Chapter 206: Chapter 203: I Want to Be a Decent Person Too

“In the future, no need to create incidents on purpose. Just keep an eye on people, and if they don’t get into trouble, that’s fine. But once you find something… quickly let me know… or report it directly.”

Ermao San Gou were shocked, their mouths open wide. Their brother’s approach to handling things had really changed.

They’re still keeping an eye on the snakes, but the requirements are different. At first glance, they thought they were informants for the police!

Ah, pfft! Where would they be blemished? They’re just proper street punks.

Ermao San Gou originally wanted to persuade him a bit, but suddenly remembered Jiang Family’s Xiao Mingyue, and both shuddered involuntarily. Well, it’s better to live life properly, their brother like this… is quite good!

“We listen to Liu. What Liu says must be right.”

Liu Siyuan gave them a cold look.

“By the way, do you guys want to go to Nanxi City to find a legitimate job?”

Ermao San Gou stared at Liu Siyuan as if seeing a ghost.

Ermao: “Liu, are you serious?”

San Gou: “Liu, don’t scare me, I feel like I’m about to lose my breadwinner.”

“You guys are just foolish, having a legitimate job, earning money honestly isn’t good?”

San Gou: “Liu, are you really serious?”

“What do you think?”

San Gou licked his lips: “Liu, just my brother and I like this… who would want us?” It’s not that they despise themselves, it’s the reality; uneducated and years as punks; haven’t even planted a field properly, which employer would dare to want them?

“San Gou, you underestimate yourself. I’ll say it again: as long as you want to.”

San Gou and Ermao exchanged a glance, this time they were serious.

“We want to! But Liu, once we start working, what about the snakes?”

“Even if you’re working, you’ll have breaks. Actually, you don’t need to keep a tight watch, just be aware of it.”

Ermao San Gou: “So brother, what about you? Are you coming with us?”

“Yeah.”

Even after Ermao San Gou walked some distance, Liu Siyuan could still hear their conversation.

“San Gou, what happened to Liu? Why has he suddenly changed.”

“Ermao, I feel this is a good thing. Continuing like this is not the way. Good girls avoid us, you wouldn’t want to marry a scraggly girl, right?”

Ermao: “Of course I don’t want that. I like gentle girls who care for me, and can’t look worse than me.”

Liu Siyuan: Looks like they can strategize themselves, adapting well!

When Jiang Mingyue was leaving, Xia Xiaosi and Fang Tao still hadn’t returned to the educated youth station, so she also rode away.

Back at Qingshan Village, it was just lunchtime. Xiao Jiang Ran had left a note saying he finished his task this morning and went with Xiao Meng to find food for Coal.

Jiang Mingyue sighed, thinking that you should ask what Coal likes to eat!

Just out of spices at home, Jiang Mingyue stuck a broom on the wind-blocking fence in the backyard, waiting for Liu Tiezhu to arrive. She planned to ask for some carrot seeds, not sure if he could get them. If he could, she’d plant them in the backyard. Qingshan Village had just white radishes, which were very spicy, lacked water and sweetness, Coal tried it once and never ate them again, the little thing had been spoiled by Xiao Ran.

However, Jiang Mingyue was very pleased Xiao Ran’s handwriting improved a lot compared to last month. The small guy, although clever, still has to practice bit by bit when it comes to writing. The little one was currently most puzzled by his writing, not reaching his sister’s level, although Jiang Mingyue patiently explained to him, writing is different from rote memorization, it’s not something accomplished overnight, practice over years is needed to write well. The little guy is slowly accepting that his writing looks like a worm crawling, saying he’ll definitely surpass her when he gets older.

Jiang Mingyue unlocked the kitchen and checked the ingredients. Since Fourth Aunt’s reminder, Mrs. Jiang thought they can leave the courtyard gate unlocked, especially with Xiao Ran coming in and out, but all the doors inside the house were locked, including the kitchen door.

Everyone knew it was to guard against the Second Branch, but didn’t expect the Second Branch to get into consecutive trouble, leaving quickly. Hehua’s parents even came several times to create a scene, demanding compensation from Wu Cuilan, yet Wu Cuilan was even tougher than Li Xiaocui. Li Xiaocui’s parents didn’t get a single penny, instead were scolded from head to toe by Wu Cuilan, who cursed them for raising such rotten people, the scolding as nasty as it could be.

Li Xiaocui’s parents didn’t care about their daughter being cursed, but couldn’t stand Wu Cuilan pointing at their noses cursing them. The result was a physical struggle, the scene got out of control, both sides suffering. Shu Wenquan eventually intervened and separated them, both sides left bruised and beaten.

After that, Li Xiaocui’s husband and wife no longer appeared in Qingshan Village.

Every time, the water tank was full, Jiang Mingyue never even had the chance to experience using the pump.

The kitchen ingredients of the Third Branch of the Jiang Family were still abundant these days. Jiang Mingyue took a quick look, already knowing how to get by.

There were a few wild chickens in the backyard coop, she took one out and another from the space. After processing, divided the chicken breast, one part for Kung Pao chicken, the other marinated, shredded for chicken cold noodles. When it’s hot, cold dishes are the favorite.

Others included chicken thighs, all chopped into pieces, one part for chicken soup with radish, the rest for a big plate of chicken. With plenty of side dishes, and their two brothers eating like a whirlwind, even a mountain can quickly be leveled, no rush.

Last time Aunt Fu gave some beef, Jiang Mingyue took out the remainder, slicing it for pickled pepper beef slices, stir-fried, she tasted it, the flavor was fresh and delicious, luckily not overcooked. This big stove requires someone helping to tend the fire, otherwise, it’s hard to manage.

There were also lamb milk curds, Aunt Fu gave two, ate the bigger one, over four pounds, the remaining one over three pounds. Jiang Mingyue cut out half, diced into small pieces, pan-fried until both sides golden brown, sprinkled with salt, smelled enticing enough to make people drool from afar.

Jiang Zhenmei rushed towards the kitchen as soon as she entered: “Yueyue, what are you making? Smells so good, I’m even hungrier. Oh my! You have no idea, I’m so hungry now I can swallow a whole cow.”

“Whatever it is, it’s delicious. Third Sister, go wash your hands. What about big brother and them?”

“Right behind me, isn’t it our second brother’s affair, that Wang Guihua just won’t give up. We said long ago, even if brother ends up single, he won’t marry her daughter. Yet she brazenly approaches second brother, aggressively trying to gain favor. Sadly, such shameless behavior is truly annoying.”

Jiang Zhenmei mention that, Jiang Mingyue could guess what the scene was like, no surprise as it’s become a sight in Qingshan Village.

Jiang Mingyue initially wanted to go out for second brother’s drama, but the drama had already ended as the main character returned.

“Second Brother! Wow! I heard lately people are constantly sending you messages at the brick factory, my second brother has become a hot cake!”

This obvious teasing tone made Jiang Jianjun’s ears flush with heat.

“Do you even know what you’re talking about, girl?”
