After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

"Third brother! Third brother's wife! Get out here!" A deep voice followed.

Wang Cuihua and Liu Yuzhi had already run out quickly.

"Mother, elder brother." Wang Cuihua smiled ingratiatingly, wiping her dripping hands on her clothes several times.

Jiang Yun Ning was speechless. Here comes another challenge! Just how many exceptional individuals did the original owner have around him?

Standing outside the door were the original owner's grandmother, Jiang Liushi, and her uncle, Jiang Youfu.

"Third son's wife!" Jiang Liushi stood with her hands on her hips, her triangular eyes glaring at Wang Cuihua. "You heartless, greedy bastard! You caught a rabbit and didn't even tell me to bring it over! You wanted to eat it all by yourself?"

Jiang Youfu, hands behind his back, leisurely chimed in, "Exactly. Your nephew hasn't had any meat in ages, hurry up and bring out the rabbit."

Wang Cuihua was sweating profusely with anxiety: "This... Mother, eldest brother. Our family hasn't had any meat in a long time, and Yun Ning bumped her head the day before yesterday, she needs some nourishment. Mother, can I send you half?"

She just saw the rabbit. It had been skinned and gutted, and it must have weighed at least three pounds. She kept one and a half pounds for the family to have some soup, and let her daughter and grandson have some meat to nourish themselves.

"Bah!" Jiang Liu was even angrier. "Half? Not a single hair can be missing! Hand it over right now. Does your family even deserve to eat rabbit?"

"Why shouldn't our family be worthy?" Jiang Yun Ning stepped forward.

Despite being very angry, she still had to suppress her anger.

In this era, filial piety can be overwhelming. The original owner and Jiang Liushi had only separated their families but had not completely severed ties. If they were not careful, they could be accused of being unfilial and sent to prison.

"Grandma, Uncle," Jiang Yun Ning said coldly. "Why can't our family eat?"

In the original owner's memory, Jiang Liushi favored her eldest and second sons from a young age, and disliked her youngest son, Jiang Laosan, to the fullest.

Jiang Laosan became pregnant not long after his marriage to Wang Cuihua, but she was vomiting so badly that she couldn't do any work. Jiang Liushi was annoyed by this and insisted that Wang Cuihua was faking it, so she directly separated the young couple.

They were given only two drafty, dilapidated houses and two acres of rocky land where no crops could grow at all.

Later, the couple worked tirelessly to save money to renovate their house. When Jiang Liushi discovered this, she would come every few days demanding money and food, claiming it was money for their retirement.

He even said something like, "I live with your older brothers, don't you have to pay for my things?"

The original owner of this body was a bully at home, only daring to throw tantrums at his parents, older brother, and sister-in-law. When facing his grandmother, he would only shrink back timidly.

Thinking about these frustrating things, Jiang Yun Ning felt a throbbing pain in her temples.

Upon seeing her, Jiang Liu's anger on Facebook intensified: "You damned good-for-nothing! What right do you have to exchange your fat pig for a man? You've gone too far!"

Jiang Liushi had already planned to have Jiang Laosan kill the two beasts and send them to her during the New Year.

Well, that's great, a big fat pig is gone just like that.

"The imperial court allows the purchase of convict slaves, and the officials permit it. If Grandma thinks it's wrong, I'll take you to see the county magistrate, or find the official who agreed to let me exchange pigs for convict slaves to have him judge it." Jiang Yun Ning felt that she had witnessed the limits of human shamelessness once again.

How shameless! Does she think her own pig has no say in the matter?

Jiang Liu was furious, but now that the die was cast, there was no going back. She could only keep a close eye on the remaining one.

"Let me tell you! All your valuables are mine! As for that fat pig, you better keep it safe! If you dare sell it again, I'll skin you alive!"

Jiang Yuning looked at her: "Yours? All of it is yours? This village is yours too? This is the first time I've ever seen someone get a fat pig in broad daylight just by talking. Grandma, are you getting old and your mind is getting muddled?"

"How dare you talk like that!" Jiang Youfu rushed over.

He had long been used to being bullied by the third branch of the family, but being contradicted by Jiang Yun Ning suddenly made him feel like he had lost all face.

Before he could even get close, Jiang Che suddenly rushed out and punched him in the stomach, causing him to stumble back several steps and fall to the ground.

"Ouch! Murder!" Jiang Youfu clutched his stomach as he lay on the ground.

Jiang Yun Ning turned his head, and at that moment he was certain that Jiang Che knew martial arts.

But she couldn't care less about that now; all she could think about was "it's all over."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yun Ning asked anxiously.

Although the two did not hold a banquet, Jiang Che had already settled down.

In name only, he is Jiang Youfu's nephew-in-law. If Jiang Youfu were to sue him for assaulting an elder, Jiang Che would be in serious trouble, if not dead.

"Go home. Don't come out unless I call you." She reached out and pushed Jiang Che.

Jiang Che was clearly displeased; he was obviously protecting Jiang Yun Ning. It was like a dog biting Lü Dongbin.

"No!" He refused Jiang Yun Ning's request for the first time.

Although he already knew Jiang Yuning was intelligent, he knew that as a woman, she definitely couldn't beat a big man like Jiang Youfu in terms of strength. He was worried because Jiang Laosan and Jiang Yuntian weren't around.

Jiang Yuning's mind was in complete disarray, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

As the neighbors gathered around, Jiang Youfu continued to howl on the ground.

"Oh dear, how unfilial of you! How dare you hit your elder!"

"Oh God, please take this unfilial beast away!"

Jiang Yunning narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Wang Cuihua: "Mother, sister-in-law, you two are sitting on the ground crying, so be loud."

Never mind, let's just suppress this for now.

"Ouch!" Wang Cuihua plopped down on the ground. Liu Yuzhi, who was standing nearby, was stunned for a moment, then opened her mouth and cried out, "Ouch, Mother, don't cry!"

The neighbors, who had just been drawn over by Jiang Youfu, were immediately puzzled when they saw this scene.

Jiang Liushi and Jiang Youfu were also stunned. Why did Wang Cuihua and her daughter-in-law suddenly start crying and wailing? Their voices were even louder than his.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Hua squeezed in. "Yun Ning, what happened?"

Jiang Yunning also feigned a wronged expression: "Aunt Hua, my grandma and uncle are angry because they found out I traded pigs for slaves."

"What's there to be angry about? These are Jiang Laosan's pigs, not yours." Aunt Hua glanced at Jiang Youfu.

"That's right."

"You old woman, you're being unreasonable! What's wrong with Yun Ning buying a convict slave? The imperial court ordered it, and you're still coming here to make a scene."

When Jiang Liu saw that everyone was criticizing her, she became even angrier: "These are my son's pigs. I said I can't sell them, and I mean I can't sell them."

Jiang Yun Ning wiped away non-existent tears: "Grandma, Uncle, you immediately accused me of exchanging pigs for slaves, but we don't have any extra money at home. I wanted to borrow some from Grandma, but my father said we've separated the family property and can't ask Grandma for money anymore."

Wang Cuihua immediately chimed in, "Yes, Mother, our third son is very filial; he wouldn't bear to borrow even a penny from you."

Aunt Hua spat out, "Jiang Youfu, do you think Yun Ning is being too formal? She should borrow some money from you to buy a slave."

"Bah! Why should I lend it to her! We've already separated our households." Jiang Liu stood up abruptly and refused outright.

"Grandma, now that we've separated, does that mean we're no longer a family?" Jiang Yun Ning looked sad, but Jiang Che saw a very familiar glint in her eyes.
