Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Of Course These Belong to Our Family

But now, Jiang Ran spent so much money in just one afternoon!

Does Jiang Ran still have money?

How much is left?

She bought so many things this time; when all of these are eaten up, will she keep buying more?

Pei Shanshan kept letting her thoughts run wild along the way, and before even reaching home, she felt her head buzzing.

Pei Jing was also staring at Jiang Ran the whole time, but his big eyes were filled with curiosity.

Children are the most sensitive; he can detect subtle changes in the attitudes of those around him.

Not to mention, Pei Jing is a smart kid.

Today, Jiang Ran seemed different from before, making Pei Jing very curious.

The ox cart wasn't particularly fast, but it was much faster than walking.

Just as Jiang Ran felt herself being swayed to sleep, voices began to rise around her.

"Isn't this Jiang Ran? And there's Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing; what did they go to do?"

"Yeah, why are there so many things on the ox cart?"

"Did they go shopping? Why buy so much stuff!"

"Never noticed before, but it turns out the Pei Family is quite wealthy!"

"I even saw some meat. That's such a big piece; when will they finish eating it?"

Hearing the mixed chatter by her ear, Jiang Ran frowned and opened her eyes, looking around.

It turned out they had entered the village, and quite a few people at the village entrance were heading home, just bumping into them.

The village wasn't just the Pei Family's, so running into villagers was inevitable.

As for what these people were saying, Jiang Ran just treated it as noise beside her ear.

People can say what they want; as long as it's not excessive, she couldn't care less.

All from the same village, everyone knows what Jiang Ran's temper is like.

So curious as they were, they only dared to say a few harmless words and didn't dare say more.

With Pei Shanshan directing the driver, the ox cart soon stopped at the Pei family's door.

At the Pei family's doorway, there were three people sitting, none other than Pei Baoshan, Wang Cuilan, and Pei Yang.

The three had come back from work only to find the door locked.

They hadn't brought the key while working in the fields, so they could only sit outside and wait.

Now that they finally waited everyone back, they found them returning on an ox cart.

Seeing the three sitting on the ox cart, along with the pile of stuff taking up most of the ox cart, Pei Yang immediately jumped up.

"Shanshan! Where did you go? These things aren't ours, are they?"

Pei Yang asked Pei Shanshan first for a reason.

Pei Jing was too young to explain things clearly.

With Jiang Ran's temper, she probably wouldn't say anything even if asked.

So if they wanted to find out what was going on, they could only ask Pei Shanshan.

However, before Pei Shanshan could respond, Jiang Ran answered first.

"What are you talking about? I spent money on these, so of course they're our stuff."

Pei Yang was just afraid these things were bought by Jiang Ran; unexpectedly, Jiang Ran dashed his hopes as soon as she spoke.

Seeing Jiang Ran's natural face, Pei Yang opened his mouth but ultimately couldn't utter a word.

Jiang Ran didn't care about Pei Yang's reaction; she turned and said to Pei Shanshan, "Hurry up and open the door."

Then she said to Pei Yang, "Hurry, move the stuff inside."

Pei Yang instinctively agreed, took a few steps to the ox cart, and hoisted up a bag of rice.

It wasn't until the rice was on his shoulder that Pei Yang realized something was off.
