Chapter 168: Working Together

The Jiang family was not a generous bunch at all. Even if you offered them the lowest price, they’d haggle over a couple of yuan or even a single cent. They always wanted to pay less.

The carpenter originally didn’t want to take the job offered by the village chief, which involved working for the Jiang family, as he knew their reputation. But due to his family’s dire financial situation, he reluctantly agreed.

However, upon seeing the Jiang family, they seemed different from what he had imagined.

“Yes, but not exactly,” the village chief ambiguously responded to the carpenter, leaving him confused.

Regardless, he was here to work, and getting lost in questions was unnecessary. His focus was on doing his job well.

The Jiang family had shared their wild vegetable picking spot with the villagers. Everyone could now find their way up the mountain, taking breaks to allow the vegetables to grow back properly.

With the seeds given by the Jiang family, the villagers were less dependent on foraging. Most of them were attentively nurturing their home gardens, hoping for a plentiful and healthy harvest.

Things were finally on the right track in the village, and the Jiang family could ease up a bit.

For the last couple of days, the family stayed at home, but they were far from idle, busy tidying their house.

When they first built the house, it only had two rooms and a kitchen, no living room.

With their daughter, Jiang Gu, growing up, Jiang Chuan decided to add a door in the middle of one of the rooms, transforming it into two separate rooms. He also reconfigured his and Zhou Lan’s room, freeing up space for a living room. Their newly made table and chairs would fit perfectly there.

After they stopped picking wild vegetables, Zhou Lan found herself with surplus energy. Not only did she wake up early to clean the house and prepare breakfast, but she also managed to sew a set of clothes for everyone in the family.

Zhou Lan, though seemingly easy-going, was actually quite skilled, having retained the original Zhou Lan’s craftsman abilities. The previous Zhou Lan was indeed an exceptional woman, but her talents were overshadowed by the constant farm work.

Now, with the newly reincarnated Zhou Lan, her abilities were finally put to good use.

Once the house renovations were complete, the family donned their new clothes, making it a moment of celebration.

However, they only wore the new clothes at home. When they left the house, they reverted to their old outfits.

They used to live in extreme poverty, and although they could now be considered affluent by village standards, they didn’t want to attract too much attention and cause envy.

Jiang Xia and Jiang Gu looked healthier and happier after enjoying their improved home life, especially Jiang Gu. With her round, bright eyes and fashionable twin ponytails, no one could guess that they had once been too poor to afford food.

Looking at Jiang Gu, you’d think she was a city child.

This wasn’t self-praise; even the occasional villagers who came to borrow grain couldn’t resist complimenting her

As a result, more children wanted to play with Jiang Gu, hoping to build a connection with the Jiang family.

Some straightforward kids would ask Jiang Gu directly, “Xiao Gu, where did your family get the money to buy you new clothes?”

Jiang Xia initially didn’t want to play with these kids, but upon hearing the question, she became curious about how her little sister would respond and walked over to her.

Xiao Jiang Gu lifted her hands, revealing her belly, and said to the questioning girl, “It’s not new. We got it from someone in the county town who felt sorry for us. See, it’s small. My belly is showing.”

“But it’s still new! My parents told me that any clothes without patches are new clothes!” The little girl pointed at Jiang Gu’s clothes and passionately shared her theory.

Jiang Xia was caught off guard by the sharp question.

Regarding the clothing issue, Jiang Xia hadn’t prepared Jiang Gu with an answer, and neither had Jiang Chuan or Zhou Lan. Wearing new clothes seemed to be a commonplace event in their house..
