When Liu saw the people watching the fun nearby, she immediately gave up her plan to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson at the village entrance.

The three of them returned home and closed the yard. Liu sat on a chair with a dark face, staring at Shen Yuan as if she wanted to eat her.

"Tell me! What happened?" Liu still couldn't believe that her son would do such a shameless thing, but thinking about the noise in the house in the past...

Gu Zhaoming and Shen Yuan looked at each other. Just as Gu Zhaoming was about to say something, Shen Yuan spoke first, "Mom, this is not what it seems outside. My husband and I didn't do anything foolish outside. It's..."

Liu immediately turned her gaze to her son and interrupted Shen Yuan's next words, "Really?"

Gu Zhaoming nodded, "Mom, I've been reading books of sages since I was young, and I would never do something so disgraceful!"

Hearing her son's solemn words, Mrs. Liu's face revealed an indescribable look.

If it were before, she could still pat her chest and say that her son was not interested in women and was only interested in reading books of sages. But since he got married, seeing the noise made in the house, she felt that it was possible that her son was fooling around with his wife outside.

Although she looked like she didn't believe in arguing with others today, she was actually a little unsure in her heart.

After figuring it out, Liu turned her gaze towards Shen Garden.

"Ms. Shen, Zhaoming will be leaving in February. In order not to affect his studies, you will move to my room and sleep from today!"

Shen Yuan was somewhat reluctant to live in the same room with Liu, "Mom, I..."

"What do you mean by 'you'? Zhaoming's reputation is ruined because of you. Don't you want Zhaoming to take the imperial examination?"

When Shen Yuan thought of the few dozen coins he had left in his hand, his heart suddenly tightened.

She has no money!

Not to mention the cost of paying for Gu Zhaoming's exam.

Thinking that Gu Zhaoming had only a little over a month before the exam, she didn't dare say anything more.

Gu Zhaoming originally had no idea how much money Shen Yuan had, but after staying in Qingliu Town, he more or less guessed that Shen Yuan didn't have much money left.

He thought about the college entrance examination which would be held in more than a month, and coupled with the impression he had left on the county magistrate, he began to feel inexplicably irritated. At this moment, he also did not want to see Shen Yuan.

If she hadn't said there was an arsonist at night, if she hadn't said she would put out the fire, his reputation wouldn't have become bad, and he wouldn't have left such an impression on the county magistrate.

Therefore, Gu Zhaoming did not say anything for Shen Yuan, but was completely lost in his own thoughts.

"Okay, it's settled!" Seeing that her son had no objection, Liu immediately made the decision.

In the afternoon, after dinner, when it was getting dark, Liu urged Shen Yuan to move his things and sleep in her room.

Shen Yuan was very reluctant to sleep with Liu, but she was now preoccupied with the money for Gu Zhaoming's exam. Feeling guilty, she did not have the confidence to refuse.

In this way, Gu Zhaoming and Shen Yuan slept in separate beds for the first time.

At night, Shen Yuan lay in bed, his mind full of thoughts on how to make money quickly, but unfortunately he had no idea after thinking for a long time.

Gu Zhaoming was lying on the bed alone, unable to fall asleep for a while.

After the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the lunar month, Shen Rong's dowry land will also be turned over and planted with medicinal herbs.

Changsheng has a strong obsession with farming.

Every day he would go out with his hoe before dawn, and when he came back, there was no light outside.

As for the temple opposite, it has been completed for the most part, and the rest are some delicate work. People like Changsheng who can only do manual labor will naturally not be hired.

Sixth Grandpa was familiar with the habits of herbs and took Changsheng with him to turn the soil.

During this period, Shen Rong was also busy, cooking and delivering meals at noon.

When she had free time, she would take a small medicine hoe and run around the mountain to expand the herbs in the space.

Of course, she didn't pick much of each, only moving one or two into the space.

Within a few days, all the herbs in her space were planted, and a large area of ​​them matured in just a few days.

Shen Rong would not just sit there and do nothing.

After she dug up the herbs, she waited until Changsheng fell asleep at night, and then she used the method of preparing herbs she learned from her Sixth Grandfather to enter the space and slowly prepare the herbs.

Then every day when she was drying the medicine, she would secretly mix it with the medicinal materials she had prepared, without anyone noticing, and for a while, no one discovered it.

Although Shen Rong was busy, she always kept an eye on Shen Garden.

During this period, Shen Yuan saw that the time for the college entrance examination was getting closer, but she still had not found a way to make money, so she had to choose a time when the weather was good to confess to Gu Zhaoming.

"Husband, how much money do you need to prepare to go to the county to take the exam?" Shen Yuan asked tentatively.

"At least ten taels of silver." Gu Zhaoming raised his head from the book and glanced at Shen Yuan.

That one glance saw through Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan clicked his fingers, his face a little nervous, "Husband, I want to tell you something, that is, I don't have that much silver in my hand. You know, I spent a few taels of silver in Qingliu Town last time..."

Gu Zhaoming's mouth sank. "I have saved three taels of silver here, but this amount is definitely not enough. Madam, how much can you give me?"

Shen Yuan met Gu Zhaoming's dark eyes. Somehow, she was speechless. She paused and said with gritted teeth: "How about this, I'll go back to my parents' home tomorrow to ask."

If Liu knew that she had not left any money for the exam, she would definitely scold her.

Gu Zhaoming nodded, "Yeah."

The next day, Shen Yuan returned to her parents' home. She went back empty-handed, and was then driven out by Zhang with empty-handed.

"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water! Don't come to me if you have any problems in the future!" Zhang pushed Shen Yuan out of the house and raised her voice loudly.

During the period before the Chinese New Year, the smell of chicken soup wafted outside the Gu family's yard every day, but her daughter never thought of her once.

At that time, someone came up to her and asked: Your daughter eats chicken every day. Is she filial to you?

She was so angry when she thought about posting it here.

Early in the morning, Shen Yuan not only returned to her parents' home empty-handed, but also came to ask her to borrow money.

Zhang refused without thinking.

If it were in the past, she would still feel sorry for her daughter, but after giving her the dowry, Zhang never felt that she owed her daughter anything.

With so much silver, how many chickens could be bought? But this ungrateful guy didn't even bring a single chicken to his mother's house.

Shen Yuan pulled Zhang aside and promised her a bunch of benefits, but Zhang remained unmoved.

Zhang felt that asking her to pay the money now was more painful than killing her.
