My Wife is a Psychic

Chapter 16

The Beam of Your House Is Not Bad

The other sons of the Jiang family looked at Jiang Si with dark faces. After Yang Fen paid Jiang Si, she took out more than 8,000 Yuan for the medicine, and their faces turned even uglier. Jiang Si was very good at studying, and this was also one of the most boastful things of the Jiang family in Happy Village. Yang Fen and Jiang Guoyou had been counting on Jiang Si to bring glory to the family, but even so…

“Mom, Jiang Si just received 1,000 yuan last month. Why is he asking for 2000 yuan again? Our family’s expenses for the past two months aren’t even as much as Jiang Si’s expenses.” Jiang Er mumbled, a little dissatisfied.

Yang Fen did not say anything. She lowered her eyes and said to Jiang Er, “What do you know? Jiang Si is a scholar, he’s different from us. He has to spend some money to buy books and eat with his classmates. Otherwise, others will look down on him.” Yang Fen thought that scholars were always superior to others. The other three sons of the Jiang family snorted.

“Take this medicine three times in the morning and evening, and apply it externally once. Don’t forget, if you have any suppuration on your leg, you must come to me in time. Don’t delay the treatment.” Doctor Cao instructed. When he saw that only Yang Fen was listening attentively while the others were in a daze and did not know what to think, he felt a little sad. The reason why Yang Fen had taken the money to treat Jiang Guoyou was probably to let Jiang Guoyou recover faster so that he could earn money to take care of her family.

“Jiang Da and Jiang Er, you two go and drive the ox cart. Jiang Shan, you carry your father. Jiang Xi… Just sit still and don’t move.” Yang Fen’s tone changed. Jiang Guoyou’s encounter was probably related to Jiang Xi’s disturbance at Yang Kun’s wedding. At the thought of her family becoming enemies with Yang Shaoqun, Yang Fen almost cried.

“Se’s so pretty. She’s definitely not a good woman” Jiang Xi suddenly said as he looked at the pregnant woman in green clothes a few meters away. Beside the woman in green clothes was a man with a decent appearance. When the man’s eyes met Jiang Xi’s, he panicked and hurriedly pulled the pregnant woman behind him. Then, he also hid in the crowd, as if he was very afraid of Jiang Xi. However, the man’s action was so violent that the pregnant woman in green suddenly fell backward.

“Hey!” The pregnant woman screamed, “My back…” her voice was shrill and sounded like she was crying. There was even a hint of coquettishness in her voice. The man was so frightened that his face turned pale instantly. His heart ached for her.

Jiang Xi was stunned for a moment. She blinked and did not come back to her senses for a long time. Was her ability to verify things already so strong? Was there no longer a cooldown?

“She deserves it! Cheap woman! She dared to hook up an engaged man! This fall would probably break her back! It’s good that it’s broken!” Yang Fen turned around when she heard the sound. After seeing the man and the pregnant woman, her eyes were filled with disgust. This man was also the man who had been engaged to Jiang Xi before, but he had been seduced by the woman in green. The two of them had done something despicable and gotten pregnant.

Jiang Xi sat on the ox cart as he walked past the woman who had fallen down. The ox cart swayed along with the movement as it moved forward. When they returned to the Happy Village, the sky was already dark. Every household had lit an oil lamp. Some of the families who were poor and could not bear to light an oil lamp had to sit by the door and smoke a tobacco pipe under the moonlight.

“The Jiang family is back? Is your Jiang Guoyou alright? Your family has been really unlucky recently. If you have nothing to do, go to the temple and pray.” The meddlesome woman did not mind the drama and shouted at Yang Fen. What she meant was that the Jiang family had been in bad luck recently, which was why everything had been so bad!

Yang Fen only nodded and did not say anything. The woman was about to say something when Jiang Xi suddenly spoke. She looked at the woman and said, “The beams of your house are so nice.”

The words that the woman was about to say were stuck in her throat. Jiang Xi’s words were more effective than anything else. Not only did the woman not dare to say anything, but her face also turned pale. She was afraid that Jiang Xi would really hang herself on the beam of their house.

As soon as Jiang Xi finished speaking, the gossip in the village instantly reduced a lot. However, some enthusiastic villagers helped to carry Jiang Guoyou into the Jiang house. There was strength in numbers, and they carried Jiang Guoyou into the house in a few moves. Yang Fen thanked the people who had helped her one by one and wanted to give each of them an egg as a token of appreciation, but those people did not want it.
