Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

Lin Shuyun was in the yard preparing to unload the five-nut mooncakes from the basket when she heard this. She covered her face, let out a soft sob, and started acting.

“Aunt, please stop. My husband grew up in the village and received a lot of help from the villagers. Now that he has passed the imperial examination with top honors, it is only right that he thinks of everyone.”

Qin Niangzi thought to herself that this girl was clever, not letting her perform a solo act.

When he turned around, he saw that Jiang Changtian's face was full of shame.

Qin Niangzi: Goodness, this young couple is such a drama queen!

Lin Shuyun and Qin Niangzi's words made everyone feel embarrassed.

What kind of care? Not only did they not take care of him, they also gossiped about him behind his back when he was in trouble.

Lin Shuyun took out the mooncakes and said, "Please call out to those who are not here to come and take some snacks. These snacks are expensive, so each family only has one pack. Please don't mind them."

Who wouldn't take something given away for free? Of the more than thirty households in the village, everyone except Jiang Shoutian's family took it.

The women who came all opened the package, glanced at it, and were reluctant to eat it, intending to take it back to their husbands and children at home.

Many of the men opened the package and started eating right there on the spot.

The crust is crispy, and the filling is substantial.

"My goodness! This is full of precious ingredients. No wonder it's so valuable. I've never eaten such delicious pastries in my entire life!"

“I have a relative who works at a restaurant in town. Once he brought us a bag of pastries from that restaurant, but none of them tasted as good as this!”

Everyone who has tried it raves about it.

Now everyone believed him when he said he bought some pastries for ten taels of silver.

Some people thought that instead of giving everyone some cheap snacks, Jiang Changtian should give them money.

Of course, this is just a thought; no one would be foolish enough to say it out loud and offend the scholar.

"I'll trouble you, Auntie, to take these two packets to my father-in-law." Lin Shuyun had counted them all beforehand, and after dividing them, there were exactly two packets left.

If others give one pack, the Jiang family gives two packs; there's nothing wrong with that.

Third Aunt smiled at Lin Shuyun, "Alright, alright, I'll go deliver it right now. You're such a filial daughter-in-law. If it were me, I wouldn't give her anything."

That's perfect. That old woman Xu is wicked. Now that Jiang Changtian has made something of himself, she'll have to go and see him make a fool of himself.

After all the snacks were distributed, it was lunchtime, and everyone left happily. Those who felt bad went home to get more food.

The courtyard was bustling with activity in just one afternoon.

Jiang Changtian and Qin Niangzi didn't even go inside the house; they stayed in the courtyard and chatted with anyone who came.

Qin Niangzi was really good at talking. She didn't know who gave her the melon seeds, but she chatted while eating them. She asked around among the women in the village and found out everything about the Jiang family.

They even knew how Jiang Changtian was beaten by Xu Shi when he was a child.

When Jiang Shoutian was at home, things were fine, but whenever Jiang Shoutian was away, Xu would beat Jiang Changtian.

A woman said that it was the dead of winter, and one-year-old Jiang Changtian couldn't walk yet. He would crawl on the ground, wearing only a thin shirt and barefoot. If someone saw him and said a few words, Xu would pick him up.

There were countless similar incidents. Whenever Jiang Shoutian was not home, it was common for little Jiang Changtian to be beaten and scolded.

These old stories, if no one brings them up, it's fine, but once they are, everyone realizes that Madam Xu is truly ruthless, as if Jiang Changtian isn't her own son.

She never saw her three children be so ruthless, but she just didn't like her eldest son.

Later, Jiang Shoutian sent Jiang Changtian to study and didn't come back for several years. Only then did Xu Shi stop beating and scolding him.

Lin Shuyun overheard this and concluded that Jiang Changtian was definitely not Xu's biological son, so she went to the kitchen to cook.

Whenever I think of a little child who has been abused, I can't help but chop the cutting board loudly.

Damn, I'm so annoyed.

The women who came to chat had changed three times before the courtyard finally quieted down.

All you could hear was Lin Shuyun chopping away furiously, as if she had a grudge against the cutting board.

"Jiang family member, are you home?"

Jiang Changtian was reading in the courtyard and, assuming it was someone delivering something again, casually asked, "Yes, Aunt Caihua, what can I do for you?"

"I've come to talk to your wife. You read your book, you read your book."

The newcomer was a thin, old woman. Jiang Changtian called her "Auntie," but in reality, she was quite old; her eldest son was only ten years younger than Jiang Shoutian.

At this moment, Aunt Caihua looked at Qin Niangzi with a big smile on her face.

Qin Niangzi thought the woman had come to talk to her, but the old woman just nodded at her with satisfaction and went to the kitchen.

What the hell?

"Aunt Caihua, is there something you need?"

Lin Shuyun heard the sound and put the meat into the pot, then put the lid on. There were only chives on the cutting board.

Lin Shuyun wasn't familiar with this person, but she had seen him briefly when she was getting some snacks. However, in the countryside, people only pay attention to what happens around the stove and kang (heated brick bed), and even eating meat can be a topic of discussion.

Sure enough, as soon as Aunt Caihua came in, she stared at the cutting board. Seeing that there were only chives, she lowered her voice and glanced into the yard.

"Changtian's wife, I heard that your aunt is a widow?"

Lin Shuyun asked, puzzled, "Huh?"

Why are you asking about her aunt?

Aunt Caihua didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Your aunt looks young and is quite pretty. It's not easy for a widow's husband to live after she dies. My eldest son hasn't gotten married yet."

“My son is right outside the yard. How about we let them meet and see how it goes? If my son likes her, they can live together, okay?”

Lin Shuyun frowned. "My aunt isn't planning on finding someone else. If you don't believe me, go ask her."

Her aunt is so beautiful, how could any of the men in the village be worthy of her?

"How can a woman live without a man? I'll go and talk to him, and you can also help persuade him," Aunt Caihua said as she went out to go and talk to Qin Niangzi.

Lin Shuyun followed her out. The courtyard gate was open. As soon as she looked up, she saw a man enter the courtyard. He was old and ugly, with a mouthful of yellow teeth. He was pointing at Qin Niangzi and was practically drooling.

"Mother, I've fallen for her! I want her to be my wife!"

Aunt Caihua was stunned for a moment and pulled her son, "Oh dear, son, didn't I tell you to wait outside? Why did you come in so soon!"

She hasn't had a chance to tell us yet.

Aunt Caihua's son stared intently at Qin Niangzi, rubbing his hands together and laughing, "I couldn't wait any longer, Mother, I've taken a liking to her."

"Look, you're a widow too, and I don't have a husband either. We're both getting on in years. If you're willing, why don't you come back with me and start living together?"

Qin Niangzi immediately realized what was happening and spat on the ground.

"Pah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror! Your face is as black as a donkey's, covered in bumps, your features are all crooked, you're cross-eyed, and you have a toad's mouth. If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd seen a ghost in broad daylight!"

"You've got your eye on me? You're like a toad crawling on my foot—it doesn't bite, it's disgusting!"
