After dawn, many people came to Jiang Pan's house to see the carriages.
Yesterday, many people had tried their luck, but naturally returned empty-handed, sighing with envy and jealousy.
Why did all the good things fall to Jiang Pan's family?
First, it was that big rabbit, and then these two fine horses. They were all fleeing famine, so why were others not only eating well and dressed warmly, but also making such a fortune? While they were all in a sorry state, with their faces covered in dust.
Jiang Pan didn't care what others thought. He couldn't give up these horses just because of what others thought! He wasn't a fool!
After repairing the carriage last night, he hadn't put the harness on. They were about to set off, so Jiang Pan directed Dalang to come and harness the horses.
Unexpectedly, the two horses were not cooperative at all, dodging left and right, refusing to let them put the harness around their necks. This made the villagers who came to watch the excitement laugh uncontrollably.
"Da Pan, your horses don't seem to know how to pull a carriage."
"If these horses don't know how to pull a carriage, what's the use of them? This carriage is wasted."
All those who couldn't eat grapes said the grapes were sour, with schadenfreude on their faces.
Jiang Wan rolled her eyes. These people were probably all reincarnated lemon spirits!
They didn't even consider that even if these two horses couldn't pull a carriage, they were still found for free. Selling them in the city for silver would still be a huge sum.
With silver, why worry about not being able to buy oxen and horses to crash into?
However, it was a shame to sell such good horses. The build and quality of these two horses were top-notch, they were fine steeds, and their original owner must have cherished them dearly.
Honestly, making them pull a carriage was indeed a bit of a compromise.
But, times were different.
She, a powerful ability user, had to pretend to be cute and adorable to survive here. Were they nobler than her?
Seeing that the two disobedient horses were still resisting and dodging, making her father and elder brother want to jump with frustration, she walked forward and said to Jiang Pan, "Dad, you and elder brother rest for a while. I'll talk to the horses."
Those who were watching the excitement asked with a smile, "Little chubby girl, you stay away from them. Be careful they don't step on you again."
"Horses don't understand human language. How can you talk to them? Do you bark like a horse?"
This remark caused the crowd to burst into laughter.
Jiang Wan disdained to pay them any attention. She walked straight up to the horses, patted them, and then said to them, "Be obedient and pull the carriage. Only then will you have grass to eat and water to drink. Otherwise, we will kill you and eat your meat! Our family doesn't keep idle horses. If you want to live, you have to work. Do you understand?"
The little girl, with her hands behind her back, stood in front of horses twice her size, puffing out her small chest and lecturing them sternly, which made everyone laugh heartily.
"Little chubby girl, they don't understand your words. Why don't you just bark like a horse?"
Jiang Wan snorted dismissively at them, "Who says they don't understand? They not only understood, but they also took it to heart. If you don't believe me, watch. Little Black, Little Red, lift your left front hoof!"
The two fine horses snorted indignantly from their nostrils, clearly displeased.
The villagers burst into laughter again.
But in the next moment, their eyes widened. They saw the two horses actually lift their left front hooves.
Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction, "Good, put it down, lift your right front hoof."
The horses again uniformly lifted their right front hooves.
"Turn around in place."
The horses obediently turned in a circle from the same direction, causing everyone except Jiang Pan and Chen Yuezhi to almost pop their eyeballs out.
Have these horses become spirits!
Jiang Pan stood up and motioned for Dalang to get the harness and try to put it on the horses again.
This time, the horses were very obedient, standing still and letting themselves be handled.
Dalang was astonished. Could these horses really understand Wan Wan's words? Otherwise, why were they so defiant just now, and so cooperative in the next moment?
Jiang Wan smiled proudly in her heart.
With her abilities, let alone two little wild horses, even a dragon could be made to coil like a worm if her abilities were strong enough!
With the carriage harnessed, Jiang Pan and Dalang each drove one, trying out a couple of laps. The horses were very obedient, going wherever they were directed. Their change in temperament was as if they had been replaced with different horses.
The villagers who had come to watch the joke had smug expressions, and when they looked back at their own carts, their faces changed colors as if they had been dyed.
While Jiang Wan's family was excitedly training the horses, Chen Yuezhi received someone who surprised her a little.
"Sister-in-law, this is the consultation fee and medicine money owed to you."
Liu Shi, holding a month-old baby in her arms and accompanied by a maid, sincerely brought the silver to Chen Yuezhi.
"The doctor in the city said that if it weren't for sister-in-law's medicine, my husband would definitely not have survived to enter the city. Sister-in-law, I offended you with my words and actions before. I hope sister-in-law will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Chen Yuezhi accepted the silver with a clear conscience, "If I can help, then I accept this money with peace of mind. As for other matters, since our family and your family have severed ties, and we will likely not have much interaction in the future, you don't need to think too much about it."
Liu Shi felt a bit awkward, knowing that Chen Yuezhi didn't want to say more to her, so she took the child and bid farewell.
Chen Yuezhi didn't see her off, and continued to pack her things.
Liu Shi glanced at the two large horses, feeling a bit emotional. After the eldest branch of the family separated, their lives had gotten better day by day. She had a premonition that the eldest branch of the family would make Old Man Jiang regret his decision in the future.
Looking down at the frail child in her arms, Liu Shi felt immense bitterness. Her child was only a month old. A few days ago, to save her husband, she had entrusted the child to her mother-in-law, Old Lady Jiang, to take care of. When she returned, she found that the child was so hungry that he was almost gasping for breath.
She went to save her son from Old Lady Jiang, but Old Lady Jiang almost caused her son to lose his life!
This Jiang family was a big pit of fire.
It was a shame that she had mocked Chen Yuezhi before, thinking she was useless. But after experiencing such a life herself, she realized how difficult it was.
After Chen Yuezhi finished packing, she glanced at Liu Shi, who was walking away, shook her head, and smiled. Then she put the matter out of her mind.
When everyone was ready, the village chief gave the order to depart.
Jiang Wan, sitting in the carriage for the first time, was as excited as a real child. She sat on the carriage shaft, touching and looking around, and even wanted to try driving.
Chen Yuezhi, afraid she would cause trouble, forcefully suppressed this idea.
With the carriages, no one in the family had to walk. Jiang Pan and Erlang drove the carriage carrying luggage, while Dalang was responsible for driving the other carriage, which carried the other four family members. It was incredibly comfortable.
The villagers looked at their family with unconcealed jealousy on their faces.
It was understandable for other families to be envious and jealous, but the family of Old Man Jiang found it somewhat unacceptable.
