Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Truly Generous Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Truly Generous The wild vegetables and mushrooms that were apparent, she only needed to take a small share for show, as Chiang Xiaoâs main goal lay in catching prey!
Those wild rabbits and pheasants were worth much more than wild vegetables.
âUncle, this wonât do. Letâs start with the wild vegetables; weâll sell all the ones we gathered today together. The money we get from selling them will be divided into ten parts, and Iâll only take two parts; the rest of it can be divided between you and my maternal uncle as you wish, according to your own desires,â she proposed.
âYouâre taking only two parts? Thatâs too little; that wonât do,â Ge Dejun said with a serious face, firmly disagreeing, âThis is Siyang Villageâs mountainside, and you discovered all these things. You even found the buyers and negotiated the prices. Your maternal uncle and I are just tagging along and benefiting from it; how can we let you suffer losses?â
Hearing him speak like this, Xu Linjiang also nodded, signaling that his father-in-law made a good point.
Over the years, Chiang Xiao had only experienced people like the Old Chiang Family who fought each other openly and underhandedly, almost as if they wanted to devour each otherâs flesh and blood, and people like Deng Qingjiang, leaving her quite disillusioned with human nature. Now, suddenly hearing Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang offering to give things to her so readily, she felt somewhat unaccustomed to it at first.
But deep down, she felt very warmed.
âJust listen to me, or else I wonât come anymore!â Chiang Xiao resorted to acting a bit capricious, since she was still young after all.
If they hadnât accompanied her up the mountain, she wouldnât have been able to justify coming up here alone at this hour, especially with not returning by noon as an excuse.
So, in Chiang Xiaoâs view, the help they provided her was significant enough.
When they heard her say this, Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang were somewhat helpless, yet they couldnât help but chuckle. âWe really havenât seen people who push money away.â
Chiang Xiao was truly an exceptional girl.
This gesture made them feel even more grateful to her; she must have noticed their plight and was trying to help them in every way possible.
Even though the Chiang Family was also struggling to get by.
Not just Ge Dejun, but Xu Linjiang also sincerely liked and felt compassion for Chiang Xiao at that moment.
This niece of his wife might be young, but she was indeed very kind.
He had been deeply hurt by his own family over the years and hadnât experienced much familial warmth. He received some from the Ge Family, and now he was receiving some from Chiang Xiao.
Xu Linjiang couldnât help but reach out and pat her head.
Chiang Xiao smiled at him.
âItâs mutual!â
It wasnât just her considering their situation, pushing the money their way; they would do the same, wouldnât they?
âAlright then, letâs listen to Little,â Ge Dejun laughed heartily, thinking that the two families would be as close as one in the future. Once they were capable, wouldnât they help the Chiang Family?
âThank you, Uncle,â Chiang Xiao felt a sense of relief.
After the three of them agreed on the distribution, they continued to climb up the mountain.
Having Tianxiang Greens as a surefire backup lightened their spirits.
Now, Ge Dejun and Xu Linjiang were thinking about the bracken and mushrooms.
If they could really find several dozens of pounds, their trip up the mountain would be well worth it; theyâd earn a good sum of money!
âUncle, Maternal Uncle, there are definitely big snakes on the mountain; we need to be careful,â Chiang Xiao mentioned thinking back to the snake skin sheâd seen last time.
Given the size of that snake skin, there must be snakes of that size.
Moreover, with the dense forest of Bai Gu Mountain and its rich vegetation, where humans rarely ventured, the snakes were bound to be substantial.
She feared big snakes more than wild boars or dogs.
âDidnât your grandfather give us some medicinal powder? If we come across dense grass, weâll just sprinkle more of it. Little, you stay close to me; you canât wander off,â Ge Dejun also became quite cautious.
Uh.
Chiang Xiao felt she had really dug herself into a hole.
