I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times

The Jiang family had smelled the aroma of meat a long time ago through the courtyard wall, and everyone had a gloomy face.

Everyone has his or her own little thoughts.

Jiang Youfang was eating the half-cooked rice made by Fan and was furious. "Mom, how can I eat this?"

"Why can't you eat it? Just make do with it."

Jiang Youguang protected his wife, and Fan almost never cooked. Every time it was her turn to cook, Jiang Youguang would help her cook because he felt sorry for the baby in her belly. Today's half-cooked rice was made by him.

Old man Jiang coughed and said, "Youguang, you have to study hard..." His in-laws asked someone to find a connection, and his son is expected to be admitted to high school this year. He couldn't say anything about his son protecting his wife, but he must not miss the important thing at a critical moment.

"Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Mrs. Liu said, "Youguang, our family is counting on you to pass the imperial examination. Don't go to the kitchen from now on. That is not the place for you."

Liu would not give Fan any face. This daughter-in-law is too delicate.

Jiang Youguang nodded in agreement. Fan buried her head even lower and said nothing. She felt aggrieved. She was already seven months pregnant, but she had to do the hard work of cooking. Wasn't it her duty that her man should love her?

After lunch, Jiang Zhi came over. The cat stayed outside the gate and didn't come in. Jiang Xue saw her and asked Jiang Yue, "Sister, Jiang Zhi wants to play with me. Should I go?"

Jiang Yue asked back: "Do you want to go?"

"I used to fight and bicker with Jiang Zhi, and I thought she was annoying. Now that I haven't seen her for a long time, I really want to bicker with her!"

"Then you go."

"But, over there..."

"What are you afraid of? Can the old woman over there still be eaten?"

Jiang Xue stuck out her tongue and ran towards Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi was about to leave when he saw Jiang Xue running over with an envious look on his face: "I heard that you got into the school? I haven't seen you since you moved away, and now you've moved back here. Is the school good?"

"Well, of course the academy is good. I am not the only female disciple in it, there are several others. I took a day off to move today, otherwise you might not be able to find me."

Jiang Zhi cast an envious look at him, "That's great, I didn't expect you could go to school!"

"Mr. Cui praised me for being smart and studying hard, saying I am no worse than men..."

Jiang Xue looked at Jiang Zhi and suddenly laughed: "Your brothers are all in school. You can learn whatever you want when they come home."

Jiang Zhi shook his head, suddenly remembering something, and asked, "Last time your sister beat my eldest brother, why did she give him three fish again?"

Jiang Xue's eyes turned: "Have you eaten the fish?"

Jiang Zhi's eyes drooped. "Don't mention it. It was all confiscated. Our family of six only shared a bowl of fish soup. Grandmother has said that no family is allowed to keep anything private. No matter what, everything must be confiscated."

"Your mother gave all three fish to Gongzhong."

Jiang Zhi sighed, "My mother is doing housework every day, while my second and third aunts just hide in the house and embroider handkerchiefs under the pretext of feeling sick. My grandmother also said that when my youngest aunt gets married, she will immediately rebuild the backyard for my brother to find a wife. My mother said that the fish might have been tampered with, and that my youngest aunt might have snatched it away, so she didn't ask for it back. Isn't it all a good deal for her?"

The two continued walking in the field. Jiang Xue's eyes turned and she asked, "Has Jiang Youfang not proposed marriage yet?"

Jiang Zhi sighed: "Don't mention it. I have seen many men. My aunt is too picky. She either despises people because they are poor or because their families are too crowded. My mother said that my aunt wants to marry into a rich family. The Jia family in the town is a well-known wealthy family. The second son of the third wife of the Jia family is of the right age. She wants to marry into that family!"

Jiang Zhi was a little unconvinced. After Jiang Xue's family moved out, Jiang Youfang made trouble at home every day, ordering her to do this and that. With her grandmother's support, her resistance was in vain. She was even more domineering at home.

