Chapter 35

This startled Li Hong. She quickly asked her grandson, Tie Dan, to call Jiang Weimin back.

Tie Dan widened his eyes, his legs trembling as he ran out, shouting, “It’s over, it’s over, my second uncle is crazy.”

Wang Yezi, who was weeding in the private plot, counted on her fingers the time that her brother-in-law had been unconscious. No way!

Didn’t they say Jiang Zhizhi’s medical skills were amazing?!

What was going on now?

Wang Yezi immediately rushed into the house. Before she even saw anyone, she heard a series of “hisses.”

It sounded creepy.

Until Wang Yezi walked in and suddenly bumped into a pair of eerie, cold black eyes. The pupils were even erect!

It looked like a snake’s eyes!

Wang Yezi instantly felt a chill run down her spine. She screamed in fright.

Jiang Weimin was working in the field with everyone else. He suddenly heard his grandson shouting frantically, “Grandpa, come back home! My second uncle is awake!”

“But he doesn’t recognize anyone!”

Jiang Weimin’s face changed. After saying goodbye to the people around him, he immediately rushed home.

The melon-eating crowd in the field was once again shocked by Jiang Fengshou’s news!

His life was saved, but he wasn’t quite right?

This snake’s venom was too scary.

Yes, that’s it!

When Jiang Weimin got home, he finally heard his son’s voice.

“Mom, I’m really fine. I thought the snake was still alive. I fought it for hundreds of rounds in my dream.”

Wang Yezi held Tie Dan in her arms, her voice trembling, “Then why were you hissing when you woke up? If you didn’t know better, you’d think you were a snake.”

“Our hearts almost stopped because of you.”

Wang Yezi saw her brother-in-law’s innocent look and was furious. If her mother-in-law wasn’t here, she would have wanted to grab a broom and beat this demon.

Jiang Weimin, who had rushed back, “………..”

Jiang Weimin’s nose twitched, his eyes turned red. He scolded, “You stinky boy! Are you trying to scare your old man to death?”

“How many times have I told you, don’t go into the deep mountains. You always ignore me, don’t you?”

“Look at you, you almost lost your life in the mountains. I hope you’ve learned your lesson this time.”

Jiang Fengshou shrunk his neck. He saw that his father’s nose was almost crooked, but his eyes were red.

His mother had lost a lot of weight. She was usually so energetic, but now her eyes were dark and her lips were pale.

Jiang Fengshou deeply understood that he had really scared his father and mother this time.

Jiang Fengshou scratched his head and stammered, “I… I’ll be careful next time.”

“It wasn’t just me who didn’t notice the snake. Everyone else was a useless fool too. They didn’t see it either.”

“Next time? You scoundrel, Jiang Fengshou, is there a next time? You didn’t even see a snake, and you can’t even fight a king cobra. You dare to call everyone else useless?”

Jiang Weimin was both angry and amused. “You stinky boy, you’re in for it!

“When you get better, I’ll beat you to death!”

Li Hong quickly stepped in to play peacemaker. She patted Jiang Fengshou on the back, “Alright, alright, say less.

Didn’t Zhizhi tell you?

After Fengshou wakes up, remind him to rest and not run around. Don’t get angry, or you’ll get upset.”

As soon as Jiang Fengshou heard Jiang Zhizhi’s name, his face turned red.

He was actually saved by his rival’s sister!!!

Besides, Jiang Zhizhi was willing to save him. What bad intentions could she have?

Would he have to be Jiang Zhizhi’s little brother in the future?

Jiang Fengshou tried to forget the bet he made on the mountain. Whoever lost had to call the other person their “real dad”!

What kind of stupid bet was that? He really wanted to kill the person who came up with it!

Jiang Weimin: “…”

His son must be a fool!

Jiang Weimin was afraid that Jiang Fengshou would go out and cause trouble again, so he reminded him once more, “Don’t be too reckless, you hear me?”

Jiang Fengshou thought for a moment and said, “I know, I know. Jiang Zhizhi saved me, and she even told me to…”

Jiang Weimin laughed angrily, “So all the things I told you are nothing compared to one sentence from your savior.”

“Alright, I’m going back to work in the field. Don’t get into any trouble!”

“Relax, relax, am I that kind of person?”

Jiang Weimin glanced at Jiang Fengshou and then turned and left.

Wang Yezi didn’t want to stay there either. What if her brother-in-law settled the score later?

“Tie Dan, Mom will take you to feed the pigs.”

“Didn’t we already feed them?”

“Then Mom will take you to watch gossip.”

