Hearing Tian Guihua's worries, Jiang Yi quickly went over to explain, "Grandma, you don't need to worry about any of this."
One set consists of tickets and certificates I've accumulated over the years, and the other set is a congratulatory gift originally given to me by a comrade-in-arms.
The 36 legs were the pieces of wood I traded with a fellow villager using the coupons I had saved up over the years; all of these have proper documentation.
These gifts were actually allowances and subsidies I'd saved up over the years; they all have a source.
Jiang Yi did not lower his voice so that the onlookers outside could hear him clearly.
He wanted to marry her in a grand and glorious way, so naturally he wouldn't leave any future troubles for himself.
Some people who were tempted to take action gave up their plans after hearing this.
Just because they lack the ability to acquire these things doesn't mean Jiang Yi doesn't. He has extensive connections, and since he's single and doesn't have a family to support, he can certainly afford them.
At the same time, she felt a pang of regret, wondering how such a good son-in-law could have been taken away by the Hua family.
What happened at the Hua family today was not only a big topic of conversation in their own courtyard, but by the next day it had spread throughout the entire county.
Some people also made sarcastic remarks to Jiang Yin, saying, "Look at how much you helped your nephew back then, and how hard you worked to raise his child, but he turned around and went to take care of his parents-in-law. You, as his aunt, didn't get anything in return. Didn't you raise an ungrateful wretch?"
Although Jiang Yin felt a little bitter, she wouldn't be so easily provoked. "Isn't this what I should do? I'm just an aunt, and in the future, our family will have a niece-in-law in charge. If we don't treat her well, who will we treat well?"
Besides, my son Xiaoyi has asked me about these things, and I agree with him. If he can afford it, he should give more, after all, it's not easy for someone to raise a girl like that.
It seems you have two daughters in your family, right? Would you really let someone marry you empty-handed?
The other party stopped talking. If this were her future son-in-law, she would think it was too little, how could she possibly think it was too much?

The wedding date has been set for the end of August, when the autumn weather will be clear and pleasant, making it an auspicious time for a happy occasion.
These past two days, Hua Xiangyun has heard mostly congratulations, along with some rather subtle sarcastic remarks.
Even teachers who are usually quiet will stop and tease her when they see her.
Wu Chenxi received the news at the end of the county and was already discussing what gifts to send.
However, that's all a few months from now; Qingming Festival is here now.
The master and apprentice agreed to meet again at the West City Reservoir.
During the days that Yuan Tianjing was waiting, he caused quite a bit of trouble in this mountain forest.
He harbored resentment, and his antics caused everyone who came to fish to leave empty-handed, so gradually no one came anymore.
When all around became quiet, he felt uncomfortable and vented his anger by howling like a ghost in the deep mountains, causing everyone to spread rumors that there were evil spirits in the mountains. Hua Xiangyun naturally heard about it as well.
“You’ve arrived,” Yuan Tianjing said, now only thinking about filing a complaint and finding out who owed him.
"Are you all ready?" Wu Chenxi didn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial moment. "Only if you are sincere can we succeed."
Yuan Tianjing nodded, he was almost impatient, "But didn't you say before that there was no way? Are you confident now?"
“I didn’t know the reason before, but you have been wronged. You can appeal to the Underworld. The information held by the underworld officials is much more detailed than what is kept in this world. If you have any questions, you can go down there to investigate.”
Wu Chenxi was also a little uneasy. Hua Xiangyun's cultivation level was not high enough to summon Yin messengers, so this heavy responsibility fell on her shoulders.
They chose this day because it's easier to communicate with the spirits of the underworld during Qingming and Zhongyuan Festival.
Now that both sides were ready, Wu Chenxi began to set up her own dojo. With everything in place, Hua Xiangyun was also helping out.
When the appointed time arrived, Wu Chenxi began her ritual. She was a little nervous, as this was not her forte.
Each sect has its own way of communicating with underworld officials, using its own set of incantations.
Just as sweat began to bead on Wu Chenxi's forehead, an illusory road slowly appeared.
A servant dressed in a long white robe, whose face was obscured, appeared before them, exuding a chilling aura.
"A thousand-year-old ghost?" Before the master and disciple could even speak, the other party had already set their sights on Yuan Tianjing.
“Lord of the Underworld,” Wu Chenxi introduced herself and then told him what she knew.
"So the isolation array set up on this mountain also caused us underworld messengers to overlook this place." Although the other party spoke calmly, Hua Xiangyun could sense the anger already present within him.
What Rongna did was practically a provocation against the Underworld, keeping ghosts here just to satisfy his own desires.
If it weren't for the fact that the Xuanmen people noticed this, and if the old ghost had actually cultivated into a ghost immortal and harmed the local people, he would not only have ended his job as a ghost messenger, but would definitely have been implicated as well.
The Yuan Tianjing itself still had some malevolent energy, but it dissipated the moment the ghost messenger appeared.
That innate sense of oppression made him afraid to take any action, and he obediently hid behind Hua Xiangyun.
Now, when the ghost messenger asks him questions, he doesn't even have the courage to answer.
Wu Chenxi performed the ritual and said, "Yes, sir."
"But my skills aren't enough to break this formation."
The ghost messenger, also wanting to investigate, reached out and grabbed at the air, and indeed found a barrier.
It was because of this barrier that they had been traveling around the world for many years and had overlooked this mountain.
If it weren't for this mysterious master performing a ritual to lure him here today, they would still be kept in the dark.
Reach out the window and flip over a mirror, then flick your wrist and it flies through the air. Soon, a beam of light shoots out from the mirror and focuses in one spot.
"Go and take out what's inside," the ghost messenger said to Wu Chenxi and the others. "The formation is broken, so the contents are yours."
Anyway, that thing was of no use to him, so he might as well give it to this human sorcerer.
Wu Chenxi didn't dare to delay and personally dug the things out of the ground with Hua Xiangyun.
She drew the sword, which gleamed with a cold light. The intricate array of incantations on it made her swallow hard.
Rong Na is indeed worthy of being a national advisor; he uses such valuable resources for formations.
Not to mention that her skills were inadequate and she couldn't find the key point of the formation.
If it weren't for the help of the underworld officials, she wouldn't have dared to take out the sword so easily.
The underworld official glanced at it, flipped his hands a few times, and a slight tremor came from the forest, but it quickly returned to calm.
"Now that the formation is broken, the Yuantian Mirror will leave with me."
Although he was a thousand-year-old ghost, he had no karmic ties to him, which made the underworld official's tone somewhat better.
Yuan Tianjing dared not delay and mustered his courage to approach the underworld officials.
However, halfway there, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Hua Xiangyun and her apprentice, saying, "I have no way to repay this master's kindness."
I have already had the rabbits in the tomb retrieve the treasures from this mountain and placed them in front of the grave. This is the only way I can repay them for now.
Those rabbits have lived in my grave for generations; I implore you two masters not to harm them.
Hua Xiangyun, "..." This is truly an eye-opener; this thousand-year-old ghost actually has connections with rabbits...
