Chapter 170 I just want a place to stay
When Mrs. Wu brought her maid Qiu Ling to the Magnolia Pavilion, she heard Xu Yunyue's furious voice beating and scolding the maid inside.
"Get out of here, it's all your fault that you, a slut, didn't protect me today and caused me to be blamed by the master."
"You are all bitches, each and every one of you is a useless piece of shit"
Madam Wu: "Auntie Yue, why are you so angry? Be careful not to get sick. You are the most precious member of the Wu family now."
Then he waved his hand to the maid whose face was swollen from the beating: "Alright, you can go down! I will sit with Aunt Yue for a while."
Xu Yunyue was half leaning on the chair. When she saw Mrs. Wu coming over, she didn't even stand up to greet her. She even rolled her eyes at her angrily.
"Madam, what can I do for you? No, I need to rest."
Mrs. Wu didn't get angry when she heard this. She went over to the table, poured herself a cup of tea and started drinking it.
Putting down the cup, she said, "What else can I do? Didn't I hear that something happened to you today? As the mistress of the Wu family, it's not wrong for me to come and show some concern, right?"
Then he waved his hand to signal Qiu Ping to present the supplements: "Aunt Yue, this box is of the best quality Ganoderma lucidum. I can't bear to eat it myself. Now you are pregnant with the hope of the Wu family, so it is natural for you to eat it."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyue looked at Madam Wu and said, "Now the master is just doting on me, aren't you angry?"
Mrs. Wu's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she immediately put on a sad face, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears: "Aunt Yue, let me tell you the truth! It's impossible for me to say that I'm not jealous of you. I'm also a woman, and I also want to be pampered."
"But think about it, even if the master doesn't have you, there will be someone else. I am old and ugly, and I don't have any children. Instead of letting other women come and snatch the master away, I might as well accept you openly."
"Alas, the child in your belly will have to call me his legal mother, Aunt Yue. I have lived for most of my life, and I don't know how long the rest of my life will last."
"I don't have any children to inherit the Wu family, so I am not a threat to you. I just hope that after you and your son support the Wu family in the future, I can have a place to stay and spend my old age in peace and stability. That's all I ask!"
Xu Yunyue was moved when she heard Mrs. Wu's heartfelt words.
Mrs. Wu glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and seeing that she was moved, she then dropped a bombshell: "Auntie Yue, as long as you promise me that on the day you give birth, I will agree to what the master said before, which is to make you a co-wife."
"What? Really?" Upon hearing this, Xu Yunyue jumped up from the stool, completely unable to remain calm!
"How can I coax you about this? After all, I am the mistress of the Wu family. How can I go back on my word? So! Take good care of yourself in the next few months. Don't be stingy with supplements. If it's not enough, I will give you some in private."
Hearing this, Xu Yunyue touched her stomach and said, "But... I was at the clinic today, and the doctor told me to eat less, saying..."
Madam Wu interrupted quickly, "Do you believe in doctors outside? The doctor in our mansion used to be an imperial physician. Think about it, which family doesn't want to give birth to a chubby son?"
When Xu Yunyue heard this, it seemed to be true. Her younger brother Jinbao was white and chubby when he was born. Her parents and grandparents were so happy that they kept nagging about their fat son and fat grandson every day. She could only rank behind them.
"Well, that's enough. I won't disturb your rest. Oh, you have to drink the ginseng soup before going to bed. I'll tell you secretly that it has the effect of nourishing the skin. You don't want to become ugly after giving birth to a son, do you?"
Hearing this, Xu Yunyue imagined that she had lost the master's favor because of her ugliness, and she was so scared that she shook her head frantically: "No, I want to stay young forever"
Mrs. Wu realized that she had achieved her goal, so she said goodbye and left. When she walked out of the Magnolia Pavilion, her demeanor had completely changed. Her eyes were filled with ruthlessness, but she also felt a slight sense of satisfaction at the impending success of her plan.
Humph, Xu Yunyue, you would never have thought that from the moment you seduced the master, I, Yu Fangzhi, have paved every step for you, hoping that you...really give birth to a fat son! !
When he was about to return to the courtyard, he paused, approached Qiu Ping and whispered, "Spread the news that the master dotes on Aunt Yue. The more exaggerated the better. Say that he dotes on her so much that even I, the mistress of the house, can only be humble and fawn in front of Aunt Yue."
Qiu Ping nodded when she heard this. Although she didn't know why the lady did this or what her intention was, she knew it would definitely not be that simple.
Xu Zhiyi followed his family to the fields in the afternoon. He walked around the ridges of his own fields carrying a hoe and found that the ridges had been dug again.
"Mom, what happened to our field ridge?"
Su heard this and sighed, "Alas, it's the family who owns the field above. I guess they dig towards our side every time they weed. It's getting harder and harder to stop them, and there's no way to prove where their ridges were originally."
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi swung his hoe and found the big rock he had buried in a few strokes. He then used the big rock as a boundary and re-established the ridge of the field, not letting them take advantage of him at all.
Su looked at the field and saw a big stone buried under it: "Zhiyi, did you bury this stone?"
"Yes! Manman and I buried the stones when we came to look at the fields on the first day. Mom, what are Uncle Lin and his family planning to plant in their fields? Or are they going to leave them empty for a few months and wait until the end of March next year to plant rice?"
Su: "I don't know. Your aunt Hu told me that day. Let's wait and see."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi said nothing more. He used the four months of empty fields to grow vegetables. It was easy to grow vegetables, but he didn't know how they would sell. So, it was better not to drag others into something that he was not sure of!
Everyone worked together and finally finished planting the land. When they returned to the foot of the mountain, they went up the mountain together to chop some firewood. Xu Zhiyi also took the opportunity to get purslane, shepherd's purse, and black fungus from the space.
We walked to the bamboo forest on the mountainside and saw some winter bamboo shoots. We dug up more than twenty of them.
It was almost evening when everyone started carrying a large bundle of firewood back home.
Everyone had just returned home and hadn't even sat down when a family from the village came to their door in anger.
"Did you dig up the ridges today? You dug into my field, you have to change it back tomorrow!"
"What do you mean by wait until tomorrow? It's not even dark yet. You have to go and change it back now. How can my land be occupied like this?"
Su: "How can you confuse right and wrong? It was your family that occupied my field ridge first, and we are just restoring it to its original state now. How can you say you occupied it first?"
"We have never taken advantage of it. Don't tarnish our reputation. We are not that kind of people."
Xu Zhiyi: "Are you sure? What if it was taken? How are you going to compensate?"
