On the way home, Jiang Xiaoyu saw a man lying on the side of the road. She pretended not to see him. When she was about to pass by him, the man suddenly called her.
"Help... Help! Please help me..."
What are you saving? You can’t just pick up a man on the street. If you pick him up, he will be a disaster.
"Host, please don't be so cold and heartless. Maybe he can solve your urgent problem now."
Jiang Xiaoyu turned back and squatted down.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I really can't do anything."
"Look at my little girl, covered in patches. Do you think she's someone who can take you to the clinic?"
The man coughed twice.
"I have money."
Why didn’t you say so earlier? Everything can be negotiated if you have money.
The man refused to go to the town's clinic no matter what, so Jiang Xiaoyu could only help him hide in a grass pit.
She took the silver given by the man and pretended to go to town to buy medicine.
In fact, he went around the mountain to watch him. After calculating the time, he ran around the mountain again. Then he came back sweating and panting.
"Young Master, I bought the medicine. This is for taking, and this is for applying to external wounds."
As soon as he took the medicine, Bai Shao felt full of strength and the wound didn't hurt much anymore.
"Thank you, young lady. Could you please take me in?"
What? You still want to stay in my house?
"Do you have any money left?"
Bai Shao directly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to her.
"Is that enough?"
Enough, enough, enough, oh, you rich guy!
Let’s go, let’s go home immediately. No, it’s time for Mr. Chen to go home too.
Why don’t we wait a little longer and let him carry the person back?
From a distance, I saw Chen's father walking towards me, covered in dust.
Jiang Xiaoyu shouted loudly:
"father…!"
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing...?"
After hearing what his daughter said, Mr. Chen's bent back straightened instantly.
He happily carried Bai Shao back home in one breath.
At home, Chen's mother was cursing Jiang Xiaoyu in her heart while making dinner.
Xiaoyu, this damn girl, said she would come back to help harvest the beans, but she didn't even go to the fields and didn't even cook dinner or feed the pigs. Really, they just know how to cheat.
Hearing the noise coming from outside the yard, Chen's mother hurried out to see what was going on.
Jiang Xiaoyu told the story again.
"Mom, I wanted to come back to help you, but I met Mr. Bai on the way, so I went back to town to buy medicine. That's why I came back late. Mom, you won't blame me, right?"
Mother Chen took a bite of the silver coins.
"Girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How could mother blame you?"
My mother was so happy that she couldn’t contain herself after rescuing the God of Wealth.
Soon the marriage between the Chen and Wang families was settled, and a few days later, Wang Xiaocui married into the family.
The Chen family was poor and had only a few rooms. After Bai Shao came, Jiang Xiaoyu had to live in the woodshed.
Chen Daoyuan stayed in the house every day to accompany his new wife.
"Xiaoyu, feed the pigs and boil two eggs for your sister-in-law."
Jiang Xiaoyu turned a deaf ear to him. "Bah! This is your job. You want me to do it? You're dreaming."
"Mr. Bai has eaten."
"Thanks."
Seeing that there was no movement in the yard, Wang Xiaocui went to the kitchen to take a look, and returned to the house with a wronged look on her face.
When Chen Daoyuan saw her like this, he felt heartbroken.
"What's wrong, Xiao Cui? Who bullied you?"
"It's nothing. I just wanted to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of porridge, but there was nothing in the pot. I just saw Xiaoyu bring a bowl."
Chen Daoyuan immediately stood outside the house and shouted:
"Xiaoyu, where is your sister-in-law's breakfast?"
Bai Shao looked up.
"It's okay, Mr. Bai, continue eating. I'll go out and take a look."
"Brother, what are you yelling about? Isn't breakfast already in the pot?"
As he said that, he took two blackened steamed buns from the kitchen and stuffed them into his hands.
"Brother, remember to feed the pigs and clean the yard. I'm going to the fields."
After saying that, without waiting for his response, he quickly picked up the hoe and ran away.
Wang Xiaocui started crying again.
"Brother Daoyuan, does Xiaoyu not like me? I know I've let her down. If it weren't for me, you two would have been a couple."
Bai Shao listened in the room for a long time and finally understood. At first he was very confused and asked why she was the daughter of this family but had the surname Jiang instead of Chen?
It turns out that she was an adopted daughter, or a child bride.
After his son got married, Chen's father stopped working at the dock.
The whole family works in the fields every day.
Bai Shao rested for about half a month and finally stopped staying in the house and came out to eat with everyone.
Wang Xiaocui knew that there was a noble young man recuperating here at home.
I just didn't expect him to be such a handsome young man.
I was too shy to look at him the whole time, but the more I didn't dare to look, the more I wanted to peek.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoyu and Bai Shao talking and laughing, he felt inexplicably jealous.
That day, he pretended to be very diligent and helped Chen's mother to light the fire in the kitchen.
"Mom, Xiaoyu is thirteen now, right? Isn't it time for her to find a husband?"
"It's not that my mother and I dislike Xiaoyu, but there are only three rooms in our house. If we have children in the future, I'm afraid there will be no place for them to live."
Mother Chen thought about it carefully and felt that her daughter-in-law was right.
Originally, I raised Xiaoyu to find a daughter-in-law for my son. Now that my son has Xiaocui, there is an extra mouth to feed at home, and I really can't afford to keep her.
And Thirteen is indeed not a child anymore. She can live in her husband's house for two years first and then have her wedding night.
Wang Xiaocui went back to her parents' home and came back with a smile on her face.
After saying a few words in Chen's mother's ear, her face was full of smiles.
"Xiaoyu, your sister-in-law has found you a good marriage. It's not far away, just in town. The family is a butcher. Your life will be easy if you marry into the family. You'll have meat to eat every ten days or half a month."
