â 91. Chapter 91 Lantern Festival, Autumn Harvest

Chapter 91 Lantern Festival, Autumn Harvest

Since Liu Wang's family offended the landlord Jiang, their life seemed to have lost its purpose. Now Ji He gave them a job that could feed them. They were very grateful, especially since they had resented Ji He before. Now they were so ashamed that they wanted to pull their hair out and felt that they were not human. The guilt and gratitude made the family very excited. They wanted to spread the good news of Ji He to everyone. They praised Ji He for his kindness.

In a short time, almost the whole village knew that Ji He planned to open a kiln to burn things. Thinking that Ji He would take the father and son from Liu Wang's family, and maybe he could take more people, they all ran to find Ji Dafa.

Ji Dafa thought it was safe and did not plan to take too many people. He took Liu Wang's father and son, and went to Zhuangzi and Shuanzi's house to find these two strong guys. He did not even take their family members. Then he found two people in the village who got along well with him and were capable and honest. He thought that he had enough people. Unexpectedly, because of Liu Wang's family's praise of Ji He, so many people came to him.

Ji Dafa said: "I have already found almost two palms of people, which is enough. But don't worry, I will definitely call you when there is other work."

"Then brother Dafa, don't forget us next time you have such a good thing!"

"And me and my son, we are all strong and not cunning, you still don't trust us, we are fellow villagers for many years, you must remember!"

"And me..."

When everyone saw that Ji Dafa had found everyone, they were disappointed, wondering why they were late, but they didn't dare to blame Ji Dafa for not looking for them, so they could only ask Ji Dafa to remember to look for them next time, although they also felt that they didn't know when the next opportunity would come, but it was always right to say it first. Some smart people even mentioned the harvest of crops, saying that when the autumn harvest of corn comes, Ji He's family will definitely hire temporary workers again with so many fields, so they must remember to call them first.

Ji Dafa smiled and said perfunctorily, thinking that when the time comes, he will definitely look for someone who is willing to work. There are some dishonest lazy guys in this group of people, so he will not agree, lest they come to his door and say that they have agreed now. After sending these people away, Ji Dafa saw Ji Dacai and Ji Xiao coming. Ji

Xiao said: "Uncle, my father wants to talk to you, let's go into the house and talk! Don't think about chasing us away, we have something important to tell you this time, but for your own good, you have to listen to what we are saying, right?"

Ji Dacai also said: "Brother, I really have something to tell you, you can listen first if you are angry."

Ever since Ji Dafa knew that this family wanted to use him to plot against Ji He again, he didn't want to get along with them anymore. After hearing what they said, he didn't plan to let them in, and said directly: "Just talk here if you have anything to say, it doesn't matter where you are. How? If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

Ji Xiao said: "Uncle, you are too ungrateful!" Ji Dafa

frowned, looked at Ji Xiao and said: "Don't tell me about kindness. If you really have good intentions, how could you have gotten to this point? If

you have something to say, say it quickly." Ji Dacai pulled Ji Xiao and scolded: "Get out of the way. You came here even though I didn't ask you to, and you are causing trouble! Brother, don't be angry, just say it here. I heard that you are going to open a kiln to burn things? You have also hired a lot of people. Do you plan to do it regularly? If you just plan to make a batch of jars and vats in a short period of time... You can do it if you want, but you will suffer in the long run. You know we have people who specialize in this business here."

When Ji Dafa heard that they came for this matter, he knew that they didn't want him to do this business often, so he frowned and said, "If there are sellers and buyers, there will naturally be people making pottery and porcelain. How can I not know this? Why, if someone else does this business, I can't do it? What's the logic behind this?"

Ji Xiao said, "Uncle, no matter what business you do, there will always be a few competitors who will squeeze you out. You are in the kiln business, so there must be some. People are unhappy. If it were someone else who was unhappy, it would be unhappy, but there are some people you can't afford to offend! Do you know that there are only a few kilns here, and they have all been approved by Wang Zhubo's relatives, and they make the biggest share! You are just a farmer in the countryside, aren't you going against them by doing this business? Sooner or later, this trouble will come. We are only here to tell you because we are all close relatives. Uncle, you should think about it carefully. "

Ji Dafa listened to him and understood what he said. He was a little worried, but he didn't show it on the surface.

"I understand, you go!"

"Uncle, talk to Ji He, his life has just gotten better, although he has some money, but the people should not fight against the officials. He robbed Wang Zhubo's servant before, and now he wants to rob other people's money. Anyone would be unhappy, why bother to do the right thing? Let him keep the money and do something else."

Ji Xiao said, thinking that if this stopped Ji He from opening the kiln, it would not only cut off Ji He's way of making money, but also make people who had just found a job and lost it dissatisfied with Ji He, and let Ji He remember the good things about their family. Maybe the relationship can be eased, which will be convenient for him to take advantage of in the future, and it can also let Wang Zhubo know that they have done a good thing, and the relationship will become closer in the future. It really kills two birds with one stone.

Seeing that his son's words were very reliable, Ji Dacai nodded with satisfaction and said to Ji Dafa: "Brother, this is what we mean, but we have no bad intentions. You think about it carefully?"

"Dad, go home, don't listen to nonsense outside, such a good day will ruin your mood, it's unlucky!" Ji Lan's voice came from the door.

Ji Dacai was fine, but Ji Xiao was unhappy and said, "Ji Lan, we are your second uncle and your cousin, how can you talk like that? It's not easy for Shuang'er to marry off, and she is not docile and well-behaved, and should not stay at home to eat free meals in the future. Uncle, you really should take care of him."

Ji Dafa immediately said unhappily, "It's not your turn to teach my family a lesson, Dacai, you should take good care of your son, and I won't see you off!"

After that, he turned and went in, closed the door, making a loud noise, which scared Ji Dacai and Ji Xiao.

Ji Xiao said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, look, my uncle is really ungrateful. We came here with good intentions to deliver a letter, but he treated us like this. Does he really think his son can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar? Or does he think that he can live a good life just by relying on Ji He? Humph!"

Ji Dacai glared at him and said, "Who are you saying is ungrateful! That's your uncle! You even dared to say that to him, won't you scold me in the future? You have a big mouth but you can't even say nice words. Who would say that to his Shuang'er?"

Ji Xiao said unconvincedly, "I'm not wrong. Shuang'er is not easy to marry off, and his family treats her as a treasure. She will definitely die at home in the future. "It's a good thing that we don't have a Shuang'er in our family, but we do have a beautiful sister. Look at the good husband she found."

Ji Lan was so angry when she heard this in the yard that she pinched her waist and said loudly, "Which dog is barking outside? If you keep barking, I'll go out with a stick and beat you!"

Ji Dacai hurriedly pulled Ji Xiao away, which made Ji Xiao angry. He kept cursing. There were people watching along the way. Seeing that they were coming from Ji Dafa's house, they all frowned, thinking that this was too outrageous. After all these years, they went there and came back and cursed like this. No wonder Ji Dafa refused to get along with them anymore. How could such a person get along? Ji Dacai's old face turned red, and he strode home alone.

Zhang looked at Ji Lan angrily and thought that she really had to find a husband for Ji Lan as soon as possible. It was not easy for her family before, but now Ji Qing's illness has recovered, and with Ji He's help, Ji Lan should be able to find a good husband even if she is a Shuang'er. She thought whether she should try to bring this up with the Tian family. She thought Jinduo

was a good kid. Ji He listened to what Ji Dafa told him and said to him, "Don't worry, uncle. We will use this kiln for our own use and not sell it to others. They can't control it. I've never heard of a family making things for their own family. If that's the case, it's too overbearing. I'll naturally go to the local government to make sense."

Ji Dafa smiled and said, "That's right. It's OK as long as you have a good idea in your mind."

"Let's not talk about these things during this big festival. Let's celebrate it well. Let's go eat. I can smell the delicious food."

"Okay, let's not talk about them. Let's go eat!"

Today's meal was very rich. Pork, chicken, fish, rabbit meat accounted for more than half. The remaining vegetarian dishes also looked very delicious. There were cold dishes, hot dishes and soups, and a large table was set.

Zhang said, "Why did you cook so much? There are only

a few of us. How can we finish it?" Aunt Tian said with a smile, "I said so too, but the two children said that we must eat well during the Mid-Autumn Festival. We are not afraid of too much, but only afraid of too little. Look, they made so much. This and this are all made by Xiaoyu. This child's cooking skills are really good. The food he made is beautiful and fragrant. I can't bear to eat it."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Godmother, don't praise me."

Ji He looked at him and said, "You are good at cooking."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed. Zhang Xiaoyu's fair face flushed. Looking at Ji He, although he was embarrassed, his smile became even brighter. Everyone couldn't help but think that the couple's relationship was really good, they were just a perfect match. Zhang looked at them with a smile on her face, thinking that it would be great if her own Shuang'er could find such a good husband in the future. She looked at Tian Jinduo, and the more she looked at him, the more satisfied she felt.

In the evening, they went to the town to watch the lanterns. No one walked together. Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu went to watch the lanterns hand in hand.

Ji He had also been to the lantern festival in his previous life. It was more lively than the one in this town, and there were more styles of lanterns, but Zhang Xiaoyu was not by his side at that time. Now he held Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, listening to him asking him to look here, and then to look there, and then sighing a few words about how beautiful the lanterns were. Just like this, he felt very happy and very happy.

Ji He bought a pair of goldfish lanterns, handed one to Zhang Xiaoyu, and took one for himself. They were a pair at first glance.

The two were very young. After these days of nourishment, they were very different from the past. They were taller and had more flesh than before. Although they were still thin, they looked very upright. Wearing the same blue robe, the same silver hairpin on their heads, one handsome and the other delicate, holding the same lantern, holding hands, with a warm and bright smile on their faces, walking in the shadows of the lights, they are a very attractive couple.

Many people looked at Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu, thinking that it was rare to see such a good-looking and loving couple. Almost everyone envied Zhang Xiaoyu, thinking that it was rare for a Shuang'er to be so happy. After all, in this era, it is not impossible for Shuang'er to marry well, but it is rare.

Ji Lan listened to someone next to him praising how loving and well-matched a couple not far in front was. He looked over involuntarily and found that it was really Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he guessed that it might be them. While smiling, he was also envious in his heart, thinking that Xiaoyu was really lucky to meet his cousin Ji He at the most critical moment. Now he has fallen into a honey pot and can be happy like this for the rest of his life. What about himself? The best result is to find a reliable man to get married and have children.

"Alan, this lamp is for you!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, startling Ji Lan, and then a tiger lamp appeared in front of him. This tiger lamp was golden and brilliant, and the tiger was not scary, but looked very cute, but Ji Lan still puffed up his cheeks and glared at it fiercely.

"Do I look like a tiger?"

"Yes, so cute, take it quickly."

Jiang Ping stuffed the tiger lamp into Ji Lan's hand, thinking that it was really suitable for Ji Lan to hold the tiger lamp. Even the way he glared at him looked like a little tiger, not scary, but very attractive, so vivid, so lively, making him unable to help but raise the corners of his mouth higher and higher.

Ji Lan was a little angry at first, but when he heard Jiang Ping say it was cute, he was not so angry anymore. Looking at the tiger lamp in his hand, he thought it was quite cute, but was Jiang Ping talking about himself or the tiger? Don't think about it, just continue shopping. After a while, he was attracted by the snacks on the side.

Jiang Ping greeted Ji Qing and Tian Jinduo on the side. It turned out that he came out with Jiang Wanguan. When Jiang Wanguan met an acquaintance, he turned around by himself and met them. Tian Jinduo and Jiang Ping also got along well, the two talked and laughed. Ji Qing said little, he looked at his brother Ji Lan's brilliant smile, looked at Jiang Ping's bright eyes looking at Ji Lan from time to time, and looked at Tian Jinduo looking around like nothing happened, smiled and shook his head, thinking that his mother had asked him to find a time to leave Ji Lan and Jinduo alone to let them be alone to cultivate their relationship, it seems that it is not going to work.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the busy autumn harvest began. Today the rice is ripe late, but it can be harvested after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Every household is filled with the joy of the harvest, but this joy is weakened when they see the rice of Ji He's family, because Ji He's rice grows really well, the rice ears are big and full, one can be equivalent to one and a half of other people's rice! How much more rice do they have to harvest! But they don't ask how Ji He grows so well. In their opinion, Ji He is blessed by the separation of the family. Whatever he grows grows well, it is enviable.

Ji He was rich now, so he hired temporary workers to harvest rice. He didn't mind working in the fields, but he wanted Zhang Xiaoyu to accompany him. He hired Liu Wang's family because other families were also harvesting rice at this time, that is, Liu Wang's family and Zhang Daniu's family had no work in the fields. He would not hire Zhang's family, so he could only hire Liu's family. Thirty cents a day, no food, the Liu family was very happy, and they went to the fields to harvest rice very quickly, helped transport it back to Deshui Village, and also provided one-stop service to do all the subsequent work.

Ji He was very satisfied and hired them to continue to help harvest the large area of ââcorn, still with the same wages.

When the Liu family was working, they happened to meet Jiang Wanguan going to Deshui Village. Seeing Jiang Landlord, the family was scared, worried that Jiang Landlord would think of their mistakes again, and worried that it would cause trouble for Ji He. But their worries were in vain, Jiang Landlord just snorted when he saw them. Ji He told them that he had also told Jiang Landlord about hiring them to help, so they didn't have to worry.

