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

Lin Shuyun slept until lunchtime.

This time, she dreamt of herself, not someone else; to be precise, she dreamt of the original Lin Yunniang.

In the dream, Lin Yunniang was killed by Jiang Lao Er on the very day she married into the family. During her fierce resistance, she hit the back of her head on the ground and died on the spot.

When Jiang Lao Er saw that the person was dead, he was so frightened that he ran away.

When Jiang Changtian woke up in the house, Lin Yunniang was already dead. He was now also known as a jinx to his wives, making his situation even worse.

The Lin family came to make trouble but got nowhere. Instead, they were extorted for money by Madam Xu, who claimed that she had committed suicide.

Her spirit lingered, following Jiang Lao Er. Whenever she saw him doing bad things, Lin Yunniang would reach out to strangle him.

Incidentally, I also saw that the Lin family in my dream didn't have a good ending. Lin Hongwen didn't study, Lin Hongzhi returned from the Lu family and didn't marry the person he loved, and Lin Dahai died of illness at a young age.

One day, Ms. Li suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Just as Lin Shuyun was about to continue reading, Lin Yunniang in her dream suddenly said two words.

Thank you.

The scene suddenly blurred, and Lin Shuyun woke up.

However, she was a little confused when she woke up. Why would she have such a dream? Could it be that Lin Yunniang came to her dream to thank her?

If she hadn't transmigrated, all of these things would have happened. The only thing she couldn't understand was why Madam Li had suddenly disappeared.

Unable to understand, Lin Shuyun simply stopped thinking about it.

"Yunyun, get up and eat quickly! Auntie is going inside!"

Hearing Qin Niangzi's voice calling from outside, Lin Shuyun opened the door to the room.

Qin Niangzi and Xu Laotou were both outside.

Old Xu looked bored. "Girl, let's go back. There's nothing fun in this county town. It's more fun to go to the mountains and catch rabbits."

It was already deserted, but after hearing that the prefect had run into trouble, there were hardly any people walking around outside, making it even more deserted.

Their trip was completely pointless.

"Let's go back then." Lin Shuyun quickly washed her face and told the old man to drive the carriage.

The checks were even stricter when leaving the prefectural city.

Meanwhile, I overheard some news: the prefect's beloved concubine had also died. It was said that she was pregnant and accidentally fell, resulting in the death of both herself and her unborn child.

This was within Lin Shuyun's expectations, so she did not take Guo Zhen's life herself.

"Old man, do you know anyone in the higher-ups?" Lin Shuyun was thinking about Jiang Changtian's student status at this moment.

Prefect Xu didn't have the ability to get a school registration; having connections at higher levels makes things easier, and it seems he'll have to pull some strings.

Old Xu's eyes darted around. "What 'higher-ups'? Girl, what are you trying to do?"

Lin Shuyun looked at the old man driving the cart ahead, wearing a big straw hat, and said, "Never mind, let's go back and eat."

Qin Niangzi reminded, "Go back to the county first and bring them along, then go back."

Jiang Changtian, Xiao Qing, and the three children that Lin Shuyun rescued are still in the county.

Jiang Changtian found out as soon as Lin Shuyun left.

He and a few others also disguised themselves and left, needing to get back before Lin Shuyun.

……

countryside.

They were having dinner in the Jiang family courtyard, eating thin porridge and cornbread.

Jiang Shoutian was hunched over, looking much older than before. Xu Shi next to him slammed a plate of salted radishes onto the table.

Jiang Laosan remained silent for a while before speaking.

“Father, Mother, I’ve found out. Xiaohua said she only wants four taels of silver as a betrothal gift. She needs to buy medicine for her mother. Once the silver is given, she can marry into the family. If we can hold a banquet, we can; if not, a simple one will suffice.”

Xiao Hua was a girl from the neighboring village whom Jiang Shoutian asked through a matchmaker to meet Jiang Laosan.

She was an honest and hardworking person, three years older than Jiang Laosan. Her father died early, her mother was on medication, and she had a younger brother who was also quite young. So, Xiaohua had been neglected until she was quite old.

Madam Xu's face was scathing. "No, no, with her looks, she's just a big, burly woman. She's worth four taels of silver? At least Madam Lin was pretty and literate, and she only got two taels of silver. She's not worthy of that!"

"They say their mother is sick, their younger brother is too young to do any work and they have to take care of him. Marrying this young woman would just mean having several more burdens. They're dreaming! Keep dreaming!"

“Mother…but apart from Xiaohua, no one else is willing to marry me.” Jiang Laosan lowered his head.

He had met Xiaohua. Although she wasn't pretty, he was quite satisfied with her; she was someone he could live a comfortable life with.

"Why is no one willing? Isn't Widow Wang from the next village willing? At least Widow Wang has a house and doesn't ask for much in dowry!"

As soon as Xu finished speaking, Jiang Shoutian slammed his fist on the table and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? That widow Wang is almost thirty, a full ten years older than the third son. Besides, she's not a decent person!"

Several nearby villages all knew that Widow Wang's place was a brothel; who would dare marry a woman like that?

Madam Xu was still stubbornly arguing in a low voice, "So what if he's a little older? He can take care of people when he's older. How can he not be able to live a good life? As long as I can get a wife who can provide me with hot soup and hot meals, that's fine. It's better than asking for four taels of silver!"

With the family in such a state now, Jiang Shoutian has taken over the household management, and it's unclear if he's lost his mind. He beats and scolds her at the slightest provocation, and Xu Shi is quite afraid of him.

Jiang Laosan was about to go chop firewood when there was a knock on the door, so he went to open it.

"Is this the Jiang family's residence? Jiang Changtian's residence?"

A carriage was parked not far from the door, and two people stood at the door and asked.

"Yes, who are you?"

Jiang Laosan nodded subconsciously, then lowered his head in fear.

Suddenly he realized he had said the wrong thing. This wasn't Jiang Changtian's house anymore, and his older brother wasn't his parents' biological son.

"Is Jiang Changtian the top suspect?"

Jiang Laosan nodded again.

One of them turned to the person in the carriage and said, "Master, it's the top scholar. It seems this is the right family."

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Shoutian arrived at the door. Seeing that these people didn't look fierce, he mustered his courage and asked, "Sir, what has Jiang Changtian done? Or..."

"I'm just asking around. If I tell the truth, you won't be left with nothing."

Jiang Laosan raised his head and stammered, "This... what does this gentleman want me to say?"

"Tell me about Lin Yunniang, and this silver is yours." The person asking the question took out five taels of silver from his pocket.

Jiang Laosan was stunned when he saw it. If he had five taels of silver, it would be enough for the betrothal gift to marry Xiaohua.

She spoke in a low voice, "Ms. Lin is my sister-in-law. She has been married into the family for less than half a year. Now she lives in the county with my elder brother and rarely comes back to the village."

"Is there anything special about her?"

Jiang Laosan thought for a moment, "She's beautiful and brings good fortune to her husband. Since she married into the family, my eldest brother has become better and better."

That's what the villagers say.

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Xu ran over.

"Pah! She's a jinx, what good is she for bringing good fortune to her husband? Marrying such a scoundrel has ruined our family!"

"Sir, ask me anything, I know everything!"

"Oh? Tell me in detail."

The people inside the carriage lifted the curtain.
