☆ 81. Chapter 81 Life Story

Chapter 81 Life Experience

Seeing Yu Huaihua so anxious, everyone thought that Zhang Daniu must have something very important to tell Zhang Xiaoyu, which must be related to the interests of their family, otherwise why would Yu Huaihua be so anxious?

Ji Lan whispered to Zhang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, go and listen to what he has to say, and let Hezige go with you."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Ji He, who smiled and nodded. A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, thinking that Zhang Daniu would not tell Zhang Xiaoyu a story from the past? For example, the rumors about Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience? If this is true, then he really needs to listen to it. At this time, he really felt that he was right to insist on not letting Zhang Wulang go. See, isn't this another gain? Instead of sending Zhang Wulang to jail, he would rather know Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience.

Yu Huaihua grabbed Zhang Daniu's arm and said, "Master! You have to think it over!"

Zhang Daniu looked at her, sighed and said, "Do you want to see another son of ours being sent to the government office and then serving hard labor?"

Yu Huaihua stopped talking. Of course she didn't want to. One son had already gone, and if another one went, what would happen? She turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaoyu, her eyes were complicated, unwilling and not resentful. In the end, she let go of Zhang Daniu's arm and let Zhang Li'niang help her into the house.

Zhang Li'niang also guessed that her father was going to talk about Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience. In fact, Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience was not a secret in their family, and it was not a secret in the village. Although it was not explicitly stated that Zhang Xiaoyu was not a child of the Zhang family, the attitude brought about by that suspicion almost made public the fact that Zhang Xiaoyu was not Zhang Daniu's child. The reason why they didn't say it was confirmed was because Jian Hu's marriage was pretty good, and if it was really confirmed that it was not a biological child, there would be fewer words to restrain Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Li'niang didn't care to make this clear at first, because Zhang Xiaoyu really had no use after leaving this family, but now Zhang Xiaoyu is doing well, and they can talk to both Yan Yuanwai and Jiang Landlord, so Zhang Li'niang really doesn't want to let this couple go, but for Zhang Wulang, she can only obey her father. At this moment, she felt that Zhang Wulang was more of a hindrance than a help. She used to disdain his fighting and stealing, but now she hates him even more. But he still loves her, and even if she gets married in the future, she can't do without the help of her family, so for this, she endured it!

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu went into the house together, and others didn't go in, they were all waiting in the yard.

Ji He held Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, stood by the door, and said directly without looking for a place to sit: "Just say whatever you want to say, time is precious. You should pick out the important things to say. If I think you are talking nonsense, I will turn around and leave and take Zhang Wulang to the county town."

Zhang Li Niang looked at Ji He and said impolite words with a smile on his face, thinking that this man has changed a lot, but no matter how he changes, he will just be a dirt digger, and she will never like him. But when she thought of the scene when she framed him, she didn't know why she felt a little regretful. She thought that Ji He was no longer the stupid Ji He, and it was a bit embarrassing to leave such an image in the heart of the shrewd Ji He now.

"Ji He, even if you don't call me dad and mom for Xiaoyu's sake, you should respect my parents, right? After all, they are your elders in age." Zhang Li Niang pursed her rosy lips and said solemnly.

Yu Huaihua snorted coldly, "Li Niang is right. Don't make a little money and curry favor with two rich people and forget your own limitations. After all, you are not rich. Be careful that people will know that you are so ignorant and will not ask you for help in the future!"

Yu Huaihua thought that he would expose Zhang Xiaoyu's background today, so he spoke rudely.

Ji He said, "I only respect people who are worthy of respect. I can't respect a murderer who is older than me, right? Okay, let's talk about business, otherwise I will take Zhang Wulang away. Anyway, we can roughly guess what you are going to talk about, so it doesn't matter whether you say it or not."

Yu Huaihua was very angry when he compared them to murderers and robbers, but he had to shut up after being threatened by Ji He and looked at Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Daniu sighed, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu, and said, "Ji He just said that you have roughly guessed what I am going to say. Yes, what I want to talk about is Xiaoyu's life experience. Xiaoyu, don't blame us for being indifferent to you all these years. We really can't be affectionate to you! It's all your mother, that is, my sister's fault! Why did she take our baby away? That's our own flesh and blood, and she just lost it. How can we treat you well when we are looking at you?"

Zhang Daniu wiped his eyes.

Yu Huaihua also pretended to howl, and kept shouting "son, meat". In fact, Yu Huaihua didn't like Shuang'er, but how could she not show sadness at this time?

Zhang Li'niang lowered her head sadly and said softly, "It turns out that dad and mom really didn't doubt it, but were really sure that my brother was taken away by someone. Xiaoyu, think about it, although our family has not been very good to you over the years, we are not very bad either. Even if we find Wang Zhubo for you in the end, it is not the worst way out. Many families with Shuang'er will envy you! Please don't hate us! After all, it is your mother who harmed our family!" What

Zhang Li'niang meant by the last words was that your mother harmed our family, but you are her Shuang'er, and we raised you, so you have to pay off her debt!

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't think so much. He was relieved and disappointed now. He was relieved that he finally confirmed his life experience, and he was disappointed that he was really a child who was thrown into the Zhang family by mistake.

Ji He held Xiao Yu's hand tightly and said calmly: "Xiao Yu is also a victim, he doesn't owe you anything."

Yu Huaihua said: "How can he not owe you anything? The son must pay the mother's debt! I don't know where my Shuang'er was taken by his mother to suffer. When I think of my poor Shuang'er, I don't want to live anymore. Xiao Yu has grown up so big, but I don't know whether my Shuang'er is dead or alive! How can he not owe us anything? Maybe his mother felt that she couldn't support the child, or maybe she encountered something that forced the child to die, so she took my child away! My poor child, maybe he has died for you a long time ago, and now I don't know where his little bones are buried. Maybe there is not even a mound of earth, and he has been trampled by thousands of people! I am so pitiful..."

Yu Huaihua pretended to cry very well. She wanted to howl for a while, but was interrupted by Ji He's shout.

"Enough! If you cry again, I will send you to the county government office to cry about Zhang Wulang!"

Ji He threatened coldly, "What you said was all guesswork, don't try to blame Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu hasn't had a good life all these years. Even if he really owed you something as you said, he has been sold by you, and he has paid it back. You shouldn't continue to make trouble for him. If you didn't make trouble, how could you have caused those things later. So it's all your own fault!"

Zhang Daniu was holding his breath and said, "If I had thrown him away in a fit of rage, he would definitely not be alive today. Is such a kindness over just because he was sold once? Even biological children should not resent their parents for selling them, let alone he, an adopted son with a sin? Xiaoyu, it would be wrong for you to hold a grudge against us!"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Zhang Daniu and said, "Even if I'm not your child, I'm your sister's child, right? She was sold as a servant for you back then."

"She wanted to go there! She wanted to live a good life in a good family and climb up the social ladder. Can you blame us?" Yu Huaihua frowned.

Ji He curled his lips: "Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, Xiaoyu doesn't owe you anything, and I don't owe you anything now."

Zhang Li Niang looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said softly: "Whether I owe you anything or not, Xiaoyu knows it in his heart."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at her and said: "I don't owe you

anything!" Zhang Xiaoyu glanced at Zhang Li Niang indifferently and asked Zhang Daniu: "You don't know where my mother went, so did she leave anything behind?"

Zhang Xiaoyu knew over the years that the Zhang family didn't know where his mother was, so he didn't ask. He just wanted to know if there was anything left behind. Although he didn't know if the mother had deliberately taken the wrong child, he still wanted to know more about her, or more precisely, about his own life experience. Everyone wants to know where they came from, and so does he.

Yu Huaihua pouted and said, "No!"

Zhang Daniu's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head and said, "There is nothing, no, she took it all away. I've told you the truth, so let Wu Lang go!"

Zhang Xiaoyu was a little disappointed and looked at Ji He.

"You want me to let Zhang Wulang go with just these words? Impossible." Ji He smiled, not caring about the Zhang family's anger and wanting to eat his face, and said: "What you said is not a secret. Who in the village doesn't guess that Xiaoyu is not your child? We guessed that you would say this before we came in. And what you said makes me even more angry, and I don't want to let Zhang Wulang go even more."

The reason why Ji He said this was to deliberately cheat. He didn't have to send Zhang Wulang to the county government, but he had other purposes. He always felt that Zhang Daniu must have some secrets that he didn't tell. Just now, when Zhang Xiaoyu asked if his mother had left anything for him, although Zhang Daniu tried his best to hide his expression, he was still discovered by him. This old sly guy must have hidden something, maybe even Yu Huaihua didn't know it! If he didn't dig it out for him, he wouldn't be Ji He!

Yu Huaihua scolded: "You unreasonable bastard! You deceived us and told us something, but you didn't admit it! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning!"

Zhang Li Niang also looked at Ji He with disappointment, looking very contemptuous.

Zhang Daniu was so angry that he felt dizzy again, and he was busy persuading himself not to be angry.

Ji He didn't want to listen to their scolding anymore. Seeing Zhang Daniu so angry, he thought it would be troublesome to ask for things from him if he really fainted, so he immediately said: "Zhang Daniu, you have something left by your sister, right? Take it out! Otherwise, I will put your son in jail and let him serve in the most difficult place!"

Zhang Daniu had no choice but to say: "Wait a minute!"

"What? You, the boss, really hid something? What is it? Why don't I know?!" Yu Huaihua was anxious, thinking that Zhang Daniu might have hidden something good, right? If so, she couldn't give it to them. She was still angry that Zhang Daniu had kept it from her.

"Don't yell, it's not a valuable thing."

Zhang Daniu said unhappily, and then took out something and put it in the palm of his hand to show everyone. It was indeed not a valuable thing, but just a small stone pendant.

☆ 82. Chapter 82 Stone Pendant

Chapter 82

The stone pendant is only the size of a pigeon egg, red in color, and shaped like a small fish with its tail swung. It can be seen that this stone is natural and looks like a small fish. Someone cut a few knives on it to make it more vivid, making the small fish more vivid. What's more clever is that there is a small white stone in the mouth of the small fish, like a bead. There is a gap between the small white stone and the mouth of the fish, through which two small silver rings pass, and a rope made of golden silk thread passes through the small silver ring.

As soon as this stone pendant was taken out, it attracted everyone's attention, and they all stared at it closely.

Ji He felt that Zhang Xiaoyu's hand, which he was holding, trembled. Thinking that Xiaoyu still cared about his life experience, he felt a little distressed. Seeing that Zhang Xiaoyu did not reach out to take the small fish, he reached out to take it, but Yu Huaihua took the lead and snatched the stone pendant from Zhang Daniu. Ji He frowned and looked at Yu Huaihua, but he was not worried that she would not give it to him. He believed that this stone pendant was really worthless as Zhang Daniu said. It had been in his hands for so many years, and he must have gone to a pawnshop or a jade shop to ask, otherwise why would he take it out.

Zhang Daniu was robbed of something and glared at Yu Huaihua angrily, saying, "What are you robbing? I told you it's not a valuable thing!"

Yu Huaihua carefully looked at the pendant in her hand and said, "I think this thing is very beautiful, maybe it's jade, which is valuable!"

Zhang Li Niang thought so in her heart. She also thought that the silver ring and rope on the stone pendant looked very delicate and beautiful. Ordinary people would only tie a rope, how could they make it so delicate? My aunt has been in a wealthy family for a long time, even such a small thing is so delicate. Thinking of this, she yearned for a wealthy life even more.

Zhang Daniu said, "What kind of jade is this? I've asked several shops in town, it's not worth much! It's just an ordinary stone!"

Ji He laughed sarcastically, you want to see it, you've already found a place to see it, right?

Yu Huaihua was very disappointed. No matter how beautiful this thing is, as long as it's not valuable, she is not so rare. She stared at Zhang Daniu and said, "Why are you keeping a piece of broken stone so tightly? You don't even let me know!"

Zhang Daniu didn't say anything. He kept this stone pendant because he thought it was left by his sister. Even if it's not valuable, it doesn't take up space. Moreover, he thought that maybe one day he could see his sister again. If his sister is doing well, he will ask her for some money. If she doesn't admit it, this stone pendant may be useful. Because of this thought, he has been keeping this little fish. If Ji He hadn't forced him to do it, he would not be willing to take it out.