"Help Ji He with his work. If you do a good job, I will give you the land to plant again."

Now that Jiang's son has recovered from his injury, he is not a cruel person. For Ji He's sake, he does not want to bother with this poor family of farmers.

"Thank you, Master Jiang!"

The Liu family was very excited and thanked Jiang. It was a great thing to have the land back. Farmers would not feel at ease without land to plant. Moreover, even if they did not have land to plant now, they were happy to hear Jiang's words, which meant that Jiang no longer hated them.

Jiang Wanguan waved his hand and said, "Thank Ji He. If it were not for him, I would never give you the land to plant again in my life."

The Liu family was even more grateful to Ji He, and praised Ji He in the village. Everyone said that Ji He was kind, and felt that Ji He had face in front of Jiang, so they looked up to him even more. Zhang Daniu's family was furious, thinking that Ji He was a piece of shit. After all, their family raised Zhang Xiaoyu, but now they could lend a hand to the Liu family but they just watched them die. How shameless. Everyone in Ji Dacai's family had their own ideas. Ji Xiu'er thought that she should let Ji He be proud for a few more days, and wait until she married into the Jiang family, and see how she made the Jiang family hate Ji He!

â 92. Chapter 92 Troubled Times

Chapter 92 Troubled Autumn

In the autumn of this year, many things happened in Qingshan Village. Some were just trivial matters, some could make people talk about them for days, and some could make people talk about them endlessly and remember them forever.

First, Ji He planned to open a kiln and gave it to Ji Dafa to do it. He recruited many men in the village to help. Many people in the village were envious, but later it was said that even if they made things, they couldn't sell them because this industry has its own rules. It is said that Ji Dacai persuaded them out of brotherhood, but Ji Dafa didn't listen. Many people think that Ji Dafa should listen to Ji Dacai and not waste the money because of some previous conflicts. Although the money belongs to Ji He, Ji Dafa should persuade Ji He. Some people also persuaded Ji He to listen to

Ji Dacai and not to be angry with the money. Among them were Ji Erye and Tian Laoye. They were also for Ji He's good, but they didn't want this kid to fall again after just getting better.

Ji He smiled and thanked him, saying that the money could not be compensated.

Lin Yongxin didn't try to persuade him, because he felt that Ji He was not the kind of person who would hold back his anger. But he also asked Ji He what his plan was.

Ji He said that the kiln was mainly for his own use, and everything he burned was useful, so he was not afraid of losing money. Without waiting for the village chief to ask anything else, he changed the subject. When

Ji He invited people from the village to help across the river, Lin Yongxin knew what the things burned in the kiln were used for. Just like Ji He said, those things were really for his own use! And the amount used was quite a lot!

Ji He's grapes had a bumper harvest this year. Most of the people who helped transplant the grapes died for these grapes, and even if they survived, the results would not be very good this year. As a result, the facts were completely beyond their expectations. Not only did these grapes survive, but they also grew very well. The leaves were so green that they seemed to be dripping with water, and the bunches of fruits seemed to be able to break the grapevines. The juicy and large grapes were sweet enough to touch people's hearts.

Ji He asked Tian Daqiang to invite some honest and capable people to come here to help pick grapes and help with some preliminary steps of making wine, such as crushing grapes and moving jars, both men and women are needed.

Working for Ji He's family has now become the most popular among the villagers. It is close to home, the wages are reasonable, and you may even be able to eat a delicious meal with meat, and there are enough steamed buns and rice. Unfortunately, Ji He's family always finds the same people to help, and many people who want to go cannot get their wish.

The news that Ji He used grapes to make drinks spread, and Ji He did not stop those workers from talking about this. He only said that he wanted to make some drinks, and did not say that he wanted to make wine. Everyone did not expect Ji He to make wine with grapes, they just thought he was making some drinks, but even so, everyone thought it was a profitable business, and they all admired Ji He very much, thinking that Ji He was really making more and more money.

Because the kiln was indeed burning things for its own use, some people who were ready to watch and laugh naturally did not succeed.

Ji Dacai was a little disappointed and a little relieved. He had thought that if the things he burned could not be sold or encountered some trouble, he would ask Ji Xiuer to help solve it. Maybe his elder brother and Ji He would remember their kindness and their relationship would be restored. Unfortunately, things were not what they thought. Fortunately, Ji He did not suffer any loss. Although this son had been cut off from his relationship, he was still his son after all. Now he was so capable, he still did not want him to pay all the money. If he lost all the money, wouldn't it belong to someone else? At least it belonged to their Ji family.

Ji Xiuer was only slightly disappointed that she could not step on Ji He, but she thought there would be opportunities in the future.

Ji Xiao and Ji Shun were much more disappointed than Ji Xiuer. They originally looked down on Ji He, but Ji He was getting better and better now. He was no longer the cowardly boy who allowed them to bully and scold him. This made them feel very unwilling and felt that they should live a better life than Ji He. They originally wanted to hit Ji He this time, but they failed again. The two could only turn their eyes to Ji Xiuer again and beg her to find a good way out for them.

Ji Xiuer thought that her brothers from her natal family would have a promising future, and she would have helpers in the future. Besides, she liked to be praised by others. Once her brothers and sisters-in-law praised her, she would find a way.

Ji Xiuer helped, and Ji Shun went to the restaurant in the town to help. It was not another restaurant, but Four Seasons Restaurant. He got in with the help of the Wang family. Because Ji Xiao had studied, he worked as an accountant, which was very decent. Ji Shun was very satisfied. Ji Xiao also had a job to do. Ji Xiuer planned to let him find a job in the Jiang family. With so many industries in the Jiang family, were they afraid that they could not arrange for one of her brothers? At that time, let her brother slowly understand the industries of the Jiang family, and it would be convenient to take over.

As for Ji Shun being able to work as an accountant in Four Seasons Restaurant, the villagers really felt that the daughter of Ji Dacai's family was really married. Look, she has found a good job for her brother from her natal family before she gets married. What else can she lack in the future? Immediately, many people got along better with their family.

Some people also said that Ji He and Ji Dacai's family were indeed incompatible. Now that the relationship was severed, both sides lived a good life.

Zhang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the relationship is over, and it has nothing to do with who is good or bad in the future."

Zhang also knew that the young master Jiang that Ji Xiu'er married was not a good guy. She felt that although she was in a good position now, she didn't know what would happen to her in the future. Who knows what would happen to Ji Dacai's family who lived a good life because of her! She didn't care about their family, as long as they didn't affect Ji He anymore. So she took this opportunity to talk about the benefits of breaking off the relationship.

Ji Xiu'er's marriage was another lively event that people could praise for a long time, even more talked about than Ji He's opening a kiln and making drinks with grapes. After all, Ji He's affair happened across the river, while Ji Xiu'er's marriage was in the village, which could deepen people's impression more directly.

Ji Xiuer's wedding was considered grand in Qingshan Village. After all, Ji Xiuer was now Wang Zhubo's goddaughter, and she was marrying into the Jiang family. She sat in a big red sedan chair, and firecrackers were set off for a long time. Jiang Kang, who came to pick her up, wore a red robe with red flowers and rode a horse. He didn't look sickly, which made many people who originally thought that Ji Xiuer would not be very happy even if she married a rich

man very envious. Among those envious and jealous people was Zhang Li Niang. She thought that Ji Xiuer was not as pretty as herself, nor as smart as herself, but she successfully married a rich man and recognized a powerful adoptive father. What about her? Her family is now the object of ridicule by the whole village. Because of the bad luck in the family, their family spent a lot of money, including the money to compensate the Jiang family, the money to arrange for Zhang Wenlang, and the money to treat the injuries of her family. All her dowry money was spent, and in a few days, even the money for food would be gone!

Zhang Li Niang thought that she couldn't live like this anymore. She wanted to get close to Ji Jun, but she didn't have the chance. Ji Jun avoided her, and Ji Jun's family scolded her. Even the village chief came out, which made her feel ashamed. But she wouldn't give up. She didn't have to marry Ji Jun, but Ji Jun was someone she liked. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, she hoped to marry Ji Jun.

Zhang Yu'e had sharp eyes. When she saw Zhang Li Niang, she felt that she must have a plan. She told her sister's family to be on guard. As a result, she only focused on Ji Jun and neglected Ji Qiao.

Ji Qiao made a decision that made their family angry and shocked the whole village. He was going to be a servant to Wang Zhubo. The one who

made Ji Qiao make this crazy decision was Jian Hu. Jian Hu and Wang Jiaoer were engaged.

Ji Qiao wanted Jian Hu to marry Wang Jiaoer, so he would become Wang Jiaoer's elder, that is, Jian Hu's elder. He wanted Wang Jiaoer to lose Wang Zhubo's favor, determine Jian Hu's future, and make them regret their decision!

"It's such a turbulent autumn."

Ji Lan sighed after telling Ji He and the others about Ji Qiao's situation. Regardless of gloating,

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu looked at each other and thought that there were indeed a lot of things going on this autumn, but they were more concerned about the lives of themselves and their relatives and friends. As for other things, let those people deal with them.

â 93. Chapter 93 Shopkeeper Bai

Chapter 93 Shopkeeper Bai

"You shameless thing! Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not come out?! What are you doing out here!"

Ji Dasheng yelled at Ji Qiao. He was not a person who easily lost his temper. He was very good to his own son and daughter. He valued and counted on his son, but he cared for and loved Shuang'er. He thought it would be difficult for Shuang'er to get engaged in the future, so he treated her better before she got engaged. So even though Ji Qiao had a bit of a spoiled and bad temper, he didn't say anything. But he didn't expect Ji Qiao to cause such a big trouble, which really made him lose face!

In the eyes of others, being a servant to Wang Zhubo might be a good thing. After all, she would have a backer in the future. Ji Qiao was a concubine and was from a rural peasant family, which made this marriage even better. But in Ji Dasheng's eyes, this was not a good thing at all. A servant was a concubine. How could such a person come from his family? It's not like he couldn't afford food, nor could he find a man!

Ji Dasheng felt that Ji Qiao had brought shame to his family, but since things had come to this point, he was willing to give it a try and make Wang Zhubo give up this idea. However, Ji Qiao was not happy about it. She cried and said that if he was not allowed to go to the Wang family, he would die. She even threatened him with a pair of scissors, which frightened Zhang Cui'e to faint.

In the end, the marriage was successful, but Ji Dasheng was angry and did not want to see Ji Qiao again. He asked him to stay in the house before he left the house, and he was not allowed to come out as long as he was at home.

Today, when Ji Dasheng came home, he saw Ji Qiao in their room, and his eyes immediately turned red.

Ji Qiao jumped off the kang in fear and stood aside with her head down.

Zhang Cui'e advised: "Master, stop yelling. It has come to this. It's useless to be angry. After all, he is our child. Do you really plan to be angry with him for the rest of your life?"

Ji Dasheng said: "Why not?! Once he leaves this house, don't come back! Our family can't afford Shuang'er who works as a servant!"

Ji Qiao said: "Dad, Wang Zhubo is an official after all. It's not a shameful thing."

"You dare to talk! Get out of here!"

Ji Dasheng said angrily, thinking that he really spoiled Shuang'er, otherwise he would not do such a thing.

Ji Qiao bit her lip and said, "Dad, I know that a big part of the reason why you are angry with me is that you think it will embarrass your brother if I serve as a servant to Wang Zhubo, because you want him to take the exam to become a scholar in the future and pursue a career in officialdom. A younger brother who serves as a servant will make him lose face, right? But you have to think about the bright side, I can help my brother too! Is it so easy to take the exam to become a scholar? No one has passed the exam here for many years! Even if someone passes the exam to become a scholar, it is difficult to pass the exam to become a juren!"

"Okay, you dare to scold your brother for failing?"

Ji Dasheng became even angrier. Although he knew that what Ji Qiao said was quite right, he still couldn't tolerate him saying such discouraging words. He was counting on Ji Jun's success!

Ji Qiao quickly said, "If I serve as a servant to Wang Zhubo, I can ask Wang Zhubo to help my brother if he passes the exam. If he fails, I can still ask Wang Zhubo to help him! If he passes the exam, at worst, Wang Zhubo can let me go home, then everything will be fine, right?"

Ji Qiao certainly didn't like Wang Zhubo. He only thought of serving Wang Zhubo because Jian Hu wanted to marry Wang Jiao'er to mess with them. If Ji Jun could really pass the exam, he would definitely be willing to leave Wang Zhubo, and by that time, he might have already made Jian Hu and Wang Jiao'er suffer enough. After venting his anger, he can naturally leave Wang Zhubo. If he doesn't leave, do he have to accompany the old man until his death?

Zhang Cui'e said, "Boss, what A Qiao said is right. Don't be angry. A Qiao is also suffering. How can he live if you scold him again?"

Zhang Cui'e wiped her tears.

Ji Qiao also cried, thinking about that damn Jian Hu. He had liked him for so many years, but Jian Hu despised her for being Shuang'er and would rather marry a woman like a tigress. How could he not be angry? That tigress dared to let people beat him and spit on his face. He couldn't stand it!

Seeing the two of them crying together, Ji Dasheng was upset, but also a little soft-hearted. It must be said that Ji Qiao's words really made him feel much less angry.

Ji Jun walked in and said, "Dad, don't scold Aqiao anymore. It won't help to scold him now. It's better for our family to be fine. The more we make trouble, the more people will laugh at us."

