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

"Huh?" Jiang Xue looked incredulous. Old man Jiang? How could it be possible?

"Grandfather asked you to come? How is that possible? I've never seen him talk to you before."

"how--"

Jiang Zhi had no point in defending herself. Jiang Xue was right. Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Liu did not value the maids and never took good care of their granddaughters.

"With his energy, even if he came to ask, he should have sent his grandson to ask."

"...Grandfather called me brother, my brother...let me ask..."

Jiang Xue didn't need to ask her sister, she refused outright: "We've already split up, and we broke off completely at the beginning, why should I go? Will I be plotted against if I go?"

Jiang Xue said this to Jiang Zhi a lot, but Jiang Zhi didn't get angry. She clasped her fingers and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. I just came to ask, why are you mad at me?"

Jiang Xue went to look at Jiang Zhi's hands, which were red and swollen. It was because the weather was getting warmer and the frostbite was itching.

"You better be careful. I know you were Jiang Youfang's lackey before, so I didn't quarrel with you. Now you are the eldest girl in the family, don't be silly and let that old woman order you around. Who knows, Jiang Youfang might have conspired with Liu to plot against you."

Jiang Zhi was startled, looked at her hands, and quickly hid them behind her back: "She is married and not at home. I will hide from her when she comes home. You don't have to worry about me."

"Humph, who said I was worried about you."

After a while, Jiang Zhi said, "Your flower... is really beautiful."

Jiang Xue touched the plum blossom on her head and said with a smile, "My sister picked it for me. Doesn't it look good?"

Jiang Zhi nodded enviously: "I'm leaving." Indeed, she was only envious and not jealous. Who would dare to be jealous of a sister like that?

Jiang Xue went back to the house and told what happened.

Everyone looked at Jiang Youshan. Jiang Youshan was stunned for a moment and said uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me? Didn't Xue'er reject it?"

Jiang Xue looked puzzled: "Dad, are you blaming me?"

"No, no, Dad didn't think it through. I didn't expect it."

After saying this, he glanced towards the south wall.

Jiang Ming suddenly felt something was wrong: "Dad, you don't want to go, do you?"

"......without."

I actually hesitated!

Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes immediately: "Dad, if you go on this trip, believe it or not, you will be a dog-skin plaster in our family from now on, and you can't get rid of it even if you want to!"

Jiang Youshan drooped his eyes: "I know, I won't go."

After a while, Jiang Youshan looked up and saw that the whole family was still staring at him. He felt uneasy and assured again, "I really won't go."

Jiang Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Dad, if you want to go, go ahead. It's nothing. As children, how can we not miss our parents? I know you miss your dad."

Sure enough, Jiang Youshan showed a look of joy, and after a while he reacted and scolded: "What do you mean your father? That's your grandfather."

Jiang Ming got angry: I really want to go!

"Dad, what are you going to give? Don't give away what my elder sister earned."

Cai added: "Don't give me the pigs I raised. If you want to give me something, give me the ones you earned yourself."

Grandma Cai immediately glared at Cai. How could she treat her son-in-law like a criminal?

Jiang Youshan touched his face and discovered with sorrow that although he had done a lot, he had not earned a single cent for this family.

The room was quiet. Grandma Cai pulled Cai and told her to leave and not to get angry with her son-in-law. Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei looked at Jiang Ming, then at Cai, and finally at Jiang Youshan.

Jiang Yueke saw her cheap father clearly and comforted him, "Dad, we are all family. Whoever earns the money belongs to the family, regardless of who is the one. Mother and Big Brother are just angry for a while, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Youshan was a little surprised. This didn't sound like something a girl would say.

"Dad is the head of the family. You can give the things and money in the house to whoever you want. You distribute them, and we won't say no."

So touched, Jiang Youshan felt comforted.

Jiang Ming and Cai looked at Jiang Yue, acting weird?

"At worst, Dad will give me some, and I'll take it back ten or a hundred times. Our family won't suffer any loss."

Sure enough, Jiang Yue's next sentence caused Jiang Youshan to cough. That's right, the girl is still the same girl, the girl who always pokes holes in his heart. He was just overthinking it.

So, for the sake of his father, he should stay away. Jiang Youshan left the house embarrassedly to see his cows.

When Cai saw her smiling eyes, she knew that her daughter was not stupid.

Jiang Ming and the others laughed.

Grandma Cai was confused. Why was Madam Ying still smiling when her son-in-law was angry?

"It's New Year's Day, how can you make your uncle angry? Go and coax him back."

"Grandma, don't worry about it—"

Over there, Old Man Jiang couldn't help laughing and scolded Liu: "I told her that she wouldn't come, but you insisted on asking her. You have such a heart. Didn't you treat her better before?"

After saying that, he shook his sleeves and stormed out.

Liu spat and cursed: "A family of short-lived ghosts, do you think I should be nice to them? If I had known he was an ungrateful person, I should have drowned him. I raised him with good intentions, but now I am blamed for everything? You are such a shameless person——"

Old man Jiang had not walked far, and he must have heard what Liu said, but he had never refuted Liu in all these years. He just put his hands behind his back and went out for a walk.

Liu turned around and complained to Jiang Youguang: "Tell me, why did you have that thought?"

Jiang Youguang pointed at the table. His father was looking forward to his family becoming an official, but he backed out at the last minute. How could he be willing to become a scholar after studying for so many years? Now he has set his sights on his mother. His father doesn't want to be an official, but his mother wants to be an official lady!

"Mother, if that family didn't know Lord Zhai, who would care about them? The county is recruiting clerks this time. Although I passed the examination for a scholar, I have no connections. How can I enter the county government? I won't be able to pass the examination for a juren in the future! Bah, what kind of shit luck did that family have to get close to the county magistrate? Mother, don't you think about it for me?"

Liu immediately calmed down when facing Jiang Youguang: "Hasn't mother planned enough for you? I'm afraid that we have good ideas, but you know what we have done in the past few years. Can others help us?"

Jiang Youguang said, "Who said that we two mothers should stand up for ourselves? Don't we have my father? Jiang Youshan is a muddle-headed person. As long as my father says something good, he will come to us immediately. Mother, please persuade my father to say something soft. If for no other reason, it must be for the good life of your old lady, right?"

Liu's eyes rolled, weighing the pros and cons: "Letting your father speak softly, isn't that just making yourself submit? Besides, how can Lord Zhai know about our two families? Can't we just go to Wang Zhubu? As long as Wang Zhubu introduces you to Lord Zhai, the relationship will be like this..."

Jiang Youshan stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and asked Liu for money: "Mom, how can you make connections without money? You can't let me get something for nothing, right?"

"Okay, I'll get the money for you after the New Year. We don't need to be bullied by that family!"

Outside the window, Jiang Zhi curled her lips, hunched over and went back to her house.

Li also went into the house immediately and went out again after a moment.

Qian immediately came over and asked, "What did you say?"

"Hmph, what else can I ask for? The house costs money. I'm afraid our family will have a hard time after the New Year. Ask your man to keep an eye on our father."

Qian's scalp tightened, and she immediately said, "After the New Year, Dad must build a new house. Mother-in-law has no face to do something that she promised and then regretted."

Before Mrs. Liu even thought about asking Old Man Jiang about the money, her two daughters-in-law had already thought of a solution.
