"I'm not going to abort the baby because it's the one I conceived after marriage, it's my ex-husband's, I didn't cheat on him. I'm doing this honestly, they have no right to scold me like that, let alone make me abort my own child because of their abuse."

Yan Xuezhi seemed to have no emotions as she stood by the bed and spoke to Jiang Eran.

Jiang Er'an didn't care what she said and kept crying.

Shen Chunhua was also very annoyed.

She originally wanted to marry Jiang Er'an a woman who could be ordered around by her right after she got married, but in the end, the woman's belly was so big that even if she was capable and hardworking, she couldn't do any work now!

The new bride is indeed favored by her parents' family, and they will definitely help her, but her brothers often come to her house and even fight with her, which makes her dare not bully her.

What’s the difference between this and marrying a relative?

No wonder the Yan family didn’t come to cancel the engagement and agreed to let her marry in early so easily. So that’s how it is!

Moreover, it has only been a few days since she got married, and Jiang Eran is already afraid that his brothers-in-law are scared to death and dare not do anything to Yan Xuezhi. Then, won’t Yan Xuezhi be the head of the family sooner or later?

By then, she will naturally have nothing to do.

How can this work!

Ever since the new bride came into the family, no one in the village said that she and Jiang Eran were a single man and a widowed sister-in-law anymore, but they couldn't let her status in the family be lost just like that!

No!

Absolutely not!

She also discovered that the new daughter-in-law was not cowardly at all. Even though she had been abused, she was not cowardly at all. She even insisted on having children for her previous husband. In this character, matchmaker Wang also deceived her!

Since these people are not cowardly, it will be even more difficult for her to control the new daughter-in-law and continue to be the head of the family!

She should have objected when Jiang Er'an accepted the four taels of silver and acknowledged the matter!

But she couldn't see it at the time. When the new bride just came in, she thought she was really a coward.

Seeing that her parents didn't make a fuss and were even willing to take two more taels of silver, she thought that her parents were weak and easy to manipulate. That was why she didn't object at all and let Jiang Er'an accept the matter.

The more Shen Chunhua thought about it, the more she felt that her life in this family was meaningless.

Rather than letting the house fall into the hands of the new daughter-in-law sooner or later, letting the new daughter-in-law be the boss and everything become hers and her children, it would be better for her to take action early and make everything completely hers.

Thinking of this, Shen Chunhua had an idea.

Her own family is definitely unreliable. Unless she gives them a lot of things, they will definitely help her.

But if she didn't take the things back, I wouldn't care whether she lived or died.

They even wanted her to remarry so they could get another betrothal gift. They didn't think about the fact that although Jiang Daan had been exiled, he hadn't died yet, and she hadn't been divorced, so how could she remarry?

Jiang Da'an is in exile and can't come back, so there's no way to investigate. But the Jiang family still has Jiang Er'an, and now there's Yan Xuezhi. Can Jiang Er'an and Yan Xuezhi not report this to the authorities? Let the government handle this matter?

So you can't count on her own family.

Fortunately, a peddler recently saw that she was no different from a widow, and he always flirted with her when he was selling needles and thread at the village entrance.

The peddler said that his ancestral home was not here and he had no wife. If she was afraid of being told what others said and being investigated by the government, he could secretly take her away from here and return to his hometown.

Originally, she was not tempted because she could be the boss at home, but now it is different. She wants to run away with the peddler.

He took all the money in his house and ran after the peddler.

Thinking of this, Shen Chunhua secretly took the land deeds, property deeds and house deeds from her home and went to find the peddler.

Then he went to the town with the peddler to sell these things.

The big adobe and thatched roof house of the Jiang family in the village was unwanted and could not be sold, but all the land was sold.

Thirteen acres of good farmland were sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver.

It was also because he was in a hurry to sell it. If he was not in a hurry and sold it slowly, the price would definitely be more than one hundred and fifty taels.

Shen Chunhua and the peddler's eyes lit up when they saw the huge amount of silver they had received.

The peddler wanted to help pack it up, but Shen Chunhua refused to give it to him. The peddler did not force her and agreed that Shen Chunhua should go back and pack it up first, and then they would meet at the village entrance in the evening and he would take her away.

He said that his hometown was far away, so he would take her away secretly, and no one would know that she was his daughter-in-law from Zaoshu Village, Dengping County.

The land has been sold, so we must leave quickly before Jiang Eran and Yan Xuezhi find out. Shen Chunhua naturally agreed.

At the same time, on the other side, Xiao Yan was studying military tactics with Ji Wei at Honghu Academy.

His wife didn't allow him to participate in the family business, and he felt that he was not suitable to participate now. Naturally, he didn't go to the county shop with her, but came to the academy again.

No one in the academy expected that he would return to the academy.

Xie Jing also went back to the academy. Although he knew that he would have to continue taking exams in the future, he was still a little confused.

Because Honghu Academy has been in existence for so many years and has not had a class for Juren, Xie Jing was a little uncomfortable and has been studying at home.

But he also didn't want Honghu Academy to make an exception and set up a Juren class for him.

The literary masters of Honghu Academy had originally intended to make an exception and set up a class for Juren. They also noticed Xie Jing's discomfort, but they couldn't do it rashly. They still had to ask Xie Jing's opinion.

By the way, the gentlemen also called Xiao Yan over to see what he thought.

Ji Wei had just finished teaching today's content, so he asked Xiao Yan to come.

Only when Xiao Yan came over did he know what was going on.

Seeing Xie Jing's confused expression and his inability to adapt to the current life of a juren, Xiao Yan said, "As you move up the exams, the tests will be even more about things beyond what you learned in the academy. The proportion of current affairs will become increasingly larger."

After bowing to the teachers again, Xiao Yan continued, "So I personally feel that staying in the academy is not conducive to my higher education. Only by leaving the academy and seeing more places can my horizons be broadened, which will be more conducive to my higher education.

The reason students still come to the academy is that Mr. Ji still has something to teach them, and students must continue to learn from him."

The scholars nodded in agreement, saying, "No wonder the sage said, 'When three people walk together, there must be one who can teach me.' Ruoqing, you are like my teacher now. This is why we shouldn't be confined to this small world. Only then can we gain a broader perspective and knowledge, which will also benefit you in your further studies."

"Gentlemen, your words are too kind," Xiao Yan said hurriedly. "I don't deserve this."

Mr. Wen smiled and nodded, saying, "Well-deserved, well-deserved."

Then he said to Xie Jing: "Duanyu, do you understand? Your future development and prospects all depend on this."

Xie Jing had already gained enlightenment from Xiao Yan's words.

Yes, how can we always stick to this small world?
