Chapter 573: Female Supremacy, My Little Husband 1
Yu Jiuli? Jiang San silently memorized this name. It sounded nice. She should have a good family background. She was incompatible with Taohua Village and should not stay in Taohua Village.
But even though he knew it clearly in his mind, he couldn't help but have some delusional thoughts. With a lonely look in his eyes, he handed the food in his hand to Jiuli and sat in his seat obediently without moving.
"You eat," Jiang San said softly, and a blush appeared on his fair face when he came into contact with Jiuli.
He had never come into contact with these grown women before.
"Thank you, I'm not particularly hungry." Jiuli took it and broke off a large piece and handed it to Jiang San, "You eat it."
What he had in his hand was just a cheap wheat bran cake, but judging from Jiang San's appearance, this should be his only food.
Jiang San ate the bran cake in small bites, occasionally looking up to drink a sip of water, just like a little duck trying hard to eat.
He didn't eat much and put the rest in his arms.
"Save it for tomorrow." Jiang San said to Jiuli who was looking at him, and patted his stomach to indicate that he was full today.
"Yeah," Jiuli nodded without saying anything more.
At dusk when the moon was setting, Jiang San, carrying two bundles of firewood, slowly walked down the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he looked towards the cave, waved his hand, and walked briskly towards his home.
Jiuli watched Jiang San walk away and raised her hand to her chest. This was the first time she saw him so miserable. Although it was a bit immoral, she really wanted to laugh.
Jiang San put down the firewood and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He only saw a clean bowl, so he ate some wheat bran cakes with cold water and walked towards his room.
The next day, I went up the mountain, but did not see Jiuli in the cave. I anxiously searched for her for a long time before I found her next to the creek.
"Ms. Yu," Jiang San's eyes were full of worry, and he spoke fluently, "Why did you come out?"
Jiuli picked up a stone and hit the fish. The fish floated up with its belly turned upside down and was picked up and cleaned by Jiuli.
"I waited for you for a while, but didn't see you. Come over to have something to eat." Jiuli shook the processed fish in her hand.
Jiang San's eyes fell on the fish and he was reluctant to look away. He was not worthy of eating such delicious food at home.
"I'm a little late." Jiang San looked away with difficulty, then touched his stomach and sat beside him to eat a bran cake.
"Leave this for you to eat later. Do you want fish?" Jiuli secretly used a magic to switch things up and directly replaced it with cooked fish.
"Can I eat it?" Jiang San stared blankly at the fish wrapped in leaves, and looked at Jiuli with his watery eyes.
"Of course you can. Once I give it to you, it's yours." Jiuli patted the side and moved the pile of firewood.
"It smells delicious." Jiang San seemed to have tears in his eyes. He kept his head down while eating the fish, not wanting to waste any piece.
"Then eat more. Look how thin you are." Jiuli gave him another piece of rice. "I was talking too much."
"It's okay," Jiang San's eyes reddened. Miss Yu was so gentle and a good wife. He didn't know which young man had gotten her so easily, but it definitely wouldn't be a village boy like him.
"Miss Yu is gentle and amiable, but which young man have you chosen?" Jiang San asked cautiously after finishing his meal.
"We're not engaged yet," Jiuli chuckled.
Jiang San felt some hope in his heart after hearing this, but he did not say it out loud. He understood that if you marry a woman, you will be her servant.
With Jiuli's help, they collected enough firewood early that day, and Jiang San returned home earlier than usual.
As I walked in front of my parents' door, I vaguely heard the conversation between Jiang's father and mother, and I couldn't help but hide in a corner to listen.
"The third child is getting more and more outstanding. The village chief has taken a fancy to him and said he wants to take him as his third concubine. That's a good idea, and he'll give us this amount." Father Jiang stretched out his hand.
"How much? How much? No? You have to give me three strings of cash. Our little third daughter is so handsome. There are not many people like her in this area. We can't afford her at all." Jiang's mother retorted with a guilty conscience.
"Three strings of cash? You can buy several good-looking young men with that much money," Jiang's father drank water in big gulps to calm himself down.
He glared at his wife, thinking it was simply a pipe dream!
"The rich man Liu's family wants a boy, but they offered five strings of coins! If the village chief's family didn't have some power, three strings of coins? Ha." Jiang's mother sneered, making her own wishful thinking.
"How about that?" Jiang's father smiled grimly.
"Pay three strings of cash and the person can take it away," Jiang's mother concluded. In short, she would never let Jiang San leave Taohua Village.
"Okay, I'll listen to you in everything," Jiang's father said, as if he was going to do whatever Jiang's mother said, and he was calculating in his mind.
The three strings of money can't all be given to Jiang's mother, otherwise she should take the money back home. After years of getting along, Jiang's father still understands Jiang's mother. Jiang San must stay by his side!
"Daya will be back tomorrow, go and buy some meat," Jiang's mother said with a pained look as she counted out a few copper coins and handed them to Jiang's father.
"Okay," Jiang's father nodded. Daya found a job in town, thanks to Jiang's mother's quick eyes and hands.
Jiang San, who was eavesdropping outside, looked extremely pale. Being the village chief's concubine, his brain went blank and his legs went weak.
"Xiao San'er? What are you doing here?" Jiang's father came out and looked at Jiang San, his eyes full of vigilance. How much did he hear? It seemed that he couldn't stay here!
If it's not your own child, you can't raise him well. He even learned to eavesdrop! What a shameless person!
"My son just came back and is going to feed the pigs," Jiang San quickly remembered that he had made a bundle of pig grass today and made an excuse.
As the backyard passed through the main house, Jiang's father believed it a little and made up his mind not to keep it. If he kept it, he would be afraid of it.
"Well, then you go feed the pigs. After that, prepare some chicken feed and clean the yard for your sister to come back tomorrow." Jiang's father wanted to put all the work on Jiang San.
"Son knows," Jiang San's eyes were dull, but he concealed it well and replied in a low voice.
"That's good to know. Now that you know, why don't you do it?" Jiang's father turned around and glared at Jiang San, then left with a twisted waist.
Jiang San looked at his father's receding back. He was wearing neat coarse cloth clothes, two gold-plated hairpins in his hair, and he walked with a graceful manner. He was a very respectable man. How could he be so mean?
Isn’t he Jiang family’s biological child?
Jiang's father had no idea what Jiang San was thinking. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care because he wasn't his biological son.
After buying the meat, Jiang's father made a dish of pork stewed with vermicelli, and he and Jiang's mother had a delicious meal.
"Go ask the village chief tomorrow and remember to pay the three strings of cash," Jiang's mother reminded her again before going to bed, and she fell asleep only after receiving her response.
Father Jiang nodded to show that he understood.
On the other side, Jiang San almost did not sleep all night. He went up the mountain early the next day and came to the front of Jiuli Cave.
