Seeing this loving scene, Mingyue couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Qiumei's face turned red almost instantly. When he was having lunch today, he saw that his grandmother didn't look well, so he didn't dare to move his chopsticks much, so his stomach was growling now.
However, he knew that his third brother was also very hungry, and since he was young, he could not stand the hunger even more, so he did not take the skewer of fish. He only said, "This is the first time mother has cooked it. You can taste it for us first to see if it tastes good." As he said that, he also looked at his mother cautiously.
Jiang Laimei did not doubt his second brother's words and felt that he had a heavy responsibility. This time he finally put the skewer of grilled fish to his mouth. He blew on it gently before taking a bite.
This fish has no seasoning, it is just grilled naturally, so the taste is actually not that good.
But Jiang Laimei's eyes lit up, and she quickened her eating speed while saying to her brothers, "Good, delicious, the meat smells good."
Mingyue knew that life was not easy for the three children, or rather, life was not easy for men in this world. But when she saw Jiang Laimei being so satisfied with just a piece of grilled fish, she still had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Even though the grilled fish had no salt and a bit of a fishy smell, the Jiang brothers ate it as if it were a delicacy. Mingyue, who originally couldn't finish it, ended up eating most of it.
After putting out the fire on the ground, Mingyue returned to the ruined temple with her three children, carrying a basket full of fish.
On the way back, Jiang Laimei held Mingyue's hand tightly, with a warm smile on her face, and sighed like a little old man: "Mom, I am so happy! If only I could eat my fill every day like today."
He ate three fish today. In the past, at home, only his aunt could eat fish, and he and his brothers could only smell it!
Jiang Qiumei walked beside Mingyue with a smile on her face, imagining the future: "We caught a lot of fish today, and we can eat them tomorrow. There are still many, many fish in the river, enough for us to eat for a long, long time."
Jiang Panmei was walking at the back. When he looked up, he saw the backs of his mother and brothers. Without even noticing it himself, light began to appear in his eyes.
But Mingyue didn't plan to eat fish all the time. If she kept eating a single food, her body would lack a lot of nutrients and she would get sick.
After returning to the dilapidated temple, Mingyue gave the three children a task, asking them to exchange the fish in the baskets with the villagers in the village.
For the safety of the children, Mingyue specifically asked them to find a family in the village with a good reputation and who were kind-hearted. They did not ask for any valuable things in exchange, but just some food, bowls, seasonings, etc.
Although everyone in the village knows that there are many fish in the river, this fish is very difficult to catch and it is still very rare to taste it, so this fish is also very popular.
Mingyue even found some vines on the roadside and wove a basket for each of the three little ones to hold fish, which made them exclaim in amazement. They looked at Mingyue with eyes full of wonder and admiration.
After sending the little guys away, Mingyue started to clean up the dilapidated temple. Since she was going to live here for a while, the doors and windows had to be cleaned up.
Mingyue resigned herself to her fate and got busy.
When Jiang Panmei and the other two arrived in the village, they started to act separately.
Jiang Panmei was also unlucky. When she went to exchange things with Uncle Jiang in the village, she met her fifth cousin Jiang Xueer who came here to play.
Jiang Xueer is the youngest daughter of Jiang Huiyue, the third son of Jiang Lao San. Because her mother is the favorite of the old lady in the Jiang family, she has always been domineering, especially when facing the three sons of her second aunt. She was born with a domineering aura. Especially when she knew that Jiang Panmei was unwilling to marry Li Pozi, her grandmother sent a message to the city, saying that she wanted her mother to come back and return the money of the Li family, Jiang Xueer was furious.
She knew that it was a critical period for her mother to study, but money was needed everywhere in the city. How could her mother study well without money
Mother will be entering the Royal Library in the future. Isn't Jiang Panmei deliberately delaying and harming her
If Jiang Panmei and the others were no longer in the Jiang family, she would have gone up to cause trouble long ago.
What a coincidence, we meet now.
Jiang Xueer stopped the frowning Jiang Panmei, with blazing malice in her eyes, "Finally I caught you, Jiang Panmei."
When Jiang Panmei saw his cousin, he couldn't help but show a hint of disgust in his eyes. He took two steps back, intending to walk around her.
But how could Jiang Xueer let him go like that
Jiang Xueer raised her foot and stood in front of him again, sneering, "Why, you also know that you have done something wrong and you are not worthy of being seen? You want to run away? That's not possible."
Jiang Panmei clenched the basket in her hand, and thinking that her mother was still waiting for her, she seemed to feel a little courage in her heart.
"I don't know what you're talking about, get out of the way."
When Jiang Xueer heard this, she was so angry that she almost laughed.
The money-loser who was usually ordered around by her became so bold today that he even dared to ask her to move aside. It was so hilarious that he dared to order her around.
Jiang Xueer raised her hand and slapped Jiang Panmei in the face. But her grandmother said that the money-losing goods were unnecessary and it would not be a pity even if they were beaten to death.
Jiang Panmei turned her head subconsciously, but never had the thought of resisting.
The merciless slap landed on his chin, causing him to groan. His chin, which had been kicked by his grandmother before, seemed to be getting more painful.
But he didn't care. He just wanted to get away from Jiang Xueer. He wanted to return to the ruined temple and be with his mother.
But how could Jiang Xueer just let it go like this
Even though Jiang Panmei's chin was hit, the rage in her heart only grew stronger. This damn money-loser actually dared to hide
"She only knows how to hide and dodge. She has really learned exactly the same from your useless mother. She didn't dare to make grandma angry, so she pretended to leave home, thinking that grandma couldn't bear to let her go. It's really ridiculous. Grandma wanted to send away a useless girl who couldn't give birth to a daughter. And you, Jiang Panmei, if you were sensible..."
But Jiang Xueer didn't finish her words. As early as when she said "waste mother", Jiang Panmei's expression was already wrong, but she didn't notice it at all until Jiang Panmei punched her in the stomach, causing her stomach to tighten suddenly and she screamed in pain.
Before she could even react, Jiang Panmei's second punch came at her, this time hitting the corner of her mouth.
At the same time, Jiang Panmei's angry voice rang out: "No, you are not allowed to say that about my mother."
