Dressed as a top-notch girl, leading the whole village to become rich

"If she doesn't get married, where will our reputation be?"

Ye An was standing by the window, carrying cakes and about to deliver them to his parents' house. He felt as if he was in an ice cellar. Even in July, he felt cold all over.

Since her rebirth, she has been smooth sailing. She successfully snatched the ginseng from her aunt in the tribe, and accumulated money by making tofu before her aunt started a business.

In the previous life, even though the younger aunt in the clan lost money in business, her family was still better off than theirs, so she had enough confidence and did not flee from famine.

But it did not affect her good mood. However, this good mood disappeared when she heard such words again when her mother came to her for the third time to discuss the engagement.

She has two older sisters, both of whom are engaged, and their partners' family backgrounds are similar to hers, or even worse.

But even so, when the famine came the next year, they left without a trace without even breaking off the engagement, and when they met them on the road, they avoided them like snakes and scorpions.

She wanted to shake her mother's body and ask loudly, what is the purpose of the engagement? For money? The gift is only a few taels. As for people, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water, and the family loses a laborer.

She felt as if the feet under her feet had taken root and she couldn't move.

What about taking care of the girl in old age? What about just coaxing her into getting engaged and leaving the rest to the man's family to solve.

It turns out that no matter how much you do or how capable you are, it is not as good as the face she has? What about your own happiness?

She heard footsteps approaching her, and wanted to move her feet, but she had no strength. Just when she was about to break the jar and throw it away, a warm hand pulled her to the side, and warm breath hit her ear.

"I thought you were prepared." The man's voice was in the process of voice change, but it was not difficult to hear the tenderness in his tone.

"Ready?" Ye An murmured almost instinctively, his eyes filled with tears.

But she couldn't cry, so she could only pretend to be strong and raise her head. "Everything I do is not entirely for them, but mostly for myself. All the money is in my hands, and that's enough."

Even after hearing it with her own ears, she still refused to believe it.

Zhou Jingwen sneered inwardly. People have a bad nature to think they are very important. In other words, they try every possible way to make themselves look very important. However, they don't know that this will only make the already precarious status quo collapse faster and more tragically.

He had lived in a wealthy family since he was a child, and had seen all kinds of intrigues. Even if those who did something wrong cried and fainted in front of him, he would not show them any mercy.

At this moment, he was very annoyed because of her unshed tears.

"You've already bought a house in the county, haven't you? You'll have your own little yard in the future, so you can just close the door and live your life on your own."

"If you still feel uncomfortable with this, then buy another house next door and open a side door."

There is actually nothing wrong with Zhou Jingwen's idea. He is trying his best to help her and protect her.

But it hit Ye An's sore spot accurately. She couldn't even maintain her usual gentle image anymore. She stood up suddenly and scolded, "Who do you think you are? I saved you with good intentions, so you should be grateful to me and my family. But you, not only are you trying to sow discord here, but you also made me disobey my parents and even move on."

"No matter how bad they are, they are still my family. No matter how critical the situation is, they are the only ones who will protect me sincerely. You are almost well now. I guess I was wrong about you. You can leave tomorrow!"

This accusation was completely brainless. After kicking the person out, Ye An, who was lying on the bed crying, felt regretful, but she would never apologize.

Zhou Jingwen, who could still hear the crying through the wall, was not angry at all because of being scolded. Instead, he was thinking about how to help her solve her family's problems.

She cares so much about her family and her methods are so cruel that she will probably be hated in the future.

He didn't notice that he had already classified her as one of his own and was even planning how to take her away.

The next morning, Ye An went to have a detailed talk with her parents, which was unusual for her. Zhou Jingwen didn't know what agreement they had made, but one thing was certain: she was about to get engaged.

Ye An's chance of survival was that she suddenly remembered that in her previous life, her aunt's fiancé was the future General Dingbei.

They are of similar age, so what's wrong with that? Since she's going to get married, she might as well choose the tallest one among the short ones.

Zhou Jingwen watched coldly as Ye An's mother lowered her head and went to deliver food to Ye An's grandparents. There was meat, vegetables, and white rice in the basket.

When he first came here, this was a good meal that he could only see once every half a decade. Now, if he sends it over, he will be ridiculed.

Ye An's mother was still grateful because if he hadn't dumped all the food on the ground and crushed it with his feet in front of Ye An's grandparents some time ago, it would have scared them.

Even if Ye An's mother gave him the best things in the house, all she got was endless abuse from morning to night.

It was clear that when the family was divided, the elders of the clan had all witnessed that Ye An's grandparents were now being raised by his uncle, and Ye An's family had to send a fixed amount of rice, grain and oil to them every month.

As a result, her grandparents could use the excuse of filial piety to have every meal delivered to their house, calling it filial piety.

"Are you sure you still want to live with such foolishly filial parents?" Zhou Jingwen asked Ye An who was also watching coldly on the side.

Ye An also didn't understand why his aunt did nothing but still had people fighting for her, and her family members were like leeches, sucking her blood.

Mother and father are still trying hard to seek approval from their elders.

The eldest sister is honest and focused on her work. If the meat is not put into her bowl, she will save it if possible.

The second sister is smart. She wants to live and eat with her now, so she tries every means to save more dowry.

My fourth brother was still young and thought that studying was the only way out. He turned a deaf ear to the outside world and devoted himself to reading the books of sages. Now that the family has the means, we can only see him at the dinner table, where he reads and eats.

"In your opinion, wives and husbands can be replaced, right? You don't have to confirm this question with me again and again." There was an indescribable irony on Ye An's face.

"I am just an ordinary farm girl. If you hadn't taken me to the restaurant and helped me negotiate the deal, they and I would have been running the tofu stall now. How could we be so leisurely?"

"I know exactly what they are thinking, but so what? I can't really replace them."
