The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Guo Chen was very unhappy. "Hey lady, even if he's a test taker, aren't we all test takers? Do we act like him? Who doesn't want some peace and quiet?"

"Yes, yes, our Brother Jiang only works for one hour a day. Just bear with it, and I'll take care of all your clothes. I promise I'll wash them spotless for you."

Guo Chen remained silent, and Liu Ya continued, "You are all scholars, you don't have that much time to do these rough jobs. I have time, I can do it, but please bear with it for an hour."

Unable to contain her curiosity, Du Mingxian also came out and stood at the door, watching the two people in the courtyard.

The sound of reading continued from the house next door, showing no sign of stopping, nor any embarrassment at disturbing others, as if everything in the world was irrelevant to them.

Guo Chen remained silent, while Liu Ya continued to handle the matter with the best attitude.

To sum it up in one sentence.

I can help you with things, but you have to tolerate my brother Jiang studying.

Before the matter in the courtyard could be resolved, a woman dressed exquisitely emerged from the middle room of the east wing. She merely glanced at them and continued walking out.

The door to the room near the entrance also opened, and an old woman came out with a look of disgust on her face.

"Making so much noise so early in the morning, do they really think this is their own home? With so many people living in the yard, don't they have any shame?"

Liu Ya didn't get angry at the curses from others. She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Auntie, our Brother Jiang is used to staying at home. We can't let him stop studying just because he lives outside."

"Who in this courtyard isn't a scholar? Don't you even look around? Is it just your family that insists on studying, while everyone else doesn't? Are you just being pretentious?"

The old woman waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, make him stop. My son is also a test taker. He studied until midnight last night, so I can't let him not get enough rest."

“Auntie, there’s nothing we can do about it. We all live in the same courtyard. It’s your business if you stay up late, and it’s our business if we get up early. You can’t do this to us.” Liu Ya’s words were indeed a bit unreasonable.

The old woman was furious. "We all rent rooms in the same courtyard. Do you know what it means to not disturb others? And you say it so self-righteously. We go to bed late, but we don't disturb you. It's fine if you get up early, but if you get up early and disturb us, you have no manners. And you call yourself an educated person?"

Guo Chen then spoke up, "If you don't stop, we'll all go together to the homeowner and kick you out. We can't let your family disrupt the peace and quiet of the whole courtyard."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, the door to the east wing opposite Du Mingxian's room opened, and a man in his twenties walked out of the room, yawning.

Her hair was messy and unkempt; it was obvious she had just woken up and hadn't even bothered to tidy herself up.

Not bothered by details.

"What a disturbance so early in the morning." After saying this, the man quickly walked towards the backyard, where the outhouse was located.

The old woman persisted, "Make that man in your room stop right now, but he won't. I'm rushing into your room right now."

"No way." Liu Ya stood at the doorway with both hands outstretched, her gentle smile gone. "Our Brother Jiang can do whatever he wants. You're meddling in everything, and you can't even control what other people do, like reading or talking. If you're so capable, just move out if you don't like it. What are you pretending for here?"

The old lady was also protective of her son. Just now, her son said that the noise was unbearable. Seeing Liu Ya's assertiveness, she rushed forward in a few steps and said, "You little rich girl, your own family is making noise and you still act so self-righteous. I'll beat you to death today."

Liu Ya didn't give an inch. When the old lady rushed up, she confronted her directly.

Both men were from the village and were quite strong, so for a time they were evenly matched.

Seeing that a fight had broken out, Du Mingxian originally didn't want to get involved. At this moment, the door to the main room opened, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old walked out, looking aggressive.

"Shut up, all of you! It's so noisy! Can't a person have some peace and quiet?"

Perhaps the girl was too imposing, for the two men stopped fighting at the same time and turned to look at her simultaneously.

The girl's face was very ugly. "If you study so hard without considering others, you won't become a good official even if you pass the exam. What kind of trash are you? Making noise in the yard so early in the morning. If you can stay, stay; if you can't, get out."

"You say scholars need peace and quiet, but I think you're the ones who know the least about peace and quiet. It's one thing to talk, but to read so loudly, do you really think you're children just starting out in school?"

Perhaps feeling unsatisfied, or perhaps out of sheer anger, the girl rushed directly to Liu Ya's room door while the old woman and Liu Ya were still struggling.

One foot inside the door, one foot outside the door.

Pointing at Jiang Liting, he cursed, "Are you dead? Didn't you see your family members outside, arguing with others because of you, and you didn't react at all?"

"You've wasted all your education! You think you can pass the exam? Do you think God is blind?"