Ji He didn't care what they thought, and just said calmly: "Can we give this thing to you?"

Yu Huaihua said: "I'll give it to you, but you have to let my Wu Lang go this time! Otherwise, I'll throw this thing into the river instead of giving it to you!"

"If you threaten me again, believe it or not, I will really send Zhang Wu Lang to serve in the most difficult place!"

Ji He narrowed his eyes and looked at

Yu Huaihua, saying coldly. Yu Huaihua was frightened by Ji He's eyes and words, and hurriedly threw the stone pendant in his hand, muttering: "Why are you so fierce? It's just helping Yan Yuanwai with some small things! It's just an errand boy, what's so great about it! Take it, take it, what a broken thing!"

Ji He reached out to catch the stone fish, and then handed it to Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu held the stone fish tightly in his hand, and his heart fell.

After leaving the house, Ji He said to Lin Yongxin, "Village chief, let's forget about Zhang Wulang."

Zhang Wulang immediately said, "Let me go! Ji He said let's forget about it! Let me go!"

Yu Huaihua took Zhang Li'niang to help Zhang Wulang.

Lin Yongxin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he finally didn't have to go to the government office, but he was also curious about what Zhang Daniu had said to them, not only that Ji He and the others agreed not to send Zhang Wulang to the government office, but also not to teach him a lesson, let alone ask for compensation from his family. Looking at Zhang Xiaoyu's face, he wondered if he really told them about Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience? But he didn't dare to ask.

Ji Lan asked, "Brother Hezi, just let him go like that? What did they say to you that made you just let him go like that?"

Ji He looked at Zhang Xiaoyu.

Zhang Xiaoyu said very calmly: "I am indeed not a child of the Zhang family. They gave me a stone pendant that I used to carry with me. In exchange, we agreed to release Zhang Wulang."

Everyone sighed when they heard this, thinking that the Zhang family finally told the truth and confirmed that Zhang Xiaoyu was not their child. This was good, and they would never be able to accuse Zhang Xiaoyu of being unfilial again.

Ji Lan snorted coldly: "They hide your things and don't give them to you, and in the end you have to exchange them to get your things back. This is something that only people in their family would do! Shameless!"

Zhang Li'niang was displeased and said, "Ji Lan, can't you, Shuang'er, speak more nicely? It's not a valuable thing. Besides, it was left by my aunt. There's nothing wrong with my father keeping it. If you say something unpleasant again, I will not be polite."

Ji Lan said contemptuously: "Why are you rude? Are you going to wrong me too? No matter how unpleasant my words are, they are better than you talking nonsense."

Zhang Li'niang's face turned red. She wanted to say that she did not wrongly accuse Ji He, but when she saw Ji He looking at her with a smile but his eyes were cold, she didn't know why she couldn't open her mouth.

Lin Yongxin said, "Okay, since both of you have decided to let it go, let's not talk about it anymore. But you Zhang family must discipline your family members in the future. It's only been a short time. You have done one shameful thing after another! Our village can't stand you ruining our reputation. If you keep doing this, I will discuss with the villagers about punishing your family! Don't complain when the time comes!"

Zhang Daniu said quickly, "Yes, yes, don't worry, village chief. I will discipline them and let them stop causing trouble." Lin Yongxin nodded

, and left with Ji He and the others.

Zhang Li Niang thought of the look Lin Yongxin gave her just now, and her heart was in turmoil. She thought that Lin Yongxin was Ji Jun's uncle, and he didn't like her. Wouldn't it be worse this time? He would definitely say bad things about her in front of Ji Jun! Thinking of this, Zhang Li Niang's face turned from red to white. She looked at her parents who were supporting Zhang Wulang with concern and care, and then looked at her eldest brother's room with the doors and windows closed. She threw her sleeves in anger and went back to the room.

Jiang Honglian sat in the room, thinking that Zhang Wulang was really lucky. Why didn't he accompany Zhang Wenlang to suffer together? Thinking of Zhang Xiaoyu again, she felt envious and hateful. She thought that he finally had a good life, but she had to endure it in this family. She hated that if he hadn't been with Ji He, the things that happened later wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't have become what she is now! Touching her flat belly, she pounded it twice in hatred.

Lin Yongxin returned home and told Zhang Yu'e about this. Zhang Yu'e said contemptuously: "I knew that there were no good people in the Zhang family. There was only one good person like Zhang Xiaoyu! Now it's all right. Don't think of saying that Zhang Xiaoyu is unfilial in the future. Humph, if they knew that Ji He could live across the river and have so much land, I don't know how much they would regret treating Zhang Xiaoyu like that. What a poor life! They wanted to sell Zhang Xiaoyu but failed, and they cut off Zhang Xiaoyu's marriage even though he found a good husband."

Lin Yongxin said: "This is the end of being unkind. Look at their family now. It's getting worse and worse . , when you go to Dasheng's house and meet Ji Jun, talk to him and tell him to stay away from the girls from the Zhang family. If he really gets entangled with them, who knows if the Zhang family's bad things will implicate them in the future, and even our family will not be able to avoid it. "

Zhang Yu'e said: "I have said it before, don't worry, Ajun doesn't like her. Ajun has a good temper and can't lose face in front of anyone. This made Zhang Li's mother think that Ajun is interested in her. Our Ajun will have a bright future in the future, how could he like her? But I really have to talk to them about this matter again, so that Ajun can calm down and ignore her!"

Zhang Yu'e thought about it, said hello to Lin Yongxin and went out. As she walked, she was thinking that she had to publicize what the Zhang family had done, so that even if Zhang Li'niang, the cunning girl, wanted to use tricks to entangle Ji Jun, no one would believe her because of her family's reputation. She had high hopes for her nephew Ji Jun and didn't want him to be harmed by Zhang Li'niang.

Zhang Yu'e planned to do this, and so did Zhang and Aunt Tian. They did this because they felt sorry for the grievances Zhang Xiaoyu had suffered over the years, and wanted to vent his anger, and also wanted to completely cut off the Zhang family's way of relying on Ji and them in the future.

In this village, as long as one woman spread gossip, it won't be long before most of the village will know about it. If several women spread gossip together, it means that the whole village will know about it.

The incident at Zhang Daniu's house soon became the talk of the village. Everyone looked at their family with contempt. They knew that Zhang Xiaoyu was taken away by mistake but refused to admit it. They insisted on the engagement with the Jian family, forcing Zhang Xiaoyu to suffer and be sold by them. They also had to bear the reputation of being unfilial. They also planned to hide Zhang Xiaoyu's things. It was really wrong! This was not a big deal. There was a thief in their family! There were thieves in the village, but they had never been caught. Zhang Wulang was caught. It's better to ignore such people in the future!

Zhang Li Niang was too embarrassed to go out. Yu Huaihua was thick-skinned and couldn't stand so many people pointing and talking. She couldn't quarrel with others. Before she came out, Zhang Daniu said that they couldn't quarrel. They had to shrink their necks and behave themselves, otherwise they would be completely excluded. Later, she didn't go out if she could.

Zhang Daniu and Zhang Wulang also went to work in the fields early and then ran home.

Of course, this is all later. On that day, after being comforted by everyone, Zhang Xiaoyu followed Ji He to the other side of the river, and the two lived in a house that had been prepared long ago.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the stone pendant with a blank expression.

Ji He sat next to him, let him lean on his arms, and whispered: "If you feel bad, tell me, don't keep it to yourself."

Zhang Xiaoyu bit his lip and said: "Do you think she took me by mistake on purpose?"

This "she" naturally refers to Zhang Daniu's sister, that is, the mother of Zhang Xiaoyu in the mouth of others.

Ji He smiled and said: "I don't know about this. If she did it on purpose, she must have her reasons. If she didn't do it on purpose, then there is no need to be sad. If you can really see her in the future, ask her again. But one thing is certain, your family must love you very much. Look at how interesting this little fish is. Although it is just a worthless stone, not a jade or jewelry, you can see that you have put a lot of thought into it."

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at the stone fish swinging back and forth with Ji He's hand, and finally showed some smile on his face.

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyu smile, Ji He lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, and tied the stone fish to his wrist. Zhang Xiaoyu was now fair, with a golden silk rope tied to his thin white wrist, hanging the fat red stone fish, which looked very cute and interesting.

Zhang Xiaoyu touched the little fish and leaned in Ji He's arms, thinking that it was fine. Although he still didn't know where his relatives were and why he was abandoned, he now had Ji He and a home, and he would live a happy and happy life in the future.

Ji He hugged Zhang Xiaoyu, frowning slightly. He had other guesses about Zhang Xiaoyu's life experience, but he didn't want to tell Zhang Xiaoyu, because he didn't want to burden him. Everything would be discussed after he had a chance to meet Zhang Daniu's sister, of course, if he could meet her again in this lifetime.

☆ 83. Chapter 83: The Tian Family Moves

Chapter 83 The Tian Family Moves

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu moving to live across the river was not conspicuous, but the move of Tian Daqiang's family was very eye-catching. They

had just walked out of the house and had not walked far when they were seen by someone who asked with a smile: "Hey, Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian, ​​what are you doing? Are you planning to move with all these bags?" The one

who spoke was Li Chun. She saw Aunt Tian carrying a large bundle on each arm and two baskets in her hands. Tian Jinduo behind her was carrying a shoulder pole. The baskets on both sides were covered with lids so she couldn't see what was inside, but she knew that the shoulder poles were full because they were bent. She wondered what they were doing? She said they were moving, but she really didn't believe they were moving. Moving was not that easy.

Aunt Tian didn't like Li Chun very much. This woman had long ears and a big mouth, and her eyes were always eager to see the excitement of other people's homes. If there was anything going on in someone's home, she would definitely run to the front to see it. How could such a person be liked? But today Auntie Tian was happy, her eyes lit up when she saw her, thinking that Li Chun lived next door to Ji Dacai's house, so she could just tell her about Ji He's acquisition of the big house across the river, and she would definitely let Ji Dacai's family know, and make that family who bullied Ji He angry to death!

Auntie Tian said with a smile: "Yes, we are moving! The place we are moving to is so nice this time, I really want to fly there immediately!"

Li Chun's eyes widened, she didn't expect that she had guessed it right, were they really moving? Or moving to a good place? They were not going to move to the town, were they? ! But when she saw the mother and daughter walking like this, she thought Auntie Tian was teasing her, and she pouted.

"Oh! Congratulations! Where are you moving to? Not to the town? Why didn't you borrow a car? Won't you get tired from moving like this?"

"No need for a car, we can take a boat. We'll just move across the river, it's not far, it won't be tiring!"

"Across the river? You're not moving to Taohua Village, are you?"

When Li Chun heard the opposite side of the river, she first thought of Taohua Village, and then thought of Taohong in Taohua Village. A hint of sarcasm appeared on her face, wondering what the Tian family was thinking. Didn't they not want to marry into the Zhang family? Didn't they say that Taohong ran away? Why are they going to Taohua Village so happily now? And they are carrying so many bags. If it wasn't for the short time, she would have suspected that Taohong had returned and was pregnant with their Tian family's baby, which led them to bring things over so happily.

At this time, Li Chun still didn't believe that the Tian family was moving, but thought that Aunt Tian was crazy and continued to make her laugh.

When Auntie Tian and Tian Jinduo heard the word Taohua Village, their faces immediately darkened. Seeing the expression on Li Chun's face, they both wanted to slap her in the face.

Auntie Tian snorted, "It's not Taohua Village! It's the manor across the river, Biyun Manor, do you know? The villagers went there to grow grapes a few days ago! Let's move there!"

Tian Jinduo was impatient to talk to Li Chun anymore, and urged Auntie Tian, ​​"Mom, let's go."

"Okay, let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" Li Chun waited for the two to walk several steps before coming to her senses. She hurriedly chased after them, and asked with a smile as she walked, "Auntie, you said you were going to move to the manor across the river? Is this true? Why are you going to live there? You're not going there to work as a helper, are you? How much money do you pay per month? Do you need help?" Auntie Tian looked at her sideways and said slowly, "My Xiaoyu and his good husband invited me to live there, so of course I can live there! "What? What does this have to do with Xiaoyu and Ji

He ?

