Chapter 744: There is a spoiled husband at home (3)
For the sake of the big fat pig and work points, Jiang Tang decided to visit Qiancun.
Black Bear Mountain is a big mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a small river that winds for more than ten miles to the outside of the mountain.
Because of its remote location and inconvenient transportation, Lianhua Village has become a notoriously poor village in the area. Girls from other villages are unwilling to marry here, while girls from this village want to go out and are extremely yearning for the city.
Jiang Tang walked along the bumpy road and along the river to Qiancun, carrying a basket of vegetables behind him.
She grew these vegetables herself. She can carry them to the brigade in exchange for some corn and sweet potatoes. Jiang Tang can eat them, but no matter how much vegetables she has, they won't fill her stomach. It's better to exchange them for some dry food.
Crossing the stone bridge built over the river is Qiancun.
Although it is a village, it is divided into two halves by this road. The front village is richer, while the back village is where people live at the foot of the mountains. It is generally a place where poor families gather.
Jiang Tang has no father or mother, so he lives with a grandmother who cannot work in the fields. Jiang Tang earns his work points, and the two grandmothers and grandchildren live a hard life.
Since his grandma passed away, Jiang Tang has completely become a loner, living alone in a house.
But there is something different about the Jiang family in the village, and that is her big fat pig.
There was a little piglet in the brigade that was about to die of illness, and grandma bought it back with ten kilograms of grain. The captain thought that the pig wouldn't live for a few more days, so he asked grandma to take the piglet back.
At that time, everyone felt that Jiang Nai was very confused. That was ten kilograms of grain!
In this era when food is more abundant than the sky, Grandma Jiang exchanged the family's food rations for half a year for a piglet that was about to die of illness. This kind of behavior even a fool in the village could not do.
Everyone in the village was talking about this, and everyone was laughing, thinking that Grandma Jiang was getting stupider as she got older.
But who knew that the pig, which was about to die of illness, became very lively, able to eat and sleep after staying at Jiang's house for two days.
In this way, the Jiang family became the only family in the village with a pig. A fat pig of more than 300 kilograms. How much meat would be produced if it were killed?
People in the village unanimously believed that this pig was Jiang Tang's dowry, and whoever married her would get a pig for free.
Because of this, Jiang Tang's net worth has increased thanks to Big Fat Pig. In addition, he is alone without his natal family. Whoever he marries into will have an extra daughter, and his elbows will never turn out.
Relying on these two points, Jiang Tang became a popular person in Lianhua Village. Almost everyone who had a marriageable son at home was interested in Jiang Tang. No, a row of old ladies washing clothes by the river saw Jiang Tang walking past with a basket on her back, and stopped her with a smile.
"What is Jiang Ya doing in Qian Village!"
Jiang Tang didn't stop and answered as he walked.
"Go to the team to exchange for some food."
"The food is gone!"
"No, I can't finish the green vegetables. I'll give them to exchange them."
What were the women talking about? Jiang Tang had already walked away. She first went to the brigade and found the brigade leader.
The captain was doing work in the field. When he saw Jiang Tang coming over, he squinted his eyes against the sun and shouted.
"What's Jiang Ya doing here?"
"I have vegetables here, can I exchange them for some grain?"
"Okay, you go to the accounting office. By the way, don't go to work this afternoon. I'll give you a job."
Jiang Tang frowned, with both happiness and anger on his face.
"Do work points count?"
"Forget it! You girl can do a man's work, so I will still count you ten work points today."
Jiang Tang was satisfied now and didn't care what she was asked to do, since she was strong enough to do anything.
