Jiang Xia was by no means kind-hearted; what she excelled at was ensuring others tasted the consequences of their actions. For those who bullied her, Jiang Xia would undoubtedly make them experience the same feeling.
After hearing his second sister’s words, Jiang Gu nodded as if he understood but was still confused, growing more curious about what she was planning to do.
Jiang Xia remembered hearing that Wang Niu and Jiang Gui’s daughter had an age difference of eight years, but their relationship was quite close. These two, during their primary school days, loved to form cliques and isolate others. Relying on their larger physique, they would beat up those who didn’t obey them. Many children would comply just to avoid getting beaten.
Now that Jiang Hong was about to get married and leave, Wang Niu was the only one left to oversee the children in the village, even taking pleasure in expanding her influence.

Jiang Xia noticed that these children seemed to be picking wild vegetables by the river. The boys were responsible for digging up the vegetables and looking for cicada shells, while the girls washed the vegetables in the river.
They weren’t doing this for their consumption, but to exchange these for some money and stored food for the winter. Since it was the school holidays, the adults were busy sowing corn seeds, leaving the task of gathering wild vegetables to the children.
Jiang Xia realized that these children couldn’t differentiate the good wild vegetables from the bad ones. They dug up anything green they saw, even the newly sprouted ones.
Given their method, these wild vegetables wouldn’t sprout again by next spring, potentially ruining the livelihood Jiang Xia’s family had managed to secure for the village.
These adults just told the kids to work but never taught them how to do it properly. It was so inconsiderate. Children should be brought up well, not merely increase the population!
She had to stop them!
An idea struck Jiang Xia. She asked the children, “Are you picking these wild vegetables to exchange for food at the co-op?”
Everyone was busy with their tasks, and no one paid her any attention.
Jiang Xia had anticipated such a reaction, especially with the influence of Wang Niu still present. The children feared Wang Niu’s threats and knew that responding to Jiang Xia might lead to getting beaten.
Jiang Xia then revealed her most charming smile, the kind she believed no one could resist, and said, “I have a way to make money that’s more convenient than trading wild vegetables at the co-op.”
The kids, being naive, grew excited about the prospect of earning money and ignored Wang Niu’s threats. They gathered around Jiang Xia. A chubby kid, close to Jiang Hu, was the first to ask, “Sister Jiang Xia, what’s this money-making method you’re talking about?”
Feigning mystery, Jiang Xia looked at the crowd and asked, “Do you all want to know?”
They all nodded in agreement.

“Your house?” They looked puzzled.
A little girl close to both Xiao Pang and Jiang Gu tugged Jiang Gu’s clothes, “Xiao Gu, is your second sister trying to trick us?”
Jiang Gu instantly held his chin high, his face full of certainty, “Not at all! My second sister never lies! If she says she’ll buy, then our house will buy!”
Upon hearing the possibility of making money, Wang Niu’s eyes lit up. After all, who would turn down money?
But she didn’t believe Jiang Xia could produce so much money to buy the wild vegetables. She thought it was a bluff. How could a little kid like her make such decisions on behalf of adults?
Wang Niu scoffed, “Don’t bite off more than you can chew. A basket of wild vegetables can be exchanged at the co-op for flour worth four yuan! Can you match that?”
Hearing Wang Niu’s words, the children became skeptical, their eyes turning to Jiang Xia, waiting for her response..
