After wearing it: I traded a pig for a man.

Jiang Yuning promised to bring him tomatoes last time, but after waiting for two days, it was Jiang Yuntian who delivered them instead.

Wang Dahe asked around and learned that Jiang Yunning had actually gone deep into the mountains.

"Yes, Brother Wang. I went to the mountains to take a look." Jiang Yuning smiled and handed over a basket of fresh tomatoes. "These are ripe enough to make a cold salad."

"Hey girl, I want two jin too." The officer next to him also came over, so Wang Dahe didn't ask any more questions.

"These tomatoes are completely different from the ones I've seen before," the officer asked, quite curious.

They had all eaten the tomatoes Wang Dahe gave them, and the taste was indeed much better than they remembered. But while they were delicious, they were also expensive, almost as expensive as pork.

However, they were all government officials who were paid to skim money off others, so they didn't care about a few dozen coins.

"Maybe my dad takes good care of me," Jiang Yun Ning replied with a smile, then weighed a few more and added them on top.

She should sell as many tomatoes as possible now that they're not widely available. Otherwise, they'll be worthless once everyone starts planting them.

The negotiations for the ice jelly went smoothly, and Fumanlou will supply 500 bowls every day.

Jiang Yun Ning did the math and realized that they would need to find someone to help with making ice jelly. She wondered if Aunt Hua would be willing to do it.

The two returned home, and had barely sat down when it was time to set up their stall at the college gate again.

Before the stall was even set up, yesterday's regular customers had already gathered around.

Fortunately, we prepared enough for today, and there were still two large buckets left when the students came out.

The two of them kept looking up as they worked, but even though the ice jelly was almost empty, they still couldn't see Jiang Anhe's small figure.

"This guy, could he have been kept after class by the teacher?" Jiang Yun Ning was a little worried, and called out to Jiang Che, who was packing up the stall, "I'll go in and check, you keep it for now."

Jiang Che nodded: "I'll come in to find you soon."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun Ning felt inexplicably at ease, nodded, and walked into the academy.

She randomly stopped someone to ask for directions and quickly walked in the direction the person pointed.

In the introductory class, Jiang Anhe's eyes were red, and she clenched her little fists angrily.

It would be a lie to say that a person wouldn't be afraid when facing Zhang Manjin, who is several years older and overweight.

But he always remembered Jiang Yunning's words.

Boys should neither cause trouble nor be afraid of trouble.

"I won't write it for you! The teacher said that you have to complete your own homework!" Jiang Anhe refused to back down.

Zhang Manjin was rejected again, and he started to dislike Jiang Anhe.

Why should he receive praise from the teacher so soon after arriving? He's been here for a year and the teacher hasn't praised him at all.

"I'll make you write it for me!" Zhang Manjin has had everything he wanted since he was a child, and has never been refused repeatedly.

He got angrier and angrier as he spoke, and then he reached out and shoved him.

Jiang Anhe was a head shorter than him and not as strong, so he was pushed and stumbled, falling to the ground.

His bottom hurt a little from the fall, but he pursed his lips, got up, rubbed his bottom with his little hands, and continued to reason with him: "You can't hit people!"

Zhang Manjin was initially a little embarrassed, but upon hearing this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and charged forward: "I'll hit you!"

Jiang Anhe's face was tense.

Although she was scared, she didn't run away and instead started fighting with Zhang Manjin.

"What are you doing!"

Jiang Qiusheng quickly separated the two and looked at Zhang Manjin with a worried expression: "Manjin, are you alright?"

This is Boss Zhang's eldest grandson, the Zhang family's precious son.

Jiang Youcai and his wife both work for Boss Zhang. A couple of days ago, Boss Zhang heard Zhang Manjin complaining that a student had come and was praised by the teacher not long after.

Boss Zhang then remembered that Jiang Youcai's son was a student of the imperial examinations, so he asked him to tutor Zhang Manjin in the evenings, and offered him a price of ten coins a day.

Today was the first day. Jiang Qiusheng waited at the door for a while but no one came in, so he went in to look for them.

