Chapter 42 Jiang Chengzong climbs high branches

Wang Yiyi mingled among the onlookers and, seeing the Jiang family's attitude, knew that the matter was settled.

As Xiao Lanhua was leaving, she spat out, "This down-and-out guy, I don't know how he caught our young lady's eye and became our son-in-law."

Her voice wasn't quiet, and many people heard it. Immediately, someone asked, "Who is your young lady?"

Little Orchid glanced at the man: "Where did this mud-covered wretch come from, daring to inquire about my young lady's affairs?"

With that, he raised his head, got into the oxcart waiting at the village entrance, and left, leaving the villagers gossiping.

Wang Yiyi couldn't help but give Xiao Lanhua a thumbs up in her heart. Her acting skills and lines were definitely worth the money.

She refused to believe that the Jiang family would remain calm and not come to annul the engagement after receiving this confirmation.

Wu finally felt relieved, and the pent-up frustration of the past few days vanished. Even the shadow of being beaten by a "ghost" that night disappeared.

Someone asked her which young lady had sent someone to find her, implying that Jiang Chengzong's good fortune was imminent.

She didn't give a definite answer, saying, "My Chengzong is a lucky man. You just wait and see; he has great fortune."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house.

After watching the commotion, Wang Yi skipped home. As soon as she entered the house, she exclaimed, "I just saw a huge commotion at the Jiang family's door!"

Making 300 jin of tofu every day is no easy task, and almost the entire Wang family pitched in.

Some were chopping wood, others were grinding tofu, and for a moment no one really noticed what had happened at the Jiang family's house.

Li looked up, her face full of gossip: "What's all the fuss about? Tell me about it!"

I wish it would be like the last time it was haunted.

Wang Yiyi vividly described the scene: "Today, a respectable maid came to the Jiang family. I heard she came to ask Jiang Chengzong to be her young lady's son-in-law. I guess her young lady is the county magistrate's daughter."

Li's smile froze: "My goodness, the magistrate is so magnanimous! He beat someone up, and now he's making him his son-in-law?"

She was a little unhappy. How could Jiang Chengzong, who treated her daughter like this, still be able to marry the county magistrate's daughter? Her words carried a hint of sourness.

Daya chimed in, "Mother, this is a good thing. If the magistrate really made Jiang Chengzong his son-in-law, wouldn't he be willing to break off the engagement?"

Li's eyes lit up; that made sense. She immediately smiled again: "That's right, let's wait for them to come."

Wang Dashan's worries of the past few days finally dissipated a little. He didn't envy Jiang Chengzong for climbing the social ladder; he only wanted his daughter to be happy.

The family immediately cheered and chattered about what to eat that evening to celebrate.

The Jiang family was also enveloped in excitement, especially Jiang Chengzong, who had shaken off his previous dejection.

"Take stock of your family's fields and sell them quickly to raise money. The dowry can't be too meager."

Jiang Mantun disagreed: "The land at home is the foundation of our livelihood. If we sell it all, we'll really have no way out. I'll figure out the dowry. I can borrow it from your Uncle Wang."

Wu glared at her husband: "Miss Li is the daughter of the county magistrate. How can she be poor? You're just short-sighted. Once our son marries Miss Li, he'll have everything he could want. What are these few acres of land? Your life of luxury is just around the corner."

Jiang Chengzong also looked at his father with resentment, not understanding the principle that you can't catch a wolf if you don't want to lose your cub.

Jiang Mantun finally had no choice but to compromise: "Then let's sell it. The dowry really can't be stingy."

Wu responded and went out again to arrange the sale of the land.

Jiang Chengzong also went out. He was going to find Skinny Monkey, wondering why there had been no progress on the matter he had asked him to handle for so many days.

The sale of the land caused quite a stir. Wu didn't hide it at all; on the contrary, she publicized it extensively, claiming it was to raise money for the betrothal gifts.

Some villagers felt the dowry was too extravagant, but most were envious, thinking it meant she was going to live a good life in the city.

Wang Yiyi waited for three days in a row, but the Jiang family did not come to break off the engagement, and she gradually became uneasy.

Logically, the Jiang family should be the most anxious to deal with this matter, so why is there no movement at all?

She wanted to see Miss Li again, but this time she was turned away. She had no choice but to buy some beans and hurry home.

She could see a large crowd gathered in front of her house from afar, so she quickly pushed through the crowd to go inside.

Someone pulled her aside, looking on with a gossipy expression: "Did your older sister really get engaged to someone? When did it happen? Tell me, and your aunt will give you candy later."

Wang Yiyi slapped her hand away: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you like to get engaged to someone so much, why don't you encourage your own daughter to do it? If that doesn't work, you can go by yourself."

After uttering that curse, she went back inside.

She was somewhat afraid to think about where things had gone wrong. Jiang Chengzong had already helped him climb the social ladder, and he had even gotten the skinny monkey's earrings. How could this still happen?

If such gossip gets out, how will the eldest sister live?

Her mind went blank, and she stumbled into the yard.

Inside the courtyard, Skinny Monkey was sitting on a bench, legs crossed, muttering some incoherent nonsense.

Li held Daya in her arms, and both of them had tears in their eyes.

Wang Dashan stood by, praising her with extremely humble manner.

As soon as Wang Yi entered the courtyard, she saw this scene. She was so angry that her eyes turned red. Without thinking, she kicked over the bench where the skinny monkey was sitting.

The skinny monkey, oblivious to the fact that he was looking smug, suddenly tripped and fell flat on his face.

Enraged, he yelled, "Who? Who pushed me? I'll beat him to death!"

Wang Yiyi was furious: "I pushed you, so what? You toad trying to eat swan meat, you shameless bastard, I should break your legs."

She never expected that Skinny Monkey would be so bold, daring to come even in that state. She should have killed him back then.

Looking into Wang Yiyi's eyes, the skinny monkey inexplicably recalled what had happened a few days ago and subconsciously covered his lower body.

But remembering Jiang Chengzong's words, he mustered his courage: "How dare you talk like that, little girl? I'm your future brother-in-law, and if you keep spewing such filth, I won't let you get away with it."

He waved the earring in his hand again: "See this? This is a token of love from your sister. Open your dog eyes and see clearly, you little brat."

Wang Yiyi's pupils contracted.

The earring in the skinny monkey's hand did look very familiar; it was almost identical to the one the older sister had lost.

But she had clearly put the earring into her spatial dimension, so it couldn't possibly be lost. She glanced at it with her consciousness, and both earrings were lying there perfectly fine.

That skinny monkey has some really insidious methods.

Daya held up the earring in her hand and cried out, "You're talking nonsense! Both of my earrings are at home. You just picked up these earrings somewhere and said they were mine."

Skinny Monkey raised an eyebrow and looked at Daya with a lewd expression: "Good wife, why are you still hiding this? I've asked around the village, and these earrings are yours. Everyone in the village has seen you wearing them. Aren't the ones you're wearing the ones I gave you before?"
