Right then, someone thought of something, \u201cSpeaking of which, a few days before the third Jiang son&#8217;s marriage, Eldest Jiang fell in the water. At that time, it was Zhao Jinge who went down the river to save him. It was really kind of him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIs that why Jiang Zhen is with him? In other words, Jiang Zhen is grateful . . .\u201d That was how human nature was. They didn\u2019t recall this before. After all, Eldest Jiang didn\u2019t die at that time, so they didn\u2019t think about the life saved . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cKnowing how to repay gratitude? Jiang Zhen is in great trouble! He offended that Liu Heitou, and in the future, no one knows if the people of Hexi would not be targeted by that Liu Heitou!\u201d The second Jiang uncle knocked on the ground with his crutches. He looked very sad and worried.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When some timid people heard what the second Jiang uncle said, they were worried too and resented Jiang Zhen. However, some young people could not help murmuring, \u201cI think Jiang Zhen is very good . . .\u201d What Jiang Zhen did this day made them feel really happy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen didn\u2019t know that some people in the village had changed their attitude towards him. He was now talking with the Zhaos about everything he brought from Fucheng.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When they heard these things were for the family, both Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui were shocked. They didn\u2019t expect that Jiang Zhen would give them something after the ten silver last time, but he brought so many things back this time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJiang Zhen, our family doesn\u2019t even have any land now, so it\u2019s better to save money. There\u2019s no need to rush to buy these things . . . \u201d Zhao Fugui said because he was a bit worried that Jiang Zhen had spent all of the forty silver that the Jiang family had given him. In that case, how would his family live in the future? It was just that Jiang Zhen was not his child. He couldn\u2019t say too much.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDad, I didn\u2019t spend money. I gained unexpected wealth this time, so I bought some things,\u201d Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Fugui didn\u2019t ask what the unexpected wealth was, but nodded. \u201cSo it turns out it was like this. It\u2019s good that you know . . . By the way, the ten silver you gave me, and the money I have saved over the years, I put it all together, so we can buy an acre of paddy field. I have already asked someone to help me look for it. Would you like to go and have a look?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Fugui was planning to buy it under Jiang Zhen\u2019s name, and his money was regarded as a betrothal gift . . . Their Zhao family couldn\u2019t take advantage of Jiang Zhen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s good to buy land, Dad. Let\u2019s buy more.\u201d Jiang Zhen smiled and put hundred silver on the table. \u201cFirst, buy 5 mu of paddy field, and if there is more, buy some dryland.\u201d With Zhao Fugui and his wife, together with him and Zhao Jinge, the output from 5 mu of paddy field would be almost enough to feed them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a matter of fact, Jiang Zhen still had two hundred silver on him, so it was okay to buy more land. But at this stage, he still hoped to keep more cash on his hands.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen said it lightly, but the Zhao family was shocked, and Zhao Liu jumped up in surprise. \u201cJiang Zhen, where did you get so much silver?\u201d Could it be that the money wrapped in cloth was one hundred silver? Where did Jiang Zhen get it?<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s what I call unexpected wealth. When I was doing business outside, I saved a man from some water bandits. He gave me two hundred silver to thank me,\u201d Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis . . . This . . .\u201d Two hundred? Even when the Zhao family was in good condition, all their possessions did not add up to two hundred silver!<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Zhao family couldn\u2019t respond anymore. When they were eating, everyone felt a bit dizzy, and Zhao Liu almost fed rice to her nose. Zhao Fugui also forgot to ask about He Qiusheng and Liu Heitou. However, even this being the case, they still sent Jiang Zhen out of the door and didn\u2019t let him stay the night.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen: \u201c. . .\u201d He wanted to talk to Zhao Jinge too. Fortunately, in another six days, he and Zhao Jinge would get married.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge also wanted to talk to Jiang Zhen. Before, when Jiang Zhen ignored He Qiusheng, he thought that Jiang Zhen didn\u2019t have money to help He Qiusheng pay his debts, that&#8217;s why Jiang Zhen ignored him. It turned out . . . Jiang Zhen was actually rich! He had misunderstood Jiang Zhen again . . . Zhao Jinge\u2019s heart had a sense of restlessness and sweetness.