Chapter 269 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 10
"mom......"
After a long silence, Jiang Aiguo finally couldn't help it.
"If you think Erya's cooking is not tasty, just ask the child's mother to cook... Doctor Zhang said that Erya fainted because she was too emotional."
Jiang Aiguo pondered for a moment and said, if Erya fainted at home, who knows what people would say about their family behind their backs.
The old lady who understood what her son meant frowned, a little unhappy, "What are you talking about! She is just a little girl, and we old people have to endure her anger!"
Liu Hongjuan nodded in her heart, yes, they couldn’t still be controlled by this damn girl, and she didn’t want to cook!
"Mom!" Jiang Aiguo raised his voice, "It's just this once! Erya has been very obedient since she was a child. If we say less to her, she won't get into trouble. That's all good! Besides, she's weak now. When she gets better, you can educate her however you want!"
Grandma Jiang frowned and thought, and did not speak for a while.
Seeing that Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything, Liu Hongjuan became anxious and said to Jiang Aiguo, "His father, the key is that Erya has really changed recently. What kind of food have you cooked these past two days? Don't tell me that she is angry because Lu Jianjun didn't succeed!"
"Shut up!" Jiang Aiguo yelled impatiently, "Then what are you going to do? Are you going to hit her or scold her? What if she faints again? Even if you are innocent, your daughter is not at home, how are the kids going to get married in the future!"
"Don't think I don't know what you did. Where did the red mark on Erya's arm come from? Just because I don't care about it doesn't mean that the villagers won't think too much about it."
Liu Hongjuan felt aggrieved after being scolded, but she also agreed with Jiang Aiguo's words in her heart that they should not be seen as perpetrators in everyone's eyes, otherwise it would be a problem for other children to get married in the future.
The Jiang family's dinner slowly ended in silence and a sour smell.
It was really because Grandma Jiang was older, so no one dared to say anything to her. Besides, her shoes had already been taken off, and there was still a smell, so everyone just endured it.
Liu Hongjuan, who hadn't washed dishes for many years but had washed them several times in the past two days, looked at the woodshed hatefully and thought about how to deal with Jiang Yueshu.
Well, we have to wait until the eldest brother gets married before selling this girl. This way she doesn’t have to work and can save some money for her daughter and son.
After hearing no more noise outside, Jiang Yueshu slowly curled the corners of her lips, washed herself with the water that had been boiled earlier and stored in the space, then began to move her body and practice the body-building techniques.
The next morning, when Jiang Yueshu woke up, Liu Hongjuan was already busy in the kitchen.
There was no way. Her cooking skills had been terrible recently, which had made the old lady in a bad mood. After last night's conversation at the dinner table and Jiang Yueshu's fainting attack, she couldn't lose her temper with Jiang Yueshu, so she naturally assigned the task of cooking to Liu Hongjuan.
Liu Hongjuan slammed the chopping board in annoyance, but received nothing in return except a roll of the eyes from the old lady.
After breakfast, the Jiang family members went to work in the fields one by one and waited for the team leader to assign tasks.
It was still the same field as yesterday, but in view of Jiang Yueshu's fainting yesterday, the team leader and several aunts specifically told her before she left that she should take care of her health and not work too hard. If she found that her body couldn't take it anymore, she must rest for a while.
Jiang Yueshu nodded obediently and once again politely thanked those who cared about her, which made them look at her with softer eyes.
With the captain's special care, Jiang Yueshu naturally did not force herself. She worked for a while and then took a break. Others understood this.
In a field not far away, Zhao Xue had just withdrawn her gaze from Jiang Erya, and the next second she saw her husband also looking over there.
Zhao Xue bit her lip unwillingly and took a few steps forward to block Lu Jianjun's sight. "Jianjun, what are you looking at?"
Lu Jianjun wiped his sweat and said casually, "Nothing."
Zhao Xue's face turned pale instantly. She clearly saw it. Jiang Erya was going in that direction. Why did he deny it?
Could it be possible that the broken fate can be rekindled?
No - no, Brother Jianjun is hers!
No one can take it away!
Zhao Xue's ugly expression slowly returned to normal, the mist in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a firmness and determination to win.
"Jianjun, when does your leave expire?"
Zhao Xue had an impeccable smile on her face and looked at Lu Jianjun with gentle eyes.