"With her spoiled look, she wants to be a wife? There are so many things to do in a big house, so why doesn't she mind the population?"

Jiang Zhi sighed and said, "I just hope she gets married soon. It would be better if your family is separated. I am suffering. I am ordered around by her every day, even..."

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "How about dividing your family as well?"

"Even if I want to, what's the use? My parents don't agree. My mother is also waiting for my aunt to get married, and then she will find a wife for my brother."

Yes, after this branch of theirs left, Jiang Youtian became the largest branch. When old man Jiang is gone, half of the old house will be divided among the eldest branch.

The sisters talked for a while and then went back to their homes.

Jiang Xue went back and learned what Jiang Zhi said. Jiang Yue thought that Jiang Youtian's family was not doing well now. Qian and Fan were pregnant, and Liu was also feeling Li's pulse. Most of the work that her mother had to do before probably fell on Li's head.

In ancient times, people got married very early. Jiang Youfang was so picky that she chose to get married at the age of 18, while Jiang Changshun was only 14. Was Li so anxious to become a mother-in-law?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue called out "Big Brother".

"Hey--"

Jiang Ming came out of the room with a book in his hand, "Big sister, what's the matter?"

"Brother, don't rush into getting married!"

"Ah." Jiang Ming blushed. Why did his elder sister suddenly say this?

Jiang Xue chuckled: "Brother, why are you blushing? Do you already have a lover?"

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no such thing."

Jiang Yue also laughed, "Brother, don't get married too early, you have to wait until you are at least 20 years old."

It is clear that people became adults at the age of 20 in ancient times, so why are they getting married so early?

Jiang Ming blushed and nodded repeatedly, "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to study hard and live a good life for my family."

Jiang Xue whispered, "Sister, what about you? Mother is always worried that you will have a bad reputation and it will be difficult to propose marriage."

"As for me, I'm even less anxious. At least it will be ten years later. Anyway, this is not something you should worry about. Our eldest brother is going to study, what about you?"

Jiang Xue smiled and stuck out her tongue. Just as she was about to speak, she heard:

"Dang Dang Dang——"

A burst of intense gong sounds rang out in the village.

"Gather, gather, everyone gather at the village entrance." Someone was beating a gong and calling people from street to street.

When Jiang Yue and her family arrived at the village entrance, it was already surrounded by three layers of villagers.

I don't know what I stepped on, but I suddenly popped up in the middle of the crowd.

"Everyone, please be quiet, be quiet, and listen to what our officer has to say."

The bustling crowd suddenly became quiet when they heard the head of the village say that the official had actually arrived.

"cough!"

Hear the voice before hearing the person.

After the head of the village head went down, a strange middle-aged man appeared again.

The officer cleared his throat and said, "The government has received news that bandits may have invaded the wild mountains behind us. For safety reasons, no one is allowed to enter the mountains in the near future!"

When they heard about bandits, the villagers were horrified. How could bandits suddenly appear in such a peaceful and prosperous time?

The crowd began to whisper.

The officer raised his hand: "Stop arguing!"

The crowd immediately quieted down.

"Well, for everyone's safety, we brothers will stay in the village for the next few days. If you see anyone running down the mountain, be sure to report it."

After the officer said this, the crowd went wild.

"Here, are there really bandits?"

"Who knows."

"Whether there is one or not, my family will never go up the mountain during this period of time."

"You're not going to the nearby hills either?"

"If you don't mind your life, go ahead. Didn't you hear the officer say he wants to stay in our village? This is not a simple matter."

"I've never seen an official like you issue an order before, have you?"

"Don't disbelieve it, bandits are ruthless and will kill people without blinking an eye. Be honest these days and don't lose your life for a few pieces of firewood..."

A hint of sneer flashed in Liu's eyes. It's a good idea to give her a title. Let's see how that girl can go up the mountain to hunt!

Before the officer followed the head of the village, he gave some more instructions.

Jiang Yue seemed to suddenly think of something and hurried home.