"Aqiao, you chose this path yourself. Don't regret it." Ji Jun said to Ji Qiao. He knew that Ji Qiao would regret it in the future, but what could he say now? He admitted that what he thought in his heart was the same as what Ji Qiao said. With the help of Wang Zhubo, even if his career as an official was not feasible, at least his future would not be too bad. He would not stay in this small village for the rest of his life. He did not want to be a farmer in this small village.

Ji Jun always felt that he was different. He felt that he was like a phoenix that fell into a chicken coop. One day he would fly away. Even if he could not fly to the sycamore branch, he would not stay in the chicken coop. This idea became stronger after seeing Ji He, who he once looked down on, suddenly own such a family business. After Jian Hu climbed up to Wang Jiaoer, it was even more uncontrollable.

Ji Jun knew Jian Hu very well. He always knew that Jian Hu's heart was high. How could his heart not be high? He always thought that he would be more promising than Jian Hu, but Jian Hu was one step ahead of him just by knowing Wang Jiaoer. How could he be willing? If Ji Qiao became Wang Zhubo's servant, he could not only help him, but also step on Jian Hu. Thinking of this, Ji Jun felt a special pleasure in his heart.

Ji Qiao said, "Brother, even if I regret it, I have to take this step!"

No matter what the family members thought about Ji Qiao's insistence, they all kept silent in the end.

Zhang Lan stood at the door and listened. In the end, she could not hear any movement. She curled her lips and thought that no matter how much they quarreled, she would still have to serve Wang Zhubo as a servant. He really didn't expect that Ji Qiao's final result would be like this. He originally thought that either Ji Qiao would pester Jian Hu and finally get what she wanted, or she would find another suitable family, which would not be too bad. But the result was not like this at all. However, being a servant to Wang Zhubo was not bad either. Although she was just a servant, and although Wang Zhubo was old enough to be a father, he had power and money, and in the eyes of many people, he was heading for a good future. He didn't know what kind of future he would have.

Zhang Lan thought about it and said what was in her heart.

After hearing this, Zhang Lan's mother, Ji, sighed and said, "It seems that you and your cousin are not going to be together, but he and Ji Qiao are promising, which will also help your future marriage. We can always find you a suitable one. What do you think of Ji Qing?"

"Mom! You really dare to think so!"

Zhang Lan widened her eyes. What kind of person is Ji Qing! He is smarter than his cousin Ji Jun. He didn't mention his illness before, but now he is well and has a bright future. Is he still afraid of not being able to marry a beautiful wife? She herself feels that she is not worthy of him! Moreover, she doesn't dare to get close to Ji Qing. Although the man looks gentle, he always makes people feel like a deep pool of water, the kind that will drown if you fall into it. He wants to live a good life, but he also cherishes his life!

Ji also thinks it is unreliable. She only regrets why she didn't take action in advance when Ji Qing was sick. How could this son-in-law run away? It's too late to say anything now.

"Or, how about Tian Jinduo? He has a very good relationship with Ji He and Ji Qing. Ji He has good fortune and Ji Qing has a bright future. Tian Jinduo will have a backer in the future. If you promise him the marriage, he will definitely live a good life. His reputation is bad now. If you are willing to marry him, his family will definitely be happy!"

"It's better to be with Ji He than with him!" Zhang Lan didn't like Tian Jinduo. When he mentioned Ji He, he couldn't stop envying Zhang Xiaoyu. He thought how lucky Zhang Xiaoyu was. As a Shuang'er, he had a man who loved him so much, the man he wanted in his dreams!

Ji sighed and thought about his Shuang'er. He was neither high nor low. Let him think about it again!

Ji Qiao was carried away in a sedan chair. Although he was a servant, he was still quite glorious.

Zhang Daniu's family was the most depressed family. Originally, they were supposed to have a daughter, Shuang'er, carried to Wang Zhubo's house, but it didn't happen. Since then, their family seemed to be targeted by the god of bad luck. Unlucky things followed the family one after another, and their originally good life fell into a slump. They were angry when they saw Zhang Xiaoyu living a

good life, and they were still angry when they saw Ji Qiao go to Wang's house. Zhang Wenlang had been back from hard labor for several months. He was tired before and had been resting. Now he was almost done resting. He thought that he must not be depressed like this, he had to make a comeback!

Ji He went to Baihua Town and passed by the Four Seasons Restaurant. He just looked inside and didn't go in. Since he knew that Ji Shun was the accountant here, he didn't plan to go in here again, so as not to lose his appetite.

Ji Shun saw Ji He, and when he saw that Ji He didn't stop, he snorted, thinking that it was nothing great, he could still ride such a carriage, and he would own one soon.

When Ji He was shopping, he met Shopkeeper Bai and talked to him for a few words, only to find out that he was no longer the shopkeeper of the Four Seasons Restaurant.

"Alas, it's hard to explain. Anyway, I can't work there anymore."

Shopkeeper Bai didn't tell Ji He the details. In fact, he had been having a hard time since Wang Jiao'er got into trouble at the restaurant. He was molested by the deputy shopkeeper. Later, when Ji Shun came, things got even worse. He was fired after a dispute.

Ji He thought about it and vaguely guessed the reason. He thought that the Four Seasons Restaurant was also at a loss for Shopkeeper Bai. Shopkeeper Bai could be said to be a good shopkeeper.

"Uncle Bai, have you found a new job now?"

"It's not that easy to find. I asked a few friends and I'm still waiting for their reply." Shopkeeper Bai said with a smile.

"Uncle Bai, why don't you be the shopkeeper for me? I plan to open a restaurant. It may not be as big as the Four Seasons Restaurant, but it also needs a shopkeeper." Ji He said that he still had some money in his hand and didn't want to just leave it there. He thought that money still had to make money. When he thought about opening a shop, he first thought of a restaurant. He knew some recipes, and he could make some seasonings. In the future, he would have wine supply. Was he still worried that the restaurant business would not be good?

When Manager Bai heard this, he was stunned, then he was happy and said, "Sure! Whenever you open a restaurant, I will be your manager!"

Manager Bai was very unwilling to be kicked out of the Four Seasons Restaurant. He thought that if he wanted to be the manager of a restaurant again, he must snatch customers from the Four Seasons Restaurant to get rid of his anger!

Ji He said he would go back and think about it, asked for Manager Bai's address, said he would come to find him, and then left.

â 94. Chapter 94 Mingxiang Tower

Chapter 94 Mingxianglou

Since Ji He was ready to open a restaurant and had made a comprehensive plan, he stopped procrastinating and found Shopkeeper Bai to discuss it with him, and then prepared to find a house to open the restaurant.

Shopkeeper Bai said: "I know a good place. That place is going to be sold, but the price may be a bit high."

Ji He asked: "Which place? How much silver?"

"It's just in the south of our town. There is a teahouse called Mingxianglou. There is a yard behind the teahouse, and there are houses behind it. It covers a large area and the scenery inside is also very good. I think you have been there, right? I know you like to take your little husband around. It's not easy for you to go to far places. I think you have visited all of our Baihua Town, right? Mingxianglou is also famous, you should have been there."

Shopkeeper Bai looked at Ji He with a smile. Ji He doted on his husband. Anyone who knew them knew that he loved to tease them.

Ji He smiled, not caring about the meaning of Shopkeeper Bai's smile, and said, "We have been there, but we haven't been to the back."

Shopkeeper Bai said, "That's a residence, you naturally can't go in, but I know the owner of that house, and I have been in. The owner's name is Zhao Xiang, and he is not from here, but he has lived here for most of his life. Recently, he plans to return to his hometown in the south and plans to sell this property. I heard him say that, and I don't know if he has found a pawnbroker. If not, we can talk to him directly and save some money. But the price should not be low, it will cost several hundred taels."

Ji He thought about the teahouse. The teahouse had three floors, was built very solidly, and was very clean inside. The decoration was also okay. If the yard and house at the back were added, it would not be surprising to sell it for several hundred taels, but how many hundred taels would it be? Three hundred is also a few hundred, nine hundred is also a few hundred, and he didn't have much money in his hand now. He had invested hard a while ago, and it cost a lot. At this time, he felt a little regretful that he had not accepted the gold and silver when Jiang the landlord came to thank him for sending medicine to Jiang Ping, but this little regret soon disappeared.

Ji He still had ways to make money, otherwise he would not have come to Shopkeeper Bai to discuss opening a restaurant.

"Just go there and take a look. If the price is still suitable, choose there. If it is really not suitable, choose another place."

Ji He was actually 80% satisfied with the place. Now he just needed to inspect it again, and then go to the pawnshop to compare prices.

Zhao Xiang was a middle-aged man about the same age as Shopkeeper Bai. When he heard that Ji He was interested in buying his teahouse, he took Ji He to have a look, including the backyard.

The backyard was indeed as Shopkeeper Bai said, with beautiful scenery, rockery and strange rocks, and some trees planted. It can be seen that a lot of flowers and plants had been planted before. There was a building in front, and a circle of houses in the back. There was another entrance behind the house, where the family lived.

Zhao Xiang said, "Six hundred taels of silver is a good deal for such a large area. Master Ji, please think about it carefully."

Ji He smiled and said, "Six hundred taels is too much. If it's less, I can still consider it."

Ji He was satisfied with the place, but he didn't show it on his face. He still wanted to bargain for the price. The more he could bargain, the better.

Zhao Xiang said, "Since you are sincere about buying it, and for the sake of Shopkeeper Bai, five hundred and eighty taels! This sounds good, and it will be a good start. What do you think?"

Ji He said, "I'll think about it and give you an answer tomorrow at the latest."

Liu Xiang sent them out and went back.

Shopkeeper Bai asked, "Ji He, are you satisfied with this place?" Ji He

nodded and said, "It's okay, but we'll go to the shop to have a look. If there is a better one, we will naturally get the better one."

The two found the shop, and the shopkeeper introduced them to the shop. There were only two places that met their requirements. He took them to have a look, and finally they thought Mingxianglou was the best.

"I'll go and raise the money, and we'll buy Mingxianglou!"

Ji He made up his mind, and then he said goodbye to Shopkeeper Bai and got in the car.

Shopkeeper Bai watched Ji He's car go away, shook his head and said, "This young man is really energetic. Who would have thought that he would have such a great fortune?"

â 95. Chapter 95 Ginseng

Chapter 95 Ginseng

When Ji He returned home, he saw Zhang Xiaoyu sitting on the kang, leaning against a pillow and sleeping with his eyes closed. He was sleeping soundly, and you could hear a slight breathing sound. His long eyelashes were like two small fans, and his pink lips were still pursed, as if he was smiling gently, making people feel that he had a sweet dream. He was holding a book in his hand, and it was obvious that he fell asleep while reading.

Ji He smiled slightly, walked over and took the book away and put it aside, wanting Zhang Xiaoyu to lie down. As soon as he touched him, Zhang Xiaoyu opened his eyes.

The best part of Zhang Xiaoyu's body is this pair of eyes. Whether he is happy, angry, or wronged, these eyes always make Ji He like them. Now these eyes are a little confused because they just woke up. They are as pure and cute as a lost deer. Ji He couldn't help but kiss him on the eyebrows.

"Are you still sleepy? If you are, go to sleep for a while."

"You are back, I won't sleep anymore."

Zhang Xiaoyu woke up, a little shy, wondering how he fell asleep? It's not summer, and it's not afternoon. It's really embarrassing. People who don't know him would think he's a lazy person.

Ji He didn't let Zhang Xiaoyu get up. He pulled the quilt over him. He sat next to Zhang Xiaoyu, put his hand in the quilt, and said, "Lie down for a while. If you feel sleepy, go back to sleep. It's not too late to get up after dinner. Let me talk to you."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and asked him how his trip to town went today.

Ji He explained the situation and said, "I plan to buy the Mingxianglou, but Boss Liu wants 580 taels. If I bargain a little more, I should be able to get a little less. There are two other places, but none of them are as good as that one."

"580 taels? We don't have that much money. But we still have the ginseng you found at home. If it doesn't work, we can sell it. Or we can sell it to the Jiang family. Don't they like to collect these things?" Zhang Xiaoyu said, thinking that the landlord Jiang cherished his life very much, and his family especially liked to prepare some precious medicinal materials. If they sold their ginseng, they would probably be bought. Moreover, based on the kindness of her husband saving Jiang Ping, the landlord Jiang would not give too little money. Ji

He smiled and said, "I think so too. If his family doesn't want it, I will go and see if the Yan family wants it. If the Yan family doesn't want it, I will find a medicine store to sell it."

Ji He thought that his ginseng would be easy to sell and there would definitely be someone who would want it. He dug this ginseng from the mountain. Guarding the mountain, he naturally would not just sit there and watch. He would go to the mountain when he had the chance. With a sweetheart, he would not think about risking his life to hunt large prey. Instead, he planned to see if there were any good medicinal herbs. He only knew a few kinds of medicinal herbs. The most precious ones he wanted to find were ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. He did not hold much hope. As a result, his luck was really good. After several attempts, he actually found two ginsengs, and both were of a good age. He hid the two ginsengs more secretly, and from time to time, he would water them with spiritual spring water to make the two ginsengs grow better.

These two ginsengs have now been dug out by Ji He. He thought that he would have a chance to encounter ginsengs in the future. He would collect these two ginsengs when they were almost ready, whether to exchange them for money or for emergency use at home. Now he was going to sell one, and the remaining one would definitely be kept for his own use before he found a better one.

