After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.
Chapter 97 I Want to Have a Son
The mountains are secluded, and few villagers come here.
So now that it's raining, resting in the cave is quite nice. She looked around, remembering the route she took to get here, and carefully memorized the surrounding herbs.
She wanted to calculate whether she could find more herbs if she continued to go further in.
Once the rain stops, I expect a lot of termite mushrooms will emerge from the ground. The mushroom buds will open one by one, and you can walk in, following the fresh scent of the mountains.
Picking mushrooms makes me feel much better.
Before the rain stopped, Jiang Zhiyun saw Jiang Zhiwan rushing into the mountains, looking quite disheveled.
With a basket on his back and a few red-fruited leaves in his hand, upon closer inspection, they looked very similar to ginseng, but the roots were just weeds.
Jiang Zhiyun looked at her leisurely. She glanced over and saw Jiang Zhiyun.
She clenched her fists and stormed over, yelling, "Why do I keep seeing you whenever I come up the mountain? Jiang Zhiyun, you're like a persistent ghost!"
“I know you’re jealous of me and envy me for everything, but now I’m even following you up the mountain. Jiang Zhiyun, have you no shame?” Jiang Zhiwan crossed her arms and began to berate her younger sister.
Actually, she hasn't gotten used to Jiang Zhiyun's changes yet, and still thinks of her as the younger sister who used to boss her around.
"By the way, judging from the dates, Xie Shuheng went to Teng County, right? It's not easy to stay in the military camp there. Even if Xie Shuheng doesn't want you in the future, he's having a tough time himself these days."
"Jiang Zhiyun, what good do you think it will do you to become his wife? You'll be killed sooner or later. You're just jealous of me because you don't have a husband's favor, and you want to learn from me!"
"Let me tell you, Xu Ping'an can only be mine for the rest of his life. You have no chance with such a wonderful man."
In the past life, Jiang Zhiyun was powerful; in this life, she must firmly grasp Xu Ping'an's grasp.
"Someone like Xu Ping'an is only treasured by you."
Yunniang raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "Eldest sister said I envy you? I've never understood what I envy about you."
"I envy your good life, that's why you come here looking for ginseng. I envy how much your husband loves you, but you've never changed your clothes. It's even worse than at home?"
“Your husband’s family is poor, so they have to squeeze money out of your parents. Now, my sister is the most famous in Yongquan Village, no one can compare to you.”
Jiang Zhiyun spoke these words with a humble and studious attitude.
Then, as if remembering something, Yunniang continued:
"Or perhaps I envy my elder sister for not being able to have children, and I have to secretly come to the mountain to find herbs."
Jiang Zhiyun pinched her chin, as if she was thinking.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiwan's face was very unpleasant. She even pulled her clothes closer with her hands, looking very uncomfortable.
After she married Xu Ping'an, she indeed didn't make any new clothes, nor did she earn any money; instead, she was in debt.
These were the wounds in her heart, and now that Jiang Zhiyun had spoken them out in such a sarcastic way, Jiang Zhiwan became even angrier.
"So what? I came to the mountains to find herbs, hoping to give birth to a son for our family as soon as possible."
She looked at Jiang Zhiyun with pity: "You'll never have the chance to experience the joys of marriage in your life. As for children, don't even think about it."
“Yunniang, don’t be stubborn. Your elder sister knows all about your suffering.”
Anyway, Jiang Zhiwan felt that the path she had walked and the hardships she had endured in her past life must be reflected in Jiang Zhiyun two or three times in this life!
"Jiang Zhiyun, if you help me find herbs now, I might be able to give you a meal when you're desperate in the future!"
Sometimes, Jiang Zhiyun admired her confidence.
The teahouse is almost bankrupt, and Xu Ping'an hasn't even started studying yet. How can he expect to pass the imperial examination so easily?
I don't know if she's being stupid or naive.
Jiang Zhiyun didn't want to pay attention to it and went straight into the cave to sit down. It was still drizzling, so she wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhiwan grabbed her hand and started to go crazy: "I've been looking for so long, how come I can't find ginseng? Last time you just casually picked up a ginseng."
"Jiang Zhiyun, what exactly are your skills? Tell me now!" she glared at Yunniang.
Jiang Zhiyun wasn't idle either: "I can tell you, you know how precious ginseng is. Give me two taels of silver, and I can take a look at your problem with having children."
Jiang Zhiwan was actually somewhat tempted.
She had previously thought Yunniang was incompetent, but she had also seen her selling ginseng and digging up medicinal herbs for Doctor Su in town. Although she didn't want to admit it, Jiang Zhiyun was indeed capable.
She's in a hurry to have a child to appease her mother-in-law, so giving away a tael or two of silver is no big deal.
Anyway, I borrowed another ten taels from the gambling den.
Borrowing money is a bottomless pit; once you start, it seems like you become dependent on it. It feels like you can't live without it.
However, once the teahouse becomes profitable, it can definitely be given to the gambling den. So even though Jiang Zhiwan hasn't made any money yet, she doesn't care about money at all; she already has a grand vision.
So even though Jiang Zhiwan was stingy, she still handed Jiang Zhiyun two ounces.
Jiang Zhiyun accepted the money, then looked at the medicinal herbs in her hand:
"If you want to have a child, you should look for ginseng and rehmannia root."
“Use ginseng to replenish qi, and rehmannia root to replenish blood. Nourishing both qi and blood simultaneously, balancing yin and yang, will regulate the body,” Jiang Zhiyun said, looking at her. “But this is also for conditioning the body. If you really want a child, why not have your husband conditioning himself as well?”
Jiang Zhiwan asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
"I dug up a stalk of Rehmannia glutinosa and a ginseng that's about five years old. I just dug them up. Here's two taels of silver for you."
Jiang Zhiyun was also generous; anyone who paid her was a customer.
Although Jiang Zhiwan is foolish and a bit crazy, Jiang Zhiyun is happy to make money off her.
Jiang Zhiwan quickly accepted it, and then tried to sneak down the mountain: "Do you think I can get pregnant if I eat this?"
Not afraid of Jiang Zhiyun's ridicule, she was too embarrassed to see a doctor these days, so she asked as many questions as she could.
"The doctor should have told you that if there's nothing wrong with your body during this pregnancy, then it's the man's problem. As for having a boy, that has nothing to do with you."
"Eating this now is also good for your health. You're as strong as an ox and have a rosy complexion. You don't need to take any more supplements."
Jiang Zhiyun didn't make any definitive statements. Mainly because Xu Ping'an was just a pretty face with no substance; he was weak and frail, and even lazy.
He has been pampered by his mother since childhood, and now she is unwilling to take care of him. How can this be acceptable?
Jiang Zhiwan felt that Yunniang must be jealous of her to say that.
Xu Ping'an had children in his past life! So nothing unexpected will happen in this life.
She wants to have a son; once he's born, he'll be the Xu family's treasure.
As for your daughter, don't come either.
She doesn't want to keep idle people at home.
