I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 45 Zhai Qingya
Liu urged Old Man Jiang to borrow money, but she never expected that Jiang Youshan would not lend money but just give away stones for free. She was so angry that she spat: "Who wants your rotten stones!"
Jiang Yue: I didn’t plan to give it to you in the first place.
She turned around and told her father: "The backyard is too big, let's build the boundary first, and then build the wall later."
Cai was busy feeding the pigs and taking care of the housework, while her three children were in school. Jiang Yue joined the work of building the courtyard wall.
Old man Jiang is here again.
"I heard that you went into the mountains again this time?"
"Well, have you gone to help the Luo family find someone?"
Old Man Jiang looked unhappy: "Then can't you help Dad?"
Jiang Youshan didn't know what to say. He told me to let the stones be used for free, but you didn't come to take them and asked me to deliver them to you?
Jiang Youshan really remembered Old Man Jiang and really wanted to help him build a house, but that didn't mean he could be the master of the family.
Jiang Yue said: "I am in charge of the money in my family. If Mr. Jiang has anything to say, just come to me. It's useless for my father to say anything. Even if my father wants to give you money, you can't take a penny without my approval."
Old man Jiang glared and said, "Adults are talking, how can a child interrupt? Go away."
This was his previous attitude toward the children in their family. He didn't beat or scold them, but he wasn't kind to them either.
No, his father was not kind to Jiang Yue, and he had even cracked his daughter's head open.
Jiang Youshan's eyes darkened: "Yue'er is right, the money in the family is earned by her, she is the boss, my words are useless."
"you--"
Old man Jiang stopped speaking harsh words and began to complain: "Youshan, please help Dad. Your sister is getting married, and your nephew is getting married. Dad has a hard time. His old waist is broken..."
Why do you do this?
Jiang Yue was disgusted, and with Mrs. Han watching the fun every day, the gossip about the Jiang family soon spread in the village again.
Liu agreed on a dowry of eighty taels and refused to budge.
The price made the villagers vomit blood. Eighty taels was enough for their family to marry off eight daughters.
Of course, the three sons were even more unwilling, and Jiang Youcai had the strongest reaction.
After Jiang Youguang went to the county town, he also became tough and said that the dowry was too much and it would bring shame to the family. He was afraid that the Jia family would think that he was trying to curry favor with them!
Jiang Youtian only resisted slightly, saying only that he didn't want to disappoint his son and that he could do whatever he wanted.
Liu was so angry that she was reluctant to make things difficult for her son, but she was very picky about her daughters-in-law, causing her sisters-in-law to suffer a lot. Even Fan, who had the most leisure time, lost some weight.
The Li family was so angry that they wanted to tear Jiang Youfang to pieces. She was about to get married, but she was still causing unrest in the family. They hoped that she could get married quickly and never come back.
There was also a dispute over building a new house.
Old Man Jiang wanted to demolish the entire backyard and build two new houses for Jiang Changshun to use.
Li Jiang Youtian was satisfied.
But Qian was worried that the two weddings would drain all her family's wealth and that when her son got married, he would not be able to live in the new house.
He said, since it is prepared for the grandson, there is no reason to prepare only the main room and not the second room. Either don't build it, or build them together. Build two rooms for Jiang Changping as well.
Old man Jiang was so angry that he was fuming. When would the ten-year-old kid be able to use it?
Qian said that it would be used sooner or later, and it was a good time to build it now, saving labor and materials. The new house was placed there, and it also let the villagers know that the old man in the family was fair and treated his grandchildren equally.
Li agreed. Her second son was only one year younger than Jiang Changping. There was no reason to build a new house for Jiang Changping without benefiting her eldest son.
Jiang Youfang cried day and night, saying that her brothers didn't love her.
Liu scolded her daughter-in-law every day, and finally scolded old man Jiang, forcing him to ask Jiang Youshan for money. It would be best if he could give her several dozen taels, enough for the dowry and to build a new house. That way, she wouldn't have to touch her own money.
Over the past few decades, Old Man Jiang had long been accustomed to Jiang Youshan's obedience and thought that he had sent away a disaster, but he never thought that what he lost was a treasure, which was difficult to pick up. But even if it was difficult to pick up, he had to go.
Old man Jiang played the emotional card and asked Jiang Youshan to pay some money. Who knew that Jiang Youshan was sure of it, but the girl was not easy to deal with.
Old man Jiang came to borrow money for the third time.
Jiang Yue sneered: "The original division list was written clearly, completely clean, no contact between each other, my father left the house with nothing, no need to pay filial piety!"
Old man Jiang was so angry that his ribs hurt: "Get lost, why are you everywhere? I am your father's son, it is only natural for you to respect me."
Jiang Yue corrected: "My father was born to my grandmother, so you are only responsible for sowing seeds. My father has been working like a slave for your family since he was a child, serving you and your whole family. He has already paid it back!"
Old man Jiang raised his hand and was about to hit Jiang Yue.
Jiang Youshan was stunned and stepped in front of Jiang Yue.
"Snapped--"
A slap hit Jiang Youshan on the head. Jiang Youshan felt pain and hatred.
