Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After persuading Zhou Lan, Jiang Xia was ready to leave.

“By the way, what about your dad? Is he still going?” Zhou Lan asked, looking at Jiang Chuan lying on the bed as she was about to leave.

“Dad should stay home. Otherwise, that grandpa and grandma might order him around like a donkey, and we won’t be able to stop them,” Jiang Xia said.

Although Jiang Chuan wanted to mock the sick appearance of Old Madam Jiang, he had to admit that his daughter’s concern was valid.

“If you really meet Doctor Li, ask him to come and see me too. Let’s make this act look real,” he said.

“Alright, I’ll talk to Doctor Li when I see him.”

Their family had enough to eat lately, thanks to the interspace water and interspace vegetables. Their bodies and faces looked healthier than others in the village.

Even the previously skinny Jiang Gu’s face had filled out.

As for clothes, after the last fight with Old Madam Jiang, the family no longer hid their new clothes.

She put on the new clothes that she had made earlier.

Even without worrying about Old Madam Jiang, they still needed to be mindful of the other villagers.

Now, the mother and daughter looked entirely different.

Both their physical health and the quality they radiated had changed.

Jiang Xia noticed the difference, especially her mother’s walking style, which seemed more like going for a fight than visiting a sick person.

Normally, the women in the village would walk with their backs hunched, either from hunger or from being crushed by long-term heavy labor.

“Mother, isn’t your way of walking too conspicuous?” Jiang Xia hesitated to say to her mother.

“What’s wrong with it? I’m not doing anything wrong. I should walk with my back straight!” Zhou Lan responded, shaking her shoulders and standing tall, no longer resembling her former self.

Jiang Xia thought for a moment and decided her mother was right.

Since their family had changed, why should they continue to act as before and let others look down on them?

Saying this, Jiang Xia straightened up too, and with Zhou Lan, they boldly headed towards the Old Jiang’s house.

“Hey, who are those mother and daughter?” Mrs. Sun and her sidekick were gossiping on the roadside.

Seeing the two women passing by, they looked at them curiously.

The sidekick looked closely and exclaimed, “Oh, that seems to be Jiang Chuan’s wife and daughter!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Sun’s eyes widened, and a wicked idea formed in her mind. She grabbed her sidekick, following Jiang Xia and Zhou Lan, saying, “Let’s see where they’re going.”

The sidekick realized that something exciting was happening.

“I guess they’re going to Old Jiang’s house. The village is buzzing about how Old Master Jiang and Old Madam Jiang broke the bed!” the sidekick gossiping as they walked.

“Really?” Mrs. Sun’s eyes never left the mother and daughter, and she continued to question.

“Why wouldn’t it be true? If not for Old Master Jiang’s behavior, how would Old Madam Jiang have hurt her back?” the sidekick said with an expression full of gossip.

Though the sidekick said a lot, Mrs. Sun only occasionally responded.

She wondered how Zhou Lan had changed so much in such a short time. Her figure had improved, her complexion was better, and her walk was no longer timid.

“Hey, do you think they’re rushing to Old Jiang’s house to help again?” the sidekick continued to guess maliciously.

Mrs. Sun frowned, feeling this matter wasn’t so simple.

They didn’t look like people who would be bullied; they looked more like they were going to pick a fight.

“Why talk so much? Let’s go and see.”

“Okay, let’s go. I heard that yesterday Old Madam Jiang and her two daughters-in-law were beaten. Today, if Jiang Chuan’s family dares to show up, they’ll probably get a scolding.”

Mrs. Sun and her sidekick were indeed lucky.

They had heard a few days ago that relief food was coming, and some families were waiting for it at home, not working in the fields, and gossiping at the village entrance.

Now that there was a show to watch, the two of them couldn’t even wait to see..

The mother and daughter hurriedly walked to Old Jiang’s house and ran into Doctor Li.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhou Lan openly discussed Jiang

Chuan’s illness with Doctor Li at the door..
