C1 Marry the Foolish Son?
"Letting her marry a big shot of Jiang Family is her fortune. He even paid her a whole twenty liang of betrothal gift money!"
"But Big Lang Jiang Family is a fool, he is my second brother's daughter after all, I'm afraid the villagers will gossip …"
"Nonsense!" The woman's voice suddenly rose, "Don't you see how things are at home? Can you raise her mouth? This unlucky star has already killed her parents. Next, are we waiting for her to kill us? "
"But …"
"Enough!" What's there to 'but'? The matchmaker will be coming tomorrow, watch her carefully, don't come up with any more tricks! "
Wei Shuyu was chopping firewood as she listened to the argument in the inner room.
In the three days since he had arrived in ancient times, he had been busy with household chores and farming from the moment he opened his eyes. From time to time, he would also practice using his staff.
The hands of the teenage girl were callused, and her petite body was riddled with injuries.
Lady Wu walked in and frowned when she saw Wei Shuyu's actions, "Why are you dawdling!?" It's almost dark, do you want to starve your entire family if you don't cook? "
Wei Shuyu was silent, and her hands moved even faster.
Lady Wu was satisfied. Leaning against the door, she grabbed a handful of melon seeds and continued spitting them while watching Wei Shuyu work.
"Yuniang, I know you resent your aunt. You're still young and you don't understand your aunt's pains at all. Even though that Big Lang Jiang Family was a fool, his parents only had this one son, and this family business would still be his in the future. If you marry her, when the two elders die, wouldn't Jiang Family be your final decision? "
Wei Shuyu snorted coldly. Such a bandit theory made her voice sound quite dignified!
"Aunt, since this marriage is so good, why don't you let little sister Shu Rou marry you? You have the final say in Jiang Family in the future. "
This Jiang Family was originally for the Wu Clan's daughter, Wei Shurou. In the end, the Wu Clan couldn't bear to part from the flesh on her body, so they let her carry this burden!
The original owner's parents had both died, and her third uncle's family had raised her since she was young. Although they said they were worried that her second brother's only bloodline was due to his greed for the things in the original owner's family. To put it nicely, it was raising him, but it was more or less the same as working as a horse or an ox for his family.
"What are you talking about! My daughter is going to marry County Magistrate, how can that fool Jiang Family be worthy? " Lady Wu was instantly displeased. She frowned and glared at Wei Shuyu.
Wei Shuyu sneered as she had already expected her reaction.
"Slut!" Having raised you for so long, if you aren't grateful, then forget it. A lost star! Tomorrow the matchmaker will come! "Even if you want to marry, you have to!"
With a "pa" sound, Wei Shuyu put down the firewood in her hand and stood up. She looked Lady Wu in the eye and said seriously, "How about this, Aunt? I'll give you thirty taels! "How about you break off the engagement?"
Lady Wu was taken aback by Wei Shuyu's imposing manner and shivered subconsciously. After hearing what Wei Shuyu had said, Lady Wu laughed. "I think you're dreaming. Where did you get so much money from?"
"I'm not able to take out that much money right now, but if you give me five days, I will definitely hand it over to you."
"Hmph, I think you are just trying to stall for time!" You should just stay at home and wait for my Jiang Family to arrive. "
When she was done eating, she rubbed her hands on her body and twisted her body, intending to enter the house to rest. She had seen this money-losing deal since she was young, and knew what was in her heart. If she could take out that much money, even pigs could climb trees.
At this moment, a voice filled with laughter came from behind them. "I can be honest now, but Auntie, aren't you afraid of me making a ruckus on the day of our wedding? You won't be able to get a single copper coin then."
Lady Wu's body halted as anger welled up in her heart. This damned girl actually dared to threaten her?
She turned around and sized up the smiling Wei Shuyu from head to toe. Usually, this damned girl wouldn't be able to utter a single fart when she hit her head, but she had grown capable after that!
"What do you want?" Lady Wu suppressed her anger and asked.
If I take out thirty silver after five days, you can annul the engagement. If I don't take it out, I will immediately marry Mister Hui Tai Lang, and I will definitely not cause trouble for you. However, in five days time, ten silver will be added, so no matter what, Aunt will not suffer any losses, right?
"Great!" I want to see what tricks you can pull! "
The next morning, Wei Shuyu followed the rest of the villagers to a nearby county city.
There were two commercial centers in the county. The East City mainly sold individual stalls to sell daily necessities and snacks. The West City was where the big shops gathered. She planned to go to the East Market first.
Arriving at the eastern market, Wei Shuyu took a look around and saw countless business opportunities in front of her.
In ancient times, there was no one-stop shopping, no promotional means, no knowledge of VIP marketing, and no knowledge of online or family-style sales patterns...
It was a pity that Wei Shuyu looked at her coarse hemp clothes. All these opportunities were for free, but she didn't have any.
Right now, she could only use her bare hands to catch the white wolf!
Suddenly, in the bustling city ahead, a few children surrounded a tall guy while running and singing, "Silly Dazhu, stupid Dazhu, crying and shouting for a wife. Married a wife and gave birth to a pig, hahaha …"
"You all … Give me back my belt! " The tall and big guy frantically shouted while holding his pants, but he couldn't catch up to the kids that were messing with him.
Wei Shuyu frowned. A few children bullying an adult male? Isn't this too strange?
"If you call me boss and give me five candies as a form of filial piety, I'll give it to you." The child holding the belt said in an arrogant tone. The other children also echoed his words.
"Boss, please give me the belt, I …" "I don't have any sugar …"
"Hmph, then don't take your belt either!" The child shook his belt and turned to run.
Wei Shuyu looked at the gloating crowd, but no one wanted to help him. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"What are you doing?" Wei Shuyu took a step forward to block the devilish brat holding the belt. She raised her hand to pull the belt back, glaring at the devilish brat.
"Is this belt yours? Don't you know that stealing someone else's things is wrong? "
The devilish brat raised his head to look at Wei Shuyu who was much taller than him. He was instantly scared out of his temper by the anger on Wei Shuyu's face.
"There's even people like you who want to watch the show!" You like to see others being bullied so much? Do you have nothing to do? "
Wei Shuyu reprimanded the bystanders with her next sentence.
Seeing that someone had interrupted them, the crowd immediately dispersed with a curse.
Wei Shuyu tossed the belt to the tall man, and when she saw his handsome white face and clear black and white eyes, she was momentarily stunned.
After the man in white took the belt, he took off his clothes and started to tie it up in a flurry. Wei Shuyu turned her face away in embarrassment. This ancient man was even more open-minded than modern people …
"Elder sister goddess, you're so nice! Come home with me and be my wife!" A clear male voice rang out, but the words that came out made anyone who thought otherwise laugh.
Wei Shuyu finally understood. So this man was a fool …
"It wasn't just any random girl on the street who asked her to be your daughter-in-law, you know?"
"I... I don't have to drag around on the street... Elder Sister Immortal … "I like it …" The more the white-clothed man spoke, the redder his face became. In the end, his voice was no louder than a mosquito's.
Wei Shuyu smiled and shook her head. "Looking at your attire, there should be someone taking care of you. Quickly go home."
"My home is in the Jinfeng Village. Big sister goddess, please come home with me!" The bashful look from before had already turned into one filled with anticipation.
But Wei Shuyu was suddenly stunned. Jinfeng Village? Could it be...
"What's your name?!"
"My name is Jiang Rann."
Looking at his smiling face, Wei Shuyu's eyes were wide open as she said word by word, "You … are … are … are … Jiang … my … my … my … husband!"