"

Li Chun was dumbfounded again and stayed there, then chased after him and said, "Aunt, has Ji He become the manager of that village? He is really capable! He even let you live there, you will enjoy a good life in the future. It must not be for nothing if you live there, you must have work to do, right? How much money is paid per month?" "

Li Chun kept asking questions as if he was obsessed with money. He regretted in his heart that he had not established a good relationship with Ji He in the past. Otherwise, wouldn't his family have benefited from such a good thing?

Aunt Tian was a little unhappy. She wondered why Li Chun looked down on people like that. Why did he always guess that Ji He was a manager? But then she thought again, it was no wonder that she couldn't guess it. No one could have thought that Ji He could earn such a big farm from Mr. Yan. Tsk, this kid is really promising! After all the hardships, there is happiness! By the way, this is not the time to sigh. I have to let Li Chun pass on the message to piss off Ji Dacai's family.

Aunt Tian coughed twice and said, "Mrs. Guo, you guessed wrong again. Let me tell you, the farm across the river now belongs to my two sons-in-law. From now on, the family name of that farm will not be Yan, but Ji. Oh, it's Ji of Ji He, not Ji of Ji Dacai. "

Li Chun was stunned again, thinking, Oh my God, this is really big news! A landlord has appeared in their village! Seeing Aunt Tian's proud look, she hurried over and snatched the two baskets from Aunt Tian's hands, and continued to ask questions in a flattering tone, asking how Ji He got those houses and fields across the river. As they were

talking, they had already reached the riverside. There was already a boat parked on the riverside. There was a dock on the riverside for boats. In fact, it was just wood placed on the big rocks by the river. It was usually used to park boats. That dock There was a man standing under the big tree nearby. It was Zhang Shan. He was talking to a few people. When he saw Aunt Tian and Tian Jinduo coming over, he immediately came over to help Aunt Tian get the things. He smiled and called Aunt Tian "Mrs. Tian" and Tian Jinduo "Master Tian". This address made Li Chun and those people all surprised and envious. People like them never dared to think of being called such noble names.

Zhang Shan insisted that Aunt Tian stay here to watch, and he accompanied Tian Jinduo to get the things.

Aunt Tian smiled and said, "No, you should watch the boat. I have to go home to take a look. Otherwise, I will be worried. "

Auntie Tian and Tian Jinduo walked back.

Li Chun looked at them and then at Zhang Shan, and finally stayed by the river to talk to Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan also knew that he didn't need to hide Ji He's identity anymore, so he told everyone he could when asked questions, and didn't reveal a word of what he couldn't say. As

expected by Auntie Tian, ​​Li Chun went straight home immediately after finding out such big news. Of course, he didn't go home, but went to Ji Dacai's house next door. It

was just past half past noon in the morning, and many people who went to the fields early were coming back to have breakfast. Ji Dacai's family was no exception. Except for Ji Ruishan who went to school, everyone else was at home.

Li Chun excitedly told what she saw and heard, and the people in Ji's family who were sitting suddenly stood up, and those who were standing sat down all of a sudden, all with shocked faces.

Ji Shun laughed and said, "This kind of joke early in the morning is not funny at all."

Li Chun glared and said, "I'm not kidding, this is true! If you don't believe me, go to Tian's house and look at the river! They are moving! I'm not the only one who saw it! Oh, you didn't see it. The housekeeper of the manor across the river called Tian Jinduo "Master Tian" and Aunt Tian "Madam". Ji He is Master Ji! Tsk! He really flew from the ground to the sky in an instant! I'm so envious! Oh, you can rest assured about Ji He from now on. He really has everything he needs now. "

Li Chun was happy in his heart, thinking that Ji Dacai's family was really unlucky. Such a promising son could only be a jinx in their family. Even if he was unlucky for them, even if they broke off the relationship, if they had not been so cruel at the beginning, they might have gotten some benefits. Now he can only watch Ji Dafa's family and Tian Daqiang's family get all the benefits. If it were him, he would have to spit blood.

The Ji family was really depressed, depressed to the point of wanting to spit blood. Finally, they half-chased and half-invited Li Chun out of the house. Feng was so angry that she threw the broom in her hand, almost throwing it on Ji Xiaoshi, scaring her and screaming, turning around and running behind Jin Cuiniang.

Jin Cuiniang endured the discomfort in her heart and advised: "Mom, don't get angry and hurt yourself."

Feng sat down heavily and said: "How can I not be angry? This kid has a promising future and still cares about this family, but he took a family of outsiders to enjoy the good life! It's really an ungrateful person!"

Jin Cuiniang thought that this mother-in-law was so unreasonable. It was obviously this family that drove Ji He out. They broke off the relationship so cleanly and cruelly, and still expected him to make money and come back to honor you. Dream on!

Ji Dacai sighed and said, "Don't be angry. After all, he is our son. If he is doing well, we don't have to worry about him. Alas, is it really our family that is hindering his luck? It has only been a short time since he left, and he is getting better and better. Alas!"

Feng said unhappily, "What are you talking about? How can our family harm him? I think he was harming our family when he was in our house, and he took all our luck away when he left!"

Ji Dacai thought that his wife was too unreasonable, so he didn't argue with her. He just advised, "Say less, have you forgotten what I said to you before? After all, he is our son. I broke off the engagement in a fit of anger, so let's ease the tension now if we can, so that even if I die, I can go to see my mother in the underworld, and she will miss Hezi until her death. You know, my eldest brother and I have been at odds for all these years and he will definitely not forgive me."

Feng said unconvincedly, "What is there to not forgive? They have ruined our son's future! Ji He is her grandson, but the eldest brother Shunzi and others are not?"

Ji Xiao and Ji Shun hurriedly persuaded Feng. They originally thought that if Ji He was doing well and Ji Qing recovered from his illness, they could take advantage of him. Now that they heard that Ji He had gotten such a big advantage, the idea became even stronger.

Ji Xiaoshi blinked and said, "It must be fun across the river. I want to go there!"

Ji Xiaoyu said, "I heard there are many houses there, they must be big houses. Isn't that where Mr. Yan lives? There must be very exquisite furniture, fine porcelain, and silk bedding where Mr. Yan lives? There must also be a big garden full of all kinds of beautiful flowers."

"Didn't you plant a lot of grapes before? I want to eat grapes."

Ji Xiaoxiang thought of food first. In addition to grapes, she also thought of many delicious foods, chicken, duck, fish and meat. There must be everything there!

"A bunch of losers!" Ji Xiuer glared at her three nieces, but she was also yearning for them in her heart, but she didn't say it.

Zhou Guihua listened to them talking to each other, and she didn't say anything. She thought, aren't you all just thinking about getting benefits from Ji He? But it's not that easy. Ji He is no longer the weak and bullied Ji He. Of course, she wouldn't stop them. If they get the benefits, she will get her share. If they don't, they will all be embarrassed! Besides, the Ji family has lost face more than once or twice, so what are they afraid of?

"They are just a bunch of losers!" Feng also glared at her three granddaughters, "No matter how rich he is, he is still a jinx to our family! Don't get close to him, if he brings bad luck, he will be kicked out of the house!"

Ji Xiao and the others looked at Feng, wondering if she still cared about Ji He being a jinx. Could it be that she was not tempted by watching Ji He living a luxurious life? They were tempted!

Jin Cuiniang rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "What mother said is right. We are not so short-sighted. We can't think that he is not a jinx just because he is living well now. We should stay away from him. But after all, he is also our parents' son. How can you not miss him? No matter how harsh mother's words are, we, as children, know what she is thinking. Let's do as father said before. Let's ease the relationship with uncle's family first, and then ask uncle's family to show concern for Ji He. God will definitely not know about it, and then this bad luck will not be able to get over it. Mother, what do you think?"

Feng snorted and nodded slightly. It would be a lie to say that she was not moved when she saw Ji He living well. However, as Ji He was getting better and better, she believed more and more that he and their family were incompatible with each other, and she dared not and was unwilling to get close to him again. The best way was to make Ji Dafa rich and let Ji He give her money.

Ji Xiao and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, and began to think about the farm and fields across the river, thinking about how much silver there must be. The most important thing is that it was obtained from Yan Yuanwai, which shows that Ji He has a very good relationship with Yan Yuanwai, right? And Jiang the landlord can be regarded as the lifesaver of Jiang Shaoye. With these two connections, they don't know how much benefit they can get in the future. Even if they can't make a living in the town, they can live as comfortably as small landlords in the countryside, right? ! Ji Xiuer

was thinking about Ji He's money, and she was thinking that she must strive to be better, must marry better, have a bigger farm than the one across the river, and suppress Ji He! Thinking of this, she felt that she had to go to the county town again tomorrow, maybe she could meet Miss Wang, and she must become friends with her, so that she could meet a good marriage partner.

Ji Dacai didn't know what his family members were thinking. He was just happy, thinking that he could finally reconcile with his eldest brother, and he could care about his son Ji He, which was more comfortable than drinking a glass of old wine!

Tian Daqiang and his family settled down in the farm. After they cleaned up the house, they went to see the grapes. They found that the grapes looked good and showed no signs of dying. They were all very happy and prepared to continue to buy more grapes to plant. When the grapes were ripe, they would do a good business.

At the same time, the landlord Jiang's family was also experiencing a storm.

☆ 84. Chapter 84: Exposing Kang

Chapter 84: Exposing

Kang Jiangping fell into the water, but fortunately he was rescued, but his father Jiang Dizhu was also frightened. Even though the doctor said he was fine, he was still worried. He brought bowls of ginseng and bird's nest to Jiang Ping. If Jiang Ping hadn't said that overdosing would be bad for the body, he would have wanted to feed all of it to his son.

"Dad, actually my eyes can see."

When only Jiang Dizhu and Jiang Ping were left in the room, Jiang Ping looked at his father's tired face and said to him softly.

Jiang Dizhu immediately stood up and rushed to his bedside and asked: "What did you say? Your eyes can see?! What is this?"

Jiang Dizhu stretched out four fingers and shook them in front of Jiang Ping's eyes.

Jiang Ping smiled and said, "Four fingers. Dad, I can see it. I didn't lie to you. How could I lie to you about this?"

Landlord Jiang's eyes suddenly turned red with joy. He hugged Jiang Ping and wanted to pat him on the back twice but was afraid of hurting him. He raised his hand high and lowered it gently, cursing, "You little bastard! Why didn't you tell me earlier that you could see clearly! You can see clearly and still fall into the water. You are so useless!" Seeing that

his father was so excited, Jiang Ping said quickly, "Dad, speak softly. Don't be so excited and talk so loudly. I want to tell you something. If you want to cry or scold, please speak softly, okay?"

"Who is crying? I shed blood and sweat, but not tears. I will not shed tears for a little bastard like you!" Landlord Jiang let go of Jiang Ping abruptly, sat on the edge of the bed, and wiped his eyes angrily. "What are you talking about? Is there something serious that you should keep your voice down?"

Jiang Ping said seriously, "Dad, someone pushed me into the river."

"Who?!" Jiang Landlord stood up suddenly when he heard it, then remembered that he should not speak loudly, so he lowered his voice and asked with his eyes wide open, "Who pushed you in! How dare someone in this family harm you! You don't want to live! Did you see who it was? Tell me, and Dad will definitely deal with that person! How do you want him to die?"

Jiang Ping sighed and said, "Dad, maybe you don't believe me, it was my eldest brother."

Jiang Landlord was stunned on the spot, his face was a little distorted, then he sat down again and said, "Dad believes you, you are my son, I still know what kind of person you are. But this matter is really unbelievable to me, can you tell Dad what the situation was at that time?"

Jiang Ping thought that not only his father didn't want to believe it, he didn't want to either. Although Jiang Kang had a bad character and their brotherly feelings were not very deep, he didn't expect that this eldest brother would do such a cruel thing to him. They are brothers! He wanted to keep it a secret at first, but when he looked at his father, he was worried that Jiang Ping dared to harm his brother, would he harm his father too? He had to make his father be on guard, so he told him.

