Quick Transmigration: Can This Kind of Scum Become the Chosen One?

Chapter 109 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury

Jiang He was called to the field to bring back Old Man Jiang and the others.

Seeing that it was almost time, Grandma Jiang took the eggs out of the earthenware jar.

It was given to Jiang Lian.

The egg was still in its shell, and Jiang Lian accepted it.

Jiang Ertian was thinking about how to explain it.

Grandma Jiang arrived without Jiang Ertian noticing, as there were vines at the door.

How did Grandma Jiang know about this cave, which is so well hidden?

When did you find out?

When they came in and saw him eating eggs, they weren't very surprised, and they didn't even seem particularly angry.

Did they already know he was stealing eggs here?

Could it be that we've been trapped like turtles in a jar today?

Jiang Ertian looked at the egg in Jiang Lian's hand and suddenly regretted it. He should have rinsed the egg with water as well.

Then he could use the excuse that these are bird eggs.

But now there's such a brightly lit egg right there, how is he supposed to explain it?

Jiang Ertian bent down, picked up the eggshell from the ground, crushed it with his foot, and kicked it under the stone slab next to him.

"Let's go, go back."

Jiang Ertian followed behind and went down the mountain.

Should he admit to taking an egg, or should he say he found an egg on the road?

Or they could pin it on Da Hu, saying that Da Hu picked up an egg from the chicken coop.

Da Hu is still young and doesn't understand things, so Grandma won't do anything to him.

When Grandma Jiang returned home, Grandpa Jiang also came back.

"Where's Big Tree? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"Big Tree went to the mountain to look for you, and Little He went too."

"Then let's wait for Big Tree. Eldest daughter-in-law, you go and cook first."

Grandma Jiang picked up two eggs from the chicken coop and asked Zhao Jingui to make an egg drop soup with plenty of water, so that everyone could have a bowl.

Zhao Jingui didn't ask any more questions and cooked the egg drop soup as Grandma Jiang had instructed.

Jiang Dashu returned quickly, bringing back everything from the cave.

Even the broken eggshell beneath that stone slab.

Jiang Ertian had too much faith in the cave's secrecy; he had previously crushed eggshells and kicked them under the stone slab.

It was neither ground into powder nor buried underground.

Jiang Dashu brought all the broken eggshells back.

"Futata, is there anything you want to say?"

Old Man Jiang stared at Jiang Ertian and suddenly felt like he didn't recognize his son anymore.

Grandma Jiang had already picked up a broom.

She had thought Jiang Ertian would steal eggs, but she hadn't expected him to steal so many.

How many eggs must Jiang Ertian have eaten to have so many broken eggshells?

Grandma Jiang's head was buzzing, she felt a throbbing sensation in her forehead, and her head felt like it was on fire.

"Dad, it wasn't me, it wasn't me. These eggshells were there before, I didn't know."

These things belong to other people; I don't know.

I just suddenly discovered a cave, and found these things inside.

Jiang Ertian's main tactic is to deny everything.

He absolutely could not admit to having so many eggshells.

Anyway, all I saw today was a whole egg and a bowl of egg drop soup; the rest had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Jiang Ertian was so unyielding, Old Man Jiang felt annoyed.

I used to think that Ertian was clever and cunning.

Now that this little trick has backfired on him, he's extremely annoyed.

"Where did you get your eggs today?"

"Yes, Da Hu gave it to me. I didn't think much of it and assumed that Da Hu had found it outside. I just noticed that Da Hu had gotten thin from hunger recently, so I cooked him an egg."

That bowl of egg drop soup was actually meant for my parents; they've worked so hard too.

Jiang Ertian's nonsense became more and more fluent as he spoke, and even he himself began to believe it was true.

"Big Tiger, did you collect eggs?"

Da Hu saw Jiang Ertian nod and agree.

"Sir, I found it."

"Big Tiger, where did you find it?"

Da Hu glanced at Jiang Ertian, but received no response, so he simply said whatever came to mind.

Where do you collect eggs? Eggs are collected from the chicken coop, of course.

Da Hu thought this way, and he said it this way.

"Dahu, why did you go to the chicken coop to collect eggs? Didn't Grandma say that no one should go near the chicken coop?"

Grandma seems to have said something like that.

Keep away from the chicken coop at home.

"I found it in someone else's chicken coop."

If you can't get close to the ones at home, then you can get close to other people's, right?

As soon as Da Hu finished speaking, Old Lady Jiang dropped the broom and picked up a rattan cane.

"Big Tiger, how many times have you gone to other people's houses to collect eggs?"

Da Hu looked at Jiang Ertian and held up one finger.

"Sir, just once."

Then Grandma Jiang came up with a rattan cane and whipped people.

"I told you not to steal, I told you not to steal eggs, to go and steal eggs from other people's houses."

"Like father, like son! Second brother, is this how you teach Da Hu?"

Grandma Jiang was furious.

Da Hu is his only grandson, and he has also developed a bad habit of stealing.

She knew that Lu Cuihua was a menace.

Lu Cuihua stole eggs, and now Da Hu has been corrupted by her.

They even went to steal from other people's houses; they've completely disgraced the Jiang family.

"Grandma, I didn't steal the eggs, I didn't."

I didn't collect the eggs; Dad told me to say that. I don't know anything about it.

Big Tiger howled as he was whipped, and then told the truth.

"Jiang Ertian, is this how you let Da Hu take the blame for you?"

Grandma Jiang picked up a broom and started hitting Jiang Ertian.

Jiang Ertian could only run.

Family scandals should not be aired in public, so the courtyard gate was closed early on.

At this point, Jiang Ertian could only run around the yard.

Grandma Jiang couldn't catch up, so she had Jiang Dashu catch the man and give him a good beating before she calmed down.

Jiang Dashu did indeed catch Jiang Ertian, and Old Lady Jiang gave him a good beating to vent her anger.

"Jiang Ertian, you must divorce Lu Cuihua today. With her around, there's never a moment of peace in this house."

Now you're even encouraging me to steal eggs; next time I'll teach Da Hu to steal things.

"Mother, I'm innocent! I didn't, I didn't do anything! I never taught Da Hu to do such a thing!"

Two years later, Lu Cuihua heard again that she was going to be divorced.

She has been well-behaved and hasn't done anything wrong these past two years.

Jiang Ertian was the one who stole the eggs, so why blame her?

She never tasted the eggs that Jiang Ertian stole, yet she had to take the blame for him.

No, absolutely not.

"Mother, I know I was wrong. I did take the eggs today. I will never do it again. Lu Cuihua really didn't teach Dahu these things."

Big Tiger was a little scared just now, that's why he said that.

"Second brother, I'm just asking you, are you going to break up or not?"

Even if Lu Cuihua doesn't teach the child this time, what about in the future?

Grandma Jiang was determined to drive Lu Cuihua out.

"Mother, I've already explained it, why are you still fixated on this?"

Lu Cuihua is usually very filial to you, why can't you tolerate her?

Jiang Ertian was getting a little anxious.

Why did Grandma Jiang insist on driving Lu Cuihua away?

He believed that Lu Cuihua had not done anything wrong.

Moreover, Lu Cuihua was also his shield. With Lu Cuihua around, her parents would think of her first when they thought of stealing eggs, not him.

"Second brother, you absolutely refuse to divorce, right?"

Then you can go live your own lives. You've grown up and I can't control you anymore.

Let's split up.
