Reborn as a devoted sister-in-law, she leads the entire village to prosperity.
Chapter 8: The mother and son's schemes have backfired spectacularly!
“That Scholar Xu is truly shameless. He probably knows that our family has caught a fully grown wild boar, but you didn’t send it to him, so he couldn’t help but come looking for us.”
Wu Zhuxiang said disdainfully, then seemed to remember something and quickly looked at her sister-in-law's expression.
Seeing that she looked perfectly normal, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't shocked. I never expected that my sister-in-law, who was so infatuated with Xu Xiucai, would actually change her mind and give up.
Wu Zhuxiang was overjoyed. As long as her aunt was sober and no longer confused, it would be a great blessing for the family.
That way, she'll have hope for the future, and maybe she really will be able to send her son to school so he can pass the imperial examinations and achieve official rank.
Fusheng said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, you are right. That Xu scholar is shameless, even though he is a scholar."
"When my aunt stopped paying attention to him, she even insulted my grandfather, saying he could only be an old scholar for life. Humph, if my son can go to school, I will definitely slap him in the face in the future."
"He only passed the imperial examination at the age of sixteen. What's so great about that? I'll pass it when I'm twelve and show him what I'm made of."
Fu Sheng clenched his fist and said angrily, then, as if remembering something, he hurriedly went to look at Yu Banxia.
Yu Banxia smiled helplessly. Why did this mother and son always have to look at her face after they finished speaking? She wasn't going to eat them, okay?
When Fusheng saw his aunt looking at him with a smile, he chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head.
"Auntie believes in Fusheng, he can definitely do it. Auntie is waiting for you to make me proud and slap that Xu scholar in the face." Yu Banxia pinched Fusheng's cheek.
Fu Sheng smiled happily when he heard Yu Banxia say that.
"He hasn't even started school yet, where is he going to take the imperial examinations?" Wu Zhuxiang's words contained a hint of resentment.
Yu Banxia didn't hold it against her; it was because of her that her nephew hadn't been able to go to school.
She never blamed her sister-in-law for her occasional sarcastic remarks; her sister-in-law was only thinking about her son's future, which was understandable.
Given her past life, she was indeed somewhat foolish and muddle-headed, so it's no wonder her sister-in-law acted this way.
“Sister-in-law, I promised that I would make sure my nephew goes to school as soon as possible. Please believe me.”
Yu Banxia looked at Wu Zhuxiang intently. Seeing how serious she was, Wu Zhuxiang nodded subconsciously, and Yu Banxia smiled happily.
Wu Zhuxiang smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law believes that Xiaxia can do it."
After all, it's only been a few days, and she's already brought such a big wild boar home. My sister-in-law must really be a lucky star.
Even after such a major incident, the King of Hell didn't take her and even gave her this special ability. What else could it be but divine favor?
Wu Zhuxiang also believes that as long as her sister-in-law is no longer confused, and the family works together towards a common goal, things will definitely get better and better.
"I must say, the method you just taught me seems to really work; this meat smells amazing." Wu Zhuxiang gestured for Yu Banxia to look at the meat cooking in her pot.
Yu Banxia smiled and said, "This soy sauce won't do. When I learn how to brew soy sauce, I'll cook it again. Then you'll know that it's not in its best condition right now."
There's also rock sugar, which doesn't exist in this time and space, but it's available in her space. With this variety, she can make even more rock sugar.
There are so many things she can do.
Yu Banxia was already itching to make a big splash in her previous life's world.
Before her rebirth, she was an orphan. Her parents died in an accident when she was three years old, and her grandfather died of illness when she was fourteen.
After that, she single-handedly supported the large family and led her people forward step by step.
Later, she gained access to a space, acquired many elixirs and prescriptions, and learned ancient medical techniques. With the help of other traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she finally enabled traditional Chinese medicine to reach a new peak in her era.
Yu Banxia firmly believes that as long as she is willing to work hard and her family supports her, her Yu family will no longer have to live a hard life.
As night fell, bonfires were lit, and the aroma of meat filled Anping Village.
Those villagers from other villages who were lingering on the sidelines, seeing that the people from Anping Village really had no intention of inviting them to eat meat, felt embarrassed to continue staying.
Some left, their faces flushed, while others snorted with displeasure: "Anping Village is something else! They got such a big wild boar, and the whole village is eating the meat, but they didn't even think to share it with everyone so that we could all share in the joy."
"Hey, you stubbornly refuse to go home and cook, yet you want to eat meat and share in the festive atmosphere? Who do you think you are!"
"What good can someone from your village be, someone with the character of Scholar Xu? You'd better get out of here, or I'll be bringing a broom to you."
The woman speaking was also Yu's aunt, who was within five degrees of kinship.
Seeing that the woman was serious, the man muttered curses and walked away.
"Come on, come on, let's eat meat!" Wu Zhuxiang shouted loudly as meat and dishes were served, creating a lively atmosphere.
……
Xiaoxu Village.
Xu Xiucai returned home in a sorry state, his face ashen.
Lady Ji had just returned from outside. She supported Scholar Xu by washing clothes for others.
Later, after Yu Banxia, that gullible man, came along, the mother and son's lives improved a bit. They saw that the son's face was ashen and he looked disheveled.
He hurried over and asked, "Son, what's wrong?"
"Didn't they say the Yu family hunted a big wild boar? How come I didn't see any meat in the kitchen? And you've come back looking so dejected?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiucai's face turned even more ashen.
"Mother, don't mention Yu Banxia again." Hearing her son's resentful words, Madam Ji quickly asked for the reason.
After hearing this, she also got angry.
"What a shameless little slut! You were the one who came to me, and you still dare to insult me?"
"Hmph, as if anyone cares about her wild boar meat."
“However, son, you have reminded your mother that this little wretch has suddenly changed so much because she is making a fuss about demanding money for you to take the imperial examination when she goes back.”
"Then, after she woke up, you didn't go to visit her, and that's when she got angry."
"She's a little vixen, but her mother has plenty of ways to control her."
Xu Xiucai looked at Ji Shi and asked, "Mother, do you have any ideas on how to avenge your son?"
"Hmph, she just feels that she has been paying you for two years, but you still won't agree to marry her. As for the son, she was willing to commit suicide to force her fourth sister to become a concubine for a wealthy man in order to give you money for your trip to the imperial examination."
"We can't keep fishing like this. Why don't we find a matchmaker to go and propose marriage?"
"But we won't exchange birth certificates. Once we have the travel expenses, and you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, are you afraid that your teacher won't marry his daughter to you?"
Xu Xiucai's eyes lit up: "Mother, you mean we should first lure Yu Banxia with a marriage agreement, and then after I pass the imperial examination, we can break off the engagement or smear Yu Banxia's reputation, and the marriage can be canceled in the process, right?"
"Yes, isn't this verbal marriage agreement what she wants? Let's give it to her and get the money first."
"With this marriage contract in place, let's see how Mother deals with her."
"Even if we marry her, what then? Aren't there plenty of stories in novels and plays about top scholars being chosen as sons-in-law by high-ranking officials in the capital?"
“He’s just a nobody from the Yu family, how dare he go against the officials?”
Ji's eyes were full of calculation, and Xu Xiucai became more and more excited as he listened.
