102 Things Are Getting Even More Unbelieable
“There are many high officials and noble people in the capital, and they like to have children. For example, the concubines in the palace like to have children even more. Having one child will allow them to live a life without worry. They are not like the villages, where they are afraid of not being able to raise many children.” Zhao Yingying sighed. If she could, she would rather be born into an ordinary family and live a peaceful life with her parents and brother.
Hearing Jiang Xi and Zhao Yingying, the two unmarried girls, talking about having children, Wu Tielong’s eyes twitched. He quickly changed the topic, “Jiang Ci, do you think the children in this village were waiting for you to return? If not, why was nobody giving birth when you weren’t around? Why did they start giving birth one after another the moment you came back?” As he was speaking, Wu Tielong suddenly could not continue. He could not have discovered the truth by accident, right?
As there were many pregnant women in the village, Jiang Xi had already fetched the midwives from the surrounding villages in advance. At this time, six or seven midwives were sweating profusely. Strangely, wherever Jiang Xi went, there seemed to be a burst of exclamations of the birth and the cries of the newborn.
As long as the pregnant woman had not given birth yet, they would give birth as soon as Jiang Xi walked to their door. They did not miss a single minute or second. Wu Tielong and the other bandits followed Jiang Xi and did not dare to say a word. They felt that things were getting more and more like a fantasy. Even Zhao Yingying’s mouth was wide open and could not close for a long time. At this time, she thought of the Zhao family’s cat and dog getting pregnant. Also, some time ago, the Zhao family in Jing City sent a letter at top speed, saying that the Zhao family’s Old Master’s wives, her father’s more than ten wives, and her stepmother were all pregnant and giving birth! In just one year, she had 16 sisters! Moreover, her father was already so old, but he still had a little sister who was still in swaddling clothes! It was said that her father had the title of ‘Jing City’s Father-In-Law’. Who asked the Zhao family to be filled with daughters? He had more than 20 daughters! Even the emperor did not have as many children as him!
When Jiang Xi arrived home, there were 16 cries in the village, and there were many pregnant women. It seemed that the situation would continue for a while.
After sending off Wu Tielong and the others, Jiang Ci entered the door with Zhao Yingying and the neighboring country’s little prince, Yuan Qilin. They saw a woman with exaggerated makeup and a big red flower on her head sitting in the living room of the Jiang family. She was eating eggs with sugar water, and there were four eggs in them! The last matchmaker who received this treatment was the one who proposed marriage to Jiang Er. At that time, they had given the matchmaker two eggs in sugar water.
“Oh, so this is Jiang SI’s only sister? I’ve heard Jiang Si mention his sister a lot back in Jiang Prefecture. I’m sure you two have a very good relationship.” The matchmaker looked at Jiang Xi and became more and more satisfied.
Yang Fen’s face turned pale when she saw Jiang Xi. “Our Jiang Si dotes on his sister so much. I’m not afraid that the Song family will laugh at us for saying this. This child has been close to Jiang Si since she was young.
Yang Fen’s words made the matchmaker’s eyes light up.
Zhao Yingying’s eyes flickered. Was Jiang Si going to propose marriage? Jiang Prefecture? the Song family? Thinking of this, Zhao Yingying suddenly stared at the matchmaker with wide eyes. Then, she swallowed her saliva silently and walked away.
Jiang Si’s successful provincial examination caused a huge reaction in Happy Village. The moment the news spread, Yang Fen’s tears fell. Someone came in with something to congratulate her. She cried and complained to the people with snot and tears in her eyes, saying how hard she had raised Jiang si to make him so successful. She also said that her children were all good for nothing and that Jiang Si was the only one who worked hard, so she did not waste her efforts in raising him.
Yang Fen’s words made Jiang Da, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Shan’s faces darken. Which family member did not contribute to Jiang Si’s success today? They had to tighten their belts to support Jiang Si alone. furthermore, their father, Jiang Guoyou, had broken his leg last year and could not support the family. Before Jiang Guoyou’s accident, Jiang Guoyou was the one who had been supporting Jiang Si. Even Jiang Xi, the youngest sister, had given Jiang Si the money she got as compensation for her canceled engagements.
Everyone in the village knew about the Jiang family’s situation. On the surface, they laughed and said that Yang Fen had worked hard, but behind their backs, they despised her very much. Jiang Si’s grades were good and he passed the examination, the only one in several villages.
“Oh, Yang Fen, you’ve finally made it. Jiang Xi is married to General Zhao Ruifeng, so she’ll be the general’s wife in the future. Your youngest son, Jiang Si, has also passed the examination. Maybe he’ll be the top scorer next time. You’ll be blessed in the future!”
