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

Jiang Che didn't look up, but his face felt a little warm: "I saw my older brother washing clothes for my sister-in-law. I think if we're going to pretend to be a married couple, we should act like it."

The main reason was that the Jiang family had treated him very well, and he felt he should do more to repay them.

Wang Cuihua was in a good mood when she saw him washing Jiang Yunning's clothes last time.

Jiang Yunning chuckled, squatted down beside him, and whispered, "Really? Then how about we turn this pretense into a real relationship?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the clothes in Jiang Che's hand were torn with a ripping sound.

"Big brother. I just bought this!" Jiang Yun Ning felt a pang of heartache; she should have known better than to tease him.

This cost her several hundred coins!

"Jiang Laosan!"

The sudden shout interrupted their conversation, and they both turned around to look.

She was so focused on teasing Jiang Che that she didn't hear what was being said over there.

Jiang Youfu stood up angrily and said, "Fine, fine, you've got guts. If you don't want to lend it, then forget it."

After saying that, he picked up the half-pound of meat and was about to leave, wiping the spot where he had just put the meat with his sleeve: "I won't leave you a single bit of oil."

Jiang Yun Ning was so angry she laughed.

"Dad," she grinned, "your older brother is quite funny."

Jiang Laosan was embarrassed and muttered with a red face, "I don't want to be brothers with him."

The old house, Jiang Youfu's style is incredibly rich.

"Dad," Jiang Mancang yawned, "Don't be angry, I've thought of a good idea."

Jiang Liushi looked on expectantly: "Good grandson, tell me quickly."

"Grandma, tomorrow I'll secretly follow them and see where they're delivering. We can take it too, and we can make money too." Jiang Mancang had thought about this for several days before coming up with this idea.

"Oh my!" Jiang Liu slapped her thigh. "My dear grandson, he's so smart!"

Jiang Mancang smiled smugly, but in his heart he was thinking that if he could take over this job, then it would be Jiang Yunning's turn to come to his house to borrow money.

The morning was cool, and Jiang Che drove the oxcart while Jiang Yun Ning sat beside him.

"Do you think there are more opportunities to make money in the county seat than in a small town? How much money does it cost to buy a house in the county seat?"

Jiang Che remained silent, believing that even if it was a one-man show, Jiang Yun Ning could keep going.

really.

"When will we be able to save enough money to first replace our old house with a big brick house, then buy a courtyard house in town, and then buy one in the county."

Jiang Yunning has already begun to envision the future.

When the time comes, I must visit the brothels in the county town to see what the top courtesans of ancient times looked like.

"Someone's following us." Jiang Che didn't even turn his head.

Jiang Yun Ning immediately sat up straight, dropping the foxtail grass she was holding.

"Who?"

Jiang Che shook his head: "I didn't turn around."

Jiang Yun Ning's eyes darted around, and she suddenly called out, "Jiang Che, stop for a second, I need to go to the bathroom."

This was said intentionally for the people behind to hear.

Jiang Che tightened the rope, and the oxcart stopped.

Jiang Yunning jumped down and burrowed into the weeds to the side, using the weeds as cover to peek back.

I only saw a figure running panting heavily; it looked like a man, and he seemed somewhat familiar.

Jiang Yun Ning hesitated for a few seconds, then stood up and sat back down in the car.

"It's Jiang Mancang," Jiang Che said.

He just pretended to go to the back to tidy up his basket and secretly peeked a few times.

"What's he doing following us?" Jiang Yun Ning frowned, then suddenly looked terrified. "He's not planning to steal our oxcart to sell for money, is he?"

After all, Jiang Youfu had just come to borrow money yesterday but was refused.

Jiang Che shook his head: "I don't know."

"I spent fifteen taels to buy this! If they dare to steal something so expensive from me, I'll definitely fight them to the death!" she muttered.

Jiang Che had long noticed that Jiang Yun Ning was somewhat greedy, his eyes lighting up at the sight of money.

But this greedy man was willing to share his money with Jiang Laosan and his friends, and to buy them clothes and medicine.

