After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

Of course, the scholar's wife did indeed come to the Jiang family.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a brother-in-law like Dong Jin later on, but the real excitement came when Madam Dong finally met her future daughter-in-law.

Those eyes, wide open like a goldfish, made Lin Yueniang glance at them repeatedly. What was wrong?

Although her daughter isn't a stunning beauty, she's still a pretty and well-mannered young woman. What does that expression mean?

Madam Dong wasn't dissatisfied with Jiang Xiwen's appearance; she was shocked that her savior had become her prospective daughter-in-law!

Oh my god, my dream has come true? I just said that, and today I've received such a big surprise!

What kind of girl needs chastity? Can chastity save a life?

The gleaming knife seemed to still be flashing before his eyes. He quickly glanced at his future daughter-in-law before he felt at ease.

Don't worry, her family will have a martial arts master from now on!

Jiang Xiwen was naturally quite surprised. She was already seventeen, and it was indeed time for her to find a partner.

But the thought of not being able to wield weapons after getting married makes me feel empty.

Now that the Dong family has come to propose marriage, they haven't brought up what happened that day, and seem to be ready to continue negotiations...

Could it be that Madam Dong is an enlightened woman who doesn't mind women wielding swords and spears?

If that's the case... then this marriage might not be so bad?

After exchanging a brief greeting, Lin Yueniang dismissed her daughter, but Madam Dong seemed somewhat reluctant to leave, which Lin Yueniang found increasingly strange.

Marriage arrangements cannot be finalized overnight. To show sincerity and to maintain the bride's family's modesty, they always have to visit the bride's family again before a preliminary agreement is reached.

During this time, Lin Yueniang could also ask her daughter's opinion.

Unexpectedly, her own daughter was quite straightforward, directly telling her mother everything about her chivalrous act that day.

"No wonder! Well, this place is really good."

Judging from Madam Dong's behavior today, she didn't seem to think her daughter wasn't from a respectable family at all; her eyes were practically sparkling with envy.

They couldn't wait to snatch Wen'er back as their daughter-in-law. The young man from the Dong family was already a scholar at a young age and was quite ambitious.

Judging from the appearance and height of the Dong couple, their son wouldn't be too ugly or short. It's quite rare to find a scholar with decent looks and open-minded parents.

Most importantly, their own daughter had saved those two people's lives. As long as Wen'er didn't make any big mistakes after marrying into the family, she would definitely live a happy life.

After all, whether the parents-in-law are good or not, and whether they accept their daughter-in-law, is sometimes more important than the husband's love and has a greater impact on a woman's quality of life.

Lin Yueniang thought about it for a while, and of course she also talked to her daughter. Jiang Xiwen also thought it made sense. She felt that if her younger brother were at home, he would also agree to the marriage.

After all, her younger brother always told them not to compromise themselves in marriage and not to worry about whether the other person's family background could be an asset to him.

After all, truly capable people don't need the help of in-laws; without ability, even the most powerful in-laws are useless.

The Dong family was not prominent, but Scholar Dong was still young. There were no more than thirty scholars in Xinghe Prefecture who were under twenty years old and unmarried.

Of these thirty, some who are not good-looking will be eliminated, and some who have troubled families will be eliminated. The remaining ones are the best of the best.

That's how Jiang Xiwen's marriage was arranged. Jiang Xiaoqi finally learned about her brother-in-law's background from her mother...

How should I put it? Well, could it be considered half a free-choice relationship?

It's just that it wasn't between the parties involved in the marriage, but rather the parents of the parties and the woman's fairy who met unexpectedly, which can also be considered a kind of fate.

Even without that act of helping out, the two families would still have formed a marriage alliance, since the Dong family had entrusted the scholar's wife to them first, and then the Dong family encountered danger.

The reason the Dong family encountered danger was because of their son's marriage. If it weren't for the need to purchase a presentable dowry, the Dong family wouldn't have gone on such a long journey.

The relationships between the two families are now so complex that it's hard to say whether it's fate or misfortune. In any case, the two families have become entangled and bound together.

Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound, the marriage was arranged, and both sides were very satisfied.

"I see. It seems some things are destined by fate."

"Sigh, who can disagree? Your eldest sister is also very lucky. After she got married, her parents-in-law treated her extremely well, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they treated her like a daughter."

"That's good. On the way home, I kept thinking about it, wondering if anyone would call me 'uncle' when I got back."

Lin Yueniang smiled. It had been a long time since her son had snuggled up to her like this and spoken intimately. When her son was younger, she hadn't felt anything special.

Now that her son is growing up, he still snuggles up to her and talks to her like this. She doesn't think he lacks manners; she just thinks he's different from everyone else.

Unlike other children who are annoying, restless, and prone to causing trouble, her son is considerate, steady, and cares a lot about his sisters.

This concern is not based on status, but on genuine feelings.

"No one calls you uncle now, but it won't be long. Your sister will give birth in about six months, and when the baby is a little over a year old, he will definitely call you uncle."

That means that in less than two years, a little kid will be calling him "uncle," which makes Jiang Xiaoqi feel a little strange.

Sigh, he's lived two lives, and this is the first time he's been an uncle; she's never even been an aunt before!

"Yes, son, wait. However, he has to go south with his master, so I'm afraid he won't be able to wait until my nephew is born. I estimate that by the time I return home, my nephew will already be running all over the yard!"

"Alas, a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. Your mother will not stop you, but..."

"Just what?"

"Your second sister is also looking for a husband right now. Could you wait until she gets engaged before you leave?"

"Yes, my second sister is seven years older than me and is now sixteen. I wonder if Mother has a family she is interested in?"

"Sigh~" Lin Yueniang sighed, "With your grandfather and father both being scholars, and with your reputation as a top scholar, people will naturally come knocking on your door."

But not everyone is as good-natured as Dong Jin, and not every family is as easy to get along with as the Dong family. Your eldest sister married happily, but with your second sister, things naturally can't be so easy.

Otherwise, if the two sisters get married and one is happy while the other is unhappy, they will become a contrast. The two sisters have a good relationship now, but it is inevitable that they will develop rifts in the future due to the hardships of life and comparisons.

Being a mother is hard enough. Lin Yueniang wanted to arrange her second daughter's marriage and then let the young people live their own lives. She packed her bags and went south with her son!

The remaining illegitimate daughters are not yet of legal age, and even when they do, their parents-in-law can take care of them.

Lin Yueniang also wanted to see the famous mountains and rivers, and to see the world around her.
