Sun Meihua was so angry that she muttered, "No matter whose family they go to, they are all from my belly. I just want to say something, but it's not enough. Besides, I, as their mother, don't worry about it, and I don't see anyone else arranging it!"
This was obviously a complaint against Yang Lihua, and he was angry that she did not arrange a husband for Chunhong and Erya.
The women were so angry that they almost wanted to hit someone!
Third Aunt threw away the vegetable leaves in her hand and started cursing.
"If you can speak human language, then say a few more words. If you can't, then shut your stinky mouth! Now I know that you are Chunhong and Erya's biological mother, why didn't you think of it when you sold them!
"You're still feeling sorry for the ones you brought out of your belly. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning? You're being mean to those two kids. They're already in their teens but they're still as skinny as they were at seven or eight. How are they going to get married when their periods haven't come yet?
"You just want to sell your daughter again and collect a betrothal gift. Stop flattering yourself, you heartless bastard!"
The other women also talked a lot, wishing they could eat Sun Meihua.
"That's right, mothers like you are rare in this world!"
"Yes, Chunhong and Erya must have done something sinful in their previous lives, which is why they were reborn into your belly!"
"Put away your little thoughts now! If you dare to cause trouble in front of my sister-in-law, she's educated and won't bother with you. But we're not like that. We'll each scratch you into strips!"
"Get lost! Stop disgusting us here! Every time I see you, I want to scold you!"
I have to say that the woman's fighting ability was top-notch. She scolded Sun Meihua so much that her face turned red and she almost cried.
She couldn't sit still, so she turned around and ran home.
"Bah! What a piece of crap, causing trouble every day!" Aunt Tai San spat on the ground and warned everyone, "From now on, keep an eye on this unlucky woman and don't let her get into any trouble. She has no shame, but our Tai family still needs her!"
"Don't worry, Third Auntie, we sleep with one eye open!"
"Yes, we are living a good life. If she dares to cause trouble, I will be the first to stop her. My daughter is still working hard to make money and save for her dowry. If she dares to ruin the reputation of the village and delay her from marrying into a good family, I will fight her to the death!"
The women talked at once, and soon they started talking about Sun Meihua and the future of their daughters. They couldn't help but look forward to the future.
Aunt Tai San found an opportunity to go to Tai's house and told Yang Lihua what had just happened.
She didn't want Yang Lihua to know how to deal with Sun Meihua, but she wanted Yang Lihua to be aware of the situation so that she could be prepared in case Sun Meihua plotted against her.
Coincidentally, Chunhong and Erya were also nearby. When they heard that their mother wanted to sell them again, they became angry and sad, and their eyes turned red.
Yang Lihua patted their backs and comforted them, "Don't worry, you've signed a death contract. Even if the emperor comes, he'll have to ask me before deciding what to do with you, let alone Sun Meihuaer. Just stay home and live like usual."
"Thank you, aunt!" The two girls felt relieved, bowed and thanked together, and then went down to work.
Aunt Tai San couldn't help but sigh. For others, the death contract would be a fatal rope around Shuanzi's neck, but for Chunhong and Erya, it was the life-saving rope that pulled them out of hell!
After chatting for a few more words, Yang Lihua picked up two rice dumplings for her third aunt and sent her home.
Third aunt's daughter-in-law likes to eat rice dumplings. She is breastfeeding her baby now. If she eats well, the baby will naturally be well too.
Zhuzhu came from the backyard with sesame balls. When she saw the rice dumplings, she also made a fuss and asked for one. The child and the dog sat on the doorstep and shared the meal. It was a very harmonious scene.
Yang Lihua was worried that her daughter would have indigestion if she ate too much, so she felt relieved when she saw this.
Before she could go to the backyard to busy herself, a carriage stopped in front of the door.
It turns out that Tai Yongning and Tai Yongfeng are back!
Yang Lihua was shocked. She didn't know if something happened to her son. Otherwise, why did he come back after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday?
But Zhuzhu didn't care about that. She just swung her chubby legs and ran over.
“Second brother, second brother!”
Tai Yongning bent down, picked up his sister, and walked into the yard with a smile. There was no trace of injury on his feet anymore.
Perhaps sensing the apprehension and worry on his mother's face, Tai Yongning immediately said, "Mother, the teacher wants us to take the Tongsheng exam! The teacher will take us to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. I came back to get some money, clothes, and other daily necessities."
Taking the Tongsheng exam?!
Yang Lihua was very surprised and asked, "Didn't you say last time you came back that you would have to wait a few days? How come you're here earlier?"
"The teacher has classmates in the capital. He received a letter and plans to take us there first to adapt, participate in some poetry gatherings to broaden our horizons, and then take the exam. It will take about a month in total!"
Tai Yongning was also very excited. What young man doesn't like to go out and see the world?
He had a leg injury before, so it would be better if he didn't go out to study or take exams and didn't become a burden to the family.
Now that my wish has come true, all my accumulated hopes have burst forth.
Zhuzhu was happy for her brother. She hugged his neck and twisted around, shouting happily, "Brother, bring Zhuzhu some delicious food! And some fun things!"
"Okay, second brother will definitely bring a lot of good things to Zhuzhu!" Tai Yongning rubbed his sister's hair, but the fat girl pushed his palm and rubbed it for a long time.
The fat girl's big eyes sparkled, and she declared in a baby voice, "Zhuzhu, give all the good luck to your brother. May your brother be the top scorer in the imperial examination!"
Tai Yongning couldn't help laughing. He didn't explain to his sister how far away it was from being a student to being the top scholar. Instead, he joined in and shouted, "Okay, I'll help you get the top scholar!"
Yang Lihua looked at her son and then at her daughter, and her heart was filled with immense happiness.
People will experience three levels of poverty and three levels of richness until they grow old.
Nothing else matters. The best thing is that the whole family is safe and healthy, and the children have a bright future!
At this time, the old man and Tai Jizu also rushed back from the fields.
When they heard that Yongning was going to the provincial capital to take the examination for the status of a student, they were very excited.
The old man asked his daughter-in-law to bring more money for his grandson, and Tai Jizu was even tempted to escort his son out.
In the end, it was Tai Yongning who stopped them. This time, the Wu family happened to have a convoy heading south, so they didn't have to worry about safety issues if they traveled together.
When Tai Jizong and Liu Dongniang heard that Yongning was going out, the couple also became busy.
Tai Jizong worked hard to make a book box for his nephew, which was rainproof and convenient for storing books, clothes, etc.
Liu Dongniang went into the kitchen and boiled a pot of meat sauce, which was delicious when eaten with steamed buns, porridge or noodles on the road.
The next morning, Tai Yongfeng also arrived excitedly with a package on his back.
The two brothers returned to the city under everyone's instructions and were about to embark on a journey south.
As the carriage drove away, everyone was reluctant to go back, missing their children and filled with hope...
When night fell, every household stopped their busy work and the repair work on the ancestral hall also stopped.
Tai Jizu carried the food on his shoulder and brought He Shan with him when he came back.
He Shan got straight to the point and said to the old man, "Uncle Tai, there have been strangers poking their heads around the village these past two days. I'm afraid trouble is coming!"
