Chapter 174 The Importance of Sons
By the beginning of May, the Wei family had finished all their farm work. Xu brought Shen Liang to their home again, and also sent them cloth and a set of pure silver head ornaments.
Everyone in the Wei family was delighted with those things and was very enthusiastic towards Xu and Shen Liang.
Chen was even busier, serving tea and water, and her attentiveness attracted people's attention.
Xu was wondering, and Wei Erya, who was watching coldly, found an opportunity to secretly tell Xu and Shen Liang about the conflict between Chen and Wei Daya.
Xu was shocked and puzzled. As she was still in the Wei family, she could not reveal her true thoughts. Based on the principle of believing what is there, she smiled and said to Liu Jinhua, "The things sent here now are not complete. Some food will be sent when the day is near. Oh, by the way, when Daya gets married, we hope she will wear that headdress to look elegant."
"Okay, okay! I'll do as you say." Liu Jinhua always agrees to requests and is very easy to talk to.
Seeing her like that, Xu felt inexplicably relieved, and the smile on her face eased a lot. She glanced at Chen in turn, and seeing her visible disappointment, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, feeling inexplicably angry.
Chen was originally really happy, thinking that the headgear given by the Shen family contained a lot of things and she could keep some. But now she heard that they had no intention of giving her this opportunity at all.
His attitude towards Xu's mother and son became much more perfunctory, and he couldn't even maintain the fake smile on his face.
Xu didn't want to have any conflict with Chen at this time, so she took Shen Liang away immediately after the matter was settled.
As soon as they left, Liu Jinhua immediately asked Wei Daya to pack up the things and put them in her room. It was obvious that she was on guard against Chen, which made Chen's face even gloomier, but she dared not say anything.
After leaving Liujiazhuang, Xu began to grumble, "I thought the Wei family had a good family tradition, but I never expected there would be a troublemaker like Chen, and she's your mother-in-law. I'm a little regretful about getting married now."
Chen Liang smiled helplessly, "Mom, nothing in the world is perfect. It's okay as long as Daya is a good person. As for her mother, when Daya marries, she will be a member of our family, and her mother can't control us. Besides, don't we still have Grandma Jinhua and Uncle? Look at the strength of Uncle using pliers to burn people, Daya's mother will definitely not dare to make trouble. At the very least, Daya's father is here, and you are here too, so what is there to worry about?"
When Xu thought about it carefully, she realized that this was indeed the case and she felt relieved.
As Chen Liang's marriage was almost ready and Su Tai couldn't help much, she took advantage of the warm weather and asked Chen Yi to drive her back to her parents' home in a donkey cart, and prepare a large basket of bread and cakes for her parents' home, totaling one thousand virtual coins, plus a large bucket of fish and crayfish.
The villagers of Dongmen Village were so envious that they didn't want to say anything when they saw Su Tai bring a lot of things every time she went back to her parents' home, but many of them couldn't help but praise her.
Su Tai brought a lot of bread and cakes this time, and quickly asked Chen Yi to take a 13-inch egg cake and give it to Tao, "Auntie, there are a lot of people here, you can divide it up and let the grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts and uncles have a taste."
Children have the most sensitive noses. They would come over from far away following the smell. Originally there were only one or two, but later there were seven or eight.
Everyone stared at the cake in Tao's hand.
Mrs. Tao was originally happy, but as there were too many people, there was not enough cake to go around. She could no longer maintain the smile on her face and started to divide the cake in a panic.
Shen Yuezhang in Su Tai's arms was drooling at the aroma of the cake. He babbled in baby language and kept reaching out to Tao.
Dow is in even greater trouble.
Su Tai couldn't help laughing and shouted, "Don't fight over it, I still have some. I'll give you some more."
Mrs. Tao hurriedly shook her head, "Xiao Tai, you brought this back to your mother's home specially, how could it disappear as soon as you entered the village? That's outrageous!"
"It's all right, auntie. These are homemade snacks. My mother and her family often eat them. I'll share some with the children." As she said this, she took out two thirteen-inch egg cakes.
With these two big cakes, everyone felt relieved and praised her for being generous.
The children got the food and their eyes lit up when they looked at Shen Yuezhang in Su Tai's arms.
Su Tai had just entered the house when she found a little tail following her. After a closer look, she was delighted and waved at him quickly, "Yong Zhang, why are you here?"
Su Yongzhang had finished eating the cake in his hand and was staring at the one in Shen Yuezhang's hand.
Su Tai took out a large piece of bread and gave it to him with a smile, "Eat slowly and drink some water."
"Yong Zhang! Yong Zhang" Su Yu's voice came from outside.
Su Tai quickly responded in a hoarse voice, "At my house!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yu appeared with a cane in her hand. Seeing her heartless son eating a large piece of bread with gusto, she laughed angrily, "You little bastard, you ran away as soon as your mother turned around! Do you know that I was almost scared to death?"
She had just taken Su Yongzhang to the village entrance to talk to Mrs. Tao. Unexpectedly, after sitting for a while, she wanted to go to the toilet, so she left the child to Mrs. Tao to look after for a while. As a result, when she came back, she saw a group of people gathered around Mrs. Tao, but her son was missing.
Mrs. Tao was also startled. When she heard about Su Tai, she hurried over and just happened to see this scene.
Su Tai was worried that Su Yu would hit the child, so she quickly protected him behind her, "I brought him back. I didn't know where you were. I will definitely say hello next time."
Su Yu glared at her, clearly not believing her, but she didn't expose her. She glanced at her son, her eyes softened a little, and she sat down and said, "According to the date, my cousin is about to give birth. I wonder if she can give birth to a son this time?"
Su Yu subconsciously clenched her fists, showing her inner unrest.
Su Tai was puzzled. "Cousin, this is my cousin's first baby. It's fine as long as it's safe. It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
Su Yu showed a pale bitter smile, "You don't understand, the Zhu family, Cui family, and Bai family are the three major families in our Zhaohua County, among which the Cui family is the strongest, the Zhu family is second, and the Bai family is third. My father, mother, and eldest brother have completely offended the Bai family, and they must gain a foothold in the Zhu family.
If the Zhu family doesn't want them, they will most likely fall into the hands of the Bai family again. How can they survive then?
You also know about my cousin's situation. She is the mistress of Mr. Zhu. She has no name or status and no protection. She relies entirely on Mr. Zhu's favor. If she falls out of favor one day, what will my parents do if she comes back safely?
Young Master Zhu accepted my father, mother and elder brother because of Yunyun, and he would also abandon them if Yunyun fell out of favor.
The best way is for Yunyun to give birth to a son for Master Zhu. Even if Yunyun falls out of favor in the future, Master Zhu will not ignore them."
Su Tai listened carefully and frowned subconsciously, "No, Yunyun gave birth to a son from another woman. Master Zhu has no shortage of women who can give birth to sons for him. Why do you think that everything will be fine if Yunyun gives birth to a son?"