After the two of them discussed, it was time to eat. They were now living here and had someone to serve them, but usually Ji He and his friends still liked to cook by themselves. Ji He liked to add spiritual spring water to the food, and the two of them cooked more like a family.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Woof!"

As soon as the two of them finished cooking, two greedy dogs came in after smelling the aroma. They were Crab and Shrimp. They had grown into half-grown dogs now, much stronger than dogs of the same size as them, fat and strong, with black fur, loud barks, and ran like two arrows. In the eyes of others, they were majestic and even a little scary, but in front of Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu, they were so well-behaved, with a cute and obedient look. Their big heads rubbed and arched back and forth on the pants of the two people, and the barking sound turned into a whining sound.

Zhang Xiaoyu touched the crab's head and said, "Be good, your meal is ready. I'll serve it to you. Ah He, bring the meal down for them."

Ji He had already taken down two large ceramic basins, put them on the ground, touched the shrimp's head, and said, "Eat slowly, don't grab the crab's meal."

The shrimp arched Ji He's knees in a coquettish manner, looking at Ji He with its big black eyes.

Ji He smiled and said, "Eat, I won't talk about you anymore."

Zhang Xiaoyu also smiled and touched the crab's head, then he and Ji He took the meal back to the house, sat on the kang and continued to talk while eating.

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoyu felt a little sleepy again and yawned.

Ji He said, "Did you not sleep well yesterday? Why are you always sleepy? Don't go with me, I can go alone, you can sleep at home."

Zhang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "No, I'll go with you, it's not good to sleep all the time." After that, he blinked energetically, ran two laps on the spot, moved his waist back and forth, and finally felt energetic.

Ji He could only take him to Jiang's house.

Jiang Wanguan's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the ginseng that Ji He took out. He had bought a lot of ginseng over the years, but he had never seen a ginseng as good as the one that Ji He took out. He immediately decided to take it. Ji He wanted 600 taels, so he gave Ji He a silver note and an extra 500 taels, telling Ji He to use it first. When Ji He saved Jiang Ping, he went to give him a gift, but Ji He didn't take the gold and silver. Landlord Jiang always felt that he owed him, and now naturally wanted to help.

Ji He thought about it and realized that the restaurant really needed some money to turn around. Although he still had some silver in his hand, he would be more confident if he had more, so he didn't hesitate.

Jiang Ping went to study, and Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu only sat with Landlord Jiang for a while before saying goodbye. On the way out, they met Ji Xiuer.

â 96. Chapter 96 The Teahouse Was Robbed

Chapter 96 The Teahouse Was Robbed

Ji Xiuer had her face smeared with powder, her hair was combed into a woman's bun, with gold and jade, she looked very rich, she was wearing a red silk cloak with some fur edges, she just got off the carriage, when she saw Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu coming out, the smile on her face froze, but she smiled again soon.

Ji He didn't wait for Ji Xiuer to speak, he took Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and walked towards his family's car.

Ji Xiuer's mouth was open, watching Ji He just glance at her and then pull Zhang Xiaoyu past her without looking sideways, her face twitched, she glared at Ji He fiercely, what was he thinking, how dare he do this to him, didn't he just rely on luck to make some money? A jinx is a jinx, now he thinks he got a big bargain, but he will spit it out tenfold or a hundredfold in the future! Don't kneel in front of me and beg for food when the time comes!

Zhang Xiaoyu sat in the car and said with a smile: "Did you see Ji Xiuer's funny look just now?"

"No, I don't want to see her at all." Ji He pinched Zhang Xiaoyu's nose, and seeing him smiling brightly, he said: "What's so funny about this kind of person? Let's go to the theater to watch a play together one day. Watching a clown performance is more interesting than watching her."

Zhang Xiaoyu leaned on Ji He's arms, played with Ji He's fingers and said: "I just can't stand the way she looks at you."

Although Ji Xiuer looked at Ji He with a smile, her eyes couldn't deceive people. It was as if she was some kind of person who was high above. Being willing to talk to Ji He was giving him face, and he should immediately go to curry favor with her. Zhang Xiaoyu hated that look. In his heart, Ji He was very powerful and the most amazing person in his heart. Ji Dacai's family all owed Ji He. Why did a group of selfish and ugly people want to reconcile with Ji He after giving up on him and his life improved? And use that kind of high-handed attitude? It's so infuriating!

Even if Zhang Xiaoyu was looked at like this by Zhang Daniu's family, he would not be so angry, because he did not care about that family anymore, but because he loved Ji He, he would stand up for him and feel wronged for him.

How could Ji He not know, hugged Zhang Xiaoyu, kissed his forehead, and said: "Just treat her as a clown, I don't care what she thinks of me, we just need to live our own lives. Besides, don't you think she won't live a good life at all? How can she live a good life if she marries a man like that? Maybe she will die anytime soon."

Ji He was not cursing Ji Xiu'er, but it was really possible. Jiang Kang dared to kill Jiang Ping, who grew up with him. That was the biological son of Jiang Wanguan who raised him, and also his cousin. Such a person married a woman he didn't want to marry at all and had to marry because of a design. Who knows if he will be cruel in the future? If Ji Xiu'er was a smart woman, Jiang Kang might be able to look at her differently, but Ji Xiu'er only has some cleverness, which often makes people more annoyed. It is really useless and harmful. How long can Jiang Kang tolerate her? Even if Jiang Kang is a weirdo who likes women like Ji Xiu'er, or Ji Xiu'er suddenly learns to please Jiang Kang, they may be able to live a relatively harmonious life, but in the future, as long as there are any conflicts of interest, Jiang Kang may have some bad thoughts at any time.

This person who dares to kill, as long as he has done it once, he will dare to do it again in the future, not to mention that the opponent is just a weak Ji Xiu'er.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't sympathize with her at all, and I feel happy."

Ji He looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's cute appearance with a slightly frown, kissed his forehead again, smiled and hugged him tighter, what's the point of wanting to care about those annoying people? The person next to him is the most important person to him.

Ji Xiu'er was still cursing the two people who left in her heart, and didn't know that they were also talking about her, but she thought that even if they were talking about her, they must be talking about her bright clothes. Since she married Jiang Kang, she has been working very hard to learn to be a noble lady. Although it has not been long, she feels that she has been very successful. Now when she walks on the streets of the town and enters any shop, everyone she sees has to call her Madam! When she returns to her parents' home, not only will the villagers be jealous and envious, they will flatter her and praise her, but even her family will hold her in high esteem. That feeling is so wonderful that she thinks it is worth her wholehearted desire to marry a rich man.

It's just that this way of marrying is not very glorious!

Ji Xiuer now suspects that it was Wang Jiaoer who designed her and Jiang Kang. She didn't doubt it at first, but later when she knew that Wang Jiaoer and Jian Hu were engaged, she began to doubt it, wondering if Wang Jiaoer had taken a fancy to Jian Hu, but Wang Zhubo wanted to promise her to Jiang Kang, so Wang Jiaoer framed her. Once this idea came out, she was almost certain, thinking that this damn Wang Jiaoer actually dared to design her like this, let's see if she has the chance to design her in the future! But it is not possible now. She is still counting on the Wang family. Besides, although she did not marry Jiang Kang voluntarily, Jiang Kang is rich and his body is not as useless as the legend says. He is almost her husband.

Ji Xiuer is now the goddaughter of Wang Zhubo. Jiang Kang dare not treat her badly. At least he treats her well on the surface. Ji Xiuer thinks that she has charmed Jiang Kang. She is still confident in her appearance. So Ji Xiuer is quite satisfied with her life now. She lives in a big house and rides a big horse. She wears silk and satin and eats chicken, duck, fish and meat. She wears too many gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry. Servants run around her. Her husband is gentle and considerate. How can she not be satisfied with such a life? The only regret is the separation of the family!

Ji Xiuer walked on the road, looked left and right, and gritted her teeth. Why was she separated by Jiang Wanguan as soon as she married in? Jiang Kang is not Jiang Wanguan's son! Although she got a lot of property, so much that Ji Xiu'er's eyes were about to burst with stars, and she felt that she could not spend so much money in three lifetimes, but she was still unhappy. She thought that Jiang Wanguan would only give a small part to Jiang Kang, and he kept the rest for himself. After all, Jiang Kang was not his biological son, so how could he favor Jiang Kang? He must love his younger son more and leave the big part to his biological son!

Jiang Kang must have received less than 10%!

Ji Xiu'er thought so. She thought that if it were her, she would definitely not give even 10% of it, but the landlord Jiang would give these for the sake of face, but it was just face! When Ji Xiu'er thought that there was a property that was ten times more than her own family property that belonged to Jiang Ping, how could she be willing? Obviously, she was so close to those riches!

Because of this unwillingness, Ji Xiu'er often came to pay respects to Jiang Wanguan, pretending to be a virtuous daughter-in-law, thinking that if the relationship was improved, maybe she could get more property in the future.

Jiang Wanguan didn't like Ji Xiuer. He got along well with Ji He and liked Ji He's character. Naturally, he also knew the grievances he had suffered in the Ji family. He thought that if there was only one good person in that family, Ji He wouldn't have suffered so much. As the most favored youngest daughter of that family, if Ji Xiuer could say a few words for Ji He, Ji He wouldn't have been forced into that situation! In addition, he also felt that a girl who could get along well with a willful girl like Wang Jiaoer was not a good girl. Birds of a feather flock together. Although this saying is not 100% certain, it is not without reason. But when

Ji Xiuer came, he couldn't do anything to her. He either refused to see her or made an excuse to let her go after saying a few words, thinking that she would not come again in the future.

Today was the same. Although Ji Xiuer entered the gate of the Jiang family, she only said a few words before and after, and Jiang Wanguan let her go.

"What did Ji He do here just now?" The

person who sent Ji Xiu'er out was a short servant. This person was someone Jiang Kang left behind. Jiang Kang didn't want to tell Ji Xiu'er at first, but it was just a coincidence that Ji Xiu'er found out. From then on, Ji Xiu'er never forgot to ask the servant about the situation when she came, and then went back to tell Jiang Kang.

The servant whispered, "From what I overheard, it seems that they were planning to open a restaurant, but they didn't have enough money, so they sold a ginseng to the master for 600 taels. The master gave them 500 taels more, saying that it was a loan for them."

"Open a restaurant?!"

Ji Xiu'er's eyes widened, thinking that Ji He was really making a fuss. He had previously obtained a farm, made some drinks out of grapes, and even worked in a kiln. Now he was actually opening a restaurant! Needless to say, this restaurant must be opened in the town. He must have heard that she had sent his second brother to work as an accountant at the Four Seasons Restaurant, and he was not convinced! The Four Seasons Restaurant will be her property sooner or later. Isn't this stealing her money? He really doesn't know what's good for him!

No, he can't be allowed to open this restaurant!

Ji Xiu'er quietly stuffed a piece of silver into the servant boy and said, "Keep watching it, you will definitely benefit from it!"

"Yes, yes, thank you, young madam!"

The servant boy happily put the silver away.

Ji Xiuer got on the carriage and didn't even bother going back to her parents' home. She asked the driver to drive fast and returned to her residence in the town. When she found Jiang Kang, she saw Jiang Kang lying down reading a book. She knew that the book was not a good one and she really wanted to snatch the book and throw it into the brazier, but she resisted the urge to do so. Who asked her to play the role of a little wife now?

Jiang Kang glanced at Ji Xiu'er lazily with a look of disdain, then looked back at the book and asked, "Did you see Dad? Was he happy?"

Ji Xiu'er smiled and said, "Not bad, but you have to go back often to see him. It's better if we go back together, that way it shows filial piety."

"Well, I'll go back with you in two days."

"I saw Ji He at Dad's place today. He went with his husband. I heard that he went to sell a ginseng to Dad. He sold it for 600 taels, and Dad lent them 500 taels. They plan to open a restaurant, it must be in the town. Do you think we can ruin their business?"

Ji Xiu'er didn't want Ji He to open a restaurant. Wouldn't Ji He make more money if he opened a restaurant? His face would also become bigger. She felt suffocated just thinking about it.

Jiang Kang put the book aside, sat up and said, "This Ji He is really lucky. He can get a farm by planting flowers, and he can save my second brother by planting land! Now he can also get ginseng. He has been very lucky since he left your Ji family. It seems that he is really incompatible with your family. It's a pity for your family. You have such a lucky star but can only stare and can't benefit from it. Tsk!"

Ji Xiuer glared and said, "He is a jinx in our family! If it weren't for him, our family would have lived a good life these years! He owes our family. My mother gave birth to him in vain, and the family raised him in vain! He is an ungrateful person, and he still wants to open a restaurant in town. He flatters him!"

Jiang Kang heard Ji Xiuer scolding Ji He as an ungrateful person, his face sank, not because he felt sorry for Ji He, but because he remembered that Jiang Wanguan had scolded him as an ungrateful person when he was angry before, saying that he had raised him in vain. He thought that he must take all the property of the Jiang family, otherwise he would really be unworthy of the title of ungrateful person!

Seeing Jiang Ping's long face, Ji Xiu'er pretended to be obedient and said, "I say, do you really want Ji He to open this restaurant? Even if Four Seasons Restaurant cannot be in our hands in the future, we must open another restaurant. Isn't Ji He stealing our business? It's better for you to mess up his business."

