Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 45 Curiosity killed the cat
Lin Shuyun sat on the stool and watched Jiang Shoutian hug Jiang Changtian and cry for a long time.
While we're at it, let's sharpen the sickle.
Jiang Shoutian finally managed to stop crying after being persuaded by Jiang Changtian, and then turned to ask Lin Shuyun, "Eldest daughter-in-law, I heard you're collecting apricots in Xinghua Village and making them into dried apricots to sell?"
Xinghua Village is not far from Hewan Village, so the news spread quickly, even through distant relatives. In the past two days, the news has been circulating throughout the village.
Lin Shuyun said expressionlessly, "Hmm, does Dad also sell apricots?"
"No." Jiang Shoutian was a little embarrassed, then turned to look at Jiang Changtian. "Now that you look better, you should come back and live here, so that the villagers won't gossip."
These words made Lin Shuyun laugh inwardly. Why wasn't she afraid of being gossiped about back then?
Now that everyone is better, are they going back to live there?
Jiang Changtian was silent for a moment, then said, “Father, I am already married. It’s not good for too many brothers to squeeze under one roof. This little courtyard has been renovated and will be my and Lin’s home from now on.”
Before Jiang Shoutian could speak, Jiang Changtian added, "I'm going to study in a couple of days."
"You're still going to school?"
After his initial surprise, Jiang Shoutian looked troubled. "With the second son in the family like that, supporting another student might be..."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll provide for you."
Lin Shuyun lowered her head and tested the sickle; it was very sharp.
Jiang Shoutian's face turned ugly. "That's not what Father meant... Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing holding up a sickle?"
Seeing Lin Shuyun's aggressive demeanor, Jiang Shoutian subconsciously asked a question.
"My two new quilts were stolen, and my house was ransacked. I'm going to find the thief and chop her up!"
As Lin Shuyun was about to leave, Jiang Shoutian hurriedly stopped her, blushing as he said, "Your sister Shuixian took it; she loves new things."
"Take it?" Lin Shuyun sneered.
Jiang Shoutian felt a little embarrassed. "Eldest daughter-in-law, please don't hold it against me for the sake of your father and eldest son. I'll give you the money later, and you can buy two more beds. How about that?"
He only discovered Jiang Shuixian's actions yesterday and gave her a severe scolding.
He was told to return the bedding, but that spoiled brat refused and wouldn't give it back no matter what he did.
Lin Shuyun turned her head and saw Jiang Changtian looking troubled, but she was also very decisive, "Okay, pay up!"
Jiang Shoutian's face flushed red and then turned pale; he had no money on him at the moment. He had borrowed two taels of silver from the village chief to pay for Jiang Lao Er's leg treatment and hadn't paid it back yet.
Jiang Shoutian could only look awkwardly at his son, hoping that Jiang Changtian would say a few kind words.
A daughter-in-law is an outsider, but a son can always understand his difficulties.
Jiang Changtian said calmly, "Father, let's divide the family property."
Lin Shuyun looked at Jiang Changtian with some surprise as soon as he said this.
At that time, people believed that the family should not separate while both parents were alive. If a family separated, it would inevitably be the subject of gossip.
"Boss, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Shoutian's eyes were hurt, and he felt bad too.
Jiang Changtian looked directly at Jiang Shoutian without flinching. "Father isn't a fool. He understands that dividing the family is better for everyone. Father is still father. It wasn't easy for his son to escape death. He doesn't want to be worn down to the point where even the last bit of family affection is gone."
Jiang Changtian's gaze made Jiang Shoutian seem to lose all his energy.
"This matter... this matter, please allow me to think about it."
After saying that, Jiang Shoutian walked away with his head down and back hunched over.
"Aren't we going to take our blankets?"
Lin Shuyun raised an eyebrow at Jiang Changtian, holding a sickle.
“I doubt you’d want it back anyway, so let’s take this opportunity to split up.” Jiang Changtian looked up at Lin Shuyun, then lowered his eyes again.
"Those are your own parents, how can you bear to part with them?" Lin Shuyun threw down her sickle, took two steps forward, and leaned closer to see Jiang Changtian's expression.
Jiang Changtian instinctively leaned back, lost his balance, and fell backward.
Lin Shuyun wrapped her arms around his waist.
Their eyes met, and before Lin Shuyun could speak, pure energy threads flowed through her body.
After Jiang Changtian steadied himself, his ears turning red, he pulled away Lin Shuyun's restless hand from his waist. "I can't always let you suffer with me."
Lin Shuyun stared at him and smiled, "With such a handsome husband, how could I be wronged?"
Just as they were about to take advantage of the situation further, a cat meowed from the top of the wall.
"Coal Ball, you're back?"
Lin Shuyun turned her head and saw Coal Ball jump down from the wall and run to Lin Shuyun's feet, meowing.
Lin Shuyun squatted down and patted Meiqiu's head. "Meiqiu, your sister has to go out for a few days. Can you stay at home? Or are you coming with me?"
Coal Ball: Meow~ Okay, okay, I miss my sister.
Jiang Changtian chimed in, "It's better not to bring it. It's inconvenient to bring a cat. There are a lot of people in the county town, and it's easy for it to get lost."
Lin Shuyun thought for a moment, "You're right. I'll take you to my parents' house for the next few days, and Hongwen will feed you."
Coal Ball turned to look at Jiang Changtian.
The man and the cat stared at each other, and Coal Ball cursed filthily.
……
……
After staying at home for one night, Lin Shuyun took the coal ball up to the Lin family home and entrusted it to Lin Hongwen for care.
Then, he spent the whole night rushing to turn all the apricots into dried apricots, packed two sets of clothes, and went out with Jiang Changtian and Old Man Xu.
First, go to the town to deliver the dried apricots, and then go to the county seat.
This time, the shop assistant at the dried apricot shop obediently accepted the money and paid.
"Uncle Xu, wouldn't it be better if you stayed at my house? It's so sunny here."
On the way to the county town, Lin Shuyun saw that Old Man Xu was covering himself up completely with a large straw hat, and she was speechless.
Old Xu even claimed that he was afraid of getting a tan.
Who would believe that a man nearing seventy is afraid of getting a tan?
"You silly girl, have you forgotten how I make a living off you? Wherever you go, I'll naturally follow." Old Xu lay comfortably on the donkey cart.
Jiang Changtian slowly spoke, "Uncle Xu, why don't you ask me what happened to my face?"
Old Xu had seen what his face looked like after it recovered, but after Lin Shuyun from the Lin family painted it for him, it looked different again.
He originally thought that Old Man Xu would ask in private, but he hasn't asked yet.
Old Xu sat up abruptly. "You brat, you insist on telling me even though I didn't ask? What do you have to do with this old man?"
"Do you know how I lived to be seventy? It's just that I'm less curious and spend my time eating and sleeping."
Including the mountain goddess who saved him that night, if he wants to live a good life, he has to learn to shut up.
Curiosity killed the cat; he's lived his whole life and he still understands this simple truth.
Jiang Changtian: ...
Lin Shuyun, who was rushing to catch the carriage, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Upon arriving in the county town, the place was bustling with activity, far surpassing the lively atmosphere of the town.
Looking at the bustling county town, Old Xu suggested, "Let's find a place to rest first, and then you two can go directly to Mishan Academy to ask."
Lin Shuyun nodded and went to the entrance of an inn, where she told Jiang Changtian and Old Man Xu to go down first.
As a result, Jiang Changtian was surrounded by people while he was just locking up the car.