Jiang Ping told what happened. It turned out that since he took the medicine sent by Ji He, his eyesight slowly began to recover, but in order to give his father a surprise, he only said that he could only see vaguely, and that there was a layer of fog in front of his eyes. This was enough to make Jiang the landlord happy. Jiang Ping planned to always explain his condition slowly, so that he could give his father a surprise when he was completely well. But before he could give the surprise, he was pushed into the lake while he was enjoying the scenery outside. Because he could see with his eyes, he clearly saw that it was his eldest brother Jiang Kang who pushed him. It was so clear that he couldn't even doubt others.

Jiang Ping bit his lip and said, "Dad, why did my elder brother want to harm me? Is it because he is not your son, and I am your only biological son? But you are so good to him, and always treat him as your own son! You also said that our family property will be divided between the two of us in the future. What else can he not be satisfied with!"

Jiang Kang is not Jiang Wanguan's son, but the son of Jiang Wanguan's eldest brother. Before his death, his eldest brother entrusted his son to him, and he would not feel relieved unless Jiang Wanguan raised him as his son. So Jiang Wanguan really raised this child as his son. When he lived in this place, naturally fewer people knew about this. Others thought this was his son. He was very good to Jiang Kang, but people's hearts are biased. Jiang Wanguan really loved his son Jiang Ping more. Jiang Ping was not only his biological son, but also better than Jiang Kang in every way. How could he not be biased?

But even so, Jiang Kang wanted to kill his son. Jiang Wanguan felt uncomfortable with anger.

When Jiang Wanguan heard Jiang Ping's words, he sighed and said, "I was talking to someone a few days ago and heard some noise outside. I guess Jiang Kang was eavesdropping outside. I told you that it would be okay even if you didn't pursue a career in politics. This family business would be enough for you to live a life of ease and comfort. I also said that if you took the imperial examination, several properties in the capital would be enough for you to make ends meet. I also have several old friends in the capital who can help you establish connections. Maybe it was these words that made Jiang Kang malicious. Or maybe he was just not happy about giving you a share of the family business."

Landlord Jiang was not a stupid man, otherwise he would not have been able to earn such a large share of the family business. In addition, he had watched Jiang Kang grow up since he was a child, so he understood his little thoughts. He was really angry, disappointed and sad, wondering why he had raised such an ungrateful person.

Seeing his father sad, Jiang Ping comforted him and said, "Dad, I told you about this. What do you think we should do? Should we pretend not to know or expose him?"

Jiang Ping was soon discovered by the servants after he fell into the water. Jiang Kang happened to come over and jumped into the water to save Jiang Ping. He played the role of a good brother, which moved Jiang Landlord very much. Jiang Kang was lying in bed these days and Jiang Landlord sent him a lot of supplements. He often went to his bedside to care for him. Now

think about it, Jiang Landlord really wants to go to Jiang Kang's bedside and beat him up. This ungrateful wolf not only hurt people but also pretended to save people. He is really scheming!

"Expose him, make it clear to him, and wait for him to get married and separate him. I think he can't say anything."

Jiang Landlord thought about it and decided that it would be better to talk about it. There are only thieves who have been thieves for a thousand years, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand years. Jiang Kang can do this cruel thing. If there is a first time, there may be a second time. He doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want his son to die.

Jiang Kang was lying on the bed, bored. When he saw Jiang the landlord coming, he immediately pretended to be weak, but he was almost shocked by Jiang the landlord's words. He really didn't expect that his brother could see! Naturally, he refused to admit it. He cried and said that Jiang the landlord was partial to Jiang Ping and that Jiang Ping was unwilling to share the family property with him, so he came up with such a self-torture trick.

Jiang Wanguan sighed and said, "Jiang Kang, I know all about your and Ah Ping's personalities. Do you think I don't know that you are pretending to be sick all the time? I know all about your thoughts. I just thought about your biological father and I didn't take it to heart. But this time it won't work. The fortune teller said that it's better for you to get married later, and you should wait until you are 22 years old. Now you are almost that age. I will find you a good marriage, and then you can move out. I won't wrong you. I will give you houses in the town, the county town and the prefecture. You can live wherever you want."

Jiang Kang was not happy to hear that. He got off the bed and knelt in front of Jiang Wanguan, hugged his legs and begged, saying that he would not split up the family. If he was asked to leave, he would jump into the river.

Jiang Wanguan didn't say anything else and left Jiang Kang's room.

Jiang Kang sat on the bed and wiped his tears in hatred, thinking about the damn Jiang Ping. Jiang Kang always wanted to get rid of Jiang Ping. He used to plan to kill Jiang Ping on the way to the exam, so that he could completely exclude himself from the murderer. This time Jiang Ping was injured, he got so excited that he disrupted his plan, and ended up failing.

Jiang Kang hated Jiang Ping to death, thinking that Jiang Ping's eyesight had obviously healed but he still pretended to be blind, which exposed himself! In addition to hating Jiang Ping, he hated Ji He. He had heard before that Jiang Ping's eyesight was difficult to cure, and he was so happy in his heart, thinking that it would be easier for him to do it if Jiang Ping was blind in the future. But since Jiang Ping took the pills sent by Ji He and said that his eyesight had improved, he overheard what Jiang Wanguan said, and was very angry about his obvious favoritism towards Jiang Ping. He was impulsive in a rage and started a fight at home, which ended up in this situation. It was

all Ji He's fault, why did he send that medicine for no reason? !

Jiang Kang thought to himself that if he had the chance, he would definitely deal with Ji He!

"Your eyes are healed, all thanks to the medicine Ji He sent. It's really a panacea! You should continue to take it, take it all, and don't let your body have any aftereffects." Landlord Jiang said to Jiang Ping. Although he thought the pills were good things, he still didn't think of keeping them for himself. "I have to prepare a big gift for Ji He. Although giving gold and silver is very vulgar, it is also the most practical. I plan to give him ten taels of gold, five hundred taels of silver, and a few pieces of cloth. What do you think?"

Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Dad, you can give whatever you want. Anyway, I will often visit Ji He in the future. If the gift this time is not enough, there will be opportunities in the future."

Jiang Ping felt that he could get along well with Ji He. Although Ji He was just a farmer's son, he still planned to become friends with him.

Jiang Wanguan didn't stop him. He had already investigated what kind of person Ji He was. Although he was not in harmony with his family, it was not his fault. Since he left that family, he could be said to have great luck. From his behavior and eyes, he was also a very upright person. If his son wanted to make friends, he should make friends.

Jiang Wanguan prepared the gifts and personally took a carriage to Qingshan Village. He felt that only by going to Qingshan Village in person to express his gratitude could he express his sincerity. However, when he arrived at Qingshan Village, he found out that Ji He actually did not live in this village anymore, but moved to the village across the river. Landlord Jiang was very surprised, thinking that Ji He was really capable to get such a big benefit from Yan Yuanwai! Landlord Jiang took a small boat from Qingshan Village across the river and went to the other side of the river. When

the villagers knew about it, they were even more envious and jealous of Ji He, thinking that this kid's luck was unstoppable!

Zhang Daniu spat out blood when he heard the news.

Ji Dacai's family couldn't sit still. Listening to Jin Cui Niang's talk about how good and valuable the gifts brought by Landlord Jiang were, the adults' eyes were red one by one, and the little girls clamored to wear new clothes. Even the calmest Ji Dacai was tempted.

☆ 85. Chapter 85 Ji Xiuer's plan

Chapter 85 Ji Xiuer's Plan

Jiang Ping's eyesight has recovered. Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu are very happy for him. They think that Jiang Ping is not a person who is too arrogant to come to their house in person to express their gratitude. When they heard that Jiang Ping wanted to be friends with them and visit them often in the future, they did not refuse. The two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Jiang Ping presented a thank-you gift and did not allow Ji He to refuse. He also asked him if he had any other requests.

Ji He's original main plan was to ask Jiang Ping to help solve the annoying people like Zhang Daniu, but now that they have moved out of Qingshan Village and there is a river blocking them from seeing some unpleasant people, Ji He did not mention it again, thinking that if Zhang Daniu or Ji Dacai's family still have evil intentions and come to bother them in the future, it would not be too late to ask Jiang Ping again. Before that, he should keep this favor.

Landlord Jiang returned home and praised Ji He to Jiang Ping. Ji He was Jiang Ping's lifesaver and healed Jiang Ping with medicine. In Jiang's heart, Ji He was already very good. This time he went to the manor that originally belonged to Yan Yuanwai. Maybe because of the different environment, he felt that Ji He actually had some nobleness. He spoke in an orderly manner, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. He felt that he was qualified to be his son's friend.

"Dad, Ji He and his family moved to the other side of the river? Didn't you always want to build a bridge? Why not build it quickly! Otherwise, I have to take a boat to go there all the time, which is so inconvenient." Jiang Ping said.

"Okay, I'll find someone to build a bridge right away!"

Landlord Jiang agreed immediately after hearing this. He had always wanted to build a bridge. He also had land on the other side of the river. He usually took a boat to go there. Because he didn't go there often, he didn't think it was troublesome to take a boat. The idea of ​​building a bridge had always been just turning around in his mind. Now that his son had spoken, he decided to do it immediately. He couldn't let his son take a boat all the time, which was so unsafe.

Jiang Ping said, "It should be built closer to Qingshan Village. Although Ji He has moved there, he must still have relatives and friends in the village. It will be convenient for him to travel when the bridge is built."

Landlord Jiang said with relief, "You are thoughtful, son. You are thinking about Ji He like this. He must be very happy to know it, and it will be helpful to your friendship!"

How could the father and son of the Jiang family know that they were doing something bad with good intentions? Ji He wished that the river would be wider. Apart from Ji Dafa's family, he still cared about him. He didn't miss Qingshan Village at all, and didn't want some people in Qingshan Village to bother him. When he heard Jiang Ping smiling and telling him that it was he who proposed to build the bridge closer to the village, he didn't even want to look at Jiang Ping. He was really afraid that his eyes would turn into knives and fly towards Jiang Ping.

As soon as Ji He moved into his new home, he changed the name of the manor. It was no longer called Biyun Mountain Manor, but Deshui Manor. This name sounded very vulgar, but Ji He was very satisfied. Zhang Xiaoyu didn't say anything but his face was red, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also proved that he liked this name very much.

"Like a fish in water, you are so lucky!" Tian Jinduo bumped Ji He with his shoulder and winked.

"Go to your work!" Ji He saw Zhang Xiaoyu turned away with a red face, smiled at Tian Jinduo, and turned to chase Zhang Xiaoyu.

This name was inspired by the stone pendant in Zhang Xiaoyu's hand. He originally wanted to call it Jiqing Manor, because auspiciousness is abundant, but when he saw the stone fish, he decided on the name Deshui Manor. He hoped that his little husband would be as free and happy as a little fish that never lacks water.

Zhang Xiaoyu listened to Ji He's explanation when he chose the name, and thought to himself that he had always been sad because of his name. In the mouth of the Zhang family, he, Zhang Xiaoyu, was redundant, but now in Ji He's heart, it means something else. Because of Ji He, his life took a turn and went in the opposite direction of the miserable life he had expected. Such happiness and sweetness were like a dream.

Zhang Xiaoyu walked in a vineyard, looked up at the sun in the sky, listened to Ji He's steady footsteps behind him, and wished that he could be happy like this forever.

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu lived happily, and Zhang Dafa felt very irritated, because Ji Dacai's family began to sway in front of him and his family in waves, from adults to children, one by one, all swept away the original plain faces, the corners of their mouths raised, and the words revealed that they were originally a family, which made him frown. "Are you

trying to get along with us again?" Zhang also frowned, she was not happy. Ji Shun made her son sick for these years and almost died, and he turned around and blamed them for ruining Ji Shun's future. How could she be willing to forgive them like this? What did they think they were? Can they hate them if they want to hate them and reconcile if they want to reconcile?

Ji Dafa nodded and sighed, "That's what I mean. What do you think?"

Zhang said, "I don't like it! Don't blame me for not letting you brothers reconcile. I just don't like it. Think about how much our son has suffered. If it weren't for that Ji Shun who harmed Qingzi, Qingzi might have already passed the imperial examination, let alone the imperial examination! Qingzi's teacher said that he has the ability!"

