117 Betting On You to Win
“Say, if general Zhao Ruifeng, who is known for jinxing his wife, bullies our village chief in the future, will he die a worse death? ” A villager asked curiously.
“I heard that General Zhao Ruifeng killed seven of his fiancées. His luck is comparable to our village chief’s!”The villagers were instantly excited.
“Hey, hey, hey, how about we start a bet? Let’s see if General Zhao Ruifeng will subdue our village chief, or if our village chief will subdue General Zhao Ruifeng.” The moment he said that, the villagers all ran away! They were in a hurry to place their bets!
Song Yun was excited. Just as she was about to catch up with the villagers, Jiang Xi said, “Song Yun, you also think that what they said is unrealistic, right? You guys, everyone knows that this bet is not reliable.”
“Boss, wait for me to get the money. I’ll bet on you winning!” Song Yun said without turning her head.
Jiang Xi, who had been used as a bet, was so angry that she snorted. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Yang Fen sitting on a chair with a dark face. When she saw Jiang Xi come in, she sneered. She looked at her with a very cold gaze.
“Tomorrow, we’ll go to the village to offer incense. From today on, you’ll be a vegetarian. After you get married on the 17th of August, you’ll still have to eat vegetarian food. ” Yang Fen said to Jiang Xi with a cold face and then went back to the room to collect the offerings.
Jiang Guoyou stood at the door and sighed deeply. “Jiang Xi, don’t take it to heart. Your mother has lost a very important person. Please be a little more understanding of her. She’ll be fine in a few days.” Jiang Guoyou patted Jiang Xi’s head and comforted her.
Jiang Xi lowered her eyes and remained silent.
“Don’t worry about going to Jing City. Your third brother will go with you. You don’t have to worry about your family. Just take care of yourself and come back whenever you miss home. Moreover, General Zhao Ruifeng…” Jiang Guoyou paused and swallowed the words that had yet to come out of his mouth. His Jiang Xi will be fine with Zhao Ruifeng, right? In fact, Jiang Xi and Zhao Ruifeng were quite a good match.
Jiang Xi hummed in agreement and said nothing. In the original owner’s memory, she did go to a lonely grave outside the village to pay her respects every year.
The next morning, the Jiang family packed up and left the village. Yang Fen’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying the whole night.
“Mother said that her benefactor was buried outside the village, but how come I don’t know of any benefactor?” Jiang Shan scratched his head. Nothing seemed to have happened at home at that time.
Jiang Da glared at Jiang Shan and did not allow him to continue, lest Yang Fen get angry.
“That’s true. Mother was pregnant with Jiang Xi at that time. She stayed at home every day with a big belly and didn’t meet anyone. But at that time, mother was still living in the old house. I heard that she fell in the winter and gave birth to Jiang Xi. She even called a doctor. Oh, I know, the benefactor is that doctor, right?” Jiang Shan patted his head, as if he had understood.
When Yang Fen gave birth to Jiang Xi, she and Jiang Guoyou were still living in the old house. On the day Yang Fen fell, Jiang Guoyou had no money on him. He had knelt on the ground and begged the doctor before the doctor agreed to come and save her.
Jiang Guoyou glanced at Yang Fen and sighed, “Jiang Xi’s life was given to her by that lonely grave.”
The Jiang family remained silent all the way. When they arrived outside the village, they pulled out the grass on the grave. Yang Fen placed several kinds of food before asking the others to come and burn paper money as a sacrifice. Jiang Xi knelt in front of the grave as usual.
Yang Fen knelt at the grave, burning joss paper while nagging at the grave, “Jiang Xi’s life was given to her by you, so she should come to pay her respects to you every year. Even if she goes to Jing City to get married in the future, she should also pray for you on this day every year. Without you, there wouldn’t be her.” Yang Fen wanted to continue, but Jiang Guoyou glared at her, so she did notcontinue.
After paying their respects, the Jiang family returned to the village. Jiang Xi and Song Yun sneaked to the foot of the mountain under the moonlight. They dug out the gift from their good friend and hid it in their pockets before going back. She lay on the bed while Song Yun was on the ground, packing her luggage for her.
Back then, Yang Fen had secretly taken a bangle from Jiang Xi and given it to her new daughter-in-law, Song Yun. Now, not only did Song Yun take out the bangle, but she had also given her dowry to Jiang Xi. Yang Fen was so angry that she started cursing outside the door. “Jiang Xi, can you want your sister-in-law to serve you? Aren’t you ashamed? Song Yun, is Jiang Xi’s arm or leg broken? Why do you have to serve her like this?”
Yang Fen was so angry that her heart ached. She watched as Song Yun’s two maidservants, Hong Shan and Lu Liu, massaged Jiang Xi’s shoulders and legs. She felt even worse.
