There is always something fishy behind all this, and there is definitely no good intention behind it.
Jiang Jiuyue crossed her feet leisurely, not paying any attention to the news.
She didn't know the original owner, so what did her nephew's marriage have to do with her?
Even if she is invited to a visit normally, she doesn't want to go. Doesn't the gift money have to be paid?
Although she had 20 taels of silver given by Zhao Kun as tuition, it was still not enough, and she didn't want to spend the money on something that shouldn't be spent.
Thinking of Yin, Jiang Jiuyue sat up straight again and remembered something.
When the former mother of the Jiang family was alive, the family was doing OK, with several acres of land and a cow. The original owner didn't have a penny, but didn't she go and get back some of the property that belonged to her?
Jiang Jiuyue had no idea that the Gu family property was inherited by male descendants. She believed that since the original owner was also a child born to the Jiang family's mother, she should inherit part of the family property.
Although a few acres of land is not much, if I give her half of it, it can also be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver.
Jiang Jiuyue instantly wanted to visit the Jiang family again.
In the afternoon, Jiang Jiuyue told Zhao Kun that she was going to visit her mother's family and postponed learning self-defense.
Zhao Kun didn't care. His vacation was about to end, so he would come back to learn from his master next time he had a vacation.
After finishing her afternoon studies, Jiang Jiuyue went back to her room to pack her luggage.
This time when I go to the Jiang family, I'm afraid I'll have to stay for more than one day. After I get the land, I have to sell it, and I probably won't be able to finish it in one day.
When the Liang family heard that Jiang Jiuyue was going back to her parents' home for a few days, they were as excited as ever, and they almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.
After Jiang Jiuyue packed her luggage, she also put all the food in the house into the space.
After cleaning up, Jiang Jiuyue went to the shabby house where Du Jinhua lived.
Du Jinhua looked at her defensively, "What are you going to do?!"
Jiang Jiuyue smiled very kindly, "Aren't I going to visit my mother's family? My nephew, as your aunt, I have to give you some gifts, right?"
Du Jinhua shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, aren't all my silver coins on you?"
Jiang Jiuyue approached her and looked down at her. "How did you go to invite the head of the village without money? Everyone knows that you are a master who will not release the eagle until you see the rabbit?"
Du Jinhua shrank her neck and insisted that she would not have the money, and she would never admit that she had bribed the head of the village.
Jiang Jiuyue sneered, "I told you nicely but you didn't listen. You have to be beaten up before you behave yourself."
As she spoke, Jiang Jiuyue pinched the arm of Du Jinhua that she had crushed. As soon as she started to apply force, Du Jinhua howled like a pig being slaughtered.
“Ahhhh! I’ll give it to you! Is it not okay for me to give it to you?”
Jiang Jiuyue let her go and said, "Tell me what you think. If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer this pain now."
Du Jinhua really wanted to die. She dragged her aching arm and took Jiang Jiuyue to the foot of the wall.
"There is silver buried under the third brick on the left. Dig it yourself."
Jiang Jiuyue took a look at Du Jinhua, who could only use one hand, and directly took out a hoe and dug out a jar in no time.
Use a hoe to smash the jar directly, revealing a small cloth bag.
Jiang Jiuyue opened the cloth bag, which contained about five taels of silver.
Du Jinhua's heart ached so much that it was about to bleed. This was five taels of silver!
Jiang Jiuyue weighed the money and was quite satisfied. However, this was not a gift money, but the compensation given to her by Du Jinhua.
Now her savings have increased to 25 taels of silver. If she can successfully get half of the Jiang family's property, it is estimated that it will increase to 50 taels.
When she finds a job as a bodyguard, it won't take long for her to save up a lot of money and start her own business.

The next morning, Jiang Jiuyue took her three daughters and set off for her mother's home.
Not long after she left, the first and second wives took action.
They wanted to take advantage of Jiang Jiuyue's absence to force that old hag Du Jinhua to divide the house so that they could live their own lives.
Du Jinhua was so angry that she jumped up and down, "What the hell are you talking about dividing up the family property? You are such unfilial people! As long as I am still alive, you can forget about dividing up the family property!"
When Jiang Jiuyue was away, Du Jinhua started to act like a mother-in-law again and was determined not to agree to separate the first and second rooms.
Ma Guichun and Chen Cuihong did not give in at all. They finally found this opportunity, and they must divide the family quickly so that they can leave this house before Jiang Jiuyue comes back!
"You old woman, you have to give it up today! Hand over the land deed and the silver!"
The reason why these two families have not secretly run away is that they don't have a penny on them. They can't bring a whole family back to eat and drink at her mother's house, right?
Du Jinhua roared madly, "Don't even think about it! You want to leave me, an old woman, to suffer here alone? You are dreaming! If we have to die, we will die together! Don't even think about it!"
Ma Guichun and Chen Cuihong were really anxious, so they rushed over to get together with Du Jinhua.
The three women rolled into a ball, with Du Jinhua's broken arm pressed underneath. She screamed in pain, which soon attracted the attention of the neighbors living nearby.
When she found someone coming, Du Jinhua's voice became even louder, crying and shouting for help. Her voice was so shrill that it frightened the neighbors.
But her screams were so miserable that the neighbors had no choice but to go and rescue Du Jinhua.
Du Jinhua was no match for her two daughters-in-law on her own. She was beaten badly, with her face scratched and her clothes torn in several places. Her arms were the worst injured, and she was in so much pain that tears kept streaming down her face.
Seeing how badly Du Jinhua was abused by her two daughters-in-law, the neighbors couldn't help but criticize her.
"No matter what she says, she is your mother-in-law. How can a daughter-in-law treat her mother-in-law like this? Look at how she treated her. Her arms are broken!"
Although the neighbor Granny Lin had a mediocre relationship with Du Jinhua on weekdays, seeing her being ganged up on by her two daughters-in-law, she was also somewhat indignant and began to blame Ma Guichun and the others.
"This is not ours. Her arm was broken by the third wife. What does it have to do with us?"
Ma Guichun quickly defended herself, saying that she was her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, but it was not them who broke her arm!
Du Jinhua's eyes rolled. Now is not the time to get involved with Jiang Jiuyue. She wants the neighbors to make the decision for her, suppress the arrogance of these two daughters-in-law, and resolutely not let them separate!
"They broke it! My arm was fine! They pressed it to the ground and crushed it!"
Du Jinhua placed the wound on her arm directly on the heads of her two daughters-in-law, and the neighbors looked at them with even more suspicion.
Chen Cuihong was anxious. If everyone believed what this old hag said, wouldn't their family be broken-backed?
We are not Jiang Jiuyue, so how can we be so brave as to fight against filial piety?
If I am really charged with beating my mother-in-law, my whole family will not be able to hold their heads up high.
