Chapter 126 Raising a Cat to Become a Husband 4
Father Jiang looked at the tears flashing in Jiang Wan's eyes, and then thought of what he had just said without thinking, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.
It was because of his poor health that he brought such a big shadow to the child! Wanwan only had himself as a relative, so naturally he tried his best to cure him, but what did he do just now? He actually said these words to chill the child's heart...
Father Jiang lowered his head silently, clenched his hands, tried hard to suppress the guilt in his heart, and said slowly: "Wanwan, Daddy said the wrong thing just now. Daddy will definitely live a long life. For you to live well, he will never easily assign you a marriage, unless you meet someone you like..."
Hearing this, Jiang Wan couldn't hold back his tears, and burst into tears, "Dad..."
Father Jiang felt sad. It was because of his useless body that he forced his innocent daughter to grow up quickly. How much grievances did Wanwan suffer in places he couldn't see, and how much torment did she experience in her heart? When he thought of this, Father Jiang felt a blockage in his heart, as bitter as if he had eaten bitter gall.
In the end, Father Jiang decided to leave the money with Jiang Wan. He knew himself very well. If those villagers really came to him for begging, he would definitely not be able to help himself. It would be safer to hand the money to Wanwan.
Soon, under Jiang Wan's arrangement, a construction team came to the village and measured the nearby area to build a new house for their family.
This situation naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. They all asked about ways to make money. Jiang's father was an honest man and told them the truth about Jiang Wan's trip to the mountains to dig herbs.
Some people are timid and are afraid to go into the mountains. Some are brave, but unfortunately they don't know how to recognize herbs or how to collect them correctly, so they only pick useless weeds.
After someone nearly lost his life in an encounter with a blind bear in the deep mountains, no one dared to go into the mountains anymore, but there are always some exceptions.
On this day, Jiang Wan and the aunts and wives in the village were preparing food for the construction team. He Tiantian also followed her to help, but she always looked absent-minded. She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself every time. However, when Jiang Wan asked her about it, she suddenly pursed her lips.
Jiang Wan didn't care about all this. Usually in this situation, the person would tell the embarrassing thing to the other person. Since she didn't say anything, he would just pretend he didn't see it. Why bother himself?
After this situation continued for a day, He Tiantian couldn't bear it anymore.
She quietly moved to Jiang Wan's side when no one was around.
"Wanwan, do you want to go to the mountains again?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan looked over immediately. After seeing He Tiantian's wandering eyes and tense body, she guessed about 70% of what was going on.
She shook her head firmly, "Tiantian, you don't know how dangerous the back mountain is. The money I earn now is enough for me. If I go again, I'm afraid I'll earn money but not spend it."
Hearing Jiang Wan's refusal, He Tiantian's face was full of embarrassment. After a long time, she slowly said: "It's okay, Wanwan, I will go with you. I am familiar with the things in the mountains, and you know herbs. The two of us can take care of each other. This time we will definitely be able to dig more valuable herbs."
Jiang Wan did not answer, but continued with her actions in silence. However, this invisibly added to He Tiantian's pressure. Her face and fingers were trembling with nervousness, cold sweat kept coming out of her palms, and even her lips turned pale.
It seemed like a century had passed before Jiang Wan finally responded.
"Your family forced you to go."
Being touched in the heart, He Tiantian's body trembled violently, and then she murmured softly: "No..."
"Is your brother short of money for his studies again? If this hadn't happened before, wouldn't he have been able to study normally? Is he short of the money you earned by risking your life?"
Hearing her brother being slandered, He Tiantian subconsciously retorted: "No, no, my parents said that only by spending money can my brother enter a better academy and find a better teacher. When he succeeds, I will also benefit. I will definitely not be bullied because I have someone to support me in my husband's family..."
Jiang Wan sneered, "Are you so sure that you can come back alive? Didn't you see the guy in the village who had half of his face bitten by a blind bear? He used his own sister's life to buy the silver, and he felt so relieved!"
He Tiantian wanted to say something else, but she opened her mouth and found that she didn't know how to refute it. She knew that there was a chance of death, but what if? What if they succeeded? Wouldn't Wanwan come back successfully, and then the whole family would live a good life?
If she does it, she will be the hero of the whole family, and her parents will definitely like her more...
After hesitating for a long time, He Tiantian finally managed to utter, "Wanwan, can't we go to the mountains again?"
Jiang Wan looked at her with an apologetic look on his face, "I'm sorry, Tiantian, you know, I'm the only daughter of my father, and he's seriously ill now. If anything happens to me, who will take care of him?"
He Tiantian lowered her eyes, turned around and left without even saying hello.
Jiang Wan was also a poor person who was abused. After all, he couldn't bear it and said to He Tiantian's back: "Tiantian, if you really can't stay here, then come to me. You will always be my best friend."
He Tiantian paused for a moment, but she didn't look back and just kept walking forward.
After returning home, He's parents had been waiting for a long time.
"Tiantian, what's going on? Did Jiang Wan agree to take you up the mountain?"
He Tiantian kept her head down. Seeing her hesitating and avoiding glances, He's parents felt very disappointed.
"You useless girl, you can't even do such a small thing! You are also an idiot. Aren't you the best friend of Jiang Wan? Why didn't she agree to let you come back? Don't you know how to pester her to agree?"
"Do you know that with this money, your brother can go to the best private school in town and be taught by the best teacher? If your brother becomes the top scholar in the future, how can he not benefit from you? I think you just didn't try your best! Following Jiang Wan around every day, he has learned a lot of medical knowledge, but you can't even recognize all the herbs! If you are more diligent and studious, you can go up the mountain to collect herbs by yourself, and you don't need Jiang Wan to take you!"
"..."
Listening to her parents' scolding, He Tiantian felt extremely aggrieved, but she did not dare to refute.
That is the medical skill that has been passed down from generation to generation. How could it be taught in front of a stranger like her!
He Cisheng, who was in the room, heard the noise outside. His hands holding the book tensed for a moment, but soon relaxed.
After the scolding outside the house lasted for a while, he slowly stood up and walked outside leisurely.
He Cisheng walked straight to He Tiantian and stood in front of her, his face full of indignation, "Mom and Dad, please stop talking. Even if I can't collect herbs, I can still pass the imperial examination. Please stop forcing Tiantian!"
