Chapter 11
All fainted at the same time
Looking at Jiang Chuan, who was kneeling on the side, a little smile emerged from the village chief’s eyes.
This child finally knew how to stand up for himself. The way he crafted his sentence was beautiful. He first mentioned that he wanted to move out of the family, but he then twisted it in a way where he was actually thinking about the Jiang family. First, he wanted to settle the matter of Jiang Fu selling his daughter. Then, he wanted to say that he couldn’t find food and that it was a burden to bring his wife and daughter back. He made it seem like he wanted to leave for the sake of his family.
If Jiang Fu wanted Jiang Chuan to stay, it would no longer be Jiang Chuan’s problem if he couldn’t find food in the future. He already said he wanted to leave the Jiang family and not cause them any trouble, so he cannot be blamed in the future if Jiang Fu didn’t agree to his suggestion now.
However, if they didn’t stop Jiang Chuan from leaving, the Jiang family would be labeled as the family who is using their son. Only when they are able to find food will they be part of the family, but if they are of no benefit, they would be kicked out right away.
However, the best part of it all was that no matter what choice Jiang Fu made, Jiang Chuan’s family wouldn’t have to work for others in the future.
Jiang Fu was truly angry this time, and his breathing was much rougher. But under everyone’s gazes, Jiang Fu could only grit his teeth and say, “Jiang Chuan, father don’t blame you. If you didn’t find any food this time, you’ll be able to find it next time. Come, get up.”
As he spoke, he gave his two sons a look, signaling for them to help Jiang Chuan up. However, even with the amount of strength they were using, they couldn’t get Jiang Chuan up. Instead, Jiang Chuan resisted with all his might.
“Father, I’m sorry. I really can’t find any more food. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken the risk to go up the mountain. I knew there were wild beasts on the mountain, but I had no choice. We couldn’t find anything to eat, and there was nothing on the mountain either. If it wasn’t for the village chief and the villagers who came to find us, we would have starved to death on the mountain.” Jiang Chuan didn’t leave any room for negotiation. If it wasn’t for the dark sky, the veins on Jiang Fu’s forehead would have been visible.
“Brother, don’t say that. You still have your brothers, let’s think of a way to solve the food problem together.” Jiang Hua’s wife said.
Jiang Hua’s wife was good at smoothing things over. Whenever she saw that things were not going well, she would come out to smooth things over. This time, she wanted to delay things and then solve them later. However, Jiang Chuan did not give her any time to delay.
“One…” As soon as Jiang Chuan said that, something happened.
“Mother, mother, what’s wrong?” Jiang Gui’s wife interrupted him.
Everyone looked at the two of them and saw that Wang Fen had already fainted in the arms of Jiang Gui’s wife. She knelt down, put her down, and began to shout eagerly, “Mother, what’s wrong? Quickly find a doctor.”
The woman’s ear-piercing screams got everyone on full alert. Seeing that something was wrong, villagers started gathering around. Jiang Chuan also had to get up quickly. After all, she is Jiang Chuan’s mother and he had to continue acting.
Jiang Xia, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed Wang Fen’s finger move. Everyone’s eyes were on Wang Fen’s face. No one except Jiang Xia noticed this detail and this made her give off a cold look. She pinched her thigh hard and tears fell instantly.
“Grandma, we’re sorry. We’re sorry that we couldn’t find any food and made you angry which caused you to faint. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, mom and dad really didn’t mean it. We will work hard to find food in the future!”
One fainted and the other one crying, it was causing everyone to have a headache and they all hated the fact that they were not the ones who went to find the doctor previously.
After a few cries, Jiang Xia also passed out. Seeing her daughter faint, Zhou Lan couldn’t be bothered to continue pretending to be weak. She carried her daughter and ran towards the door while shouting for the doctor.
Who would have thought that after running just a few steps, Zhou Lan stumbled and fell, and she did not get up.
This drove Jiang Chuan crazy. His beloved wife and daughter had both fainted, he didn’t care about the old lady anymore. He carried the two of them and called for the doctor.
Most of the onlookers were completely dumbfounded. What was going on with the Jiang family?
“Move, move, the doctor is here, let the doctor in.” Along with the news that the doctor is here, a path opened up in the crowd.
The members of the Jiang family escorted Wang Fen into the house, completely forgetting about Jiang Chuan, leaving only Jiang Chuan, his unconscious wife, and his daughter was left in the yard.
Jiang Chuan looked in the direction of the main house with his wife and daughter in his arms.
“Jiang Chuan, hurry up and bring your wife and daughter back to the house.” The village chief said and carried Jiang Xia to the main house.
