Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 121 Connected Together
"Ma Xiuhua, what nonsense are you spouting? I'll tear your mouth off!"
Xu let out a howl and pounced over.
It's no wonder Xu was agitated; any family that had such a shameful incident would be unable to hold their head high in the entire village.
The third aunt was holding her two-year-old grandson when Xu almost caught him.
The third aunt instantly flew into a rage, shoved her grandson into the hands of Qin Niangzi, who was watching the commotion with great enthusiasm, and immediately started fighting with Xu Shi.
"Stop! Stop! Don't you know how shameful this is?"
The village chief stomped his cane several times in anger.
These old women are like a bunch of old hens, he's really fed up with them!
Xu grimaced, clutching the spot where she had been pinched. "This isn't my fault, village chief. How can my second son hold his head high in the village after she spreads such rumors about Wang?"
"Was I spreading rumors? I'm stating the facts. Ask anyone in the village who doesn't know about Wang and Zhao's affair!" Third Aunt straightened her clothes, her demeanor unyielding.
She was taller and stronger than Ms. Xu, and didn't suffer any disadvantage.
"What's all the fuss about? I told you not to come, and what did you do now!"
Jiang Shoutian was summoned by his third aunt's daughter-in-law to take Xu Shi home.
He didn't go out and didn't know that Xu had gone to the village chief's house to make a scene early in the morning. When he found out, he was furious. Was it really necessary to make such a fuss over making some snacks?
Xu was really going all out today, and pushed Jiang Shoutian out.
"Why are you pulling me like this? You poured your heart and soul into sending this ungrateful wretch to school, and now he's passed the imperial examination and become a successful scholar, but he doesn't even acknowledge you as his father! He didn't even bring back ten taels of silver to support his parents; he just gave it all away like that. I can't swallow this insult!"
When Xu heard that she had spent ten taels of silver on some lousy pastries and then shared them with the villagers, she was so heartbroken that she almost fainted.
Jiang Changtian stepped forward and helped Jiang Shoutian up, then said coldly, "I studied so that I could pass the imperial examinations and bring prosperity to my fellow villagers. If Mother wants to sue me for being unfilial because of this, go ahead and do so!"
The villagers who were watching the commotion were all moved by Jiang Changtian's words.
So Jiang Changtian has such lofty ambitions!
That makes sense. According to the old folks in the village, Gaojiazhuang once produced a scholar who passed the imperial examination. Because of that, everyone looked up to Gaojiazhuang, and the villagers walked out with their heads held high.
Jiang Changtian is a Xiucai now. If he passes the Juren exam and becomes an official, won't their Hewan Village rise in status along with him?
Jiang Changtian is an honest boy. He's willing to spend ten taels of silver to buy things and share them with the villagers, which shows he's not ungrateful. It's a pity he had such a mother.
Many people brought up how the Xu family had treated Jiang Changtian in the past.
The village chief couldn't help but sigh, "What a good child! How did he end up with a mother like you!"
“Shoutian, take your wife home. Stop making a scene. Your son is doing well, so you're proud of him. Why can't you understand?”
Xu sat down heavily on the ground and refused to get up. "I'm not going back. The family owes so much money, I can't make a living like this. Wang and his wife are my son and daughter-in-law, they have to support me! Even if we separate the family, they still have to support me!"
Xu was lying on the ground throwing a tantrum. She had heard from others that the two of them ate and drank well and brought back lots of things to the Lin family, but they didn't show her any respect.
She wants all the money and everything, or else she can forget about getting up.
Jiang Shoutian became furious and took off the soles of his shoes. "If you don't reply, I'll beat you to death!"
Xu started crying with a loud scream, "Hit me, hit me! If you have the guts, kill me today, kill me and it'll all be over! My family's life has become like this, I don't want to live anymore!"
Ten taels of silver! The thought that this money was hers made her not want to live anymore!
Jiang Shoutian was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, but he hesitated to bring down the shoe sole in his hand!
