Chapter 80: Zhou Lan’s Thoughts
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Lan couldn’t say anything more after hearing what her husband and daughter said. However, her tightly furrowed brows didn’t relax.
Every time they returned to Tong Shan Village after exchanging things, it was the most popular time for them. The villagers waited at the door for them to return and distribute the food.
This time, two women from the Old Jiang family were among the people who distributed the grain. They stared at the basket on the carriages like hungry wolves.
The village chief asked the villagers to line up to receive the grain. Jiang Gui’s wife even quarreled with the others because she cut the queue.
Each person was given about three to four catties of coarse grain. Although the grain was small, it was better than nothing. Everyone went home after the food was distributed.
Jiang Chuan stopped the village chief to express that he had something to say. The village chief understood and led the family back to his house.
On the way, Jiang Xia heard the village chief constantly praising her family. The village chief’s wife also laughed and chatted with Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan sighed when she heard the village chief’s wife talk about how much her family had helped the village since they moved out of Old Jiang’s house. “What’s wrong?” The village chief’s wife was puzzled.
Zhou Lan looked at Jiang Chuan, who was talking to the village chief. “Although it’s a good thing that we can help the villagers, I’m a little worried.”
Zhou Lan only finished half of her sentence, which made the village chief’s wife even more curious.
“Zhou Lan, let’s talk. Old Dan and I are grateful that you can share the place where we found wild vegetables with the villagers. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell us. We’ll solve them for you.” The village chief’s wife smiled at Zhou Lan.
Zhou Lan hesitated for a moment before she said, “To be honest with you, I want to talk to the village chief to see if there’s a way to help the villagers survive the winter.”
The village chief’s wife’s eyes lit up, “If the villagers were as willing to think of everyone as Jiang Chuan and you, Old Dan wouldn’t have to worry all day long.”
Everyone knew that this year’s harvest was probably going to be finished, but the villagers knew and placed their hopes on the village officials. They waited for the organization to make arrangements. Few people would take the initiative to think of a solution.
Zhou Lan sighed again. “You’re right. But I really don’t want Jiang Chuan to be in the limelight. You know what happened to my family in the past and what the Old Sun family said. I’m really afraid that Jiang Chuan will be hated again if he gets in the limelight.”
When Zhou Lan finished speaking, the village chief’s wife understood what she meant. She recalled the gossip of the women in the village and her face darkened.
“You don’t have to worry about Zhou Lan. Old Dan and I know that you and Jiang Chuan are thinking about this for the good of our village. If anyone dares to speak like that woman from the Sun family in the future, just look for me and the village chief. We’ll help you.”
Zhou Lan felt a lot more relieved after receiving the village chief’s wife’s reply. Jiang Xia glanced at her mother and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
On the other hand, Jiang Chuan told the village chief about what happened in town.
“Chief, I’ve talked to the person who collected the vegetables this time. All the vegetables and wild animals in our village can be exchanged for food from him. After the autumn harvest, when the villagers are free, they can organize more people to enter the mountain. If they can hunt more, they can exchange it for something or save it to fill their stomachs.”
The village chief nodded and took a puff of his cigarette. “You’re right. Jiang Chuan, it’s all thanks to you for the wild vegetables this time.”
Not to mention how much food they could exchange for, just this path alone was giving the villagers an extra way to live.
“You’re too kind, Chief,” Jiang Chuan said with a smile. “Actually, I still have some ideas that I want to share with you.”
Seeing that Jiang Chuan had other thoughts, the village chief put down his pipe and said solemnly, “Go ahead.”
The village chief didn’t know if it was his imagination, but ever since he moved out, he felt that the Jiang Chuan’s family seemed to have some luck. They hunted prey, found wild vegetables, and even got to know the people in town. They were also very different from before, and they were much more lively..
