While appreciating Jiang Xia’s filial piety, Jia Ju opened up a little awkwardly, “I do have some cloth coupons, but there aren’t many left. I’m afraid it’s not enough to make clothes. Why don’t you come again next time? 1’11 save some for you. As for industrial coupons, 1 really can’t help, it’s hard for us to get them as well.”
Seeing Jia Ju’s sincerity, Jiang Xia sighed. It seemed like it would be difficult to get those industrial coupons. For now, they would have to make do with the pot in the village and worry about the rest later.
After chatting with Jia Ju for a while, the father and daughter prepared to leave.
As they were leaving, Jia Ju repeatedly reminded Jiang Xia to come again next time and she would keep the cloth coupons for them.
Hearing this, Jiang Xia was overjoyed. Just as she was about to leave with her bamboo basket on her back, Jia Guang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: “You can bring us wild animals and vegetables in the future.”
These words from Jia Guang precisely resonated with Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia’s thoughts!
Jiang Xia had been thinking, if the villagers could grow food from the seeds she had given them, everyone wouldn’t worry about eating anymore. They could dig up the wild vegetables on the mountain to sell, and then everyone would be full and have some extra money on hand.
“Really?” Jiang Xia asked in surprise.
“Why would I lie to you? I’m just afraid you won’t be able to dig them up,” the young man said somewhat arrogantly.
“These wild vegetables look good! The rabbit is fat, too. It must be delicious to eat! But vegetables get consumed fast, so if you dig up any, be sure to bring us some more!” Even Jia Ju was happy about her son’s decision. Plus, she really liked Jiang Xia, who was sweet and smart.
“Alright, just you wait.” Jiang Xia said to Jia Guang, raising an eyebrow.
When Jiang Xia saw Jia Ju and Jia Guang’s attitude, she felt that she wouldn’t have to worry about their future deal!
“Alright, Xiao Xia, let’s go. Your mother and sister are still waiting for us.” Seeing that they were getting more and more entangled in their conversation, Jiang Chuan reminded her.
“Right, you should hurry home! Don’t let your family wait too long.” Jia Ju urged them warmly, revealing her affection for Jiang Xia.
Watching Jiang Xia and her father leave, Jia Ju started planning in her heart.
They had been away for quite some time. With the money Jiang Xia had earned, she was eager to share the good news with her mother and little sister Jiang Gu. Jiang Chuan hadn’t seen his wife for a long time and missed her a little.
Both of them hastened their steps and soon saw Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu sitting in front of the shopping mall.
Approaching, they saw that both Jiang Gu and Zhou Lan were covered in dust. “Mom, Xiao Gu, what happened to you?”
Jiang Xia was truly shocked. They were fine when they left in the morning, and now after a short time away, the two looked as if they had gone to war.
“Sister, mom went to catch a thief. We didn’t do anything wrong!” Xiao Gu said pitifully.
Hearing this, Jiang Chuan hurried over to Zhou Lan, inspecting her for injuries.
“I’m so angry, this stupid power, I didn’t dare to use it!” Zhou Lan was so frustrated!
She was so worried that she might lose control and damage the thief, leaving her with no money for compensation, that she had only apprehended him. Otherwise, she would’ve definitely shown him what she was truly capable of!
“Did you catch the thief?” Jiang Xia sat beside Jiang Gu and asked softly.
Jiang Gu nodded.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “My dear wife, you’ve already caught the thief, haven’t you? Why are you still upset?”
His words only added fuel to the fire, making Zhou Lan even more angry.
“He was too rude! I was so angry! If not for the fact that my powers could accidentally injure someone seriously, I would have smashed his mouth! Let him curse! Let him steal!”
In the end, Zhou Lan was still afraid. She didn’t understand the rules of this era. What if she had to pay a large amount of money for injuring someone? They didn’t have any money! They were really poor now!
“Alright, alright, mother, don’t be upset! Let me tell you some good news.” Jiang Xia spoke with a smile.
“What is it?” Zhou Lan’s attention was diverted.
“We’ve made some money! We’ve sold all of today’s rabbits and wild vegetables!” Jiang Xia took out the fifteen yuan they had earned.
“Really? How much did we make?”
Zhou Lan didn’t seem excited, but it was Jiang Gu who was almost jumping with joy..
