"When Jiang Miao wanted to rush to the exam and lack money, Wang wanted to marry me. Her first choice was Lai San. He not only drank alcohol but also beat people. He married two wives and was killed by him. This is not a good man."
Wu Shi and Zhou Yue took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, there was such a relationship between the girl and Lai San. Seeing that Zhou Shan was stunned, Jiang Chan continued, "so I always want to see what a person who can satisfy Wang is like. Now it seems that it's just so."
Zhou Xing was filled with righteous indignation and his little face turned red: "this man is too bad. They really did it."
Jiang Chan smiled sarcastically, "as long as you give them money, what can't they do?"
Although Wang really loves ginger and apricot, it also depends on the situation. The main reason is that Jiang Mu's family has not reached the end of the mountain and water. When Jiang Mu's family is really difficult, will Wang love Jiang Xing so much at that time?
Jiang Chan can actually foresee such a result, but can she say? Of course not.
Just seeing Lai San's appearance now, Jiang Chan doesn't intend to do it by herself. To trip up such a person is simply to dirty her hands. Such a person is addicted to gambling and alcohol. Sooner or later, she will kill herself. She just needs to watch quietly.
During this period, almost all the children of Jibing workshop left. After they learned their cooking skills here, they all scattered to other cities. Jiang Chan can receive letters from the children almost every month.
Some went to be a waiter, some to be a cashier because they were good at math, and some to open a snack stall. In short, everyone's life was good, which reassured Jiang Chan.
It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish. This is also her original intention. Now it seems that she is doing well.
Qiuwei passed quickly. Jiang Miao and Jiang Mu went to the capital to catch up with the exam. They traveled through mountains and rivers all the way. They originally planned to come back after releasing the list. Unfortunately, it was not easy in the capital. They could only come back and wait for news.
Jiang Chan naturally pays attention. She has never made any obstacles to the Jiang Mu family, because Jiang Chan likes to do things openly. Besides, after all, they are the parents of the original owner, and the original owner's wish is to stay away from them, not take any retaliatory measures against them.
Jiang Chan believes that the temperament of Jiang Mu's family alone can make a mess of a relatively OK life.
As expected by Jiang Sen, Jiang Mu and Jiang Miao both lost the list. When the news reached Jiang Chan's ears, she was drawing a picture of the rain beating the remnant lotus. Jiang Chan's brush shook gently, and a drop of ink fell on the rice paper.
Little girl Zhou Xing couldn't be happy. Her eyebrows and eyes were bent with laughter.
Seeing that Zhou Xing was so happy, Jiang Chan was in a lighthearted mood for no reason: "are you so happy?"
Zhou Xing was elated: "yes, who makes them bad to girls? People who are bad to girls should live badly!"
While saying that Zhou Xing nodded in a serious way, Jiang Chan rubbed Zhou Xing's two bun and was warmed by Zhou Xing's maintenance words.
"Well, let's not waste our mind on unimportant people. Have you finished reading the book I gave you last time?"
Zhou Xing nodded immediately: "look, girl, I don't understand some places. Can you tell me?"
Not to mention how comfortable Jiang Chan is, Jiang Mu's family is gloomy. Since Jiang Mu and Jiang Miao's father and son went to the exam, Wang and Jiang Xing were elated at home. Their words meant that they must be able to go to high school.
The villagers didn't say anything to their face, but they were all waiting to see the jokes of Jiang Mu's father and son. Sure enough, after the news that both father and son lost the list came, the speech in the village immediately got up.
Jiang Xing and Wang were embarrassed to go out, but they needed to go to the riverside at the head of the village to wash their clothes every day. It became a big difficulty to wash their clothes every day.
In addition to facing the remarks of outsiders, the atmosphere at home is even more tense. This time, Jiang Mu's father and son went to the exam. They really hollowed out their family, let alone owed Jiang Sen twenty liang of silver.
Fortunately, Jiang Miao's scholar passed the exam. On weekdays, he can go to a private school to enlighten the children and earn some shuxiu. Otherwise, the Jiang Mu family will have to collapse.
Twenty liang of foreign debt, ah, although I borrowed it from my eldest brother, I still have to pay it back.
After dinner that day, Jiang Mu took a sip of muggy wine: "in the final analysis, our father and son are too exaggerated. If miao'er is allowed to precipitate for another three years, it is estimated that the situation will be different. Now it is also his own fault."
He looked at the listless Jiang Miao: "cheer up, isn't it a failure? Your mother and I can't afford you to continue to rush to the exam now. Tomorrow, you'll find a job by yourself, feed yourself first, and then rush to the exam."
Jiang Miao nodded in response. Jiang Mu looked at Jiang Xing and said, "my little sister is thirteen. You can kiss at this age. You can see her."
Wang carefully worded: "even if you look at others, you don't have money to give apricot a dowry..."
Jiang Mu frowned: "the girl in the village will do what she does. Is it difficult for her to be superior?"
Jiang Xing lowered her head and pinched her fingernails into her palm. She is now sincerely envious of Jiang Chan. She lives so well. Where is she like? Do she really want to be like the girls in the village now?
Wang is not happy either. She keeps Jiang Xing as a daughter, but she doesn't want Jiang Xing to marry mud legs. "But you and miao'er are both scholars. People can't be too bad for xing'er. There are two scholars in our family."
Jiang Mu frowned, too. Thinking of this, he waved: "make your own decision on this matter. I'm still worried about how to return my brother's twenty Liang silver."
Jiang Xing's eyes are black, twenty Liang! When the eldest uncle adopted Jiang Chan, he only gave ten liang of silver. Now my father and brother just went to the exam and spent twenty Liang at once. Even if they sold her, they didn't have so much silver.
Wang Shi was not worried at all. She cleared the table: "that's brother's silver. Brother's family doesn't lack silver. Maybe brother doesn't need us to pay it back. Besides, if we really want to pay it back, we can pay it back slowly. It's a little difficult to marry miao'er in the future."
"Fortunately, miao'er doesn't need to go to the academy now. If he can earn money by himself, plus your bundle repair, he can pay off in three or five years. At that time, miao'er is more than 20 years old, and it's difficult to add others."
Jiang Mu looked at Jiang Xing and said, "let's talk about this later. We have to pay back what we owe. Miao'er has to stand up by himself. Our family will count on you in the future."
