With an excited heart and trembling hands, Jiang Yongtian put the ginseng into his arms and kicked Jiang Xin, making him take two steps back: "Xiao Jiu is not awesome, but you are awesome, or why don't you try to commit suicide too?"
Jiang Xin rubbed his legs twice and shook his head repeatedly: "The King of Hell won't accept Xiao Jiu, but that doesn't stop him from not accepting me."
"Don't tell your wife about this ginseng thing. With her mouth, I guarantee that by tonight, everyone in the village will know that Xiaojiu dug ginseng."
"I understand, Dad."
Even if his father didn't tell him, he wouldn't get angry. If Ning Dani knew about this, he wouldn't be able to have peace of mind. He had to pass two ginsengs into her hands so that he could sleep peacefully.
On the other hand, Ge Shuzhen on the side grabbed Kexin's hand and touched it again and again. She couldn't get enough of looking at her. She grinned and said, "My daughter is so kind. If such a good girl gets married, I don't know whose family will get lucky."
Ning Dani, who entered the house carrying the meal, blurted out without even thinking, "She hasn't lived long enough, who would dare to marry her?"
In an instant, the temperature in the main room dropped suddenly.
The next moment, the eldest brother limped over, grabbing Ning Dani's hair and running straight to their house. In a short while, clanging sounds came from the south room, accompanied by voices begging for mercy. The noise was so shocking that it shook the world and made the gods and ghosts weep.
Jiang Kexin couldn't help but tremble in the main hall, thinking of her elder brother's ferocious face when he left, like an ox-headed and horse-faced monster. "Mom, will my sister-in-law be beaten to death?"
"How about you go and persuade Big Brother?"
Actually, what the elder sister-in-law said was not wrong. Which young man would despise his own long life? But everyone knew this, and it just so happened that the elder sister-in-law had to say it in front of her.
Of course, it doesn't matter if she says it, but saying it in front of her doting parents is asking for a beating. Can she still keep it for the New Year?
Listening to Ning Dani's screams from the next room, Ge Shuzhen snorted coldly, "Those brainless people who talk without thinking will learn their lesson after a few beatings."
Jiang Shan came home from work and heard his sister-in-law screaming as soon as he entered the yard. He trotted back to the main room, took off his straw raincoat and bamboo hat, and asked the people in the room: "My sister-in-law got beaten again."
"What's going on?"
A pair of curious eyes turned to the other three people, but unfortunately, his father and mother didn't even look at him.
Jiang Shan had no choice but to move closer to Ke Xin and nudge her with his elbow: "Tell me!"
"You said you like Miss Wang Mazi from the next village." Ke Xin raised her eyelids and said with a smile.
Ge Shuzhen and Jiang Yongtian looked over at the same time. How could they, the old couple, not know that their son had a sweetheart?
However...it seems that this girl has pockmarks all over her face, but she is still very hardworking. I didn’t expect that the second brother likes this!
The old couple stepped forward, smiles visible on their faces. Just as they were about to say something, Jiang Shan said hurriedly with a pale face, "Mom and Dad, don't listen to my nonsense. I don't want such an ugly girl. I would rather be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Jiang Yongtian and Ge Shuzhen: "(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~"
It's hard to say whether he likes her or not, and she even has the nerve to look down on him for being ugly. Her eyes are as big as the top of her head.
For dinner, there was sweet potato porridge, three-grain flour flatbread, and some pickles. That was all the farm food we had.
After washing up, the old couple lay on the bed and discussed in a low voice.
"Her father, if you sell this ginseng, save the money for your daughter."
Jiang Yongtian understood his wife's thoughts: "Our daughter has a bad reputation. If she can't get married, we can build a house for our child and set up a daughter's household. When we are both gone, we won't have to worry about the child being bullied by the sisters-in-law."
"It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else!"
A sigh came out of Ge Shuzhen's mouth, and the room fell into silence.
In the north room at that time, Jiang Kexin had no idea what her parents were thinking. At this moment, she was very busy in the space, using her mental power to farm. It was a bad life for her brain. She would eat more walnuts to supplement her nutrition.
After finishing the three acres of land in the space, she was so tired that she wanted to lie down. She left the space and lay down, but within two breaths she was already looking for Zhou Gong.
The next day, the rooster crowed tirelessly.
It would have been fine if only one rooster crowed like that, but all the roosters in the village joined in crowing, and the noise was unprecedented.
Ke Xin got up in a daze. Just as she stepped out of her room, a basin of hot water appeared in front of her. The one holding the hot water was her sister-in-law, whose head was swollen like a pig, and she was smiling at her.
"Sister, I was rude yesterday and said something unpleasant. Please don't take it personally."
Ke Xin looked to the east. Yes, it was facing the place where the sun rises, but this person... felt weird!
After washing her face, Ke Xin didn't need to serve her any food. A bowl of thick corn porridge was placed in front of her. She knew it was brought to her by her sister-in-law without even looking.
After dinner, the eldest and second brothers would go to the town’s dock to carry goods. Although the work was tiring, they could earn thirty copper coins a day, which was a considerable income.
Ge Shuzhen and Jiang Yongtian were going to sell ginseng, so they dragged Xiaojiu along with them. Ning Dani was the only one left in the house. She wanted to go to the town, but she knew that her swollen face would surely be laughed at if she went out, so she gave up the idea.
The family of five was walking on the way to the town when the head of the family, Jiang Yongtian, said, "The ginseng was dug by your sister. I sold it to your sister. Do you two have any objections?"
Jiang Xin and Jiang Shan shook their heads. The eldest, Jiang Xin, was the first to say, "This was dug by a girl, so it should be given to her."
Before today, Jiang Shan had no idea his sister had found ginseng. He smiled at Ke Xin and said, "My sister is really amazing."
