"Ms. Cai Liu, although your family is rich, it is only considered rich in this area. In the provincial capital, it is not worth mentioning at all." Yuan's mother deliberately retorted.
"Whether it's worth mentioning or not is not important to me." Liu Shulin was not angry, nor did she need to be angry. She maintained a calm attitude. "As long as we can live a decent life and have enough food, clothing and shelter, I'm content. Well, for the current life, I feel pretty good."
Yuan's mother said, "Cai Liu, you are too unambitious. People should pursue the best. For example, when drinking tea, drink the best Lingxiu tea, eat the best rice, wear the best clothes, sleep on the best bed, live in the best house, and wear the best jewelry... Compared with the life of my Xiao'e now, your family seems a bit shabby. After all, my Xiao'e eats and uses the best. Your family can't compare."
"As parents, our lives have naturally improved as well, and your family's lives are incomparable."
As she spoke, her eyes flashed with pride and she glanced at Liu Shulin.
But, to her disappointment, there was no change in the expression on Liu Shulin's face.
She then continued, "Cai Liu, let me tell you, our Xiao'e married into the Ji Mansion, married the third young master of the Ji Mansion, and became the third young master's wife."
"You should have heard of the Ji Mansion, right?"
"They are the richest and most powerful families in our prefecture and its jurisdiction, including all the county towns!"
"Many of the shops in the city belong to them!"
"Not only that, it is said that they also have a store in our county town!"
"Besides, their family has produced several officials. The most senior ones are all high-ranking officials in the imperial court. They are of very high ranks and not something that ordinary people can afford to offend!"
"Even the Prince's Mansion in our county has to be respectful to the Ji Mansion and dare not provoke it, let alone ordinary people."
"After saying so much, you should know how powerful the Ji Mansion is, right?"
"Yes, it's that amazing!"
"Our Xiao'e married into this Ji Mansion!"
"Now, these days, she eats delicious food, drinks spicy drinks, and the Third Young Master especially dotes on her!"
"Luckily, your Junze didn't marry Xiao'e back then. Otherwise, our Xiao'e wouldn't have had this opportunity. Now, Xiao'e has given birth to two sons for the Ji family, and she's even more favored. Our future will only be better!"
"Look, your Junze didn't marry our Xiao'e. Our Xiao'e married a better family, but your Junze never met a girl better than our Xiao'e. So, that's why he hasn't married for so long, right?"
"Oh my, Cai Liu, you shouldn't have opposed this marriage between our two families in the first place."
"Now, do you regret it?"
"What a pity! It's too late to regret now!"
"Our Xiao'e is already married. It's impossible for her to marry Cai Junze."
"Even if Cai Junze misses our Xiao'e day and night, it's useless. He can only continue to regret."
"But I'm also quite fortunate. I'm fortunate that you opposed this marriage between our two families. Otherwise, if Xiao'e had married your son, her life would definitely not be as good as it is now. She would have to live with your family, in a shabby house like this, wearing clothes only worn by country people, drinking bad tea, eating ordinary rice, and even wearing ordinary jewelry... Fortunately, I am so fortunate!"
As she spoke, Yuan's mother laughed.
Feeling a little thirsty, he picked up the cup of tea that Liu Shulin had just poured for him, took a sip, and then...
Puff!
Spit it out!
Said: "It tastes terrible!"
“It’s so hard to drink!”
"Ms. Cai Liu, cheap tea is just like this, it's so unpalatable, yet you still drink it with gusto! It seems you've never tasted good tea! When will I bring some good tea over and sell some to you? Then you can taste it and experience what good tea is!"
"Oh, your tea is really unpalatable. I have never tasted anything so unpalatable."
Chunjiang tea is certainly not difficult to drink.
She obviously did it on purpose.
Want to disgust Liu Shulin.
It made Liu Shulin uncomfortable.
Liu Shulin looked at her like she was a fool the whole time. She was completely unmoved by what she said. She smiled faintly and said, "Mother Yuan, isn't it like this in the countryside? Simple food and simple drinks. As long as you feel happy and joyful, then no matter what kind of tea you drink, what kind of food you eat, what kind of clothes you wear, or what kind of house you live in, I think it's all a good life."
Seeing that Liu Shulin was never insulted by her and the expression she wanted to see did not appear on her face, Yuan's mother was very unhappy!
After all, she came here to harm Liu Shulin.
As a result, the other person didn't take what she said seriously at all and still kept smiling. How could that not be infuriating?
It seems like she is just talking to herself when she comes here!
Liu Shulin's expression didn't change much, but her expression changed first.
Seeing the regret appearing on her face, Liu Shulin just chuckled lightly in her heart.
This is a typical case of not angering others but angering yourself instead.
"Ms. Cai Liu, what you said is just deceiving yourself!" Yuan's mother said with an unhappy look on her face.
"Really?" Liu Shulin said calmly, "Why would I deceive myself? I really feel that my life is pretty good now. I don't have to worry about food, drink, and clothing. Besides, I don't have to take care of the store now. I can just sit at home, feed the chickens and ducks, and read books. This life is so comfortable that I can't describe it."
