Chapter 270 The Female Cannon Fodder Who Falsely Claims Favors in the Historical Literature 11
Jiang Yueshu lowered her head and listened to Jiang Aiguo's hypocritical confession and assurances, sneering in her heart.
You see, he kept saying he didn't know anything, and only said that she was short of food and drink, and never mentioned anything about medicine. Isn't it obvious that he didn't want to pay for her medicine?
When the captain heard Jiang Aiguo's assurance, his expression relaxed a little.
Although Jiang Aiguo's words might be an attempt to shirk responsibility, at least it would be good to have a guarantee, so he said, "Well, Aiguo, Erya is your Jiang family's child. Since you gave birth to her, you must be responsible to the end. If your family continues like this, and Erya faints a few more times, there's no guarantee that the news won't get out one day. If that group of people finds out, the team won't be able to protect you!"
If someone reports it, it will be confirmed, and those Little Red Guards may come to investigate.
He didn't care about what Jiang Aiguo was thinking, no matter whether he was willing to pay for the medicine or let Erya eat her fill. What he wanted was the result. If Erya fainted again, no one would have an easy life!
Jiang Aiguo's expression immediately became stern, and he said with an urgent and firm tone, "Don't worry, Captain, this will never happen again!"
The captain nodded and suddenly remembered something. "I won't arrange Erya to dig the ground when we go to work tomorrow. If she continues like this, she will definitely need to find another job."
Jiang Aiguo nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, the captain will make the arrangements, and we will cooperate!"
With this, Jiang Yueshu was allowed to go back and rest.
Jiang Yueshu happily continued to go up the mountain with the basket on her back. She didn't have much free time, so when she had time, she would naturally think more about making money.
The next day when Jiang Yueshu went to work, the team leader assigned her the task of cutting grass for pigs. She only had to collect the required number of pig baskets in one day.
It's a light job, so the work points are naturally not many.
Fearing that Jiang Yueshu would faint again, he specially arranged for several other people in the village who were going to cut grass for the pigs to help look after her. If anything happened, they would quickly call for help.
Jiang Yueshu repeatedly responded to the captain's worried advice and went to work with farm tools and a backpack.
On the first day of cutting grass for pigs, there were other teenage girls or aunties from the village who also had to cut grass for pigs following her and paying attention to her from time to time.
So she could only secretly speed up her work. Although the woman working with her felt that she was being a little too stubborn, she felt relieved when she saw that she did not have the previous situation and started cutting grass for the pigs efficiently.
But she had other things to do, and of course she didn't want to waste time on this matter.
After she worked for three days in a row without fainting again, the team leader finally felt relieved and stopped keeping her under control. Jiang Yueshu's journey to the mountains and wealth gradually got on track.
After three consecutive days, including the prey that she had troubled Cheng Shuo to sell before, she had about fifty yuan in her hands.
As soon as she finished her task that day, she went up the mountain with a backpack on her back. After walking for an unknown period of time, Jiang Yueshu heard footsteps getting closer. She glanced to the side and saw Zhao Xue and Lu Jianjun. They seemed to be here for hunting. They not only had various tools in their hands, but also a wounded pheasant in their backpacks.
The reason why Jiang Yueshu knew it so clearly was that Zhao Xue came here to show off hypocritically.
Originally, Jiang Yueshu had no good feelings towards these two people and just ignored them as if she didn't see them, but Zhao Xue came over first.
"Comrade Jiang, are you here to pick wild vegetables?" she asked with a smile.
Jiang Yueshu just nodded slightly and concentrated on digging the herb on the ground that Zhao Xue called "wild vegetable".
Zhao Xue was displeased to see her so cold, but she continued to speak gently, "I think so too. The pheasants and rabbits on this mountain are very agile, and it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them. Even if we want to eat them, we don't have that luck."
"Unlike my family's Jianjun, the soldiers who served in the army are different. We just went up the mountain for a while, but we caught a pheasant."
Zhao Xue felt happy and proud, as if she had caught the pheasant herself.
Seeing that Jiang Yueshu still had no reaction, she even grabbed the backpack, shook the fresh pheasant in front of Jiang Yueshu, and pretended to sigh.
"Er Ya, look at this chicken. It's really fat. It must be around 4-5 pounds! Right? Everyone is craving meat right now. This is not enough for our family to eat. Otherwise, I would really like to tear some off for you as an apology for last time."
Last time, this woman cheated her out of a lot of money. Outsiders said that it was because she said something she shouldn’t have said, so Jiang Erya fainted from anger, leaving her in a state of humiliation!