Jiang Kang thought that Ji He saved Jiang Ping, and he didn't like Ji He, because if Jiang Ping died at that time, he wouldn't have to be kicked out of the house. He would be the only young master of the Jiang family, and the whole Jiang family would belong to him in the future. Thinking of this, he felt that he should make some trouble for Ji He. After

Jiang Kang left, Ji Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that if Jiang Kang really messed up Ji He's business, she didn't know how angry Ji He would be. It would be best if he was angry to death!

Ji He got up early the next morning and found Zhang Xiaoyu was still sleeping, his little face was rosy. Ji He kissed him on the forehead, cheeks and lips, but Zhang Xiaoyu still didn't wake up. Ji He thought that Zhang Xiaoyu was really sleepy these days. Is it because he likes to sleep in winter? Wouldn't that be hibernation? Imagining Zhang Xiaoyu as a little bear, Ji He couldn't help laughing. Not

disturbing Zhang Xiaoyu any more and letting him continue to sleep, Ji He got up first. After washing up, he went to the study and drew a picture of a cute little bear.

When Zhang Xiaoyu woke up, the sun was already high. After he got up, he saw a note on the table saying that they were going to town.

"Why did I sleep so soundly? I wanted to go to town with him." Zhang Xiaoyu touched his face in annoyance, thinking that he was too sleepy these days. It seemed that he had not done enough work. He used to be so busy every day that he had no time to sleep. He was so happy that he was lazy.

Zhang Xiaoyu decided to do some work to prove that he was not lazy. He found some silk and planned to make clothes for Ji He. He thought that Ji He would be very handsome in silk clothes. Ji He was no longer the thin and weak one before. He was very handsome. Even if he was wearing cloth, he had a unique style. If he wore silk clothes, he would definitely be like those operas, a handsome man.

Zhang Xiaoyu blushed when he thought about how Ji He would look in the clothes he made, and then he worked faster.

When Ji He arrived in the town, he first found Shopkeeper Bai, and then went to Mingxianglou, intending to buy it from Zhao Xiang, but things had changed!

Zhao Xiang was very embarrassed to say that this teahouse could not be sold to them.

Shopkeeper Bai was very unhappy and asked why. He introduced this place to Ji He, and it had been negotiated. Ji He also raised the money, but Zhao Xiang regretted it, and Shopkeeper Bai couldn't help but be angry.

Ji He also looked at Zhao Xiang, wanting to hear his reasons. He thought it was nothing more than someone else bought it, and the price was higher than theirs.

Zhao Xiang was really embarrassed and said, "Someone has offered a higher price. To be honest, I have relatives and friends here, and I can't cause trouble for them. I'm really sorry. I can only sell this teahouse to him. I'm sorry for you. Please forgive me."

After saying this, what else could Shopkeeper Bai and Ji He not understand? In other words, the person who bought the teahouse threatened Zhao Xiang, and their anger subsided a lot.

Shopkeeper Bai said, "Old Zhao, can you tell us who that person is?"

Zhao Xiang didn't hide it, anyway, they would know it later, so he said Jiang Kang's name.

Shopkeeper Bai frowned and said, "It turned out to be him! No wonder!"

Shopkeeper Bai knew that Jiang Ping was the son of the landlord Jiang, and he married the goddaughter of Wang Zhubo, which meant that he was rich and powerful. And this man was still Ji He's brother-in-law. Of course, Ji He and the Ji family broke off their relationship, so the relationship was also broken. I didn't expect that he robbed this teahouse. I really don't know what to say.

Ji He didn't have much expression. Although he was satisfied with this teahouse, he didn't have to open this teahouse. He could still find another place to open a restaurant. As long as the food and drinks he sold were good, he could make money anywhere! He was just a little unhappy with Jiang Kang's behavior of snatching things from him. He thought that this ungrateful wolf had just got some family property and came to squander it, and even bullied him. He wanted to see what he could do with this teahouse! When he had more capital in his hands, whatever business he did here, he would open a business opposite to steal his business!

Ji He asked Zhao Xiang: "Boss Zhao, do you know what business Jiang Kang plans to do after buying your teahouse?"

Zhao Xiang immediately said: "It seems that he still plans to open a teahouse."

Ji He thought to himself that he would forget about it this year, and next year he would open a teahouse opposite here, specializing in tea grown with Lingquan, and make him lose money until he closed down!

After saying goodbye to Zhao Xiang, Shopkeeper Bai felt very sorry for Ji He. This delayed his work and made him angry. He had to find another place to open a restaurant. He was really afraid that Ji He would stop doing this business in anger. Wouldn't he have to find a new way to make a living? He was also planning to vent his anger for being driven out of the Four Seasons Restaurant! Ji He

didn't think of giving up. How could he give up after such a small incident? He was sure to open this restaurant.

When Shopkeeper Bai heard that Ji He would continue to run a restaurant, he felt relieved. He talked about the Four Seasons Restaurant and Ji Shun. "That Ji Shun, don't look at him as educated, he is full of bad intentions. I don't know if Jiang Kang will take him over to be the owner of the teahouse this time. This kid has climbed up step by step very quickly thanks to his sister. But after all, he is not as capable as you, Ji He. You are really capable, and theirs are nothing."

Shopkeeper Bai said that although Ji He was lucky, he was really capable, unlike other people in the Ji family, who relied on a woman to climb up the ladder to become rich. When

Ji He heard about Ji Shun, his mind suddenly turned. He thought that Jiang Kang bought Mingxianglou but did not open a restaurant, but a teahouse. Was it because Ji Shun was in the Four Seasons Restaurant? This restaurant makes more money than the teahouse. There is no reason for Jiang Kang not to open a restaurant. Even if Jiang Kang does not want to offend Wang Zhubo, he will not offend him if he opens a restaurant. After all, the Four Seasons Restaurant does not belong to Wang Zhubo. If he opens a restaurant, Wang Zhubo may get more benefits than he did in the Four Seasons Restaurant. So is it possible that Jiang Kang is eyeing the Four Seasons Restaurant, thinking that he will take over the Four Seasons Restaurant sooner or later, so there is no need to change Mingxianglou into a restaurant?

Although this idea is not particularly certain, it is not impossible.

Ji He suddenly had an idea. If this idea can be realized, it will definitely make a group of people angry to death, and of course it will offend a group of people. However, he was a little annoyed by Jiang Kang who robbed this teahouse today. He wanted to let these people know that he is not easy to bully!

As for offending people, he is not afraid, he has a backer! And it is a big backer!

Thinking of the recent correspondence with Zheng Yuan, Ji He smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes.

Chapter 97 Ji Qing Peach Blossom, Go Against It

Ji He and Zheng Yuan did not lose contact these days, but they were still in close contact. It would be inconvenient for ordinary people to communicate from the capital to their place, but Zheng Yuan's identity was not ordinary. He wrote a letter to Ji He, which could naturally be delivered to Ji He quickly. Ji He wrote back to him. Although they only met once and separated after meeting, they were like-minded at first sight. Through writing letters, their feelings became deeper and deeper.

Ji He was very good at getting along with others. He knew that Zheng Yuan was a person with a very good background. He looked simple but not stupid. It was natural to be in touch with him because of his pure heart. Therefore, the words between the lines of the reply were very natural. The things he sent were all inexpensive but interesting, which made Zheng Yuan look at him differently.

Ji He told Zheng Yuan that the wine was ready, but the time was short. He would send it to him when the time was right. Since then, Zheng Yuan always asked about the wine in his letters, and even said that if he didn't send it to him, he would come to live with him permanently.

In short, although the friendship between the two is not deep enough to be brothers in life and death, it is definitely possible to let him be a backer for me. This is Ji He's evaluation of his friendship with Zheng Yuan.

Thinking of Zheng Yuan as a backer far away, he will naturally think of the future backer who is in front of him.

Ji He came to his uncle's house, said hello, and then went into Ji Qing's room.

"Brother Qingzi, this is what I bought for you. It is the best four treasures of the study. Don't use them sparingly."

Ji He put a bundle on the table and said to Ji Qing with a smile. He looked at Ji Qing and saw that Ji Qing was no longer sick. He had a slender figure and was dressed in green, like a green bamboo. He gave people a bookish elegance. He thought that his cousin was really a natural scholar. Even if he grew up in a farmer's family, he didn't make people feel that he was a farmer's son at all, but a handsome young man who lived in a farmer's family. Even if he couldn't pass the imperial examination or become an official, he would definitely live a good life with this appearance.

Ji Qing opened the bundle and prepared to see what the best four treasures of the study that Ji He mentioned were. But seeing Ji He looking him up and down, he asked, "What are you thinking about? Your eyes are rolling around, why do I feel like I've turned into a piece of pork?"

"What pork? Brother Qingzi, you're belittling yourself too much." Ji He said with a smile, "I thought of you as a flower, and was wondering whether you, a flower, should be paired with the daughter of an official or the daughter of a landlord. No matter which one, you will never have to worry about food and clothing in your life. Having good looks is an advantage!"

Ji Qing was not angry. He stretched out two fingers and tapped Ji He's forehead, saying, "Nonsense!"

Ji He touched his forehead, smiled and said, "Brother Qingzi, I'm serious. You're getting more and more handsome now. Even if you don't attract bees and butterflies, the bees and butterflies will pounce on you. You have to take a big fan and follow them. "You should protect yourself when you are here! The most important thing for you now is to study hard, become a scholar, and then become a juren, and then a jinshi. At that time, I will register all my family's land under your name, and how much tax money can be saved! You can also be my backer. If anyone bullies me, I will report your name!"

Ji He thought that he would have more and more things to do in the future. In addition to having money, he would also need power. Zheng Yuan was naturally one of them, but he was an outsider after all, and he was far away. From a long-term perspective, it would be better to rely on Ji Qing. He believed that Ji Qing would definitely let him rely on him for the rest of his life, even if there was no interest relationship. It was because he was counting on Ji Qing that he was more concerned about Ji Qing's future.

Ji Qing smiled and shook his head. This cousin was timid and cowardly at first, but later became smart and capable. Now that he was familiar with him, he found that he was sometimes really ridiculous. He spoke so directly that he didn't feel any pressure at all, but instead had a joy of being relied on.

"You kid, you are so smart, why don't you take the exam yourself, maybe you will pass."

Ji Qing thought Ji He was very smart and advised Ji He to take the exam for a scholar, but Ji He only said to wait a few years. Ji He

sighed and said, "People's intelligence is divided into many areas. I don't like the knowledge of the imperial examination. Brother Qingzi, you go ahead and let me rely on you after you pass the exam. I will work hard for a few more years and maybe I will try it in the future. I will rely on myself then."

Ji He also wanted to take the exam for a scholar and a juren. He didn't want to be an official. He just wanted to be tax-free and not have to kneel before the officials. He wanted to be his own backer, but it was not so easy to pass the exam for a scholar. He didn't have a brain that was suitable for the imperial examination like Ji Qing, so he could only take it slowly. Maybe he would pass the exam in a few years, and then his property would increase, and a reputation would protect himself and his family.

Although Ji He likes to find a backer, he still knows that the most reliable backer is himself.

Ji Qing tapped Ji He's head with his finger again and said, "Don't make it hard on yourself. It doesn't matter if you fail. I'm here for you. If I pass the exam in the future, all your land will be registered under my name, and I won't ask for any rent. You just need to be a rich man. But you have to leave the best wine for me when the time comes."

"Of course!" Ji He said with a smile. Seeing Ji Qing looking at the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, he said seriously, "Brother Qingzi, I was not joking when I told you about your marriage just now. You must be cautious about your marriage." Ji He did

not stop Ji Qing from getting engaged or married in the near future, but he heard about something, that is, the daughter of the county magistrate's family fell in love with Ji Qing, but the county magistrate and his wife were not happy, because although Ji Qing was talented, she had not passed the exam to become a scholar. Even if she passed the exam, her family background was poor. It was not appropriate for a farmer to marry their daughter. But Ji He heard that the county magistrate loved that daughter very much. Who knew if he would agree after being persuaded? Ji He also heard that the young lady had a bad temper, and Ji He didn't want his cousin to marry an unsuitable wife just because of the daughter of a county magistrate.

Seeing Ji He mention this matter again, Ji Qing thought that Ji He was not a person who didn't know his limits, and he must have a purpose, so he asked him.

Seeing that Ji Qing didn't know anything yet, Ji He thought that the young lady was still too enthusiastic, and he couldn't let Ji Qing know nothing at all, otherwise he would not be able to prepare at that time. So he told Ji Qing. He repeatedly stated that he wanted to marry a virtuous wife, and this young lady's reputation was really bad, and she was not a good match.

Ji Qing frowned and thought about it, and finally remembered this young lady. He just met her accidentally at the home of his teacher, how could such a thing happen? He shook his head and didn't think it was necessary to worry about it. He would naturally find a way to push this matter away when the time came.

Seeing that Ji Qing knew about it, and was not tempted by the fact that the daughter of a county magistrate liked him, Ji He was relieved.

After leaving his uncle's house, Ji He returned home and saw Zhang Xiaoyu sitting on the kang and writing on the kang table. There was a little ink on his fair face. He walked over to help him wipe it off, and then sat next to him and watched him write.

Zhang Xiaoyu could write properly now. After finishing, he put it aside and said to Ji He, "How is it? Did you buy it?"

Ji He shook his head and said, "Jiang Kang snatched it away."

"Jiang Kang snatched it away?" Zhang Xiaoyu raised his eyebrows and comforted him, "It doesn't matter. Let's go to another place. There's more than one place."

