"Hmph, don't be angry. There's no point getting angry with someone like that." Old Mrs. Xia spat towards the door.
Xia Chen thought to herself that she hadn't told the old lady about her mother and daughter bullying Zhiliao yet, so why was she so angry? If she knew, "Mom, what did Aunt Zhang tell you?"
In the past, when Xia Chen saw that the old lady was unhappy, she dared not ask any questions and wished she could bury her head in the ground.
Now that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is much better than before, she decided to ask around.
Old Lady Xia also explained naturally, "Mrs. Zhang wanted to marry Lotus to the fourth son, saying that Lotus is the eldest daughter and she is attracted to the fourth son's person, not after money, and has no other bad intentions. She also said that she is from Jiuniang County and cannot be trusted. She is after our money and is setting up a trap. Bah, I don't think I know what she is thinking?"
Xia Chen smiled bitterly, "I remember that you did praise Lotus before and wanted to propose a marriage to the third son."
"Don't talk about this anymore. It makes me angry. At that time, Mrs. Zhang didn't respond. Mother also has a daughter, and she doesn't want her to marry into a poor family and suffer. Mother also understands, so she didn't mention it again."
[What else? Grandma can still ask Zhang Hehua to do embroidery work to earn money, which is considered generous. ]
Old Mrs. Xia was very happy to be praised. She was very generous and did not hold grudges. She thought Zhang Hehua was capable. Of course, she also wanted to match her with the fourth brother, but she did not expect that the fourth brother would find someone who was not bad. What's more, she knew what happened just now, which meant that she had made a mistake in the past.
Zhang Hehua is a bad person.
"Who would have thought that after our family's life got better, she would have such an idea. It makes no difference. I'm worried about the temper of the fourth son. If he can't do anything useful and loses money, how can he support his daughter-in-law?" Old Mrs. Xia felt that by then, Zhang Hehua would definitely be gone, and she couldn't be prepared for another Zhang to come.
The thought of this frightened her.
"These two women have bad character."
"Mom, you are so awesome." Xia Chenshi thought the old lady didn't know and told her what had just happened.
Old Madam Xia sneered, "See, I was right. You think our little cicada is so easy to bully? Fortunately, they didn't agree back then. Otherwise, if they had a child like this, they would be so upset."
Seeing that the old lady had been standing for a while, Xia Zhiliao quickly moved a chair over for her to sit on, and the old lady Xia praised her again.
"I haven't finished yet. Mrs. Zhang saw that the fourth son was in trouble and she set her sights on Jinqing again."
Xia Chen was also shocked, "This...she must marry into our family."
"I don't care about her. She has a bad character. No matter how capable she is, it's useless. It would be troublesome to marry her. She is so happy now."
In the current Xia family, there is no conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Cheng Han is also an honest person. She stays in the house most of the time, quietly. She will also help when there is work to do and never causes dislike.
[You still want to marry my fifth uncle? My future fifth aunt is quite a prominent figure. ]
Old Mrs. Xia remained calm, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
…
Zhang family.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter crying on the kang. She tried to coax her but it didn't work. She lost her patience and said, "Come on, why are you crying? Isn't it time for that?"
"I...how can I not cry?" Zhang Hehua said angrily, her face red from crying, her eyes full of tears, "At first you looked down on her for being poor, Aunt Xia took the initiative to ask her out, but you didn't like it. Now that she's rich, she doesn't look down on me anymore. What's wrong with me?"
Mrs. Zhang blushed, "Then...then you were not happy about it at the beginning, right? Why are you blaming me?"
The mother and daughter accused each other, "If you agree, I can't stop you. If you have made up your mind to go with him, what can I do if I break your legs?"
Mrs. Zhang became more and more excited as she spoke. "No matter how capable you are, if you get pregnant, I will be even less able to control you."
Zhang Hehua glared at her. Is this something a mother would say?
"Oh, that's enough. If the fourth brother can't do it, don't we still have the fifth brother? The fifth brother has no master!" said Mrs. Zhang.
Although she was rejected by Old Mrs. Xia, she did not give up.
The Xia family is now a big piece of fat meat. Who wouldn't want to marry their daughter there? She is not the only one in the village who has such thoughts.
Of course, there are more people who want to marry Xia Jinxiu. After all, she is beautiful and can make money. Unfortunately, that girl has too high standards.
"What old five? Xia Jinqing is just an apprentice."
"You will be a doctor from now on." said Mrs. Zhang.
"A doctor is of no use. He's still poor. How can he be as capable as a businessman? The money will come in quickly. Besides, Xia Jinqing is a taciturn person. Xia Jinheng is better. He is eloquent and can coax people." Zhang Hehua became more and more sad as she spoke. She felt upset.
"That doesn't mean... she already has someone else. The only one left is Xia Jinqing. If you have the ability, take her down. When someone else in the Xia family has money in the future, you can give her some. It's better than marrying someone else."
"I don't want it, I don't want it, I want Xia Jinheng, he was originally mine." Zhang Hehua shouted.
Mrs. Zhang pouted and said, "Then you figure it out yourself. If you have the ability, you can marry him. If you don't, then just accept your fate."
Zhang Hehua was so angry that she lay on the kang and cried for a long time.
She refuses to accept her fate.
Xia Jinheng found Lei Jiuniang that day. Lei Jiuniang was quite surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
Xia Jinheng smiled and felt relieved when he saw the woman, "I'm worried about you."
"Why are you worried about me? This is not good. I am not afraid of big scenes. This will not be a problem for me."
"That being said, you had to be alone before, but now you have to get used to having me by your side." Xia Jinheng is indeed good at talking, but this time he did not try to coax people on purpose, but spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Lei Jiuniang pursed her lips and said, "With the important information Zhiliao told me, I will definitely win."
She is so confident that she never fights a battle she is not sure of winning.
"Those things that are being spread outside..." Xia Jinheng heard them on the way, "They are going too far."
The Jin family spread the news that Lei Jiuniang was unfaithful to her husband and was caught in bed with an adulterer. There was not a single nice word to say about her. They also said that the Jin family tried hard to keep her, but Lei Jiuniang was determined to elope with a wild man and leave the old couple.
In short, all the good things are from their Jin family, and all the bad things are pushed onto Lei Jiuniang.
Xia Jinheng wanted to rush in and fight them to the death.
Lei Jiuniang didn't care. She had heard it, of course. "Don't worry. They will come to me soon to beg me. By then, they will have to clean up the dirty water thrown on me bit by bit."
Xia Jinheng looked at her, seemingly not understanding.
Lei Jiuniang smiled slightly, "Although I have been in the Jin family for these years, my business friends recognize me, Lei Jiuniang, instead of the Jin family. Their business dealings with the Jin family are also because of my character. In less than five days, the Jin family will be in trouble!"
