The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Jia An initially wanted to refuse, but for the sake of the money, he agreed.

He accepted the money and then went home.

He lifted the curtain and went inside. Because the oil lamp in the house was too dim, he felt as if his foot had tripped over something and he almost fell flat on his face.

Jia An had been in a very bad mood lately!

The monthly salary I can receive continues to decrease!

Not only were they reduced, but they also withheld it from above!

If Jia Erdan hadn't asked him for help and given him some money, he wouldn't have had any money to go out drinking and carousing!

"Foolish woman! It's so dark, don't you know to light an oil lamp? How are we supposed to walk in the dark!"

After Jia An entered the room, he began to curse and swear.

His other wife was busy in the kitchen at this time, while only Li Xiuqin was in the main room.

Li Xiuqin had just finished circling outside Jia Daoshi's courtyard wall and was feeling quite annoyed. Just as she had finally managed to coax the twins to sleep, Jia An yelled at her, and she immediately burst into tears again.

Throughout the entire Great Jing Dynasty, women held a very low status. When Jia An got angry, Li Xiuqin would usually be meek and submissive.

But things are different now. I was already upset, there was no meat to eat, my milk supply was low, and the baby was hard to soothe. I finally managed to get him to sleep, but Jia An yelled at me and made me cry!

This caused Li Xiuqin's mental state to collapse on the spot!

"What's your name! How long has it been since you gave me any money? Don't you know how much lamp oil is left in the house??"

"You think it's too dark? You're so capable! Go buy some lamp oil! Look at Jia Daoshi's house, the lamps there are as bright as those in the county government office!"

Hearing this, Jia An frowned: "You really are a stupid woman! When did Jia Daoshi ever light a lamp at night?"

“Lighting lamps is nothing!” Li Xiuqin said sarcastically. “I just saw them buy a lot of fatty meat and render lard! The aroma could fill half of Jiajia Village!”

Li Xiuqin's words left Jia An speechless.

"I think you're having hysteria!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shuitao, Jia An's wife whom he had just married this year, walked in. She was carrying a lamp, but it was clear that there was not much oil left in it, and the flame was dim.

In his other hand, he held a bowl of rice, some green vegetables, and diced radish.

Jia An stepped forward to take the food and casually said, "Shui Tao, your sister Xiu Qin just said that she smelled the aroma of rendered pork fat. It's from Jia Daoshi's house next door rendering oil. Did you smell it?"

Zhou Shuitao was taken aback: "The smell of lard? No, I was in the kitchen just now. Where would that lousy scholar Jia Daoshi's family get lard? I saw them taking those wild rabbits and meat they hunted to the county town to sell, probably to pay the head tax, right? The villagers also said that he owes a lot of money to Manager Ji in the city. Where did they get the money?"

Zhou Shuitao's words made Jia An even more displeased. He turned to Li Xiuqin and said:

"Did you hear me now? Don't think you can treat me badly just because you gave birth to twins! Jia Daoshi even sold his own wife! Do you want me to sell you too?"

"If you continue to talk nonsense and spread rumors in the future, I will not let you off easily!"

The reason why Jia An got so angry is actually quite simple!

How could Jia Daoshi possibly be better than him?

Isn’t this nonsense!

Jia Daoshi, that scholar, was a complete scoundrel!

How can I compare to him?

Among the younger generation in Jiajia Village, he is the most outstanding, without exception!

Could Jia Daoshi possibly be living a better life than him?

"Yes! My lord, I was wrong!"

Seeing Jia An's gloomy face, Li Xiuqin could only bow her head and admit defeat!
