Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Planning to Save Money to Buy a House
“This is a recipe the doctor taught , containing so nourishing dicinal ingredients,” Chiang Xiao said casually.
Chiang Songhai hadn’t seen what dicine she had picked up today, so he didn’t know exactly what had been prescribed. Hearing her say this, he didn’t inquire further and instead drank more than half a cup of Ganoderma water in one go.
After applying dicinal oil for him, Chiang Xiao told him that starting from tomorrow, she would begin painting the wall outside the school.
She didn’t tell Chiang Songhai that she had asked for a week off.
Chiang Xiao had decided that she must go to Bai Gu Mountain again tomorrow. If she didn’t, where would their family earn money from? She needed to make money not only for buying at, rice, flour, and drawing paper but also for tuition fees. Moreover, after her grandfather had been injured by Chiang Baohe, a new plan had ford in her mind.
She absolutely must raise the height of the walls around her ho; otherwise, she wouldn’t feel safe there.
Furthermore, she was also planning to save up to buy a house, although this plan, in comparison, seed more difficult. She was still hesitating whether to buy a house in the town or just go straight to buying one in the provincial city.
For now, these could only be plans, but no matter what, making money was an urgent matter.
On this day, the Chiang family’s dinner ti was a bit earlier than usual.
Since the three pounds of at they bought couldn’t be kept for long, Ge Liutao cooked it all, then ticulously rubbed it with salt, hooked it with an iron hook, and hung it under the eave outside the door.
Treated in this way, after being aired out overnight, the at would tighten up and absorb so of the salt, allowing it to be preserved for a longer period. When it was ti to eat, they could slice off a piece, cut it into thin slices, and stir-fry it with garlic to savor the rich, original at flavor that was so delicious it felt as if one could swallow their own tongue.
However, Chiang Xiao, unable to help herself, glanced at the hanging at and said, “Grandma, perhaps we should hang the at in the kitchen instead. It’s not safe outside.”
Her implication was very clear.
After all, Song Xiyun had a history of climbing over walls. With such a big piece of at hanging there, how could her foodie nose not sll it?
Besides, there was no need to rely on sll; the people from Old Chiang’s family could see the at just by looking over.
Therefore, Chiang Xiao was doubtful about the safety of the at. Unexpectedly, just as she raised her concern, Chiang Songhai glanced at her sowhat disapprovingly, then sighed and told her, “Little, Grandpa knows you hold a grudge against your uncle’s family and have complaints, but as the younger generation, even Baoguo’s wife is your elder aunt, a senior family mber. You shouldn’t suspect them like this. It’s just a piece of at—could they really resort to stealing it?”
How can one suspect the elders of stealing at without any reason?
To Chiang Songhai, this seed far too excessive.
If they were to find out, who knows how insulted they would feel? Then, if they cursed Chiang Xiao for this, he would be too ashad to defend her.
Chiang Xiao took a deep breath and said indifferently, “Alright, let it hang then. I’m stepping out for a bit.”
She just couldn’t stay any longer.
She decided to go and return the money to Song Tianyang first, and also to clear the frustration bottled up in her chest.
As for the piece of at, let it hang. Her grandparents had to suffer a few more losses to truly see the true colors of Old Chiang’s family.
If they couldn’t co to their senses on their own, even if they moved to the town or the county city in the future, it was very likely they couldn’t get rid of this family’s ridiculous behaviors.
Thus, Chiang Xiao decided not to interfere too much anymore.
Only, Chiang Xiao was mistaken this ti—it wasn’t Song Xiyun who climbed the wall, but Chiang Baohe!
That day, Chiang Baohe was pestering Liu Caiyun again.
