The self-reversal of the cannon fodder fat wife

The calmest among them was Song Gang, who was counting the remaining money in his mind.

"Brother, do you have any money? We only have one carriage left. Ping'er and I have fifty taels of silver on us, hidden under the blanket of the carriage."

"We still have ten days' journey to the capital. If we spend these fifty taels frugally, we can use them in the capital."

In fact, Song Gang still had 150 taels of silver under his shoes. This was the 200 taels of silver Wu Ping had given him before, saying it was her own private money for use on the road.

For safety reasons, he divided the money into two parts. Since Wu Ping couldn't remember what happened in between, he kept the 150 taels for himself.

Just a second ago, Wu Che was furious because Song Gang had deceived them, but the next second, he suddenly felt a surge of emotion in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh that those who were good at studying really had very smart brains!

If he didn't have a backup plan, they would probably be homeless on the streets tonight.

"Brother-in-law, I still have twenty taels of silver. Add your fifty taels, and the total will be seventy taels!"

"Ten days, seven taels of silver a day, it should be enough if you spend frugally!"

As Wu Che spoke, he handed his silver to Song Gang.

However, when Wu Ping heard this, she immediately refused to do it.

She widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief, "Only seven taels of silver? How can this be enough? I want to go home!"

"I want to go find my father and mother!"

After saying that, she sat down on the ground and started crying like a child.

At this moment, Wu Ping had completely lost the demeanor and temperament of a rich lady. Song Gang couldn't help but feel a little disgusted when he saw her acting like a spoiled brat.

In his impression, Wu Ping should be a well-educated and well-mannered woman, and should never be like this.

He frowned and said worriedly, "Brother, do you have anything on you that can be pawned?"

He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "We can pawn some items appropriately, but the quilts and clothes in the carriage must not be moved. After all, we still have to travel."

"I have two pairs of jade pendants and two jade hairpins here, all bought for me by Wu Ping."

"I think it would be enough to pawn one of them and keep one as a decoration."

In fact, he secretly kept a lot of these things, but didn't want to take them out. He would pawn them all at once and keep the money well. Money is worse than material possessions.

After hearing this, Wu Che took off his jade pendant without hesitation and handed it to the other party.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I only have this one jade pendant. The others were all in the car, but they were taken away by the robbers."

Song Gang thought about it and decided to give up. Being the young master of the Wu family was a symbol of status. If he didn't have connections, he would probably have to wait in line for two days to enter the capital.

He then said: "Brother, you should keep it for show. We can't lose our identity."

After hearing this, Wu Ping felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

"They took away all my jewelry, even the one on my head," she sobbed.

When Wu Ping thought about her whole box of jewelry disappearing, her heart became heavier and she cried even more sadly.

Song Gang couldn't bear to watch it anymore. He really didn't want to see Wu Ping crying so bitterly.

After all, she was carrying his eldest son in her belly, so he had to take better care of her no matter what.

So Song Gang walked over quickly, gently helped Wu Ping up, gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, and comforted her softly:

"Well, don't cry. I hid some of it for you under the carriage. They didn't find it."

When Wu Ping heard this, her tearful face suddenly brightened up. She looked at the man in front of her in a daze and felt a little better.

Although this man seemed intelligent, he was still far from being qualified to be her husband.

She snorted coldly and said bluntly: "You are a toad wanting to eat swan meat. If you can marry me, your family's ancestral graves will be filled with smoke."

His words were full of disdain and contempt for Song Gang.

However, Song Gang didn't seem to care about Wu Ping's sarcasm. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

Wu Ping saw that he smiled and didn't lose his temper. She softened her tone and said, "You are smart. Help me to the carriage!"

Seeing this, the maidservant beside her hurried over and said to Wu Ping with a smile on her face: "Madam, let me help you. The son-in-law is a grown man, how can he take care of others!"

After saying that, he carefully helped Wu Ping up and walked towards the carriage.

He thought to himself that he still needed the help of Wu Ping and his sister, especially Wu Ping, who had a close relationship with Minister Wu. If he could establish a relationship with Minister Wu through her introduction, it would undoubtedly be a great help to his future.

Therefore, no matter what, he couldn't fall out with Wu Ping at this time. Even though her words just now were a bit harsh, he could only endure it for the time being.

Wu Che, who was standing by, seemed to realize that his sister's words were a bit too much. He patted Song Gang's shoulder gently and said with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, my sister is just outspoken. Don't take it personally. Just be more tolerant."

Song Gang forced a smile and responded, "It's okay, I know."

Seeing this, Wu Che said no more. He turned around and jumped, landing steadily on the horse's back.

After they arrived at the next town, Song Gang immediately took the things he brought to the pawn shop.

Originally, Song Gang had planned to leave all of Wu Ping's jewelry to her, but now he only took out two sets of head ornaments and hid the rest, telling Wu Ping that this was all he had hidden.

Wu Ping looked at the two sets of headgear with an unpleasant expression on her face, but she didn't know what to say. If it weren't for Song Gang, she might not even have this.

In the end, Song Gang pawned more than one hundred taels, but he only told them that he only had twenty taels and kept the rest of the money for himself.

In this way, relying on the money obtained from pawning, they finally managed to hold on and arrived in the capital in December.

However, what Song Gang never expected was that things did not go as smoothly as he had imagined.

It is said that Minister Wu's eldest daughter somehow offended the Third Prince's wife, and this caused a huge trouble!

Minister Wu had no choice but to send his daughter back to his hometown in Wu County to avoid any further trouble.

However, this matter does not end so easily.

Minister Wu himself was implicated and lost the important task of supervising the spring examination.

You know, this spring examination is a major test that concerns the future and destiny of many students!

And now, the power of supervising the examination has fallen into the hands of the second prince.

In order to prevent the test questions from being leaked, the second prince took great pains. Not only did he ask several university scholars to re-write the questions, he also replaced all the invigilators.

This time, Minister Wu really suffered a Waterloo in his life. He felt as listless as an eggplant hit by frost.

However, just when he was feeling discouraged, Song Gang and others came and he read his brother's letter.

The letter mentioned Song Gang, who seemed to be quite talented. Maybe he was the last hope of their Wu family!

Minister Wu had originally wanted to recommend Song Gang to study at the Capital Academy, but now that he himself had lost his qualifications to be an invigilator, the dean of the Capital Academy would naturally avoid him.

But Minister Wu was not willing to give up. He kept using his connections to try to find a good future for Song Gang.

But who could have thought that it would rain once it rains!

While Minister Wu was still busy with Song Gang's affairs, something happened at home again.

Wu Ping had an argument with Minister Wu's second daughter, and during the scuffle, Wu Ping accidentally slipped and had a miscarriage!
