The son-in-law of a prosperous family

Bai Dan was helpless about this. She was indeed not the most beautiful, but compared to Fang Huai, she was still far better than the other!

But Zhao Yunchuan is blind.

He ignored such a beautiful woman like her and instead treated Fang Huai as a treasure.

A nice man, but he's blind.

"Mother, grandmother, do you think Fang Huai knows witchcraft? Or has he cast a spell on Zhao Yunchuan?"

Otherwise, it simply doesn't make sense.

Bai sneered: "Do you think he knows these?"

Bai Dan nodded: "Maybe."

Bai didn't believe it at all, because her second aunt from her mother's family was a shaman, so she naturally knew that these things were fake.

"Did a dog eat your brain? You are clearly not as good as Fang Huai, but now you are making excuses?"

Bai Dan felt wronged and said angrily, "Then tell me how I am inferior to Fang Huai, I will change!"

Bai stopped talking.

Because she really couldn't see how her daughter was inferior to Fang Huai.

Bai Dan is pretty and has a lively and cheerful personality. Although she is a little lazy, she can still finish the work. She is much better than that dull big guy.

So...why does Zhao Yunchuan just look down on her?

Everyone was puzzled.

"Mom, you can't tell me either." Bai Dan sighed, "I just want to change it, but I don't know how to change it!"

The other two also sighed.

It's difficult!

However, the three of them did not struggle for too long. What they were more worried about now was how to make money?

Bai Dan has recently been discussing marriage with a scholar. The scholar is good-looking, but his family is poor. She can marry into the family, but the betrothal gift requires ten taels of silver.

The Bai family also wanted to rise to prominence with the help of their son-in-law, and felt that the scholar was a potential stock, so they wanted to bring him down.

However, the betrothal gift is a little difficult to arrange.

Their family was not wealthy to begin with, and Bai Li had lost all his family fortune in gambling before. Now it is not an exaggeration to describe their family as penniless.

Old Mrs. Bai sighed and glared at Bai Dan fiercely: "It's all your fault, you little bitch. If you could make Zhao Yunchuan fall in love with you, would we still be so passive?"

When the time comes, you can have as much silver as you want.

After all, Zhao Yunchuan is a walking God of Wealth.

But now, in order to marry a poor scholar, they have to sell everything they have to raise the betrothal gift.

Bai Dan bit her lip. She really wanted to have a quarrel with them regardless of the consequences. They blamed her for everything. It turned out that she was the one taking the blame.

Zhao Yunchuan doesn’t like her, but he doesn’t like you two either, right?

What's with that condescending look?

It really doesn't hurt my back to stand and talk.

Forget it, now is not the time to talk about this. Bai Dan took a deep breath, tried to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, and then said: "If it doesn't work... let's sell the land at home?"

Their family has a total of ten acres of land, which is not a lot, but it is all fertile land. Other people's land can be sold for eight taels of silver per acre, but theirs can be sold for ten taels, and the particularly good ones can be sold for twelve taels.

Can……

Eight acres of the ten acres of land had been sold secretly by Bai Li. He used the money from the sales to pay off his gambling debts and then went to the town's gambling house to gamble big, and had already squandered it all.

This is also the reason why Bai Li was captured and forced to serve in the military, and the Bai family refused to sell their land to save him.

They didn't dare to save such a gambler.

What's more, the family only has two acres of land left. If they sell it again, the family will be left with nothing.

To the three of them, the lives of their sons, husbands and fathers are important, but their own lives are more important.

Bai Li, the only male in the Bai family, was abandoned just like that.

"No!" Mrs. Bai objected strongly: "We only have two acres of land left. If we sell it, what will we eat?"

This won't work, and that won't work either.

So what should we do?

Bai Dan thought that the scholar was pretty good, and if she was lucky, she might be able to become a scholar's wife.

"Otherwise... why don't we steal the newborn baby and sell it?" Bai Dan suggested.

She really had no other choice.

The three of us looked at each other and thought this method was pretty good.

"But... can a baby be sold for ten taels of silver?"

"If we can't sell just one, we can sell a few more. But forget about the little kid from the Fang family. They are very strict at home, and they guard us like thieves. We have no chance."

This is true.

Moreover, the Fang family has two broken dogs, and there are still dog tooth marks on their bodies.

