Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Youâre Really Amazing Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Youâre Really Amazing However, Chiang Songhai had many things to instruct her about, and she also had things to instruct them.
âGrandpa and Grandma, weâre going up the mountain today, and we might not be back until sunset. You should also be careful at home. Itâs best to lock both the courtyard gate and the hall door. Donât go out today.â
She really didnât trust the people from the Old Chiang Family. Fortunately, Chiang Baohe couldnât walk and was in the town hospital. Chiang Songtao had to look after him, and Chiang Baoguo still had a weakness in her hands, so she guessed they wouldnât come to cause trouble.
It was just to be prepared for anything.
Chiang Songhai felt uneasy listening to her be so defensive against the Old Chiang Familyâs people, but he couldnât think of any reason to argue, so he could only sigh.
âGrandpa, youâve already been injured, and Grandma got pushed and took a fall. What expectations can you still have for them?â
What?
Upon hearing this, Ge De Junâs face darkened, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to hold back his words. It was clear that bringing up this matter was bringing Chiang Songhaiâs mood down. He would ask Chiang Xiao about it later.
Chiang Songhai had nothing to say when interrogated by Chiang Xiao and could only respond, âI understand, Little. Grandpa will listen to you. We will rest well in the house today and wonât even open the door if Uncle and the rest come knocking, is that okay?â
After hearing this, Chiang Xiaoâs expression finally softened. She walked over and hugged his arm, giving it a shake, âThatâs right, Grandpa. You wouldnât want me to worry about you while on the mountain, would you? Iâve boiled a pot of water for you to drink more of.â
She had also boiled a pot of Ganoderma water, enough for them to drink for the whole day.
When she woke up today, she found their spirits much improved from yesterday. It was clear the Ganoderma water was having a great effect.
Chiang Xiao believed that if they drank the Ganoderma water every day, their injuries would heal faster, and their health would also improve.
Chiang Songhai felt sweet as if he had sipped sugar water when she coddled him like this, listening to her two sentences full of concern. The sour feelings were washed away in an instant.
âOkay, Iâll listen to everything Little says,â he said with a smile, repeating himself.
After Chiang Xiao finished instructing them, she slung her small basket over her back and set off toward Bai Gu Mountain with Ge De Jun and Xu Linjiang.
She had risen extremely early today, and even now as they set off, it was not yet eight oâclock.
However, clusters of villagers were already heading to the fields. Seeing Chiang Xiao leading people towards Bai Gu Mountain didnât raise any suspicions since Chiang Xiao often used to go to Nameless Creek alone.
The most they wondered about was the identity of the two men following her, but they were too far away to see clearly. And being no gossips like Niu Guiying and Ho Laidi, they glanced once and forgot, not making anything of it.
Once Chiang Xiao and her companions walked a bit further, there were no more people around, and everything was quiet. The chirping of birds was crisp, the air was fresh, and the scent of grass and wildflowers made oneâs mood bright.
Thinking about the potential gains from this trip up the mountain, Chiang Xiaoâs steps were light. Her ease and joy naturally affected Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang, lessening the unease in their hearts.
They couldnât be outdone by a young girl, could they?
On the way, Ge Dejun asked about what Chiang Xiao had said earlier, âLittle, what did you mean when you said your grandma was pushed to the ground?â
Had someone bullied his eldest sister after they left yesterday?
Chiang Xiao scoffed and narrated yesterdayâs events, including how she had knocked Ho Laidi to the ground with a kick and splashed her with a bucket of foot-washing water, Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang were utterly stunned.
âLittle, you really are something else!â Xu Linjiang couldnât help but praise.
Chiang Xiao laughed, âUncle, donât you think Iâm disrespectful and unfilial?â