Although Doctor Zhang diagnosed that she was indeed fainted, it might just be a coincidence. How could he blame it all on himself?
Those gossiping old women in the village have been saying bad things about her these past few days. She had finally calmed down and went up the mountain with Jianjun, but she ran into this damn woman again!
Now that there was no one around, she would take good care of her. Even if Erya fainted from the shock, it had nothing to do with her, not to mention that no one saw it.
Jiang Yueshu glanced at the obvious pride on Zhao Xue's face and the resentment deep in her eyes. She really couldn't understand why Zhao Xue seemed to have some deep hatred with the original owner and was always looking for trouble.
Seeing Jiang Erya being humiliated, Zhao Xue felt even more proud. Just as she was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks to vent her pent-up anger, she was suddenly pulled by someone.
Zhao Xue frowned and was about to scold when she saw Lu Jianjun pointing at a certain place with a serious face. It turned out to be another pheasant.
Zhao Xue was happy, and turned around and gave Jiang Yueshu a provocative smile, intending to let Jiang Yueshu see how her Jianjun caught the pheasant.
Lu Jianjun quietly drew the bow and arrow, aimed at the prey, and shot the crude arrow before the pheasant could move.
The arrow was flying at an extremely fast speed and was about to hit the pheasant. At this time, Zhao Xue did not forget to look at Jiang Yueshu with a smug look on her face.
The next second, the sound of the pheasant flapping its wings in fear made her expression freeze instantly. She looked back in disbelief. The pheasant actually dodged the arrow at the critical moment.
Zhao Xue reacted very quickly, and instantly retracted her smugness and surprise. Instead, she tried to save face in front of Jiang Yueshu, "See! I told you! The pheasants on this mountain are really hard to catch. Even Brother Jianjun, who is so skilled, failed. If it were someone else, the chicken would probably have run away before they even shot the arrow!"
Jiang Yueshu raised her eyebrows. Seeing Lu Jianjun drawing his bow and arrow for another attack, she moved her wrist slightly and threw a stone at the pheasant that was fleeing in panic.
So, in the stunned sight of Lu Jianjun and Zhao Xue, the pheasant that was originally jumping happily suddenly fell to the ground. The sound of the stone falling to the ground and the conspicuous arrow feathers on the pheasant made the two realize that it was hit by two people at the same time!
But there were only three of them at the scene. If the arrow was shot by Brother Jianjun, then whose stone was it? Could it be -
Zhao Xue's stunned eyes fell on Jiang Yueshu.
No, that couldn't be the case. She's just a country bumpkin who knows nothing. How could it be her?
Jiang Yueshu said to Zhao Xue in a sarcastic tone, "It seems that I am lucky today!"
Jiang Yueshu picked up the small stone in her hand and shook it at the two of them.
Zhao Xue's face turned red instantly, as if someone had slapped her in the face out of nowhere. Only then did she know what it felt like to be slapped in the face.
Lu Jianjun looked at Jiang Yueshu in surprise, and a hint of admiration slowly mixed with the indifference in his eyes.
Although he was injured while on a mission in the army and his strength in all aspects had declined, her neat hitting movements still amazed him.
The silence of the people around her naturally caught Zhao Xue's attention at the first moment. After noticing the undisguised admiration in Lu Jianjun's eyes, she became bolder and couldn't help but mock him.
"That's right, Jiang Erya - you were just lucky today. If Jianjun hadn't shot an arrow first and scared the pheasant, you wouldn't have been so lucky!"
Lu Jianjun frowned slightly as he listened to the nonsense, and then he heard Zhao Xue continue to speak.
"Besides, Jianjun shot it before you did. You only hit it because the pheasant couldn't move. You really think it's your own ability. It seems that some people really like to take credit as always—"
Zhao Xue's words became more and more reasonable, and she spoke very quickly. Lu Jianjun couldn't help but said, "Stop talking."
Zhao Xue was stimulated by these words and spoke even more frantically, "What? Did I say something wrong? You clearly didn't save Jianjun before, but you agreed to the marriage without saying a word——"
Lu Jianjun's face was extremely ugly at this point, and he raised his voice and shouted at the dazed Zhao Xue, "Enough! I didn't hit the target at all!"
Zhao Xue thought he was deliberately going against her. She didn't want her to scold Jiang Erya, so she turned her head and looked at him angrily, "Lu Jianjun! Do you regret it? The arrow feather is obviously yours, and you are still helping her!"
