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

Jiang Zhiyun unceremoniously put the money in her long sleeve and took it away, leaving the cloth bag behind.

Then she covered herself with a veil and heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from outside.

The people around looked on with amusement:

"There's no one from the Jiang family here, only the bride. This is going to be interesting!"

"Missing the auspicious time is a lifelong matter. The Jiang family didn't prepare for anything, they probably didn't even pay attention!"

"That's right, at least Jiang Laosan could ask his older brothers to send someone!"

"Let alone Jiang Laosan, the Xie family didn't even come to pick up the bride!"

"I only saw Xie's son's mother, rushing over in a sedan chair."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhiyun paused for a moment, carefully recalling her past life.

I remember it was the same in my past life, except that back then Jiang Zhiwan had her parents backing her up and personally escorting her there. I heard that the Xie family said a lot of nice things about her and promised to treat Jiang Zhiwan well.

In short, Jiang Zhiwan was quite glamorous this time, and Jiang Zhiyun envied her a lot back then. She envied her for always having her parents' favoritism. Now, however, she doesn't care anymore.

Too much disappointment will extinguish hope.

She looked up at her future mother-in-law, who was standing at the door waiting to welcome her. She remembered that her name was Zhang Meiqing. It must be a habit for her to refer to herself as Zhang when she came to this village.

Zhang was nervously fidgeting with her fingers, glancing inside every now and then.

Zhang, Xie Shuheng's mother, seemed a little uncomfortable with the gossip, but she put on a stiff smile. Even though she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, her beautiful eyes still revealed her helplessness.

Jiang Zhiyun noticed that she had a very gentle personality, and thought that it wasn't that her parents had suppressed the Xie family so much in her past life. It was probably just that she was a very gentle person and easy to bully.

According to custom, Zhang could not enter the house without the permission of her elders, and Jiang Zhiyun, as an unmarried woman, could not go out rashly either.

If things remain deadlocked, all we can do is wait for the couple to return, which will inevitably cause us to miss the auspicious time.

After much thought, Jiang Zhiyun decided that it was most reliable for her to go out on her own.

She picked up a round fan to cover her face, strode out, and walked in the direction of Zhang.

Those around her were astonished; they had never seen a bride emerge on her own without anyone seeing her off.

Many people had come to watch the spectacle, but now they were all silent, mostly in surprise!

No unmarried woman has ever been seen in public like this before!

More and more people gathered, chattering and whispering among themselves as they watched the spectacle.

"On the wedding day, it's one thing for the groom not to come to fetch her, but why does the bride have to come out on her own? How can things be good after the wedding?"

"This whole family is a bunch of troublemakers. They're the biggest joke in Yongquan Village!"

"Won't the whole village talk about this Jiang family for the rest of their lives after this marriage?"

Jiang Zhiyun's sharp eyes swept over them, and she spoke clearly: "I was the only one in the house, and I didn't want to miss the auspicious time, so I came out."

"Since you ladies are so worried about Zhiyun, why don't you, as elders among the villagers, come in and help make arrangements? Instead, you're here making sarcastic remarks."

"Or do the aunties have a better idea?"

The gossipy women around them were momentarily speechless, and even began to look at each other in bewilderment.

"Aren't you Jiang Laosan's sister-in-law? Why don't you go and help her?"

"You're still Yunniang's cousin! Why are you ordering me around now..."

As they talked, they themselves felt ashamed, after all, it was Jiang Laosan's family's business, what did it have to do with them?

Offering to help will only lead to trouble.
