After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

These were all things Jiang Zhiyun had expected, after all, she had lived the same way in her previous life.

Xu Ping'an's parents are difficult to deal with, but Xu Ping'an is at least reasonable. If Jiang Zhiwan manages things well, life won't be too difficult.

However, none of this has anything to do with Jiang Zhiyun.

She smiled and said, "Aunt Hong, things aren't going well at home right now. My husband and I are just trying to make the best of our situation. We really can't worry about my elder sister's side."

"That's right." Aunt Hong took a bite of the noodles, finding them incredibly delicious, and gave a thumbs up. "Yunniang, these noodles are so good! There's even chicken-of-the-woods mushroom in them?"

"You even found such a rare mushroom! Let me know when you go mushroom picking another day!"

Jiang Zhiyun nodded: "It would be perfect to be with Aunt Hong."

"To be honest, is your spouse still sick?"

"You should keep this in mind. You and Zhiwan got married on the same day, but Zhiwan boiled water three or four times a night, while you never did that..."

"These days in the village, most people say your husband is no good. He's all looks and no substance, but he's useless."

"..." Jiang Zhiyun paused, unsure how to defend her husband.

After all, based on my experience from my previous life, Xie Shuheng might actually be all looks and no substance.

As his wife, it was only natural for her to protect his self-esteem.

"Aunt Hong, don't listen to the nonsense the neighbor aunties are talking about."

At this moment, Aunt Hong ignored what she was saying and hurriedly went inside to look for them, then came out with two water chestnuts.

"This is fox nut. Take it back and stew it with yam and lotus seeds until it's soft. Give some to your husband every day. It's quite effective."

Jiang Zhiyun felt a little embarrassed. Gorgon fruit is a seasonal vegetable with a sweet and astringent taste, and it has the effect of tonifying the spleen and kidneys.

Eating this stuff is indeed good for your health, though it's not entirely related to that aspect.

Furthermore, since it was difficult to refuse, Jiang Zhiyun simply took her home.

-

Yongquan Village, Xu Family.

In broad daylight, Jiang Zhiwan leaned slightly to the side, resting her head on Xu Ping'an's chest.

Xu Ping'an was very satisfied; he was extremely pleased with his wife.

It can be said that Jiang Zhiwan, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, is well-known in the village for her virtue and talent, and is also a very suitable person to be a wife.

Now she has not only become Xu Ping'an's wife, but she is also extremely open about consummating their marriage.

She can be described as virtuous and kind in public, and at home she is always ready to help others.

Nowadays, many women would avoid this during the day, but she understands him and is willing to be his confidante.

Having tasted the sweetness of marriage for the past few days, he couldn't bear to be far from her at all.

Xu Ping'an used to work in the fields for long periods of time and also did odd jobs outside, earning a good amount of money, so he was naturally in good health.

Jiang Zhiwan wrapped her arms around him, looking like a little bird clinging to him: "Husband, when I was at home, my parents always treated my younger siblings well, and I, as the eldest sister, was always neglected. Now that I'm married to you, I always dream that you don't want me."

"How could that be?" He straightened up. "Zhiwan, now that I've married you, I will definitely protect you and give you the best respect in the future."

"Although I am not as rich as others and my house is currently empty, everything I have will be yours. I will work harder to farm and do manual labor occasionally. As long as it is something I can do, I will earn money for you."

Xu Ping'an made a solemn promise.

Thinking about how his wife had a hard life in the past, he knew he must never let her suffer in the future.

“Now that my mother is making you stand in the proper order, I naturally feel sorry for you. But it’s for your own good, Zhiwan, so you shouldn’t hold a grudge.”

"..." Jiang Zhiwan didn't care about these details.

This Xu mother must have treated Jiang Zhiyun badly in her past life. Later, when Jiang Zhiyun started earning money on her own, she managed to completely subdue that person.

She believed that as long as she made money and could get Xu Ping'an to listen to her completely, she would achieve twice the result with half the effort.

No rush, she couldn't let Xu Ping'an continue to have the idea of ​​farming.

So she snuggled closer to Xu Ping'an and hugged him even tighter: "Husband, I think you could try something different? Farming might be a dead-end job for life. Why don't you start studying for the imperial examinations and I'll go into business and support your studies?"

"Then I will be the richest woman, and you will become the top scholar in the imperial examination and be granted an official title."

These are things that haven't even happened yet in the future!

She was already excited when she said it, and was even lost in her own fantasies, not noticing that Xu Ping'an's expression was off.

He was about to continue talking to himself when he realized that Xu Ping'an had moved a little further away.

His face was usually stern, but now that he was putting on a cold face, he looked rather indifferent: "Why does my wife speak like that?"

"Who would go into business unless absolutely necessary?"

“We are of good birth, why should we lower ourselves to do things that are considered lowly? You stay at home to be a good wife and mother, and we will take care of the sons we have.”

"As for me, I've never been cut out for studying. Now I'm strong and capable, and those frail scholars who study aren't even half as healthy as me."

"I never want to hear those words again!"

After saying this, he got up, dressed, and left without even glancing at his wife, whom he had been holding earlier.

Jiang Zhiwan felt wronged, but she also knew that saying more at this moment would only make things worse, so she simply kept quiet.

Enough, we'll just have to plot in secret.

What Jiang Zhiyun did in her previous life, she can naturally do as well!

It's only a matter of time now.

But now... there's still the matter of tomorrow's homecoming visit.

Seeing her husband walk to the door, she immediately said aggrievedly, "Husband, I was wrong about what happened just now."

"But we need to prepare gifts for the bride's return visit tomorrow. I wonder if you have made any preparations..."

Xu Pingan turned to look at her: "Zhiwan, the family has already spent all their money to marry you. I'm thinking of not preparing a return gift for tomorrow. I'll go with you."

"Isn't having me with you more valuable than those empty formalities?"

“Yes, that’s true,” she said sweetly.

In her past life, when she married into the Xie family, Xie Shuheng didn't even come, so he won't be coming tomorrow either.

When the time comes, with her husband by her side, she'll have enough to laugh at Jiang Zhiyun.

Jiang Zhiyun, that idiot, married into the Xie family; her life will probably be miserable.

These past few days, the village has been filled with gossip about Jiang Zhiyun, as well as various rumors about her husband's impotence.

I need to comfort this younger sister properly when I get back.

As for the return gift, there won't be one this time. We'll just have to appease our parents properly. After all, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles.

Xu Ping'an is broke now, but the Xu family's life will definitely get better in the future!

Looking at the two taels of silver she received when she got engaged, Jiang Zhiwan realized she needed to earn more to start her business.

She also felt that doing those small businesses and setting up stalls was shameful, and what woman would do those things?

Didn't Jiang Zhiyun own a very prestigious teahouse in her past life?

She remembered the exact location, and now she was focused on saving enough money to take over the teahouse.

When the time is right, it will definitely become a huge hit.
