Jiang Guoyou’s face was slightly red, but he could not refute her. He also wanted to know what kind of magic potion Jiang Xi had given the chickens, ducks, and rabbits in the Jiang family’s old residence. Every morning when he got up, he would see a group of chickens and ducks lining up in front of Jiang Xi’s door to lay eggs. They looked so smitten by Jiang Xi!
Jiang Guoan pulled Old Madam Jiang back with a gloomy face. He was about to run for the position of the village chief, so he did not dare to make any trouble at all. He was confident that the position of the village chief was already in his pocket.
“It’s almost the Happiness Goddess’ birthday, and thee villages are all fighting for good fortune. You young people shouldn’t hurt the harmony.” The old village chief had also heard about the commotion in the Jiang family’s old residence during this period of time, so he gave Jiang Guoan some advice. Jiang Guoan’s expression changed. He quickly nodded in agreement and ran away with the old lady.
The town was famous for its Happiness Temple. Every three years, during the autumn harvest, the ‘fight for good fortune’ attracted many people to come and watch. Among them, five teams were formed with the surrounding villages as the main force. There was also a team from outside. That team was usually people from the government, belonging to the government. It was said that the person who snatched the most fortune would receive the blessing of the Happiness Goddess, which was a great fortune.
“Jiang Da, Zheng Rong, the two of you should rest well for the next two days. Try to give birth to a chubby little boy next year.” Yang Fen said directly. Recently, there had not been any movement in Zheng Rong’s stomach, so she had long been anxious. Zheng Rong did not dare to resist Yang Fen, so she could only nod her head.
The old people were particular about not having offspring. Zheng Rong was the eldest daughter-in-law. She had been taking medicine every day, but she could not get pregnant. Therefore, Zheng Rong was naturally a little guilty.
“Mom, I went to the river to take a look yesterday. The river water is almost empty, and I can vaguely see the backs of many fish. I guess it’s not easy to find good fortune this year.” Jiang Da put down his bowl and said to Yang Fen. Seeing Jiang Da put down his bowl, Zheng Rong hurriedly started to clean up.
There was a small river in the town that passed through five villages from five different directions and finally converged in the town. As a result, it was difficult to distinguish which village the small river belonged to. It was even said that people had fought over the uneven distribution of the river. Later on, the Happiness Temple released baby fish every three years, and the baby fish were mixed with the lucky fish engraved with the word’lucky’ using a special method. In the end, it was distributed according to the number of lucky fish caught by each village. Over time, this distribution method had become a special scenery in the town. The most interesting thing was that the lucky fish could also be freely matched, which facilitated many marriages, thus the lucky fish was also called marriage fish.
The second round of the fortune-snatching competition was even more interesting. Other than competing on luck, it was still a competition of luck.
“Let Jiang Xi try this year. If no one is on Jiang Xi’s team, Jiang Shan, you’ll be on her team.” Yang Fen paused for a moment and still felt that she could not hold her daughter in her hands anymore. At this time, Jiang Shan, who was called out, only felt a chill at the back of his head, as if he had done something unforgivable. His entire back was wet! He finally reacted to Yang Fen’s words and nodded silently.
In the courtyard of the Zhao family…
“Brother, father sent a letter saying that you should also go and snatch the fortune. Perhaps your bad luck will improve a little. Father also said that some noble person is coming, but who is this noble person?” Zhao Yingying’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. She had heard that the last time an attic in the courtyard collapsed, it was said that it was collapsed by the Butler’s fart. This made Zhao Yingying feel that her big brother was getting worse and worse.
“But I feel that there are too many women pregnant in the residence. Is father trying to snatch the fortune to give birth to a son?” Zhao Yingying covered her mouth and laughed. Zhao Ruifeng glared at her. He had almost finished dealing with the things here. If it was not for his father’s letter, he would have already rushed to Jing City to report.
Zhao Ruifeng looked at the letter in his hand and frowned. He had more suspicions in his heart. Perhaps his matter this time had aroused suspicion, and someone had deliberately come to test him.
“Go and find someone with a tough life.” Zhao Ruifeng was silent for a moment, then ordered Zhao Yingying.
Zhao Yingying’s eyes lit up, but when she thought about how her brother had already jinxed several people to death, she did not dare to harm other families’girls, so she could only do it herself. “Let me do it. I’m your sister. Do you think I’ll stop you from getting married?” Zhao Yingying made a solemn vow, thinking that there would not be any problems this way.
However, the next morning, Zhao Yingying, who had intended to give herself to him, had her leg broken by a beam that fell from the sky. Zhao Yingying’s face turned pale. Her brother not only jinxed other women but also her!