Jiang Youshan also said something harsh: "Dad, you marry your daughter, and I have two daughters myself. Your grandson will marry a wife and build a new house, and my family also has two boys and not enough space. I can't help you, we have already separated and have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"You—okay, don't come to me again."
After saying this, Old Man Jiang turned and left.
When Jiang Youshan saw him leave, he became like a piece of dead wood, motionless.
Cai was worried and helped him into the house.
"His father, his father, wake up, why do you look like you've lost your soul?"
Jiang Youshan came back to his senses and pulled his hair: "I'm fine, let me rest for a while, just rest for a while."
"It's all Dad's fault. Dad is useless. Yue Er almost got beaten by him again."
Cai began to wipe away tears.
Jiang Youshan wiped his face.
Old man Jiang never came again after that, but Jiang Yue was always unhappy and often asked Jiang Xue to take delicious food to find Jiang Zhi. Whenever there was any chaos over there, she would immediately come back to tell about it, and at the end she would always say, "That family is not doing well, so why am I so happy, hehehe..."
Jiang Youshan was conflicted and listened even though he didn't want to.
Cai was annoyed: "Who did you learn this from, little girl? How will you get married in the future?"
Jiang Xue said: "I just talk about it at home as a pastime. Who wants to hear about her family's trivial matters?"
Jiang Ming was annoyed that he was not at home when Old Man Jiang came to borrow money. He was so bullying and he wanted to vent his anger.
Jiang Yue advised him privately: "We don't need to do anything. That family will destroy themselves."
When Jiang Ming and his friends had a rest, Jiang Yue took her family of six into the county town. They went shopping and had a good time. She loved to go to bookstores and bought a bunch of history books and miscellaneous stories.
The soap factory was quickly built, and Jiang Yue left home to guide the soap making.
The soap workshop was built not far away, in a village next to Muchuan County.
Ye San drove the carriage to take her there, and on the way he met the new county magistrate taking office. Jiang Yue was curious, so she lifted the curtain and took a look. It turned out to be him?
Who else could it be if not the man he rescued that day and took care of in the cave for a month?
Ye San said: "This county magistrate is called Zhai Qingya, and he is a good friend of my son. I really don't understand why he would leave his job as a son of a noble family in the capital and come here to be a county magistrate?"
"Brother Ye San, can you tell us about the bad guys that day..."
"The master has ordered that Miss Jiang is considered one of our own. Ye San should tell us everything he knows. The villain said that he just couldn't make it in the Absolute Territory and secretly ran to our territory. But he is definitely not a good person. This is not credible. My master is secretly investigating."
Jiang Yue nodded. As long as there was no war, who cares if he was a spy or not. Anyway, there were big shots to worry about it. If the sky fell, the tall guy would hold it up.
All the people working in the workshop are servants of the Su family and they are reliable.
The workshop was built in the backyard of the villa, with four spacious rooms. In the first room, large iron pots were placed side by side for boiling lard, and in the second room, wood ash was collected, which had to be filtered through two fine sieves before it could be used.
The third room is the most important, used to mix ingredients and solidify them into shape. The hands used are the most reliable. The fourth room is a warehouse, storing raw materials and finished products.
When the first batch of soap was successfully made, Jiang Yue's mission was accomplished. Thinking that she could make money by lying down in the future, Jiang Yue went to the county town to go shopping happily.
Someone was selling turtles on the street, and Jiang Yue caught one. The turtle was already the size of a palm, and its desire to survive was so strong that it kept waving its limbs. This was the one she chose, and she would take it home to keep as a pet.
She fed the two dogs at home a lot, but they were always afraid of her and would wag their tails at Jiang Lei. No matter how she called, they couldn't get close to her. When she shouted loudly, the two dogs would run away with their tails between their legs. It was boring to read history books and miscellaneous notes over and over again. There was nothing to entertain herself, so it would be better to raise a turtle.
The stall owner put the turtle in a small jar and handed it to her.
Jiang Yue was in a good mood along the way and felt hungry, so she sat down at a wonton stall on the side of the road.
"I didn't expect to meet you here?"
Ah? Jiang Yue turned around and saw the man standing perfectly in the golden sunlight.
The sunlight was too bright to see clearly, so Jiang Yue squinted and looked against the light.
As bright as a jade tree in the wind.
"Long time no see." His tone was warm and clean.
"Hey, what a coincidence. Are you here again?"
The man couldn't help but smile and said, "You are really a very rude girl."
Without saying anything, he pulled a low stool and sat opposite her. This wonton stall was for ordinary people to eat, and there were low tables and low stools. As soon as he sat down, the stool seemed short.
"Hey, you're quite rude. You're sitting like a big bear!"
The man smiled harmlessly: "Little girl, after all, we have known each other for such a long time, can't you treat me to a bowl of wontons?"
Jiang Yue teased: "How can I afford such a big Buddha like you?"
The man said, "You refused to tell me your name at first. So your name is Jiang Yue? Did you think I couldn't find you?"
Jiang Yue glanced at him and said, "It is really a pity that Lord Zhai came to personally inspect the people's sentiments."
Zhai Qingya said: "It's not too late to welcome him now."
Jiang Yue sneered, unable to stop, as if he were a friend she had met again after a long separation.
