Jiang Youfang's husband's family, the Jia family, are wealthy and mainly do business. Of course, they also have a lot of land, which they rent out to tenants for cultivation and collect rent at the end of each year.

The Jia family wanted to take advantage and put all their land on Jiang Youguang's hands.

When Jiang Youguang's title as a scholar was taken away, the Jia family said they wanted to take back the land, but Jiang Youfang blocked their argument with a clever tongue. Jiang Youfang patted her chest and assured that Jiang Youguang was framed by a villain and would make a comeback in the future.

The old lady of the Jia family was coaxed and did not dare to break up with Jiang Youguang rashly, but her family's land must be taken back as soon as possible.

The old lady of the Jia family got into trouble but got nothing in return. She was repeatedly evaded by Jiang Youguang when she wanted to take back the land.

At the beginning of the year, some tenants came to the Jia family, and only then did they realize that Jiang Youguang was deliberately refusing to return the land. More than half of the more than 100 acres of land had been secretly sold by Jiang Youguang!

The Jia family was furious. The old lady of the Jia family brought a group of people to the house and made a scene. As soon as they entered the house, they didn't care about anything and made a mess of Jiang Youguang's house.

When the two families signed the land deed, they did something shady. They wrote two copies of the documents and kept them in their hands. There were no witnesses, so they were not valid at all. The Jia family filed a lawsuit with the Qingzhou County Government, but there was no evidence and the government did not care.

The old lady of the Jia family was so angry that she beat Jiang Youfang violently when she got home, and told her that Jiang Youfang should either go back to the fields or go back to the Jiang family!

Jiang Youfang returned home crying. Liu was heartbroken. These two children were her treasures. Jiang Youguang's sale of the land was obviously a betrayal to Jiang Youfang.

But wasn't it that his official position was taken away? Liu came up with a compromise that she thought would satisfy both parties. The fields were not returned, and there was no money either. She could ask Jia Youguang to write an IOU, but at the same time, the Jia family could not embarrass Jiang Youfang.

Jiang Youshan was horrified when he heard this: "So, it was because of this Jiang Youguang that Liu was killed personally?"

He had known for a long time that Jiang Youguang was not a good person, but how bad does a bad person have to be to kill his mother for money?

How could the favored Jiang Youguang accept Liu's sudden defection and betrayal!

Jiang Youguang was so unwilling that his career ended so suddenly, and Liu actually favored Jiang Youfang!

Write an IOU? Why didn't you say anything when you were enjoying yourself under his name? Why are you saying he's wrong now?

Obviously, as long as Liu Shi asked, no, she didn't need to ask, as long as she didn't say anything, the Jia family would be helpless against him. But Liu Shi insisted on forcing him to apologize and write an IOU?

Then die!

After torturing Jiang Youguang, the county government asked him about how he killed Liu.

Jiang Youguang tricked Liu into going to Jiang Youfang. On the way, he gave Liu a drink of water mixed with drugs. After Liu fainted, he put Liu's head outside the window, pretending to be carsick and blowing the wind. Then he used the excuse of being carsick to sit outside with the coachman, and they walked all the way, blowing the wind all the way...

Cai Qiqi: "How can there be such a cruel person?"

Liu was bent on scheming for Jiang Youguang, and she never expected that Jiang Youguang would take her life just because of her momentary inadequate planning!

It's ridiculous. She was so stubborn all her life, but now she kneels down and kowtows for Jiang Youguang's future...

Jiang Youguang was taken to prison and Liu was hastily buried.

The Jiang family, which used to be a wealthy and talented family in the countryside, suddenly became a family of murderers who killed their son and their mother and were avoided by everyone.

Old man Jiang's waist suddenly collapsed.

In order to avoid making Jiang Youshan feel distressed, Jiang Yue entrusted the house to Mr. Cai and Wan Fubao to take care of it, and took the whole family to Hedong County to send Jiang Ming to school.

Walking slowly along the way. Jiang Xue chattered along the way, but the two brothers felt burdened. Jiang Ming's corvée service made the two brothers feel an urgent sense of oppression. If he studied hard and passed the imperial examination, their family would no longer have to perform corvée service.

The New Year has passed, and the city of Hedong County is still very lively. If Jiang Yue had not heard with her own ears that Nandu County had been lost, she would never have thought that the prosperous Daqian Kingdom was in danger. She took out the pass document for the soldiers at the city gate to check, and handed in six copper coins, and the family entered Hedong County.

"Brother Jiang?"

When he arrived at the gate of Honglin Academy, someone suddenly called him tentatively from behind.

The family turned around and looked at the people behind them.

"It's really you, Jiang Ming, you actually came back alive!"

Several scholars dressed in academy clothes surrounded him in surprise and looked at Jiang Ming in disbelief.

"That's right, that's right, Wei Han, Lu Ye. I'm back." Jiang Ming smiled faintly and nodded to several classmates.

Several scholars looked at him curiously and felt that there seemed to be something different about him, but they couldn't tell what the difference was.

But coming back is always a happy event, and everyone said: "Congratulations, it's good to be back, we all thought you were going to die..."

Realizing that this was not a good thing to say, Wei Han lowered his voice and smiled awkwardly. He changed the subject: "Are these Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, and their brothers and sisters? I am polite here, kid."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to the person.

Jiang Youshan and Cai nodded hurriedly and returned the greeting. Jiang Ming and his classmates seemed quite friendly. This was too polite.

"Are you going to enter the academy?"

"Together?"

Several people nodded, and Jiang Ming said goodbye to his family and went in with them.

When he arrived at the school, someone asked him what happened on the way. Jiang Ming coughed twice and said, "There was an accident, but fortunately, God protected me and I was saved."

Fortunately, I have my elder sister. Thinking of the war at the border, Jiang Ming looked solemn: "I have neglected a lot of studies on this trip, I have to catch up quickly, please lend me your notes."

After suffering so much hardship during corvée service, Jiang Ming saw through the sufferings of farmers and tried his best to climb up the ladder. In the past, he only thought about having enough food for his family and being happy. After studying, he thought about passing the imperial examination and bringing honor to his family. After entering Honglin Academy and meeting Zhang Bao and others, he also fantasized about joining the army and being as majestic as General Zhang.

Serving as a laborer was an opportunity. While in the academy, he felt that he had good archery skills and wanted to go to the border to see the warriors fighting bravely. Perhaps he could become one of them. However, heavy rain, enemy attacks and miasma on the way shattered his naive idea!

From the day he entered school, Jiang Ming had a complete epiphany. He studied hard day and night just to pass the provincial examination and become a scholar. He was determined to pass the provincial examination in spring, and he would also work hard to pass the county examination in autumn.

Jiang Yue accompanied her family to visit Hedong County for two days, visiting silver houses, bookstores, and teahouses on the small streets. They had a great time and invited a doctor from Hedong County to diagnose Cai's pulse. The doctor smiled and said that everything was fine, which made Jiang Yue feel relieved. Not to mention that Cai's health was poor before, this pregnancy was considered an advanced maternal age, which was very risky.

In the past two days, she heard a lot about Zhai Qingya. The governor of Hedong County was replaced, and Zhai Qingya was transferred back to the capital, demoted to a sixth-rank idle position and remained in the capital.

Hearing these things, she felt depressed: Isn't it a big deal if a servant can tell her?

Jiang Yue shook her head and thought to herself that she was thinking too much. There was an insurmountable class gap between scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, and she just couldn't reach them!
