Chapter 111 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury
Chapter 111 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury
With the war raging, Jiang Dashu and other new recruits went to the battlefield after only one month of training.
Jiang Dashu has excellent physical health because he drank the spiritual spring water.
Stand out in the training camp.
Once on the battlefield, he fought at the forefront.
Every night when he rests, Jiang Dashu would take out the sachet and look at it, thinking of his wife and children at home.
Jiang Dashu felt that his wife and children were protecting him, as he had always fought on the front lines without ever getting hurt.
On one occasion, when the enemy's swords came down, he thought he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
As a result, he was completely unharmed.
Fortunately, the blow struck the armor and was blocked.
Jiang Dashu touched his clothes, which were completely undamaged, and felt a surge of joy at surviving a disaster.
From then on, Jiang Dashu no longer dared to act recklessly.
At the very least, you can't just charge straight into the opposing team; you have to cooperate with the people around you.
However, the enemy forces were all well-trained troops, while they were just newly recruited soldiers.
As expected, they were constantly fighting and retreating.
Finally, the general was beheaded, and they all became prisoners.
The enemy army reached the capital.
The victor is king, the loser is villain; dynasties change, and a new emperor ascends the throne.
It was learned that many of the prisoners were temporarily conscripted and were previously ordinary farmers. To win the hearts of the people, the new emperor released the prisoners, allowing them to return home and reunite with their families.
The previous emperor forcefully dragged the people to the battlefield to die, while the new emperor sent them back to reunite with their families. It goes without saying what the people should do.
The common people just wanted to live their lives peacefully and didn't care whether it was a change of dynasty or a change of emperor.
They only cared about whether they could have enough to eat and whether a good emperor could provide them with a peaceful life.
Jiang Dashu and Jiang Ertian are both back.
Jiang Dashu had no wounds on his body; on the contrary, he looked even more robust and stronger.
Jiang Ertian is very clever, and now he has returned safely.
Jiang Lian has been in a bad mood these past few days.
Because Grandma Jiang started looking for a marriage partner for her.
Grandma Jiang was worried that she would be wronged, so she was only thinking about small mountain villages or nearby villages.
In Jiang Lian's eyes, these were all peasants. She was living a very comfortable life now, so why should she become a peasant's wife and cook and do laundry for him?
Grandma Jiang, who doted on her, indulged her in everything else and always considered her needs.
On this matter, we will not yield an inch.
At first, she said she didn't want to get married, and Grandma Jiang would just say she was a silly girl.
When she said she didn't want to get married again, Grandma Jiang's expression changed.
Although I won't hit or scold her, I will use passive-aggressive tactics.
I think she's being too immature; what girl doesn't get married?
Now is the best time of your life. If you don't settle down now, you'll become an old maid and no one will want you, and you'll lose your reputation.
Jiang Lian was unwilling. If she really married him, she would be trapped in such a small mountain village for the rest of her life.
A voice kept telling her, "No, no, you have to go out. You should go to that bustling place where a hero on a white horse will come to pick you up."
She will live a life that everyone envies, instead of being trapped in a place like this.
But she was a village girl; the farthest she had ever been was to town.
It takes an hour to walk to the town.
Jiang Lian went there once with Grandma Jiang, and then refused to go again.
In the end, Jiang Lian was still engaged.
The man lived in town. He had a deceased wife and no children, so Jiang Lian wouldn't be a stepmother if she married him.
Moreover, that person owns a house in town and his family is quite well-off.
Compared to other peasants, Jiang Lian chose this path because at least she lived in town and didn't have to work in the fields.
Moreover, the man was willing to offer fifty taels of betrothal money.
If they're willing to spend so much on a bride price, their family must be quite well-off.
Jiang Lian knew she couldn't escape it, so she finally chose to compromise and agreed to Grandma Jiang's request.
Moreover, she hasn't had the idea that she's definitely going to leave this place lately.
She's just a country girl, with no special abilities. Where can she go, and what can she do?
She could only accept the arrangements made for her by Grandma Jiang.
At least she knew that Grandma Jiang was genuinely looking out for her, and that she had chosen the best families that Grandpa Jiang could get his hands on.
The family in that town had also remarried because their first wife had passed away from illness, so they settled for a girl from the village.
Upon learning that Jiang Lian was engaged, Jiang He went to find Jiang Lian.
"Auntie, do you want to go up the mountain? The wild grapes we saw last time might be ripe by now."
"Go! Go! Go."
Jiang Lian followed Jiang He up the mountain.
Jiang He led Jiang Lian to the wild grapes.
"Auntie, they look ripe. Let's pick some to take home."
Jiang Lian couldn't wait to pick one and taste it first.
Jiang He stood behind without moving, her eyes fixed on Jiang Lian's feet.
"Ouch."
Jiang Lian accidentally stepped into a shallow pit.
It was covered by grass, so you couldn't see it, and Jiang Lian stepped right into it.
Fortunately, the pit wasn't deep, and Jiang Lian only twisted her ankle; it wasn't dislocated or sprained.
Jiang Lian stood up, picked a grape from the top of her head, took a bite, and said the grape was ripe and delicious.
"Xiao He, these grapes are ripe and ready to eat. Let's pick them quickly."
"Okay, Auntie."
Jiang He was in a good mood.
She had brought Jiang Lian here countless times.
Previously, Jiang Lian had always managed to avoid that pitfall perfectly.
But now, Jiang Lian has fallen into a trap.
We've really fallen into a trap.
She knew the person Jiang Lian was engaged to.
That man is no good.
The man couldn't have children himself, and due to physiological reasons, he also had psychological problems.
His first wife was tortured to death by him.
The people in town all know a little about the situation, but they won't tell Grandma Jiang.
Jiang He knew, but why did she tell them?
She has no obligation to do so.
In the original storyline, Jiang Lian showed no sadness whatsoever over Jiang He's death and even personally pushed the body off the cliff.
Jiang Lian never cared about the lives of the Jiang family members.
She remained unmoved even as everyone else was killed, her heart and soul set on her true love.
She was simply treating her the same way Jiang Lian treated the original owner of this body.
I'll just observe from the sidelines.
Jiang Lian got married, and the groom carried a bright red sedan chair to pick her up.
This is a privilege only available to those who marry into the town.
If it's in a village, people who live nearby can walk, while those who live farther away can pull a cart.
Jiang Lian sat in the bridal sedan chair, feeling very happy. She felt valued, and the man seemed quite nice.
Old Man Jiang and Old Woman Jiang were also all smiles. Jiang Lian was lucky to have married into a good family.
Three days later, when Jiang Lian returned home after her wedding, she was beaming with joy.
It's clear that Jiang Lian is doing well, which puts Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang at ease.
However, after Jiang Lian returned home, she encountered a nightmare.
