Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

Chapter 276 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 17

Jiang Yueshu squinted her eyes and carefully felt the juicy grapes. This feeling - was somewhat familiar.

She thought about it, then picked out some grapes and vegetables from the basket and asked the price.

When Zhao Xue saw that the other party was ready to buy, she couldn't help but feel happy and tentatively said a price. Of course, she compared it to other things because she didn't know how to set the price.

Jiang Yueshu winked at Cheng Shuo and said silently, "Bargain."

Cheng Shuo understood, so he also picked some and packed them up, then started to negotiate with the stall owner.

Although he usually spoke very rudely, he had learned some skills to speak differently to different people because he had been doing business in the black market for many years, so he was able to chop the beasts smoothly again and again in a short while.

In the end, the two successfully completed the transaction at a low price.

Seeing that Jiang Yueshu had no intention of staying here any longer, Cheng Shuo pulled her back to the village.

The two of them left the town and there were no one around on the road, so Jiang Yueshu and Cheng Shuo started talking.

"The grapes I just saw tasted pretty good. If I wasn't afraid that they would go bad, I would have bought some more. The price is also reasonable." Cheng Shuo said happily.

Although he didn't know why that person could take out grapes at this time, they tasted extremely sweet and delicious. He had been eating them for such a long time and nothing happened. He would go back and let his sister and mother try them. They would definitely like them.

Jiang Yueshu also nodded, "Yeah, not bad."

How can the grapes irrigated by the spiritual spring not taste good?

"It's just so strange that there are grapes in this season? I don't know if I can come across them next time..." Cheng Shuo said again.

Jiang Yueshu replied meaningfully, "If you go at the right time, you will get it."

"What a coincidence? Are you saying that person will go next time? But we don't know when he will go?" Cheng Shuo wondered.

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Ah?" Cheng Shuo was even more confused.

Did Jiang Erya know? Why did she go back and tell him?

But since she doesn't want to say it for now, let's not talk about it.

Cheng Shuo looked at the road ahead and recalled everything that had happened during the day.

First of all, Jiang Erya’s face-covering technique was so good that if she hadn’t asked him to do so, he would definitely not have recognized her.

And her sudden ankle sprain in the state-owned restaurant—

"How's your foot? Does it still hurt?"

Jiang Yueshu, who was originally looking at the scenery around her, suddenly heard Cheng Shuo's sudden question and was still unable to react.

"Feet? What's wrong with my feet?"

"Didn't you sprain your ankle?" Cheng Shuo asked anxiously, and directly squeezed the front brake on the handlebar to prepare to get out of the car.

"Oh? Well, the doctor fixed my bone, and now it doesn't hurt at all. It's okay, you don't have to come down." Jiang Yueshu suddenly realized.

"Then... have you been in pain all afternoon?" Cheng Shuo got out of the car stubbornly, looked at Jiang Yueshu's ankle, and asked with a frown.

Although he knew that Arya's talk about catching a thief was fake, her sprain was real!

After all, that was what the town doctor said himself!

Could it be that she was injured in the morning, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud, so she endured the pain and went to the state-owned restaurant with him?

When he thought of this, Cheng Shuo felt a rare sense of self-blame. Erya was obviously in so much pain, and she had endured it all the way, but he didn't even notice it!

"No, I just did it!" Jiang Yueshu said calmly, "I did it when everyone was discussing it enthusiastically!"

Cheng Shuo was a little dumbfounded, "Did you twist it suddenly?"

"Yes, this is the most effective way to block Zhao Xue's mouth!" Jiang Yueshu said indifferently.

Cheng Shuo remained silent, his tone somewhat low, "Don't do this next time! You're hurting yourself!"

"Oh." Jiang Yueshu touched her nose, knowing that Cheng Shuo was concerned about her.

Cheng Shuo remained motionless, staring stubbornly at Jiang Yueshu's ankle, "Does it really not hurt?"

"Really!" Jiang Yueshu emphasized again and again.

"Then let me take a look, and make sure it doesn't swell again." Cheng Shuo pursed his lips, parked the car there, and half-knelt down.

Seeing his stubborn look, Jiang Yueshu reluctantly lifted up her trouser leg to let him see.

Cheng Shuo gently pulled the trouser leg closer and looked at that place carefully. It looked white and tender. Apart from being a little thin with blue veins exposed and bones protruding, there was not even any redness or swelling.

Now, Cheng Shuo was finally relieved, but he kept thinking in his heart, she is so thin!

"Are you okay? I told you it's okay, right?" Jiang Yueshu felt the hot breath from the man spraying on her ankles, and a somewhat uncomfortable voice came from her.

