"What a bunch of bullshit about being affectionate and loyal. What good can come out of a widow's nest? They might have hooked up years ago. No wonder Widow Jiang is holding him back from getting married at such an old age.
Only brothels would accept such a thing that had been raped and deflowered. Even the bachelors in the mountains who couldn't find wives wouldn't want it. "Pah, those good scholars are full of tales of thieves and whores." He was furious. If this sold girl fell into her trap, she wouldn't be easier to control than a girl from a respectable family!
She was born inferior to others, and she could control her offspring in the future. If she gave birth to a child, it would mean that her son would be a slave, and if her child's child was born, it would mean that her grandson would be a slave.
Where can I find such a good candidate to fill the wife's household?
After listening to He's scolding, He the hunter finally felt a little better.
Finally, he discovered something extraordinary. "I see that you are much better today?" Hunter He was a little bit unconvinced. After all, the doctor at the foot of the mountain also said that it was during this period of time that he was asked to prepare for his funeral.
"Uh..." He Shiru's throat was pinched, "Why do I cry so much? I married you, the hunter He, but I didn't enjoy a single day of happiness. Instead, I gave birth to three sons, four daughters, seven children for you. Without the help of parents-in-law, I raised every child with my own hands.
Seeing my son getting married and my daughter getting married, I just waited to enjoy the good life. But the damn heavens are blind, I collapsed from exhaustion, lying in bed in agony. Now that I have a moment of clarity, you, the heartless hunter He, still think I am lazy and not doing anything..."
He the Hunter: ...I forgot about the last breath.
Changsheng, who was looking after his fifth, sixth and seventh sisters in the yard, said: Howl, you won’t die in a while.
Jiang family.
The wedding of Jiang Dani and Jiang Haoze was very simple. They only had a wedding character posted on the door. Widow Jiang drank the tea offered by the two and then put Dani's clothes in Jiang Haoze's room. The ceremony was considered complete.
Jiang Haoze was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change from siblings to husband and wife.
In the past few years, he really wanted to marry Dani off. He also deliberately avoided Dani on weekdays, just to keep a close eye on the relationship between men and women. He was afraid that someone would dig up the past and damage Dani's reputation.
"Xiao Ze, have some Hebao wine." Although Dani had no official status, the Jiang family followed all the necessary procedures.
Now it is Jiang Dani herself who does not want a formal status, she knows that she cannot help Xiaoze's future.
Jiang Haoze originally thought that they would not consummate their marriage before the marriage certificate was finalized, but who would have thought that something was added to the wedding wine, and as a result, the wedding night took place.
Since he had just gotten married, Widow Jiang no longer urged her son to take the exam.
Her son is still young, and she can afford to wait. Once she has a grandson in her arms, she will have hope for the rest of her life, and then she can let her son go to take the imperial examination.
"Xiao Ze, this is for you." The two of them consummated their marriage, and their relationship blossomed. Dani took out all the private money she had saved over the years and gave it to Jiang Haoze.
"My dear, I can't accept it. I've been feeling much better these days and have already taken a job copying books at the bookstore." Getting married means you're an adult and you have to find a way to make money to support your family.
"I know you want to take the Tongshi exam, but it's not easy to ask mother for money. This is what I've saved over the years. I wanted to give it all to my mother, but she said that a girl can't be without money. Money is a woman's confidence. So my mother only took a small amount from me each time and kept most of it for me.
You were sick before, and it cost quite a bit of money. I wanted to give it to you, but Mother wouldn't take it. Mother probably doesn't have much money left, so if you want me to be your own, then take it." Jiang Dani blushed.
You only wanted me to be your sister before, so I was a good sister to you. But now I am the mother of your future child, so I have to pay this money.
"Okay, I'll accept what my wife gives me, and wait for your husband to win an imperial decree for you and mother." Jiang Haoze leaned his head on Jiang Dani's shoulder. His wife didn't want to give him a name, and usually she didn't even want to call him husband, for fear that she would get used to it and reveal the truth one day.
He tried to persuade her several times, but to no avail. He stubbornly called out to his wife, "I'll go out for the exam soon and go to the government office to get the marriage certificate back. When I get the degree and the marriage certificate, it will be a double blessing, which will surely make his wife feel relieved."
"Haoze, mother doesn't want you to take the exam. I'm really worried about your health. Your right eye has been twitching violently these past few days. But these past two days, you and Dani consummated your marriage, and mother's heart is finally at ease." Widow Jiang held her son's hand. She valued rules the most in her life, but she only had this son left, and she couldn't lose him.
"Mother, as the saying goes, when good things happen, people are in high spirits. My son just got married, and he's in great health."
"You little bastard." Such a serious scholar actually joked with his parents.
It had been many years since he had seen his son laugh so happily. He turned around and took out Dani's indenture from the cabinet and held it in his hand for a long time.
"Take it and exchange it for the marriage certificate." The mother and son talked in a low voice, afraid that their daughter-in-law would hear them.
"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely be able to earn a royal title for you and my wife."
"As long as my son comes back safe and sound," she said, reaching for the silver again. She realized it wasn't enough, so she had to borrow some from the village chief. The embroidery in her hand would take another two months to be finished and exchanged for money.
It’s a pity that as I get older, my eyesight isn’t as good as before and I can’t embroider as fast as before.
"Mother, my wife gave me all her money, and I still have some money left, which is enough for me to take the Tongshi exam." I can't spend all the money at home. What if something happens and I have no money?
"A poor family is rich on the road. Besides, you are weak and you can't save some money. Your wife and I have everything we need at home and there is no place to spend money." As he said that, he stuffed the last savings of the family into his pocket.
In this life, after Jiang Haoze took part in the college entrance examination and confirmed that he was on the list and became a scholar, he returned home.
He had been away from home for nearly half a year, either taking exams or in school, and he missed home.
Although he felt that he had a chance of passing the provincial examination, he was short of money and he was also in poor health and needed to take good care of himself.
It's only three years, he can wait.
With the title of scholar, life at home will be much better.
After Jiang Haoze returned home, he looked at his wife's bulging belly and felt that most of his old illness had gone away.
Three good things happening at once!
Jiang Dani looked at the marriage certificate in her hand and felt that it was worth a million gold.
How could she have been so lucky in her life to meet such a good husband and a mother-in-law who treated her like her own daughter.
The Jiang family had a scholar, and they had not originally planned to hold a banquet, but thinking that the wedding would not be a big deal, Widow Jiang finally agreed to hold one.
The village chief's wife took the initiative to bring people to run around, which made the villagers jealous.
Look, this is the golden phoenix that flew out of a poor nest, and everyone wants to come and flatter her.
It’s no wonder that Widow Jiang has been frugal and gritting her teeth to support her children’s education over the years.
