Chapter 28: Favoring Girls over Boys

"Mom, are you scared too?" Jiang Xiaomi was sensitive to Jiang Suying's emotional fluctuations. She immediately stepped forward and hugged Jiang Suying's slightly plump waist in her arms, saying loudly: "Don't be afraid, mom, I will protect you! I have a lot of strength, no one can get past me to bully you!"

Doctor Jiang has been practicing medicine for decades. He is no longer the young man who knows everything and says everything. He only becomes a chatterbox when he is uneasy or anxious.

Jiang Xiaomi also realized it later, and immediately stuck close to her mother.

Jiang Suying's waist was pinched so hard that it hurt so much and her eardrums were almost shattered, but her heart was still burning.

Otherwise, she would be accused of favoring girls over boys!

Look at the son who was sitting quietly beside her, not knowing what happened, and then look at the daughter who was hugging her and saying sweetly that she would not let anyone bully her. She doesn't need to tell you which is more important!

Although, it's not that her son doesn't love her, he's just introverted and not good at expressing himself, but——

But what but!

You don't say anything, so I have to guess whether you love me or not!

Go play!

The mother and daughter talked about their innermost feelings. Jiang Suying naturally wouldn't say that she was scared or scared to death, but Jiang Xiaomi kept emphasizing how great she was.

Jiang Xiumian, a grown man, couldn't find a chance to get a word in. He just sat there looking at the two of them, unaware that his status in his mother's heart had been declining again and again.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Jiang Suying remembered that there were some things she hadn't explained.

"Xiaomi, Xiaomian, we just arrived in this ancient time and there are too many things to deal with, so your father and I have never had a serious chat with you."

She was fine, but Jiang Yipei was really busy. Although the family could see each other every day, they really had no time to sit down and talk. Even to discuss what their family of four should do in the future in this ancient time, the couple had to force themselves to discuss it during their sleep time.

"Your father and I mean that we should try our best to consider ourselves as part of the Jiang family. After all, our family is now using the bodies of the original owner's family of four. Unless we have no other choice, we should try not to abandon the Jiang family. Do you understand what I mean? Especially you, Jiang Xiumian, use some of your brain for research to live your life. Don't be so stupid!"

Jiang Xiumian: "."

He is really tired.

In the three days since I came to ancient times, I have received more scolding than in the thirty years of modern times combined.

What is wrong with this world?

Can't we give a smart and honest modern soul a chance to survive?

Jiang Xiaomi looked at her brother sympathetically and could only divert her mother's attention: "Mom, I understand! You should be grateful for using someone else's body. It is your responsibility to take care of the Jiang family and help the Jiang family, but you must do it within your ability and leave room for maneuver. No matter what the situation, saving your own life is the most important thing."

Jiang Suying gave her an admiring look and said, "It's good enough that you know it yourself. There's no need to say it out loud."

Jiang Xiumian: "It has to be you, Jiang Xiaomi."

"You stay here." Jiang Suying said, "Not only the Jiang family, but also Jiangjia Village. In the heart of your father's original body, besides his own family, the most important thing is the family. In this era, big families all emphasize family supremacy. Your father's original body's greatest ambition, besides being the prime minister of the cabinet, is to develop the Jiang family into a great family."

"Wow!" Jiang Xiaomi exclaimed, "Such lofty ambitions! I'm afraid there's no hope in this life!"

Jiang Suying nodded. Her husband's original body had no hope, and her husband had no hope either. What kind of ability and family background could he have to aspire to be the Prime Minister? Being the Prime Minister was easy, right? !

"I have no hope of becoming the Prime Minister, but there is still a small hope of developing my family. Although I cannot become a big family, I can still become a small aristocratic family in the local area. Although Jiangjia Village is small, with only 60 households, there are scholars in every household.

Some just want to learn some characters, some want to take the imperial examination. There are nine people taking the imperial examination, two of whom have already become students, one is Jiang Xiubai, and the other is your brother. As for those who just want to learn characters, you don't have to worry about anything else except the tuition fee during the enlightenment stage. Your father will take care of the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. "

"Scholars are precious, and there is a reason for that. Your father donated a large sum of money to the clan every year. He was a man of foresight, but he was unlucky and died unjustly."

Jiang Xiaomi: "It's really unfair. They probably never dreamed that a small mushroom could kill their entire family."

"You'd better be careful. Don't think you are a botany major and you can get arrogant just by flipping through two books and drinking two drops of ink. You have to take make-up exams every semester. It's a waste of time to rely on you to develop farming in this ancient time." Jiang Suying warned him worriedly and couldn't help but complain a few words.

Jiang Xiaomi could only listen. After all, she was tough and not afraid of being scolded.

"In the past, everyone was a farmer working in the fields for a living, and there was no opportunity to care about family honor," Jiang Suying continued.

"So your father has been consciously cultivating and developing the family since he passed the imperial examination, allowing the family members to subtly improve the status of the family's honor in their hearts."

"After he passed the imperial examination, he established a relationship with the county magistrate at the time and widened the road from the village to the town, which was difficult for even a cart to pass through."

"Since he passed the imperial examination, he built a school in the village. Since he didn't have enough energy, he invited a scholar to come back to help educate the children."

"Since he passed the imperial examination and became an official, Jiangjia Village has become the most famous village in the county. Whether it is doing small business or working outside, people stand up straight."

"Moreover, when the Jiang family's restaurant purchases, they usually consider the people in the village first. Some of the waiters and kitchen helpers they hire are also from the village. In general, the relatives of Jiangjia Village have more or less benefited from your father's original body and have received his favor directly or indirectly."

"Your father originally had no foundation, and he served as an official for a short time, so the development of Jiangjia Village has not reached the peak. If he had served as an official for ten, twenty, or thirty years, it would be enough to train two generations of the family. Through imperial examinations, donations to officials, building relationships, and spending money, who dares to say that Jiangjia Village cannot become a small aristocratic family in the future?"

"Oh, I'm getting off topic." Jiang Suying: "What I just said was that it was all after your father's original body became rich. When he was a child, his family had to support him to study, so they lived a tight life. He suffered a lot and was bullied by many classmates."

Jiang Xiaomi was puzzled: "Hasn't he always been the head of the village? Why is he still so poor?"

"Your grandfather is the head of the village, not the county magistrate. Most villagers won't offend him, but that doesn't mean they will worship him and give money to your family to spend? You're so flattered!" Jiang Suying tapped Jiang Xiaomi's little head.