Only then did Cheng Shuo realize that he had been staring at the other person's ankles without realizing it, and had been so close to her. He quickly turned his head away and let Jiang Yueshu's trouser legs down.

"Yeah, it's really okay." He was so scared that he didn't dare to look Jiang Yueshu in the eye.

As he mechanically pedaled home, the conversation between the two kept echoing in his mind, and the whiteness flashed across his brain from time to time.

After blowing in the wind for a long time, his distracting thoughts finally dissipated, and the tips of his ears were no longer red. The tall man in front of him whispered, "Thank you!"

He knew that everything she did was for him.

It was because of Zhao Xue’s words, because she was protecting him.

Feeling the wind blowing on his face, Cheng Shuo faintly felt the sweetness left by the grape, which lasted for so long.

That night, Jiang Yueshu still stayed at Cheng's house for dinner. Cheng Shuo's cooking skills were as mouth-watering as ever, which was really exciting.

Thinking about her current situation, she even wanted to learn from others.

The next day, Jiang Yueshu began her recuperation life again. In addition to doing some light work every day, she would go to Doctor Zhang and then go up the mountain to pick herbs.

By now, almost everyone in the entire Xinghua Village knew that Jiang Erya was sick and could not do heavy work. The Jiang family didn't care and didn't pay her, so Jiang Erya followed Doctor Zhang to learn how to identify herbs and went up the mountain to dig herbs to treat her illness.

Having said that, most people are not optimistic about it.

There are so many herbs, and it would be a big deal if you recognized the wrong one. In addition, in the early years, many people were thinking of digging herbs to sell for money, so the ones on the periphery have been basically picked clean. If you want to find them, you probably have to go deep into the mountains. This is destined to be an extremely long and difficult process.

This disease cannot wait for anyone, and people cannot wait for medicine!

Although most people felt extremely sympathetic towards this poor girl, sympathy was useless in this era. They had no extra food at home and could not do anything to help except giving some moral support.

But what Jiang Yueshu needs is their spiritual support!

When she is pitiful enough and useless enough, she will be abandoned or taken in.

This was her initial thought. Because she was weak, she could only leave the Jiang family little by little.

But now, Jiang Yueshu seemed to have glimpsed a glimpse of opportunity.

That day she asked Cheng Shuo to help find Hao Zhi to find out about the man's situation.

Unexpectedly, the next afternoon, Jiang Yueshu ran into Cheng Shuo, who had come to the mountain specifically for her.

When Jiang Yueshu heard that Cheng Shuo had specifically called Hao Zhi, she immediately followed Cheng Shuo to Cheng's house.

In the Cheng family courtyard, as soon as they met, Hao Zhi patted his chest and promised, "Comrade Jiang, I heard from Brother Cheng. I came here today and asked the villagers about it. Basically, they know everything. What do you want to know? Just ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

"Great!" Jiang Yueshu's eyes lit up and she gave Cheng Shuo an admiring look, then looked at Hao Zhi with curiosity.

Cheng Shuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, quietly moved closer between the two of them, and inserted himself in.

According to Hao Zhi, Wang Chaoyang was indeed the only worker in their Lianhua Village. Just because of this title, many middle-aged women and young men in the village gossiped about him.

Wang Chaoyang is a man with enviable luck. When they talk about him on a daily basis, they are mostly jealous and envious.

The old people in the village said that Wang Chaoyang's family conditions were very ordinary when he was a child. There were only him and his old mother at home. With such family conditions, girls from better families would naturally not want to marry into his family.

His mother was worried about the Wang family's incense supply, so she proposed to a girl who liked Wang Chaoyang but was not particularly good-looking or had a good figure. The other party agreed, and he got married.

Fortunately, a few years after his marriage, he unexpectedly saved a noble person. Because of this, he was recommended to work at the Changming Garment Factory in the town. After becoming a formal employee of the factory, the Wang family's life gradually improved, which was enviable.

As a result, Wang Chaoyang's original wife was no longer good enough. She was ugly and rough, and she was not loved by her husband. At that time, everyone in the village thought that Wang Chaoyang would divorce his wife and remarry.

But because Wang's mother was a bit superstitious, she believed that her daughter-in-law would bring good luck to her husband and family, and thought that all the success of the Wang family was brought about by her, so naturally she did not agree with Wang Chaoyang's request for divorce.

