Jiang Chuan frowned as he couldn’t think of any good ideas.
“Then let’s do this! Tomorrow’s arrangements will remain the same. After harvesting more wild vegetables, everyone will go to town to exchange for some food. After that, chief, you can find time to let the other villagers know the location of the harvest.” Zhou Lan said.
It was obvious that people knowing the location of the harvest was the final result of this matter. After all, they shouldn’t cause conflicts between the villagers over such a small matter.
The village chief thought for a moment and nodded, “I’ll thank you on behalf of the villagers.”
After the village chief left, the three people in the house sighed at the same time.
These days were not easy. There would always be people who are bored and wanted to stir some trouble. It seemed that they had to be more conscious of this type of people in the future.
Everything went according to plan the next day. Jiang Chuan’s family and a dozen of villagers took three carriages to town to exchange for food in the afternoon.
…..
Almost everyone in the village knew about what had happened with Madam Sun yesterday. A lot of them knew that they were going to town today to exchange for some food so they gathered around. Upon seeing the carriages, many of their eyes turned red.
It would be easy to live with others when they all had a similar situation when it comes to lifestyles. If one of the families suddenly becomes rich, then some villagers’ mentality would be affected.
“Madam Wang, I heard from my relative yesterday that Jiang Chuan had the intention to reveal the location of where they dug up the wild vegetables! Do you think it’s true?” “Reveal it? Where? At the village?” The woman replied.
“Eh? You didn’t hear about it? The children that placed with Jiang Gu yesterday all knew about it!”
“Oh! They will really share it? My daughter didn’t play with Jiang Gu yesterday as she wasn’t feeling well.”
Speaking of her child, Madam Wang continues, “Do you think is it because of what Old Sun’s wife said?”
“What are you thinking? Jiang Chuan’s family had originally planned to tell the villagers. They just wanted to make sure those that helped them gets the information before the others.” Another woman interrupted the conversation.
“There’s such a thing?” Upon hearing the woman’s words, Madam Wang’s eyes widened even more.
“Yup! Moreover, this place was founded by Zhou Lan. It is up to them to decide what they want to do with it.” The woman tutted, her face full of disdain.
After listening to the woman’s words, Madam Wang’s face was a little red.
Indeed, they didn’t have the right to ask them to share the information. But if they really did, everyone would be grateful to Jiang Chuan’s family.
The woman’s words seemed to have grown wings as they quickly spread throughout the entire village. Some people were pleasantly surprised, some were filled with anticipation, some were suspicious, and some even gritted their teeth.
“There is no way that family is ready to share the location! It was just because of what I said that gave them no choice!”
It was Madam Sun who was cursing out loud. She had gathered a few of her followers to discuss Jiang Chuan’s family.
The three women gathered had a lot in mind. Two of them were trying to comfort Madam Sun while the other one was thinking about when she would get to enjoy wild vegetables. It had been a while since she had seen green vegetables at home.
“Sister, don’t be angry. We have food to eat. Who cares what they say!”
“Didn’t you hear the sneers of those people outside? Calling me thick-skinned? Are they not the same themselves?”
The lackey who was consoling Madam Sun saw that her anger was not appeased, and she suddenly thought of a bad idea, “Sister, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it to be angry. Why don’t we teach Jiang Chuan’s family a lesson?”
Madam Sun was instantly interested in what the woman had to say, “What idea do you have?”
“The Jiang family is still angry that Jiang Chuan left them.”
“I don’t think finding the Jiang family will help since they also have inner conflict currently.”
The woman who came up with the idea chuckled, “Jiang Chuan is the common enemy of all of the Jiang family. If they work together, then internal conflicts will be reduced.
“Alright, I’ll try..”