As soon as they entered, they encountered Zhang Manjin fighting with someone.

"You beat him up for me!" Zhang Manjin angrily pointed at Jiang Anhe behind him.

Jiang Qiusheng disliked being bossed around, but dared not show it.

He stood up, his mouth just opened, and the next second his face showed surprise.

"Jiang Anhe?"

Jiang Yuntian's son? How does he have the money to go to school in town?

"What? Your father used the money your uncle paid back to send you to school?" Jiang Qiusheng said with a disdainful look.

The tuition at Qingshan Academy was not cheap; the beginner class cost two taels a year, and the junior class cost five taels a year.

Once you pass the preliminary examination, you'll enter the county-level scholar class, which costs ten taels a year, not to mention other expenses like writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

Therefore, many students who passed the preliminary examination for the title of Tongsheng chose to study at home because they could not afford the tuition for the Xiucai class.

Given Jiang Yuntian's rough and uncultured nature, it would be quite an achievement if he could even get into the elementary school.

"What are you babbling about?" Seeing that he didn't make a move, Zhang Manjin raised his leg and kicked Jiang Qiusheng in the shin.

Although he is only nine years old, he is quite strong.

Caught off guard, Jiang Qiusheng's legs went weak from the pain.

But he couldn't afford to offend Zhang Manjin, so he could only vent his anger on Jiang Anhe.

"Jiang Anhe!" he gritted his teeth. "What did you do? Apologize to Manjin."

Jiang Anhe snorted.

He didn't do anything wrong, so why should he apologize?

Jiang Anhe turned her head away from him and reached for her book bag.

"Don't leave!" Zhang Manjin shouted impatiently, kicking Jiang Qiusheng again. "What are you standing there for? Didn't you see he was about to leave?"

After being kicked around by a nine-year-old child time and time again, Jiang Qiusheng's face inevitably darkened.

"Jiang Anhe." He reached out and grabbed Jiang Anhe's book bag. He didn't control his strength and pulled Jiang Anhe to the ground.

He was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to help, he heard a roar.

"Jiang Qiusheng!"

Turning her head, she saw Jiang Yun Ning rushing towards her, lifting her skirt, and then she received a solid kick.

"Have you no shame for bullying a child!" At this moment, Jiang Yun Ning was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, kicking the person down without thinking twice.

"Are you alright, Anhe? Are you hurt anywhere?" She hurriedly helped Jiang Anhe up, anxiously feeling her from head to toe.

When Jiang Anhe saw Jiang Yunning arrive, she stopped pretending. The stubbornness on her face immediately turned into a look of grievance, and she couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears.

"Waaah, Auntie. My bottom hurts." He threw himself into Jiang Yun Ning's arms.

He fell twice on his butt in a short period of time. Even with a lot of flesh, it still hurts.

Jiang Qiusheng had just gotten up when he heard him complain of a sore bottom. Thinking it was because he had pulled too hard, he immediately felt a little guilty.

It's really not honorable for an adult to bully a child.

"I didn't mean to." Jiang Qiusheng was a little embarrassed, his eyes darting around, unsure of where to look.

"It's alright, it's alright, Auntie's here." Jiang Yun Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but her gaze toward Jiang Qiu Sheng became even more piercing.

Zhang Manjin, who had been ignored all along, was unhappy and angrily pushed Jiang Qiusheng, who was blocking her way.

"How come you can't even beat a woman!" He glared at Jiang Anhe, pointing at her. "I don't care, I want him to do my homework. It's not like I'm not going to pay him."

He's been asking her for days, but Jiang Anhe just won't agree.

How annoying.

Jiang Anhe snorted, wrapped her arms around Jiang Yunning's neck, and turned her back to him.

Jiang Yun Ning roughly understood, and stood up while holding Jiang An He: "If you continue to act unreasonably, I'm going to your parents' house."

"No!" Jiang Qiusheng hurriedly stopped him.

If this gets to Old Master Zhang's ears, it could really cause a huge problem.
