Chapter 43: Blessed land from the heavens

The journey was boring Jiang Xia and her mother listened to the wives talk about their family affairs. One of them even pulled Zhou Lan to her side and started talking about what happened to the Jiang family.
“Zhou Lan, 1 heard that your in-laws…” The woman talking stopped and tried to phrase her sentence differently, “The Jiang family left all their work to their second son after your family left. However, Jiang Hua isn’t the type to suffer losses. He said that if there is any work, they would have to split it evenly between the two brothers otherwise he won’t do it. He almost got beaten up by old Jiang!”
Hearing the woman’s words, Jiang Xia sneered in her heart. It would be a surprise if they didn’t cause a ruckus since they were all selfish people.
Other than the rotten things in the Jiang family, there were also other conversations, such as gossip about her father.
There were rumors from the older generations that Jiang Xia’s father had been adopted. Of course, it was never confirmed.
This made Jiang Xia even more curious about what the previous Jiang Chuan was like. Jiang Chuan looked nothing like his father or mother. No matter how hard Jiang Xia tried to imagine, Jiang Chuan’s good looks did not come from his parents. However, they were no longer a part of the family and she had no way to confirm her theory.
The women’s pace was similar to Zhou Lan and Jiang Xia despite not drinking water from the interspace.
…..
After walking for about two hours, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As Jiang Xia and her mother did not travel in too deep into the mountain the last time, the crops mostly grew outside. Walking based on their memories, they manage to find a large pit with wild vegetables and this surprised Jiang Xia.
The power of the space water was too powerful!
When the women saw that there were really wild vegetables, they scrambled to dig them up. Jiang Xia followed suit and dug one up. She wiped off the soil on it and took a small bite. As she had expected, the wild vegetables did not taste as fresh and tender as before. No wonder no animals came to eat them.
Seeing that everyone’s attention was on the wild vegetables, Jiang Xia gestured to her mother to let her know she will be traveling deeper into the mountain.
Zhou Lan nodded in acknowledgment.
Jiang Xia started sprinkling water once she manage to find a secluded area. She did not dare to sprinkle too much and sprinkle a few drops along the way as if she was giving directions. She would sprinkle more when she found a good place.
Alone, Jiang Xia proceeded forward, leaving Zhou Lan a few markers along the way. Finally, after walking for some distance, she found an extremely well-hidden location.
The surrounding trees were very lush. When she arrived, she realized that the distance between the trees was only enough for one person to pass through. After passing through the forest, there was a patch of grass in the middle. The trees circled the area as if it was a location specially designed for Jiang Xia.
After confirming the location, Jiang Xia quickly took out her interspace water and carefully sprinkled it on the ground. She did not sprinkle too much for fear of attracting a herd of beasts like last time.
A moment later, the space water that was sprinkled on the ground began to take effect. The originally yellow ground now had a green color.
The seeds grew rapidly and turned into wild vegetables. Then a few rabbits came out of the grass and began to eat the rare delicious food.
Seeing that everything was in place, Jiang Xia headed back. Along the way, she met her mother and the others. They all had some wild vegetables in their baskets on their backs.
As soon as Jiang Xia saw Zhou Lan, she waved at her and said happily, “Mother, I’ve found a place to dig up wild vegetables,”
“Then hurry up and bring us there,” Zhou Lan said, playing along.
Jiang Xia nodded and led them to the place she had set up.
The group of people, including Zhou Lan, was stunned when they saw the green field. Zhou Lan had not expected that Jiang Xia would be able to build such a large field. It was enough for all of them.
Jiang Xia didn’t see the rabbits. They must have fled after hearing the human voices.
“What are you waiting for!” Someone said and snap everyone back to their senses. They quickly took out tools from their baskets and started digging.
Digging up wild vegetables was not an easy task, but smiles could be seen on everyone’s faces.
In this day and age, one was not afraid of being tired, but afraid of not getting the chance to be tired. Being tired meant that they had work which meant they had food.
Seeing the relaxed and excited expressions on everyone’s faces, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that it was a good choice to do something for the villagers.
After digging up a decent amount of wild vegetables, some of the villagers remembered that they had not thanked their benefactor..
