Jiang Ke just cried and didn't want to say anything. Guilt and regret had almost made him collapse.

Jiang Xun slapped him in the face angrily, "Do you still want to study? With the current situation at home, we will be kicked out before dad passes the imperial examination, and you are still making trouble. What do you want?"

Jiang Ke calmed down and said, "What do you want? We are just children. If I don't want to study, can I betray my mother?

Now that she won't want us anymore, do you think we can have a good life in this family? Who will let me study? Can you do it? "

Jiang Xun: "I will definitely do it. I won't let you regret betraying her. It was her fault that she didn't fulfill her duty as a mother and didn't take good care of us. You can't blame us for not wanting her."

Jiang Ke wanted to say that it was Mother who didn't want them anymore. They wanted to go back, but Mother had to agree.

"What to do now?"

Jiang Xun said, "Let's wait and see. We can only take one step at a time. I'm going to steal some food and go to bed early."

The food in the kitchen was locked up. Jiang Xun had learned the skills of sneaking into houses and picking locks in his previous life, and he put them to good use in this life. He quickly stole a few steamed buns and brought them back. They drank cold water and ate the steamed buns, barely filling their stomachs.

The Jiang family members were all worried about money. With no one to cook, and no one to take care of the three children, they had some peace and quiet.

After discussing for a whole night, they still had a shortfall of two hundred taels. They had to sell the house and land the next day, so they had to sell them as soon as possible.

Jiang Chen also had to go back to the county town to borrow money from his classmates and familiar merchants and shops, hoping to borrow some money to get through this difficult time.

Seeing that no one cared about her after the Jiang family discussed the matter, Lin Xueqing returned to her parents' home and discussed with her mother how she should get back on her feet after Shen Nanzhi was divorced. Also, was it true or false that Brother Jiang was not capable of doing this?

When Lin Xueqing was reborn, she only knew that Brother Jiang would be very successful in the future, her children would become successful, and Shen died early, so she was not of much help in other aspects.

She was originally a maid in the inner house of a wealthy family. She didn't have much brains, and apart from climbing into bed, she couldn't think of any good ideas.

After all, Lin's mother lived for more than 20 years, so it's better for her to have seen more than to figure things out on her own.

Lin's mother had just taught her two daughters-in-law a lesson, saying that they were lazy and didn't work and were full of petty ideas. If they hadn't given birth to a son, she would have divorced them directly.

"Ni'er, why are you back at this time?"

Lin Xueqing sat down and said, "Mother, I'm hungry. Give me something to eat first."

Mother Lin ordered the eldest daughter-in-law: "Go and cook a bowl of noodles and two eggs for your sister."

Mrs. Lin curled her lips and couldn't help but retort: ​​"Mother-in-law, a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. How can she go back to her parents' home to beg for food the next day after getting married? Doesn't the Jiang family care about your food?"

Lin Xueqing had always been favored by her mother and had always looked down upon her two sisters-in-law. She said aggrievedly, "I just came back from the city and wanted to have a private talk with my mother. If the sisters-in-law can't tolerate my younger sister-in-law, then I'll just leave."

Mother Lin pulled her aside and said, "Ignore them, two lazy people who don't want to do any work all day. I will teach them a lesson later."

If you don't want to work, get out. Tomorrow, the eldest and second sons will come back from work and divorce you. I can still marry another young girl."

The two of them then went to cook, but they made a lot so that their children could also eat enough. The fine noodles had been locked away by their mother-in-law, and now that they were finally able to get them, they couldn't wait to eat them all in one meal.

Anyway, you don’t know who will end up with it in the future, so you might as well save yourself the trouble first.

Lin Xueqing didn't even have lunch. She ate a bowl of egg noodles, asked her sister-in-law to wash the dishes, and hid in the room mumbling to her mother.

After hearing that Jiang Chen and Shen Nanzhi were getting divorced, Lin's mother was just happy for a moment, but she was asked to pay such a large amount of silver as compensation. Lin's mother immediately jumped up and said, "Shen is so cruel. Isn't this going to force the entire Jiang family to death?"

"Who said it wasn't? A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. She is too cruel. Brother Jiang hates her to death. Mother, do you think it is inappropriate for me to talk about the matter of legalization now?"

"I'm sure, silly boy, you should stay at home for a few days and go back after the storm has passed. Although six hundred taels is a lot, the Jiang family has a lot of wealth, and maybe you can really squeeze it out.

I just feel sorry for you. Even if you are the head of the family and the principal wife, how can you live without money? "

There were also huge foreign debts, and Lin's mother regretted letting her daughter marry him.

Lin Xueqing said again: "Mother, Brother Jiang seems to have some health problems. The doctor said that he will affect his offspring. What should we do?"

"How can I go out with you if I have a hidden illness? Don't listen to the doctor's nonsense. He is just trying to cheat you out of money. You still have a long life ahead of you. Don't worry about this."

If this wasn't her own daughter, Lin's mother would have said it more bluntly: You two slept with each other, don't you know whether it succeeded or not?

Lin Xueqing blushed, she should have known not to mention it.

Lin Xueqing wanted to hide, but Jiang Chen didn't want to either, so he came to the house early the next morning. Lin's mother hurriedly greeted him: "Son-in-law is here, have you eaten yet?"

"I have eaten. Thank you, mother-in-law, for your concern. Father-in-law is not at home? I want to talk to him about something."

Lin's mother's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was borrowing money?

He laughed dryly, "Your father-in-law has taken the eldest and second sons to the city to work. The fields are not busy now, so we have to hurry up and make money. Just tell me."

Jiang Chen said, "Xue Qing must have told you about my divorce from Shen. I can give Xue Qing a legitimate status now, but my family is in such a difficult situation, and I really have no choice but to talk to my mother-in-law. If my mother-in-law can support me with fifty taels of silver to tide me over this difficult time, I will immediately help Xue Qing become my Jiang Chen's main wife."

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, unable to tell whether she was surprised or worried. Was the Jiang family going to add the debt to their own family?

Jiang Chen did not ask for an answer right away, and said, "I will go to the city to find my classmates and friends to think of a solution. You are my mother-in-law, and I believe you will do your best. In the future, when I pass the imperial examination, I will inevitably help my father-in-law and my uncles, so that we can share the wealth.

My son-in-law has left first, please give me a reply as soon as possible, time waits for no one."

Mother Lin raised her hand, Jiang Chen had already walked out of the door, and Lin Xueqing walked out of the house with a happy face: "Mother, I can be promoted to the wife. Let's see who dares to laugh at me being a concubine and our family in the future. It's a great joy!"

Mother Lin stiffened her neck and said, "But he wants fifty taels of silver. Where can I get so much money?"

"It's only fifty taels. Can't mother think of a way? Father and brothers all work, and we have land at home. How can we not scrape together fifty taels?"

Lin's mother suddenly felt that her daughter was a little stupid. Fifty taels of silver was a huge sum of money for an ordinary peasant family. Anyone who could spare five taels of silver was considered a wealthy family.
