Jiang Yan looked at the young couple, a flood of emotion filling his heart. He hoped that this test would help Ling Yun truly grow, and that Nian Li would understand that love isn't just about the romantic moments; it requires facing the challenges of life. Su Jinli, watching from the sidelines, smiled. She believed that after this period of testing, Ling Yun and Nian Li's relationship would deepen, and their future life would be even happier.
After leaving the main hall, Ling Yun began to work diligently towards his goal. He rose before dawn each day, armed with his bow and arrow, and headed up the mountain to hunt. In the mountains and forests, he was like a nimble cheetah, darting through the dense woods. With his keen observation and masterful archery, he frequently reaped rich rewards. Whenever he caught prey, he would take it to the market to sell, carefully saving the money he earned.
In his spare time, Ling Yun studied accounting with Si Yan. He knew that if he wanted to earn enough money in six months, hunting alone would not be enough. Accounting was a completely new field for him, but with his tenacious perseverance and ingenuity, he quickly mastered the art. Si Yan praised Ling Yun's learning ability and often patiently guided him. As they worked together, their relationship grew harmonious.
Nianli, on the other hand, wasn't idle either. Although she couldn't go out and earn money like Lingyun, she helped Su Jinli with household chores and learned various housekeeping skills. She knew that after marrying Lingyun, she would also have to shoulder the responsibility of the family. She also used her free time to prepare some dry food and clothes for Lingyun, in case he went out.
As the days passed, Ling Yun's efforts gradually bore fruit. His hunting income grew, and he became more and more skilled at accounting, even helping Si Yan solve some tricky accounting problems. Jiang Yan and Su Jinli observed this and grew increasingly satisfied with Ling Yun's performance. However, six months passed in a flash. Could Ling Yun earn enough money to marry Nian Li within the stipulated time? What would become of his and Nian Li's love? The entire Jiang family quietly awaited the answer, as a test of love and growth quietly unfolded...
As time passed, the six-month deadline drew closer. Ling Yun, feeling the urgency of time, worked even harder. Every day, he not only spent more time hunting but also took on more escort duties. During these missions, he successfully protected his employers with his exceptional martial arts skills and courage, earning him a good reputation and a generous reward.
During a security mission, Ling Yun was assigned to escort a wealthy businessman to a distant city. En route, they were intercepted by a group of bandits. Wielding sharp blades, they charged forward, intent on robbing the businessman of his belongings. Undeterred, Ling Yun quickly drew his sword and engaged the bandits in a fierce battle. His swift physique and swift swordplay were unstoppable, as he weaved through the bandits with ease. After a fierce battle, Ling Yun successfully repelled the bandits and secured the businessman's safety. The businessman, deeply grateful for Ling Yun's bravery, not only paid him a generous reward but also pledged to hire him again if needed in the future.
At the same time, Siyan also introduced Lingyun to some accounting jobs for businesses. With this period of learning and practice, Lingyun managed his accounts in an orderly manner, earning praise from the businesses. This extra income brought Lingyun one step closer to his goal.
Seeing Ling Yun toiling so hard, Nian Li felt both heartache and pride. Every day, she would wait for him at the gate of the mansion, offering him a cup of hot tea and listening to his stories of the day. When Ling Yun felt tired, Nian Li would give him a relaxing massage and offer warm encouragement. She firmly believed that Ling Yun would be able to fulfill his promise and win his father's approval.
Jiang Yan and Su Jinli watched Ling Yun's efforts and growth with a secret joy. Jiang Yan often observed Ling Yun from the shadows, and his doubts about him gradually dissipated as he watched him tirelessly strive to marry Nianli. Su Jinli, on the other hand, would give Ling Yun more care in his daily life, preparing nourishing food for him to keep him energetic.
Finally, the six-month agreement expired. Ling Yun arrived early that day at the main hall of the Jiang residence. He was dressed neatly, his attire simple, yet exuding a spirit of energy. Jiang Yan, Su Jinli, Nianli, and Si Yan were already waiting in the hall. Ling Yun took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pulled a cloth bag from his bosom. He carefully opened it, revealing a stack of banknotes and some loose change.
Ling Yun said respectfully, "Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, the six-month period has expired. This is the money I have earned in the past six months. I don't know if it is enough, but I have tried my best."
Jiang Yan took the cloth bag, examined it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He looked at Ling Yun and said, "Ling Yun, you really didn't disappoint me. We have all seen your hard work over the past six months. You have proven your ability and determination with your own hands."
Su Jinli also smiled and said, "Yes, Lingyun, you are a good and responsible child. We believe that you will definitely bring happiness to Nianli."
Nianli ran to Lingyun happily with tears in her eyes and held his hand tightly. Lingyun looked at Nianli and said with deep affection in his eyes: "Nianli, I did it. I can finally marry you openly."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, in that case, I will keep my promise and prepare your wedding."
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the hall was suddenly filled with laughter. Ling Yun and Nian Li's love, after this test, has become even more indestructible. They are about to enter a new stage of life, and the Jiang family will be filled with more joy and warmth because of this happy event. What stories will Ling Yun and Nian Li experience in the days to come? Will their life be as beautiful as they expected? Everything is full of unknowns and longings...