Lu Jianjun paused while digging the soil and said without turning his head, "Two more months."
Zhao Xue was satisfied, and was leisurely thinking about the wonderful life she would have after following the army in the future, without noticing the gaze from Lu Jianjun at all.
Lu Jianjun looked at the sweet smile on his newlywed wife's face, pursed his lips, and decided to keep it secret for the time being.
Actually——He came back this time to...
Forget it, the results will be out in two months anyway.
Because of Jiang Yueshu's illness, she has been having a very happy time these days.
Because she was weak, she didn't do much work in the morning. Liu Hongjuan was unhappy that she had to cook, so she acted up at noon and cut off her lunch.
Who would have thought that less than twenty minutes after starting work in the afternoon, Jiang Yueshu fainted again with a "bang". The team leader who had been secretly watching her discovered it immediately and had someone take her to the shade.
Almost everyone knows that Dr. Zhang treated Jiang Yueshu yesterday. We thought that after taking the medicine, she had rested when she was tired, so why did she faint again so soon?
Immediately, a kind-hearted citizen spoke up, "Captain, I saw Erya holding her stomach as soon as she got to work this afternoon. She looked like she was in pain. Could she have had a stomach upset?"
Some people also think that Jiang Erya had fainted yesterday, but she had just taken medicine and the effect was not so quick, so it was normal for her to faint.
The villagers who were watching were guessing one after another. The team leader was so worried that he tapped his pipe hard and called for Doctor Zhang to come over.
They didn't know whether Erya's fainting was normal or not, so of course they asked Doctor Zhang to take a look at what was going on.
Doctor Zhang was in a bad mood when he was dragged out again, but when he heard that the little girl from yesterday had fainted again, he became anxious and consciously quickened his pace.
After seeing the sweat on the little girl's forehead, her dull complexion, and her chapped and upturned lips, he asked other people at the scene about what they saw. He had a guess in his mind, so he asked someone to pour a bowl of sugar water and feed it to Jiang Yueshu.
When everyone saw that Doctor Zhang did not make any other moves, they knew that he was waiting for Jiang Erya to wake up, and took this opportunity to ask curiously.
"Doctor Zhang, what happened to Erya?"
"Did you have a stomachache?"
"I think it's because of what happened yesterday. I guess I got so angry that my body became like this."
"It's really like a mountain falling on me. I've fainted several times!"
The captain also asked the most crucial question, "Doctor Zhang, could it be that the medicine is not working properly? Erya won't faint all the time!"
If people in his production team kept fainting and the news got out accidentally, he would inevitably be criticized in the town.
Doctor Zhang shook his head, glanced at Jiang Aiguo, whose face was a little pale, and said directly, "No."
The captain automatically interpreted that it was not due to the effect of the medicine, so people would not faint all the time.
Thinking of this, he just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Doctor Zhang say, "Because no one from the Jiang family came to get the medicine!"
Captain: “…”
Okay, okay, the relief I just felt is now back.
Jiang Aiguo's eyes widened, and he interrupted in disbelief: "...Ah? Didn't the child's mother go?"
He suppressed his shame and acted as if he was completely ignorant, but there was a hint of guilt in the depths of his eyes.
The captain glanced at Jiang Aiguo and was about to say something when someone suddenly shouted that someone had woken up.
The captain turned his head and saw that the unconscious Jiang Erya was slowly opening her eyes.
She looked at the green branches above her in confusion, then glanced around and saw the crowd of onlookers. With the help of a kind-hearted old lady, she just sat up and saw Doctor Zhang, who had a serious expression on his face.
"I...what's wrong with me?"
Doctor Zhang asked with a serious face, "Er Ya, you just fainted! What symptoms did you have before you fainted? Were you anxious or weak?"
"Ah? Did I faint again?" Jiang Yueshu was startled and began to think about her previous symptoms. "Hmm... It seems that not long after I started working in the afternoon, I kept sweating, my body felt a little weak, and my head was dizzy. I thought I was tired, so I rested for a while and continued to work. But after a while, my eyes suddenly went black, and I didn't know what happened after that."
Doctor Zhang nodded, glanced at the captain and Jiang Aiguo standing next to him, and then said to Jiang Yueshu, "You fainted from hunger."
Hearing this, the curiosity on Jiang Yueshu's face instantly dimmed, as if she knew what was going on.
