I'm reborn, so it's not too much to kill the one who traveled through the book, right?

Shen Wu looked at Changsheng, who was squatting in a daze beside Yier and a few other children, shook his head and sighed heavily.

Shen Rong felt helpless as she looked at Changsheng, who looked out of place among a group of children.

Fortunately, Changsheng didn't make any jokes until the engagement was completed.

The Shen family was busy for a day, and Sanniang's marriage was finally settled.

Yao was afraid that something might go wrong with the marriage, so she set the wedding date very soon, just eight days later.

After the guests left, the Shen family members also went to rest in their rooms.

Shen Wu felt uncomfortable when he thought that Sanniang was about to marry a fool.

"The two mu of medicinal field given by Uncle Shen Liu is too remote and inconvenient to take care of, so we won't give it to Sanniang. We will give her another seven mu of land as a dowry, and choose a closer location so that it will be convenient for her to take care of it in the future."

Lu lay beside her man and thought for a while, "The land in the back mountain is good, it's seven or eight acres, and it's also suitable for growing medicinal herbs."

Shen Wu pondered and said, "That piece of land is quite suitable."

Except for some rare food items that Yao brought as betrothal gifts, Lu planned to give the rest to Shen Rong to take to her husband's family.

"Also, take the betrothal money that Sixth Aunt brought to Third Mother, and we will add another fifty taels of silver."

"Is there something missing?" Lu was stunned.

Lu knew best how much wealth the family had. In the past, fifty taels of silver as a dowry was already a lot, but now Sixth Aunt took one hundred taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

If they add fifty taels now, it will be a little insufficient.

"That's all. As for Changsheng, Sanniang doesn't know what the future holds for her. We should leave her some escape route."

What her husband said made sense, so Mrs. Lu didn't say anything else.

The third wife of the Shen family is engaged to Changsheng.

The news soon spread throughout Taohua Village.

Some watched the joke, some felt sorry for Shen Rong, the villagers' reactions were different.

Shen Yuan was shocked when he learned that Shen Rong was about to marry that fool.

Gu Zhaoming on the side had a gloomy and unclear expression on his face.

Shen Yuan noticed Gu Zhaoming's expression and his face suddenly turned dark.

During the first few days after their marriage, Gu Zhaoming treated Shen Yuan quite well, but her mother-in-law, Liu, often found fault with her.

This kind of nitpicking became more and more excessive as Shen Yuan returned empty-handed from the mountain several times.

Shen Yuan was extremely miserable. Before, at her mother's home, although Zhang favored boys over girls and would beat and scold her at any time, she still treated her as a daughter.

It is rarely her turn to do the heavy and tiring work at home. Usually, she just helps with washing clothes and cleaning the house.

She could still be lazy from time to time, and when Zhang found out, she would just scold her a few words, or if she was angry, she would just hit her a couple of times, and that would be it.

It’s not like now, when she becomes someone’s daughter-in-law, all the things inside and outside the house are waiting for her.

The first two days were fine. Liu was looking forward to Shen Yuan finding ginseng and was nice to her. But as time went by, there was no sign of ginseng for several days and Liu changed her attitude.

Not only Liu, Shen Yuan also felt that Gu Zhaoming's attitude had changed.

Although he didn't say anything, every night in bed, he became less and less considerate of her feelings, and no longer showed her the tenderness and care he had on their wedding night.

That day, the two men came down from Daqing Mountain, feeling tired and hungry. Liu didn't know which family she had visited, and the stove was empty at home.

I didn't expect to hear the news before I even entered the door. Gu Zhaoming looked like he couldn't forget the old love. One can imagine how Shen Yuan felt.

She was so angry that she picked up her basket and went to the vegetable garden behind the house.

The Gu family only had a vegetable garden of a few acres. Liu usually couldn't bear to eat the vegetables and kept them to sell.

She had just arrived at the Gu family and didn't know the real situation, so it wasn't too much for her to pick some vegetables!

Shen Yuan picked some beans, eggplants and leeks from the vegetable garden, and found two eggs in the chicken coop.

Stir-fried green beans, fried eggplant, scrambled eggs with leeks, and a pot of brown rice.

The rice was prepared by Liu for the wedding banquet. Shen Yuan cooked all the remaining pound of rice.

Unfortunately, there was no meat, and Shen Yuan was still a little dissatisfied.

In the Shen family, the elders controlled everything at home. When Shen Yuan wanted to cook something, it was not her turn to make the decision.

Now that I have a family, I can finally be the master of my own life.

When Liu came back from chatting outside and saw the table full of food, her eyes immediately turned red with anger.

"You...you spendthrift woman! Who allowed you to pick vegetables from my garden?" Liu spoke in a loud voice and shouted at Gu Zhaoming who was studying in the house.

When Shen Yuan saw Gu Zhaoming, she showed an aggrieved expression on her face, "Mother-in-law, I saw that my husband worked hard in the mountains during the day and had to study at night. I was worried that he would suffer from poor health, so I thought of making some nutritious food for him..."

Gu Zhaoming's expression softened when he saw Shen Yuan, "Mom, Yuan Yuan has already done it, let's eat first!"

It’s true, the dishes made by Shen Yuan look much more appetizing than the sauerkraut that his mother used to make.

Mrs. Liu immediately sensed her son's change in attitude. She said with a sad face, "Son, it's not that I don't love you. I just want to sell these vegetables to make some money so that I can support your studies, right?"

Shen Yuan said softly, "Mother, husband, I am ignorant. If I had known, I would not have picked those vegetables. I just feel sorry for my husband's health. He studies so hard every day and eats... Although passing the imperial examination is important, in my heart, my husband's health is the most important. Only with a healthy body can everything be possible. Mother, please don't blame me for being short-sighted."

Shen Yuan implied in a sarcastic tone that Liu was only concerned about fame, wealth and power, and never considered her son's health.

Liu's nose was crooked with anger.

Gu Zhaoming just thought that his mother was doing this for his own good, but after hearing what Shen Yuan said, he suddenly felt uncomfortable with Liu's behavior.

Although his mother always put him first in everything, all she talked about was fame and honor, and she didn't care at all whether she was tired or had enough food.

Mrs. Liu saw her son's intention, she glared at Shen Yuan fiercely and said:

"Only those who endure the most hardships can become the best. Zhaoming, don't let temporary enjoyment wear down your mind."

"Mom, I'll listen to you. Let's eat first!" Gu Zhaoming put an end to the dispute.

Although he said this, his tone was still a little cold.

Liu was indeed the one who knew her son best. She could tell from just one sentence that her son was dissatisfied with her.

She thought about the commotion in the next room during this period, and the words "pillow talk" came to her mind.

No, I can't let Shen Yuan go on like this. Otherwise, once her son is bewitched by that vixen, even if he passes the imperial examination in the future, what's the point if he's alienated from her?

Liu listened to the noise coming from next door and tossed and turned all night. Finally, she thought of a way and was able to fall asleep.
