Chapter 62 His beloved died
"Next time I go to set a trap, I'll have game to eat! Don't save it, our house is so shabby that it's as convenient for anyone to come and use as if it were their own.
If you don’t eat it yourself, who knows who will miss it! You can only feel at ease if you keep it in your stomach.”
Jiang Youzhen's words made the whole family laugh, even the steady Erya couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder.
"Where did you learn all this? I find that your words are getting more and more offensive."
"Second sister, tell me if what I said makes sense!"
After the family laughed, Jiang Fugui asked the question that the family was most concerned about.
"What did the headman say?"
"They said the land is spacious. We'll ask the government to come and measure it tomorrow." Jiang Youzhen ate a piece of meat and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
In my previous life, I didn’t eat much meat in order to maintain my figure, but I didn’t expect that eating meat has become a luxury in this life.
Hmm! No, it won’t be a luxury anymore.
"That's great, then we can leave the upper room, right? You didn't know that when you went to the village head's house this afternoon, Fourth Aunt came again, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and was looking for something to eat!"
San Ya was very dissatisfied. Fourth Aunt was so shameless that she had the nerve to rummage through things.
"That's right! She's really shameless. Fortunately, we hid the things in our room. If I hadn't called Third Sister and the others to stop her, Fourth Aunt would have entered our room to search."
Si Ya snorted coldly, and even Shen and Jiang Fugui looked unhappy.
Jiang Youzhen frowned, "She's back again?"
"Isn't it? She was sent back by her parents' family." Si Ya pouted. Fourth Aunt was really annoying.
"We have to move our things openly today, so we have to be more alert when we go to bed at night, for fear that someone will sneak into the house. Even Fourth Aunt dared to rob us openly, so those people must be tempted."
Jiang Youzhen does not regret being so high-profile. After all, when her family builds a house, the villagers will know about it.
As for Mrs. Luo, although this woman is bad, she is also a little stupid and easy to guard against.
The most vicious one is my aunt Xiao Chen. She has not made any move yet, so she must be plotting something bad. However, Xiao Chen will not steal things. What I need to be on guard against at night is the villagers.
"No, no way?" Shen paused with her chopsticks. Although she asked this, she obviously didn't believe it.
"I told you not to let those people know. We were too ostentatious today." Jiang Fugui looked unhappy.
"We can take the carriage back to the village. Even if we cover the basket, they will still be suspicious. This is not a big deal. If anyone dares to come, I will send him to jail."
Jiang Youzhen sneered, she was not afraid.
"Second sister, you should take your knives with you when you go to bed at night. I will sleep outside your room at night. I will be able to hear any movement."
Ever since he killed the wolf, Jiang Youzhen felt that he had become braver and was not afraid at all.
"Now that we have caught those scoundrels and made an example of them, I wonder who will dare to do it again in the future."
Jiang Youzhen has always been a straightforward person, but these words scared the three sisters enough.
Fortunately, three of us slept on one bed, so we weren't so scared.
"After the Chinese New Year, we can build a house in the spring. Then we'll build a high wall and raise two vicious dogs."
Jiang Youzhen clenched his fist, but was poked on the forehead by the fourth sister.
"What a vicious dog! It's obviously a good dog that guards the house."
Shen brought an oil lamp and looked at the kids talking animatedly, and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Even a glimmer of light the size of a soybean, accompanied by laughter, can dispel the coldness of this winter.
After dinner, Jiang Youzhen went to Shen’s house.
"Mother, father told you how much reward I got this time, right? It would be useful for me to keep some of the money. Here is five hundred taels. We need food and drink at home, and we need to build a house in the spring. We also need to prepare dowries for my second and third sisters."
Jiang Youzhen now has about 1,500 taels of silver in his hand, excluding the money he spends on flowers.
I got 300 taels from selling Lingzhi, and the second prince gave me 1,200 taels. Last time I sold the recipe, I used all the rest except for the 20 taels I gave to Shen and the others.
Shen nodded. She still couldn't believe that Jiang Youzhen earned 1,200 taels just by going out.
"What kind of wealthy family is that? Why did they give so much reward money?"
She looked at her daughter, she was unharmed, nothing unusual. But she just couldn't believe it, it was too much.
One thousand two hundred taels! It's not a small amount.
"There are other stories behind this. Those flowers were planted by the owner's most beloved person, but his beloved died. Seeing the flowers reminded him of his beloved, and the flowers were dying, so he must be very anxious. That's why he spent a lot of money to find a gardener to save them.
Good things are more valuable than money, we are just lucky, we won’t encounter such good things in the future.”
Jiang Youzhen was talking nonsense, but Jiang Fugui and Shen suddenly understood what he meant after hearing it.
"This man is truly passionate and affectionate. I didn't expect that even in a wealthy family there would be such a lovesick man!" As a woman, Shen was naturally sentimental.
"So that's how it is. It's really touching!" Jiang Fugui was also moved by the host's deep affection, and couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Um...don't be fooled by Jiang Fugui's rough and burly appearance, it turns out he is such a delicate person.
"Then take this money, it's all earned by you." Shen felt guilty when she thought that she and her husband still had to rely on their daughter for support.
"This is for our family to spend, so just take it, mother. I will have a use for the rest of the money, and our family will get better and better anyway."
Seeing the couple start to shed tears again, Jiang Youzhen suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"By the way, how is my second sister's marriage going? I heard from you that someone asked Aunt Ya to propose marriage?"
Perhaps it was because Jiang Youzhen had behaved very steadily in the past two days and was able to make decisions on family matters, so the Shen family and others did not think it was wrong and talked about the matter with Jiang Youzhen.
"He's the kid that Wang Shiba picked up from Wangjia Village. His name is Zhao Wei. I've seen him before. He's tall and strong, with a handsome appearance, but he has a fierce face, which makes him look a bit intimidating."
When Shen talked about this, her face was full of smiles.
"That boy again? Didn't he come to our house to propose marriage two years ago? Didn't Wang Shiba pass away? This boy has no father or mother, isn't that a good thing?"
Jiang Fugui was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Zhao Wei hadn't proposed marriage yet!
"What's wrong with being without a father or a mother? As long as I'm good to my sister, it'll be fine. After getting married, no one will care about me. Won't life be comfortable?"
Jiang Youzhen thought this person was good, but he needed to wait and see.
Shen nodded in agreement. Originally, she also felt that it was not good to be without a father or a mother, but then she thought about what kind of life she would live under the care of her in-laws.
Wouldn't it be nice for my daughter to get married and live her own life behind closed doors?
Especially since Erya is a soft-hearted person, she will only suffer when she meets strong in-laws. Especially if this kid is not doing well, she will not come back to tell others.
After Jiang Fugui heard what Jiang Youzhen said, although he was still a little dissatisfied, he also felt that it made sense.
"Zhao Wei was shy, so he asked Chunya's mother to sound him out. Guess what? He actually saved five taels of silver in two years, saying it was a betrothal gift."
Jiang Fugui was even more shocked. "You said he didn't propose marriage in the past two years just to save enough betrothal gifts to propose marriage to our family?"
