Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 95 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury

"Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"

"The Jiang family's youngest daughter has fallen into the water. Quickly go and call Granny Jiang."

Jiang He saw a crowd gathered by the river not far away. Someone had fallen into the water, and the whole scene was noisy.

Look at my little hands, hmm, I'm still a child.

He had a basket in his hand, and the basket contained some wild vegetables.

The original owner was picking wild vegetables.

Jiang He glanced at the mountain not far behind her and started walking towards it.

Jiang He sat on a large rock, receiving memories and plot details.

This is a small mountain village. The old man and woman of the Jiang family have an eldest son, Jiang Dashu, a second son, Jiang Ertian, and a daughter, Jiang Lian, whom they had late in life.

The little girl was born chubby and fair-skinned, like a lucky baby.

The old man and woman loved this daughter very much.

Moreover, after their daughter was born, the family's life got better and better; their daughter was the family's lucky star.

The eldest and second sons got married one after another.

Jiang He is the eldest daughter of the eldest son, and she is seven years old this year.

Jiang He also has a younger sister, Jiang Miao, who is five years old this year.

The second son has a son named Jiang Dahu, who is three years old this year.

The old couple also doted on their only grandson.

However, she still couldn't surpass her little girl.

Jiang He and Jiang Miao were the least influential people in the family.

Oh, and their parents, who are the second least influential members of the family.

Because she had no son, the old woman was always sullen and verbally abusive, cursing from morning till night.

They were the ones who did all the dirty, tiring, and hard work around the house.

The second wife's life was much better than the first wife's because she had a grandson.

Even meals were divided into different classes.

The eggs at home are one for Jiang Lian and one for Jiang Dahu.

If there is only one egg, it must be given to Jiang Lian.

At mealtimes, Old Man Jiang, Old Woman Jiang, Big Tree Jiang, Ertian Jiang, and Lian can eat mixed grain rice with flatbread.

Second Aunt, a flatbread and some rice crust.

Jiang Dahu, a pancake.

The original owner's mother and two sisters ate porridge and a pancake.

Well, it's supposed to be porridge, but it's basically just dishwater.

After serving the rice, my aunt removed the crispy rice crust from the pot. The rice stuck to the bottom was then rinsed with water to make a bowl of porridge.

One pancake is shared among three people.

Her mother ate half, and the two sisters shared the other half.

Father wanted to share his cakes with them, but Mother refused.

My father had to work in the fields and go up the mountain to chop firewood. He was too weak to work because he wasn't well-fed.

Then Mom will scold them again and punish them by not letting them eat.

The three of them are at home; if they get hungry, they can just drink more water.

Moreover, the sisters had no seats at the table, so they didn't get to eat any food.

However, there was only so much food for the two of them, and they finished it in just a couple of bites.

This year, the harvest was poor, and food is even more scarce.

It hasn't rained for a month, and the crops in the fields are dying of drought.

Old Man Jiang, Father, Second Uncle, and even Mother all went to the fields to fetch water.

My second aunt is fetching water from the vegetable garden.

Today, the original owner of this body went out to pick wild vegetables.

My younger sister went with Grandma Jiang to gather pig feed.

It's hot, and the pigs at home have lost their appetite. If they don't eat, how will they gain weight?

Grandma Jiang personally took meticulous care of him.

The chickens at home are also listless and don't lay eggs much anymore.

Aunt Jiang Lian stayed at home and played with Jiang Dahu.

Bored at home, Jiang Lian and Jiang Dahu went to play by the river.

Jiang Lian saw fish in the water and tried to catch them, but ended up falling into the river.

When the original owner saw her aunt fall into the water, she immediately ran over to try to save her.

However, the original owner of this body couldn't swim either, and could only stand anxiously on the shore.

I found a stick and tried to pull my aunt up.

As soon as Granny Jiang saw it, she realized that the original owner was hitting Jiang Lian, so she pushed the original owner into the river.

