Jiang Xia was embarrassed when she saw her family’s concerned eyes and quickly tried to change the topic.

“I’m okay. I just thought of us going up the mountain and felt a little nervous.” Jiang Xia tried to find a random excuse.

“We will still have to plan more about going up the mountain.” Zhou Lan replied after hearing what Jiang Xia had to say.

Although they had not encountered any wild beasts previously, it was true that there are wild beasts. Zhou Lan was also worried if she could protect her family well.

With a new topic to talk about, Jiang Xia’s family was no longer concerned about how she was acting previously. She could not help but feel relief.

Jiang Xia wanted to cover up the matter but some people did not agree with it.

When the middle-aged man saw that Jiang Xia was no longer looking at him, he gave Shen Mo a look and stood up to walk toward Jiang Xia’s table.

It was only when the man stopped at Jiang Xia’s table that they noticed him. “Sorry… You are?” Jiang Chuan asked in confusion.

The man gave Jiang Chuan a friendly smile and replied, “My name is Wang Wen. Two days ago I heard this lady outside the Shen residence talking about the drought this year. I was looking for her but I did not expect to meet her here.”

Everyone turned their gazes to Jiang Xia upon hearing Wang Wen’s words.

Jiang Chuan looked at Wang Wen and then at Jiang Xia, who looked like was desperately trying to escape. He had a rough idea of what was this about so he tried to help Jiang Xia out. “Brother, my child is still young. She probably said some things she did not mean. I hope you don’t mind.”

Even though Jiang Chuan had expressed his intention to refuse, Wang Wen continued as if he did not understand. “Actually, I think what your daughter said made a lot of sense, so I came here to today to ask you something.”

As Wang Wen spoke, he also told them about Jiang Xia’s previous actions. Wang Wen knew his limits and did not mention anything about the political issues that Jiang Xia had mentioned. That kind of thing would easily be caught by others. Wang Wen knew this very well.

At this point, Jiang Xia could no longer pretend to be confused. Jiang Chuan had no choice but to get someone to add a stool. Wang Wen sat beside Jiang Xia and started talking about what happened that day.

“Young lady, my name is Wang Wen. I’m working in the army now. I want to ask which village you are from and if what you said previously is true.”

Wang Wen’s smile was kind, but it gave Jiang Xia a chill.

Jiang Xia thought momentarily and answered truthfully, “Yes, I live in Tong Shan Village. Our village chief is a good person, but if you want to know more about the situation I mentioned before, you can visit a few more villages. There’s still a month before the grain collection. Uncle, you can make an unannounced visit first. When the grain is collected, you can compare the actual amount with the amount submitted by some village officials to know if what I said is true.”

Jiang Xia’s heart was finally relieved after she finished speaking in one breath. She didn’t know if what she did was right or wrong, but she had to fight for it if she could.

Wang Wen pondered Jiang Xia’s words and nodded. Then, Wang Wen looked at Jiang Xia again and asked curiously, “Young lady, are you in school? Where did you study?”

“I studied in town two years ago. After the drought, my family ran out of food, so I stopped studying.”

Jiang Xia answered Wang Wen’s questions. Regardless of whether it was Wang Wen’s clothes, speech, or the fact that he was walking with the Shen family’s Young Master, Jiang Xia felt that Wang Wen might be a turning point that could help them get through the drought.

Wang Wen estimated Jiang Xia’s age and calculated the amount of time Jiang Xia had spent studying. He couldn’t help but be amazed.

She had not been educated for a long time, but she could say so many things about people’s livelihoods and current affairs. This little girl was not simple! It was probably because her family had taught him well. Thinking of this, Wang Wen inevitably paid more attention to Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan.

When they were almost done chatting, the dishes Jiang Xia’s family ordered were served. The tradition of sharing tables was not popular. Wang Wen also tactfully expressed that they could chat after their meal. Jiang Xia nodded in agreement.

As soon as Wang Wen left, Zhou Lan nudged Jiang Xia with her elbow and asked, “Xiao Xia, did you really go to the Shen family’s house and say those things? You’re really bold!”

Without waiting for Jiang Xia to speak, Jiang Gu answered on her behalf, “Jiang Xia said a lot that day..”
