Chapter 60: Chapter 60 We’re Rich Now
Their family was already smart and hardworking, but the spare cash they had was only enough to build a small house. Besides, they needed to pay for their two sons’ education in the future—who would want to spend so much money?
Sun Lixia wished she could give them a piece of her mind to vent her anger, but she was afraid that the head of the household might hear her from the main house, so she could only curse under her breath for quite a while.
“The elders’ hearts are so biased they’re off the charts! Why should it be?!”
Jiang Changtao certainly felt the sa way in his heart.
His eldest brother was nothing but a good-for-nothing, yet he was favored by grandparents and parents alike.
He was the youngest, but he was always the one who got the short end of the stick.
Whenever he thought about it, his heart ached with bitterness, and it even felt a little feverish.
On the other hand, the atmosphere in the main house was unusually relaxed.
Su Wanyu lay on the bed, chewing on a big at bun, taking big gulps along with a soft drink, her pretty face filled with satisfaction: “These at buns are just so delicious, Brother Hai, you are so capable. It’s been days since I’ve had a good piece of at, it’s always just scraps of fat.”
Jiang Changhai felt elated inside, massaging his wife’s legs which were sore from labor, “Look how you’ve lost weight again, you need to eat more at, you look prettier with your little face all rosy.”
“It’s because my man is the best, letting have at to eat.” Su Wanyu kissed Jiang Changhai, her eyes full of tenderness.
Jiang Changhai hugged his soft and fragrant wife tightly and planted a loud kiss in return: “I can’t let my beautiful wife go hungry!”
Suddenly feeling like she was force-fed public displays of affection, Jiang Mianmian: …
She silently opened her textbook and began to do her howork. After finishing, she entered the Scholar Tyrant System space to study.
Although the schoolwork of the fourth grade was very simple for her, who could say that learning has an edge, by going back it is the shore…
It seed like sothing was off?
“It’s ‘learning is boundless, hard work is the boat’, Host, you need to study more,” corrected the Scholar Tyrant System.
“Close enough,” Jiang Mianmian waved her hand and lowered her head to read.
She didn’t know how long she had been studying when she was suddenly poked in the arm.
Opening her eyes groggily, she saw her parents already dressed and ready to go: “Daughter, it’s ti for so serious business. Everyone else is asleep.”
“Right on it!” Jiang Mianmian instantly snapped into action and quickly got out of bed and put on her shoes.
Then the family of three, each carrying a sack, sneaked out under the moonlight. Accompanied by the Jiang family’s snoring, they quietly slipped to the bridge at the entrance of the village, where the mouse hole was the sa as always.
Jiang Mianmian stood guard at the entrance while her parents dug and sifted the soil, coordinating much more energetically than when they worked in the fields.
After more than half an hour of toil, they completed the task of unearthing all the grains from the storage pit—they actually filled up three sacks!
“We’ve struck it rich, this has got to be a hundred pounds, right?!”
Su Wanyu, dirty and with earth on her beautiful face that couldn’t hide the excitent and surprise in her eyes, exclaid.
Although most of it was coarse grains like peanuts and corn, the sheer volu was impressive.
Jiang Changhai weighed the sacks and was quite satisfied, “Each sack must weigh at least seventy to eighty pounds, we’ve made a fortune now!”
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian’s little face blushed with excitent, her hands rubbing together, “Does that an we can have big at buns at every al now? I don’t ever want to eat coarse grain flatbreads again!”
Nowadays, coarse grains weren’t ground into fine flour like in later tis, they were large granules that really scratched the throat!
“Right, we can sell all these coarse grains and we’ll have plenty of cash,” Jiang Changhai rubbed Jiang Mianmian’s little head, “Then our family of three can afford to eat at at every al.”
