Jiang Youshan was speechless for a long while, feeling very disappointed. The old man only sold the land for 80 taels, but he only sold it to me for 100 taels? And he was so confident and self-righteous? How could buying and selling land be done without approval? Why did he ask his daughter to produce a letter of recommendation after saying this in private? Isn't this another trouble!
Although he was honest, he had heard of many cases of wealthy gentry donating money to become officials, and it was impossible to do so without a hundred or a thousand taels. Compared with those people, the girl only wanted a hundred taels, which was already very little, and the money didn't go into her own pocket, wasn't it used to help Lord Zhai to get in touch with him?
If Jiang Yue knew what her father was thinking, she would definitely tell him that the money she wanted was for her own pocket.
"Let's ask the village head to handle it. We should do what we need to do, so that we won't be confused later."
Old Man Jiang was choked and speechless, so he turned around and left.
Jiang Yue came out and said, "Dad, why don't you agree to him this time?"
Jiang Youshan sighed: "Dad is not that confused yet."
The land was measured and the land deed was written. There were three copies of the land deed. The village head took it to the county for registration and kept one copy. The remaining two copies were taken by each party. As for the matter of old man Jiang exchanging 100 taels for the letter of recommendation, there was no contract. Such matters were resolved privately and would not be put on the table to avoid giving people a handle.
Jiang Youguang gritted his teeth as soon as he got the recommendation letter: "You'd better not lie to me, otherwise..."
Jiang Yue replied bluntly: "What can you do to me?"
Jiang Youguang frowned and kept silent.
After a while, Jiang Youguang got impatient and said, "I've already given you the money, but where's the letter? Why don't you give it to me?"
Jiang Yue picked up the money bag that Old Man Jiang handed over. There was a rustling sound in the bag, and there was a lot of silver and copper coins in it.
"This hundred taels is the money you spent to bribe the way. Because of me, you got to know Master Zhai. Shouldn't you say thank you?"
Jiang Youguang said excitedly: "You, you still want money?"
Jiang Yue sneered: "Don't worry, I have plenty of money, I don't need it."
Jiang Youguang was furious: "Then what do you want?"
Jiang Yue smiled evilly: "My contribution here cannot be in vain, you should at least say thank you, right?"
"you--"
Jiang Yue said coldly: "I won't give it to you if you don't say thank you."
Jiang Youguang gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and bowed to Jiang Yue, saying, "Uncle, thank you for your help. I'll give you the letter of recommendation. Is that ok?"
"Don't mention uncle and niece to me, are you disgusted? You're jumping up and down like a dog wagging its tail! Why are you in such a hurry? No need for you to thank me, let your mother go to my grandmother and kowtow to thank her!"
"What?"
Let Liu go? Jiang Youguang swallowed hard. Liu was strong-willed and had a strong obsession with old man Jiang's original wife. It would be difficult.
"Go back and think about it. I'll only wait for one day. You know how close I am to Lord Zhai. Even if you offer him a lot of silver, it will have to go through me."
After saying that, she picked up a bag of silver and handed it to Jiang Youguang.
"Whether you can get the letter depends on Liu."
Jiang Youguang stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to eat her. After a long while, he didn't take the bag and turned away.
Old Man Jiang hurriedly chased after her: "After all, she raised you. Do you really--"
Jiang Youshan stood in the yard in a daze: "Yue'er, can Liu go?"
Liu had wanted to erase his and his mother's existence since childhood, so how could he acknowledge the person in front of him and kowtow to him? Jiang Youshan didn't believe it, but in his heart he hoped that Liu would do it.
Jiang Yue said calmly: "It depends on the position of Jiang Youguang in her heart."
Cai sighed, "She cares about her reputation the most. If she goes there, she won't be able to hold her head up high anymore. She will be so angry that she will die."
"Before she became Madam Shangguan, she was reluctant to die."
After a while, a scream suddenly came from that house. Jiang Youshan was really curious, so he moved the ladder and climbed up to the top of the south wall, stretching his neck to listen around the corner.
Unexpectedly, he saw Mrs. Han from next door carrying a ladder and quickly running to the top of the wall on the Jiang family's side. She leaned the ladder against the wall and climbed up. Her movements were smooth and seamless. It was the first time that Jiang Youshan saw how Mrs. Han paid attention to the Jiang family. She was really anxious.
Of course, the scream was from Liu. Liu howled like a ghost, and it was obvious that she was cursing her family. Jiang Youshan was not surprised, but felt relieved. Because immediately afterwards, Liu cursed at Old Man Jiang and his three sons. Liu was probably furious.
After listening for a while, Jiang Youshan felt that it was boring and wanted to get down from the wall.
"Hey, hey, Youshan!" Jiang Youshan was startled suddenly. He didn't know when Mrs. Han came up to the top of the wall on his side with a ladder, showing her head, and called him in a low voice.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Han looked as if she understood what I meant, and pursed her lips with a sly smile: "In front, Jiang Youguang was kneeling in the yard. If it were you, you should have done this a long time ago to vent your anger."
After saying this, Mrs. Han carried her ladder and went forward. Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei came back and climbed on the wall to listen for a long time, sighing and lamenting. Liu must be so sad.
Jiang Youguang knelt on the ground and kowtowed wildly in the yard. Liu cried and scolded in the house until she was tired of crying. In the middle of the night, Liu finally couldn't resist Jiang Youguang and left the house first.
After breakfast, Old Man Jiang dejectedly informed Jiang Yue and the others to go to the ancestral hall.
Why didn't Jiang Yue go to the cemetery? She did it on purpose. The cemetery was remote and there was no one there. The ancestral hall was in the village and there were many people. She just wanted to throw Liu's face on the ground and let the whole village step on it.
Liu knelt before Jiang Youshan's mother, wasn't that asking for her life? But Jiang Youguang was more important than her life, and for the sake of her son's future, Liu had to kneel.
But even though Liu gave in, she didn't let her son and grandson follow her, and only let Jiang Youguang stay by her side. She wanted to tell Jiang Youguang that she didn't even care about her face for him, and she wanted Jiang Youguang to remember her kindness as a mother and respect her for the rest of his life.
In order to watch the fun, Jiang Xue and Jiang Lei did not go to the school. Liu looked at Jiang Youshan's family from head to toe viciously.
Jiang Xue said, "Sister, the old woman will never let us go until we die."
Jiang Yue was very calm: "Don't worry, she can't win."
This old witch probably doesn't have the face to come back.
Liu glanced at the tablet on the altar, feeling sad. She recalled that when she first got married, Jiang Youshan cried and looked for his mother, and Old Man Jiang secretly talked about the dead woman. She was jealous, so she didn't allow Jiang Youshan to mention his mother, and she also tried to win over Old Man Jiang, making him obey her in everything. Over the years, she had been treating Jiang Youshan like a slave, and Old Man Jiang didn't care about him, and was wholeheartedly good to his children.
But when did everything change? Liu thought desperately, it seemed to be after Jiang Yue was no longer stupid... Thinking of the rumors in the village, Liu suddenly shuddered. Could it really be... retribution?