Wang Yezi said to Tie Dan while quickening her pace, escaping from the room.

Jiang Fengshou looked confused, “Mom, why does Big Sister look at me like I’m a ghost? Am I that scary?”

Mentioning this, Li Hong rolled her eyes. She was almost mad at her eldest daughter-in-law.

“Don’t mind her, she’s clueless.”

Jiang Fengshou was lying down, feeling uncomfortable. If he lay down any longer, he would go crazy.

So he begged Li Hong for a long time before his mother let him go out for a walk.

As he walked, Jiang Fengshou came to the riverbank. He had just sat down to think when he heard someone calling him.

Unbeknownst to him, his cronies were also there, catching fish. They were happy to see their brother Fengshou, but then they saw Wenxiang the educated youth not far away.

They remembered that Fengshou seemed to like Wenxiang the educated youth, so the cronies made a bold decision.

They would hide and watch the show!!!

Wenxiang happened to be passing by. She hesitated for a moment before walking over to greet Jiang Fengshou.

“Jiang Fengshou, you’re awake? That’s great!”

Wenxiang walked over softly, her concern seemingly genuine.

“I heard about the snake bite the other day. It was too dangerous at the time, so I could only stand in the crowd and couldn’t help.

But I heard later that you made a bet with Jiang Zhizhi on the mountain. If you lost, you had to call her your dad?

That’s too much. It was a good deed to save someone. Why would she want to be your dad?

You were lying on a cart, only having one breath left, but Jiang Zhizhi stood at the door and didn’t choose to save you immediately.

Instead, she said in front of everyone that she could save you, but she would remember this saving grace and make your family repay her.”

Wenxiang looked righteous. “We should be united and help each other, be brave and helpful. Comrade Jiang Zhizhi’s behavior is unacceptable.

Oh, Jiang Fengshou, why are you blushing?

Did Jiang Zhizhi make you angry?”

Jiang Fengshou scratched his head and roared with red eyes, “I’m angry?”

“If you were bitten by a snake, you would be angry too!!!”

“You don’t believe me???”

Wenxiang: “……….”

What’s wrong with you? She said so many words of concern for Jiang Fengshou, but he didn’t get the point?

Was he really bitten stupid by the snake?

The point was that Jiang Zhizhi’s motive for saving you at this crucial moment was not pure!

Why is your family being manipulated by her?

Actually, Wenxiang didn’t look down on Jiang Fengshou at all. He was a good-for-nothing in the village, not serious at all, a real second-rate thug.

If Jiang Fengshou wasn’t the village head’s precious son, she wouldn’t even talk to him.

Wenxiang was born into a family that favored sons over daughters. Her family wanted to keep her brother in the city, so they sacrificed her and signed her up to go to the countryside.

Educated youths went to the countryside to build the country, but in reality, they were not welcomed by the villagers.

After going to the countryside, Wenxiang was really miserable. She wasn’t used to anything, her body was out of sorts!

Wenxiang was desperate. She couldn’t even hold on for a few days. What would happen when she encountered the double-harvest season? Wouldn’t she die in the field from exhaustion?

The other female educated youths in the educated youth point were also complaining and crying.

Some tried to fake illness, and some even said they might as well find a local peasant to marry, at least they wouldn’t have to work so hard.

Wenxiang was a little tempted. She was actually quite pretty, soft and weak like a white lotus flower. She would be at a disadvantage without anyone to protect her.

Anyway, she had no place in that family in the city anymore.

So she had to plan for her future. Either she would find someone in the county to marry, or she would find someone with good conditions in the village.

Wenxiang observed for a while and found two families that met the conditions.

One was the village head’s precious son, Jiang Fengshou.

The other was the eldest son of the old Jiang family, Jiang Yuanshan.

The eldest son of the old Jiang family was tall and strong, with well-defined muscles. You could tell he was very powerful.

Especially when he was working, he could do the work of ten or twenty people.

His face was masculine and handsome, not comparable to Jiang Fengshou, who was a fool.

Besides, the old Jiang family had no daughters, only sons. A new daughter-in-law marrying into the old Jiang family wouldn’t have to suffer from her sister-in-law.

After making up her mind, Wenxiang tried to act weak and approach Jiang Yuanshan. After all, men all liked this kind of thing. She didn’t believe Jiang Yuanshan wouldn’t be moved.

But when she saw Jiang Yuanshan swing his fist and beat someone for the first time, she was scared. She didn’t dare to look at him again.

He was so fierce?

Would he beat his wife in the future?

The body that she had once thought was powerful now felt too oppressive because of his tall figure.

