Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 55 Cousin
Jiang family, at the dinner table.

Jiang Yihui picked up all the meat and piled it in the bowl to eat.

Zhong Lanhua looked at him lovingly and said, "Is it enough? If not, I'll make some more tomorrow."

Jiang Yihui's expression looked better and he hummed.

Zhong Lanhua also gave him some greasy cabbage: "Eat more. You've lost weight."

Jiang Yihuan picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in Xiao Yanci's bowl.

Today was different from the past; Xiao Yanci also sat at the table. Xiao Yanci was now valued by the Master, and because of him, Jiang Yihui was exempted from paying tuition fees. This forced Zhong Lanhua to value the existence of this "servant."

Zhong Lanhua knew Jiang Yihui was unhappy. She wouldn't be happy if a servant rode on her head and was praised by the teacher as the best in the world.

However, this time, she couldn't go along with Jiang Yihui's wishes. First, she could be exempted from tuition fees, something many students dreamed of. Such a great opportunity wouldn't be a waste. Second, if Xiao Yanci really had such talent and passed the imperial examination, wouldn't she, who bought him, also benefit from it? If he became successful, he would have to repay his family, right?
But how can we tie this person down?
Her gaze stayed on Jiang Yihuan, then she looked at Xiao Yanci opposite her.

Actually, it wasn't that difficult. Her daughter was not stupid. She had already coaxed Xiao Yanci around before, and now that she saw that he had a talent for taking the imperial examinations, wouldn't she be able to coax him even more?

"Ci'er, this is what I think. If you want to change your nationality to a good one, you must have an identity. How about I say you are my nephew tomorrow?"

Xiao Yanci looked at Zhong Lanhua gratefully: "Thank you, Madam."

"I have to thank you very much! From now on, you and Hui Ge'er will help each other, and he will have someone who can talk by his side. You are talented, so you must teach him well."

"Young master is very talented and will surely pass the imperial examination in time." Disdain flashed in Xiao Yanci's eyes.

Such a fool would probably not even be able to pass the examination to become a scholar, let alone become a juren or jinshi.

Since the mother and son liked to hear nice things, then he would tell them what he wanted. If saying something nice could avoid trouble, he could try to convince himself to get along with them.

"Huan'er, Xiao Ci is your cousin from now on. Why don't you call me cousin?" Zhong Lanhua winked at her.

Jiang Yihuan looked at Xiao Yanci shyly: "Cousin."

Xiao Yanci's heart softened.

He looked at Jiang Yihuan tenderly and called out, "Cousin."

Since he fell into poverty, he had only met cunning villains. She was the only flawless white jade in his life. When he passed the imperial examination, he would definitely repay her.

Jiang Yihui put down his chopsticks and said coldly, "I'm not eating anymore."

After saying that, he returned to his room angrily.

Zhong Lanhua looked at Jiang Yihui helplessly and said to Jiang Yihan, "Put your brother's food away first, heat it up for him later, and then bring it to him."

"Mom, if my brother doesn't want to eat, then don't eat." Jiang Yihuan said, "He just ate so much, he must be full."

"Your brother is a man, still growing. How can he survive on just this little? I'm going to talk to Mrs. Li. Clean up the room. There's not much firewood left. Chop it up." Zhong Lanhua said, twisting her waist and going out proudly. Her son doesn't have to pay tuition to study. Such a wonderful thing, shouldn't she brag about it to the whole village? It's not easy for a farming family like theirs to raise a scholar. If they save the tuition, their family will be much more comfortable. The most important thing is that only their family can have such a good thing, no one else can, so of course they have to brag about it.

"Brother Xiao, you are so amazing!" Jiang Yihuan said softly, "The teacher would rather exempt you from your tuition than teach you, which shows that you are truly talented. Brother Xiao, you must study hard and leave this small place as soon as possible. Become a high official and become a superior person, so that no one can bully you."

"Huan'er, thank you." Xiao Yanci said gently, "I won't let you down. When I pass the imperial examination, I will definitely repay your kindness."

"I didn't do anything to deserve your concern. When you become a high-ranking official, you must speak up for the people more often and be a good official who saves them from danger."

“You are so kind.”

"Eat more. My mother has always doted on my brother. As long as he's at home, all the good things in the house are his. I didn't dare to help you with the meat just now, I only helped you with the vegetables. Please don't be disgusted."

"You are so stupid. You didn't even pick up the food yourself, but you picked it up for me. If your mother gets angry, you will be the one who gets wronged. Don't do this next time."

"It's okay with me. I'm a woman anyway. I was born lowly and I'm used to it. You're different. You're a man and you're going to do great things in the future."

"Who said you were lowly? You are the purest and most innocent girl in the world, and you deserve the best. Just wait, when I pass the imperial examination, I will definitely let you live a good life."

Jiang Yihuan pursed her lips shyly: "I'm not your real cousin, how can I have the right to live a good life with you?"

Xiao Yanci's heart warmed up, and he looked at Jiang Yihuan's gentle and charming face with burning passion.

Xiao Yanci grew up surrounded by women and had seen all kinds of beauties. His family had produced the most beautiful woman in the capital, which showed that he was not someone who only cared about beauty.

Jiang Yihuan's appearance was considered outstanding in this rural area, but in the capital, such beauties were everywhere, even among the maids in the various mansions. In his old mansion, someone like her couldn't even be a maid.

However, Xiao Yanci was not one to look at beauty, he looked at a person's inner qualities. In his opinion, a girl like Jiang Yihuan was the most beautiful because of her innocence and purity.

"You are the one who is most qualified to live a good life with me."

"Brother Xiao, you are so kind to me. Before you came, even though I had family, I always felt lonely. Since you came, I feel at ease."

Xiao Yanci looked at Jiang Yihuan with even more affection and heartache.

Fortunately, it was the Jiang family who bought him, not that shrew from the Su family. If he had fallen into the hands of the Su family, who knows how much torture he would have suffered.

Besides, the Su family bought men to be sons-in-law. That village girl was so rude and rude, not even as good as a finger of Jiang Yihuan. He would rather bang his head against a pillar than let her be his son-in-law.

Xiao Yanci could already imagine himself passing the imperial examination and enjoying great fame, while the son-in-law bought by the Su family failed repeatedly, exhausted their family's wealth, and in the end the whole family had to beg for a living.

"A-choo!" Su Yaoguang had just laid down when he suddenly sneezed.

"Let me take your pulse." Jiang Jing took Su Yaoguang's pulse.

"My nose suddenly feels a little itchy. It may be because we haven't been to the city for too long. Wangshu must be thinking about us! When we are done with these days' work, we will go to the city and I will introduce Wangshu to you." Su Yaoguang rubbed his nose.
