Wang Erlang's real name is Wang Yaozong. As for his original name, nobody knows! He changed his name after he came to the Wang family with Qin Shi.

If you want to call him bad, he doesn't have much evil in him, otherwise Wang Yaozu wouldn't have been able to raise him for so many years. But he is really lazy. Now that his older brother isn't watching over him and his stepfather, Old Man Wang, doesn't plan to say anything, there's no one who can cure his laziness!

Actually, even if Old Man Wang were truly able-bodied, managing him would be quite a challenge! Laziness is ingrained in his bones! Moreover, Wang Erlang's greatest skill is feigning compliance while secretly defying authority. He can handle a mean old lady like Madam Qin with ease, managing to make her beam with joy, let alone others!

Seeing her mother's unpredictable expression, fearing that trouble would befall her and her son again, she quickly brought her son out!

"Dabao, wait until your mother comes back and see if there's anything to eat." Seeing his son's unpleasant expression, he coaxed him, though he wasn't really sure if his wife would bring back any food.

"Father, I'm hungry!"

"Hey, wait a minute, son!" Wang Erlang cried out in his heart, "Son, your dad is hungry too!"

The father and son, hungry, played with ants under the tree. These days, ants don't have much to eat, so they wandered around aimlessly.

Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, and it was Chen Xiaoyun who returned.

"Mother, Mother, you're back? Is there anything to eat?" Seeing his mother return, Da Bao ran over happily, but she came back empty-handed, clearly having brought nothing.

"Woman..."

Before Wang Erlang could even ask, Chen Xiaoyun waved her hand dismissively, as if swatting a fly. "All you ever do is eat! What's the difference between you and a child? I must have been blind to have married you!"

Nowadays, Chen Xiaoyun has probably forgotten how many tricks she used to marry into the Wang family. It was only because Wang Erlang was obedient that he was able to marry her.

However, Wang Erlang was probably clueless when it came to matters of love. He only knew that his mother was very satisfied with his wife, so he thought, "Why not marry her?" He didn't have any girls he liked, so he just wanted to please his mother. If his mother was happy, she wouldn't be nagging him every day about surpassing his elder brother!

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chen Xiaoyun snorted, rolled her eyes, and went inside to find Qin Shi.

"Mother, Mother!"

"What are you yelling about?! Can't you ever be a little more composed? You even look down on my son. Don't you know what kind of person you are?!" I used to think she was a good person, but it turns out she was just pretending!

However, their family hasn't established themselves in He County yet, so things haven't completely turned sour. Their son is quite handsome, even more so than Wang Dalang, so finding a wealthy woman wouldn't be impossible. They'll definitely divorce this woman then, and no matter how much she pleads, she won't soften her heart.

"Speak, what is it?"

Chen Xiaoyun wasn't unaware of her mother-in-law's displeasure, but she couldn't afford to turn against her right now; she still needed her mother-in-law's advice on today's matter!

"Mother, do you know who I saw today?" Seeing Qin looking at her suspiciously, Chen Xiaoyun didn't hesitate and continued, "Sister-in-law! I saw sister-in-law!"

A look of doubt flashed in Qin's cloudy eyes. "What did you say? You saw your sister-in-law?"

"Of course! I'm sure that's my sister-in-law. She has a red mole on the back of her neck, do you remember? It's definitely her!" Chen Xiaoyun said excitedly.

"Hmph, how did that bitch manage to get here? I wonder if those little brats are still alive? Did they see her in the refugee camp? I'm telling you, Erlang's wife, don't bring those damned bastards back. I don't have much money to support so many idle people!" After saying that, Qin threw down the broom in her hand and sat down next to the table with a missing plank.

Chen Xiaoyun snorted inwardly. That bitch is dressed and eating well now, and looks much plumper than before! Why?! Just thinking about it made her heart ache like it was being scratched by a cat!

Everything that Qin San Niang possesses should rightfully belong to her. If she could take it away before, she can do so now!

After adjusting her mindset, Chen Xiaoyun put on a smile again and said obsequiously to her mother-in-law, Qin Shi, "Mother, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. I saw that sister-in-law was living a very comfortable life. I've never seen cotton clothes like that before. And she's even wearing a huge silver hairpin with a begonia flower in her hair! Oh my, she really looks like a concubine from a wealthy family!"

Indeed, in Chen Xiaoyun's mind, Qin Sanniang must have become a concubine in a wealthy family to be so rich! Otherwise, how could she and her children, who were poor and had hardly any grain, have made it this far and still be wearing cotton-padded clothes and silver hairpins? She wondered which family's patriarch was so blind as to take a fancy to such a woman?

In her heart, she was thinking how wonderful it would be if she could become a concubine! On the way, she had seen concubines from wealthy families in the caravan, riding in oxcarts, served by maids, and eating and using things that she could only dream of.

At that time, Chen and others ate tree bark and vegetable roots, but still couldn't get enough to eat. This shock was so great that it distorted Chen Xiaoyun's values. Although her values ​​weren't very correct before, she would never have thought of becoming a plaything!

Upon hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't express her anger. In her whole life, she hated being called a second wife. If Wang Dalang's family was doing well, it would be even more unbearable for her. She would rather be a concubine than live as a concubine!

"What? What did you say? That slut, my son hasn't even been dead for three years, and she's already eagerly going out to find another man? And becoming someone's concubine?!" Being a concubine is one thing, she's just a plaything, but how can she be dressed in gold and silver and living such a good life! She absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

No, she had to find that little bitch. She couldn't possibly shut her up with a little money! If her master knew she'd been married before, and had a mother-in-law and father-in-law, how would she explain herself?! If that master was out of her mind and liked this kind of trash, she'd have to go through the proper channels and buy her from them!

“Mother, my sister-in-law is doing so well now, how can she not think of helping us? Maybe she can’t find us. Look at you and father-in-law, you are her future in-laws, and Da Wa and Xiao Er are your own grandchildren! How can we not be filial to you two?”

Chen Xiaoyun's eyes darted around as she thought about how to lure Qin Shi into her plan.
