Chapter 251: Grain Distribution
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Jiang Gu followed them to the town, he secretly fed the donkey on the way. Ever since, the donkey has been very obedient to his family, never showing any temper halfway.
Jiang Chuan estimated that there were about eight to nine hundred kilograms of grain on the donkey cart. There are over a hundred households in Phushan Village, with at least four to five people in each household. There are also many extended families, with around twenty people in each, adding up to about eight hundred people in total.
According to Li Qing, this time, the grain distribution would be the same for everyone, young or old. Each person would be counted, which means every household could receive at least ten kilogram of fine flour. That’s a significant amount!
The fine flour mixed with bran would be both filling and nutritious. The villagers should be able to make it through the winter with no issues.
Zhou Fang looked around. The grain had just arrived, and the production team members had gone about their tasks. They were short of hands at the moment. Zhou Fang said to Jiang Chuan, “Go inform the village chief. Tell him to gather the villagers so they can distribute the grain!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan immediately went to find the village chief. When the village chief heard that the country had finally distributed food, he was so touched that tears streamed down his face. He wiped his tears and snot and immediately went to gather the villagers.
Knowing the importance of the task, Jiang Chuan helped relay the message and also went home to inform Zhou Lan so she could prepare.
Unexpectedly, upon arriving home, he ran into Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Gui.
The two had just arrived at Jiang Chuan’s doorstep, knocking furiously and waiting angrily. When they saw Zhou Lan answering the door, remembering her formidable reputation, their temper subsided a bit. Even Jiang Gui didn’t dare to act aggressively.
Zhou Lan looked coldly at the two uninvited guests.” What? You want to snatch our house again?”
Jiang Gui retorted.” Tsk, who cares about your shabby house!”
“Then why are you here?”
Old Madam Jiang stood proudly, hands on her hips, “We’re here to reason with you!”
It was laughable. The most unreasonable people in the village were trying to reason with Zhou Lan. Zhou Lan couldn’t help but laugh.
Just then, Jiang Chuan returned and asked, seeing the situation, “What’s going on?”
Zhou Lan laughed, “The old madam says she’s here to reason with us. I’m curious what kind of reasoning she has!”
Old Madam Jiang didn’t dare to bully Zhou Lan, but she had no reservations about berating her perceived ineffectual son. She glared at him, her swollen eyelids drooping so low they almost concealed her shrewd eyes.
She remarked with biting sarcasm, “I never thought I’d work so hard to raise an ingrate for all these years. When he gets something new, he only thinks of himself. At home, he hides his possessions and refuses to share them with the family. At the slightest sign of trouble, he wants to move out. You might be living a carefree life now, but have you spared a thought for your elderly parents and brothers back home?”
Seeing her audacity, Jiang Chuan sneered, “When 1 was at home, 1 worked tirelessly, providing food for everyone. After we parted ways, I didn’t even take a single grain with me. Aren’t you ashamed to say such things, Mother?”
If Jiang Chuan hadn’t known about his origins in the past, he might still have respected this nominal mother of his. However, ever since he found out he was adopted, his disdain for Old Madam Jiang was immeasurable, not to mention Jiang Gui. Every time he saw his arrogant demeanor, Jiang Chuan wanted to give him a beating!
Old Madam Jiang hadn’t expected Jiang Chuan to suddenly become so sharp-tongued and was momentarily at a loss for words. However, she still straightened her back and said, “Tell me, if you’re so close to the chief captain, why didn’t you speak up for your brother when he was vying for the position of the production team’s accountant? So all the benefits fell into your lap, and you wanted the accountant position for yourself?”
Jiang Chuan frowned, “1 don’t know what you’re talking about, but even if 1 wanted to be an accountant, there’s nothing wrong with that!” Jiang Chuan didn’t bother explaining that he wasn’t that close to Zhou Fang. Let Old Madam Jiang misunderstand if she wants to. The more she misunderstands, the angrier she’ll become. It would be best if she gets so angry that it affects her health!
Jiang Gui was tall and sturdy. He stood in front of his mother and said in a rough voice,” We all heard that you became the accountant of the production team! How dare you steal your brother’s job!”
Jiang Chuan was even more baffled. Leaving aside the fact that he wasn’t the accountant, even if he was, what did it have to do with him?
Jiang Chuan’s expression turned cold suddenly, “Whether he truly is my elder brother or not, mother knows best, doesn’t you?”
Upon hearing Jiang Chuan’s words, both Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Gui’s expressions changed, their faces darkening.
Not only did the two elders of the Jiang family know of Jiang Chuan’s origins, but even Jiang Gui was aware. They had kept it a secret all these years. But Jiang Chuan’s words indicated that he knew something.. How could he possibly know?