Ji Lan said, "Yeah, Dad, I don't like it either! Why have they made our family suffer so much? As long as they put on a few smiles, we will forgive them? No! If my brother really has a good future in the future, he will be dragged down by them! What kind of people are in that family? A bunch of heartless people! They are not only bad to us, but also to Hezige. How can such people be our relatives? Dad, if you forgive them and let them into our house, I will not eat and starve myself to death!"

"What nonsense!"

Ji Dafa scolded Ji Lan and looked at Ji Qing, wanting to see what he would say.

Ji Lan was not unhappy after being scolded by Ji Dafa. Seeing him looking at Ji Qing, he asked, "Brother, say something. As long as you say something, Dad will definitely ignore them. You must stand firmly on my and Mom's side, and don't think about brotherhood or being a family! Who wants relatives like that? You will only associate with them again if you suffer!"

Ji Qing smiled and looked at him, motioning him not to be anxious, then looked at Ji Dafa and said, "Dad, I don't agree to have anything to do with them anymore. Let's not talk about the grudge between our two families. Just for Ah He, we can't have any more involvement. Dad, didn't they change their attitude after Ah He went to the other side of the river? It's easy to guess what they are thinking. Because they broke off the relationship with Ah He, or because they are still afraid that Ah He will suppress them, they turned to us."

After hearing what he said, the three of them looked at each other, all with unhappy faces, thinking that Ji Dacai's family was really hateful. Did they actually want to use them as guns? !

Zhang asked, "Master, I think so too. Even if we don't do it for ourselves, we have to be careful for Ah He. Ah He has finally lived his current life, and we can't make things difficult for him."

Ji Lan added fuel to the fire and said, "Dad, Hezi is so good to our family, much better than that family. He is also the one that my grandmother couldn't let go of when she was dying. You must think more about him!"

Ji Dafa nodded, his face heavy. He was not a fool. After all these years, although he still had some feelings for Ji Dafa, they were not deep. He didn't think much about getting back together, but just asked his family for their opinions. Now that his family members all disagreed, and mentioned that they were thinking about Ji He, he immediately became more determined and thought that it would be better to break off the marriage completely. After all, he had never let them down over the years, and he had a clear conscience.

Ji Dacai got the exact words from Ji Dafa, saying that he didn't plan to go out again, and also exposed their real intention to use them to get benefits from Ji He. At that time, his old face turned red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to dive into. Looking at Ji Dafa's back as he turned and left, he felt very disappointed, thinking that his elder brother was really angry with him. Even if they didn't go out for these years, he still felt that his elder brother was thinking about him, but today he felt that this elder brother really didn't care about him anymore, and he really lost this elder brother.

The wishful thinking fell through, and Ji Dacai's family was very disappointed. They felt that the silver was flying away like snowflakes in Feng's curse.

Ji Xiuer was also disappointed, but she soon cheered up again, thinking that she still had Wang Jiaoer to go. She told Feng about her idea and begged Feng to take her to the county to find Wang Jiaoer, saying that Wang Jiaoer had a good impression of her. As long as she went to find her, they would often come and go. At that time, it would not only help her marriage, but also maybe she could ask for some benefits for her two brothers at home through Wang Jiaoer, such as introducing a job or something. With the relationship of the Wang family, wouldn't it be easy?

Ji Xiuer took out the bracelet that Wang Jiaoer gave her, saying that Wang Jiaoer was a person who was easy to coax, and she would be very generous as long as she was coaxed.

Feng thought that this was the truth. She thought that it was better to rely on her precious daughter than to rely on that jinx to live a good life, so she told Ji Shun to let him take Ji Xiuer to the county. The reason for finding Ji Shun was that she felt that Ji Shun had been educated after all, and would not embarrass Ji Xiuer.

Ji Xiao was very unconvinced, thinking that he was the eldest, but Feng glared at him and said that he could not bear the responsibility if he caused trouble. He was really afraid that he would really mess up, so he could only sulk in his room. When Zhou Guihua once again mentioned that when she met Miss Wang Er, she was the one who picked up the gold hairpin but was taken by Ji Xiuer to perform, he became even angrier, thinking that his mother was too partial and his small family suffered.

Zhou Guihua advised him a few more words, asking him to stop making trouble and wait and see what would happen.

Zhou Guihua saw Ji Xiao lying on the kang sulking, but he listened to her and did not make trouble. She thought that it was better for him to be angry, and it would be better if he had a gap with his parents and brothers and sisters, so that he would listen to her and think about them. Even if they could not divide the family, they would have to make more money in the future.

Ji Xiuer went to the county town with Ji Shun with full of hope, carrying the hope of Ji Dacai's family.

☆ 86. Chapter 86: Peace of Mind

Chapter 86: Calming Down the Heart

It was a hot summer day. Although it was still morning, the weather had already gotten hot. Ji Qiao hurriedly followed Jian Hu. She wanted to maintain her graceful walking posture and run ahead of Jian Hu. She was so anxious that she was sweating all over her face. Her face, which had been trying to keep a smile, became uglier and uglier. Finally, she couldn't help but yell.

"Brother Huzi! Can't you walk slower? My feet are small and I can't keep up with you!"

Zhang Lan, who was trotting behind Ji Qiao, couldn't help but roll her eyes. She thought to herself that your feet are not small. You have the nerve to say that. You are so shameless. Besides, Jian Hu didn't want you to follow him at all, but you insisted on following him. Who can you blame for your own trouble? Don't really plan to go into the mountains. He won't be happy. Not to mention the pain in his legs and feet from climbing the mountain, he can't stand the bugs. He doesn't want to be covered with bugs.

"Brother Huzi, please walk slower. Ah Qiao really can't keep up." Zhang Lan also said.

Jian Hu stopped and turned around, saying helplessly: "I told you not to follow me a long time ago. Who can you blame if you don't listen? I'm going into the mountains to hunt. How can I take you two Shuang'er with me? Go back and I'll pick some fruits for you to eat."

Ji Qiao shook her head and said, "No! Brother Huzi, I want to go with you. Even if a big tiger appears, I'm not afraid. I know Brother Huzi will protect me!"

Jian Hu looked at Ji Qiao looking at him affectionately, and felt troubled. He didn't like Ji Qiao at all. If it wasn't for Ji Jun's face, he would have told him directly, no matter how uncomfortable he was!

"I can't take care of the two of you. You'd better go back. I really have to go. If you fall down again, don't blame me."

Jian Hu turned around and left again. Ji

Qiao stomped her feet, turned to Zhang Lan and said, "You go back! I'm following Brother Huzi alone, and he will definitely not leave me alone. Go!"

Zhang Lan was a little embarrassed, but she turned around and left under Ji Qiao's stare, thinking that it would be best if she didn't follow him, and he felt relieved.

Ji Qiao chased Jian Hu again, shouting as she chased him.

"You're so stupid. You're chasing him even though you know he doesn't like you." Zhang Lan snorted contemptuously as she listened to Ji Qiao's voice getting farther and farther away. Zhang Lan thought

that if she were Zhang Lan, she wouldn't cling to Jian Hu. With a brother like Ji Jun, she would definitely find a man who is better and more attentive to her than Jian Hu. Unfortunately, she is not Ji Qiao. She really doesn't know what kind of man she will find in the future. Her cousin is actually the most suitable person, but he and his family don't like her. She can only think about whether she can find a man who is more suitable for her, but how can she find one that is so easy? Zhang Xiaoyu is lucky to find a good man like Ji He. It would be great if she could find a man who is young, rich and good to her.

Zhang Lan looked across the river, her eyes full of envy and jealousy.

"Huh? That young master Jiang is in the village again."

Zhang Lan saw a few people in front of her. The first person she saw was a young man in a blue robe. The reason she saw that man first was because he was dressed the best. His satin clothes were very eye-catching in the sun. He recognized the man as Young Master Jiang Ping. Ever since Young Master Jiang got into trouble in their village a few days ago, he became a celebrity. After his injury healed, he often came to Qingshan Village and always went to Ji Dafa's house. It was said that he wanted to discuss academic matters with Ji Qing. There were always some people who went to Ji Dafa's house to chat. When Young Master Jiang was there, they wanted to talk to him, and when he was not there, they tried to make friends with the Ji family.

Seeing Jiang Ping smiling and talking to Ji Qing and Ji Lan, Zhang Lan thought to herself how good it would be if she had saved this young master. Maybe she would be the one walking with Jiang Ping now. It is said that Jiang Ping has a good temper and Master Jiang is also a grateful person. If she works hard, she might be able to enter the Jiang family.

Jiang Ping and Ji Qing planned to take a boat to Ji He's place together. As they were walking, they heard a cry not far away. He turned around and saw a person sitting on the ground not far away.

Jiang Ping said, "What's wrong with that man? Jiang Wang, go and take a look."

"Yes, young master!"

A boy of about eleven or twelve years old behind Jiang Ping immediately ran over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you sprain your foot?"

Zhang Lan nodded, wondering why such a servant came over, but he still pretended to be in pain and said, "Little brother, can you ask the people who came with you to help me? I can't walk."

Jiang Wang blinked, turned around and ran back to tell Jiang Ping.

When Jiang Ping heard that he had to help, he couldn't just stand by and watch, especially since Ji Qing, whom he admired very much, was watching next to him. He couldn't just ignore it and immediately said to Ji Qing: "Brother Ji Qing, let's give a hand. It won't be too late to look for Ah He after we're done."

Ji Qing looked at Zhang Lan not far away, smiled faintly, and said to Ji Lan: "Ah Lan, you and Jiang Wang stay and help. Jiang Ping and I will go first."

Jiang Ping said: "Brother Ji Qing, why leave Ah Lan, Shuang'er alone, and Jiang Wang, a child, to help? How can they have any strength? Let's go."

Ji Qing was about to speak when Ji Lan spoke first. He looked at Jiang Ping and said: "What can you do to help? That's a Shuang'er. Can you help carry her or support her?"

"Ah? That's a Shuang'er?" Jiang Ping looked carefully at Zhang Lan again, only to find that it was indeed a Shuang'er. He also understood why Ji Qing didn't go over himself and didn't let him go over. They really couldn't help much. "Then we won't go over. But Alan, can you help him? Jiang Wang is not young anymore, so let's ask someone to come over. If the foot is sprained, it will hurt more if you don't help properly."

Ji Lan glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "Do you think I can't help?"

Ji Lan's eyes are very beautiful. When he is not convinced, his chin will be slightly raised, his face will be tilted, the corners of his eyes will be slightly raised, but the corners of his mouth will be pursed down. He looks a little cute, at least in Jiang Ping's eyes. He shook his head hurriedly, and only reacted after shaking. He thought that Ji Lan looked thin. If that person sprained his foot, he must be all on him. How tired he must be. Can he really help?

Ji Lan pouted and said, "I'll go and see, maybe I don't need to help!"

Zhang Lan waited for a while and finally Ji Lan came over. He was disappointed, thinking why this fierce guy came over, he didn't want him to come over!

Ji Lan squatted down, put his hand on Zhang Lan's leg, and said to Zhang Lan: "Hey, Zhang Lan, did you really sprain your ankle? Or are you acting because you saw us coming?"

Zhang Lan's heart tightened, thinking that Ji Lan was really smart and guessed it at once. But at this point, he had to pretend and said: "Ji Lan, what are you talking about? Of course I really sprained my ankle. If you are so cruel and don't want to care, just leave. I can only wait for others to help me or walk back slowly. This little brother, can you help me, or call my family for me, thank you." Jiang Wang

looked at Ji Lan.

Ji Lan said with a stern face: "Which foot did you sprain? Let me see it for you."

Zhang Lan naturally would not let him see it, and only asked Jiang Wang.

When Ji Lan saw him like this, he knew that he was indeed pretending, and said: "Zhang Lan, I know you are pretending. If you don't stand up now, believe it or not, I will really make you unable to walk! You know I am very strong." As he said that, he put his hand on Zhang Lan's ankle and used some force.

"One, two, three!"

Just after counting to three, Zhang Lan said, "Okay, I'll get up!"

