Chapter 95: Neighbours Kindness

“Mother, you said that Jiang Chuan and his family’s life got better as soon as they went up the mountain. Why don’t we go up the mountain to take a look too?” Jiang Gui’s wife asked.
Old Madam Jiang frowned deeply. “Are you tired of living? Did you not see how those people who went up the mountain were beaten by wild beasts two years ago?”
Hearing Madam Jiang’s words, Jiang Gui’s wife instantly trembled. Those people had even lost their limbs!
However, when she thought about the things that the Jiang Chuan family had gained, she refused to give up so quickly and said, “Mother, look, even Jiang Chuan can go into the mountains to look for things. There’s no reason that only they can find it and we can’t!”
Madam Jiang sneered. “You only walked the foot of the mountain every time you go up. From what the village chief said, they want to enter the mountain. They do not want to live, do you feel the same way?”
When Jiang Gui’s wife heard this, she stopped arguing with her mother-in-law. It was true they had quite a bit of food left. There was no need to gamble their lives.
The news about Jiang Chuan’s family had spread, and those who were close to the Jiang family naturally knew about it.
As soon as Jiang Chuan and Jiang Xia returned home, they saw Xiao Wu and the man next door sitting in the living room.
Jiang Chuan’s house wasn’t big, and the space was a little cramped with two men sitting in it.
Jiang Xia was a sweet talker. As soon as she saw the two of them, she called out, “Uncle Wu, Uncle Li.”
Jiang Chuan’s neighbor’s surname was Li. Like Xiao Wu, he was also single.
The man surnamed Li was called Li Jian. He was named by a knowledgeable teacher in the village. From his name, one could tell that the teacher had high expectations for him.
He was the only one in his family. In this day and age, it was better to have a large family so one could take care of the other. It was also because of this that he had not been able to marry a wife in his twenties.
In fact, there was another reason other than being alone. Unlike Jiang Gui, Li Jian did not like to talk. Instead, he was independent and good at his work. He helped a lot when they were building Jiang Chuan’s family house.
Jiang Chuan didn’t know why the two of them were at his house. He asked, “Xiao Wu, Xiao Li, what brings you here today?”
“Brother Jiang, I heard that you’re going up the mountain!” Xiao Wu said with a smile, “I’m afraid that it’s not safe for you to go up the mountain alone so we want to follow you!”
Jiang Xia was dumbfounded when she heard this. If they really brought them along, they wouldn’t be able to take out a single item from their car. Wouldn’t it really become survival in the jungle?
Jiang Chuan also understood this point, so he tactfully refused, “The autumn harvest is coming soon. You guys are still busy with your work. We can go up the mountain ourselves.”
“It’s okay, Brother Jiang. I don’t think we need so many people for this autumn harvest. It won’t delay anything if we don’t go.” Xiao Wu continued.
Jiang Chuan was helpless, but the two of them were telling the truth. With the grain production this year, even if a few people didn’t go to the field, it wouldn’t affect the speed of collecting grain.
However, even if they really wanted to help, Jiang Chuan could not agree. He could only continue to refuse. “I’m sorry! Xiao Wu and Xiao Li, I know you want to help, but as you can see, we only prepared the things for the four of us. It’s really…”
Since Jiang Chuan had already said so much, Xiao Wu and Xiao Li were not people who could not read his eyes. They took the opportunity to say, “Brother Jiang, you have to be careful when you go up the mountain. The few people who were bitten to death a few years ago are a good example!”
The few people who were bitten to death? Jiang Xia thought of something and quickly asked, “Uncle Wu, what do you mean bitten to death? Arc there any ferocious beasts in the mountains?”
Xiao Wu was stunned by Jiang Xia’s question and looked at Jiang Chuan. Wasn’t this matter a big deal a few years ago? Why did Xiao Xia look like she didn’t know?
Jiang Chuan recalled that there was indeed such a thing. However, Jiang Chuan had been tortured by Old Jiang’s family at that time, so he didn’t hear many gossips. He didn’t know much about the matter.
“At that time, Xiao Xia was sick and Xiao Gu was not in good health. They didn’t give us money to see the doctor. We were all busy taking care of the family and didn’t pay much attention to it.” Jiang Chuan said..
