Chapter 290 Resentment

Mrs. Zeng was also dumbfounded after hearing what her husband said.

That's absolutely true.

It was originally a marriage of high status, and the daughter had not gotten pregnant since marriage. The son-in-law was the eldest son, so the in-laws were already quite dissatisfied. Now, this kind of thing happened again. Although the source of the fault lies with the son-in-law, what parent would not favor their own children?

Besides, in this kind of thing, women are at a greater disadvantage than men.

She even sent over the dowry in neat and clear order, but her disdain was so obvious that she didn't want even a tiny bit of it to be associated with her family.

It has come to this. If my family continues to make trouble and insists that Mingzhu stay in the Qi family, you can imagine how much Mingzhu will be disliked by them in the future and how miserably she will be bullied by them.

This child has been proud since childhood. How can she bear it?

Mrs. Zeng felt a piercing pain in her heart, tears streaming down her face. "Forget it, forget it. It's better not to have such a heartless and ungrateful family. Who cares about them? Poor Mingzhu, she has suffered such a great injustice!"

Mr. Zeng sneered slightly and glanced at Mrs. Zeng with resentment.

To be honest, whether she felt wronged or not cannot be simply stated. If she had not acted in such a despicable way on her own initiative, she would not have harmed others and herself, and ended up like this.

The son-in-law was six points wrong, and she herself was four points wrong.

And isn't she the most direct reason for this happening?

Forget it, it’s too late to say anything now!

Mr. Zeng was angry, ashamed and irritated, but she was his daughter after all. Besides, she had been divorced and would live at home from now on, so he couldn't just ignore her.

Mr. Zeng had no choice but to say, "Tell her to stay home and not go out again. This matter will be over in a year or two. We can talk about it then."

It is not necessarily impossible to marry a good person again. As long as the person is good and the family is good, the worst that can happen is that you can give more dowry.

Mrs. Zeng gritted her teeth: "If it weren't for Xu Zhichun——"

"Shut up!"

Mr. Zeng was furious. He glared at Mrs. Zeng and shouted, "What's wrong with me? I didn't behave well and was schemed against by your good daughter, so I deserve to die? Is that right?"

Don’t you hate it? Of course I do.

After all, his daughter was schemed and harmed by Xu Zhichun, and even at this moment, he couldn't figure out how she had schemed against his daughter. But the more he thought about it, the more terrifying and difficult she seemed.

Besides, everyone knew that the county magistrate and his wife admired and valued her very much.

This matter ends here, she no longer intends revenge, and her family should probably burn incense and breathe a sigh of relief. Still wanting revenge? What revenge?

Madam Zeng was furious: "She is so vicious! Even if Mingzhu plotted against her, it would have been fine if she hadn't fallen for it and left, but she actually hurt Mingzhu so badly! The root of this matter is the eldest young master of the Qi family. Why did she hurt Mingzhu? Wasn't this intentional?"

"Putting all that aside, what kind of family is the Qi family? And who is this Xu? Does she really think that just earning a few coins is a big deal? It's her blessing that Young Master Qi likes her. Who is she acting like this for? She even hurt my Mingzhu so badly. And that damn girl Xiaoyan, Xu definitely couldn't have done all this alone. That damn girl must have helped. Maybe she was the one who instigated it."

"Master, I can't swallow this. Our Zeng family is not so easy to bully!"

Master Zeng closed his eyes and grew angrier the more he listened. "That's enough! Don't ever mention this again!"

"master!"

"If you hadn't spoiled Mingzhu, she wouldn't be like this! You should reflect on yourself!"

“.”

"Listen to me, if anything happens again, you two should go back to the countryside to recuperate!"

"master!"

Mr. Zeng snorted coldly and walked away.

Mrs. Zeng almost scratched her palms.

In Liangjia Village, the bustle of the Bai family was soon distracted by another incident.

After all, no matter how funny Bai's story is, she is still quite pitiful. She broke her leg and cannot move a step without three months of recuperation. She can't even walk normally without a year or two. Even if she recovers, her leg will be lame and she will become a cripple. She will suffer in the future when it is windy, rainy or the weather changes.

When I think about it this way, no matter how funny it is, I sigh a lot.

The matter between Liang Cui'er and the Han family was finally exposed.

Liangjia Village became famous throughout the county because of its sweet potato and potato cultivation, and every household became rich because of it.

For a country family, even the smallest amount they earn is still a huge fortune.

And I also have sweet potato and potato seeds, so I will definitely make money next year. Even if I don’t have this much, I will definitely make a lot!

What a delicious steamed bun.

Overnight, Liangjia Village became a popular destination in the eyes of neighboring villages.

Overnight, the unmarried men and women in Liangjia Village became the preferred marriage partners for families in the surrounding villages.

During this period of time, the frequency of matchmakers visiting Liangjia Village has increased significantly by many times compared to before.

Marriage partners who were previously out of reach for the villagers are now actively approached for discussion; those who were considered good before are no longer so attractive to the villagers.

That’s the situation in a nutshell.

Even Liang Cui'er, after the accident she had, had three families come to her house to propose marriage, but Liang Cui'er refused, saying those people were too snobbish and that she would wait a little longer. Even if she wanted to propose marriage, she would wait until next year. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if she waited a little longer.

Uncle Liang and Zhang also thought it made sense. Maybe next year their son Mingxiang would pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. Then their daughter would be able to marry into a better family.

They never expected that Liang Cui'er had actually been mixed up with the Han family of Quanshan Village for a long time.

Han Feng also wanted to find a girl from Liangjia Village to marry her younger brother-in-law.

In fact, she subconsciously set her sights on Liang Cui'er from the very beginning.

She was the eldest sister-in-law, and Xu Zhichun was also the eldest sister-in-law. The situations of the two families seemed similar. But if you really calculated carefully, her situation was even better than Xu Zhichun's at the beginning.

She has a son to support her, a mother-in-law who can help her a little, and her brother-in-law is grown up and is the pillar of the family and can work.

No one can bully her.

What about Xu Zhichun? What does she have?

She only had a young brother-in-law who she depended on for everything. Not only could he not do anything for her, but he also had to be raised by her. But he was not her son. When he grew up, got married, and had his own family, how could he still take her, his sister-in-law, seriously?

She was so foolish as to spend money to support her brother-in-law's studies and even boasted about him being a little prodigy. Han Fengshi laughed her head off behind her back and mocked Xu Zhichun for her stupidity countless times.

The village prodigy isn't a county or provincial prodigy. Who knows how others will compare him to them when he goes out. Is it really that easy to study and pass the imperial examinations? In the end, there's a good chance all his money will be wasted, leaving him penniless.