Zhang Lan said reluctantly. He knew Ji Lan was very strong. He believed that Ji Lan really dared to attack him. If he was injured by him, he would just have to suffer in silence. It was not worth it. After saying this, he stood up and walked away from Ji Lan. He was extremely disappointed that he had lost this opportunity to meet Jiang Ping. He estimated that his image in Jiang Ping's heart would be very bad after this.

Jiang Wang's eyes widened and he shouted at Jiang Ping: "Master, this guy's foot is not sprained at all! Look, he stood up by himself!"

Zhang Lan's face turned red all of a sudden, feeling ashamed and angry.

Jiang Ping was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on and shook his head.

Ji Lan walked up to them, raised his chin to Jiang Ping and said: "Did you see that? I said you might not need my help. You should be more discerning in the future. It's okay before marriage, but if you encounter such a thing after marriage, let's see how you will end up! If your future wife is not as fierce as me, she will definitely not be able to deal with your bad peach blossoms!"

Ji Qing coughed, thinking that what Ji Lan said was not quite right.

Ji Lan also realized that what he said was not quite right, and his face turned red, but he still said stubbornly: "I didn't say anything wrong." After that, he glared at Jiang Ping, thinking that it was all his fault, otherwise how could he be embarrassed in front of his brother!

Jiang Ping looked at Ji Lan's red face, and was glared at by his bright and fierce eyes. Suddenly, he felt his heart began to beat faster. He wondered what was wrong with him.

Wang Wang looked at the young master's flushed face and said worriedly: "Young master, are you not feeling well? Your face is red. Why don't we go home and let the doctor take a look!"

Jiang Ping said: "I'm fine! Let's go take the boat!"

Jiang Wang was very worried and chased after him to persuade him.

Ji Lan thought of Jiang Ping's red face and asked Ji Qing: "Brother, is Jiang Ping angry? I just glared at him just now. If I said something embarrassing, it would be me who is embarrassed. Why is he so angry?"

Ji Qing couldn't help but smile and touched Ji Lan's hair. He thought about his younger brother. He really didn't know if he was smart or simple. He looked at Jiang Ping's back in front of him and frowned slightly. He thought that Jiang Ping was a good person. If he was looking for a son-in-law for A Lan, it would not be bad to find someone like him. But Jiang Wanguan valued this son so much, would he let his son marry a son-in-law? Besides, his family background was really ordinary. If his younger brother didn't like Jiang Ping, it would be fine. If he did, he would really succeed in the examination and become a scholar next year!

Ji Lan didn't know that he made Ji Qing think so much. He just looked at Jiang Ping in front of him and wondered why he was angry. He was so good-tempered before.

Zhang Lan watched them walk away and bit her lip. She thought, what a good goal, but she lost it just like that. She was really unwilling to accept it. Just as he was sighing, he heard Ji Qiao's shouting. He turned around and saw Ji Qiao walking towards him angrily. He walked over and asked him why he came back.

Ji Qiao said angrily: "I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Brother Hu Zi left me behind again! You come with me to find him! I must find him!"

Zhang Lan persuaded him, saying that Jian Hu had gone into the mountains, so how could he be found? Don't get bitten by insects again, that would be ugly.

Ji Qiao was persuaded to give up half of his thoughts, but he still said that he would wait for Jian Hu at the foot of the mountain and asked Zhang Lan to wait with him.

Zhang Lan had no choice but to follow Ji Qiao. One of them was scolding Jian Hu angrily in front, and the other was sighing behind that she missed an opportunity to meet a rich young master.

In summer, the grass and trees are abundant and fresh. In the morning, many people are collecting firewood or cutting grass at the foot of the mountain. There are no big wild animals here, so Ji Qiao and Zhang Lan walked back and forth along the foot of the mountain. Zhang Lan thought that she would wait a while before persuading Ji Qiao. Ji Qiao would go home when he was tired. She knew his delicate personality best.

But before Zhang Lan could persuade him, they found Jian Hu.

Ji Qiao was not happy. Her eyes were about to pop out and she ran over aggressively.

Zhang Lan hurriedly chased after him.

Jian Hu was not alone. There were two other people. Both of them were girls. One was dressed normally and led two horses in her hands. The other was very unusual. She had a golden glow on her head, a long red coat on her upper body, a pink skirt on her lower body, and a pair of pink shoes embroidered with red flowers made of the same silk on her feet. It was obvious that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, but this was not the most eye-catching thing. The most eye-catching thing was that she was being held by Jian Hu at this time!

If Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu were here at this time, they would be able to recognize that the two girls were none other than Xiaohong and her unruly master Wang Jiaoer, whom they had met in the gold shop.

☆ 87. Chapter 87 The Second Rescue

Chapter 87 Rescue for the Second Time

Wang Jiaoer was reprimanded by her father and locked up for a while because she made a fool of herself in Four Seasons Building. She was only recently freed. Ji Xiuer was lucky because she went to Wang Jiaoer's house just when she was freed. Miss Wang was bored and going crazy, so she was very happy to have someone to cheer her up. So Ji Xiuer met Wang Jiaoer smoothly and got a pretty good reward.

Ji Xiuer was also a spoiled little girl at home and was a little spoiled, but in order to curry favor with Wang Jiaoer, she lowered her attitude and did whatever she could to please Wang Jiaoer, which made Wang Jiaoer very happy.

One day, Wang Jiaoer felt bored in the morning and suddenly wanted to find Ji Xiuer to play with her. She didn't take a carriage, but asked someone to lead two horses and went out with Xiaohong.

Wang Jiaoer was a stubborn person. She had learned horse riding and was quite good at it. Xiaohong barely managed to avoid falling off. The two of them arrived at Qingshan Village safely. Seeing Qingshan from a distance, Wang Jiaoer did not go directly to find Ji Xiuer, but took Xiaohong to the foot of the mountain first. As a result, she was unlucky and encountered a wild boar running down the mountain. The horse was startled and Wang Jiaoer fell off the horse. Not to mention the injuries, she was almost trampled to death by the horse.

Jian Hu happened to pass by. He was strong and pulled the horse back, preventing Wang Jiaoer from dying under the horse's hooves.

Wang Jiaoer's legs hurt a lot from the fall, and the makeup on her face was all smudged from crying. She pulled Jian Hu to ask him to take her to see a doctor because she was thrown off the horse and almost trampled to death by the horse just now. She refused to sit on the horse again. Jian Hu could only pick her up and let Wang Jiaoer scold him without letting go.

"Go ahead and curse me. I'll put you down when I find a doctor. It's better to be cursed by you than to have your leg become lame because your injury is not treated in time. It's a pity for such a beautiful woman to become lame."

Jian Hu said that in fact, he didn't think Wang Jiao'er was beautiful at all. He thought she was noisy and wanted to throw her to the ground. But thinking of her identity, Jian Hu hugged her even tighter. He missed the chance last time, and he couldn't miss this chance again! Jian Hu looked at the mountain in front of him with a more determined look. He didn't want to spend all his energy hunting in the mountains. He didn't want to be a village hunter all his life!

Wang Jiao'er was a little angry when she was hugged by a man, but she was not particularly angry. After all, this man saved her, and it was the second time he saved her. The first time she didn't see clearly how he saved her, but this time she saw it clearly and thought that this man was really manly, so handsome and majestic! Thinking of this, she was a little shy when she was hugged, and shouting twice was just an instinctive reaction. Now that Jian Hu praised her as a beauty, Wang Jiao'er's face, which was slightly flushed, suddenly became redder, as red as the color of the clothes she was wearing.

"You! Wait until I get better and see how I'll settle accounts with you!"

Wang Jiao'er said, snorting, but her voice was no longer angry and she stopped moving.

Wang Jiao'er looked at Jian Hu's face, and the more she looked at him, the more she thought this man was good-looking. She wondered why she didn't think he was good-looking last time? And his physique was not bad either, and it seemed that he didn't have to work hard to hold her.

Jian Hu felt that Wang Jiao'er was looking at him, lowered his head and looked at her and said softly: "Does it hurt a lot? Don't be afraid, I'll walk faster, and we'll be in the village soon, and we'll find a doctor right away."

Wang Jiao'er nodded, thinking that this man was quite gentle, and it seemed that he was also intoxicated by her beauty.

Xiaohong followed behind, leading two horses nervously, frowning as she watched Jian Hu holding her daughter. She wanted to say something but couldn't speak, because she didn't want to be slapped again.

They came so hurriedly and happened to run into Ji Qiao and Zhang Lan. Seeing Ji Qiao running over with a look of rage on his face, Jian Hu frowned, wondering why he hadn't gone home yet, and he must not ruin his business!

Ji Qiao bit her lower lip and yelled in grievance: "Brother Huzi! What's going on?! Why are you hugging a woman? Put her down! What a mess! Hey! How can you be so shameless? Get off my brother Huzi! Otherwise, I will break your legs!"

Wang Jiaoer's eyebrows immediately raised when she heard it, thinking who was looking for death and dared to talk to her like that and break her legs? Her legs were already hurting, and she got even angrier when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Ji Qiao. As soon as she saw Ji Qiao, she said sarcastically: "Oh, it turns out to be Shuang'er, no wonder she is so rude! You, Shuang'er, are worthy of a man like Jian Hu? Dream on! And do you know who this lady is? Dare to scold me, believe it or not, I will let my father find someone to deal with your family!"

Wang Jiaoer was very skilled in threatening people, and she had no pressure at all when facing a small villager in Qingshan Village.

As soon as Ji Qiao saw Wang Jiao'er's face clearly, he was like a fish out of water, his mouth opened and closed, unable to speak. He recognized Wang Jiao'er, and was shocked and scared. Why did this female demon come here? And she was hugging her brother Hu Zi!

Jian Hu said, "Ji Qiao, this is the daughter of Wang Zhubo's family in the county. She is injured. Don't make trouble. Get out of the way."

Ji Qiao reluctantly made way and watched Jian Hu carry the person past him.

"You are sensible!"

Wang Jiao'er tilted her head back and smiled triumphantly at Ji Qiao. Seeing Ji Qiao's distorted features, she laughed even louder.

When Zhang Lan heard that it was Wang Zhubo's daughter, he immediately knew that Ji Qiao had kicked the iron plate. He was a little panicked and a little happy. He was panicked because he was afraid of causing trouble for his family and then implicated himself. He was happy because this Miss Wang seemed to be special to Jian Hu. Is Ji Qiao out of the game? Serves him right! He deserves it for always being so arrogant!

Wang Jiaoer was brought to Doctor Hua's house. Doctor Hua immediately treated her when he saw that she was Wang Zhubo's daughter. He found that her leg bone was broken. Although he wanted to set Wang Jiaoer's bones, Wang Jiaoer was not willing to do so. She really didn't trust this country doctor. She insisted that he only gave her some pills and ointments to use first, and then asked Jian Hu to borrow a car to take her to the town to find a doctor to set her bones. Maybe it was because Jian Hu saved her twice, or maybe it was because she suddenly found that Jian Hu was very reliable, Wang Jiaoer now felt more at ease to have Jian Hu around. She thought that she only gave some silver to Jian Hu when he saved her last time, and this time she must repay him well.

Jian Hu saved Wang Zhubo's daughter and carried her back all the way. Many people saw it. In a lunch time, many people knew everything.

Let's not talk about how Ji Qiao cried after returning home, just say that Ji Xiuer almost tore a handkerchief.

Ji Xiuer cursed angrily: "This idiot! Why didn't you come to me first when you came to our village! Why go to the foot of the mountain for no reason? Are you afraid of not meeting a man? Now, she's hugged by Jian Hu again! You're not allowed to marry a country man! She deserves to be so unlucky. She could have come to me even if she was injured. We have so many family members, are you afraid that we can't send her?"

Feng also nodded and said: "That's right! That's right! Miss Wang is really looking for trouble! But it's a pity, she must have come to play with you, but you missed it. If something happened this time, you don't know if she will come again in the future. Xiuer, it seems that you have to go to see her in the future."

Ji Xiuer thought that this was the only way. Ji Xiao and Ji

Shun felt sorry in their hearts why they didn't save Miss Wang, otherwise the benefit would fall on them. Now it seems that Jian Hu is really lucky.

Ji Qing and others returned home, sent Jiang Ping away, and then heard Zhang say the news.

