Jiang Tao stammered a little when he spoke, but Tian Shi did not notice anything unusual about him.

As she continued picking vegetables, Tian said, "We're all human, so why aren't you as capable as An Dafu's kids? If you could earn that much money, our family would have built a house with tiled roofs long ago."

This isn't the first time she's brought these things up.

Jiang Tao ignored her and went straight to the main room, where he poured himself a large bowl of water and drank it.

He walked back, and had been wanting a drink of water for a while.

He hadn't left the main room yet.

Madam Tian walked in: "You and your eldest brother aren't young anymore. Money...you haven't made any money. Wives...you haven't found wives. When your father was your age, he already married me, and your eldest brother was born the following year..."

"Mom, are you ever going to stop?!"

Jiang Tao couldn't stand her anymore.

Tian was suddenly yelled at and got angry too.

"Why are you yelling at me? Your older brother was about to get married, but because of what you did, our family lost several taels of silver. Now your brother's wedding has to be postponed again, and you still have the nerve to yell at me!"

"You're useless yourself, and you've dragged your older brother down with you. How could I have given birth to a son like you..."

Tian launched into a tirade, infuriating Jiang Tao so much that he stormed out of the house.

Jiang Tao walked around outside and eventually came to Jiang Wanwan's house. He saw that their house had a lot of blue bricks and tiles piled up, and they even had people guarding it. He was extremely envious and jealous.

He thought of what his mother had said.

An idea popped into his head.

Time flew by, and the day to dig the foundation arrived.

An Wanwan and her family built a bigger house this time than before, so the foundation naturally had to be dug wider. Since houses were built haphazardly in the village, the extra foundation didn't cost them any money.

When the auspicious time arrives, all the necessary offerings are completed.

After An Dafu, the head of the family, dug the first hole, the people he hired started working.

The Xia family was extremely envious, but they also knew that An Wanwan and the others would never let them live in this house.

They probably want to improve their relationship.

An Wanwan and the others completely ignored them.

After much thought, Li Qingmei came up with a solution. She went to Madam Xia and said, "Mother, my elder brother only has Su Yueniang as his woman, so naturally he sides with her and his children. What if my elder brother has another woman?"

Xia's eyes lit up immediately.

That's right!

If my eldest son has another woman and another child, things will definitely not be the same as before.

Seeing that Xia was interested, Li Qingmei continued, "Mother, I have someone in mind right now. My younger sister went back to her parents' home a few days ago, so let her seduce my older brother."

"Your little sister?"

Xia could hardly remember what her sister looked like.

Li Qingmei looked around and whispered, "Mother, this is what happened. My younger sister hasn't had any children since she got married, and her whole family thinks it's her fault. But after seeing a doctor, they said it was her husband's problem, so my mother and the others told her to divorce him..."

so.

Suddenly thinking of Li Qingmei's appearance, Xia said, "What does your little sister look like? You want her to seduce your eldest brother? If she's not pretty, she can't seduce him. Besides, your eldest brother is with Su Yueniang and the others all day long, how can she seduce him?"

Li Qingmei was just saying it casually; she hadn't really thought about how to seduce her.

Recall what Xia said earlier.

Li Qingmei clenched her fists.

She knew that Xia thought she was not good-looking.

Her sister must not be pretty either.

Li Qingmei was still hoping to get rich by relying on her younger sister, so she suppressed her displeasure and said, "Mother, I take after my father, and my little sister takes after my mother. She's pretty and delicate. Besides, she's younger than Su Yueniang; she's only twenty-three this year..."
