Chapter 164 The Capital Crime

But Jiang Youzhen had already thought of a reason, "Dad! Practicing martial arts requires practicing the basics, and it can only be useful when you are young and your body is not fully grown. It's a little late for me to practice now, but fortunately, my body was not fully grown in the past few years, so it's not too late to practice now."

Jiang Fugui couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing this. "Then I am really too old. My body has become stiff a long time ago."

He sighed, "Then you should practice well. Although you are a girl, you can protect yourself if you practice well. But don't become too big and strong, and don't be obsessed with practicing."

When the father and daughter dragged the wolf back home, they saw a lot of people outside the courtyard wall. They were shocked and thought something big had happened at home again.

Unexpectedly, when everyone saw them, they all surrounded them, looking at the wild wolf as if it were a rare creature. Jiang Youzhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because it turned out that they were all here to watch the fun.

"Did Erlang really kill these two wolves? Is Erlang so powerful?"

"Of course I watched him being pulled down from the mountain. Erlang is really capable! It would be a real blessing for a girl to marry Erlang."

"Fugui! Don't rush back. Let us take a look. We haven't seen a wolf yet! Can't we expand our horizons?"

Jiang Youzhen was a little overwhelmed. The villagers were too enthusiastic. She simply left Lang and Jiang Fugui outside and turned back into the yard.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw a lot of people standing in the yard. Even the old man and the old lady came out from their kang and stood in the yard looking over here.

As soon as she saw Jiang Youzhen appear, Fourth Aunt Luo couldn't help but jump out, "Erlang, I heard that you killed two wolves. Do you have that ability? Did you steal someone else's prey?"

Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes. This Luo always came to provoke but never got any benefit. But he was disgusting as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't spit bloody words at me, Fourth Aunt. If you don't believe me, follow me when I go up the mountain in the future and watch how I kill wolves. It feels so good to cut the land with each stroke of the knife."

Jiang Youzhen tossed the dagger in her hand as she spoke, a cold smile on her face. The bloodstains on her temples and clothes made Luo shut up, which was rare.

The old man and the old lady were very silent this time, but they looked at Jiang Youzhen with a strange look in their eyes. Little Chen's lips moved a little, but she just smiled at Jiang Youzhen and said nothing more.

Jiang Youzhen didn't care what they thought. Her face and body were sticky and she just wanted to wash up quickly.

Unexpectedly, when she entered the house, she found Shen and the three sisters sitting at the table. As soon as they saw her enter the room, they began to interrogate her as if they were holding a trial.

Jiang Youzhen had no choice but to repeat what he said to Jiang Fugui, but they still felt unbelievable.

The news that Jiang Youzhen killed two wolves spread quickly in the village and soon spread to the nearby villages. People came to Jiang's house to see the wolves in waves.

Later, Shen couldn't bear it anymore, so she closed the door early, turned off the lights, and the family had dinner in the dark.

Jiang Fugui thought that if he stuck his head out, he would be in danger of being stabbed. Erlang would go to a private school tomorrow, so he had to let his family know about this.

"Erlang has registered for the private school today and will go to school early tomorrow morning. Mom, let's get up early tomorrow. You can make more breakfast for Erlang to eat before going to school."

"What? Going to a private school?" Everyone else at the table said in unison. Except for Si Ya who had an obvious smile on her face, the other three faces were equally shocked.

"Go back to the room. I have something to tell you."

Shen's hand was pinching Zhang Fugui's thigh under the table, her face full of threats.

Is there any point left? What is Erlang's status? Can she go to a private school? Is this father really stupid? Is he really raising Erlang as his son?

Shen immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks, pulled Jiang Fugui back into the house, and glared at Jiang Youzhen before leaving.

Jiang Youzhen lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice. Then he went back into the house.

Seeing the door slammed shut, the three remaining sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Si Ya asked in confusion, "What's going on? Isn't it a good thing for Erlang to go to school? Our family is doing better now, and it's not like we can't afford to support him. We didn't have the money to send Erlang to school before, but now we have it, so why don't you let him go?"

"Alas! You don't understand this." Erya sighed. Did they not want Erlang to go? It was Erlang who couldn't go!

Hearing the murmuring voices coming from outside, accompanied by Jiang Fugui's occasional gasps, Jiang Youzhen returned to the kang.

Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, and in the gloom, a pair of tearful eyes looked at the thin figure lying on the kang.

"Really go?"

Jiang Youzhen was silent for a while before answering, "Mom! No one knows what will happen in the future, so let's just focus on the present. I am a man now, and I'm used to it. It's impossible for me to get married and have children in the future. In this case, why not give it a try?"

Shen rushed to Jiang Youzhen's bed and whispered in her ear, "Do you know that if a woman disguises herself as a man to take the imperial examination and is discovered by the court, she will be sentenced to death?"

"Don't worry too much. I'm just going there to learn more knowledge. I won't get into trouble. I can't even pass the body search! It's always right for me to read more books."

Jiang Youzhen patted Shen's shoulder. Shen held her slender hands and sighed.

"As long as you have a plan in mind, it's good. You always have your own ideas. Your father and I always let you do what you want."

Shen touched Jiang Youzhen's smooth black hair and said, "Son! You have to live for yourself. Your mother and father had a hard life, and there was nothing they could do about it before, but it's different for you. You have the ability, and you can live a good life. Your sisters have their own fortunes, and you have to live a comfortable life for yourself."

Jiang Youzhen suddenly choked up, "I'm not doing this just for my parents and sisters. I really think it's good the way it is now. I don't want to get married and have children like them. I like the life I have now."

"That's because you are still young. Your ideas will definitely change in the future, but you can live comfortably every day. As you said, live in the present moment."

Although they could only see each other's vague outlines in the dark at this moment, their hearts were connected.

After Jiang Youzhen came here, she always felt a little alienated from the original owner's family, after all, she was not born here. But now, she feels that she has completely integrated into this family.

Jiang Youzhen hugged Shen and buried his head in her chest. He smelled the refreshing scent of soapberry on her body and felt at ease for a moment.

Shen touched her back and said with emotion: "When you were a child, you loved to lie in my arms and act like a spoiled child, but when you grew up, you didn't like me holding you like this anymore."

Jiang Fugui, who was about to come in, stopped when he saw the scene in front of him. Just looking at this warm scene, his eyes became moist.
