Chapter 59: Mrs. Bai's attack

The group returned to Bai Mansion.

Nanny Li immediately went to find Madam Bai to report, and no one knew what she said when Wan went to Madam Bai's courtyard to serve her.

Mrs. Bai actually set some rules for her, making her stay outside in the sun for half an hour before letting her in.

Wan was sweating profusely, but she didn't dare to complain.

Madam Bai glanced at her coldly and asked slowly, "I heard from Madam Li that Su Yu married well, and the son of the village chief. Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

Wan Shi hurriedly explained: "Madam, although my son-in-law is the son of the village chief, he is also a farmer. He has not divided the family and has no other means of making a living. He is also a man who has been engaged. I don't think there is anything to say.

It is only because the village chief's family is close to my uncle's family and they know each other well, so I feel more at ease and agreed to this marriage."

Mrs. Bai looked indifferent. She did not let Wan go because of what she said. Instead, she asked about Su Chunlin's family background.

Mrs. Wan looked bewildered. "Madam, you are very wise. I may not see my uncle's family once a year. I only met him once when he got married. Later, when there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, my uncle always came to the county town to ask us for help. I only let the child's father deal with it and never showed up in person.

If Xiaoyu had not been in the village now, I would have had little contact with my uncle's family. I also heard about their family affairs from the child's father.

But everyone knows that their family has made a lot of money from farming, and I guess the county yamen runners also know about it."

She deliberately mentioned the yamen runner to tell Mrs. Bai that Su Chunlin's family's money had nothing to do with them.

Mrs. Bai couldn't stand the servants in the mansion having powerful relatives. When she heard this, her face darkened and she thought about how to threaten Mrs. Wan.

At this moment, Nanny Li whispered a lot of words into Mrs. Bai's ear.

Mrs. Bai's expression eased, she looked at Mrs. Wan, and said thoughtfully, "Su Chuan is not young anymore, and now Su Yu has married, it is really inappropriate for him as a brother to be alone. Cuilan, the maidservant who came with the eldest young lady's dowry, has not married yet, so let her go with Su Chuan."

Wan was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at the complacent Nanny Li. She felt that there was something fishy going on, but she didn't know what the problem was, so she could only agree temporarily.

As soon as Wan left, Nanny Li asked in confusion, "Why didn't Madam search Su Chunsen's family's belongings? What if they really bought property outside?"

"Why are you panicking?" Madam Bai sneered coldly, "She can remain calm in front of you, which means she is not afraid of investigation at all. If I really search their assets and find nothing, wouldn't Su Chunlin's family be alienated from the Bai Mansion?

I don't have to use Wanxiang, but the master trusts Su Chunsen very much, and the eldest master is also satisfied with Su Chuan. Why should I make the family restless because of some unfounded rumors?

Just wait and see! After Cuilan gets married, she will know the family background of the Su family after a long time. Then you can go and find out, and you will know everything! "

Anyway, the indentures of their family were in her hands, so she didn't need to rush.

At this time, Wan was in the Qiufeng Courtyard of Young Master Bai, and told Su Chuan about the marriage arranged by Mrs. Bai.

Su Chuan's reaction was relatively calm. He only raised his eyebrows and reminded Wan, "Mother, that Nanny Li is not a good person. You must not let her know anything in the future."

Wan nodded repeatedly, clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "Even if you don't say it, I will draw a clear line between me and her in the future. Isn't she just the Madam's dowry? Do you really think you can cover up everything with one hand? You wait, I will get back at you later! But son, why did the Madam betroth Cuilan to you?

Logically speaking, she is the eldest young master's wife's personal maid, and is considered a respectable person in the mansion. The lady is obviously trying to pressure our family to let you marry Cuilan. Is there something wrong with her?"

Su Chuan glanced at the study room and shook his head at Wan Shi, "Mother, that's not the case. If Cuilan really had any problems, how could Madam keep her in the mansion? I guess it was Nanny Li who was trying to please Madam. Madam was afraid that our family would really buy property outside, so she let me marry Cuilan.

You only have me as your son, and I married a maid from the mansion. My family has been servants of the Bai Mansion for generations."

Wan Shi was very unhappy to hear this. She subconsciously lowered her voice and moved closer to Su Chuan, "Son, tell me honestly, do you also want to leave the Bai Mansion?"

If she had not been to Dongmen Village, she would not have had such a guess. But after this visit, she saw the stability and prosperity of Su Chunlin's family, as well as the situation in the village, and her inherent cognition was shaken.

Su Chuanyan shook his head insincerely, "Mom, don't think too much, go back first, I have to go to the Madam and the eldest young master's wife to thank them later."

As soon as Wan walked out of Qiufeng Courtyard, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking coming from Young Master Bai's study.

She paused, then quickly quickened her pace and left.

This side of Dongmen Village.

After Su Yu got married successfully, Su Chunlin and his wife seemed to have unloaded a heavy burden and turned their attention to farm work.

As midsummer approaches, the crops in the fields need to be watered once in the morning and once in the evening. The Su family has eight more acres of wasteland this year, so they have to take care of them more carefully than others.

Even Su Tai had to go to the fields to weed and water the plants.

In the midst of busyness, Tu Shikong's two acres of rice once again had a good harvest. After selling it to the automatic trading cabinet, he got 3,600 coins.

Since the upgrade of Mu Shikong, she has seen all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable store. She also knows that in addition to rice, paddy fields can also grow other aquatic vegetables, such as wild rice and lotus roots.

So this time she decided to grow wild rice instead.

Firstly, vegetables have a short maturity period and the cost of trial and error is low; secondly, she can test the yield of paddy field vegetables per mu, so that she can know which crops are most cost-effective.

After arranging the work in the paddy fields, Su Tai no longer cared about the fields in Tu Shikong.

Because at this time, news came from Su Changxi's family that Su Yu was pregnant.

As Su Yu's closest family, Su Tai's family naturally has to show their respect.

So Han caught chickens and cut meat, bought ingredients, and sent them to Su Changxi's house in large and small packages.

Huang saw those things and smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed. "You guys can just come here, why do you bring these things? Can our family still starve Xiaoyu of food and clothing?"

Han quickly put the meat down and took out the fine linen cloth. "I looked around the town for a long time and this is the softest material, suitable for children. Take it and make two small clothes for the baby in Xiaoyu's belly."

Su Tai subconsciously reached out and touched the material, muttering, "It's not very soft either."

Huang teased her, "You little girl don't know the ropes. This fine linen costs fifty coins per foot, and coarse cloth costs only twenty coins per foot. Your mother spent at least two hundred coins on this piece of material, and you still despise it!"

Su Tai couldn't help but smacking her lips, silently thinking about how much the cotton cloth made from the Earth Time and Space could sell for.