With a general direction in mind, the three of them discussed it carefully for a while and worked out a plan to commit the crime. Soon, everyone had an expression of nervousness and excitement on their faces.

Zhao Yunchuan was totally unaware of their dark thoughts. He started studying again, studying during the day and exercising at night. He was full of energy every day.

But Fang Huai had to hit his waist from time to time.

Backache!

During this period, another major event happened in the village, the Chen family incident.

After Chen recovered, she took the initiative to go to Wang Laizi with her crutches to propose marriage. However, Wang Laizi turned around and refused to marry Chen.

Things have come to this point, most people would definitely want to part ways amicably, but Chen is one of those few people.

She insisted on making a fuss with Wang Laizi, saying that since Wang Laizi had taken possession of her body, he should naturally be responsible for her, and so on and so forth.

Wang Laizi was a ruthless man and he didn't give in to Chen at all. The two of them were arguing with each other, and suddenly, Chen fell down.

Everyone said that Chen was angered to death by Wang Laizi, but she was not angered to death, she just had a stroke.

After Chen woke up, he became very 6+7, with crooked eyes, slanted mouth and drooling, he looked so miserable.

After Chen Xu learned about this, he went to Wang Laizi and made a scene again. His purpose was very simple: to get money.

"You haven't compensated my mother for the discount you gave her last time, so you should compensate her this time."

Wang Laizi thought he was a rogue enough, but he didn't expect that he was still a little bit inferior to Chen Xu.

Who would have thought that the previously famous scholarly boy in the village would now become someone like him?

Seeing such changes, even Wang Laizi felt a little sad.

"I told you, I didn't break her legs."

No one knew about this except Wang Laizi, and even Chen didn't know who had done this to her.

After all, it wasn't Wang Laizi. After all, that man was sincere to her, at least that's what Chen thought.

"Don't quibble. There's no point in quibbling. Just pay me the money. A total of five taels of silver."

Wang Laizi was so angry that he laughed. What kind of joke was this guy playing? !

Five taels of silver?

Even if you sell him, you can't even get five taels of silver.

The most valuable of all his possessions might be those thatched huts, but they probably couldn't be sold for even a tael of silver.

Even five hundred copper coins may not be enough for someone to take it!

"Do you think I look like five taels of silver? How about I give myself to you as compensation?"

Chen Xu turned his eyes away in disdain. He was not interested in the ugly Old Deng.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can exchange it with something. But I see you don't have much, so why not just take the deed?"

Although Wang Laizi is so poor and lazy, his family actually has some wealth, thanks to the previous generation, the previous generation, and the previous generation.

It was all because of their hard work that by the time Wang Laizi came of age, he already had twelve acres of land. Although Wang Laizi was lazy, his brain was not for show.

He rented out the twelve acres of land. Some people paid rent, and some paid food. So although his life was not rich, he was not starving.

The most important thing is that you don’t have to work.

Aren’t days like this just too great?

Lazy man, lazy man, clothes and food.

His life now is one in which he has clothes to wear and food to eat. Apart from having a big fat son, everything else is pretty good.

Wang Laizi sneered: "What kind of bullshit are you kidding, you want my farmland? Are you still asleep?"

Anyway, the land cannot be given to him, as it concerns whether he can still be a happy lazy man in the future.

"I have no money, but I have my life."

What an arrogant look of "what can you do to me, no matter what I do?"

It's true that Chen Xu really couldn't do anything to Wang Laizi. He couldn't convince him by reason, and he couldn't win in a fight. Even if he wanted to report to the police, he had no evidence.

For a moment, he really didn't know what to do? !

So do I have to suffer this loss in silence?

Chen Xu said that he was not a cuckold and could not stand this humiliation. Now he should remember that one day he would get revenge on Wang Laizi.

Chen's mouth was crooked. Not only could she not speak clearly, but she was also drooling continuously.

It does look a bit disgusting.

Sun Xiuxiu was absolutely speechless. She thought that God must have misheard her thoughts. She hoped that Chen could die quietly without a sound. She didn't want her to be half dead and have to work like a slave for her.

What the hell mode is this?!

Sun Xiuxiu didn't dislike stroke patients. If this person was her biological mother, she would definitely take good care of her. The key is... Chen is not only not her biological mother, but also someone she hates.

