The next morning, Jiang Xia kindly transplanted half of the wild mint from the interspace and replaced it with the yellow soil from the field. She had Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan take it to Xiao Wu’s house.
Upon seeing Jiang Chuan, Xiao Wu affectionately called him “Third Brother” and pulled him into the house.
Jiang Chuan stopped Xiao Wu, “I need to leave soon, 1 brought you something, take a look first.”
In the past, the soil was of good quality, and wild mint was everywhere on the mountains. Xiao Wu, of course, recognized this herb. However, due to the current drought, there was no wild mint on the mountains.
Xiao Wu was a bit excited, “Third Brother, 1…”
Xiao Wu didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn these times, the most valuable things are seedlings and seeds. The first time Jiang Chuan returned from the mountain, he gave Xiao Wu and Xiao Li many seeds. Now he brought wild mint seedlings for him. Xiao Wu was deeply moved.
“No need for words, I understand.” Jiang Chuan said. “I brought this back from Grand Cloud Mountain, so it’s hard to say whether it can be planted or not, so don’t thank me yet.”
“It will definitely grow!” Xiao Wu said, his nose tingling.
Yang Liu was still in confinement after giving birth. Zhou Lan went in to chat with her, and Xiao Wu followed Jiang Chuan to plant the wild mint in the field.
Originally, Yang Liu had a big issue with Jiang Chuan’s family because she thought Jiang Chuan was weak. Even when his daughter was sold, he didn’t resist. So, she didn’t allow Xiao Wu to interact much with their family.
However, people notice changes, and Yang Liu could feel that Jiang Chuan treated Xiao Wu very well. Thus, she slowly accepted Jiang Chuan’s family.
Seeing her in postpartum confinement, the Jiang Chuan family specially came to visit, which deeply touched Yang Liu.
She is a straightforward person and doesn’t like to beat around the bush. Holding Zhou Lan’s hand, she let her sit beside the bed and said directly, “Sister-in-law, 1 was narrow-minded and careless in the past. Please don’t take my words to heart.”
Zhou Lan, having a very carefree personality, responded, “Look at what you’re saying. Our two families have a good relationship, let’s not mention these things anymore.”
As the adults chatted, Jiang Xia took Jiang Gu to see the baby.
The child’s face was wrinkled, with a yellowish complexion, clearly malnourished. Seeing that the baby was asleep and not playful, Jiang Xia felt bored and took Jiang Gu outside.
Once in the courtyard, Jiang Gu suddenly looked outside as if she sensed something. “Second sister, 1 think I heard a cat meowing.”
“Did you hear wrongly?” Cats are hard to raise, so rural families rarely keep cats, opting more for dogs. Jiang Xia instinctively refuted, but then remembered that if Jiang Gu said she heard it, she probably did, especially since she has a natural perception of animals.
Jiang Xia grabbed Jiang Gu’s hand, “Let’s go and check.”
Jiang Gu’s face lit up with excitement as they followed the sound in search of the cat.
They walked all the way to a withered grove and didn’t see any sign of a cat. Just as they were about to give up, they heard a pitiful meow.
Jiang Xia heard it too.
She looked back and saw a pitiable little white cat trapped in a tree.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe cat was snow white, with two eyes of different colors; one blue and one yellow. It looked very aggrieved and was so skinny it looked like skin and bones.
Jiang Xia was afraid that it would be too dangerous for Jiang Gu to climb the tree, so she asked her to wait under the tree while she carefully climbed up the tree.
The cat was very alert. Seeing Jiang Xia approaching, it became increasingly alarmed and meowed loudly, hoping to scare her away.
Jiang Xia was also scared because a stressed cat could easily scratch someone, but she couldn’t just watch the cat fall, so she bravely moved closer.
“Meow!” As the cat was held by Jiang Xia, it instinctively let out a loud cry and scratched her hand. Fine beads of blood immediately surfaced.
The pain made Jiang Xia want to let go, but if she did, the cat would fall. So she held on and carefully descended the tree.
Jiang Gu quickly came over to check Jiang Xia’s injury. After ensuring she was fine, she tried to hold the struggling cat.
Jiang Xia wanted to warn Jiang Gu about getting scratched, but surprisingly, once the cat was in Jiang Gu’s arms, it became very docile, even lowering its voice.
Jiang Gu gently stroked the cat’s head, “Second sister, the cat says it’s sorry for scratching you.”
Seeing the cat’s remorseful eyes, Jiang Xia forgave it and took Jiang Gu and the cat back to Xiao Wu’s house.
When Jiang Chuan returned and saw the scratch on Jiang Xia’s hand, he became concerned.
In later generations, domesticated cats were vaccinated, so a scratch wasn’t a major issue. However, this was a wild cat, and if the wound wasn’t treated, there might be a risk of rabies..
