It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 130

Jiang Yan successfully gave the remaining copper coins to other grandparents, uncles and aunts as gifts, and also gave them to her playmates and younger generations as pocket money, on the grounds that Uncle Jiang Xing had also accepted her gifts.

Jiang Ying looked at Jiang Yan, who looked like a money-spending boy with no shortage of money, and asked Yi Le, who was accompanying her, helplessly but curiously: "Did you girls give her a lot of money?"

Yile couldn't see clearly how much Jiang Yan had distributed to each person. She silently calculated the monthly allowance given to her by Fu Nulang and the amount of money from the Dongshan villagers present, and said hesitantly, "Not much. She probably doesn't have much money left."

Unlike most of the happy people in Dongshan Village, the few families found by Jiang Wang were in a depressed mood. Even late at night, they still couldn't sleep and tossed and turned on the kang, thinking about whether to stay or go.

The next day, Jiang Yan helped Aunt Li Yue clean up the debris in the yard, and learned the people who were leaving with them - Jiang Da and Sun Yun, old man Jiang Qi and his daughter-in-law Gao Ni.

Jiang Qi is a carpenter. When he was young, he broke his leg accidentally while working. When he went to get his bone fixed, the doctor was not very skilled and he set it crooked. Since then, his right leg has been lame ever since. He feels uncomfortable and painful in any weather, and he has difficulty moving as he gets older.

Last night, he'd heard Jiang Wang mentioning in the next yard that Fu Nulang's farm was looking for work, and he'd been tempted. He couldn't work in the fields, and with little woodworking to supplement his income, staying in the village would be a waste of food. At least Gao Ni wouldn't be burdened by Fu Nulang's farm.

Therefore, even though he was not notified, Jiang Qi still took the initiative to find Jiang Wang to sign up after considering it for a whole night.

Jiang Wang absolutely disagreed at first. Fu Nulang's house was not a charity. If Jiang Qi went there in this situation, he would only bring trouble to himself and anger others. It was not worth it.

Gao Ni saw that her father-in-law was determined to go and she couldn't persuade him, but she was also worried. She thought it would be better for her to go with him so that she could help take care of him and Jiang Yan.

Anyway, her parents moved away secretly a few years ago, and her husband was drafted for several years and his life or death was unknown. There were not many suitable options in the county for remarrying, and she was afraid of being separated again, so it was better for her to live alone.

Jiang Wang was left speechless by the father and son, so he simply looked for someone else.

The others also had to take care of their families and had never traveled far, so they were very confused.

In the end, it was Jiang Da and Sun Yun who stepped forward. They were good at farming and had no worries, so they were just the right match for Jiang Qi and Gao Ni.

Not to mention another farewell, before the group of six squeezed into the mule cart and left, Jiang Yan seemed to see a few unfamiliar faces walking out of a courtyard at the entrance of the village that had been idle for several years and looking around.

Yile didn't know who were the people in Dongshan Village when he came here for the first time, but Jiang Yan grew up here and had not lost his memory, so it was impossible for him to remember it wrong.

But seeing that there was nothing unusual in the village and they were in a hurry to return, Jiang Yan put the matter aside.

However, in just a few days, what they saw along the way back to Heding Prefecture was almost the same as when they came here, but Jiang Da, Sun Yunjiang, Qi Gaoni and the other four who had never left Rongcheng County were shocked.

During the two most difficult years for Dongshan Village, the remaining food after paying taxes was not enough to feed the children in the village. When the adults were extremely hungry, they would venture into the mountains to hunt, or at worst, they would find some unpalatable wild fruit bark to cook and eat.

"Yan'er~ Isn't it said that our county is the poorest in the mountains?" Sun Yun asked in a low voice, "People in their county town still have to dig dirt to eat?"

As they were about to enter the city, the mule cart gradually slowed down. Jiang Yan and Yi Le held thick wooden sticks and kept a close eye on their surroundings, lest anyone might faint from hunger and approach them without any care.

Hearing grandma's question, Jiang Yan distractedly replied: "Maybe there are some wild vegetables that have just emerged. They are small and we can't see them from far away."

They even didn't let go of the newly grown wild vegetables. It seems that life outside is really not easy...

Sun Yun quickly took out a kitchen knife from his bag, and then took out a pair of scissors and awl and handed them to Jiang Da and Gao Ni, and then changed the direction to guard against which Jiang Yan and Yi Le could not pay much attention.
