After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

Jiang Weiran chattered like an old woman and told Jiang Wan a lot of principles of being a wife.

Jiang Wantou was so annoyed by what he heard.

"Okay, Dad, I get it. Don't worry. As long as Xie Lan doesn't provoke me, I won't give him a cold shoulder."

Jiang Wan barely managed to stop Jiang Weiran from speaking.

"Besides, don't you see I haven't quarreled with him these days?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Weiran's brows relaxed and he said happily: "Wan'er, you can get along well with Lan'er. It is Dad's greatest wish in this life. Even if Dad dies, he can rest in peace."

Jiang Wan frowned, "Dad, you're talking nonsense again."

"Okay, okay, Dad won't talk nonsense."

Jiang Weiran thought her daughter was shy again and shut her mouth.

Just at this moment, Xie Lan knocked on the door and walked in.

"Uncle, cousin, it's time to eat."

Jiang Wan raised her eyebrows slightly.

She found that Xie Lan would call her cousin in front of Jiang Weiran.

But when it was just the two of them, Xie Lan would usually call her by her first name, or not by her first name.

This kid is too good at pretending.

However, Jiang Wan didn't want to expose him, after all, she didn't call Xie Lan cousin.

Jiang Wan followed Xie Lan out to the main room. On the table was a plate of crispy cakes and a large bowl of meat buns. The other dish was fried winter melon. Apart from that, there were no other dishes.

Jiang Wan first brought a bowl of food to Jiang Weiran, and when she came back, she asked Xie Xueling, who was drying her hair, to come over. She quickly tied up the little girl's hair loosely to make it easier for her to eat, and finally sat down at the table to eat.

The meal was unusually quiet.

Xie Jing stopped picking on Jiang Wan, and Jiang Wan was happy and at ease.

After dinner, Xie Lan went out without telling Jiang Wan what he was going to do. He just said "going out".

In the evening, Xie Lan returned with a lot of things.

Among them, two pieces of satin cloth are conspicuous, in colors of scarlet and emerald green respectively. The cloth is not prickly to the touch and the colors are not gaudy, looking fresh and elegant.

There were also two bright red wedding dresses, one for men and one for women, as well as a gold and a silver hairpin with fine workmanship and exquisite style, plus a pair of emerald green jade bracelets.

There were two newly customized, clean and soft quilts, and some miscellaneous small items.

The things Xie Lan brought back filled up the table in the main room.

Jiang Wan and the two children were shocked.

Not to mention the silk fabrics, jewelry like hairpins and jade bracelets would cost a lot of money.

Where did Xie Lan get the silver?

"Xie Lan, why did you buy so many things?"

Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask him.

Xie Lan poured himself a bowl of water, drank it, and said, "It's for tomorrow's wedding, and your betrothal gift."

"bride price?"

Jiang Wan didn't expect Xie Lan to give her any betrothal gifts at all. She knew it would be hard for Xie Lan to raise two children, so she didn't ask for a grand wedding tomorrow.

Besides, she and Xie Lan had no feelings for each other, so why should he spend so much money on her?

The items in front of me weigh at least dozens of taels in total.

Isn't it okay for Xie Lan to keep the money for them to spend on themselves?

"Ah."

Xie Lan simply replied with one syllable and didn't say much else.

Xie Jing on the side couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Brother! Why did you spend so much money? You are still studying, you should save the money for yourself! You will go to the county to take the county exam in February next year. What will you do if you don't have money then?"

County exam?

Jiang Wan remembered.

Xie Lan is not even a student now.

In the past few years, he focused on taking care of his younger siblings and was unable to concentrate on studying for the imperial examinations.

The original owner disliked Xie Lan because he had no achievements.

Zhang Caijin is now a scholar, so his starting point is naturally higher than Xie Lan.

"Xie Lan, Xie Jing is right. You should save the money for the exam. You don't need to give me so much betrothal gifts. Those are for outsiders to see. There is no need to prepare so much."

Jiang Wan didn't care. She married Xie Lan not to ask for his money, but to use his luck to avoid the male and female protagonists of the original book and punish Zhang Caijin.

By the way, she would try to get on good terms with Xie Lan, and once Xie Lan's impression of her improved, she would talk to Xie Lan about the divorce.

Xie Jing glared at her and said, "Bad woman, stop being so hypocritical. Don't forget that you still need fifty taels of betrothal gift!"

Jiang Wan was slightly embarrassed. "I didn't say that when I was young and ignorant. Why do you still remember it? I wonder why you, a little dwarf, hold a grudge so much?"

"Who are you calling a shorty?!"

"What do you say?"

"You! Brother, look at her!"

Xie Jing was so angry that his face turned red. Unable to win the argument with Jiang Wan, he asked Xie Lan for help.

Xie Lan said nothing, but just raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Wan and said in a calm voice: "You don't want fifty taels anymore?"

"No, you used to help me and my father a lot, I owe you a lot, I will pay you back slowly in the future."

Jiang Wan doesn't like to owe favors to others.

Even though the debts owed to Xie Lan in the past were not paid on credit by her, who was it that made her so unlucky to occupy this body?

Then I can only help the original owner clean up the mess.

Xie Lan looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then stood up.

"Take these."

Jiang Wan heard his tone which implied that he could not refuse, so she nodded and said, "Okay, these are the betrothal gifts. You don't need to give anything else."

It just so happened that the original owner had only a few clothes left, and she also liked the color of the cloth that Xie Lan bought, so it was just right to make two new clothes.

Xie Jing puffed up his cheeks and glared at Jiang Wan angrily, his face full of reluctance.

Xie Xueling ran to Jiang Wan with a cute and clever bun.

"Cousin, this cloth is so smooth and beautiful!"

There were almost stars in the little girl's eyes.

Seeing her worn-out grey cloth, Jiang Wan said, "What color does Xueling like? I'll have someone make one for you tomorrow."

"Really?!"

Xie Xueling opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"real."

Jiang Wan pinched her thin little face and said, "Pick a color."

Xie Xueling was so happy that she couldn't help herself. "Xueling likes green, the color like grass and leaves, it looks really good!"

"Okay, then make a new green dress for Xueling."

Xie Jing, who was standing next to him, felt a little sad. He said to Xie Xueling in dissatisfaction, "Little sister, when did you get so close to that bad woman?"

Xie Xueling said seriously: "Second brother, my cousin is not that bad, don't always call her a bad woman, and my cousin is very good to Xueling, she gives me food, combs my hair, and now she wants to make clothes for me. My cousin treats me as well as my mother does!"

Xie Jing snorted disdainfully, "Who knows if she's just pretending? Maybe she's up to something bad!"

After saying that, he ran outside angrily.

Jiang Wan didn't care about Xie Jing. She said, "Xue Ling, can you help me pack my things?"

"Ok!"

The two of them moved a table full of clothes and jewelry to the side room where Jiang Weiran was resting.

Jiang Weiran asked Jiang Wan a few questions, and Jiang Wan answered truthfully. Jiang Weiran just kept praising Xie Lan as a good man.

Dinner was also simple, with a bowl of wild vegetable porridge for each person.

After dinner, Jiang Wan slept in the same room with his father, while Xie Lan slept in another adobe house with his younger siblings.

The next day, just after dawn, Jiang Wan was awakened by the noise outside.
