Chapter 112: Different Classes

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Uncle Wang, if you don’t want to draw attention, shouldn’t we change into older clothes?” Jiang Xia suggested.

At her words, Wang Wen noticed the stark difference between all their attire.

He was wearing a Chinese tunic suit, Shen Mo was wearing a military uniform, and the short man was wearing a black civilian uniform. As for Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia, they looked very shabby.

Jiang Chuan wore a blue short-sleeved shirt and black pants with patches. Jiang Xia wore a flowery shirt and a long dress with patches.

For a moment, the air stilled as the five of them appeared to represent three different social classes.

After a while, Wang Wen broke the silence, “Shen Mo and I will go change into something less conspicuous. We’ll be back soon.”

By the time everyone was ready, it was already noon. Jiang Chuan initially thought of heading back to the short man’s place for lunch as they had brought some dry food with them, not knowing when they’d be back.

However, while they were preparing, Wang Wen had already sent someone to bring Zhou Lan and Jiang Gu over.

Jiang Chuan’s family and the short man ended up having lunch at Shen’s place. Without even looking at anything else, one could tell from the quality of the meal that the Shen family was genuinely wealthy.

Since they were all eating together, Wang Wen had instructed his staff to prepare a few more dishes.

Out of the five dishes, three were meat dishes, prepared so deliciously that their aroma filled the air. As soon as the food was served, the short man couldn’t keep his eyes off it, but he knew he was at Shen’s place and didn’t want to look uncouth. On the other hand, the behavior of Jiang Chuan’s family seemed to puzzle Shen Mo. Not only did Shen Mo notice it, but Wang Wen also saw the difference.

Wang Wen glanced at Shen Mo, only to find Shen Mo’s gaze wandering towards Jiang Xia from time to time. This made him raise his eyebrows slightly.

After lunch, Jiang Chuan’s family went back to the short man’s home first. Today, Xiao Wu had lunch with the short man’s family and was quite satisfied.

Xiao Wu was invited by the short man’s mother. At first, he was excitedly telling Jiang Xia and the others what they had for lunch, but he stopped talking when he noticed the people following Jiang Chuan’s family.

Shen Mo’s group consisted of four people. Besides Shen Mo and Wang Wen, there was an ordinary-looking man carrying a backpack, and the soldier who had opened the door for them.

They all changed into typical farmer’s attire, but no matter how Jiang Xia looked at them, it felt off, especially seeing Shen Mo dressed like that, it felt oddly mismatched.

Jiang Xia couldn’t help but give Shen Mo a few more glances, but was caught by him.

Jiang Xia was startled at first, then quickly averted her gaze. Shen Mo was undeniably handsome, with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a prominent nose, and beautifully colored lips. His military demeanor only added to his attractiveness, making it hard for anyone not to be moved by his looks.

Shen Mo always felt that this little girl was different from the other girls he usually encountered, prompting him to pay more attention to her. Thus, when Jiang Xia kept looking his way, he looked back, catching her off guard. As a result, she quickly averted her eyes, and he noticed her face turning red “Sister, are you feeling hot? Why is your face so red?”

Jiang Gu, who didn’t know the reason, saw Jiang Xia suddenly turn away. She leaned over to his sister, instantly noticing Jiang Xia fanning her flushed face and curiously questioned her.

“Red? My face is not red ! Jiang Gu, you’re mistaken, let’s quickly get on the cart.”

Jiang Gu, urged to get on the cart by Jiang Xia, reluctantly complied, murmuring under her breath, “It’s really hot anyway! What’s wrong with having a red face?”

The interaction between the Jiang sisters caught Shen Mo’s eye, and he couldn’t help but reveal a trace of amusement, his expression softening.

“Shen Mo, what are you looking at? Get in the cart,” called Wang Wen, who hadn’t noticed the interaction on the side.

With Shen Mo present, the short man also joined them, but he took the Jiang Chuan’s family’s donkey cart.

Counting up, there were four people in Jiang Chuan’s family, plus Xiao Wu and Xiao the short man made six. Although Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu were children, their combined weight was roughly that of an adult. Fearing that the donkey might get tired halfway, Jiang Xia fed it extra wild vegetables soaked with interspace water.

Over their many trips to town, they always used the same donkey-pulled cart, and Jiang Xia had grown somewhat fond of this donkey.

It’s as if the donkey recognized them too. Every time they borrowed the donkey cart from the production team, the donkey would make a sound. As Jiang Xia approached it, it would lower its large head and nudge her affectionately..