Ji Lan pouted and said, "That annoying Jian Hu, if that wasn't Wang Zhubo's daughter, he wouldn't have carried her in front of so many people, and he wouldn't have left such a handle. I think he wants to climb up the social ladder, right?!"

Zhang nodded and said, "That's right, it's probably the case. This kid is very proud, but he doesn't know who he can mess with and who he can't mess with. I heard that Wang Zhubo's daughter is not a good girl, so powerful! If she really becomes one, the family will definitely not have peace in the future."

Ji Lan clapped her hands and said, "It would be better if they beat him to death! Jian Hu and Wang Zhubo are not good people. If any of them are injured or killed, it is retribution. Brother, don't you think so?"

Ji Qing smiled and touched Ji Lan's head.

Zhang shook her head and thought about her little Shuang'er. What kind of temper would she have? She didn't know what kind of family she would marry in the future. She thought about it again and again, and still felt that Tian Jinduo was good. In the past, she really couldn't get the idea of ​​​​Tian Jinduo. After all, he was the only son, and he was counting on him to continue the family line. No matter how good her Ji Lan was, she was still a Shuang'er. She was really unsure about giving birth to a child. She couldn't ignore him for her own family. But now that Tian Jinduo had that incident, the Tian family said that no matter whether it was a girl or a Shuang'er, as long as the person was good, it would be fine. Then, would it be possible for her Ji Lan to be married to the Tian family? If so, Ah Lan would definitely not be wronged.

Ji Lan didn't know that her brother and mother had thought a lot about her marriage in one day. He was still happy that Jian Hu would marry a tigress in the future.

The next day, Ji Lan went to the other side of the river and told Ji He about this. Ji He smiled. He had the same idea as Zhang. If the two really got together, unless Jian Hu could endure it for a lifetime, they would really become a pair of resentful couples.

Ji He thought that Jian Hu might really marry that tigress, and he was very happy. He thought that he was sorry for Zhang Xiaoyu, and marrying Wang Jiaoer was a punishment for him. When he was happy, he thought about taking Zhang Xiaoyu to the town to buy some things. It was very hot in summer now. They hadn't been to the town for a long time. They asked Zhang Shan to buy things. They had been in the farm and were so happy that they didn't want to leave.

There were cows and horses in the farm now. Ji He asked Zhang Xiaoyu to sit in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and he sat in the front to drive the carriage. They

arrived in the town soon and went to Yan's house first. Except for inviting Yan Yuan to have a meal after moving, they didn't meet again. Ji He brought a hare, a pheasant and two fish. Yan Yuanwai was very happy, and chatted with them for a while, and asked Ji He to go see his peonies, and then let Ji He and the others go.

After Ji He and the others bought something, they passed by the Four Seasons Restaurant and saw Shopkeeper Bai, who came out of the restaurant with an angry face and swung his sleeves.

☆ 88. Chapter 88 Ji Xiuer is engaged

Chapter 88 Ji Xiuer is engaged

"Uncle Bai, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Ji He had a good impression of Shopkeeper Bai. Seeing him walking towards him like this, he naturally couldn't ignore it, so he asked.

When Shopkeeper Bai saw that it was Ji He, his face was a little embarrassed. He adjusted his expression and sighed, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say. Are you two coming to the city to buy things? Your life is getting better and better. Live a good life. You are still young and will get better and better in the future."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bai, for your good words."

Ji He saw that Shopkeeper Bai was still frowning, thinking that he was really angry just now, and he was quite angry. He was really curious about how Shopkeeper Bai, who always greeted people with a smile, could be so angry. However, he had already asked just now, and Shopkeeper Bai didn't say anything, so he didn't continue to ask. He just said something else and then left.

Shopkeeper Bai waited for Ji He and the others to leave, sighed again, looked at the restaurant behind him, and shook his sleeves and went back.

The weather this year is hotter than in previous years. When it is hottest, even the most hardworking old farmers will not go to work in the fields, for fear of getting sunburned and having to spend money on medicine. They work in the morning and evening when it is not too hot. People in the village like to stay by the river. It is always cooler near the water. There are many big willow trees there. Time flies by sitting under the rocks and chatting.

"Er Gouzi! Don't swim to the middle of the river! Aren't you afraid of drowning?"

"Xiao Pang, look at your silly doggy paddling, why don't you get up!"

"You damn kid, you dare to dive into the water! You can't catch a fish for me even if you dive again!"

...

In the village near the water, children naturally love to play in the water. Adults usually watch them more strictly and don't let them play in the water, for fear that the children they have raised with great difficulty will drown again. But now it is so hot, and there are many adults watching nearby, so they let a group of children go into the water to play.

"Alas, there is only one river, and we cannot see how well the people on the other side of the river are doing now." Li Chun sighed, weaving straw sandals in his hands, looking at the other side of the river, feeling sour in his heart.

"Didn't the landlord Jiang build a bridge? If you want to go over, just walk over. I'm afraid you can't even get through the door." A woman next to him laughed.

Jiang Wanguan still had people build a bridge. For various reasons, a wooden bridge was built not far from Qingshan Village. Because of this bridge, people on both sides of the river benefited. At least it was much easier for the wives in the village to go back to their parents' home. But there were not many people who went to the other side of the river to find Ji He. Ji He had never been too close to others in the village except for a few fixed friends. What reason was there to find Ji He? Just because he got rich, would he go over there? Isn't that flattery? Not all the villagers were shameless. At most, they would say a few words to Ji He when they saw him to leave a good impression, and they would not go to his house to be annoying.

Li Chun glared at her and said, "I can always get in if I want to!"

The woman immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you can always get in if you say something nice, which is better than some people who can't get in even if they talk their mouths off." After that, he looked at Ji Dacai who was sitting under a tree not far away.

Li Chun said to her, "Just laugh at it in your heart, don't say it out loud. Don't blame me for not reminding you, the little girl of the Ji family may have a bright future."

"What's going on? Come out and listen!" The woman immediately leaned over to ask.

Li Chun was not a tight-lipped person, and immediately whispered about the acquaintance between Ji Xiu'er and Wang Jiao'er. This was also what she had inquired about from Ji Dacai's family. She always said in front of Ji Dacai's family how good Ji He's life was. Ji Dacai's family naturally felt uncomfortable and wanted to show off. She knew that Ji Xiu'er knew Wang Jiao'er.

"We just know each other, can you make a fortune?"

"Even if you can't make a fortune, maybe you can make a man with a fortune. You can meet whoever you are with. If you are with a rich and powerful lady, how can you not meet a rich and powerful young master? Who knows, Ji Xiu'er might be favored by someone." Li Chun thought, she knew how much Ji Xiu'er wanted to marry a rich man, that girl was so wild! "

A country girl, even if she is favored, she can only be a concubine at most."

"That's hard to say, anyone with means can be a wife, even if Ji Xiu'er doesn't have means, isn't there Miss Wang?"

Li Chun said, and she felt sour again, wondering why she didn't marry a rich lady in the first place?

Not long after Li Chun finished speaking, it came true, Ji Xiu'er was really going to marry a rich man.

The person Ji Xiu'er was going to marry was Jiang Kang, not as a concubine, but as a proper wife.

When the betrothal gifts from the Jiang family were delivered, everyone in the village was shocked. They never expected that Ji Xiuer would marry into the Jiang family. After the shock, they kept congratulating each other. Ji Dacai's house was bustling with people, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Ji Lan now likes to go to Deshui Village because it is cool and has beautiful scenery. There are lotus ponds, bamboo forests, and patches of green grapes. When he goes there, he naturally brings interesting things in the village. Today, he brings Ji Xiuer's marriage. He is very clever and describes the situation and people's reactions and discussions clearly, making everyone laugh several times in the middle.

"What's so funny? It's obviously a very tragic thing. The eldest son of the Jiang family is a sickly person. Even if Ji Xiuer eats well and wears good clothes when she marries, it can't change the possibility that she will become a widow at any time. She always runs to the county town, and runs around and runs out of such a marriage. It's really useless."

Ji Lan was very disdainful.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.

Ji He wondered if there was any mistake behind this marriage. If there was, even if Jiang Kang was in good health, Ji Xiuer's life would not be easy. Jiang Kang was not a good person, but he was a good match for Ji Xiuer.

Ji He wondered if the Ji family was happier or sadder now.

☆ 89. Chapter 89: Dry Kiss

Chapter 89: The marriage

Ji Dacai's family is now both happy and worried. They are happy that Ji Xiu'er has found a good marriage, but they are worried that this marriage is good, but not so stable. The instability is in the health of the good son-in-law. Jiang Kang, the eldest son of the Jiang family, is a well-known sickly person. What if Ji Xiu'er becomes a widow not long after marrying? For this reason, Ji Dacai and Feng's couple are worried about their daughter from the bottom of their hearts, but what can they do since the marriage has been decided? They can only pray to God and pray that Jiang Kang will live a hundred years.

Ji Xiu'er is not only worried, but also angry, because this marriage is not what she wants. Others guess that Jiang Kang is willing to marry her for two reasons. One is that Jiang Kang likes her and asks for her to marry him regardless of her family being just an ordinary farmer, and the other is that she likes Jiang Kang and uses means to force Jiang Kang to marry her. In fact, this is not the case at all. The two of them have no improper thoughts about each other. It was an accident that forced them to get married.

Ever since Ji Xiuer and Wang Jiaoer became friends, she often went to play with her. That time when Wang Jiaoer came to Qingshan Village, she didn't come to see her first, but went to the foot of the mountain by herself, got injured and died directly. Ji Xiuer hurried to see her, and cried in front of Wang Jiaoer's legs, very sad. The friendship between the two quickly warmed up during Wang Jiaoer's injury. Because she could make Wang Jiaoer happy, she became a frequent visitor to the Wang family. Later, Wang Jiaoer even let her stay for a few days.

Just when Ji Xiuer was familiar with the Wang family and planned to use the Wang family as a stepping stone to find a good marriage, after a drink, she accidentally lay on the same bed with Jiang Kang, and was seen by many people. At that time, Jiang Kang entered the room where she rested, so Jiang Kang was naturally in the wrong. The Wang family made the decision for her and insisted that Jiang Kang marry her. What could she do? She could only obey.

"Damn it!"

Ji Xiu'er threw the pillow in her hand fiercely. Although Jiang Kang was young and not ugly, and his family was rich, and although it was said that he was in poor health, she didn't see that. It seemed that Jiang Kang was in good health, but she still felt uncomfortable. Even if she had thought of many embarrassing ways to flirt with the person she liked, she had never thought that it would be such an embarrassing way.

Jin Cui Niang just lifted the curtain and came in. She put the tea bowl in her hand on the edge of the kang, then picked up the pillow on the ground, patted the dirt and put it on the kang, and said with a smile: "Oh, sister, what are you angry about? You are going to be a bride soon, and you still have to marry into the Jiang family. You should be happy, so that when you go out, you will be like a flower and fascinate the groom. Come, have a cup of tea, it's freshly brewed, it smells good!"

Jin Cui Niang brought the tea bowl to Ji Xiu'er and said, "Drink it quickly, you see, your sister-in-law has offered you tea with both hands."

Ji Xiu'er took it and drank it slowly.

Jin Cui Niang said: "Xiu'er, you have to be happy. You will be free from poverty and enjoy a good life. You don't have to work every day. You can order servants around, eat delicious food, wear good clothes and drive a good car. What else can you not be satisfied with? Our family will depend on you in the future. Don't you know how many people envy our family for having such a promising girl like you? Their eyes are red, but what's the use of envy? Who made their family not have a pretty girl like our Xiu'er, right?"

Ji Xiu'er finally smiled when she heard what Jin Cui Niang said. She just wanted people to look up to her.

"By the way, second sister-in-law, is there any reaction from my uncle's family?"

Ji Xiu'er felt angry when she thought that her uncle's family was unwilling to get along with them again. She wondered if they would regret it now that they saw that she had married well.

