Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 117 What a miserable life!
Coal Ball, who had just returned from a trip outside, happened to be there and was eating a five-nut mooncake.
While eating, she didn't forget to talk to Jiang Changtian, "Man, although you are a demon, you can only understand cats, so you are a very low-level demon. But Shu Yun is a fairy who can conjure up delicious pastries with ease. You are not worthy of Shu Yun. Demons and fairies are different, so give up!"
Jiang Changtian applied slight pressure with his fingers, and the flaky mooncake crumbled into crumbs...
Qin Niangzi, who was standing to the side, was also eating with crumbs all over her mouth. "The crust is well made, but the filling is a bit too sweet. I prefer savory pastries."
She nearly went mad on the donkey cart and completely forgot what Lin Shuyun had brought.
As for Lin Hongwen, he's a fool and very easy to fool.
Lin Shuyun was unaware of the big mouth that was Coal Ball. She thought she was pretending very well, but Jiang Changtian had already noticed something was amiss.
The table was piled high with things brought by the villagers: eggs, duck eggs, vegetables, fish...
Madam Li asked with some concern, "Yunniang, isn't it a bit inappropriate to accept gifts from others?"
The house had never been this lively before, except when they harvested apricots. Madam Li knew that everyone was there for her son-in-law.
She's a woman from out of town who wasn't very close to the villagers before, so she feels a bit uncomfortable with their sudden enthusiasm.
"Don't worry, Mother. Nobody has any bad intentions. They just want to maintain good relations with each other in the village so that they can help each other out if anything happens."
Lin Shuyun reassured Madam Li, little did she know that it would be thanks to these fellow villagers that the Lin family would be able to escape a disaster.
It was getting late, and they decided to head back to Hewan Village.
After all, they're married now, so it's not appropriate for her to stay at her parents' house forever.
When Madam Li saw that Madam Qin had also boarded the donkey cart, she hurriedly said, "Sister, why are you leaving? Just stay at home and live peacefully for as long as you want."
Qin Niangzi jumped off the donkey cart, pulled Li Shi aside, and winked at her.
“Sister-in-law, I get along well with Yunyun and I know that the young couple haven’t slept together yet. I’ll go and see them so you can become a grandmother soon.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Li nodded repeatedly, "I don't know what's wrong with this child either, thank you for your trouble, sister."
Lin Shuyun ignored what she heard and continued driving the donkey cart.
Anyway, she discovered that her aunt was very good at coaxing people whenever she wanted to.
Li was an extremely introverted person, and upon their first meeting, she was completely fooled by Qin Niangzi and believed her completely.
Jiang Changtian, however, felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this.
He meant to say that he wasn't incapable, but rather...
No, how do I explain this to people?
Coal Ball jumped onto Jiang Changtian's shoulder and meowed: Let's go.
When the three arrived at Hewan Village, the villagers greeted them warmly.
"Oh dear, our village's scholar has arrived."
"Congratulations! From now on, you'll be called Scholar Jiang!"
Jiang Changtian responded modestly, "Uncle, you're too kind. Just call me by my name."
Yesterday, in no time at all, the news that Jiang Changtian had passed the imperial examination and become a scholar spread far and wide.
And he was number one! That sounds incredibly impressive. He's the first scholar to come from the village; it's a source of great pride for anyone who talks about it.
Jiang Changtian was talking to someone on the way, and Lin Shuyun didn't stop the car. When they arrived at her door, a crowd had already gathered.
"Big brother, big brother, you're back? Third brother and I were planning to go to Xinghua Village to see you!"
Jiang Shuixian squeezed out of the crowd, wearing a pale yellow dress, a red flower in her hair, powder on her face, and lip rouge on her lips.
Jiang Shuixian found this garish outfit particularly beautiful and walked over to Jiang Changtian in an affected manner.
"Big brother, you actually topped the exam! You're amazing!"
Jiang Changtian frowned. "What brings you here?"
"Brother, what are you saying? Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do? I'm just congratulating you on coming. Congratulations, brother."
Jiang Shuixian smiled and felt her face powder fall off in a flash, so she stopped smiling.
Their eyes were fixed on the car when they spotted a basket covered with a cloth, which looked like it was full of things. Their eyes lit up immediately.
This is something good.
"Oh, you came empty-handed to congratulate me?"
Qin Niangzi jumped off the donkey cart and said sarcastically, "Are you planning to take some back with you later? I've never seen anyone so shameless!"
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to interfere in our family affairs? Besides, this is my own older brother. I came empty-handed, so what?"
Jiang Shuixian, a young woman, lost face immediately after being spoken to like that. Upon realizing she had never met Qin Niangzi before, her voice suddenly became shrill.
"Who am I? I'm your great-aunt! These relatives of the Jiang family are all shameless! I've never seen anything like it in all my years..."
Without even entering the courtyard, Qin Niangzi stood at the gate and recounted all the things the Jiang family had done. Some of the details were unknown to the villagers, and everyone listened with a sigh.
Some people previously thought that Jiang Changtian's son had gone too far in dividing the family property, but now it seems that there's no point in dividing the family property at all. If it were them, they would simply sever ties.
They also learned about Qin Niangzi's identity; it turned out she was the aunt of the Lin family, who had come specifically to support Lin Shuyun and would be staying at the young couple's house for a while.
Wang, who had originally planned to join the crowd, saw the situation and didn't dare to step forward, so she secretly ran away again.
Let whoever wants to go, go ahead. She doesn't want to get beaten up again; she's going to find her dog brother.
Lin Shuyun tied up the donkey cart and came out, asking in a low voice, "How did you know about these things, Aunt?"
Madam Qin rolled her eyes at her and said loudly, "You good-for-nothing! You've been bullied like this and you're still saying nice things. How could the Lin family raise such a cowardly daughter like you!"
Jiang Shuixian shouted, "These were all done by other people, what does it have to do with me? I didn't bully my older brother, why are you scolding me!"
Qin Niangzi said sarcastically, "Yes, it has nothing to do with you. You're deaf and blind, but now that you're watching your older brother take the imperial examination, your illness will be cured!"
Several women burst into laughter, and some even echoed Qin Niangzi's words.
That mouth of hers is really something.
Jiang Shuixian was still a young woman, and when she was humiliated by Qin Niangzi, she turned around and ran away.
One of the onlookers couldn't help but ask.
"Jiang Changtian, is it true that your sister said the top scholar received two shi of grain and ten taels of silver?"
This is what the villagers are most concerned about. If it's true, then going to school is really great!
Jiang Changtian was just about to say that the silver and grain hadn't been distributed to the academy yet.
Qin Niangzi raised her voice and said, "It's true! My niece's husband is thinking of the villagers, so he used the ten taels of silver to buy pastries and insisted on sharing them with everyone!"
Lin Shuyun's basket contained flaky mooncakes.
The land allocated to Xinghua Village has been distributed, but it's difficult to allocate land to Hewan Village.
A scholar's reputation is very important. Jiang Changtian's previous family division incident still had some impact, and Lin Shuyun had taken this into consideration.
It's definitely not because I've had enough mooncakes and don't want to eat them anymore.
They were all very excited when they heard that Jiang Changtian had something good for them.
Some people were curious. "What kind of pastry is this? Is it made of gold? And it costs ten taels?"
"Whether it's made of gold or not, everyone should try it and see. There are so many families in a village! If we buy other things, it won't be enough to go around. My nephew-in-law has gone mad. His family is so poor, his house is so dilapidated, and when he has money, he doesn't spend it on himself, but on his wife. He wants to give it all away!"
Qin Niangzi raised her voice and began to wail, "My Yunniang, what a miserable life she has!"