Wenxiang suppressed her liking for Jiang Yuanshan and turned to approach Jiang Fengshou.

She had been acting weak in front of Jiang Fengshou before, and it had worked. Why was Jiang Fengshou acting like a madman this time?

Now that Jiang Zhizhi had gone to live with the old Jiang family and received so much love, even Jiang Yuanshan was so good to Jiang Zhizhi.

Wenxiang felt unbalanced.

The cronies hiding in the shadows: “……….”

No way?!

Our brother Fengshou is genuine?

Wenxiang took a deep breath, a hint of grievance appearing on her face. “Jiang Fengshou, are you angry?

I wanted to come see you earlier, but there was so much going on in the educated youth point, I was too busy.

I also have to work to earn work points, I couldn’t get away.

Jiang Fengshou, I consider you a friend. As soon as I finished my work, I came to check on you.

You don’t know, when I was walking over here, I was chased by the big black dog in the village. It bared its teeth and growled at me several times. Can you imagine how scared I was running all the way here?”

Wenxiang was deliberately acting pitiful in front of the man.

Jiang Fengshou’s eyes lit up. He asked, “The big black dog?”

Wenxiang nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, “It’s that big black dog. Do you think it’s fierce?”

Jiang Fengshou laughed, revealing his eight neat teeth. He laughed and scolded, “You mean Big Black?

That’s the one my dad specifically raised in the village. Big Black doesn’t usually cause trouble.

But sometimes when it sees bad people, Big Black barks really fiercely. We call it “Big Black, the fierce dog.”

I didn’t know that Big Black was so mischievous in private. It actually has two faces?”

Wenxiang: “………”

Jiang Fengshou, you bastard!

I want you to feel sorry for me, but listen to what you’re saying!

You’re scolding a black dog?

The cronies: “………”

Brother Fengshou, you’re done. You’re on the edge of death.

Is this a sign of liking?

Nonsense!

Wenxiang’s smile was a little forced. Her fingernails dug into her palm. Her voice was a little choked.

“Forget it, you need to take good care of your injury. It’s good to come out and relax.

By the way, I saw the male educated youths and some old men from the village entrance playing chess. If you’re interested, you can go and have a look.”

Jiang Fengshou grinned, “Hahaha, I know, I know. Those old men play chess terribly. They’re either playing badly or making a blunder. It’s really, how can you make a blunder?”

The cronies collectively rolled their eyes.

Who was spreading the rumor that brother Fengshou liked Wenxiang the educated youth?

This is liking?

This is a compliment?

Isn’t he clearly calling Wenxiang the educated youth a blunder?

Brother Fengshou is too mean!

Wenxiang didn’t want to talk to Jiang Fengshou anymore. She stomped her foot in anger, looking like she was being bullied by Jiang Fengshou.

“Jiang Fengshou, I think you’re really annoying. Are you trying to make me angry?”

“I’m telling you, I’m about to explode!”

Ignite Wenxiang?

How could that be?

Jiang Fengshou was a little confused. Why was Wenxiang the educated youth’s face so bad?

But Jiang Fengshou hadn’t forgotten what he promised his father before going out. He had to speak calmly and not get upset.

This time, it was Jiang Fengshou’s turn to feel wronged. “Wenxiang the educated youth, you’re wronging me. I’m speaking quite politely, aren’t I?”

Wenxiang mentally cursed madly. You’re a jerk, more like it.

Just then, Auntie Ding Xianglan passed by the riverbank. She heard this female educated youth mention Zhizhi’s name once, but she didn’t hear the specific content.

If she was saying good things, she would be happy to listen.

If she was saying bad things, she would see if Ding Xianglan didn’t rush over and tear Wenxiang’s mouth apart.

Bullying her family’s treasure, are you tired of living?

Ding Xianglan was furious and spoke with a strong voice, “What are you doing?”

The cronies hiding in the shadows scattered.

Jiang Fengshou: “……….”

Damn it! So many people!

Jiang Fengshou scratched his head, a little nervous. “Auntie Lan, where did Jiang Yuanyang and Jiang Zhizhi go? I haven’t seen them all day.”

“My dad said that when I wake up, I should thank Jiang Zhizhi properly.”

Auntie Ding Xianglan said “oh” and smiled, “They went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.”

This was an excuse. Actually, her little brats went to the county to do a big thing.

She wondered how her brats were doing in the county?

Her husband had also gone to other villages to find out news.

Hopefully, there would be good news!

Jiang Fengshou was a little disappointed.

It had to be said, this was the first time he had been so eager to see his rival… sister.