Jin Cui Niang smiled and said, "I think their family must be envious of our family now, but you also know that the whole family is stubborn. Speaking of which, the second young master of the Jiang family, the eldest uncle, and Ji He are very diligent now. When you marry into the Jiang family in the future, maybe your brother-in-law can persuade them to come back. If they are still unwilling to come back and make you angry again, you can blow pillow wind and let the eldest young master Jiang encourage his brothers and Ji He to break up! And Yan Yuanwai and others must value the Jiang family more than Ji He. When the time comes, without the support of the Jiang and Yan families, what does it matter if Ji He has a farm? The gold and silver that slips through your fingers is more than what he earns in a year!"

Jin Cui Niang probably understood the concerns of her sister-in-law, so every word touched her heart.

The smile on Ji Xiu'er's face became more and more intense.

"Second sister-in-law, you are getting better and better at talking."

"What can I say? I'll just tell the truth! The one who can talk is your second brother, he can even read and write!" Jin Cui Niang said with a smile, "Xiu'er, after you get married, you must remember your second brother, he has loved you since you were a child, can you bear to let him farm for the rest of his life? It would be good if you could let him do something serious, then your family will be promising, your husband's family will look up to you, and we can support you, right?"

Jin Cui Niang looked at Ji Xiu'er with burning eyes.

Ji Xiu'er didn't think there was anything wrong with what Jin Cui Niang said, she thought it was quite right, and she had long thought that if she married well, her family would also live well, so that her family would love her more and support her more.

Ji Xiuer thought for a while and said, "Let's not ask the Jiang family for arrangements first, lest they look down on me. Let's ask my adoptive father first! He must have an idea."

Jin Cui Niang was stunned and asked, "Adoptive father? Xiuer, when did you recognize your adoptive father? Who is it?"

Ji Xiuer said, "I haven't told you yet. I recognized Wang Zhubo as my adoptive father. His daughter and I get along well. After we became sisters, it's natural for me to recognize him as my adoptive father."

In fact, no matter how good Ji Xiuer and Wang Jiaoer get along, Wang Jiaoer will not recognize her as a sister, let alone let her father recognize this adopted daughter. This is the adoptive father that Ji Xiuer rushed to recognize. She cried and said that she was just the daughter of a country family. Although Wang Zhubo decided to marry Jiang Kang, she was afraid that Jiang Kang would look down on her, so she had to borrow Wang Zhubo's reputation. She said that she would definitely be filial to Wang Zhubo in the future, implying that she would bring benefits to the Wang family and would not cause trouble for the Wang family. Finally, she got Wang Zhubo's consent and recognized this godparent.

Jin Cui Niang looked at her sister-in-law in a different light. She originally thought that she just had a pretty face and was arrogant. Now she saw that she was really lucky. Pieces of cake fell on her head one after another! She immediately ran out to tell her family about this happy event.

Ji Dacai and his family were also very happy when they heard it. They were just farmers in the countryside, but their daughter could have an official as her godfather. It was unimaginable. They rushed into Ji Xiuer's room like a swarm of bees, and only felt satisfied after asking Ji Xiuer all her questions. Feng drove everyone else out, held her daughter's hand and praised her for her ability and prospects.

"Oh, my daughter is still lucky. No matter how lucky Ji He is, can he have an official as his godfather? Let's see how he comes to beg us in the future. We will ignore him!"

Feng has been laughed at by others because of Ji He's prosperity these days. Now she feels proud.

Ji Xiuer said, "Mom, if we can reconcile with our uncle's family, it's better. It would be better if we can make Ji He think about us again through our uncle's family. Humph, it's easier to control only when the relationship is good."

Ji Xiuer had never thought about it before. This was what Wang Jiaoer told her when she talked about family affairs. She thought it made sense. Feng

pouted and said that it was a bargain for them, but she didn't object.

Ji Dacai's family was very proud that Ji Xiuer had recognized such a good relative again. Naturally, they didn't hide this matter. Soon, the neighbor Auntie Guo and her daughter-in-law Li Chun heard about it, and then it spread like wildfire. Ji Dacai's family received a new round of envy and hatred. After hearing about it,

Ji He told Ji Dafa and others that he would never have any involvement with Ji Dacai's family again. As for Wang Zhubo, who almost got his little husband, Ji He looked down on him from the bottom of his heart. Ji Xiuer recognized him as her adoptive father, which was really a gathering of dirty and smelly people. He would not envy him, but would only want to stay away from him.

Ji He also told Jiang Ping that although Ji Xiuer became his sister-in-law, she had nothing to do with him, and hoped that their friendship would not be affected by Ji Xiuer. He also reminded Jiang Ping to be careful in the future and marry a virtuous wife. A person like Ji Xiuer doesn't look like a virtuous wife at all, but a root of trouble. Don't let her ruin the Jiang family.

Jiang Ping said that they would separate the family in the future, and also told Ji He about Jiang Ping's harm to him.

"I really envy you for being able to break off the relationship with that family, but we can't do that." Jiang Ping was very sorry. He had no feelings for this eldest brother and felt a little scared. How could a person who wanted to kill himself not make people scared?

Jiang Wanguan was relieved that Jiang Kang married Ji Xiuer. Jiang Kang wanted to marry Wang Jiaoer before, and Wang Zhubo was also a little tempted. Even if Jiang Wanguan planned to separate the family from Jiang Kang, he didn't want him to marry Wang Zhubo's daughter. He looked down on Wang Zhubo, not to mention the famous Wang Jiaoer. Now Wang Jiao'er didn't make it, and although Ji Xiu'er became Wang Zhubo's goddaughter, she was still better than his biological daughter. However,

Wang Zhubo felt that there was no difference between his biological daughter and his adopted daughter, and as long as he used some tricks, he could get everything he wanted.

☆ 90. Chapter 90 Mid-Autumn Festival

In Chapter 90, Ji He didn't care about how Xiu'er got married

in the autumn . He was busy with his own life.

During this period, Ji He asked people to constantly look for grapes with a long age. Not to mention the grape vines that were already able to bear grapes, even those that were not yet of age were bought. He thought that when the wine was sold in the future, the amount of grapes needed would increase, and those that did not bear fruit would also bear fruit. It was just in time to save the time, manpower and cost of collecting grapes from others.

Looking at the grape racks, Ji He felt like he saw money flying all over the sky.

Grapes are not valuable, but wine is valuable. Ji He couldn't wait to start making wine, but there was a lot of preparation work, such as the sugar used to make wine, the jars for wine, and the wine cellar for the jars.

Ji He drew a picture of the wine cellar and handed it over to the Tian family father and son, and Ji He found his uncle about the jars. Of course, Ji He was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity to make money to others.

When Ji Dafa heard that Ji He wanted to open a kiln and let him be the head, he immediately agreed. He also knew how many bottles and jars Ji He would need if his wine sold well in the future. That was a big deal. Since Ji He had given it to him, he had to do it well.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it for you. I can find the master, but should I still find the assistants in the village as usual?"

Ji Dafa asked, because he had asked the villagers to transport and dig the grapes before, and later asked the villagers to help find grapes. If they were found, they would be paid per grape. Even the wheat harvested in front of the water village was done by the villagers, and they were paid. So Ji Dafa was thinking about whether to ask the villagers for this matter.

Ji He smiled and said, "Just find the villagers. It's up to you to decide who to find."

Ji Dafa nodded, and many candidates quickly popped up in his mind, all of whom were capable and honest.

After handing this matter over to Ji Dafa, Ji He went to pre-order sugar. He wanted a large amount of sugar. If he didn't tell him in advance, he might not be able to buy so much sugar at once.

After finishing these things, the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming. Ji He thought that this was the first Mid-Autumn Festival he would celebrate in this world. He was no longer alone. He had someone he loved, relatives and friends. He must have a good time, so he prepared a lot of things and set traps in the mountains, catching a lot of wild animals.

Ji He gave Zhang Shan's family cloth and money, saying, "You have worked hard these days. I hope you will keep up the good work and don't let me down. As long as you do your best, life will get better and better."

Zhang Shan and his family kowtowed to Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu, saying that they would do a good job. They liked the two masters very much, but they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. Although they knew that the two were all native country people who had just become rich, they were gentle and dignified. Not to mention that Ji He's eyes would sometimes make people feel cold, and even the gentle Shuang'er would frown when she needed to, never making people feel that she was easy to bully.

After giving gifts to the servants, they also gave gifts to Tian Daqiang and others, which were fine cloth and mooncakes. Zhang Xiaoyu also bought a pair of silver bracelets for Aunt Tian.

Aunt Tian refused and said, "We have good food and accommodation here, how can we need these expensive things? Keep them for yourself!"

Zhang Xiaoyu said, "Godmother, don't be so formal, my aunt also has them. If you don't accept them, you will treat me as your Shuang'er, and I will not call you godmother in the future."

Ji He smiled and said, "Godmother, accept them. If you don't wear them, you will give them to Jinduo's wife in the future."

Tian Jinduo touched his nose, glared at Ji He, and said, "Mom, accept them. Let him laugh at me and make him bleed!"

"This kid!" Aunt Tian glared at Tian Jinduo and took out two pairs of cloth shoes for Ji and Zhang Xiaoyu, "Aunt, what I give you is not as good as what you gave me, so just wear them and I will make more for you!"

Ji He and Zhang Xiaoyu thanked them, accepted them happily, and then drove across the bridge with Zhang Xiaoyu and came to the village with the gifts.

The two brought a lot of gifts, so in order not to walk more, they had to drive faster.

Naturally, they went to Ji Dafa's house first. The gifts they gave to them were the same as those given to the Tian family, cloth mooncakes, and a rabbit and a fish. They were invited to have lunch at noon, and to go to the town to have dinner and watch the lanterns in the evening.

Then they went to the homes of several prestigious elders such as Mr. Tian and Mr. Ji Er, and finally to the village chief's house.

Zhang Yu'e took the things with a smile, looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu is really different every day now! Look at this water spirit, you can pinch water out of it. Come and sit often when you have time. Although there is a river between us, it is convenient to come and go."

Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said of course. He was not a timid person, nor was he unable to speak, but he didn't like to speak before. Now he and Ji He are living a good life together. His smile is more pleasing than before, and he speaks more generously. He is very pleasing. Standing with the tall and handsome Ji He is very pleasing to the eye.

"Ji He, I heard from your uncle that you want to open a kiln? You want to find someone from the village, right? Then can you find Liu Wang's family to work? Alas, their life is miserable. They have no land at home, and they can only earn some money by working. They can hardly make ends meet."

Lin Yongxin said to Ji He.

Ji He had an impression of Liu Wang's family. Because Jiang Ping was injured by a cow, the angry landlord Jiang took back the land. His son once wanted to rely on him, but was rejected by Liu Wang. In general, Wang is a very honest person. Although his two sons are not as honest as him, their reactions at that time were also normal. After Liu Wang refused, they did not bother Ji He, which was very good.

Ji He said, "I will talk to my uncle about this. My uncle has the final say on whether it is feasible or not. I'll leave this matter to him."

Lin Yongxin nodded and smiled, "Okay, as long as you can help them get through this winter, you've done a great thing!"

"Ji He is really successful now. I wonder if anyone wants the things he makes in his kiln?" Zhang Yu'e said, thinking about how Ji He harvested so many grapes and wondering what he was thinking about every day.

Lin Yongxin said: "Even if Ji He has money, he won't waste it. This kid has been through hard times, and he will definitely make his life better. Tell Ji Jun to stop being so arrogant, Ji He is not a hard-hearted person. Even if you can't bring yourself to confront Ji He, go find Ji Qing. Both of you are studying, and you can review together. Didn't you see that Master Lian Jiang always comes to study with Ji Qing? He used to be very smart, but how come he is restrained by his temper?

He won't be successful this way!" Zhang Yu'e thought to herself, that's right, and said to Lin Yongxin: "Okay, I get it, just say less."

Lin Yongxin shook his head and went out. He was going to find Ji Dafa.

Ji Dafa listened to Lin Yongxin's suggestion, thought about it, and nodded in agreement.

Lin Yongxin went to tell Liu Wang's family, and the whole family was overjoyed. They all said that Ji He was a good person. The two brothers Liu Dahan and Liu Erhan blushed a little, thinking that they had once thought about Ji He, but fortunately their father stopped them. It turned out that people should not have evil intentions. The two brothers thought that they would learn from their father in the future.