Just at this moment, a nonchalant voice sounded.
"Oh, Zhao Zhiqing, you taught me a lesson today. I finally know what it means to confuse right and wrong!"
At this time, Zhao Xue felt that she occupied the moral high ground and felt that she was terribly strong, so she immediately confronted him.
"What are you talking about?"
When he saw the wild Cheng Shuo opposite him, he was silent for a second, and said with an unpleasant expression, "What do you mean?"
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Yueshu, and she kept despising Jiang Yueshu in her heart, thinking that she was such a country bumpkin who was good at flirting with people, otherwise why would everyone speak for her.
Cheng Shuo picked up the pheasant that was "sleeping" peacefully on the ground, and carefully exposed the end of the arrow feather, which was tied with a small piece of green straw rope.
"What? Are you blind? This arrow feather belongs to you? How can you be so shameless!"
Zhao Xue's anger, which had been slightly suppressed because of Cheng Shuo's expression, flared up again. She said stubbornly, "That's not my home—"
When he saw the bare tail end of the arrow in Lu Jianjun's hand, his mind went blank and he fell silent instantly.
Only then did she suddenly realize that the second arrow that Lu Jianjun was about to shoot was still in his hand!
Zhao Xue stared blankly at the arrow feather in Lu Jianjun's hand——
So, it wasn’t Lu Jianjun who shot it at all!
And she had just been showing off to others, and even thought that Lu Jianjun was favoring Jiang Erya, so she got angry with him.
When Zhao Xue thought about how stupid the thing she had just done was, she felt so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into, especially when she had to embarrass herself in front of Jiang Erya, whom she despised the most.
Jiang Yueshu looked at Zhao Xue with a speechless look. She really couldn't expect that her train of thought was so strange. Seeing her shy look, she couldn't help but feel something in her heart and continued to poke Zhao Xue's heart in a very tactful way.
"So this is what it means to confuse right and wrong! Zhao Zhiqing, you know I didn't go to school much, but you demonstrated it to me in person. That's right, if there's really something wrong with your eyes, you can't just take it lightly."
"And your brain, we've only been married for a few days, have you forgotten the apology you made to me the other day when you slandered me? I never said I saved Lu Jianjun, it was him, Lu Jianjun, who found the wrong person and proposed the wrong marriage, why haven't you said anything about him?"
After a pause, she didn't look at Zhao Xue who was about to get angry, but turned her gaze to Lu Jianjun.
"Comrade Lu, it seems that your new wife has a lot of problems. She is anxious, forgetful and irritable. If possible, you should go to the hospital for treatment, so as not to piss off everyone!"
After hearing this, Zhao Xue hated Jiang Erya to death in her heart, but what she had just done was really embarrassing, and she was also angry at Lu Jianjun. She didn't know how to deal with it for the time being. She just hoped that her husband would be more motivated and know how to protect his wife.
As if he had heard her thoughts, Lu Jianjun looked at Cheng Shuo with a gloomy face, "She just admitted her mistake. Is it necessary for you to speak so harshly to her?"
After saying that, he looked at Jiang Yueshu with complicated eyes, "Sorry, she said the wrong thing, but there is no need for you to hurt her like this!"
What is impatience and blurry eyes, what is forgetfulness and irritability?
It's just a few wrong words, why do you have to be so persistent and aggressive and speak ill of me?
This dissatisfaction even made Lu Jianjun dislike Jiang Erya, and he no longer had the appreciation he had at the beginning.
After all, he had tried his best to make up for what he owed her. As Zhao Xue's husband, he naturally had to be more supportive of his wife.
Jiang Yueshu looked at Lu Jianjun coldly, what a self-righteous double standard dog!
Cheng Shuo was the first to sneer provocatively, "Bad words? I'm just telling the truth. Lu Jianjun, you've been in the army for a few years and you're really impressive. But your temper has become even more unbearable. You even want to say that to a little girl?
"What did she say? You used it to hurt her? You knew your lover said something wrong, but you didn't let her say anything?"
Lu Jianjun had a gloomy face and seemed extremely unhappy with Cheng Shuo. He heard Cheng Shuo's annoying voice continuing.
"Besides, your archery skills have deteriorated drastically. Five years ago, you couldn't beat me. I didn't expect that after training for so long, you're still such a loser!"
five years ago?
Zhao Xue and Jiang Yueshu were both a little surprised when they heard this. Zhao Xue looked back at her husband in disbelief. How could this be possible!
