Born into a farm family, I became rich by pressuring my parents.

Chapter 67 Substitution
"This was her second pregnancy," Ms. Liu recalled: "Whenever the midwife came, I gave birth alone in the room."

"Does anyone else in the village know what month Jintao was born?" Li Hui asked next.

Mrs. Liu came back to her senses after hearing this, and vaguely guessed what Li Hui meant. She was surprised and said: "What, what, what are you going to do?"

Li Hui stepped forward and held Mrs. Liu's hand, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, since I am an eldest uncle, I am not so lucky."

“Then why don’t we let our children go?
Liu was speechless for a moment and stammered: "Then, what can we do? Jin Tao is not the person they are looking for."

"I see that sister Jintao is quiet, sensible and generous, so why can't I afford it?" Li Hui continued to persuade her.

She said firmly: "As long as we say it's March, it will be March."

"My uncle won't tell me, so who knows?"

"Yes," Jiang Yunhe also agreed: "Father, mother, and second brother, as long as our family doesn't tell us, even the people in the village won't know."

What she said was not unreasonable.

Girls in the village are like this, they have not been taken seriously since birth.

The baby was born as soon as he was born, and there was neither a shower nor a full moon ceremony, let alone a special birthday for a girl in the future.

Only when you get married and your daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law after many years can you hold birthday banquets on days like 50 or 60 years old.

"But," Mrs. Liu still hesitated: "This is for happiness."

"What if Jin Tao didn't rush over?"

Thinking of this, she quickly shook her head: "No, no, isn't this my daughter's life in vain?"

"How could it be?" Jiang Yunhe waved his hand nonchalantly: "How many years has this happened?"

"The Chen family is a wealthy family and they are very concerned about face. There is no way they would do such messy things."

"As long as our Jintao can marry her, no matter whether it is useful or not, she will be a real member of the Chen family."

"If I have another son in the future, my position as a young lady will not be secure."

"Even so," Mrs. Liu felt a little shaken, but still hesitated: "What if they are angry for a moment and insist on using Jintao to fill the pond?"

Ms. Yang, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. She said to Ms. Liu: "The worst thing is to take the person back, and we can just raise him by ourselves for the rest of our lives."

Compared to Jiang Jinyu, Yang naturally hopes that her granddaughter Jiang Jintao can marry into the Chen family.

As for how she would live after marrying into the family, in her opinion, no matter what kind of life she lived in the Chen family, it would be better than marrying into a farmer's family.

What's wrong with eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, being served by slaves when entering and exiting, and being patient in other unsatisfactory places?
What's more, Mrs. Yang thought that if she could get this opportunity, Jin Tao's life would be even better when the male in the family becomes a scholar in the future.

Ms. Liu didn't know what to do at all. The two thoughts of living a good life as a young lady and being dragged to fill a pond kept tugging at her mind, making her open and close her mouth, but she still couldn't say a single word. Words come.

She looked at Jiang Minghui for help.

Jiang Minghui was stunned by this change. Somehow, it changed from his eldest brother's family's affairs to his own.

He was not a very independent person, and now he could only look at Jiang Yongsheng, hoping that his father could help him make a decision.

"I don't care about this," Jiang Yongsheng waved his hands when he saw his son looking at him, "You parents make your own decisions."

"However," after thinking about it, he still expressed his position in a vague way: "If that day comes, our family will not be able to support her."

Everyone went back to their rooms.

Mrs. Liu absentmindedly finished washing and lay on the bed, and asked in a low voice: "Dad, what do you think?"

Jiang Minghui frowned: "I didn't know."

"I think what Eldest Sister and Sister Hui said is reasonable."

Mrs. Liu sat up, stretched herself out and asked, "So you mean you agree?"

Jiang Minghui scratched his head with both hands: "I didn't say I agreed."

"It's not a good thing to be happy. What do I agree with?" He asked back: "Didn't you say before that you hoped it would be your own child?"

"Why don't you agree now?"

"I, I," Mrs. Liu hesitated: "I was just talking."

"Who knew they would take it seriously."

The couple looked at each other speechlessly for a long time, still unable to make that decision.

"Mom and Dad," a small voice called the door suddenly came from outside the house: "Can I come in?"

Ms. Liu put on her coat and went to open the door. Outside was a neatly dressed Jiang Jintao.

Jiang Minghui also got off the kang and lit the oil lamp again.

Mrs. Liu pulled her daughter to sit down and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Jiang Jintao sat awkwardly on the edge of the kang, putting his hands on his legs and twisting them together.

"I, I," she tried several times, but still couldn't say it out. She lowered her head and wanted to leave: "It's okay, I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute," Ms. Liu grabbed Jiang Jintao's arm and said softly, "Are you doing it because of what your aunt said?"

"Yes." Jiang Jintao lowered his eyes and turned his face slightly to prevent the light of the oil lamp from shining on his face.

"Brother just told me."

"Why is he telling you this?" Ms. Liu said angrily, "Your elder brother advised you to marry into the Chen family?"

"No, no," Jiang Jintao quickly waved his hand and explained: "Brother just told me to let me make my own decision."

Ms. Liu took a breath and deliberately did not think about why her son wanted to tell her daughter about this at this time.

"What about you," she asked hesitantly, "how do you think about it?"

Confusion flashed across Jiang Jintao's face, as if she didn't know what to do.

She recalled in her mind what her elder brother had told her about the dresses of the ladies he had seen in the city.

Then she remembered what her mother told her about "the good days of a city daughter-in-law."

Jiang Jintao's eyes gradually became firm, and she raised her head to look at Mrs. Liu: "Mom, I want to go."

“I want to live a life where I don’t have to work in the fields or spin or weave.”

Mrs. Liu held her hand impatiently, trying to persuade her: "But what if they want to use you to fill the pond?"

Jiang Jintao turned to look at her father: "Dad, will you and grandpa go to Chen's house to ask me to come out?"

Jiang Minghui nodded: "You are my daughter, so of course I will not ignore you."

"Look," Jiang Jintao persuaded Mrs. Liu in turn: "If it doesn't work out, I can still come back."

"But..." Mrs. Liu was at a loss for words. She wanted to say, can a daughter-in-law abandoned by her husband's family be the same as a daughter-in-law who is waiting to be married?

Even if you come back, will everything really be fine?

But facing Jiang Jintao who looked yearning, she really couldn't say anything.

Jiang Jintao said in a relaxed tone: "What's more, maybe I can make it happen?"

This was all they could do to comfort themselves. Liu and Jiang Minghui spent the night worried.

When they got up the next day, everyone in the Jiang family looked unhappy.

Except for the two young children, everyone else had two huge bags under their eyes, and their complexions were a little dull and blue, and they looked like they had not slept well.
