Chapter 21

Going to the Temple Fair

In the past, the Jiang family was famous for doting on their daughter. However, Jiang Xi’s engagement had been annulled three times in a row, and Jiang Guoyou had become like this. The difference in treatment between the son and the daughter was obvious.

“I’ll take Jiang Xi to the temple tomorrow.” Yang Fen sighed. She did not mention that she had discussed with Matchmaker Wang that the other family would also bring their silly son along. The two families could be considered to have a blind date in disguise.

Jiang Xi, who had been through three failed marriages, had no idea that she would have to attend another blind date the next day. However, it was obvious that she was not panicking. She was not the one who should be panicking...

On the other hand, another legend was spreading in Jing City, thousands of miles away. It was said that the Zhao family’s courtyard had been destroyed by a fart! This caused Zhao Ruifeng’s bad luck to be covered with a layer of smelly fart.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the villagers of the Happy Village all got up early, planning to stock up on more food before winter came. The Jiang family’s chickens started to cry when the sun had just risen.

“Jiang Xi is up! I’ve made you some porridge. We’ll go to the temple later. Didn’t you say you wanted to go to the temple fair a long time ago? I’ll satisfy you today, are you happy?” Yang Fen was wearing an apron around her waist. She wiped her hands on the apron while carrying breakfast, and then shouted again, “By the way, the whole family will be eating vegetarian food today! It’s the 15th today, so let’s do it for good luck!” Yang Fen did not believe in these things before, but after the incident with Jiang Xi, she had no choice but to believe it.

Jiang Zhi agreed with Yang Fen’s words. Usually, she would not want to eat if there was no meat, but today she was eating very well at the dining table. Jiang Xi’s bowl was full of porridge, and on the table were the pickled vegetables that Yang Fen had pickled herself. She had also made pickled cucumbers and fried a vegetable with some rapeseed oil. The family ate it with relish. Yang Fen was still concerned that Jiang Guoyou could recover, so she specially cooked an egg for Jiang Guoyou to eat.

When she delivered the meal to Jiang Guoyou, Yang Fen had a smile on her face the entire time. Who knew what Jiang Guoyou heard, but he had been silent with a sullen face early in the morning. He watched helplessly as Yang Fen cleaned up the house and took her family to the temple. Jiang Da and Jiang Shan went to work in town as usual, but they did not know if they were still needed there. He was afraid that there was no hope. Jiang Er, on the other hand, found an excuse to go with Yang Fen and the others. Jiang Da’s wife, Zheng Rong, had been going to the temple to offer incense every 1st and 15th of the month for the past few years. She had not missed a single time, and her purpose was to pray for children.

Yang Fen met several villagers on the way. Jiang Xi was not a talkative person, and the others had their own thoughts, so they did not say much along the way. On the contrary, after leaving the village and getting on the ox cart to the town, Yang Fen pulled Jiang Xi and gave her a detailed reminder. Yang Fen looked at Jiang Xi’s beautiful face and could not help but sigh again. Her daughter was one of the most beautiful in the village, but the marriage was too unsuccessful! Three years before Jiang Xi was born, the weather was dry. On the day of Jiang Xi’s birth, there was good rain. At that time, the people in the village all said that Jiang Xi was a blessed person. Who would have thought... Yang Fen, who had not found out about Jiang Xi’s background, really thought that she had given birth to an unlucky daughter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“After you go to the temple, don’t talk so much and just follow me. You’re not allowed to talk nonsense with whoever you see. You have to know that everything I do is for your own good.” Yang Fen’s face was gloomy, but Jiang Er’s eyes had a bit of joy.

Jiang Er’s clothes were newly changed when he went out. They were probably new, and he could not bear to wear them on normal days. The corners of his mouth were full of joy. Hearing Yang Fen’s words to Jiang Xi, he suddenly said, “Mother, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Jiang Xi and make sure she doesn’t speak nonsense. Girls should behave themselves at home. At home, they should obey their father, and when they get married, they should obey their husband.”

Yang Fen did not say anything when she heard Jiang Er’s words, because she felt that what Jiang Er said made sense. On the other hand, Zheng Rong, who had kept her head down and kept silent, frowned slightly. She looked at Jiang Xi, who was clueless about everything and was a little worried.

“Eh? Look at that man, he’s still frowning, his head is covered with dark clouds, and his feet are soft and weak. It’s obvious that someone in his family has passed away from a serious illness, tsk, tsk.” Jiang Xi suddenly said to a passerby. Yang Fen’s face turned green when she heard that. She pulled Jiang Xi and whispered, “I told you not to talk nonsense, but you’re talking nonsense again. After you tried to die three times, you opened your third eye and can read people’s physiognomy, right? If you’re so capable, why don’t you check when you’ll be able to get married?”
