Chapter 11o: Their Purpose?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even though she was aware of the general situation, Jiang Xia couldn’t understand the purpose of their actions. If they left their scent to attract the wolf pack to attack, then what was the benefit of spreading the news of their death when they hadn’t seen them?
“Xiao Wu, apart from what you’ve said, was there anything else unusual?” Jiang Chuan asked.
After pondering for a while, Xiaowu responded, “I do feel they acted a bit differently before going up the mountain, but I can’t quite recall.”
Jiangchuan nodded. It was natural for Xiaowu not to remember since a considerable amount of time had passed.
“Third brother, I don’t understand what Sun Li and his wife are trying to do. They always cause trouble for you, as if they gain something when you guys are having difficulties,” Xiao Wu sighed.
This time it was Zhou Lan who responded, “Some people can’t stand seeing others succeed when they themselves arc not capable. Perhaps they were upset when they failed to take advantage of our family.”
Reminded by Zhou Lan, Xiao Wu recalled the incident when Jiang family hunted down a roe deer and old Sun’s wife made a fuss about it, and Jiang Xia didn’t indulge her. He showed a face of understanding.
“That’s right. There are always those who can’t bear to see others do well.”
Throughout the journey, whether it was life with hopes or mundane events, Xiao Wu was never short of words. Other than the rumor about their death caused by a wolf attack, the talk was about the autumn harvest. When Xiao Wu mentioned that the old Jiang family were out and about again, he looked puzzled as he couldn’t understand why after doing such a thing, they could still strut around. This amused Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu, causing them to burst into laughter.
The donkey cart walked along the familiar mountain road, making the two little girls sleepy.
“Xiao Xia, wake up.”
Zhou Lan’s call brought Jiang Xia out of her sleep, followed by Jiang Gu waking up as well.
“Mother, where are we?” Jiang Gu asked.
Jiang Xia also looked around, the surroundings seeming unfamiliar.
“This is the backyard of your Uncle Li’s house. He invited us over for a visit.”

Zhou Lan lifted Jiang Gu down from the donkey cart while Jiang Xia hopped off by herself.
Upon entering the front yard, Jiang Xia saw the short man and his friends weighing the goods her father and Xiao Wu had brought.
Seeing Jiang Xia’s arrival, the short man face bloomed into a wide smile. He asked Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia to sit inside the house while his mother fetched them some water.
Having collaborated many times before, the Jiang family had no need to negotiate the price of the goods with the short man. In less than half an hour, everything was traded.
The short man asked Zhou Lan and Xiao Wu to wait in the front hall while he invited Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia into the house for a discussion.
The short man was not a dawdler. After they settled down, he got straight to business.
“A few days ago, Officer Wang came to my house and asked about Brother Jiang and Niece Xiao Xia.”
With this formal address, it instantly brought the two families closer. Jiang Xia subtly observed the short man, realizing he truly had a talent in business.
In the past, despite appearing quite close, the difference in wealth between them always gave the short man a slight air of superiority. But today, there was no such demeanor. All he showed was a genuine intention to maintain a good relationship with their family.
“Officer Wang?” Jiang Chuan recalled the name Wang Wen.
“Yes, he is the middle-aged man who is often by Young Master Shen’s side. His name is Wang Wen, Officer Wang.”
After explaining, the short man continued, “A few days ago, Officer Wang came to my house asking about you. At first, I didn’t know what it was all about, so I didn’t say much. Later, Officer Wang mentioned niece Xiao Xia, and said that Xiao Xia had asked them to contact you through me.”
As he got to this point, he gave Jiang Xia a thankful look before continuing, “I sent someone to Tong Shan Village to find you but couldn’t. I was just about to go there myself when you guys showed up.”
The short man first explained the general situation of the matter, then talked about why Officer Wang was looking for them.
It was probably because they wanted to visit various villages, hoping that Jiang Xia could guide them, and also learn about the situation from her..
