She believed that this thing could kill people, but how could she eat it if it was so hard?
Seeing her disgust, Jiang Mingxuan thought that she had just recovered from illness and had no appetite.
"I'll ask Taohong to buy you some rice cakes later, just make do with these for now!"
Having said that, what else can she do? It is really urgent to improve her life.
After all, they are just "poor relatives" in the Jiang family, so they are not qualified to be picky.
??Looked at this cheap brother, "You didn't eat either, right?"
Just as Jiang Mingxuan was about to speak, he heard his stomach rumble and he started thinking.
There was slight embarrassment on his face.
"I……"
"Let's eat together!"
As he said that, Jiang Shanshan took one and put it into his hand, while he bitterly took a bite of the crumbs of the steamed bun.
One day, she will have enough to eat, and she will never have to worry again in her life.
After having something in his belly, his energy improved a lot. Jiang Shanshan sent his cheap brother back to rest.
After all, he is still a child, no matter how bad she is, he will not continue to exploit her, and besides, he is still a brother who treats her wholeheartedly.
While she was in good spirits and the rain gradually stopped, she put on her clothes and took a casual look around the yard. Although it was a bit shabby, it had everything it should have.
The yard is divided into east and west ends. She and Taohong live in the west end, while her brother lives in the east end.
There is a flowerbed in the corner, a large vat with water lilies, and even a small kitchen. However, it is already covered with dust, and only one medicine jar in use is still clean.
She shook her head, remembering that this courtyard in her memory was the place where the original owner's mother had been imprisoned for more than ten years, and her eyes felt a little cold.
This man!
If you can meet with good things in your life, it will be fine. If you meet with bad things, no, even your life will be involved.
It was getting brighter and it started to rain again around noon.
Jiang Shanshan leaned in front of the window in the room, looking at the mist not far away.
It is said that every autumn rain comes and every cold comes, and they don't even have two cotton-padded clothes for winter, so how can they withstand such cold weather.
"Hey, you can get up now. Are you feeling better?" Taohong, who was carrying a food box, closed her umbrella and leaned against the pillar casually.
Jiang Shanshan heard the sound and turned his head, "No matter how bad it is, I'm afraid I will have to lie on the coffin board next time."
When Taohong heard this, she looked surprised, "So you still know?"
Jiang Shanshan choked and spontaneously closed his mouth.
This girl is pretty good, but she just has a long mouth.
"Why don't you say anything? I thought you wanted to open the door to hell and poison them tomorrow." Taohong joked.
"Can you please stop tempting me to poison me?" Jiang Shanshan was speechless for a while.
She is not a good person, what if she does it!
"Hmph! I'm just reminding you that if you don't stand up, you two siblings will really die in the Jiang family."
Taohong rolled her eyes, really worried about the two siblings.
Jiang Shanshan didn't respond, only raised his chin, "What do you have to eat today?"
"Steamed buns and pickles." Taohong opened the food box and said.
When Jiang Shanshan heard this, she was slightly surprised when she saw the warm white flour buns and a small plate of pickles.
This kind of thing is already fine for them.
All they eat these days are leftovers, nothing hot to eat.
Looking at Taohong, he noticed that the hairpin she was wearing yesterday was now gone.
Is there anything else I don’t understand?
Taohong said with a tigerish face, "What are you looking at? If you don't eat quickly, it's a shame that you are cured. We won't survive if you get sick again."
After saying that, she dropped her words and called Jiang Mingxuan.
Jiang Shanshan is a girl with curled lips and a cold face but a warm heart.
After all, I have been with the original owner and brother for several years, so I still have some feelings for them.
It's a pity that he died early.
After a while, the two of them came over one after another. Jiang Mingxuan, who had rested well, looked much better than before.
Jiang Shanshan took a few more glances. She had not looked in the mirror carefully these days since she was ill, but looking at her brother's appearance, her sister was certainly not bad either.
After the three of them finished eating, Taohong packed up her food box and went out, while Jiang Mingxuan followed with the copied books.
"You can exchange these for some money, and then bring a rice cake to my sister."
Jiang Mingxuan handed the book to her.
"I'm almost out of food, and I'm still thinking about eating rice cakes." Taohong rolled her eyes, but she didn't refuse.
"Sister likes sweetness and is most afraid of bitterness. This time she almost lost weight due to illness..."
"Okay, okay, I'll go!"
Taohong was most afraid that he would act pitiful, so she took the things and turned around and left.
I really owe them a debt of gratitude to my siblings.
Everyone has left. Jiang Shanshan has nothing to do and is planning to wander around again.
In her impression, the siblings could not leave the confines of this courtyard.
In the past, my birth mother wouldn't let her go out, but then someone watched her. I don't know if she has been watched again in the past two years.
When she reached the door of the courtyard, she stretched her head and looked around, but there was no one outside.
Because the courtyard is remote, there are no maids or women passing by. However, if you leave, you have to pass through the arch in front of you no matter where you go, and you will most likely run into people.
It seems that we can only wait until the government is doing business and take advantage of the crowds of people to find an opportunity to go out and have a look.
"Sister?"
Jiang Mingxuan's voice came from behind.
Jiang Shanshan turned around and saw the cheap brother holding medicine again.
"Sister, why are you out? Your body is not fully recovered yet. Be careful of catching a cold again."
Jiang Mingxuan disagreed and handed the bowl to her.
"Aren't I feeling well? Why do I still drink this stuff?" She frowned with disgust.
"Two more pairs and they'll be gone."
"I can't even drink it."
"Taohong brought rice cakes back today. Don't you like those sweet and glutinous ones the most?"
Jiang Shanshan snorted coldly, would she like that thing?
After a moment, she handed the empty bowl to him.
A smile appeared in Jiang Mingxuan's eyes, and he knew that his sister couldn't refuse.
In fact, Jiang Shanshan's reason was not just because of the rice cakes, but because he really had nothing else to eat these days.
She suppressed retching and asked some questions to her cheap brother. Speaking of which, they had lived in this small courtyard for more than ten years. Did they really not want to go out?
Seeing her asking about this, Jiang Mingxuan looked dim, "They haven't been strict in the past two years. As long as they don't go too far, it's okay."
Hearing this, Jiang Shanshan was also relieved.
It’s not true that we can only stay in this courtyard.
After all, she is not an obedient and peaceful master, and there are still people who are eyeing them, so it is impossible to just sit back and wait for death.
Later in the evening, Taohong did come back with a package of rice cakes, and the fragrance could be smelled through the oil paper package.
Jiang Shanshan's eyes widened when she saw it. Even she could not imagine that one day she would end up in this situation.
"In addition, I also exchanged one or two taels of silver, which should be enough for us to keep our food warm these days."
It's better than before.
After hearing this, Jiang Shanshan's mouth filled with rice cakes suddenly lost its aroma.
"Isn't there a small kitchen in the courtyard? Can't you cook and eat by yourself?"
