After hearing the matchmaker's reason for coming, Sun Ruhua said awkwardly, "We still want to cancel this marriage."

When matchmaker Zhang heard this, she stood up immediately and said, "Mrs. Sun, what a great marriage! Are you angry because the date hasn't been announced yet? I think it's not the Jiang family's fault! They are a wealthy family, how can they have time to relax? And I told you that Young Master Jiang is both talented and handsome. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever!"

"But my family..."

"Also, the Jiang family has already offered the engagement a long time ago, and you accepted the betrothal gift last time. It's settled, and the date has been set now. If you suddenly regret it, I'm afraid the Jiang family will definitely not agree. At that time... You also understand that people like us from small families have no ability to fight against those wealthy families like them, right?" After a few words, which appealed to her emotions, reasoned with her, and silently intimidated and threatened her, Sun Ruhua couldn't even speak!

I could only look at Xie Jiaojiao.

When Xie Jiaojiao was about to speak, Matchmaker Zhang immediately pulled Xie Jiaojiao back with a smile, "This must be Miss Xie, right? You are so pretty. How come Young Master Jiang fell in love with her at first sight?"

Xie Jiaojiao:?

"Matchmaker, our family really wants to cancel this marriage. Please carry the betrothal gifts back for us today." Xie Jiaojiao said directly.

"And even if you don't come today, I will bring these betrothal gifts to the county town tomorrow to ask the Jiang family to cancel the engagement."

When Matchmaker Zhang heard this, she was in big trouble. The eldest young master of the Jiang family had already agreed to the marriage. If she broke the chain with him, the Jiang family would definitely not let her go. Who would ask her to be a matchmaker in the future?

He quickly grabbed Xie Jiaojiao's wrist and said, "Oh, my Miss Xie, what are you worried about? The young master of the Jiang family married you in a formal way and you are his legal wife. If you really break off the engagement, the Jiang family is so big and powerful, will they let you go?"

After sending the matchmaker away, Sun Ruhua sighed and Xie Jiaojiao felt a little annoyed listening to her.

"Jiaojiao..."

Xie Jiaojiao took a deep breath and tried to comfort Sun Ruhua: "Mom, don't worry, I can just get married."

"But you don't want to?"

"Don't worry about these things. I'll go find out another day whether the Jiang family is really as powerful as the matchmaker said. Okay, pack up the things the matchmaker brought. Someone from Manager Chen will be coming later."

Only then did Sun Ruhua move.

In fact, what Xie Jiaojiao was thinking in her heart was that Jiang Weinan was such a bastard!

Yesterday he asked her to go to the county town to cancel the engagement, but today he came to announce the good news. She felt more and more that this man was deliberately playing tricks on her!

When they meet in town some other day, she will definitely let him know how powerful she is and see if he still dares to marry her!

It was almost noon when someone from Manager Chen's side came.

As soon as this person arrived, Xie Jiaojiao quickly helped him load the things into the car.

In the end, the two parties settled the money.

Sun Ruhua was happy to see that a lot of money was sold.

Xie Jiaojiao went back to the house to pack up the silver, and said to Sun Ruhua with a smile: "Mom, next year, let's find a piece of land and build two houses of our own. What do you think?"

When Sun Ruhua heard this, she was very happy: "Okay! Of course!"

Although this house is tidy and I'm used to living in it, no matter how good it is, it is not my house!

Xie Zhiyi was also happy. Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and said, "Zhiyi, do you want to go to school? We have money at home now!"

Xie Jiaojiao had asked the same question before.

Xie Zhiyi shook his head: "I don't want to study. What's the point of studying?"

Xie Jiaojiao was somewhat helpless: "What are you going to do in the future?"

"Well... I want to buy some land, grow crops, and become a wealthy man in the future!"

His words made Xie Jiaojiao and Sun Ruhua laugh!

Xie Jiaojiao thought about the money at home and said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, why don't you go and ask around to see if anyone in the village wants to sell land? We don't have to buy first-class land, second-class land will do! We can use it all to grow sugarcane!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruhua nodded immediately and said in agreement: "All farmers are like this. If they have spare money, they all want to buy land. With more land, there will be more food, and we can feed more people! And the family property can be saved."

After lunch, Sun Ruhua went out to inquire. Many people in the village saw the matchmaker and others going to her house in the morning, and they all asked her if her family was going to have a wedding soon.

Thinking that her daughter was not happy about this marriage, Sun Ruhua was not happy in her heart, but she still smiled and waved her hand and said, "It's still too early!"

Xie Jiaojiao was at home. In the afternoon, she took Xie Zhiyi into the mountains to see how the sugarcane crops were growing.

Xie Zhiyi was greedy and wanted to catch some wild crabs to eat, but Xie Jiaojiao let him catch them himself.

Seeing so many crabs caught in the evening, Sun Ruhua didn't know what to do. Xie Jiaojiao simply did it herself and made a spicy crab. The smell was so delicious that Sun Ruhua and Xie Zhiyi were already drooling!

The whole family ate a large bowl of it, but they were still not satisfied. Xie Zhiyi drank water while eating because it was too spicy. Seeing how much they liked it, Xie Jiaojiao thought, maybe she could make some money from this. After all, she had to go to the town, so she couldn't go there in vain, right?

The next morning, Xie Jiaojiao asked Xie Zhiyi to call Tian Hu.

When Tian Hu came, he also carried a load of firewood for Xie Jiaojiao's family.

Xie Jiaojiao insisted on giving him money no matter what, which made Tian Hu feel embarrassed.

"Thank you, Auntie. I was just thinking about the coming winter. Your family must be in need. I didn't ask for money!"

"I know, but I can't take this thing for free, right?"

Finally, Xie Jiaojiao said a few more words, and Tian Hu finally accepted the copper coins.

"Xie Xiaogu, why did you ask me to come here today?"

Xie Jiaojiao said: "There is a field of sugarcane on the mountain. I would like to ask you to help harvest it. I will give you fifteen copper coins a day. Are you willing?" She raised the price by a few cents because the mountain road is difficult to walk on, and it would be very troublesome to get the sugarcane back!

When Tian Hu heard that there was money to be made, he was of course willing to do it. With the copper coins, he could buy a new set of clothes for his grandmother so that she wouldn't suffer from the cold in winter!

"Of course!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

That afternoon, he went up the mountain with Tian Hu to cut sugarcane.

When Tian Hu saw this piece of sugarcane, he was very surprised: "I have seen this before when I was cutting firewood, and I thought it was reeds!"

This wild sugarcane looks like reeds. Although she used this seed, the sugarcane she planted in her own fields grew much better than the wild sugarcane.

Xie Zhiyi also went up the mountain because Xie Jiaojiao gave him a task, which was to catch more mountain crabs in the next few days, which she would need in two days.

Xie Zhiyi was really willing to do that. Catching crabs is so much fun!

There is only one or two mu of wild sugarcane on the land.

The two of them worked for three days and finally got everything back.

Seeing that some of the crabs caught by Xie Zhiyi were in a bad mental state.

Xie Jiaojiao handed the task of pressing the sugarcane juice over to Tian Hu, and went to the town carrying the mountain crabs!
