Chapter 124 Raising a Cat to Become a Husband 2
Jiang Wan quickly went to the kitchen to cook. After eating with his father and the black cat, he put the black cat in the medicine basket and went up the mountain.
In the past, Jiang Wan only wandered around the outskirts of the mountain, but if he wanted to find the herbs to save his father and the black cat, he could only try his luck in the deep mountains.
The black cat also noticed that something was wrong around it and kept meowing in worry.
Jiang Wan tilted his head and blinked his clear and bright eyes. His voice was firm and soothing, "Xiao Hei, don't be afraid. I will protect you."
Relying on her previous experience as a hunter, Jiang Wan avoided the traces of various large animals. Unfortunately, she still overestimated her luck. Those rare herbs were not easy to find.
As a last resort, Jiang Wan could only change his route and pick some precious herbs and dig them up with their roots. Given their family's current situation, earning more money would improve things a lot.
Jiang's father was a good man. He was always reluctant to charge the poor people who came to see him for treatment. So even though he had a skill in treating illnesses, his family didn't seem very wealthy.
Most of his illnesses were caused by overwork, and improving the family's conditions would also help prolong his life, giving her more time to collect prescriptions.
It was not until the evening that Jiang Wan returned home. Along the way, he greeted the villagers who were returning home one after another. When he arrived at the door of his house, Jiang's father was already looking out anxiously at him.
After carefully looking at Jiang Wan and making sure she had no external injuries, Jiang's father breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but mutter, "You're just a little girl, and you stay out so late before coming back. Don't do that again next time!"
Jiang Wan ignored him and walked into the inner room before taking off the backpack.
When he saw clearly what was in the medicine basket, Father Jiang could hardly take his eyes off it. He stared at it carefully without blinking, fearing that everything in front of him was an illusion.
"These... these are all aged herbs. I have been collecting herbs in the mountains for so long and have never encountered such herbs. Where did you collect them from?" After saying this, Father Jiang seemed to remember something and his expression suddenly changed. "No, you went deep into the mountains!"
Knowing that his daughter had done such a dangerous thing, Jiang's father was furious. "You are so brave. The mountain is so dangerous, and I don't even dare to go in. Do you want to die?"
Father Jiang has always had a gentle personality and rarely gets so angry. Listening to his scolding, Jiang Wan did not refute. Drops of tears rolled out of her eyes, but she did not move, and kept her eyes wide open stubbornly.
"Why are you crying?" Seeing that his daughter was not in good condition, Jiang's father couldn't help but slow down his voice. He and his late wife who passed away long ago only had this one daughter, so he naturally held Jiang Wan at the top of his heart.
Based on his understanding of his daughter, he knew that Jiang Wan would not do these things suddenly. She must have encountered difficulties.
Thinking of this, Father Jiang's eyes were full of worry, "Wanwan, if you encounter any difficulties, don't keep it in your heart, tell Dad, Dad will definitely help you!"
But who would have thought that this sentence seemed to hit the nail on the head of Jiang Wan's heart. She could no longer hold back her tears. They burst out like long-buried water, and she cried out in a tearful voice, "Dad wants to help me? How can Dad help me? Do you think you have kept it a secret? Do you think I am still a child? I only have you in this world, but what about you? Have you ever taken care of your body? Have you ever thought about me?"
The secrets of the past few days were completely revealed at this moment. Father Jiang was in a panic. He stammered for a long time before he found his voice again, "Wanwan, I... Dad doesn't want to make you worry. Life and death are determined by heaven and cannot be forced..."
"Can't force it? Don't let me worry? Haha——" Jiang Wan sneered, "So Dad plans to suddenly pass away when the secret can no longer be concealed, and then randomly assign a husband's family for me and hastily arrange the rest of my life?"
Hearing that his daughter misunderstood what he meant, Jiang's father quickly explained: "I'm not referring to a random husband's family. Dad will definitely arrange a good marriage for you. Doesn't Wanwan often play with Tiantian? The He family's parents are also kind people. He Cisheng is also a scholar. He has a bright future in the future..."
Father Jiang explained earnestly, but unexpectedly, the mockery on Jiang Wan's face became more and more intense. "You didn't tell me that you were sick and arranged a good marriage for me. Haha, Daddy is so good to me. He helped me arrange everything, but did you ask for my opinion? You don't even know if I am willing to marry He Cisheng. Everything is what you want. Have you ever asked me what I want?"
Father Jiang was stunned and wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by Jiang Wan, "Dad has always regarded me as a burden and wanted to get rid of me a long time ago! I am a person, not an object. What you did only makes me feel disappointed. I hate Dad to death!"
After saying that, Jiang Wan ran out crying.
Father Jiang wanted to chase after him, but after taking two steps, he began coughing violently.
Jiang Wan steeled her heart and ran away quickly. If she didn't resist fiercely, how could she dissuade Jiang's father from wanting her to marry into the He family?
What's more, she ran away this time for something more important.
Worried about the danger as it was getting dark and her body was not strong, Jiang Wan did not run far. She sat under a big tree and sobbed.
Sure enough, not long after, intermittent cat calls gradually sounded.
Jiang Wan looked up and saw the little black cat standing in front of her, looking at her worriedly. That wet look immediately captured Jiang Wan's heart. She hugged the black cat in her arms and shed all her tears of grievance on it.
"Xiao Hei, why do I have to go through all this? I don't want to get married at all. I just want to be with Daddy. It would be so nice to live a carefree life like this! But Daddy is sick now, and he is leaving me too. If I lose Daddy, I will have no relatives anymore... wuwuwu..."
Jiang Wan cried miserably, it was just acting, but it also contained some of her original emotions. The little black cat was very worried and licked the tears on Jiang Wan's face, as if to comfort her not to cry.
After complaining, Jiang Wan wiped away her tears and began to talk about her true intentions while sobbing.
"Xiao Hei, you are such a good cat. Don't worry, I am very strong and I will not be easily defeated! I have figured it out. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the mountains to collect herbs and sell them for money whenever I am free. Daddy's illness is mostly caused by overwork. If I have money, I can let him take good care of his body. And you, I can actually cure your illness, but because I have no money, I can't even buy the right herbs..."
After talking about his plans, Jiang Wan suddenly changed his tone and said worriedly, "But Xiao Hei, I grew up in the village and never went out to sell medicinal herbs. I won't be cheated by others, right?"
Finally, fearing that he would not take the bait, Jiang Wan added, "I really hope to meet a good drug dealer tomorrow..."
