Chapter 1528: I Have to Live It

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

This was the first time she had seen such a good-looking couple.

They looked like nice people and they gave her two oranges!

The orange looked so sweet.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan just smiled at each other.

Grandma Zhu and Aunt Tian were even more flustered.

“It’s not anything expensive.” Xue Yan smiled.

Grandma Zhu and Aunt Tian heard this and couldn’t refuse. They quickly thanked them for their kindness.

Grandma Zhu even said, “I’ve heard before that rich people can save things like oranges for a full year. So it’s true.”

Jiang Yue gave Xiao Hua two oranges. Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou thought that Jiang Yue took them out of her sleeve, so they didn’t think she took them out of thin air. Therefore, they were not shocked.

Although oranges were very rare in this month and they also knew that they were delicious, they still wanted to eat big white buns and big meat buns more.

No matter what, they were very happy to see the children in the village happy because of the two oranges.

“Uncle Zhang, Brother Zhang, look, the oranges that they gave me.” Xiao Hua even raised the oranges in her hands and happily showed them to Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou.

Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou also patted her head. It was the first time they had seen such a bright smile on this child’s face.

Children of this age should be smiling brightly every day and be carefree.

However, the children in the village did not have enough to eat. They did not have the strength to play, so they rarely smiled like this.

It was also at this moment that Zhang Dazhu answered Grandma Zhu’s question. “This is Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.”

It wasn’t appropriate to say that he and his son met them because they planned to rob the couple. Zhang Dazhu said, “Shoushou and I were strolling around the village entrance just now. We met each other. I told them some things, but they didn’t believe me. So, I brought them back to our village. Tell them that our village is in Da Chen and is called Stone Village. We also have a tyrant emperor called Shi Yuan. He collects heavy taxes and kills people in the palace every day, causing the people to live in poverty. Tell them I’m not lying!”

Grandma Zhu was not in a hurry to prove his innocence. She turned to the two and bowed. Addressing them as Sir and Madam.

“You can call us Xue Yan and Jiang Yue.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both said.

Grandma Zhu smiled kindly. “Although I don’t understand why you don’t believe me, aren’t you also people of great faith? Otherwise, why would you be here? Da Chen had long been unified. Even if they were people from other countries in the past, they are all Da Chen people now. However, Dazhu is right. Our Emperor is called Shi Yuan. I heard that he is very cruel. He kills hundreds of officials every day who dares to question his motives. I heard it from my son. My son heard it from the people in the town. They also collect heavy taxes, making our lives more and more difficult. In the past, he could still survive on what he earned, but now, he can’t.”

As she spoke, the old lady’s eyes turned red.

“Mother…” Aunt Tian quickly wrapped her arms around her mother-in-law’s shoulders, her eyes also red. It was really hard to live by these days.

“It’ll get better.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both said.

It would have been fine if they hadn’t encountered them, but now that they did, they felt like they needed to help. After understanding this world better, they would be able to help better.
