After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.
Chapter 195 The Battle to Protect My Brother-in-Law
Jiang Xiwen also glanced at her husband. What was he worried about?
Worried that Dong Jin wants to take a concubine? Haha, I'd give him two lives.
Jiang Xiwen was just watching the show; as for whether her husband would be unfaithful? Who cares!
Men can't be kept under your watchful eye, and those who can be taken away aren't worth trying to keep.
What are you afraid of?
Jiang Xiwen could accept the worst outcome. Her younger brother had told her more than once that if she felt unhappy or wronged, she should go back to her parents' home, and he would take care of her for the rest of her life.
Mother was right. Their younger brother was their source of strength and their support.
As for her husband? That depends on whether he's sensible or not. If he isn't, she can just take her son and get a divorce. Who can't live a life without a divorce?!
Dong Jin inexplicably felt a chill on the back of his neck. Was he not dressed warmly enough today?
Turning his head, he saw that his wife had also gotten out of the car, and hurriedly ran over: "Wife, it's a mess down there, don't let her touch you."
Jiang Xiwen raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? Is that so? I thought it would be a bother to you if I came down."
"Get in my way? No, my wife. I'm a head taller than you. Even if you stand in front of me, you won't block me or affect my enjoyment of the show in the slightest."
So you're saying I'm short?
"No, no, my wife's figure is just right, and you two look perfect together!"
Jiang Xiaoqi, Jiang Xiyue, and Jiang Lan'er were speechless for a moment, and felt like they were the eyesores of the big candle.
I really want to get away from this couple and let them flirt and banter on their own!
Jiang Xiwen rolled her eyes at Dong Jin, "All you do is try to make me happy."
Dong Jin chuckled and took Jiang Xiwen's hand, saying, "My wife, this is the truth."
Well, Jiang Xiyue felt that her worries were really unnecessary. Looking at her brother-in-law's worthless appearance, it was simply unbearable to look at.
Instead of worrying about his doting brother-in-law, he should worry about his fiancé. Hmph, he's standing so close to that woman—is he trying to buy her out of sheer kindness?!
Hmph! I don't want to watch anymore, I want to go back to the carriage.
This time it was Jiang Lan'er's turn to be anxious. Her future brother-in-law was getting too close to that woman. Wasn't he afraid that his second sister would be angry?
Oh dear, she's such a worry! My second sister has such a temper; once she's angry, she's hard to appease. How come her future brother-in-law is so clueless about people's feelings?
"Little brother, what should we do? Why don't you go and call your senior brother over? Look at Second Sister's face, it's changed."
Jiang Lan'er felt that getting off the bus was the right thing to do. This family would fall apart without her. Why are they all so troublesome?
What kind of commotion is this? Is it really necessary to watch?
Jiang Xiaoqi didn't think her senior brother was that stupid. "Don't worry, Third Sister, my senior brother isn't that kind of person."
Jiang Lan'er stamped her foot, "We can't just stand by and watch! Besides, people change. That woman looked so pitiful and frail, it's hard to guarantee that your senior brother wouldn't feel sorry for her!"
Just then, Jiang Xiyue suddenly smiled, a hint of cunning in her eyes. She took light steps and walked towards the kneeling woman.
Everyone was stunned. Was a fight about to break out? Oh my god! Stop them quickly!
Jiang Xiaoqi and Jiang Lan'er naturally followed closely behind, fearing that a bloody incident might occur.
Jiang Xiyue walked up to the two men, gently took her fiancé's arm, and said sweetly, "Third Brother, is this young lady in trouble? We must help her."
Li Haisheng was taken aback when his fiancée called him "Third Brother," and for a moment he didn't understand what Jiang Xiyue was up to.
However, if Yue'er wanted to play, he naturally had to cooperate; he couldn't expose his playful fiancée in front of everyone.
In contrast, the pale-faced, weak and pitiful woman kneeling on the ground, who had been on high alert when she first saw Jiang Xiyue, clearly relaxed after hearing the words "Third Brother".
This very beautiful young lady turned out to be the younger sister of this wealthy young man. Thank goodness, she wasn't his fiancée or sweetheart or anything like that, otherwise her act would have been much more difficult.
Especially since this young lady seems quite naive, she might even become her helper, allowing her to successfully hook up with a wealthy young master and become a young mistress.
At that time, she will also treat her sister-in-law well...
Jiang Xiyue had no idea that her words had caused this innocent girl to overthink so much, but of course, she didn't care.
A fiancé is just a fiancé, not a husband. Even if he were a husband, a husband who has changed his heart can be thrown away and fed to the dogs.
Jiang Xiyue turned to the woman and said gently, "Don't be afraid, young lady. We will definitely help you through this difficult time. How much silver do you need to bury your father?"
The woman blushed, seemingly embarrassed, but still uttered a number that left the onlookers speechless.
This girl is incredibly audacious! Five hundred taels of silver—is she going to build an imperial tomb?!
What kind of father is so precious? He probably never even saw five hundred taels of silver while he was alive! Is this a coffin made of Phoebe zhennan wood? Tsk tsk tsk, is this a father's funeral? Or is this some kind of scam?
The woman regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth, forgetting that there were so many commoners around. If it were just the wealthy young man and his sister present, there would be no problem at all. She knew best that these noble people didn't value money.
Five hundred taels of silver is about the same as five coins for a poor person, right?
"Young lady, you used to live in the mountains, didn't you?"
Li Haisheng asked a seemingly nonsensical question, which startled the woman kneeling on the ground. What kind of question was that?
Shouldn't they take out the silver, hand it to themselves, and then help them up with their sister, taking them back to their spacious and comfortable carriage to settle in?
"No, we don't live in the mountains. My father and I depend on each other for survival. We live in a village outside the city and make a living by farming."
"Oh? So you make a living by farming? I thought you had some connection with those mountain bandits, otherwise why would you ask for hundreds of taels of silver for passage right off the bat?"
Li Haisheng said these words with utmost seriousness, and Jiang Xiyue and the others struggled to suppress their laughter. At this moment, they believed that Li Haisheng had not been lustful or fickle.
"Young master! How could you say such a thing about me! I am a daughter of a good family, how could I be with bandits... Waaah~ Young master, you've gone too far."
Wow! He's really getting into acting!
Jiang Xiaoqi knew it was time for him to make his appearance. After all, he was just a child, so it was okay for him to be a little naive, right?
"Huh? But that's strange, sister. You said you make a living by farming, but your hands don't even have any calluses. What do you usually use to farm?"
Why are your hands different from the hands of the tenants in my family? Their hands are calloused from working in the fields year after year.
And your skin is so white, it's like you never see the sun all year round. Doesn't farming mean facing the yellow earth with your back to the sky? Why haven't you gotten a tan at all?
"Oh my! Are you perhaps a fairy from a picture book? Do you use magic to grow crops?"
Xiao Baihua's face turned even paler, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.
The poor scholar who had first offered to help bury his father spoke up again: "Oh, what do you know, you little kid?"
There are always some naturally beautiful people who, even when faced with life's hardships, can remain untainted by adversity.
Jiang Xiaoqi felt like vomiting. How is this sentence used?
This book is a complete waste of time; no wonder he's in his mid-twenties and still a poor scholar.
No, that's not right! This scholar is strange too!