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That night, Zhao Liu went to sleep on the bamboo couch in Zhao Jinge\u2019s house once again. Zhao Fugui and Zhao Liu had made a new bed for Zhao Jinge and Jiang Zhen, but they couldn\u2019t sleep together until they got married. Zhao Jinge was still lying on the simple wooden bed and listened to what Zhao Liu told him to do after they got married.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Liu usually talked about what should be said, but this time, she didn\u2019t say much. After a while, she seemed to have fallen asleep.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge was lying in his bed quietly for a long time. After confirming that his mother should have already fallen asleep, he finally got up from his bed and went out quietly. He really wanted to see Jiang Zhen, even if he was already asleep.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge\u2019s steps were very light, but Zhao Liu wasn\u2019t asleep at all. When she heard the noise, she opened her eyes in the dark. Looking at her son\u2019s back, she hated that iron couldn\u2019t turn into steel. But after thinking about it for a moment, she just picked up her quilt and went to Zhao Fugui.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Jiang Zhen shocked their family even more than he did before. It was not only Zhao Jinge and Zhao Liu who couldn\u2019t fall asleep, but Zhao Fugui too. He kept thinking about how well their family would live in the future, and then he heard the sound of a door opening. His son must have run out. Zhao Fugui couldn\u2019t feel depressed anymore. After all, this time, it was his son who ran out on his own initiative, and he couldn\u2019t blame Jiang Zhen for this.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, Jiang Zhen was sleeping very well that night, but he was still very alert. So when Zhao Jinge knocked on his window, he immediately got up from the bed and opened it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJinge, I have so much to tell you,\u201d Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMe too . . . \u201d Zhao Jinge said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen had already taken out all the things he planned to give the Zhao family, but the hairpin that he intended to give Zhao Jinge was still on his hands. As soon as he lit a big candle, Jiang Zhen immediately took out the hairpin. \u201cI bought you a hairpin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge was surprised to see this. In the past, Jiang Zhen sent a lot of food and some practical things, but he never gave him jewelry. This hairpin was so beautiful that he didn\u2019t even dare to reach for it . . .<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Zhao Jinge didn\u2019t move, Jiang Zhen directly grabbed a lock of his hair and put the hairpin on. Jiang Zhen\u2019s hair was tied with cloth, which was relatively easy to tie, but this hairpin . . . Jiang Zhen tried several times and fixed the hairpin on top of Zhao Jinge\u2019s head with difficulty.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge\u2019s hair was pulled a little, which was a bit painful, but Zhao Jinge was still very happy and couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cYou . . . why are you so nice to me?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cBecause I like you,\u201d Jiang Zhen said.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zhao Jinge paused and finally said with certainty, \u201cI like you too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiang Zhen suddenly didn\u2019t want to let Zhao Jinge go back. It was just . . . it was better to wait until their wedding night . . . Jiang Zhen took a deep breath and endured again. However, this bargain still had to be taken advantage of.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJinge, shall we go to bed and have a rest?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>Edited by : Faro<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Proofreader: Taalia<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Support translation:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=25191841\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"217\" height=\"51\" class=\"wp-image-338 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/become_a_patron_button.png?resize=217%2C51\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 217px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 217\/51;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/lajnaa\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ontimestory.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/kofi3-3.png?resize=185%2C47\" alt=\"This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is kofi3-3.png\" width=\"185\" height=\"47\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 185px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 185\/47;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\r\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The people of Hexi couldn\u2019t understand Jiang Zhen\u2019s mind, and they got a bit confused about whether Zhao Jinge was really unlucky or lucky.
