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

He must have been a top scholar in his past life!

How could such a skill be lacking?

Jiang Zhiwan was about to speak when she saw her two younger sisters-in-law carrying brand-new shoes. The shoes looked familiar, as if they were the ones she had brought with her as part of her dowry...

Jiang Zhiwan quickly grabbed the two children and said sternly, "Why are you wearing my shoes?"

She kept those shoes locked in the closet; she couldn't bear to wear them herself.

The fabric in the dowry was used to embroider just two pairs of shoes, each stitch meticulously crafted.

Her mother even took her to a temple to pray for her peace and good fortune; this was a precious item that had been blessed with incense!

I was thinking of wearing it to impress others when the time came.

It was actually taken away by Xu Ping'an's two skinny sisters?

Xu Ping'an is an only child, but he has two younger sisters. Jiang Zhiwan had never taken them seriously before, but she never expected them to be so presumptuous now!

The two teenage girls burst into tears when they saw Jiang Zhiwan's stern expression.

He said, "Auntie's things belong to the family. We're all family, so why can't she wear them?"

Jiang Zhiwan slapped him across the face: "Shut up!"

"My dowry is mine! You dare touch any of my dowry items?"

Before she could even fully display her power, Xu Ping'an's mother arrived, standing before Jiang Zhiwan with her large, plump figure.

Grabbing Jiang Zhiwan's hair, he said impatiently, "You're really too presumptuous! How dare you touch your sister-in-law."

"Jiang Zhiwan, when you came to our house, I made you stand in the rules. Now, have those rules gone to waste?"

Jiang Zhiwan felt extremely wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Mother, they're wearing my shoes. My family put a lot of thought into giving them to me. My sister doesn't even have any."

"So what? You're a member of the Xu family now, what's wrong with me wearing your shoes?"

"Are you feeling wronged? From now on, you and Ping An will live together. You're the older one, so what's wrong with giving in to the younger one?"

"You begged and pleaded to marry my son, and now you're bullying our family? What's going on?" Mrs. Xu stood up straight, utterly disgusted. "It was hard to say before. Now everyone knows the filth your family has done."

"A deliberate marriage arrangement? You'd actually do something like that. You've got your eye on my son!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiwan felt uncomfortable, but she could only endure it.

"If you want to be a good daughter-in-law under me, you'd better keep a low profile. These are family property, what's yours and mine? These shoes belong to our two kids."

"..." Jiang Zhiwan clenched her fists. "Can't I even ask?"

He was nowhere near the swearing man he had been just moments before.

Standing in Xu's mother's position, she could just see her son coming downstairs, probably disturbed by the noise.

He immediately knelt down before Jiang Zhiwan, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Oh dear! What am I, an old woman, supposed to do?!"

"I'll apologize to you, isn't that enough?"

"Why do you always blame it on the two pairs of shoes? I'll give you my life, are you satisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping'an quickly came over, pulled his mother aside, and said with great surprise, "Mother, why are you kneeling before your daughter-in-law?"

"Get up! What kind of scene is this?"

Xu Ping'an is a very filial person.

Jiang Zhiwan knew that Xu Ping'an was a person who loved her dearly. If she had married Xie Shuheng in her previous life, she would never have dared to speak like that.

Now, clutching Xu Ping'an, her eyes filled with tears, she said, "I didn't mean for Mother to apologize. It's just that my aunt wore my dowry."

"Ping An, as you know, I gave you all the money I brought as part of my dowry. It was all for your own good."

"I raised the money to open my own teahouse myself. But now..."

Xu's mother cried out loudly again: "What a tragedy! What do you want me to do? I've already knelt down and you still want to complain to my son? Do you want me to die?"

Xu Ping'an ignored Jiang Zhiwan and rushed over to help his mother up. He also began to feel distressed: "Why would Mother say such a thing?"

"If a son is not free from his wife's duties, it is an act of filial impiety."

Then Xu Pingan looked at Jiang Zhiwan with annoyance in his eyes: "Why are you so stingy with things that belong to the family? My sister is also your sister, how come she doesn't deserve your things?"

"I thought you were different from others, but now I see you as just another woman who only knows how to calculate. Aren't you the same as anyone else?"

"Fine!" He seemed utterly disappointed. "I apologize to you. I apologize on behalf of my sister and mother. What do you think?"

"..." Jiang Zhiwan was a little stunned. "This is not what I want you to tell me these things."

"Then what else do you want?"

Xu Ping'an was completely fed up at this point.

Jiang Zhiwan didn't dare to say anything. She felt wronged and stifled, but she couldn't utter a single word.

Then he said, "Fine, I don't want the shoes."

She reluctantly walked over and stood in front of her angry husband: "I was wrong, my husband."

Her voice was gentle as she soothed him.

Having succeeded, Xu's mother stopped making a fuss and took her two daughters out first.

Xu Pingan looked at her and said, "Don't argue with your mother anymore. It makes things very difficult for me. As a wife, it's my duty to be filial to my parents."

"I don't want to see this chilling side of you."

"I was wrong, my husband," she cried. "It's because I only wanted to leave my dowry for you that I got a little emotional."

That's true; almost all the money from her dowry and bridal gifts ended up with him.

"It's alright. You're just a young woman, you can't manage money properly. Once your teahouse starts making money, give it to me and I'll help you plan your finances."

"Okay." Jiang Zhiwan was overjoyed. She felt that her husband loved her the most.

It was also with him that Xu Ping'an would speak to her softly and gently, and they could discuss their future together.

The main reason is that Xu Ping'an will also become a great person in the future.

He would never take a concubine; that was the case in his previous life, and he only had Jiang Zhiyun by his side.

In this life, she will walk in Jiang Zhiyun's place.

Even now, when she's being bullied by Xu's mother, she's enduring it all. She'll bear it for as long as she can!

"My husband, use that money to buy books and live a good life. I'm telling you, you'll definitely pass the exam. Don't worry about farming anymore. Okay?"

"My lord is good at everything he does, and he must be the best at studying."

Xu Pingan originally wanted to decline, but after hearing Jiang Zhiwan say that he could do anything, his pride got the better of him and he decided not to decline: "Then I'll go study for the exam and give it a try."

"Listen to you."

"Hmm!" Jiang Zhiwan nodded, finally managing to persuade him to go back to school.

"Take this teahouse, for example. Didn't you say before that you didn't agree with me going into business? Now, in the village, isn't everyone envious of it?"

"When the time comes, as long as you study, everyone in the village will respect you."

"Even Jiang Zhiyun and her husband, who are extremely arrogant. Once you become powerful enough, you can deal with those ants directly, right?"
