Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 37: A big explosion of character and a lot of harvest

"It's a good thing that Erlang is ambitious. Once he can learn to read and write, he can become an accountant or storekeeper like his uncle. He will have a promising future."

Aunt Ya, who was helping Shen wash dishes, became more and more satisfied seeing how smart and motivated Jiang Youzhen was now.

"This kid is really arrogant now. What accountant? How can we farmers have such a fate?"

Shen is now even more worried, as her daughter is becoming more and more wild.

Don't you know the difference between men and women? You are so old now, shouldn't you pay attention to it in the future?

"I think Erlang is very clever. There is nothing he can't learn. Don't underestimate him."

Aunt Ya has already started speaking up for Jiang Youzhen. She believes that this kid will have a bright future.

Shen forced a smile, but Erlang was a tomboy!

"The steamed buns are cold. Take them back and let Chunya eat them." She took two steamed buns and stuffed them into Aunt Ya's arms.

Aunt Ya was unwilling to take it. "We have food at home. No need to give it to her."

"Take it. My kids usually eat at your place. Aren't you being too polite to me?"

The two of them declined for a while before Aunt Ya accepted it.

"This girl, I asked her to help, but she just shirked her responsibilities for some reason. Then I'll send her back and let her sew your quilt."

In fact, Aunt Ya knew that her daughter was grown up and felt embarrassed to come over because Erlang was there.

Jiang Youzhen went to the place where she set up the noose. When she saw the first noose, she smiled with joy. It turned out to be a gray rabbit.

The noose was around the rabbit's neck. It seemed to be dead and did not struggle.

"Brother Rabbit, I'm so sorry!" Jiang Youzhen murmured.

I took the rabbit down, weighed it in my hand, and found it weighed about four pounds.

Rabbits eat less in winter, but this one hasn't lost much weight.

Placing the rabbit in the backpack behind him, Jiang Youzhen put the noose back in place and grabbed a handful of cabbage leaves he had pulled earlier.

I rushed to the next trap location without stopping, only to find that there was nothing there.

Jiang Youzhen was not disappointed. He estimated that the wild animals were also hibernating and would intentionally reduce their food intake.

I went to see the third one, and still nothing.

When he arrived at the fourth place where the trap was set, Jiang Youzhen found a pheasant with a trap around its neck.

The colorful feathers stood out against the white snow, making Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but smile.

This pheasant weighs about three or four pounds, it’s great.

Jiang Youzhen hummed a few words and said that today was a good day, and rushed to the last place where the trap was set.

The last trap was quite big, and when Jiang Youzhen arrived, there was another big surprise.

What is this? She took two steps at a time and moved forward, and found a wild animal that looked like a fox, but was much larger than a fox.

It should be a raccoon dog, with dark brown fur and a face like a fox, but a not-so-small body.

Jiang Youzhen didn't know whether the raccoon dogs here were valuable, but such a large piece of game, with its fur still intact, should be able to fetch a good price.

I put the raccoon down with both hands. It looked small, but it was actually quite heavy, probably about ten kilograms.

Her good character really exploded, and she gained a lot today.

Jiang Youzhen put the backpack on his back, picked up some branches and weeds to cover it, and planned to go to the village head's house first.

The rope seemed to be digging into Jiang Youzhen's shoulders, causing severe pain.

Fortunately, the original owner's body was used to hard labor, so he had no problem walking to the headman's house.

The headman’s house was not far from the foot of the mountain, and it was a large house with two entrances surrounded by high walls.

With black tiles and white walls, it looks very imposing from the outside.

Even the courtyard of the landlord Wang’s house is not so magnificent.

Li Zheng moved to Qinghe Village seven or eight years ago. He said that his ancestors lived here. Later, everyone remembered that a foreigner named Tong lived here many years ago.

But later the Tong family moved away and haven't returned for decades.

A tiled house that was originally built in the village collapsed because it had not been occupied for a long time.

This courtyard was rebuilt after the village head came. When it was built, the villagers thought it was the villa of dignitaries because it was so grand.

I walked up and knocked on the copper ring on the door, and soon an old doorman came to open the door.

"Who are you?" asked the old gatekeeper.

"Uncle! I'm Jiang Youzhen, from the Jiang family at the end of the village. Is your young master here?"

"Oh! Is it the Second Young Master of the Jiang Family? My young master has told you to go directly to his yard to find him when you come."

As the old man said this, he called a servant to take Jiang Youzhen in. Jiang Youzhen was a little hesitant.

"What's in your backpack? Just put it here with me." The old man took a look at Jiang Youzhen's backpack, which was still heavy.

"It's just some game I caught in the mountains." Jiang Youzhen said as he took down the backpack. "I'm going to sell it in town."

She took out a pheasant and said, "This is for your master and young master to try."

This was Jiang Youzhen's original plan, but she overlooked one point. The Tong family's yard was big, and she couldn't enter the yard carrying a basket on her back.

"Wow! There are good things in there!" The old man took a look and found that there were raccoon dogs and hares.

"My young master is planning to host a banquet and is looking to buy some game. Do you want to sell these?"

The old man was very happy to see the raccoon, as it tasted delicious when roasted.

"Sell it!" Jiang Youzhen didn't feel embarrassed because the Tong family was rich anyway.

"But I'm going to keep the rabbit for my family to eat, and I can sell the raccoon dog to your family."

It's impossible to give away everything, so being able to give away a pheasant is already very good.

"Then I'll go ask my young master."

Tong Huaian's yard was not small, with pavilions, terraces, and carved corridors along the way, which surprised Jiang Youzhen.

She really didn't expect that the Tong family's courtyard was so rich. From this point of view, the appearance was still low-key.

Once inside, I discovered there was a whole new world inside!

"My young master is in the study!" The servant was quite respectful. He led Jiang Youzhen to the back of the yard and then left.

Jiang Youzhen looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a new jacket today, but his pants were very old and he didn't have time to make new ones.

Even the servant of the Tong family was dressed better than herself. Unfortunately, she had skipped through the book before and did not look carefully at Tong Huaian's real background. However, it was mentioned later that Tong Huaian came from a distinguished family.

"But Jiang Erlang? My master invites you into the study."

Suddenly, a little girl about twelve or thirteen years old came out. The girl had a pretty face and smiled before she spoke. The dimples on her face made her look very friendly.

Jiang Youzhen didn't know her name, so he smiled and nodded.

"I thought you weren't coming today."

As soon as he entered the study, Jiang Youzhen felt a wave of heat blowing towards him.

The study was as warm as spring. Tong Huaian, dressed in a dark blue cross-collared robe, sat behind the desk and looked at her with a smile.

The grey color made his skin look even whiter like jade, and his whole body exuded a soft glow.

Tsk tsk tsk! I have to say, this guy is quite good-looking.
