Wear it quickly, it's better to live a miserable life than to die

The family had dinner happily. After the meal, the two granddaughters-in-law and Cai Xiang went to clean up the dishes, took them to the kitchen, washed them, drained them and put them back in the cage.

In the hall, Cai Mingxian proudly announced the news that he and Ding Yi were going to the capital.

Upon hearing this, Cai Ankang was the first to rush to Ding Yi and Cai Mingxian, hugged his father's thighs, and cried, "Dad, let me go, your son can take care of you."

Cai Mingxian looked disdainful and shouted, "Boss, give the youngsters a chance." When his eyes moved to his grandchildren, Cai Mingxian nodded with satisfaction, but when he looked at Cai Ankang, he was filled with disdain.

His eldest son is so much like him that Cai Mingxian is worried about what he does.

When he was young, Cai Ankang was the child who received the most attention from his biological father, because he was the eldest son and because they looked so much like each other, as they grew up, Cai Mingxian gradually shifted his attention to other children. Whenever he saw his eldest son, it was as if he was seeing himself, who had lost the family fortune and failed in the exams time and again.

Similar or not, love or hate is only a matter of a moment.

It looked like he was crying. Cai Mingxian seemed to see in him the eye-catching scene of himself and Ding Yi acting like a spoiled child, and he felt even more disgusted.

"Dad, my son is still young." Cai Ankang retorted. In order to be able to go to the capital openly, he tried his best.

Cai Mingxian sneered, "You're almost going to have a grandson, and you're still young."

His father laughed at him, and the wrinkles on Cai Ankang's face moved uncontrollably. Years of hard work had made his red and black face even more eye-catching when he cried. Cai Mingxian quickly turned his head to see his wife wash her eyes.

Because of Cai Mingxian's words, most people's attention turned to Cai Xiuwei's wife Fang Chun, or to be exact, her belly.

"Sister-in-law is pregnant?" Cai Xiuhong's wife Song Ping asked in surprise, with a flash of nervousness in her eyes.

We agreed to face the pressure together, but you secretly got pregnant.

Fang Chun's face froze, and her hand couldn't help but touch her belly. She quickly denied: "No, I'm not pregnant."

After saying this, she lowered her head, her expression sad. She had been married for two years, but there was still no news of pregnancy. Her parents-in-law and grandparents had not urged her to conceive, but she was already getting anxious. If her menstrual period had not yet ended, she might have taken what others said as true.

"It's a matter of two years sooner or later. There's no need for your eldest grandson's wife to rush." ​​Ding Yi comforted her gently. Both of them were in good health. It was only a matter of time before the disease could happen.

Fang Chun smiled shyly and hid behind Cai Xiuwei.

In the end, Cai Ankang still couldn't persuade his old father with all his rage, so Ding Yi waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing. The old man and I will go, and the two younger ones will go with us to broaden their horizons. Xiuwei from the eldest family and Xiuhong from the second family will go with their grandchildren's wives, and they can take care of us on the way."

Cai Ankang had a sad face and didn't want to talk.

Ding Yi didn't spoil him. He was the same character as his biological father. Even his biological father disliked him. So why did he always like to stick in front of Cai Mingxian without any tact?

Cai Mingxian sat proudly beside Ding Yi, like a victorious rooster, with his head raised high and laughing foolishly.

Didn't see it.

Ding Yi controlled himself from going to see him. The time agreed with Taoist Yun Yuan was the day after tomorrow morning. He would set out with the Shanchang County caravan, first to the seat of Yongyu Prefecture, then take a boat to Lugang, and then go to the capital from Lugang.

It took about a month.

In order not to miss the time, they planned to meet at the Shanchang County Inn the next afternoon. After everyone had packed their luggage, Cai Ankang drove a donkey cart to take them to the Inn.

The next morning, several people arrived at the caravan gathering point. After setting off, Cai Ankang drove back.

Of course, it is more comfortable to drive by land and enjoy the scenery along the way. Taoist Yunyuan said that it is not convenient for them to travel by car because they are old and young.

Cai Mingxian thought that the old man was talking about Taoist Yunyuan himself, but he didn't expect that Taoist Yunyuan looked at him meaningfully.

The Taoist priest was talking about him.

The more he communicated with Ding Yi, the more Taoist Yun Yuan looked down upon Cai Mingxian.

However, Cai Mingxian is carefree. He just needs to make sure that his wife still wants him. As for what outsiders say or think, it is none of his business. His wife is his, and he has the right to live off her.

Taoist Yunyuan had a special status, so the caravan found him a slightly more spacious carriage. Ding Yi shamelessly stuffed Cai Xiang and Cai Xiuduan into it, making the space, which was originally half occupied by cargo, even more crowded.

Taoist Yun Yuan raised his eyebrows and glared, but Ding Yi turned his head away and ignored him.

Cai Xiang pulled Cai Xiuduan into a corner, trying not to anger Taoist Yun Yuan. Taoist Yun Yuan turned around and saw the two of them looking at him as if he was a bad guy, and he immediately became even more unhappy.

Ding Yi and Cai Mingxian sat on the cargo cart, and the rest of the people followed the caravan on foot.

Cai Mingxian moved his butt awkwardly and moved closer to Ding Yi. "My dear, how about we buy a carriage for our family next time?" The stuff underneath hurt his butt, and the bumps in the carriage made it feel so comfortable.

"Let's talk about it later." Sitting in the small seat, Ding Yi watched the scenery on both sides recede with interest.

It took countless people to build the official road, which was built on rolling hills. When encountering long and steep slopes, everyone had to get off and help push the road.

When they arrived at the capital of Yongyu Prefecture, they said goodbye to the caravan and found an inn to stay in. The fleet still had a few days to go, so everyone rested in the capital.

Taoist Priest Yunyuan was a man who could not sit still. He had just rested for one night and had to go visit relatives and friends the next day. As he was old, Ding Yi, who was preparing to show his face, was worried and followed him.

Ding Yi went there, and Cai Mingxian, the burden, also insisted on going with him.

In response to Ding Yi's stern refusal, the team expanded from one person to two, three, then to nine, and finally to five.

He casually threw twenty or thirty taels of silver to Cai Xiuwei, asking him to arrange for food, medicines needed on the ship, etc., and to contact the fleet so as not to miss the time.

Wang Qing is in charge of the money at home. Cai Mingxian doesn't know how much money there is exactly. After Ding Yi came, the amount may be more or less, and no one else knows either.

At the same time, they were all stunned by their wife/grandmother. Thirty taels, just give it as soon as she said it. The family was so rich, and they could still eat porridge for every meal.

Not really, there are times when they eat dry rice and meat.

Just not many times.

Cai Mingxian flattered her, "Madam, you are good at managing the household. It is a blessing for the Cai family to marry you..." After saying this, Cai Mingxian made a request shyly, "Madam, can you give me ten taels of silver? No, eight taels will do. I am short of money. I..."

He secretly looked up at Ding Yi and saw that she was not angry. Cai Mingxian straightened his back and continued, "I don't want to do anything bad, but I am a grown man and it's embarrassing to go out without money. If you want to buy something, I can pay for it."

Ding Yi rolled his eyes at Cai Mingxian several times and almost laughed out loud. How could he have the nerve to say he would use her money to buy her a gift?

Never mind. She shouldn’t be too harsh on him since he’s already prepared to be her gigolo.

Putting a purse into Cai Mingxian's hand, Ding Yi said unhappily, "Use it sparingly."
