I fought back after reselling my engagement

"Money shouldn't be spent like this. A little bit of money adds up to a lot. What's more, the second young lady only gets three taels of silver a month. The lady said, 'The eldest young lady gets the same amount. It doesn't make sense to give the second young lady five taels just because she was paid by the previous lady.'"

The first wife was the original wife, and Yu was the second wife who was promoted from a concubine. How could she compare the eldest daughter, a concubine's daughter, with the legitimate daughter? But Yu thought it made sense.

Zhen Su remembered the pain of the Lu family, the pain of Lu Wang, the only one of the three sons of the Lu family who had a talent for studying, falling into the river and drowning. During the years she was in the Lu family, she always heard her mother-in-law, second brother, and sister-in-law talking about how outstanding Lu Wang was.

She thought: If Lu Wang hadn't died, maybe the Lu family would have prospered, and maybe a poor family would have produced a Jinshi. She waited at the entrance of Lujia Village that day, and sure enough, she saw a child fall into the river.

Aunt Meng was still chattering on. Every time she heard that Zhen Su had given money to the Lu family, she would have to go through this test. If he gave five taels, it would take a long time to say it; if he gave ten taels, it would definitely take two hours; if he gave twenty taels, it would be a big deal and he would have to say it for three days.

Zhen Su had already prepared herself mentally for Aunt Meng to nag for three days. In the three years since she came back, she still couldn't let go of the Lu family. She recalled every detail of the Lu family in her previous life over and over again. Once she found out that they were in trouble, she would immediately send them money and things.

Aunt Meng continued, "In early spring last year, Lu Xing's wife fell and had bleeding. You asked Lu Tiezhu to send two packets of pregnancy-preserving medicine and five taels of silver, using the name of his eldest son's good friend.

After Lu Wang fell into the water, you went through the old man of the Su family and found a good private school for Lu Wang. You gave him the twelve taels of silver for his apprenticeship, and you also paid him two taels of silver as tuition every year.

Girl, there is no reason to focus on one family when doing good deeds? You gave Lu Tiezhu 20 taels of silver to bring to the Lu family during the Dragon Boat Festival. This is not how you spend money. Why did you do that?"

The girl not only gave Lu Tiezhu twenty taels of silver, but also gave him an extra two taels of silver, asking him to stop fooling around all day. She praised others for being smart and told him to learn how to make tofu from others and earn money to supplement the family income in his spare time. How could he marry Chunyan in the future without a family foundation?

"You will be fifteen next year, and you will need a dowry when you get married. Although your previous wife left you a shop and a farm, she didn't spend money like you do. You haven't even bought yourself a few new clothes, so why are you giving money to an unrelated outsider?"

Zhen Su pretended not to hear it, thinking that he would get used to it.

Chunyan wanted to save her ears. When would Aunt Meng stop nagging? The young lady had her own reasons for doing things. Chunyan felt that the second young lady was addicted to doing good deeds.

"Mother, how are the eldest and second uncles? Have the second and third cousins' marriages been settled? I remember they are two months older than our daughter."

"My third cousin was born in January. She had caught a cold when she was having her coming-of-age ceremony, so I sent her a gift."

Chunyan finally succeeded in changing the subject and said with a smile: "I heard that we are going to make flower and rock sugar rice dumplings this year, which the girl likes the most."

Aunt Meng said, "I'll go to the back garden and pick some purple locust trees, wash them and make some fresh flower and rock sugar rice dumplings for the young lady."

Chunyan thought she was going to leave, but Aunt Meng stopped and said, "Second Miss, I went to the Su Mansion today, and the old housekeeper asked me to bring back a box. He said it was a gift from Old Master Su. You should open it later. He also said that he had given you the key a long time ago."

The box containing the Marquis's Engagement and keepsake appeared again. In the previous life, the old housekeeper, who was sick, personally delivered it with the help of his grandson. In this life, because she knew that the old housekeeper would not live long, she took care of him after her rebirth and sent him ten or five taels of silver from time to time.

Zhen Su's heart was filled with excitement. She asked Aunt Meng to give money to the old housekeeper of the Su Mansion, hoping to get the box back. "Nurse, how is the old housekeeper's health?"