Those around explained that the original owner wanted to save people, but Granny Jiang didn't think she was wrong. She claimed that the original owner was using the guise of saving people to take the opportunity to beat them up.

She saw it all; the wooden stick was hitting her daughter.

Jiang Lian was rescued, but remained unconscious, which greatly worried Grandma Jiang.

He finally woke up, but remained silent and blank.

Grandma Jiang was terrified. She took the person home.

Jiang He was pulled up by a kind person, but Old Lady Jiang didn't even glance at him.

Later, her mother came and took her back home.

After Jiang Lian returned home, Grandma Jiang made ginger soup, tucked her in with blankets, and boiled water for her to take a hot bath.

After returning, the original owner only changed into a set of dry clothes.

Her mother wanted to make ginger soup for the original owner of this body, but was scolded by Old Lady Jiang.

She even asked her mother to boil water for Jiang Lian to bathe.

The original owner sat behind the stove to keep warm and ended up only drinking two bowls of hot water.

Because Jiang Lian fell into the water, Old Lady Jiang cherished Jiang Lian even more, treating her like her own precious jewel.

From then on, Jiang Lian's luck became exceptionally good.

When they went up the mountain, they either caught pheasants or rabbits.

The fruits picked from the mountain are all sweet.

They also found a century-old ginseng on the mountain and sold it in town for a lot of money.

Grandma Jiang always says that Jiang Lian is a lucky star.

Even the original owner and her sister got to drink the meat soup, eat the minced meat, and taste the sweet fruit.

It was a year of famine, and everyone else was digging for wild vegetables and tightening their belts to make ends meet.

Jiang Lian, on the other hand, ate and drank well, and became plump and healthy.

One day, Jiang Lian went up the mountain and never returned.

The entire Jiang family mobilized to find Jiang Lian.

The original owner found Jiang Lian in a mountain cave.

There was another person lying in the cave, their fate unknown.

Jiang Lian forbade the original owner to tell anyone and even gave the original owner a biscuit.

The original owner agreed.

Jiang Lian lied to Grandma Jiang, saying she saw a pheasant that ran too fast and she couldn't catch it, and she lost track of time.

Grandma Jiang was worried about Jiang Lian. What if Jiang Lian accidentally went into the deep mountains and had an accident?

Grandma Jiang wouldn't let Jiang Lian go out.

Jiang Lian was worried about the people on the mountain; one of them was seriously injured.

Jiang Lian found the original owner of the body and asked her to go up the mountain and bring some food and drink to the people there.

The original owner has left.

The original owner of the body could see clearly that the person in the cave was a man, and that the man was injured and had bandages wrapped around his body.

The original owner of this body didn't know how her aunt could be with this man, so she put down the food and left in a hurry.

For several days in a row, Jiang Lian had the original owner of the body deliver food and drink to her.

The original owner discovered that the food they were eating consisted of white flour steamed buns, meat buns, and meat porridge—things she had never seen at home before.

Maybe Grandma made these separately for my aunt. Anyway, Grandma gives my aunt extra meals every day.

The man looked fierce, and the original owner was quite scared, so she would put down the food and leave quickly every time.

She still has work to do, and she's already wasted a lot of time coming here.

If you don't hurry up and get to work, being scolded by Grandma Jiang is a minor matter; not being able to eat is the real problem.

While Grandma Jiang was away, Jiang Lian secretly slipped away to the mountain.

Jiang Lian spent some time with that man and received a jade pendant.

The original owner saw Jiang Lian holding the jade pendant and grinning foolishly, then using charcoal to write words on old clothes.

Jiang Lian wanted to go up the mountain, but was stopped by Old Lady Jiang.

Jiang Lian could only ask the original owner of the body to send over the old piece of clothing with writing on it.

The original owner of this body had never been to school and was illiterate; she only saw what appeared to be the characters for fire and wood above.