The captain sighed worriedly, inevitably complaining in his heart, and looked at Jiang Aiguo, "No, Aiguo, Erya is a girl, not very old, how much can she eat by herself? How could she faint from hunger?"
Although the village cannot guarantee that every household has enough food and warm clothing, no matter how poor the family is, there has never been a case of someone fainting from hunger!
The villagers looked at Jiang Yueshu's pitiful appearance as she fainted again and again, and looked at Jiang Aiguo with some dissatisfaction. No wonder Erya was holding her stomach the whole time, it turned out she was hungry!
Jiang Aiguo's face turned pale and red. With such an embarrassed face, he didn't dare to say that Jiang Yueshu hadn't eaten lunch at all. He couldn't help but blame Liu Hongjuan, the instigator. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have to be ridiculed by everyone here.
She, on the other hand, didn't come at all, so naturally she didn't know the torment and embarrassment he was feeling. Fortunately, no one knew the truth, otherwise who knows what would happen.
As expected, what you fear will come true. The next second, Aunt Wang, a neighbor of the Jiang family, suddenly exclaimed, "I say, if you love your country, Erya didn't eat lunch today, did she?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Aiguo's mind went blank. A sense of guilt and shame of being exposed came over him. Jiang Yueshu also lowered his head and said nothing.
After seeing this scene, the villagers' thoughts became more active, and some of them even spoke very tactfully.
"Aunt Wang, why do you say that?"
"Yes, isn't Arya still sick? There's no reason to not let her eat! Even if she has committed a big mistake, it shouldn't be like this!"
"Aunt Wang, are you still holding a grudge against Mrs. Jiang, so you said this on purpose?"
"Bah!" Aunt Wang's face changed, and she said to the last woman, "Li Cuihua, do you want to fight? Why should I hate that old woman Jiang? What I said is true, and there is no intentional or unintentional thing! Jiang Aiguo, tell me yourself, did your good wife not allow Erya to eat lunch today?"
Finally, she spat fiercely, "What a heartless person!"
When she came home at noon today and heard a loud noise next door, she immediately ran to the wall separating the two houses, just in time to hear Liu Hongjuan cutting the chopping board angrily and getting angry at Erya.
Of course, it was true that she didn't get along with Mrs. Jiang. When she first entered the Wang family, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Jiang were good friends. Mrs. Jiang often taught Mrs. Wang how to torture her. If her mother-in-law hadn't passed away early, her first child might have been miscarried.
From then on, she was unhappy with Mrs. Jiang in every way, and she also felt a bit distressed and sympathetic for Erya who was bullied. She happened to hear about this today, and was thinking about how to call someone over to give her a vegetable pancake, but time was tight and she didn't find a chance. Unexpectedly, Erya fainted first.
So when Doctor Zhang said that, she became even more furious. Didn't she want to give those Jiang family members who were so loyal to the mountain village a good fight?
As soon as Jiang Aiguo saw Aunt Wang's expression, he knew that she really knew about this, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't defend himself.
Now, some people who were originally skeptical also believed it.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang became even more arrogant and said to the usually sarcastic Li Cuihua, "See, the host doesn't even dare to deny it. Why are you, who came from such a remote place, talking so meanly?"
Li Cuihua knew she was in the wrong and felt a little weak, but she still said stubbornly, "What's the matter? The mouth is on my body, I can say whatever I want. What are you scolding me for -"
"Shut up!" The captain interrupted the two of them in time, "Everyone who is fine, get to work immediately! If you don't finish the work today, I will deduct your work points!"
The words "deduct work points" instantly cooled down the arrogant Li Cuihua. She left in disgrace because she really didn't want to see those people pointing fingers at her.
Aunt Wang put away her own bowl. She was the one who took the sugar water. After saying a few words of comfort to Jiang Yueshu, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Aiguo and followed everyone to work.
Only the team leader, Jiang Aiguo and Jiang Yueshu were left at the scene.
The captain looked at Jiang Aiguo with some disappointment, "Aiguo, you..."
Jiang Aiguo knew that he had displeased the captain, so he quickly assured her, "Captain, it's all my fault. I was too irresponsible as a father. I didn't know that woman had actually denied Erya food and drink. I thought she had eaten in the kitchen. Don't worry, I will go back and talk to her properly. This kind of thing will definitely not happen again in the future."
