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

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun Ning immediately became interested: "What? Oh my, who is it? Coming straight to the door and smashing things up? Won't Granny Yang be furious?"

Song Minglang had just broken his leg when his door was smashed up again.

This was undoubtedly adding insult to injury for the Song family.

But for Jiang Yunning, it was the icing on the cake.

She is happy when her enemy is in pain.

I can't help it, I'm just that petty.

Jiang Yun Ning could barely suppress the smile on her lips.

Aunt Hua didn't keep anyone in suspense and told them all the versions she had heard.

"They said the Song family owed money and hadn't paid it back by the due date, so people came to their door demanding repayment. Some people even said that Song Minglang borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates in the county town, a full fifty taels. Didn't he pay back Jiang Liushi thirty or forty taels at once? It all came from those exorbitant interest rates."

As Aunt Hua spoke, she shook her head repeatedly: "The Song family is too audacious to dare to dabble in usury. That stuff has compound interest, it's terrifying."

Jiang Yunning suddenly realized.

No wonder Song Minglang's attitude suddenly changed drastically, and he kept trying to please her. It turned out that he was thinking of coaxing her back and helping her pay off her loan shark debt.

The Song family's improved attitude a few days ago was actually to gain her trust.

Jiang Yun Ning suddenly realized that Song Ming Lang was really good at scheming.

If the soul inside this body wasn't the original owner, then she would have truly been fooled.

"Did they get the money? Is the Song family rich?" Jiang Yun Ning's curious look made Aunt Hua excited, and she immediately shook her head.

"Of course not. Think about it, the Song family is lazy and good-for-nothing. Without your help, they'd have trouble even getting food and drink."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun Ning felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Those people who lent money at exorbitant interest rates just left like that?" she wondered.

Aunt Hua laughed: "I heard from the onlookers that the loan shark will be back in three days. If they still don't pay back the money then, they'll take away their land."

Farmland is the lifeblood of peasant families, and the Song family is completely finished this time.

"But those few acres of land aren't enough to pay off the debt, are they?" Jiang Yun Ning calculated that six acres of land would be worth less than twenty taels of silver at most. The price would be even lower if used to settle the debt.

Aunt Hua shook her head: "I don't know, anyway, they said if he doesn't pay back the money, they'll chop off Song Minglang's hand."

Jiang Yunning blinked and suddenly thought of Song Mingzhen.

In this era where male chauvinism was prevalent, at this critical juncture, Song Mingzhen's fate was unlikely to be good.

Perhaps, Granny Yang will sell her for money to help Song Minglang cover his debts.

Just as Jiang Yuning was about to hitch up his car to pick up Jiang Anhe, Jiang Che returned covered in dust.

Seeing Jiang Yuning standing in the courtyard with a veil, I was glad that I hadn't forgotten the time.

Jiang Yun Ning almost went out alone again.

"Let's go. Let's go together." He took the whip from Jiang Yun Ning's hand, walked to the door, and steadily held the cow rope.

Jiang Yun Ning shrugged helplessly. Why did Jiang Che's gaze just now seem like he was looking at a criminal?

"I told Mom I'd call you from the new house on my way, I didn't expect you to walk there yourself," she explained somewhat reluctantly.

Jiang Che nodded: "Okay."

Such a cold response clearly indicated disbelief.

Jiang Yun Ning felt as if he had punched cotton.

As evening fell, white smoke billowed from the chimneys of every house in the village. A rich aroma of meat wafted from the Jiang family's courtyard.

Cooking will be quick tonight because Jiang Yuning brought some leftover food from the cafeteria at lunchtime, which can be heated up and eaten immediately.

Jiang Laosan, Wang Dashan, and Wang Erlin walked in front, while Jiang Yuntian and Wang Henian followed behind.

Hearing the noise, Wang Cuihua, Zhang Yuying, and the others quickly set up a table.

The whole family sat around the table, their casual conversation filling the somewhat dilapidated courtyard with a quiet happiness.

After dinner, Wang Dashan and the others were heading home.

Daya was already asleep, snoring as she lay on Wang Henian's back.

The Jiang family members also returned to their rooms.

Jiang Yuning had just taken a shower. She casually gathered her dirty clothes, which she had just changed out of, and carried them back to her room. She then put them aside and began to dry her still-dripping hair.

Just as I was lamenting the inconvenience of not having a hair dryer in ancient times, I saw Jiang Che carrying a wooden bucket over.

"What?" Her hand was still on the door, ready to close it.

Jiang Che stepped in and placed the wooden bucket filled with hot water on the ground: "Hot water can relieve fatigue. You must be tired today, so soak your feet."

His expression was calm, and if it weren't for his earlobes turning bright red, Jiang Yun Ning wouldn't have been able to tell that he was shy.

"Who said our Jiang Che is fierce? Isn't he very caring?" Jiang Yun Ning looked at him with a smile and sat down to soak her feet.

The water was a little hot, but not so hot that I was afraid to put my feet in it. The warm water gently enveloped my sore feet, which felt very comfortable.

Jiang Yunning smiled contentedly.

She forgot that a woman's feet should not be seen by men outside the family.

In her subconscious, she had long regarded Jiang Che as one of her own.

"Me." Jiang Che didn't expect that Jiang Yun Ning would take off her shoes and soak her feet before he even left.

He avoided looking at her, and picked up the clothes Jiang Yun Ning had just put aside to wash.

"I'm going to do the laundry." Jiang Che kept his head down, afraid of seeing Jiang Yun Ning's feet.

They're not married yet, so he can't look at Jiang Yun Ning's feet. It's not good for her.

Jiang Yunning suddenly looked up: "Wait a minute!"

She just remembered that her undergarment was also wrapped up inside.

Jiang Che used to wash her clothes, and she would take out her undergarment long ago.

But today, it hasn't been time yet.

Jiang Che looked back at her, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yun Ning pointed to the clothes in his arms: "Um... I just changed out of them."

Jiang Che nodded: "I know. Do you have anything else to wash?"

Jiang Yunning felt somewhat embarrassed.

To be honest, she's all talk and no action. If Jiang Che were to actually wash her undergarment, she would feel embarrassed.

"I mean, inside, the undergarment. It's there too."

For a moment, the room was quiet. Jiang Che blushed and put the clothes back where they were. "I'll wash them for you tomorrow."

As she stepped out the door, she nearly tripped and fell flat on her face, blocking Jiang Yun Ning's view.

After stumbling, he moved away quickly.

Jiang Yunning went out yawning in the early morning.

Jiang Che was practicing his boxing again. When he saw her come out, he approached her with a slightly evasive look in his eyes: "Do you still want to touch me?"

Jiang Yun Ning blinked, and a lecherous smile immediately appeared on his lips.

She reached out and groped Jiang Che's stomach haphazardly.

She only dared to look at the pectoral muscles in front of her, not touch them.

How embarrassing.

Jiang Yun Ning suddenly felt a heat on her face.

Touching someone without giving them a proper status, isn't that just being a scoundrel?

A great man once said that any relationship not aimed at marriage is just playing around.

Jiang Yun Ning immediately stopped.

"I'm going to the outhouse," she said, turning and walking towards the backyard.
