After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Jiang Chen naturally wanted to solve Lin Xueqing's troubles. The Lin family went to the Jiang family yesterday to ask for an explanation, and it was he who instigated the Lin family to find Shen Nanzhi. She was still his original wife, so she had to deal with these trivial matters in the inner house.

But I didn't expect Shen Nanzhi to agree to take a concubine so readily, and even be willing to pay for the banquet, showing some of the demeanor of a mistress of the house.

Jiang Chen was a little doubtful. Was Shen really so kind?

Before, I wanted to force his entire family to death just for money.

"Thank you for your hard work. I can't take too much leave. I have to go back to the academy. You, please do it as soon as possible."

Shen Nanzhi tilted his head and asked, "Then tomorrow?"

There's no need to choose an auspicious day. Don't you have to pay a Taoist priest to choose a good date?

"Okay, so what do I need to prepare?"

Shen Nanzhi just found it funny: "Go ask your mother!"

You are mentally ill. You took a concubine and asked her what she was going to do? You gave him face, right?

Jiang Chen blushed, "Can't you speak properly?"

"There's nothing to say to a beast."

Jiang Chen was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left. Shen was really unreasonable and not as gentle as Lin. When he pampered Lin, she'd better not be jealous.

The Jiang family was not willing to pay, but they had no objection to taking a concubine. After all, their son was a scholar, and taking a concubine took skill. Who among the ordinary farmers could afford to take a concubine?

Don't think that anyone could have three wives and four concubines in ancient times. The imperial court had regulations that ordinary farmers could not take concubines. Only when the family property reached a certain amount, or had achieved honors, could they take concubines under special circumstances.

Officials are allowed to take concubines according to their ranks. Of course, no one will investigate seriously. If you can afford it, you can take a concubine.

The status of a concubine is quite good, but those maids do not even have a status. They are just tools for the master to warm his bed. When the master gets tired of them, they are given to servants. Their end is extremely tragic.

Shen Nanzhi didn't understand all this at the moment. He had heard about it from others before. This time, by accident, he made it possible for Jiang Chen and Lin Xueqing to be together.

Before long, the news that Jiang Chen was going to take a concubine spread throughout the village, and the trustworthy aunts and sisters in the village came together to congratulate Shen Nanzhi.

"Mrs. Shen, we need someone to help with weddings at home. We need to buy things and prepare the banquet. We need to prepare it the day before."

"You have to clean up your house too. Where will the new daughter-in-law live?"

"You arrange the work, and we will do whatever you need."

Shen Nanzhi saw how happy they were, and if someone didn't know, they would think Jiang Chen was getting married.

He sneered and said, "My aunts and wives are quite free. Thank you for your concern, but my family has nothing to do. It's just taking a concubine. There's no need to make such a fuss.

We also need to buy food and prepare the feast. I wonder how much gift money you are going to give? I have prepared the gift bill here. Come, give the gift first. I will buy more hard dishes when I have money, and we will have a good meal together."

Shen Nanzhi took out a gift account book from somewhere and pretended to accept the gifts.

"Ah, why do you need a gift?"

"Yes, taking a concubine is not a serious wedding event, so what kind of gift should be given?"

These villagers are really weird. Shen Nanzhi knew that asking them for money would be more painful than cutting flesh, so he changed his tone instantly.

"You said this is a happy occasion, but I can't afford to treat you if you don't bring any gifts and come to my house to eat and drink for nothing.

Otherwise, you can go to the old house. I, the concubine, also want to pay a visit to my mother-in-law, and let the old house take care of things. The place there is big and spacious, much better than my thatched cottage.

They might as well just live in the old house so that there will be one more person to take care of mother-in-law.

This is a big happy event for the Jiang family. You all knew to come and help, but the mother-in-law and the sisters-in-law didn't show up? Do you look down on the Lin family?"