Does that mean that in Jiang Yun Ning's heart, she is already like family?

Upon arriving at Baiweixuan, Jiang Yuning was somewhat worried, so he handed the oxcart over to the assistant cook in charge of weighing the oxcart and asked him to lead it into the backyard to keep an eye on it.

She and Jiang Che walked directly to the street.

The two of them came today to inquire about Qingshan Academy.

Now that I have some spare money, I need to send my child to school as soon as possible. We can't let our children suffer.

"Is he still with us?" Jiang Yun Ning asked.

"No." Jiang Che remained calm. "I stopped following them after we got to Baiweixuan."

Jiang Yun Ning nodded, increasingly convinced that the old house was trying to steal her cow and oxcart. Luckily, she had asked her servants to keep an eye on them.

Jiang Mancang only dared to show himself after the two figures had disappeared for a long time.

"Damn it, the oxcart is going too fast." He wiped his sweat and went around to the front door, where the aroma of food filled the air.

The waiter stood at the door, dressed neatly with a white cloth draped over his shoulder.

It wasn't lunchtime yet, but there were already quite a few people inside.

Jiang Mancang dusted off the dust on his body, felt the few copper coins in his pocket, and walked over.

"Please come in, sir." The waiter had just come forward when Jiang Mancang pulled him aside.

"Brother," Jiang Mancang said with a fawning smile, taking out ten copper coins from his hand and stuffing them into the purse.

Xiao Er's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"I'm from the same village as Jiang Yunning. I wanted to ask if she sends all her cicada nymphs here? How much do they cost per pound?" Jiang Mancang had personally witnessed Jiang Yunning's oxcart enter the backyard.

Moreover, that person was quite respectful to Jiang Yun Ning.

"Miss Jiang?" The waiter sized up the man in front of him.

Jiang Mancang looked at him somewhat nervously, and even blinked rapidly a few times without realizing it.

"It won't hurt to tell you," the waiter laughed. "Our restaurant buys cicada nymphs, and Miss Jiang delivers them to us every day. They cost sixteen coins a pound."

Jiang Mancang's eyes widened: "Sixteen coins?"

Wouldn't Jiang Yun Ning earn at least several hundred coins a day?

"Then, should I accept gifts from others?" Jiang Mancang seemed to already see the silver beckoning to him.

"I want them all." The waiter grinned. "Lots of people from around here come to deliver them."

Just as he was about to say something, another customer arrived at the door. The waiter quickly pocketed the coins and hurried off to attend to the customer.

Jiang Mancang's eyes turned red with excitement.

If Jiang Yuning charges thirteen coins per jin, then he'll charge fourteen coins. Only a fool wouldn't deliver to his house.

He can earn 200 coins a day by selling 100 catties of meat! You can only earn 20 or 30 coins a day by doing manual labor.

Jiang Mancang became more and more excited as he thought about it. Suddenly, he felt that his legs were not tired at all, so he hurriedly ran back.

Unaware of the situation, Jiang Yuning and Jiang Che had just left Qingshan Academy and bought some things for school at a bookstore before returning to Baiweixuan and driving the oxcart home.

"Father, Mother, I went to the private school in town today and asked. The tuition is two taels of silver and five catties of meat per year." Jiang Yun Ning said as she hugged Jiang An He, who was rushing towards her.

"Anhe, how about Auntie takes you to school in town?" She patted Jiang Anhe's little bottom, which was chubby and felt really nice.

Jiang Anhe blinked: "Okay."

After saying that, he kissed her directly.

"Alright." Jiang Laosan nodded: "Let's go to town. My family can afford it."

Just then, the door was pounded on loudly.

The group looked up and saw a couple with unfriendly expressions standing outside the door; they were Liu Yuzhi's parents.

"In-laws, come in and cook." Jiang Laosan hurriedly went to greet them: "Wife of the child, quickly boil water and make tea."

Old Liu snorted and stepped inside.

Divorce is not a good thing, and they don't want it to become public knowledge.
