Chapter 26: Da Ya's Crazy Plan

~8 min read 1,485 words

And before, she didn't see that Little Ten was someone who loved his wife. He ran behind the donkey cart until he was sweating, just to let his wife sit on the donkey cart.

Although this wasn't a big deal, it didn't prevent Grandma Li from spreading it wantonly.

Before dark, most of the people in Da Jiang Cun knew that Li Zhaodi had changed her name and that Jiang Jinshi loved his wife.

And Jiang Jinshi's cheap grandfather Jiang Shizai's family had just escaped danger at this moment.

After a day of treatment by Huasheng, everyone finally had the strength to stand up, but they still ran to the latrine from time to time.

The most miserable one was Da Ya. Just as she recovered a little, the whole family's shit-stained clothes and pants were thrown in front of her.

Enduring the stench and the discomfort from her body, she hugged the clothes and went to the river to fetch water to wash them.

The water for washing naturally couldn't be allowed to flow into the river, so it was poured into the dry fields like this.

Because she had to go back and forth to the river to fetch water constantly, it was already dark when Da Ya finished washing and returned home.

Today, after being tired all day, the whole family went to sleep early. Looking at the crowd who had already fallen asleep, Da Ya knew they wouldn't leave any food for her.

She was very calm and didn't shed any tears.

Just like this, she drilled into her small nest, looking at the moonlight outside the window, a bit of madness flashing in her eyes.

Actually, she saw it last night...

A black shadow walked into the courtyard sneakily and stood in front of the water vat for a long time.

At first, she thought it was a thief who had entered the house, and was about to shout, but saw Jiang Jinshi's face by the moonlight.

For this cousin, Da Ya was naturally familiar. She was very sure she hadn't seen it wrong, so the shout that reached her mouth was swallowed like this.

Although she didn't know what Jiang Jinshi was doing here so late, she subconsciously had no defense against him.

After Jiang Jinshi left, she went to the latrine to go to the toilet and came back, and by the way, scooped a ladle of water from the water vat to drink, and the result was unexpected.

Originally, she was prepared to tell her family not to drink the water in the water vat early the next morning, but after suffering such treatment, the seeds buried deep in her heart began to germinate.

Why should she be born to be at their mercy?

Why should she only sleep in this dog house?

Why is she always the one being beaten?

Why...

Just like this, a crazy plan was born in her heart.

At first, she was still struggling with whether her idea was a bit rebellious.

But when she came back after washing the clothes, only firmness remained in her heart.

The water in the water vat had been put into a small wooden bucket by her. After tomorrow morning, she wanted this family to live worse than death.

On the other side, Jiang Jinshi didn't know that the laxative he had put had triggered a series of chain reactions.

At this moment, he was walking with a six-parent-not-recognizing pace, holding the door panel and firewood as if showing off.

Jiang Li felt inexplicable about her eldest brother's actions, stepped over him, and ran to hug Li Xinyue behind.

"Sister-in-law, is it fun in the city?"

Jiang Jinshi, who was ignored, was unconvinced and took out his prepared ultimate move, osmanthus cake!

"Xiao Lizi, come, look what brother bought for you?"

Jiang Li was very dissatisfied with her eldest brother interrupting her intimacy with her sister-in-law, whispering: "Don't listen, don't listen, the turtle is chanting scriptures!"

Li Xinyue didn't know why this cheap sister-in-law was so sticky to her, but she liked children very much, especially children like Xiao Lizi who were cute and sensible.

This wave belonged to the two of them rushing towards each other, and the only one injured was Jiang Jinshi.

Helpless, he had to pick up the door panel to repair it, so as not to leak wind at night.

Li Xinyue carefully tidied up the hair on Jiang Li's head and said softly to her: "Your brother bought you osmanthus cake, go see!"

Jiang Li's eyes shone.

Osmanthus cake!

She had only heard about it from the aunts in the village, but had never eaten it.

Jiang Li carefully opened the paper bag Jiang Jinshi put on the table, and eight square green objects were neatly coded together.

After getting close, she could also smell the refreshing osmanthus fragrance and the faint sweetness.

Jiang Li swallowed her saliva uncontrollably, took two from the top, and handed one to Li Xinyue.

"Sister-in-law eat!"

Li Xinyue nodded and took a small bite of the osmanthus cake.

Jiang Li turned around, took another osmanthus cake, and ran to Liu Yu.

"Mom, eat the osmanthus cake brother brought back."

Mother Liu wanted to wave her hand to refuse, but she couldn't resist Jiang Li, so she smiled and took the osmanthus cake.

When Jiang Li returned to the table, she picked up another osmanthus cake and walked to the door, handing it to Jiang Jinshi, who was installing the door.

Looking at the osmanthus cake in the small hand, Jiang Jinshi almost wrote the two words "praise me" on his face, and then put the osmanthus cake into his mouth without hesitation.

When everyone had osmanthus cake, Jiang Li gently put the osmanthus cake into her mouth.

She didn't know how osmanthus cake was called delicious, but this was the sweetest thing she had ever eaten in her life.

The family in the room surrounded a small box of osmanthus cakes, all laughing out loud.

Lighting the fire, boiling water, and stewing the trotter were done in one go, and the meat fragrance gradually drifted throughout the courtyard.

Even Uncle Jiang Cai, who passed by the door, couldn't help but take two big breaths, but was afraid of being seen and walked home quickly.

Jiang Li looked at her eldest brother, who was skilled in his movements, and a little bit of worship light began to appear in her eyes.

Even if it couldn't compare to the taste of the previous life, Li Xinyue also ate very satisfied.

At present, she hadn't found a stable source of points income, and it was already very good to have such food.

At dinner, seeing that the time was ripe, Jiang Jinshi said softly: "By the way, I plan to go to Licheng tomorrow, and it might take a few days to come back."

Mother Liu's worry hung on her face in an instant: "Why go so far to Licheng?"

Jiang Jinshi put a piece of meat in the bowl, "Met a schoolmate from school in the city, said there is a job of copying books in Licheng, I thought I'd go see it."

It wasn't that Jiang Jinshi didn't want to tell the truth, but they wouldn't believe it even if he said it, so it was better to say something they were willing to hear, which could also reduce their worry.

Hearing that he was looking for a job, Mother Liu's face showed a smile again, and she urged him again, not at ease.

"The journey is long, bring some grain to eat on the road."

"Don't have disputes with the employer, you have to endure when you go out."

"Bring some clothes to change."

"Take care of yourself when you go out."

Facing Mother Liu's nagging, Jiang Jinshi just smiled and agreed. Perhaps only after experiencing enough could one understand how much parental love was buried in such words.

After the meal, Jiang Li ran to Jiang Jinshi's side sneakily and questioned in a low voice: "Are you really not going to gamble?"

Jiang Jinshi nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, I, Jiang, swear to be incompatible with gambling and drugs."

Jiang Li really wanted to believe her brother, but the bitter days in her mind always couldn't be wiped away.

Finally, she gathered her courage and opened her mouth: "Then can you tell me where your silver came from?"

Jiang Jinshi held his head high, his eyes looking upward, as if thinking about something, and then looked at Jiang Li seriously.

"Then brother will tell you, you can't tell others!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li clenched her fists and nodded heavily.

Jiang Jinshi looked around, then leaned close to Jiang Li and said in a low voice.

"Actually, I am a mountain bandit, and this money was all robbed by me."
