Yang Lingzhao was a little afraid of such a crazy Jiang Chen, but he was shamefully moved. They were all children born from their mother's belly, so why should the eldest brother be fully nurtured by the family just because he was born a few years earlier?

Jiang Chen showed an evil smile on his face. Look, no matter who it is, they are greedy and selfish. All people are like this. He just did what a normal person would do. What's wrong with that?

Village chief Jiang also wanted to call the entire clan to a meeting to expel Jiang Chen's family from the clan and even drive them out of the village.

If a family has two murderers, and they stay in the village, the whole village will be implicated. Who would dare to marry their daughter into the family? And who would dare to marry the daughter of Shimo Village?

In an age where fame is everything, there is nothing wrong with what Village Chief Jiang did.

Not to mention that Jiang Chen had lost his title as a scholar and had no hope at all. Who would still give him face?

Although doing this at this time may seem like kicking a man when he's down and adding insult to injury, for the sake of the fate of the entire village, we have no choice but to kill them all.

As soon as Jiang Chen came back, Jiang's father talked to him alone: ​​"What are your plans? Big brother, I don't blame you for what happened to the third brother. Let's forget the past, live a good life, and stop thinking about revenge, okay?"

"Don't worry, father. I have already made arrangements. Pack your things and follow me to the capital."

"Ah, go to the capital? My family doesn't know how to do anything except farming. What should we do with our house and fields?"

"Sell it. When we get to the capital, I will arrange a job for my second brother. I will also have a salary, and someone will take care of the house. I should also be filial to you two."

Jiang's father's tears rolled down his cheeks. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

It's a good thing that he won't have to endure other people's contempt after leaving the village. His youngest son has always been so smart.

I thought my family would be happy, but Jiang Dasao disagreed: "I won't leave home, if you want to leave, go ahead. I have lost my husband, and I can't let my children be implicated by you.

At least I can live in peace if I stay in the village. If I go to the capital, my life will be in the hands of others. I am afraid I don’t have the luck to enjoy wealth and honor.”

Father Jiang slapped his thigh in anger and said, "What are you talking about? How can you survive as a woman and a widow?

If you insist on staying, we cannot give you the child, and you must go with us."

Mrs. Jiang was exceptionally calm. "She is originally your Jiang family's child. I can't do anything if you insist on not giving her to me. Anyway, she is the only child of the Jiang family. You can't bear to abuse her. Then you don't want her. But I want this house and the land in the village. You have to give her to me."

"This won't work..."

Jiang's father objected, but Jiang Chen said, "Okay, it's settled. Tomorrow, let the village chief write the document to transfer the property to your name. But the children will have nothing to do with you in the future and will not support you. Just think of this as their retirement money for you."

Father Jiang had no choice but to give up, as he was still the one in charge of the family.

Just like that, before Village Chief Jiang took any action, Jiang Chen's family was about to leave, leaving behind only the widow Jiang Dasao.

Village chief Jiang didn't want to be the bad guy, so he just opened the door and sent this family of plague away.

Before Shen Nanzhi returned to the village, Jiang Chen's family had already left, and Jiang's wife found a bachelor in the village and started living with him.

The two lived in the blue brick house of the Jiang family and cultivated the Jiang family's land. They lived a very happy life. After the New Year, Mrs. Jiang gave birth to a son. This made the villagers change their views of her. They thought that Mrs. Jiang was blessed as she could still give birth at this age.

This is a story for later. Shen Nanzhi heard from Aunt Hu that the gossip about the Jiang family is now the most talked about topic in the village after dinner. There are really too many gossips.

Shen Nanzhi asked, "Is there a possibility that Sister Jiang had always been attracted to that bachelor?"

Aunt Hu was stunned, as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened, "Oh my, Nan Zhi, you are really knowledgeable and you hit the point right away.

I was just wondering, how come they got together all of a sudden when they didn't have much contact before? They didn't even wait for Boss Jiang to have a year, but got it done within a hundred days.

So that’s it, case solved.”

Shen Nanzhi: "Aunt Hu, please don't tell anyone, maybe it's not true. I just said it casually, rumors can kill people.

They are living a good life now, so just live peacefully and don't create any trouble. "

Aunt Hu nodded: "Of course, I am not jealous of others, I will never spread anything that should not be said.

It’s better this way. The Jiang family won’t come back. If Mrs. Jiang stays in their home, she will definitely be treated like a slave and her life will be very hard.

How can it be better than now? The man is a real man, not the useless Jiang Lao Da, and he has not been bothered by his mother-in-law, and he has given birth to a son. Alas, she has also endured the days of crying. "

"That's right. So, sometimes women have to think more about themselves. It doesn't mean that once you get married, it can't be changed for the rest of your life. Only by jumping out of the fire pit can you have a good life."

The matter of Mrs. Jiang ended here, and Aunt Hu did not spread it out. The reason why Shen Nanzhi could get along well with her was because Aunt Hu had principles. She would never say anything that could not be said, and she was not a gossipy person.

