Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Thirty taels of silver as a gift.

A cow was given as part of the dowry...

The price of cattle has now risen to thirty taels.

Grandma Jiang half-closed her eyes, pretending to doze off.

Jiang Yunhu and his wife glared angrily at Chu Yu and Jiang Yunyan.

Jiang Qiao'er cried even harder...

Putting aside the fact that she didn't want to marry, her aunt actually wanted to marry her without spending a single penny.

Anyone who hears this would be heartbroken!

Lu Qingyao suppressed her smile. "Big sister, brother-in-law, have you inquired about the current price of cattle?"

“It’s only twenty taels!” Jiang Yunyan blurted out.

"Twenty taels! That was the price years ago. Now it's thirty taels of silver..."

Jiang Yunyan's expression darkened slightly, showing no remorse. "So what if it's thirty taels! There are plenty of cases where the bride's dowry is more than the groom's betrothal gift. Giving too little would be like selling our daughter!"

Chu Yu chimed in, "We gave quite a lot; we even gave a few extra taels of silver!"

Xiuxiu clenched her fists, glaring angrily at Jiang Yunyan and her husband, wishing she could go up and slap them.

Although it was my first time visiting the Jiang family's main courtyard, I couldn't stand seeing people being bullied like this.

Moreover, it was family members bullying each other.

Suddenly, I felt someone hold my hand and pat it lightly.

It's my older sister...

Lu Qingyao laughed, "Elder sister, putting aside the fact that you want to get a daughter-in-law for free, that cow shouldn't even belong to you... I bought it for thirty taels of silver, and asked my brother and sister-in-law to feed and take care of it for me. I don't know how you ended up taking a liking to it?"

"Also, your brother and mother still owe me several dozen taels of silver for medical expenses and house renovations. Why don't you pay them off for them first, and then we can discuss marriage?"

Lu Qingyao was certain that her sister-in-law knew nothing about family matters.

I haven't seen her since I arrived in Taoxi Village.

If Liu Yuniang hadn't mentioned it to her, she would have thought Jiang Yunhu was the eldest son in the family.

Jiang Yunyan couldn't sit still any longer and jumped up: "How is that possible! Didn't you pay back my brother one hundred taels of silver? How could I owe you money? Besides, weren't those cartloads of bamboo shoots shipped to Jiangzhou money?"

Liu Yuniang glanced at Lu Qingyao, understanding immediately.

I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law anymore. I've been holding back for years, and today I'm going to have a serious talk with her.

“What’s a hundred taels? You’ve only come back to your parents’ home a few times over the years. Don’t you know that after your brother injured his leg, he couldn’t do any work outside. At his worst, he was bedridden. And then there’s your mother…”

"Don't you know how expensive medicine is? Don't you know how high the interest rates are for landlord Liu's family?"

"And that oxcart, and that bamboo shoot business—are they ours? They belong to someone else's younger brother and sister-in-law..."

Jiang Yunhu, who had been showing signs of improvement, became even more lame. He got up and limped over to his wife to comfort her.

The family of three embraced and wept bitterly.

Jiang Yunyan was stunned, her face turning pale.

Didn't every household in Taoxi Village make money?

It shouldn't be like this!

All that effort for nothing, and I even spent money hunting geese...

They must be lying to her. And this Lu Qingyao, isn't she supposed to be an abandoned woman? How come she's so rich?

We're all family, we can't skimp on money!

“Sister-in-law, look, we’re all family. My brother is in this state, you have to help him. Besides, his leg was crippled because of your husband, you should at least compensate him something…”

Lu Qingyao's expression immediately changed, and she snorted coldly, "What a joke! I've already been kicked out by Jiang Yunze, what do his family have to do with me? I'm calling them 'elder brother' and 'elder sister-in-law' now only because we're neighbors. We're now creditor and debtor, and they're working for me to pay off my debts."

really!

It feels pretty good to be the bad guy.

Jiang Miaomiao stared blankly at her mother. Perhaps because her mother was the daughter of a military family, she looked really fierce when she put on a stern face.

If she hadn't seen her mother still gently rubbing her little hands, she would have thought her mother was angry.

She stared intently at her aunt's face.

When my aunt started scolding people, the crow's feet and nasolabial folds around her eyes became even deeper, and the makeup got stuck in them.

When she laughs, her tears fall in a flash.

Jiang Miaomiao wondered if it would also fall into her bowl while she was eating...

I remember that cosmetics in ancient times were mostly made of lead powder, which is poisonous. I wonder if my aunt was poisoned.

Turning my head, I saw my two older brothers leisurely eating sunflower seeds, having simply picked up a plate of them.

He looked like a bystander watching the show.

Qiao'er stopped crying and sat obediently beside her mother, with something stuffed into her mouth by a baby.

Sweet...so sweet!

Jiang Yunhu stood there, stunned, completely unable to react.

Instead, Liu Yuniang reacted quickly, stepping forward to grasp Lu Qingyao's hand and saying, "Sister-in-law, my husband can't repay that much money in a short time by pulling the cart for you. How about letting Qiao'er work for you for a few years to pay off the debt..."

Jiang Yunyan's face turned deathly pale. "What? To pay off debts!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunyan and her husband became anxious.

The daughter-in-law he'd finally got is about to run away...

Jiang Yunyan turned around and walked to Old Madam Jiang, wiping away her tears. "Mother, say something! Didn't you just agree to Qiao'er marrying Mingyuan?"

Grandma Jiang's mouth was half-open and half-closed, and after a long while she finally managed to utter a sentence, "It's a marriage arranged by parents and matchmakers, I can't control that... Ah! I'm dizzy..."

Immediately afterwards, the old lady was seen holding her forehead and groaning, completely ignoring her pleas.

Lu Qingyao smiled. Sure enough, she was someone who had relied on her husband and son her whole life and was used to a comfortable life. She was very good at reading people's expressions...

Jiang Yunyan was furious when she saw her mother's fickle attitude.

Pointing at Lu Qingyao, he cursed, "You vicious woman! Birds of a feather flock together. You and Jiang Lao Er are birds of a feather, both ungrateful bastards!"

His gaze fell on Jiang Yunhu's face. "And you, you spineless coward, I will never have a brother like you again!"

Jiang Yunhu ignored her and carried his mother back into the house.

"Elder sister, please go back! Take your betrothal goose back with you, we can't afford to accept it..." Now that the pretense has been broken, Liu Yuniang is no longer afraid of her.

He snatched the fruit from Chu Mingyuan's hand and said, "Nephew, go home with your parents. You're not welcome here!"

Chu Yu ignored his wife and children, and left with a sullen face, carrying the cage.

Because his goals have changed, staying here is a waste of breath.

Isn't Jiang Lao Er's wife rich? How can she possibly keep a group of women and children by her side?

Let's see how long she can be so arrogant!

After her husband left, Jiang Yunyan didn't dare to stay any longer, because she saw the square-faced woman glaring at her fiercely.

It was as if they wanted to devour her whole.

"You brat, still eating! Don't you know how to say a word for your mother?" Seeing her son walking with his mouth full of food, she became even angrier.

With a face like that, not many girls would be interested in him.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have set her sights on the withered Jiang Qiao'er.

Just as Chu Mingyuan was about to leave the hall, he tripped over something and fell flat on his face.

It almost crushed Jiang Yunyan to death!

The matchmaker didn't dare say a word the whole time and secretly slipped away...

The sun gradually sank in the west, leaving only the light cast behind the mountains.

When Jiang Yunyan and her family returned halfway.

The sky darkened.

All that could be heard were the sounds of cart wheels and cowbells.

And then there were the howls of wolves approaching from afar...