Ji He smiled and said, "Of course there's more than one place. I've already thought about where it is. This time I'll make Jiang Kang regret snatching things from me! Guess where I will open a restaurant? If you guess right, I'll make you a boiled fish."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Even if I guess wrong, you will still cook for me. But I think I guessed it. With your temper, I think you will open a restaurant opposite his and compete with him for business. Right?"

"Yes, you are really my good husband. You know me too well!" Ji He leaned over and kissed Zhang Xiaoyu on the face, then on his mouth, sucking gently. It felt so sweet, more comfortable and tempting than drinking the spiritual spring.

Zhang Xiaoyu hugged Ji He's shoulders and couldn't help but deepen the kiss until he was out of breath, then he leaned on Ji He's shoulder panting.

The two of them lay on the mattress on the kang and hugged each other sweetly.

Shrimp used its head to push the door, put its front paws on the edge of the kang, barked, looked at them with big eyes, tilted its head, and looked like it was not clear whether it was smart or stupid.

Ji He really wanted to kick it, thinking it was ruining the atmosphere, and said, "Shrimp, go out and play! You are not as sensible as the crab, so the crab didn't come in."

As he was talking, the crab slowly poked its head in and barked twice, as if to say: Did you call me? I'm coming.

Zhang Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing and buried his head in Ji He's arms.

Ji He sighed, thinking about these two stupid dogs. He had obviously given them spiritual spring water to drink, and they were usually very smart. Why were they so stupid and cute when they disturbed their sweet time? He really wanted to throw them away, and Ji He began to consider throwing these two little things to Tian Jinduo.

Since Ji He had made up his mind, he started to proceed again. He found Bai Zhangju and told him his plan.

Shopkeeper Bai's eyes almost popped out of his head, thinking that Ji He's idea was really bold, but after being surprised, he felt that it was feasible. Before they bought Mingxianglou, they were actually not far from Four Seasons Restaurant, and now Ji He's plan was just closer. He knew that Four Seasons Restaurant had a backer, but Ji He also had a backer. Since Ji He had the courage to do this, what was he afraid of?

Ji He's plan was to open a restaurant on the street between Four Seasons Restaurant and Mingxianglou, and then grab the business of both restaurants. And this place is easy to find, but it is not easy to find. It is easy to find because there are still some stores between the two, and it is not easy to find whether all stores are willing to give up, and not all stores are suitable for opening restaurants.

After some observation and inquiry, Ji He took a fancy to two places. He pointed out these two places to Shopkeeper Bai, and Shopkeeper Bai's eyes almost fell out again. He wondered what was wrong with Ji He's brain, how could he come up with such an idea, but this idea was very clever!

The two places that Ji He had his eyes on were one opposite to the Four Seasons Restaurant and the other opposite to the Mingxiang Building. The two were back to back, and as long as they were connected, they would become one. The best thing was that the two places were not very big, and as long as the price was high, the owners of the two houses were willing to sell their houses and buy a shop elsewhere, so it was a good deal.

Ji He felt that he was very lucky. Both houses were willing to sell, otherwise he would have to ask for other places. It seemed that God was on his side this time.

This time, Ji He bought the house very quickly, took the new house deed, got on the carriage home, and thought about reporting the good news to Zhang Xiaoyu.

â 98. Chapter 98: Happy

Chapter 98

"Grandpa, my father is coming with a mule cart." Zhang Gu was driving a horse carriage, and just halfway home, he saw a mule cart coming in front of him. The driver was his father Zhang Shan. He wondered why his father came out? Then he found that his father looked a little anxious and waved at him.

"Grandpa, my father seems to have something urgent, waving at me."

"Oh, then ask him what it is." Ji He was sitting in the car, thinking about how happy Zhang Xiaoyu would be if he saw the two deeds. He liked to see Zhang Xiaoyu's happy and satisfied smile on his face. That smile made him more and more enthusiastic about his future life and felt that he was enjoying life.

Not long after he finished speaking, the two cars came together. Zhang Gu could see the people sitting in the car. His father was driving the car, and there were two people sitting in the back, one was Aunt Tian and the other was Tian Jinduo. He was wondering why the two people didn't sit in the car and cover themselves with a quilt, otherwise it would be so cold. Then he saw the middle of the car and found that the middle of the car was not empty.

There was a thick blanket piled in the middle of the car, and there was a person lying inside. He couldn't see who that person was, but when he saw that the blanket was made of satin, he immediately guessed that it might be Zhang Xiaoyu, because only Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu had satin blankets in their farm, and everyone else had cotton blankets.

"Who's lying on the car..." Zhang Gu just opened his mouth to ask, and if it was Zhang Xiaoyu, he would quickly say hello. In the garden, Zhang Xiaoyu was more popular than Ji He, because Ji He sometimes had to put on a bad face when managing the garden, while Zhang Xiaoyu seemed much gentler, especially Zhang Gu was honest, so Zhang Xiaoyu was more patient with him, and Zhang Gu felt that Zhang Xiaoyu was a good master and was more respectful.

Zhang Gu was interrupted halfway through his question. It was Tian Jinduo. He jumped off the car and shouted, "Hezi, get down quickly! Xiaoyu fainted! We are taking him to the town to see a doctor!"

Ji He was about to lift the curtain, but suddenly heard Tian Jinduo's words, jumped off the car, and rushed to the side of the mule cart. He saw that Zhang Xiaoyu was tightly stuffed in the quilt, and his head was covered with something, only half of his face was exposed to let him breathe. Now his eyes were tightly closed and his face was pale.

"What's going on?!" Ji He was worried and anxious, and felt that his heart was about to be torn apart. He was fine when he went out, why did he faint all of a sudden? He had been giving Zhang Xiaoyu the spiritual spring water! Thinking of the spiritual spring water, Ji He's worries disappeared by half. He thought, yes, he had been giving Zhang Xiaoyu the spiritual spring water, and the spiritual spring water could cure diseases, so there shouldn't be any problems with Zhang Xiaoyu's body. But thinking about how he was always tired these days, maybe he didn't drink enough spiritual spring water?

Aunt Tian said, "He was talking to me fine before, but he fainted as soon as he stood up. No matter how we called him, he wouldn't wake up. So I asked someone to send him to the town to see a doctor. Even if he wakes up, he has to see a doctor. If he is really sick, we have to know it earlier. We can't delay!"

Ji He also nodded, picked up Zhang Xiaoyu with the quilt, and asked Aunt Tian to help him get on the carriage.

Tian Jinduo took the whip from Zhang Gu and said, "I'll drive the carriage, Zhang Gu, you and your father go back."

Zhang Gu said, "I'll go with you. I'll help watch the carriage when the time comes. Grandpa Tian, ââyou should follow our grandfather."

Zhang Shan also said that he would let Zhang Gu go with him.

Ji He said, "Let him follow, Jinduo, get in the carriage quickly!"

Aunt Tian sat in the carriage and took care of Zhang Xiaoyu with Ji He. Tian Jinduo drove the carriage and Zhang Gu sat beside him.

Zhang Shan watched the carriage go towards the town in a flash, and then he drove the mule cart back, praying that nothing would happen to Zhang Xiaoyu. He knew how good the relationship between the two masters was. What would happen if something really happened? The good days had just begun, so nothing could happen.

When they arrived at the town clinic, they found a doctor and anxiously asked the doctor to see Zhang Xiaoyu. Seeing the doctor taking Zhang Xiaoyu's pulse, the three of them were very nervous, fearing that Zhang Xiaoyu would really be diagnosed with a serious illness. As a result, the doctor looked at them and said, "It's nothing serious, just pregnant. He is in good health, so there is no need to prescribe any medicine. If you are really worried, I will prescribe two doses of medicine." The doctor

thought that something serious had happened, but it turned out that it was just a Shuang'er who was pregnant. However, Shuang'er was not old, and she looked less than 20 years old. It was really a happy thing that she could get pregnant so soon. You know, it is not so easy for Shuang'er to get pregnant.

"What? Pregnant?!" Aunt Tian was the first to react, her face full of surprise. Zhang Xiaoyu was her adopted twin, and she had treated Zhang Xiaoyu as her own child these days. Because Zhang Xiaoyu was doing well, with Ji and such a good husband loving and pampering her, she was happy, but at the same time she was also worried, worried that they would never have children. Men all want to have their own children. If they are not in a hurry now, what about in the future? Seeing the two children so sweet, she, as a mother, prayed to the Bodhisattva for blessings many times, and the number of times she prayed to the Bodhisattva was no less than the number of times she prayed to the Bodhisattva for Tian Jinduo to get married as soon as possible.

Now, Xiaoyu is pregnant! Aunt Tian felt that Xiaoyu was really hardworking, and that her prayers to the Bodhisattva were not in vain. Her eyes were narrowed into slits with joy.

Ji He and Tian Jinduo were still in a daze. Aunt Tian patted Tian Jinduo and said, "Hezi is so happy about being a father that he is silly. Why are you so silly? Go hire a bigger carriage and buy two more quilts to make them softer so that Xiaoyu can lie down and go back. He has to be careful!" Tian

Jinduo nodded repeatedly. He was also stunned when he suddenly heard that Zhang Xiaoyu was pregnant. He was really happy for Ji He. This kid is going to be a father!

He patted Ji He's shoulder hard and said with a smile, "Hezi, don't be in a daze. You are going to be a father! I will ask you to drink the wedding wine when I go back! I'm going to find a carriage!" Ji

He was patted back to his senses. Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu, a smile slowly appeared on his face.

Ji He certainly wanted to have his own children, but since he married Zhang Xiaoyu, he didn't want to put pressure on him. It would be good if he had one, but it didn't matter if he didn't. But if he really had a child, knowing that there was a little life with his and Xiaoyu's blood growing in Zhang Xiaoyu's belly, the joy and emotion were really indescribable.

In the end, the doctor prescribed some medicine to make sure that Zhang Xiaoyu was fine. Ji He took Zhang Xiaoyu away. At this time, Tian Jinduo had hired a carriage, put Zhang Xiaoyu in it, and then only Ji He got in the carriage. Aunt Tian and Tian Jinduo got in the carriage driven by Zhang Gu. They

hurriedly bought some things and then returned to Deshui Village.

On the way, Zhang Xiaoyu woke up. He looked at Ji He with his watery eyes a little confused. He asked, "Ah He, why are we in the carriage?"

Ji He touched his forehead and said, "You fainted. Your godmother sent you to the town to see a doctor. I happened to go home, so I came together. Xiaoyu, we are going to be fathers and dads." Zhang

Xiaoyu just recalled that he did faint before, and was still wondering why he fainted for no reason. When he heard Ji He's words, his eyes widened and he thought he had heard it wrong. But when he saw the sparkle in Ji He's eyes and his joy, he thought he had heard it right. He felt his heartbeat speed up immediately. He couldn't help but put his hand in the quilt on his stomach. It was still flat, and he couldn't feel that there was a little life in it, but he touched it very carefully.

Tears flowed unconsciously, and Zhang Xiaoyu cried with joy.

Ji He knew he was happy, and he was actually happy and wanted to cry.

"Take good care of yourself. If this child dares to bother you, I will beat him in the future."

"You can't beat him. He's our child."

Although Zhang Xiaoyu objected verbally, a picture emerged in his mind. Ji He was holding a stick and chasing after a little kid who looked like him, but he couldn't catch up. He didn't know whether he was trying to catch up or really couldn't catch up. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face. If that was the case, he would definitely help Ji He catch the naughty kid. As for whether to beat him or not, that didn't matter.

Zhang Xiaoyu reached out and held Ji He's hand, saying, "Ah He, I'm very happy now."

Ji He nodded, he was also very happy.

Back at Deshui Village, when the family heard that Zhang Xiaoyu was pregnant, they all smiled with joy. They thought she was sick before, but unexpectedly she was pregnant. A bad thing turned into a good thing, which made people feel even more joyful.

After a lot of trouble, Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu were finally left. The two of them huddled on the kang, fingers intertwined, whispering, all about the topic of children, imagining what the child would be like in the future. Of course, Zhang Xiaoyu wanted to give Ji He a son, but Ji He said that it would be nice to have a Shuang'er who looked like Zhang Xiaoyu. Ji He felt his heart softened whenever he thought of a little doll who looked like a smaller version of Zhang Xiaoyu.

"It doesn't matter, I like it no matter what it is. If we give birth to a son this time, we will give birth to a little Shuang'er next time. If we give birth to a Shuang'er this time, we will give birth to a son next time." Ji He said to Zhang Xiaoyu, he didn't want him to be too stressed. "But your health is the most important. If it's not good for you, we won't have children."

Zhang Xiaoyu buried his face in Ji He's arms and said with a smile: "How many Shuang'er want to have children but can't, I will definitely have children if I'm pregnant."

Ji He said with some pride: "Your husband is amazing. It's only been a short time and you're pregnant. You can have as many children as you want in the future, unless we don't want to have children."

Zhang Xiaoyu laughed when he heard it. In his heart, Ji He has always been amazing, and what he said is naturally right. Thinking that they will have many children in the future, Zhang Xiaoyu is looking forward to it.

Aunt Tian asked Tian Daqiang to kill a chicken, and she made chicken soup. Halfway through, she remembered to ask Tian Jinduo to go across the river to inform Ji Dafa's family and let them be happy. Tian

Daqiang smiled and said: "That kid has gone."