……

Imperial Envoy Zhou only stayed in the county for seven days, dealt with the aftermath of the disaster, and then went to another county. He was really busy.

Shen Nanzhi also had some free time and arranged for Xu Saifei to come to the county town to open a branch.

I was also responsible for bringing together Shen Desheng and her. After half a year of hard work, the disaster situation has stabilized and it is time to hold the wedding and make the village lively again.

Shen Desheng brought the group of people who had been to Qinghe County last time to pick up Xu Saifei and protect her safety.

There are so many people here that if you don’t know, you might think they are going to pick up a bride.

Five days later, Xu Saifei arrived, but settled in an inn in the county town and did not come to Yushu Village. After all, their status had not yet been determined, and a girl had to be reserved.

To Shen Nanzhi's surprise, Xu's father actually came along. Well, let's go meet the old man.

Shen Desheng and his wife Shen Tangbo changed into New Year's clothes and dressed decently and cleanly. The aunt even took out a silver bracelet from the bottom of her treasured box as a gift for her future daughter-in-law.

Shen Nanzhi was still dressed simply and refreshingly, with wooden hairpins and no jewelry as she was not used to wearing them.

"Uncle, don't be nervous. It's just a visit, not a meeting with the in-laws."

Aunt Shen said, "Nanzhi, do you think I should buy a gold bracelet? This silver bracelet is old-fashioned and a little shabby, right? Don't let other girls look down on our family."

"Gold and jade are all gifts from the heart. Miss Xu is a straightforward person and doesn't care about these external things."

"That won't work. They don't care. We can't treat them badly. We need to show them the right attitude."

Shen Nanzhi smiled, "My aunt must be a good mother-in-law. I think this meeting will be successful because our two families are going in both directions. I wish you success."

Shen Desheng's face was already burning with anger, and the heat never subsided. Apart from smiling foolishly, he didn't know what to say.

They took a carriage straight to the scene. On the way, Shen Qingshan asked her, "Nanzhi, what has Butler Huai En been busy with recently?"

"Study and follow Mr. Yuan. I don't understand their business, so let them do whatever they want."

Shen Qingshan glanced at his wife, and his aunt said, "Nanzhi, now that you know about the Jiang family's affairs, don't you have any plans for yourself?"

"Are you two urging me to get married? I'm only eighteen years old, there's no rush."

"How can I not be anxious? You are so beautiful, rich, and capable now, there are many young men who want to marry you. We have to choose carefully, start a family, have children, and live a good life."

Shen Nanzhi surrendered: "Okay, I will consider it. Don't worry, I won't fall into your hands, and I will definitely be able to get married. I just don't want to get married."

"We know you don't want to get married, so we're anxious."

It would be good if she wanted to get married, choose a good man, and make arrangements, but I'm afraid she is not interested.

Shen Qingshan added: "I think Huai En is a good kid, calm and smart, and he can study well. He has no family background to burden me. It's better to say that I marry him than to marry him. You still have the final say in the family. Why don't you consider him?"

Shen Nanzhi hesitated for a rare moment: "Does my cousin also think he's good?"

Shen Desheng interrupted: "Brother Huai En is very good. He can handle anything. He is not arrogant and is always friendly to everyone. We all respect him. Oh, and he also knows martial arts. He is really good and can fly."

"Have you seen it?"

"I saw it once when I woke up early in the morning. It scared me so much that I had to hold my urine. He really was like a hero."

Shen Qingshan slapped his son and said, "Be more polite when talking to girls. What's the point of talking about peeing or not? Are you being so rude to Miss Xu as well?"

"That's not it."

Shen Desheng was in the wrong, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake, but he didn't dare to say what was in his heart. He really didn't treat Nan Zhi as a girl, so he didn't care so much.

"Okay, don't hit your son. The Xu family will think that our son is irresponsible and he is being scolded by me. It's too embarrassing."

"That's right, Dad, you can't hit me anymore. I'm going to get married and I'm an adult now."

Shen Qingshan laughed: "When you become a father, I won't beat you anymore."

"Hey, that's easy. Get married this year and have a baby next year. Just wait for me, old folks."

Shen Nanzhi really enjoys chatting with them, as if they were a family.

When they arrived at the county town and settled the carriage, it was already too late, so Shen Nanzhi took out a few gold bracelets from her space and asked her aunt to choose one as a gift for Xu Saifei.

My aunt is right. The money belongs to the girl and we need to show our attitude. This is a respect for the girl and it shows our sincerity.

If all mothers-in-law in the world were so reasonable, there wouldn't be so many conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

They went straight to the restaurant and made an appointment for a private room. Shen Nanzhi and Shen Desheng waited at the door, waiting for the Xu mother and daughter to come.

Zhu Xiaomei and Jin Xuan'er came over together. Jin Xuan'er's face didn't look good, and Zhu Xiaomei was comforting her.

"Xiaomei, Xuan'er, you guys come and have dinner too."

"Sister Nanzhi, we are so happy to see you. You must accompany us for dinner today. We have a lot to talk to you about."

"Let's have afternoon tea. I'd like to introduce a friend to you. You guys go eat first."
