As expected of her biological mother. Zhou Lan instantly hit Jiang Xia’s sore spot. Jiang Xia could not say a word and could only help Zhou Lan with the fire.
The dishes were sumptuous. Zhou Lan fried some green beans, stir-fried cabbage with meat, and braised chicken with potatoes.
As soon as the dishes were out of the pot, the fragrance of the meat filled the air. Fortunately, they lived at the end of the village. Otherwise, the fragrance would attract a lot of people.
Xiao Wu and Xiao Li were both young men in their twenties. As soon as they were hit with the fragrance of meat, they began to swallow their saliva. When they saw the meat, their eyes lit up.

“Brother Jiang, I think we should go home and eat! There is a lack of food now, we feel so bad that you are serving us all these.” Xiao Wu said.
Xiao Li had always followed Xiao Wu’s lead, so he nodded in agreement.
Jiang Chuan could tell that the two of them were uncomfortable. He smiled and said, “It’s okay. We caught these when we went up the mountain. Seeing that we were about to enter the mountain, we wanted to eat a good meal to replenish our strength. Xiao Wu, Xiao Li, just join us.”
After hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, the two of them couldn’t reject him again. They could only nod and agree. Their expressions relaxed a little, but they knew that Jiang Chuan had said that on purpose to take care of them.
Zhou Lan served the dishes one by one and called for everyone to eat. Xiao Gu also smelled the fragrance of the food and ran in from outside.
Seeing Jiang Gu’s look, Jiang Xia teased, “If only you could learn things as fast as you eat.”
Jiang Gu pouted unhappily. “Jiang Xia! I saw you stealing chicken in the kitchen just now!”
After Jiang Chuan’s family came, Jiang Gu became much more cheerful and could even bicker with his sister.
“Alright! Go wipe your hands and eat.”
As Zhou Lan spoke, she took out the wild vegetables that were from Jiang Xia’s interspace. The vegetables were fresh and tender and they looked really appetizing.
Looking at the table full of vegetables, Zhou Lan felt that something was missing. It was only when her gaze fell on the wild vegetables that she realized that she had not bought any sauce at home.
“Mother, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you sitting down and eating?” Jiang Xia asked Zhou Lan, who was standing by the table.
Although Xiao Li didn’t talk much, he knew how to read what was going on in people’s minds. When he saw Zhou Lan’s gaze on the wild vegetables, he understood what was going on.

Xiao Li’s house was only a wall away from theirs. In less than five minutes, Xiao Li returned with a small jar of sauce.
The meal was very lively. Xiao Wu talked about a lot of things that happened in the village, from the small things like how many eggs Aunt Wang’s hen laid at the most to the big changes in the village in the past few years.
The main change was brought about by the village chief. Ever since the village chief arrived, no one had starved to death in the village.
Jiang Chuan agreed. Although he couldn’t remember many of the major events that Xiao Wu mentioned, he had some impression of them. The reason why he couldn’t remember them was very clear. At that time, his memories of the outside world had been replaced by the memories of Jiang’s family had squeezed out.
Just as Jiang Chuan thought of this, Xiao Wu started talking about Old Jiang’s family.
“Brother Jiang! If you hadn’t moved out, we wouldn’t have known that you had such a hard time in Old Jiang’s family!” Xiao Wu sighed.
Xiao Wu was a very capable young man. He knew how to hunt and learned a lot of words. He was good at both going up and down the mountain. He was very valued by the village chief. Many girls liked him, but he did not get married because he was not interested in them.
Jiang Chuan paused for a moment and asked, “What did you think of Old Jiang’s family before?”
Xiao Wu thought for a moment and said, “In the past! I thought that they were quite ordinary. Old Jiang and Madam Jiang’s personality of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes. Then there’s Jiang Gui. He’s just a hooligan. No one is willing to fight him because he has a few more pounds on him. Jiang Chuan, you and Zhou Lan don’t talk much, so everyone was quite surprised when you exposed the matter..”