Taking care of such a person, she felt that she might die young.

Chen kept talking for a long time, but Sun Xiuxiu didn't understand a word she said. She said forcefully, "Don't move. Take the medicine!"

The spoon was brought to her mouth, but Chen refused to drink it and continued to make “hmm” and “ah” sounds, as if she was saying something, but no one could understand her at all.

Sun Xiuxiu's hands were sore from holding them, and she became a little impatient. She pinched Chen's chin with her hand, controlled her forcefully, and poured the bowl of medicine directly into Chen's mouth.

Chen coughed twice due to choking, and most of the medicine was coughed out, but Sun Xiuxiu didn't care. It was already very good that she could come to take care of Chen. As for whether the care was good or not, it was not important.

After Sun Xiuxiu came out of the room, Chen lay on the kang with lifeless eyes, tears streaming down her eyes.

Her entire spirit seemed to collapse at once.

Her life was such a failure. Her son would probably make her die before long, and she herself had become such a miserable person.

I guess he won't live long.

Everything that happened before seemed like a dream.

Her son could not become the top scholar, and she could not become an official's wife, so her final fate could only be to be buried in the ground.

Because she had no descendants, she had no confidence when she was a ghost in the underworld. Without anyone to burn paper money for her, she had no money to spend. It was estimated that in the underworld, she might not even have enough food to eat.

Chen was very sad.

No, that can't be the case. I still need to have descendants, otherwise I will have no money to spend.

Chen herself probably couldn't have children.

So she put her mind on Sun Xiuxiu's belly. She wanted Sun Xiuxiu to sleep with her son. After all, Sun Xiuxiu was a lady from a wealthy family, much better than Tian Cuicui, the whore.

But she couldn't utter a complete sentence now. The more excited she was, the more she drooled, and the more unclear her voice became.

She didn't want to accept her fate and wanted to take another gamble.

But this time, Chen was destined to lose.

Time flies, and soon it was time for Xiao Shijin's full-month banquet. Over the past month, Shijin's changes were very obvious. His face was no longer wrinkled or dark, but instead had a healthy pink color.

Not to mention, it's pretty cute.

The money for the full moon banquet was paid by the old couple, and it was a splendid banquet. They invited nine big guests in the town to come and prepare the feast. Everyone ate with a gusto, and it was very delicious.

After the full moon banquet, Zhao Yunchuan was going to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination, accompanied by Fang Huai.

No one in the family has ever been to the provincial capital, so they don’t know how far away it is. They only heard that it takes a day’s drive to get there.

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

Sometimes, even if I travel a few hundred or dozens of miles, my mother would still be worried.

Look, Bai Guihua, who had just finished her confinement, is cooking for them in the kitchen.

"I steamed ten steamed buns and eight pancakes for you. You can eat the buns first. The small pottery jar contains chicken mushroom sauce, the oil paper bag contains dried meat, and this bag is the snack your father bought in town."

Fang Huai: "...Mom, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Not much, not much at all. I think it's still not enough. Yes, yes, yes, I didn't fill up water for you. Is it enough to fill three water bags?"

“Enough, enough, enough!”

But that’s enough!

Before they left, he warned them again and again: "Don't be reluctant to spend money when you are outside, spend it when you need it, and be careful, don't be stupid. Everyone believes in the winter, especially Huai Ge'er."

People who look stupid and foolish are the easiest to be deceived.

If Bai Guihua were born in modern times, she would describe Huai Ge'er as a clear-headed and stupid college student.

Because they are so similar.

The same ignorance and stupidity, the same clarity and stupidity.

Duan Wenshu returned to the county town two days ago. We will meet there and go to the provincial capital together.

The couple were just hitchhiking, since Duan Wenshu had a carriage and a coachman.

They parked the tricycle at Duan's house and got on a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage had a lot of space, more than enough for three people.

"Are you hungry? My mother brought me a lot of food, including lotus cakes, osmanthus cakes, jujube paste cakes, and egg cakes. Would you like to have some?"

There was a food box in the corner of the carriage, which was four layers high. You could tell from the outside that there was indeed a lot of food in it.

The couple was not hungry yet, so they refused. Out of politeness, they told Duan Wenshu what food they had and asked if he wanted some.
