Chapter 96 Not worth it
Xia Mingyue also pursed her lips, "There are thousands of kinds of things, and so are people."

This statement refers to both the Tian family and Jiang Yihe.

Jiang Zhuguo, who came out of the house, understood what Xia Mingyue meant and witnessed all of Tian's reactions.

Her mother really disappointed her.

In the past, I only thought that my mother suffered a lot for my father.

Not only does she have to suffer herself, but she also has to drag her daughter through it.

This suffering would be fine, but now, for the sake of those silver coins, even her life is disregarded.

And his father, just as she had vaguely guessed earlier, was a selfish and cold-hearted man. He was probably capable of abandoning his wife and daughter as Sister Xia had just mentioned.

Is such a family and such parents still worth it for her?
Jiang Zhuguo bit her lip, wiping away the tears that kept falling, and bowed to Xia Mingyue, Wu Xiong and the others, "Thank you, Sister Xia, thank you, Brother Wu, thank you everyone..."

"Mrs. Jiang, you are too polite." Wu Xiong was a rough man. Seeing Jiang Zhuguo in tears, he was extremely flustered, but he didn't know how to comfort her. He just rubbed his hands nervously and said for a long time, "Mrs. Jiang, please don't be sad."

For some reason, seeing Jiang Zhuguo crying like this, he felt as if he was being scratched by a cat.

The feeling of being at a loss.

"I'm not sad." Jiang Zhuguo wiped away her tears again and tried to force a smile, "I'm not sad anymore."

It's not worth being sad.

"I think Tian and Jiang Yihe will come again later." Wu Xiong said, "You guys should cheer up and do your work well."

Bring out all your usual ruthlessness and let these two bastards know how powerful they are.

It also vented Jiang Zhuguo's anger.

"I guess she won't come again." Xia Mingyue said, "Mrs. Tian is timid and can't make up her mind about anything. Jiang Yihe is probably smart and can see the tricks here, but he probably doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he should be able to keep quiet for a few days."

As for whether Jiang Yihe will have other tricks in the future, we will have to wait and see.

When the enemy comes, we will fight back; when the water comes, we will block it with earth; we will meet each other's moves with counterattack.

"Yes." Wu Xiong nodded, "Then let's go back first. If there is anything, Madam Xia can always send someone to find me."

"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed and sent Wu Xiong and his group out.

After cleaning up, Xia Mingyue said to Jiang Zhuguo, "I'm going to help at the food stall. You take a good rest at home and lock the door. You don't have to open the door unless we come back. If anything happens, Wu Jin is here."

It is more than enough to deal with Tian and Jiang Yihe.

Wu Jin woofed at the right time, indicating that it could definitely complete the task.

Jiang Zhuguo took a ladle and drew water from the water tank, "Sister Xia, wait for me. I will go to the food stall with you to work."

She was going to do her job well since she was receiving the wages from Sister Xia.

Now that I have received such a great favor, I must work hard and there is absolutely no reason to rest at home.

Xia Mingyue felt a little sorry for Jiang Zhuguo, but when she thought that it would be better for her to be busy at this time, she agreed.

After instructing Wu Jin to stay at home to look after the house, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, went to Xia Ji together.

Here, Tian was rushing home in a hurry.

It cost three cents to take a bullock cart.

At this time, saving money was out of the question. Jiang Yihe was absent-mindedly holding a book at home. When he saw Tian Shi coming back, his eyes lit up, but when he saw that Tian Shi was the only one there, his face darkened, "Where is the bamboo fruit? Didn't you bring it back?"

Useless stupid woman!
How could he report to the Zhang family if he didn't bring Jiang Zhuguo back?
"Husband, this is terrible, Jiang Zhuguo..." Tian was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. She coughed violently for a while because of her excitement. After she caught her breath, she told Jiang Yihe about the thugs from the Sifang Casino who came to Xia Mingyue's house to ask for money.

"What's wrong with that damn girl Zhuguo? Why did she go to the gambling house to gamble for no reason? She even owes so much money. What should we do?"

Tian was at a loss and looked at Jiang Yihe, "My husband, what should we do? Should we pay back the 100 taels of silver and get the bamboo fruit back?"

How does he know?
Jiang Yihe was very upset.

I thought Xia Mingyue was just meddling in other people's business, but Tian talked about the ethics and morals, and Xia Mingyue realized the seriousness of the matter and released Jiang Zhuguo.

I never thought that Xia Mingyue would be so nosy as to meddle in other people's business.

How could Jiang Zhuguo, an honest and family-oriented girl, go to a gambling house and lose so much money?

Even if Jiang Zhuguo had the courage and the heart to do so, the timing was just too coincidental, and it just happened to be one hundred taels.

This was clearly just a show put on by Xia Mingyue and a few other people.

He wanted to bring Jiang Zhuguo back but felt that the deal was a bit of a loss, but if he didn't bring Jiang Zhuguo back he wouldn't be able to explain to the Zhang family.

Not only did he save Jiang Zhuguo, but he was also in a very difficult situation, killing two birds with one stone.

Although he knew that this was all a drama, he did not dare to make a scene in the government office for the sake of his reputation.

This Xia Mingyue has such a vicious mind!
And this Jiang Zhuguo, he has really grown wings and is planning to make a big move!

"Husband, what should we do?" Seeing that Jiang Yihe didn't speak for a long time, Tian asked again.

Jiang Yihe was already impatient, and now he was even more annoyed. "What else can I do? I can only cancel the Zhang family's marriage."

break off an engagement?
Tian was stunned. "Can the Zhang family do it?"

"It has come to this point. The Zhang family has to make do with it." Jiang Yihe said, "Unless the Zhang family personally pays back the money that Jiang Zhuguo owes and takes the person away."

But this is unlikely.

Spending one hundred taels of silver to marry a concubine is not cost-effective or worthwhile no matter how you look at it.

The Zhang family is not a sucker and they probably won’t do such a deal.

"Zhu Guo owes the gambling house that one hundred taels of silver..." Tian was worried that the people from the gambling house would come to her house, and she was even more worried that they would go to the academy to disturb Jiang Yihe.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, just let them go find Jiang Zhuguo to ask for it." Jiang Yihe said, "Just say this, and they won't dare to do anything if you leave them alone."

They just wanted to save Jiang Zhuguo and make things difficult for him, so what more could those people do?
However, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo were too clever for their own good, thinking that everything would be fine from now on?
Jiang Zhuguo will be of marriageable age next year, and it is time to arrange a marriage. The most important thing is reputation and character.

No one would dare to marry a young girl who is in gambling debt.

Since you don't want to be a concubine, then just be an old maid for the rest of your life!

As for Xia Mingyue, a gentleman's revenge is never too late. When he becomes successful and famous, will he worry about not being able to deal with a young lady selling food at a stall?

Jiang Yihe felt much better when he thought about it.

Tian was still worried about the Sifang Gambling House, but when she saw her husband so confident, she felt much more at ease, but then she was filled with guilt.
