total of two dollars and eighty-five cents."

Jiang Qiao was surprised. How could it be so cheap? It seems that Gao Jiajia must have been heartbroken when she asked him for five yuan on the train that day!

She paid and took Jiang Yanchuan away.

It was already noon, so Jiang Qiao found a noodle stall and ordered two large bowls of beef noodles.

Jiang Yanchuan's eyes lit up as he looked at the fragrant noodles in front of him, but he still didn't touch them: "Sister, this is the first time I've eaten in town. My older brother said that the food in town is expensive, and every time we come to town to sell things, we eat cornbread."

"Then you should eat quickly!"

"Mm." Jiang Yanchuan picked the beef from his bowl and put it into Jiang Qiao's bowl.

As Jiang Qiao watched the boy's actions, blurry fragments of memory appeared in her mind. She seemed to be snatching food from a boy's bowl, and the two were constantly playing around. Was this her memory?

【Wangcai, did you find out?】

Wangcai didn't dare to say it. He had just asked his supervisor, who said not to concern himself with important matters, so this young man was no ordinary person.

[Host, you're overthinking it. He's just an ordinary kid. Don't worry about it.]

【Oh. 】

Jiang Qiao put the meat back in the bowl: "Eat more meat, grow taller, look how skinny you are."

"Sister, you're so good to me, but I'm still young. If you like me, you'll have to wait a few more years." He wanted to grow up quickly.

Jiang Qiao: ...Young man, you've misunderstood. I've taken a liking to your brother.

-

Wang Xiaohu took his work very seriously. He ran to the cornfield and found Jiang's mother: "Hey, your Jiang Yanchuan went to town with Jiang Zhiqing. She asked me to tell you."

Before Jiang's mother could react, he tried to run away after speaking, but Li Min called out to him, "Tiger? What are you doing here? Did you skip class again?"

When Wang Xiaohu saw his mother's face, he was about to run away when Li Min put down the corn in her hand and caught him: "Are you asking for a beating? I spent so much money to send you to school, and you're skipping class. Don't you know that some families don't even have the money to send their children to school?"

After saying that, he glanced at Jiang's mother.

Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother remained silent, knowing full well that Li Min was alluding to her.

Some people used to say she was foolish for sending a girl to school while leaving a son at home to work. Of course, she felt guilty, but the family was just too poor.

The little incident passed just like that.

……

Jiang Yanchuan ate with great relish, and soon finished the bowl of noodles. The beef noodles were really delicious.

Jiang Qiao chuckled as she looked at him, then took out another piece of sponge cake and gave it to him: "Eat up!"

Jiang Yanchuan felt embarrassed, as he had already eaten a lot: "Sister, I'm not eating anymore, I'm already full."

Jiang Qiao thought about it and realized that eating too much was indeed not good, so she put the sponge cake back.

"Let's go then. Let's go to the farmers' market. I'll go buy some meat. I'll show you how to cook tonight. You lead the way!"

"Okay." Jiang Yanchuan picked up the package and stood up.

Jiang Qiao didn't stop them and followed Jiang Yanchuan.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Gao Jiajia, Cao Keyu, and Lin Zhiyi on the way, and the three of them chatted and laughed.

Gao Jiajia successfully moved into Lin Zhiyi's house, feeling quite smug. She never expected that she could actually change the plot; it turned out that everything the female lead had was now up for grabs.

Gao Jiajia noticed Jiang Qiao and saw a dark-skinned little boy next to her. She had inquired about it herself and found that Jiang Qiao lived in the Jiang family's house at the east end of the village. She carefully recalled the plot and realized that there was no important person with the surname Jiang.

"Jiajia, look! Isn't that the girl who wouldn't give up her seat for you on the train?" Cao Keyu said, linking arms with Gao Jiajia.

Lin Zhiyi followed Cao Keyu's gaze and saw a young girl with a fair and delicate face, a slender figure, and a graceful posture, like a flawless piece of jade.

Seeing Lin Zhiyi's amazed expression, Gao Jiajia's eyes flashed with a hint of malice. Would the male lead still be involuntarily attracted to the female lead? But now, it was Gao Jiajia who was taking the female lead's route.

She looked at Lin Zhiyi and teased, "Brother Lin, do you also think Qiaoqiao is pretty? We were high school classmates. Back then, a lot of boys pursued her in school. They would bring her lots of food every day, and her desk was overflowing. In the end, I had to help her with the food."

Lin Zhiyi withdrew his gaze, his eyes suddenly turning disgusted. She was good-looking, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless, accepting gifts from others without question. She was truly a gold digger.

Gao Jiajia noticed the disdain in Lin Zhiyi's eyes.

She walked quickly to Jiang Qiao and pretended to be familiar with her: "Qiao Qiao, what a coincidence that you're here too!"

Jiang Qiao was initially too lazy to pay attention to her, but since she had come to greet her personally, she was going to tear off the mask of civility herself, since the two of them would never be able to get along normally again.

"Gao Jiajia, stop trying to get close to me like that. Let's break up. You don't deserve to be my friend. I've seen your true colors now. You framed me back in school. I've figured it out now. You deliberately sent me to the countryside to suffer with you."

Gao Jiajia was really surprised that Jiang Qiao would say that. Wasn't she supposed to be a naive and innocent female lead? How come she's so smart now? A strange feeling welled up in her heart.