Just then, Niu Da, the village cart driver, stood at the door and shouted.
"Old Jiang, stop making a scene! Your daughter-in-law, Wang, and Zhao Gou are inseparable. They've been taken to the village entrance. Go check on them quickly!"
"Huh? What do you mean by 'connected'?"
Mrs. Xu didn't react for a moment and asked blankly.
"Have you ever seen dogs strung together like that? Hurry up, or you might lose your life!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately scattered and ran towards the village entrance.
Qin Niangzi, holding the child in her arms, ran after them with her eyes shining, while Third Aunt chased after them.
Looking at the courtyard that had suddenly become deserted, Lin Shuyun and Jiang Changtian exchanged bewildered glances.
Lin Shuyun spoke up, "Husband, shall we go and take a look too?"
That sounds amazing!
"I'd better not go; it might give me a sty."
Jiang Changtian remained silent for a moment, then looked at her and said, "Yunyun, thank you so much. If you hadn't prepared the pastries in advance, things might have turned out badly today."
"You're my husband, you've already given me ten taels of silver, why are you being so formal? I'm going to cook." Lin Shuyun didn't mind, smiled and went into the kitchen.
Anyway, she doesn't like those mooncakes, and there are still three large boxes in the space.
It's too much for my family to finish, so I might as well use it to make Jiang Changtian famous.
Jiang Changtian gazed alone at the distant mountains, his eyes filled with sorrow.
……
……
The village entrance was already crowded with people.
Wang and Zhao were wrapped in a quilt, one on top of the other, their faces full of terror. When Wang saw someone coming, she kept hiding under the quilt.
But the blanket was only so big, it couldn't cover her head or her buttocks, and her plump body was really easy to spot.
This morning, when the two were stealing, Zhao Gou's other lover came in with a kitchen knife and tried to kill them. They were so frightened that they couldn't separate.
That lover was quite something; he just brandished a knife to scare people, and then he started shouting on the spot, attracting the attention of everyone in the village.
The more anxious the two became, the more inseparable they became, attracting much attention and providing a spectacle for onlookers.
Zhao Gou's face contorted in pain, and his fellow villagers, seeing this, feared that something was wrong and someone might die.
Someone recognized Wang as being from Hewan Village, so they simply wrapped the two of them in a quilt, pulled them together in an oxcart, and dumped them at the entrance of Hewan Village.
Niu Da, who usually drives carts to transport people in the village, discovered it and then came to tell Jiang Shoutian and Xu Shi.
"Bitch!"
Xu, who had run over, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the two of them.
Jiang Shoutian felt dizzy and his head was spinning. If the person behind him hadn't caught him, he probably would have hit his head on the ground right there.
Wang and Zhao were so frightened that they struggled to hide. The two rolled around and rolled out of the quilt. The sight was enough to give anyone a sty.
Mrs. Xu was furious and picked up a rock the size of a human head, intending to kill the two people on the spot.
The two were terrified. With a quick "pop," they finally separated. Zhao Gou, ignoring the pain, grabbed the blanket from the floor and ran away.
The men were egging them on, and the women couldn't help but cover their eyes. They thought to themselves, "No wonder he's called Zhao Gou (Zhao the Dog), he really does look like a dog!"
Xu, who was about to kill someone with bloodshot eyes, was stopped by the village chief's men.
Previously, those caught doing this would be drowned in a pond. Now the imperial law has changed, and private courts cannot be set up. The village chief is still here, and we absolutely cannot let anyone die, otherwise the imperial court will investigate.
"Make the second son write a letter of divorce and divorce this slut!" Madam Xu wished she could pounce on him and kill him. After what happened, this daughter-in-law could never set foot in their house again.
The village chief directed the village women to throw away a tattered bed sheet, which Wang, who was barely able to cover herself, wiped her face and looked at Xu.
"Mother, why are you blaming me? Jiang Lao Er is impotent, and you're the one who made me go to find a sperm donor! Maybe I'm already carrying your Jiang family's grandson!"