Aunt Tian laughed and scolded: "It's so anxious! I think he will definitely go there not only to announce the good news, but also to anger people!"

No one knows a son better than his mother, and Tian Jinduo really went to anger people.

Tian Jinduo came all the way in a happy mood, and naturally many people asked him why he was so happy. He didn't hide this happy event. So the news of Zhang Xiaoyu's pregnancy spread quickly. Everyone said that Zhang Xiaoyu was really lucky, she married well, and she got pregnant so quickly. You know, it was very difficult for Shuang'er to get pregnant. Many people also thought that Ji He would become richer and richer, and Zhang Xiaoyu would definitely be taken over by others if she couldn't have a child. As a result, she got pregnant after only half a year of marriage!

â 99. Chapter 99 Feng gets angry

Chapter 99 Feng was angry.

Tian Jinduo planned to go to Ji Dafa's house first to announce the good news, and then go to hang around some people to see the changing expressions of those people. It would be so interesting and satisfying. As a result, he ran into Feng on the way. Feng was wandering around the village. There was nothing to do now, so she liked to go out for a walk, especially after her youngest daughter Ji Xiuer married a good family, she was more willing to go out for a walk and listen to others praising her.

Today, Feng was sitting on a stone pier in front of a house and talking with a few women. She had a slightly smug expression on her face, praising how filial Ji Xiuer was, how much food and fabrics she brought to her, and she showed her wrists, with two large bracelets shining with gold. She also pulled at her clothes, which were a maroon satin cotton coat, which made her look wealthy and out of place in this village.

"Xiu'er is so lucky to have married so well. I knew she would marry rich when she was little! Now she has married well indeed?" The eldest sister-in-law said with a chuckle, as if she was a fortune teller who made accurate predictions.

"Yes, yes, this is a blessing beyond words. She brings good luck to her husband. Look, as soon as she got married, Young Master Jiang became strong and healthy. I always heard people say that Young Master Jiang was prone to illness, but look, when we met him the other day, wasn't he a very energetic young man? This must be all the luck Xiu'er brought!" This one was even better at flattering, saying that Ji Xiu'er was a lucky star and Jiang Kang's magic medicine.

"Sister-in-law, you have finally made it. I envy you so much. I don't know what kind of family my daughter will marry in the future. Sister-in-law, I beg you shamelessly, please ask Xiu'er to help us take care of her! You know my daughter, although she is not as pretty as Xiu'er, she looks like a good boy and is easy to give birth to! You are so worried!" After expressing her envy, she stated her purpose, her eyes full of desire. When

the other women heard this person's request, they did not lag behind, and asked Feng not to leave their family behind. They either said that their daughters and granddaughters were good or that their nieces and nephews were good. Some also said that their nephews and nephews were good, and some even asked to find a good job.

Feng was both proud and annoyed, thinking that her daughter was capable and really proud, but why should her daughter's blessing be shared with others? It was because her daughter married well that she was so glorious among these women. If they all lived well, how could she be glorious? That's why Feng didn't want to help these women, and was just perfunctory.

Tian Jinduo had sharp eyes. He saw from a distance that Feng was surrounded by a group of people like the moon surrounded by stars. That smug face made him angry. He didn't need to listen to know that she must be flattered by those people and was very proud! Bah, isn't it just that there is a daughter who married a little better? What the hell is Jiang Kang! Thinking of what Ji He said that Jiang Kang robbed the Mingxianglou that he wanted to buy, Tian Jinduo looked down on Jiang Kang.

"Hey! Isn't this Jinduo? I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently? I see that you have gained weight. It seems that you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day?" An aunt saw Tian Jinduo and greeted him immediately. Tian Jinduo had a good relationship with Ji He. Ji He was living a good life now, so how could he treat Tian Jinduo badly? Look at the clothes Tian Jinduo is wearing now, they are better than before, not coarse cloth but fine cloth!

Tian Jinduo smiled and said, "Well, of course I'm living a good life. I'm going to be an uncle soon!"

"Uncle? I wonder which of your sisters is pregnant? Tell us so that we can feel happy!"

"It's not my sister or my sister, it's Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu is pregnant! Hezi is going to be a father soon, and I'm going to be an uncle! I'm going to tell Uncle Ji's family now, let them be happy too. Ji He said he would invite them to a dinner, saying that they are the child's grandparents!"

Tian Jinduo said it happily, and looked at Feng with his eyes slanted. Seeing Feng's face suddenly sank, and the smile on her face became even happier, he thought: You deserve it! You treated Hezi badly. Now that you are no longer related, the title of grandma has nothing to do with you!

Everyone was surprised when they heard it. Zhang Xiaoyu, a Shuang'er, had been married to Ji He for less than a year, and now she's pregnant? It's fast enough! After the surprise, they all congratulated. Some people looked at Feng. They were envious of Feng just now, but now they felt a little sorry for her. She had a son who was born to be incompatible with their family. He became rich as soon as he left. Their family had nothing to do with him. Even when they had grandchildren, they couldn't call her grandma. Instead, Ji Dafa and Zhang, who had a bad relationship with them, took the titles of grandpa and grandma. It was really suffocating!

Although everyone didn't want to offend Feng, they avoided sympathetic eyes, but Feng still noticed it and said angrily: "What are you looking at? What does this have to do with me? He is him, I am me, what does it have to do with me if he has a baby?! What's there to be proud of a Shuang'er who is pregnant? Maybe she will give birth to a Shuang'er. Shuang'er loves to give birth to a Shuang'er the most!"

Tian Jinduo was annoyed when he heard it, and said with a stern face: "Even if it's Shuang'er, we like it! Ji Er's family, you'd better remember what you said just now. He Zike has nothing to do with your family. Don't even think about getting involved in the future! If you get close to it again, you will be slapping yourself in the face!"

"You bastard! Who are you calling Ji Er's family? I am older than you after all! You have no manners, no wonder you did such a wicked thing! Do you really think you will be alright if you hide on the other side of the river? No one will forget your embarrassing deeds! I don't know which blind person will marry their daughter to you in the future. Either they will throw a piece of unwanted junk to you or they will marry Shuang'er to you. Just wait and see how proud you will be in the future!"

Feng opened her mouth and said a string of unpleasant words, which stunned the people around her. They thought that Feng's mouth was really poisonous! Those who originally wanted to talk about marriage for Tian Jinduo hesitated, and the family with Shuang'er at home were unhappy.

Zhang Lan's mother, Ji, was watching the fun nearby. She was very unhappy when she heard this and said loudly, "Second sister-in-law Ji, what do you mean by this? What's wrong with Shuang'er? Shuang'er can still live well!"

When Feng saw Ji, her eyes jumped and she wondered how she could let her hear what she said. She was not afraid of Ji, but she was afraid of offending Ji Qiao. Ji Qiao went to work as a servant for Wang Zhubo. If she really cared about it, she was still Ji Xiu'er's elder. And Ji Qiao was the nephew of the village chief's wife. If there was a fuss, the village chief's family would not be happy either. Really, she scolded Tian Jinduo, why did Ji get involved?

Tian Jinduo had been living well these days and could remain calm when others mentioned Taohong again, but he was still very angry because Feng's words meant to belittle Shuang'er.

Tian Jinduo was angry, and Ji Lan was even angrier. He was walking over with Mumu when he saw a group of people gathered in front of him. He wanted to come and see what was going on, but he heard Feng say that Shuang'er was not good, which was like poking his lungs. He jumped out and ridiculed Feng.

"Isn't it just that a daughter marries a landlord's son? What's the big deal! People who don't know would think that their daughter has reached the pinnacle! Aren't you afraid that she will fall from the sky if she is too proud? By then, she won't know which direction to take! She won't even know where to cry!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Be careful that no one wants you! If you have the ability, go find a landlord's son, but it would be strange if anyone wants you!" Feng's mouth was sharp, and Ji Lan's was even sharper, which made her jump to her feet. "That's outrageous, so outrageous! I'm your aunt, how dare you talk to me like that, it's really rude!"

Ji Lan put his hands on his hips and said, "I don't have an aunt like you! Which aunt would not speak so nonsense if she remembered that there was a nephew of Shuang'er!"

"Uncle Lan, don't be angry, we are all family, let's talk nicely."

Ji Xiaoyu popped up, looked at Ji Lan with watery eyes, and said in a crisp voice: "You are always a junior, no matter what my grandma said, you shouldn't quarrel with grandma, it shows that you are very uneducated. Uncle Ji Qing is also a scholar, you can't lose him. Come on, apologize to my grandma, we are still a family, it would be nice to talk happily, don't you think?"

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaoyu, and they couldn't help thinking that Ji Xiaoyu was really good at talking. It sounded reasonable, but it was also very annoying. If they were Ji Lan, they would be furious.

Ji Lan looked at Ji Xiaoyu, pursed his lips and smiled, then laughed angrily: "Ji Xiaoyu, you little girl are well-educated. I feel that you have made me angry now. You should kneel down and kowtow to apologize! Then I will forgive you, what do you say?"

More and more people were watching. Some of them didn't see the front. When they heard Ji Lan say this, they felt that something was wrong with him, bullying the younger generation. But when they heard what the people who arrived earlier said, they kept silent and continued to watch the development.

Ji Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Uncle Lan, you are being unreasonable! I am doing this for your own good, why are you making things difficult for me?"

Ji Lan rolled his eyes and said, "Little girl, go away, you have no right to speak here! Your family has really spoiled you, do you think everyone should think that what you say is right? Don't act pitiful in front of me, do you really think I don't know how many of the bad things that were accused of me and Zige were your ideas? You are obviously full of evil, but you are pretending to be upright and noble here, but you are not pretending well. You really need to learn from your second aunt, or learn from your mother, at least she pretends to be better than you!"

Ji Xiaoyu's face turned red.

Ji Xiaoyu is a little arrogant in her nature. She always thinks that whatever she says is right and that others will listen to her, so she can't learn the hypocrisy of Jin Cui Niang, nor does she have the silent scheming of her mother. After meeting Ji Lan, who is sharp-tongued and clear-headed, she was completely passive and beaten. Seeing the way people around her looked at her, she was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She felt that she had never been so embarrassed before. She didn't care about Feng and squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

Ji Lan curled his lips and glared at Ji Xiaoxiang and Ji Xiaoshi. The two little girls immediately turned around and ran away.

Ji Xiaoxiang patted her chest and said, "Uncle Lan is so powerful that he can even scold my sister away!"

Ji Xiaoshi looked at her and said, "My eldest sister is nothing special. She just relies on others to give in to her, but not everyone will give in to her. She deserves it today! Besides, I don't think Uncle Lan is that powerful. If it were me, I would definitely turn around and run away after he said that!"

"Then why don't you go and tell her? Grandma is still in there. Go and help her. Grandma will like you. Then she will definitely give you all the meat in the house." Ji Xiaoxiang thought Ji Xiaoshi was bragging.

Ji Xiaoshi pouted and said, "I won't go. I don't like eating as much as you do. Grandma didn't pay attention to us just now. Don't mention it again when you go home, otherwise grandma will scold us and run away without paying attention to her."

Ji Xiaoshi was actually a little afraid of Ji Lan. She thought that Ji Xiaoyu had run away crying, so she shouldn't go. Her mother said that she should maintain an elegant image in front of people other than her family in the future, so that she can marry a good family in the future. Her mother said that if her aunt marries well, she will be able to meet many rich people in the future, and she can be introduced to them. It will be easy for her to marry a good family. First of all, she must not let people find out what's wrong with her. Therefore, she will not be as stupid as Ji Xiaoyu. Ji Xiaoyu thought she was very smart, but she was actually very stupid. The

little girl was thinking about all sorts of things in her mind, but she saw Ji Xiaoxiang looking up at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking, just like the expression she had when she ate the roast chicken yesterday.

"What are you thinking about? What food are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking about Zhang Xiaoyu. Doesn't he have a baby? Uncle San is rich now, he will definitely make a lot of delicious food for him! I'm so envious! I heard that Uncle San made a lot of grape juice, I really want to drink it!" Ji Xiaoxiang is eating more and more delicious food now, but she still feels that it is not enough. Instead, she is more greedy than before.

Ji Xiaoshi pouted, wanting to have nothing to say to this greedy ghost, and even better, let her eat to death! But thinking of Uncle San and the other side of the river, Ji Xiaoshi is also yearning, and really wants to go over and take a look!

Feng looked at her three granddaughters running away, and she was so angry in her heart, thinking about these money-losing goods! One, two, or three are useless! Why not a grandson? Her eldest grandson is the most useful one! But she only has one grandson, which is really too few. Thinking that Ji He is about to have a baby less than a year after getting married, Feng was angry again, thinking that Ji He is really damned, no matter what time it is, it makes her, the mother, feel uncomfortable. It really is a nemesis!

Feng glared at Ji Lan and said, "You are really promising. You take it out on the younger generation!"

Ji Lan said, "It's better than you always saying bad things about Shuang'er!"

Tian Jinduo saw that more and more people were gathered around, and said to Ji Lan, "Alan, don't waste your time on her. Today is a festive day. It's not worth getting angry over some irrelevant people. Let me tell you, you're going to be an uncle! Xiaoyu is pregnant! Hezi asked me to tell you, uncle and aunt will be very happy, they are going to be grandparents!"

"Really?!" Ji Lan was extremely surprised when he heard it. He hugged Mumu beside him and said loudly, "Mumu! I'm going to be an uncle! That's great! That's great!"

