Chapter 236 A good man should be loyal to his king and serve his country!
After hearing this, Yu felt that what she said made sense.
No matter how pampered a girl is at her parents' home, she still has to please others when she goes to her husband's home.
The fact that Shuang'er understands these principles shows that she has grown up and become sensible.
But she was still worried.
"How did Wei Zan treat you? Did he ever scold you or beat you?" Yu asked.
"No, he has been so good to me, how could he bear to hit me or scold me?" Cen Shuang lowered her head and said with her hands clasped together. Her tone was very natural and it didn't sound like she was lying at all.
When Yu saw her like this, she thought that she was actually living a pretty good life. She didn't notice anything unusual about her and became relieved.
For Mrs. Yu, as long as her daughter lives a good life, this is more important than anything else.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say that if Wei Zan treated her badly in the future, he could just come back to her as his mother, and she would definitely support Cen Shuang.
But then she thought about the last time they talked about this, and the mother and daughter parted on bad terms. This time her daughter had finally come back, so why should she say these things to spoil the fun?
As long as Cen Shuang was bullied by her husband's family, she, as a mother, would definitely stand on her daughter's side.
So she said nothing and started talking about other topics.
Seeing that Yu stopped asking questions, Cen Shuang felt relieved, but also a little disappointed.
She thought of what Wei Zan said to her before he came back, and she couldn't help but tighten the corner of her clothes.
After staying at home for two days, just when Cen Shuang was extremely hesitant, a piece of news suddenly came from outside.
The war broke out again in the northern border and the imperial court began to recruit soldiers again. All the able-bodied men in several villages in Wuyao Mountain were among those conscripted.
When Old Lady Cen heard the news, she started to feel pain again: "It's always like this in previous years. If you don't want to be taken away as a soldier, you have to pay money. This head usually costs ten taels of silver... It's really killing me!"
In previous years, ten taels of silver would not have been a difficult matter for their family.
But this year, a lot of money has been put into the second house alone.
Now there is another conscription. Old Man Cen is old and he is a scholar, so he is not included in the conscription. However, the two brothers Cen Dajiang and Cen Dahe together need twenty taels of silver.
Adding all the previous expenses, this is a considerable expense.
"Why are you complaining? After all, we can still afford the money. Just grit your teeth and wait until autumn to sell the harvest, and then you will earn the money back." Old Man Cen really didn't like Old Lady Cen who always liked to cry poor about money. He thought it was unlucky and would make the family really poor.
"Alas, I just remembered those money-losing people in the second house and felt a little angry. If it weren't for the marriage of that little bitch Cen Yan, why would our family be so tight on money this year?" Old Mrs. Cen couldn't help but say.
"How did this marriage come about? Wasn't it because the eldest wife coaxed and deceived Cen Yan into arranging the marriage because she coveted Wei Zan's money? If it weren't for her, this marriage wouldn't have happened at all, and we wouldn't have to lose money later." Old man Cen frowned and listed Gao's faults.
"What you said is not right. Even if the eldest son's wife is a little greedy, if Cen Yan hadn't insisted on breaking off the engagement, wouldn't the money still be in our hands?" Old Mrs. Cen retorted.
After all, it's Cen Yan's fault, it's the second wife's fault!
Old Man Cen knew what she meant and was too lazy to argue with her, so he simply didn't say anything more.
On the other hand, when Cen Yan's family heard the news, they had no special reaction.
In their family, only Cen Dahai and Ji Yunzhan meet the requirements for conscription.
It was only twenty taels of silver, and she could take it out without blinking an eye.
Now, the soil quality of her thirty acres of land has been improved, and thirty acres of wasteland have become thirty acres of fertile farmland.
She was originally worried about what to plant on these lands.
As soon as I heard the news that a war was going to happen, I decided to plant herbs everywhere!
When fighting on the front lines, medicines are most urgently needed.
She believed that these herbs could make some money.
In addition, with Ji Yunzhan's help, she has now established vegetable and fruit supply relationships with several large restaurants in the county, and has a considerable fixed income every month.
So she really doesn't worry about money.
However, when Cen Dahai heard Cen Yan say that he would give him silver to exempt him from conscription, his attitude was a little strange, but he didn't say anything at that time.
However, within two days, the village head met Cen Yan again and told her that Cen Dahai had secretly gone to see him and signed up to join the army...
Cen Yan: “…”
She really doesn't understand her father.
When he returned home with a confused look on his face, Cen Dahai was busy preparing food for Li.
She just sat there, holding her little face, staring without blinking at her father who was happily serving his wife.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out why her father had signed up secretly.
He wants to fight?
Want to be a soldier?
Want to achieve success?
But this is too difficult.
Not to mention how dangerous the battlefield is, my dad is in his prime at this age and has the strength. But the problem is that when he first arrived, he can only be a soldier charging into battle, which is the easiest way to get killed.
Isn’t it nice for the whole family to be together in peace?
Why did he sign up for this title?
"Dad." Cen Yan was puzzled and simply asked him, "Do you want to join the army?"
When she asked this, the air suddenly became stagnant.
When Cen Yan opened her mouth to call Cen Dahai, Mrs. Li immediately looked over with a loving gaze, but when she heard the last words she said, she immediately looked at Cen Dahai again, her eyes full of shock.
"Hey, Xiaoyan, if you have anything to say, let's go out and talk about it later." Cen Dahai didn't want to say this in front of Li. He didn't expect that Cen Yan actually knew about this. Now that she knew about it, she had to say it directly in front of Li...
Of course, even if his daughter did this, he wouldn't dare to say anything wrong about her.
However, Cen Yan refused to do it.
"Dad, this is your fault. Mom and I are not outsiders, so why do you have to hide it like this? If the head of the village hadn't told me secretly, I wouldn't have known that you would take the initiative to sign up for the army! Other families are afraid that the men in the family will be taken away as conscripts, and they would sell everything they have to get the ten taels of silver. But you, on your own initiative, went to the head of the village to sign up... You are probably the first one in the village, right?" Cen Yan directly scolded him with some complaints.
After hearing this, Cen Dahai knew that he shouldn't do this.
But, the problem is...
"A good man should be loyal to his king and serve his country! If there is a war on the border, we should stand up!" Cen Dahai simply plucked up his courage and said excitedly.
