Kapitel 22: Take This Matter Seriously

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

After all, the people in this village had benefited a lot from Old Tu.

"No, Aunt Ju, it's alright. I just have something to discuss with Uncle." Aunt Ju was really about to fetch some grain for her, so An Jiuyue stopped her quickly.

She had just bought so much food. How could she take someone else's food? Besides, life was not easy for anyone here.

The people were already satisfied that the grain in the fields was enough to fill their stomachs after paying taxes. In fact, this was supposed to be a year of great harvest. However, they would have to eat porridge to survive because of the heavy rain.

"You're looking for him? He's not at home. He went to visit his relatives in the neighboring village and will only be back at night," Aunt Ju replied.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

An Jiuyue felt that there was no difference between telling the Junior Officer or Aunt Ju—at least she alerted them about this. Hence, she recounted what she saw.

"I went to the town today. On the way there, I passed by the Cascade River and went closer to take a look. The river water levels have risen high. We don't know when it will stop raining so I was afraid that…"

Aunt Ju gasped.

"Will there be a flood soon?"

There had been villages near the Cascade River that were hit by floods in the past. Many people had died.

"I'm not sure either, but we have to be careful, right? Of course, it'd be great if there's no flood, but if it really occurs, we have to be prepared."

An Jiuyue said honestly.

"To tell you the truth, Aunt Ju, I just came from the Chief's house. I didn't get to meet the Chief and only saw Aunt Kang. When I told her about it, she gave me a good scolding and chased me away, accusing me of jinxing everyone.

"I wanted to drop this matter since I live on the mountain and the floods will not affect me. However, there are so many people living in the village. I can't ignore this.

"That's why I came to look for Uncle. I wanted to tell him about this."

Aunt Ju's face darkened when she heard about this. "That old lady is ignorant! Jiuyue, don't lower yourself to her level," Aunt Ju said, criticizing Aunt Kang.

An Jiuyue told them about this matter out of kindness! How dare she scold her for it!

"Don't worry. When he returns, I'll tell him to take this matter seriously."

"Okay."

An Jiuyue felt relieved.

"Aunt Ju, my two children are still at home. I'll go back now."

She said, standing up as she got ready to leave. However, before she left she suddenly recalled something and turned towards Aunt Ju.

"Aunt Ju, even if we highly doubt that a flood will occur, I think we should still protect our food stock just in case. There are a few caves in the mountain. Why don't—"

"I know, I know. He knows all this too," Aunt Ju replied hastily.

In the past, they would store the food in mountain caves and assign some people to guard it whenever there was heavy rain.

"Okay."

An Jiuyue finally felt relieved and prepared to leave.

"Jiuyue."

Aunt Ju stopped her just as she was about to leave.

"Aunt Ju, is there anything else?" An Jiuyue turned around and asked.

"I heard from the villagers that you want to sell Rong'er?" Aunt Ju thought for a long time before asking hesitantly.


Kapitel 23: Bent On Selling Him

Redakteur: Atlas Studios

An Jiuyue's sons are very obedient. Although they are still very young, they often help out with many chores at home. How could she bear to sell them?

An Jiuyue had been living on the mountain alone with her two children and had difficulties making ends meet.

Hence, she would try to help her as much as she could. As long as she had food in her home, she would ensure that An Jiuyue and her children would not go hungry.

An Jiuyue was speechless.

"Aunt Ju, since you brought this up, I wanted to talk to you about it too."

"Tell me."

Aunt Ju assumed that An Jiuyue had wanted to sell her children because she was facing too many hardships. She intended to persuade her to rethink her decision after hearing her out and offer her help.

"A few days ago, Aunt Wang came up to the mountain to look for me. She tried to convince me to sell Rong'er to a big family in town and told me about all the benefits I could get.

"I was unwilling, of course! Zheng'er and Rong'er are my biological sons. How can I sell my sons? Life may be difficult for us, but we're not on the verge of starvation.

So I rejected her on the spot."

An Jiuyue recounted the incident to Aunt Ju and tried to make herself sound more pitiful, hoping that the Junior Officer would deal with the detestable old woman.

"But Aunt Wang is so persistent and won't give up until she gets what she wants. She came again yesterday, threatening to bring that family in town to snatch Rong'er from me if I continue to refuse. She's bent on selling Rong'er.

"Look, I've got this wound on my forehead because she pushed me while we were fighting over Rong'er."

She pointed at the wound on her forehead.

"I think Auntie Wang was afraid after I fainted from my injuries yesterday so she didn't snatch Rong'er away then. I thought that she wouldn't come again.

"But she came to my house again today with her two sons. I was really scared, so I scared them off with a chopper.

"Aunt Ju, can you help me tell Uncle about this? I may be a weak woman, but as long as I can sustain myself, I will never let my two children go hungry."

That's right. I have to pretend to be weak when there's a need to pretend to be weak. I have to win the villagers over and drown that horrid Aunt Wang and her family with our spits!

"That woman is too cruel! She should sell her grandchildren instead!" Aunt Ju was livid, her body shook with anger as she cursed.

She had found it strange that An Jiuyue, who lived on the mountain, would tell people in the village that she wanted to sell her children, instead of selling them in town directly.

It turned out Old Wang was spreading rumors in the village to ruin An Jiuyue's reputation because she had failed to snatch Rong'er away.

"Jiuyue, don't worry. When Uncle comes back, I'll definitely tell him about this. I'll make sure Old Wang and her family suffer!"

"Thank you, Aunt Ju."

An Jiuyue thanked her and left the village quickly, heading home.

Bored at home, the two children were washing some wild vegetables in the kitchen.

They had braved the rain yesterday to pick these vegetables with their mother. There were traces of dirt and grime on the vegetables, so they had to wash them.

However, they did not use the water in the vat.