Wang Chaoyang had been vehemently opposed at the beginning, and the mother and son had quarreled several times over this matter. When the situation was serious, Wang's mother fainted several times. Later, for some unknown reason, Wang Chaoyang suddenly gave up the idea of ​​divorce and never quarreled for divorce all day long, although his attitude towards his wife was still as bad as before.

At this point, Hao Zhi frowned with some disdain and sighed.

Jiang Yueshu was curious and couldn't help asking him, "What happened?"

Hao Zhi looked up and said, "This Wang Chaoyang is indeed lucky, but he is not a good person. He is just a pretentious person."

"I once passed by their home and heard a man and a woman screaming and crying. I didn't know what was going on at the time, but the next day I heard that his wife went to work in the hot summer, covered up tightly. I heard that her arms were covered with red marks. Didn't she get beaten?"

When Cheng Shuo next to him heard this, he suddenly glanced at Jiang Yueshu, then lowered his eyes.

"Anyway, everyone in the village knows Wang Chaoyang. He's a regular worker in a garment factory, earning dozens of yuan a month. He's dressed brightly and looks like a decent person, and doesn't look like a villager at all. But his wife and children wear coarse clothes with patches all over them. To put it bluntly, when the couple stand together, they don't look like a couple, but more like a mother and son."

Hao Zhi snorted with disdain, seeming to be extremely disdainful.

"And Xiaohu, he is the couple's child, the only child of the Wang family, and he is the same age as me. Do you know how tall he is? He is half a head shorter than me, and he is skinny and small, and looks like he was born with a congenital defect. To be honest, what's the difference between him and the kid whose father died?"

"It's the same whether I have a father or not. No, maybe I'll be better off without this father!"

At this point, Hao Zhi seemed to have opened up a chatterbox and kept talking angrily.

Seeing that he had changed the subject, Cheng Shuo seemed to have heard Erya's past experiences, so he quietly poked Hao Zhi with his elbow.

Only then did Hao Zhi realize that he had gone too far, and he simply summed it up with a swear word.

"This Wang Chaoyang is really a piece of shit, a big idiot!"

Jiang Yueshu nodded, "You're right! He is really a piece of shit!"

Hao Zhi seemed to have found a confidant. His eyes lit up and he hurled a barrage of swear words at Wang Chaoyang again.

Jiang Yueshu listened quietly and compared the Wang Chaoyang he described with the man who was extremely gentle to Liu Hongjuan and her daughter that day. She just wanted to say, you really can't judge a person by his appearance.

Such a person is actually a domestic violence man!

But why is he so nice to Liu Hongjuan and her daughter?

They are obviously already married, but they are still willing to spend money to accompany other people's mother and daughter shopping. It would be strange if there is no fishy thing going on.

"Liu, is there anyone with the surname Liu in your village?" Jiang Yueshu asked suddenly.

Hao Zhi said "Ah" and nodded, "Yes, there are only two or three."

"Have you ever heard of the name Liu Hongjuan?"

She only knew that Liu Hongjuan was from a nearby village and had never followed her back to her parents' home in previous years. She only met her family once on the day Jiang Aiguo and Liu Hongjuan got married, and was not sure that she and Wang Chaoyang were from the same village.

Cheng Shuo's eyes flashed. Liu Hongjuan was her stepmother.

"Liu Hongjuan..." Hao Zhi muttered, searching his mind, "It seems like there is, but I'm not too sure."

After all, they are not of his generation, and not everyone knows him.

"She must have become a widow ten years ago and had two children, a boy and a girl. Then she remarried and moved to our village," Jiang Yueshu reminded.

Hao Zhi pondered, this should be something that happened when he was a child, "I can't remember it clearly, it was too long ago."

Jiang Yueshu nodded. "It's okay. If you have time, please help me find out quietly. I'll catch a wild rabbit for you."

Hao Zhi's eyes lit up immediately, and he said cheerfully, "That's not necessary, it's just a few questions. But next time you really want to hunt rabbits and pheasants, I want to watch from the side."

He didn't want the hare, but he was extremely envious of the girl's excellent accuracy, the kind that never missed its target, and was waiting to learn a few tricks from her.

Seeing his sincere expression, Jiang Yueshu readily agreed, "No problem!"

Cheng Shuo touched the corner of his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable, and silently added, "I'll go too."

Hao Zhi was even happier and was the first to respond, "Okay, okay!"

His brother Cheng is also very capable. It would be even better if the two big guys teach together!

Cheng Shuo didn't pay attention to Hao Zhi's words. Instead, he looked at Jiang Yueshu pitifully, which made Jiang Yueshu confused. It took her a long time to realize that he was asking for her opinion, and she nodded immediately.