Mumu was also very happy, but he was a little breathless because of being hugged by Ji Lan, but he was still smiling.

Tian Jinduo pulled Ji Lan away and said, "Be gentle, you're about to strangle me to death! Mumu, are you okay?"

Mumu shook her head and said, "It's okay. Let's go tell Uncle Ji and the others the good news!"

"Okay!" Tian Jinduo turned to Feng and snorted, "Remember, you said it, it has nothing to do with you! Go and discipline your juniors! Although you only have one grandson and the rest are granddaughters, you can't just ignore them. Otherwise, even if they are not your nemesis, they will bring disaster!" Feng watched

Tian Jinduo and the other three leave. She was so angry that her chest heaved. She ignored everyone and hurried home. She grabbed her two daughters-in-law and scolded them, saying that they were not good enough. One only gave birth to a son, and the other gave birth to a daughter and then never gave birth again. She said that they were not even as good as Shuang'er, and asked them to give birth to another son. Her words were almost like saying that if they couldn't give birth, their family was getting better and better anyway, and she didn't mind finding another woman for her son to give birth to another son. This made Zhou Guihua and Jin Cuiniang angry and anxious. After knowing the whole story, one of them spent a long time in the house stabbing the sole of his shoe, and the other tore a handkerchief.

Ji Dacai sat there in silence for a long time, and finally sighed, thinking that Ji He was going to be a father, but he could not be his son's grandfather. It was really God's trick!

No matter what happened to Ji Dacai's family, Ji Dafa's family was very happy. After receiving the news, they immediately went to the other side of the river, even Ji Qing went.

Hua Langzhong's wife watched Ji Dafa's family go to the other side of the river, and she ran straight to Zhang Daniu's house, thinking that she had to let Zhang Daniu's family know about this.

â 100. Chapter 100 How much Tian Jin likes someone

Chapter 100 The person Tian Jinduo likes

Zhang Daniu's family had heard the news a long time ago, just when Tian Jinduo, Ji Lan and others were fighting with Feng.

Tian Jinduo had already discovered that Zhang Daniu was standing at the back, otherwise he would not have returned to Deshui Manor so readily.

The atmosphere in the Zhang family was even worse than that in Ji Dacai's family. At least the living standard of Ji Dacai's family had risen sharply, while Zhang Daniu's family had fallen to the bottom. This change began after Zhang Xiaoyu left the family, making them angry and hateful towards Zhang Xiaoyu. Now that Zhang Xiaoyu was pregnant, this happy event did not sound good to them at all. One by one, they were cursing that Zhang Xiaoyu's child was gone!

Jiang Honglian cried in the house. She thought of her undestined child. She thought that Zhang Xiaoyu, a woman named Shuang'er, was about to give birth to a baby, but she, a woman, might never be able to give birth again. Her heart was like being fried in hot oil. She was angry that Zhang Xiaoyu had a good life, and she hated Ji He for taking Zhang Xiaoyu away. She hated Yu Huaihua for causing her to lose her child. She also blamed the Zhang family for not living up to expectations and getting worse and worse, even worse than Ji Dacai's family.

Zhang Li'niang was annoyed when she heard this and said, "Don't cry! What's the use of crying? You make people annoyed!"

Jiang Honglian jumped up and pointed at Zhang Li'niang and said, "I'm crying for my own sake. What does it have to do with you?! Don't cry. If you have the ability, go and marry a good one! Look, look, Ji Xiu'er married Young Master Jiang and now her family lives a good life. One of them went to help Young Master Jiang manage the fields, and the other went to work as an accountant in the town. Who in the village doesn't praise her for her ability now? You are also a grown-up girl. You always thought you were better than her before, saying that she was not as gentle and elegant as you. You are angry, but she is better than you now! You can't compare with Ji Xiu'er, and you can't even compare with Shuang'er! Zhang Xiaoyu followed Ji He, and now she lives a life that is better than the gods! Ji Qiao even went to work as a servant for Wang Zhujiang! What about you? You can't even subdue Ji Jun! And you still have the nerve to blame me! Take care of yourself! My son, your aunt won't even let me cry for you now, my poor poor son..."

Zhang Li'niang's face turned red and white, her eyeballs turned red, and tears rolled in her eye sockets because of Jiang Honglian's scolding like a string of firecrackers.

Yu Huaihua said to Zhang Wenlang: "Boss, pull your wife back to the house! This house will be filled with bad luck because of her crying!"

Zhang Wenlang went to pull Jiang Honglian.

Jiang Honglian looked at Yu Huaihua and cried, "If it weren't for you, how could I be like this now? Wenlang, our son is gone just like that!"

Yu Huaihua said angrily, "Have you had enough of making trouble? If you really blame me, just leave! Our family can still survive without you as a daughter-in-law! As a daughter-in-law, you should put your mother-in-law first. Do you still think that I was dead at that time?! Wenlang, look at your daughter-in-law, you can't do without her!"

Zhang Wenlang frowned and said, "Okay, go back to the house first!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at her, Jiang Honglian stopped while she was ahead and went back to the house. She sat on the kang alone, wiped her tears, and said bitterly, "My son is gone, and you act like nothing happened. Don't think I don't know that you will definitely dislike me in the future! Dare to treat me like this, I won't let you have an easy time!"

"Mom, don't be angry with Honglian, she will be fine in the future." Zhang Wenlang said to Yu Huaihua. In fact, he also resented his mother for making him lose his child, but he could bear it. He said to Zhang Li Niang: "Li Niang, don't blame your sister-in-law."

Zhang Li Niang said: "What's the use of blaming her?"

At this time, Hua Langzhong's wife came. Zhang Li Niang wanted to leave, but was held by the hand. She could only sit there and listen to their chat.

Hua Langzhong's wife asked them if they knew that Zhang Xiaoyu was pregnant. She said that Zhang Xiaoyu was blessed and it was a pity that their family broke up with Zhang Xiaoyu. She was very gloating, which made the Zhang family very annoyed. Yu Huaihua said that she was tired and wanted to let her leave.

"Don't be tired, I'll tell you about Li Niang's marriage, and you won't be tired!"

Zhang Li Niang frowned when she heard this. She wanted to leave, but she didn't. Although she knew that her mother would not agree, she still wanted to hear it with her own ears.

"I still want to talk about my nephew. His family is living a better and better life now. They have built a new blue brick and tile house! My nephew has not married yet, but he has been thinking about your Li Niang. Think about it carefully. If Li Niang marries him, she will definitely not be wronged!"

"Such a good boy, are you afraid that he can't find a wife? Let him go and find another girl. Forget about my Li Niang!" Yu

Huaihua refused. Is she kidding? She is counting on this daughter now. Don't you see that Ji Dacai's family relies on their daughter to marry a good family, and now the whole family lives a good life! Her daughter is no worse than Ji Xiu'er, and she will definitely marry a good family! Even if it doesn't work out, she can still marry a rich family as a concubine, just like Ji Qiao, and still be glorious! In short, it will never be the turn of a country bumpkin. What blue brick and tile house, is it great? It's not as good as a drop in the bucket of Jiang Dajiang's family property! The money for Wang Zhubo's meal should be enough to build a few rooms like that!

"Think about it carefully. With what happened to your family in the past year, it's really hard for Li Niang to marry into a good family. If she becomes a concubine, she might be driven out or killed at any time! It's better to marry into a wealthy family and be a proper daughter-in-law. How good is that? Li Niang, don't you think?" When Hua Langzhong's wife saw that Zhang Li Niang didn't leave, she thought that she had changed her mind and wanted to get married soon, so she asked her cheerfully, thinking that as long as she nodded, everything would be easy.

"It's better to be the tail of a phoenix than the head of a chicken!"

Zhang Li Niang said this, turned around and went out, returned to her room, and was so angry that she wanted to smash the cup at hand, but she held back. She thought, if they really thought she couldn't get married, they would force her to get all the bad and rotten things. They really thought he didn't know what kind of person Hua Langzhong's wife's nephew was! Her mother's family was in that village! Her mother finally got married out of that village, and then let her marry back? Don't even think about it!

After a fit of anger, Zhang Li'niang thought that this family was becoming more and more out of shape, and she must get rid of it quickly. She still wanted to marry Ji Jun. Ji Jun would take the imperial examination next year. If he passed the examination, she would have even less chance! She must hurry up!

Doctor Hua's wife left angrily, thinking, just wait, do you really think you can marry well? Don't think she doesn't know what Zhang Li'niang is thinking, she's just afraid that she will be embarrassed by then!

Doctor Hua's wife was so angry that she thought about how to remind Ji Jun's family.

When Ji Dafa saw Ji He, he patted Ji He's shoulder hard, laughed and said, "Good boy! Really try hard!"

Ji He blinked, feeling a little amused.

Ji Qing's smile was brighter than usual. The arrival of a new life always makes people happy, especially since his cousin, whom he was very grateful and fond of, was finally going to be a father. He actually felt relieved. If Ji He knew about this, he would definitely be even more amused. Ji Qing's mood was clearly the mood of a father and mother after seeing their son finally get married and have children!

"You must be more stable and motivated in the future, take good care of Xiao Yu and my little nephew."

"Of course, Brother Qingzi, don't envy me."

Ji He said with a smile. He is now a prospective father, and he is very happy. He actually feels proud of these people who haven't even been related to each other.

Ji Qing reached out and knocked on his head.

Ji Dafa also knocked on Ji He's head and said, "You little bastard, if you are too proud, I will come to you every day to grab my grandson!"

"Ah, I am not proud anymore, uncle, please don't be so cruel!" Ji He begged for mercy. When he thought that his soft baby would be grabbed by others in the future, and he would have to stare blankly when he wanted to hold the baby, he felt a pain in his teeth, thinking that this situation must not happen!

Tian Daqiang said with a smile: "This child is going to be a father and he is still like this."

Tian Jinduo said, "Hezi is very good like this. He is only like this in front of us. He is not like this outside. He is very arrogant outside."

Tian Jinduo imitated Ji He's words and deeds outside, which made Ji Dafa and Tian Daqiang laugh and said that he did not imitate him.

Aunt Tian was in the small kitchen with Zhang. Listening to Tian Jinduo's laughter, she shook her head and said, "This Jinduo is not as steady as Ah He. I don't know when he can become a father. If he gets married and becomes a father, it will definitely be better."

Zhang smiled and said, "Jinduo is a good child. He is one of the most famous in our village. The girls who can marry him in the future will be blessed."

Aunt Tian was moved and said, "You also know that Jinduo had that incident some time ago. I thought he would marry a good child to live with for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter if it is a girl or a twin, as long as the person is good!" Zhang

also liked Tian Jinduo very much. When she heard Aunt Tian say this, she was also happy.

Aunt Tian was anxious as she saw that Ji He was about to become a father. She thought that Zhang also liked her son, so she immediately asked Tian Jinduo if he liked Ji Lan, saying that she planned to ask Ji Lan to be his husband. She thought that her son must like Ji Lan, otherwise why would he always run outside so diligently? One time, she saw Ji Lan coming back from the direction her son went. No need to guess, her son went to find Ji Lan!

"Mom! Don't match me up with others! You want me to marry A Lan? You'll kill me!"

Tian Jinduo was shocked when he heard his mother's words, and he jumped directly from the kang to the ground.

Aunt Tian said, "You don't like Ji Lan? Then why do you always go out to look for Ji Lan? I saw it! Don't try to deny it! I tell you, I think Ji Lan is very good."

Tian Jinduo said, "Mom, A Lan is good, but I treat him as my brother! I have someone I like! I like Mumu!"

"You like Mumu?!"

Aunt Tian widened her eyes. It was not that she didn't like Mumu, but she didn't expect Tian Jinduo to like Mumu. After all, Mumu was as tall as her son, and her personality was very dull and shy. She never thought that someone with her personality would like someone like Mumu.

Tian Jinduo saw that he had to explain, so he said that he was in a bad mood when he met Taohong, and then he focused all his attention on taking care of grapes. At that time, Mumu was also hired to take care of grapes. Later, he picked grapes and made wine. He had more opportunities to meet Mumu, and gradually fell in love with Mumu.

"You little brat! Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Aunt Tian hit her son hard. She was actually happy that her son had someone he liked. Although Mumu didn't look that good in her opinion, it was good enough that her son liked her. Moreover, she thought Mumu had a good personality and would definitely be easy to get along with in the future. In this comparison, she was more suitable for Tian Jinduo than Ji Lan, who had a strong and aggressive personality. But what could Zhang say? Although they didn't make it clear, both parties understood what the other meant! If her son found someone else, Zhang would definitely be unhappy, but she would feel embarrassed!

After listening to his mother's worries, Tian Jinduo rubbed the place where he was hit and said, "Mom, don't worry. Ji Lan will not be willing to be with me. He will not be with me even if he can't find someone to marry in his entire life. If he wanted to like me, he would have chosen me a long time ago. Why would you have to mention it? Besides, let me tell you, someone has already taken a fancy to Ji Lan. When I go and give him a hint, that person will surely be anxious to go to Uncle Ji's house to propose marriage. Then you won't be embarrassed."

Aunt Tian asked, "Who is it?" Tian

Jinduo smiled and said, "The secret cannot be revealed!"

Aunt Tian slapped Tian Jinduo hard again, making Tian Jinduo scream, but he laughed after that because Aunt Tian then said that she was going to propose marriage to Mumu's family.
