Liu slammed the table and said, "You're not accompanying me to send the gifts? How can your sister have the face to go out?"

"What do you mean, mother?"

"Silver is silver, and things are things."

"His-"

The sons and daughters-in-law of several families all took a deep breath. With such an accompanying gift, wouldn’t it be at least one hundred taels?

For a moment, dissatisfaction appeared on everyone's face.

Everyone knew that Liu loved her daughter, so she must have secretly given her money. You know, Liu had been managing the public treasury all these years, so who knew how much money she had secretly hidden.

Qian went to see Li, and it was rare to see her sitting still and not saying anything. She could not help but secretly hate her, thinking that she was sure that the old man would say that he would build a new house for Jiang Changshun and marry him a wife. No matter how much the mother-in-law made trouble, she could not stop her son, so it was easy to talk.

But what about my son? Changping is 10 years old, and he can get married in three to five years, but if he marries his younger sister-in-law or niece-in-law now, the family assets will be used up. What will be left for my son?

Besides, Jiang Youfang is an ungrateful person. She just said so much, but she was only happy with herself, and didn't say a word to take less dowry for the sake of her parents' family. When she really gets married, she won't get any credit. With her mother-in-law's preference for Jiang Youfang, won't Jiang Youfang turn the Jiang family into the Jia family with just one word?

No, absolutely not!

Qian looked at Fan, but Fan just lowered her head and rubbed her belly without looking at him.

Jiang Youguang didn't want to quarrel. He couldn't save face as a scholar. Although he was very dissatisfied with her mother's favoritism, he had just handed in fifty taels of silver for the exam. Her mother also subsidized him a lot.

So what if the Jia family is rich? When he becomes a scholar, they will still come to curry favor with him. He is not afraid of having no money to spend.

Among the three sons, only Jiang Youcai fought alone and went against Liu, refusing to agree to the dowry of eighty taels of silver no matter what.

Liu was so angry that she slammed the table and yelled, saying that her son was unfilial and was going to drive her to death.

Jiang Youcai is not a man of meanness and won't fall for it.

He even said, "If you go with your sister, I will accept you and treat it as money for your retirement."

Liu was so angry that she took off her shoes and went to beat Jiang Youcai.

Jiang Youfang didn't say a word from beginning to end. When the sisters-in-law left the room, they all glanced in Jiang Youfang's direction and sneered silently.

This is what the sisters-in-law understand: Hurry up and get married, and stop hanging around at home. But don’t even think about the eighty taels of dowry.

The Jiang family’s loud voices can be heard through the courtyard wall.

Jiang Xue finished speaking and took a sip of soup: "We went too late and didn't hear the whole story. Mrs. Han from next door told us the whole story from the beginning."

Cai was speechless. This old lady Han and Mrs. Liu did not get along, so she had to listen to all the gossip about the Jiang family.

Jiang Youshan seemed to be thinking: "Changshun is going to get married, and I will be grown up tomorrow..."

Jiang Ming felt dizzy. How did this get involved with him?

"Dad and Mom, I'm not in a hurry, even after I'm twenty."

Twenty years old, that's what Jiang Yue told him privately. He didn't have that idea at all, even thirty wouldn't be a problem.

Cai said to him, "That's nonsense. How can someone not get married at the age of 20? I think we should invite a matchmaker to our house."

Jiang Ming's hair stood on end. He glared at Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei who were covering their faces to laugh. He thought quickly, "Mom, I want to take the exam to become a scholar. I can't get married so early."

Jiang Youshan was surprised: "You've only been in school for a few days and you're already taking the exam?"

Jiang Ming straightened his chest and said, "Mr. Cui said that with my level of hard work, I can try out for the county school during the Chinese New Year."

There are certain requirements for entering the county school. You must pass an exam and only if you are qualified can you be admitted.

Jiang Youshan was delighted: "Great! Can our family also produce a scholar?"

Jiang Lei was unwilling to fall behind: "I will also work hard to catch up with big brother."

"Our Leizi is not bad either. If we work harder, we will catch up with your big brother."

Cai smiled happily: "Okay, then the village won't be able to accommodate you two brothers, go to the county town to study together!"

Jiang Youshan and his wife encouraged their child verbally, but they did not take it as a big deal in their hearts. As long as the child liked it, it was fine for him to study more.

How could it be so easy to pass the exam? Just look at Jiang Youguang next door, he studied for so many years but still failed the exam? There are even people who pass the exam until they are old and gray.

Jiang Yue went to the county town again five days later. The golden leaves on the road began to fall with the wind, and it was time to buy new clothes at home.

The main streets in Muchuan County are still prosperous.

Suddenly a group of people gathered in front.

"Quick! A child is choking!"

"Pat him on the back!"

The woman cried bitterly, "What should I do? No!"

Jiang Yue listened to the noisy noise and looked towards the crowd. She saw the child bending over and retching, unable to speak, and his face turned from pale to blue.

Oh no, the child's face is getting worse and worse, he is close to suffocation and is about to die. Jiang Yue squeezed into the crowd and said to the woman, "I have seen others treat this kind of choking before, why don't you let me try?"

At this time, the child rolled his eyes and died. The woman tried her best to save the child and immediately handed him over to Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue held the choked child's abdomen with her backhand, then performed the Heimlich maneuver and squeezed the child's upper abdomen hard.

Once, twice, three times...

"Ugh!" The child spat out the date pit.

"It's vomited out, it's vomited out." The people around were excited.

Thanking the girl for her help, the woman was about to kneel down, but was supported by Jiang Yue.

The child's face gradually calmed down, and once the discomfort was over, he immediately burst into tears. The woman hugged him and cried with joy: "My dear, it's a good thing you are okay, otherwise... I would not be able to apologize even if I died a hundred times."

Jiang Yue then took a look at the people in front of her. They were both dressed in unusual clothes, not like people from Muchuan County. Judging from the woman's words, they were probably servants.

Jiang Yue didn't say much and prepared to leave.

At this time, a cavalry team came from the front.

The woman came forward and said, "Master, the young master is fine."

The leading man was tall and had a pair of rare phoenix eyes that were breathtaking. The half beard on his lower jaw was totally inconsistent with his stunning eyes!

"Ok?"

“Hiss—that’s…”

Jiang Yue was only focused on this handsome guy with a strong aura, and then she looked down at the horse.

The doctor from Renhetang?

As long as the doctor is here, she has nothing to do.

"Master, it was this girl who saved the young master."

The woman wanted to introduce Jiang Yue to her, but when she turned around, she found that Jiang Yue had already walked away.

"Girl, I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet!"

Jiang Yue waved her hand, "No need!"

Xiao Che was a tall and strong man. He looked across the crowd in the direction where the sound came from. Jiang Yue was wearing a blue dress and walking very fast. She soon disappeared in the crowd.

"A Liu, take the young master back with me."

Jiang Yue ran away early as she didn't want to get into trouble, but she didn't know that she would soon meet the master and his three servants.

It was because she accidentally saved someone this time that she solved a lot of troubles.
