Chapter 043: Wen Yan, I'm protecting you
There was a tarpaulin on the floor.
The guards took the things off the carriage one by one and placed them on the oilcloth.
Ten bags of polished rice.
Ten bags of fine flour.
Two pigs and two sheep were slaughtered.
One pair of chickens, ducks and geese.
Ten pieces of silk and satin.
Ten pieces each of gold, silver, jade and pearl jewelry.
A pair of jade bi.
Finally, they carried out a cage half a person's height.
When the black cloth on the cage was lifted, there was a sika deer inside.
The sika deer was not afraid of people. It called out twice, then tilted its head and looked at the villagers curiously.
Those big, wet eyes can melt people's hearts.
The gold and silver jewelry sparkled in the sun, and the jade disks were as big as mooncakes.
This is not a gift for a friend!
Even when a landlord married his daughter, the dowry was not so luxurious.
Everyone was so shocked that they could fit an egg in their mouths.
They only have envy left, and not even jealousy anymore.
Meng Chifei looked at the expressions of the crowd, took Wen Yan's hand, and announced loudly: "I, Meng Chifei, and Wen Yan are sworn sisters who have lit incense in front of Lord Guan and sworn brotherhood.
We grew up together, she is me and I am her."
The two of them are so close that they are like sisters, even though they are not real sisters.
Meng Chifei likes to wear flashy red, but acts very low-key.
She would never draw attention to herself unless she had to achieve something.
Today she entered the village with great fanfare and showed off her gifts in a high-profile manner, all to give face and support to Wen Yan.
She was telling everyone that even without the Wen family, Wen Yan still had good sisters and the Meng family to protect her, so don't bully her.
Wen Yan's eyes were red. More than a month after her rebirth, for the first time she felt like she had someone to rely on.
Her chest felt like it was filled with a ball of cotton, making her feel uncomfortable.
She didn't know how to express her feelings, so she could only hold Meng Chifei's hand tightly.
Suddenly, someone among the villagers scoffed, "Some people must be regretting it now!"
Everyone looked and saw that the person who spoke was Aunt Li.
"You treat the golden phoenix that fell into your arms as a sparrow and throw it away. Wouldn't you regret it?" Aunt Li glanced at Mrs. Qiao.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Qiao, whose face turned ashen, and immediately burst into laughter.
"Mrs. Qiao, if the family hadn't split up, these gifts would all be yours."
"You said you've been scheming your whole life, but why are you still so short-sighted?
Not only have you split up the family, but your name has even been crossed out from the family tree. So many valuable things have nothing to do with you anymore!"
The villagers didn't care about Mrs. Qiao's face at all and started scolding her directly.
It's because Mrs. Qiao has been so arrogant and looked down on others all these years.
He speaks in sarcastic and cryptic ways.
Except for her sons, no one in the village liked her.
What is there for her to be proud of?
She had married a good daughter-in-law before, and Jiao Liniang supported the whole family by herself.
Jiao Liniang was tortured to death by her, and Ying Zhilin passed the imperial examination and became a scholar again.
Everyone saw that Ying Xiucai was failing, so he married the daughter of an official in the capital as his granddaughter-in-law.
Everyone is saying that God is blind.
It actually made Mrs. Qiao always have good luck.
I didn't expect retribution to come so quickly.
Mrs. Qiao personally drove the God of Wealth out of the house.
In the past, Mrs. Qiao would have thrown a tantrum to get these things home.
But Miss Meng was dressed in luxurious clothes, had a good temperament, and was skilled in martial arts. She must not be a lady from an ordinary family.
With her backing Wen Yan, Mrs. Qiao would definitely not dare to make a fuss.
The villagers were so happy.
One of them couldn't control himself and said what was in his heart.
Mrs. Qiao remained calm despite being ridiculed by everyone: "Broken bones are connected to tendons. What does it have to do with you if our family has a small conflict?"
How much is face worth?
If she really had any shame, she would not have used the second wife's blood to support her entire family all these years.
If her old face could be exchanged for so many treasures, after stepping on her left cheek, she could peel off her right cheek and let everyone step on it.
Meng Chifei was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen anyone shameless to this extent.
She glanced at Mrs. Qiao and clenched her fingers one by one, making a creaking sound.
"You have the guts to covet my sister's things. Do you have the life to take them?"
Mrs. Qiao looked at Meng Chifei's fist and instantly remembered the fear she had just felt when she was dominated by her single hand.
She gritted her teeth, immediately shrank her neck, and dared not make another sound.
Sure enough, those who play with Wen Yan are not good people.
Although Mrs. Qiao was angry, her mind was working very fast.
No matter how powerful this Miss Meng is, can she be as powerful as the third-rank official of the Wen family?
The Wen family still remembers Wen Yan’s grudge!
When the Wen family has time to deal with Wen Yan, how can a young girl like Meng Chifei be able to defeat the Wen family?
She let Wen Yan be proud for a few more days.
After the Wen family dealt with Wen Yan, these things naturally fell into her pocket.
Qiao Dashuang is not as patient as her.
Seeing so many good things about to fly away, she regretted not folding them.
If she had known that Wen Yan had such a wealthy sister, she would have definitely stopped her mother-in-law from dividing the family and severing ties.
At least we should wait until after today before dividing the family.
Qiao Dashuang was so anxious that he scratched his head, wondering how he could get a share of the pie.
"That Miss Meng is so stupid. Wen Yan's reputation is so bad, and she doesn't even realize she's been cheated."
Hu Youzhu suddenly stood behind Qiao Dashuang and said softly.
"If I tell her that Miss Meng is so rich, she might even give me a few taels of silver."
Hu Youzhu pretended to move forward.
Qiao Dashuang shouted in desperation, "Ms. Meng, you've been deceived by Wen Yan. She's a fickle slut with corrupt morals. She's not worthy of being your sworn sister."
After she reminded them, the villagers remembered the recent rumors.
Rumor has it that Wen Yan was being affectionate with a man in public.
You can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. The scholar's wife looks so respectable, but she is so dissolute in private.
The noise of discussion grew louder and louder, and became more and more unbearable to hear.
"You are spreading rumors again!" Meng Chi Feifeng glared.
Qiao Dashuang trembled with fear, but still said: "I didn't spread rumors, everyone in the village knows it! Wen Yan is not a faithful wife.
In broad daylight, she had a tryst with her lover in a tea stall, holding hands and kissing, with half of her clothes taken off.
Miss Meng, you are so beautiful and kind, don't be deceived by her!"
"Wen Yan, tell me yourself, with your character and behavior, how can you be worthy of being Miss Meng's sister!"
Wen Yan and Meng Chifei looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.
It turned out that they mistook Meng Chifei, who was wearing men's clothes that day, for a man.
That's why these misunderstandings occurred.
Meng Chifei was about to explain, but Wen Yan stopped her: "Let me do this kind of thing."
Wen Yan walked up to Qiao Dashuang and looked at her coldly: "Who told you those words just now?"
