After resting for a while, Jiang Ling led Jiang Zhishan and several children toward the fields. More and more villagers had come to help Jiang Ling's family, working hard to clear the land.

Jiang Ling thought the mushrooms on the back mountain tasted good, and since she had run out at home, she decided to go to the back mountain to pick some more. However, after looking at Jiang Suihe, she realized that it was still a bit inconvenient for her, so she asked Jiang Suihe to go with her to the back mountain.

"Oh dear, Brother Dazhuang, this is no good! I can't accept it!"

"Keep these. You've been eating a lot of eggs lately, these are good to help you recover!"

"Hmm? Why does this tone and content sound so familiar?" Jiang Ling frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

Zhang Dazhuang was seen with a girl from Lujia Village. Jiang Ling recognized the girl; she was the daughter of a family in Lujia Village. The wife of this family was notoriously shrewish, even more so than Jiang Ling's former mother-in-law.

There are even rumors that her mother-in-law was driven away by her.

Jiang Ling smiled coldly. This Zhang Dazhuang really is a "sea king," casting a wide net and catching a large number of fish. However, after meeting this family, Zhang Dazhuang's days are not going to be easy.

Jiang Suihe also witnessed this scene. She trembled all over, her eyes filled with tears, and she stood there stunned.

Jiang Ling patted Jiang Suihe's shoulder, gently shook her head, then wiped away Jiang Suihe's tears and whispered, "It's okay, everyone encounters a few bad people in their life..."

"Who the hell is this brat trying to seduce my daughter!" Jiang Ling hadn't even finished speaking.

A loud, booming voice suddenly resounded through the valley, so loud that Jiang Ling's ears felt a little sore.

Jiang Suihe was startled and grabbed Jiang Ling's sleeve, trembling.

"Don't be afraid!" Jiang Ling comforted softly, but her gaze was fixed on Zhang Dazhuang.

A figure rushed towards Zhang Dazhuang and the girl at an extremely fast speed. The person was short and fat, with a greasy face and eyes the size of soybeans.

At this moment, she was standing with one hand on her hip and the other pointing at Zhang Dazhuang in front of her, giving him a teapot-like gesture.

"Mother..." the girl called out timidly.

"Don't call me mother, you good-for-nothing brat! You almost sold yourself for a few eggs, how shameless!" The woman's words were very rude, leaving the girl hanging her head like a deflated balloon, not daring to say another word.

"Hello, Aunt Sun... I... I'm Zhao from Guiyue Village..."

"Shut up! I know your name is Zhang Dazhuang. What, you little brat, have you taken a fancy to my daughter?" Madam Lu said, hands on her hips, with a murderous look on her face.

"No...no, I..."

"What? Brother Dazhuang, that's not what you said before!" Upon hearing this, Lu Sunshi's daughter immediately looked up at Zhang Dazhuang with teary eyes, appearing pitiful and endearing.

"Shut up! You brat, aren't you ashamed enough? How old are you and you're already thinking about men! I'll skin you alive later!" After saying that, Madam Lu turned around and slapped her daughter hard across the face.

Seeing Lu Sunshi's daughter's red face from the slap, Jiang Suihe suddenly shuddered in fear. She couldn't imagine what it would feel like if her own mother slapped her like that.

"What? You don't have any? Then what are you doing with these eggs? Are you trying to shirk responsibility and walk away?" Madam Lu snatched the eggs from her daughter's hand and questioned Zhang Dazhuang sternly.

Zhang Dazhuang was still just a child. No matter how clever he was, he was terrified when faced with Lu Sunshi's scolding.

He held his mouth shut, almost bursting into tears.

Lu Sunshi had no intention of letting him go. She stretched out her dirty hand, grabbed Zhang Dazhuang's arm, and said fiercely, "You little brat, if you dare touch my daughter, believe me, I'll skin you alive!"

Zhang Dazhuang was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with his eyes wide with fear, staring at Lu Sunshi with a completely bewildered expression.

Jiang Suihe felt sorry for Zhang Dazhuang's disheveled appearance, but due to Jiang Ling's authority, she could only keep her feelings to herself.

"Get up, you brat! Stop pretending with me! I saw you touch my daughter's hand! You're about the same age as my daughter! Take me home, your affair has to be settled today!" Madam Lu roared.

At this moment, Jiang Suihe could no longer hold back and rushed over while Jiang Ling was not paying attention. However, when she saw Lu Sunshi's fierce eyes, she immediately froze on the spot.

Jiang Ling sighed and rushed out, pulling Jiang Suihe behind her and forcing a stiff smile as she greeted Lu Sunshi.

Good morning, Mr. Sun.

"Hmph! This is none of your business, get lost!" Madam Lu spat and rolled her eyes.

"Okay, okay! My daughter is being silly and disturbing us!" Jiang Ling quickly led Jiang Suihe away.

Unexpectedly, upon seeing Jiang Suihe, Zhang Dazhuang immediately scrambled towards her, tears streaming down his face, and cried, "Suihe, save me! Save me!"

"What? Jiang, your daughter has something to do with this boy?" Madam Lu quickly walked up to Jiang Ling and blocked her way.

"No...no, Madam Sun, please don't misunderstand. How could we possibly have anything to do with Zhang Dazhuang? It's getting late, I'll take my daughter back first!" Jiang Ling awkwardly wiped her sweat and, before Madam Sun could react, quickly led Jiang Suihe towards the foot of the mountain.

Even at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Ling could faintly hear Sun's angry curses.

Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Suihe and sighed helplessly, "Silly girl, is this man really worth all this effort from you?"

"Do you know that this Sun woman is a notorious shrew in our village? Not to mention you, even your mother is afraid of her. Her mouth is just horribly foul!"

"Mother...I...I was wrong, but..." Jiang Suihe didn't know how to explain to her mother. At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. This feeling was terrible for her; she had never felt this way before.

"Alright, you don't understand these things. It's my fault for neglecting your upbringing..." Last night, Jiang Ling also reflected on how she had been so focused on her business lately that she seemed to have completely neglected her child's education.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Suihe suddenly burst into tears. Jiang Ling patted Jiang Suihe's shoulder without saying anything, knowing that Jiang Suihe needed to vent.

After crying for a long time, Jiang Suihe asked, choking back tears, "Mother, am I really that bad?"

"Silly child, what are you saying? You are exceptionally talented. Look at your uncle Jiang Zhishan, he's already a student of the first level of the imperial examination. You should also work hard to get into Linghui Academy as soon as possible!" Jiang Ling comforted her.

Jiang Suihe wiped away her tears, smiled at Jiang Ling, and took Jiang Ling's hand as they walked towards the other side of the mountain.

The mother and daughter remained silent the entire way. Looking at Jiang Suihe's appearance, Jiang Ling was still somewhat worried. A girl's first love had ended before it even began; anyone would probably be depressed for a few days in her shoes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ling decided to buy a parenting guide that night and study it carefully, which would at least be helpful for educating her four children in the future!
