Xiuzhi really wanted to stand up and follow her sister-in-law to pack her things, but Zhao Qingshan wouldn't give her the chance, not wanting to upset his wife.
He politely helped his wife up and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll go with Xiaohua to tidy up."
Xiuzhi could hardly hide the jealousy and resentment in her eyes.
In her heart, her sister-in-law was neither kind nor attractive, yet she was fortunate enough to marry into the Zhao family.
In the first few years, although they were not rich, they were not hungry either. Who would have thought that the Zhao family would produce a scholar?
What did I do wrong? I think I'm just as good-looking as my sister-in-law, and I'm also quite eloquent, so how did I end up marrying such a simpleton?
Seeing delicious food, they couldn't move on. Now that they're here, they should at least show their faces.
That's great, now I can't even find an excuse to get closer to someone.
Zhao Changgeng has seen the Liu family members who have been cursed a thousand times, and he is talking to them right now.
Whether it was the change in social status or the oppressive feeling caused by Zhao Changgeng's tall and imposing figure, the Liu father and son kept their heads down and kept picking at their food.
He answers every question concisely and to the point.
Zhao Changgeng, who considered himself to have decent interpersonal skills, was quickly defeated.
Fine, if you like it, then keep eating.
They say three women make a drama, and Wang Caixia's conversations with the Liu family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were incredibly awkward.
This Liu kept asking how the Zhao family made their fortune.
When asked questions like "What kind of business do you do now?" or "How much money can you make?", Wang Caixia always brushed them off.
Granny Liu remained as enthusiastic as ever.
"My dear in-laws, we're really close relatives, we know each other inside and out."
It's been so long since I've visited. Your eldest daughter has grown into such a beautiful young woman.
I wonder if they're engaged yet. My second son isn't engaged at all.
I was thinking, the two kids are about the same age and neither of them is married, so why don't we arrange a marriage between them? What a wonderful thing that would be!
When a girl gets married, the worst thing is marrying into a family whose background you don't know. If she suffers mistreatment, she'll have no one to complain to.
If she were to marry into our family, things would be completely different. I would definitely treat your eldest daughter like your own daughter.
Even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least care about the Buddha. My daughter is still your daughter-in-law.
Just because my daughter is living a comfortable life, I can't be that kind of wicked mother-in-law, can I?
Xiuzhi knows this best. Hehe, mother-in-law, what do you think of this?
If my future mother-in-law doesn't object, I'll send a matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow.
Wang Xiaoxia looked at Granny Liu with a half-smile, inwardly cursing a thousand curses. She thought to herself,
"How dare she say she's as good-looking as my Qingyin? And she dares to say she's not a wicked mother-in-law? Are you kidding me?"
Seeing that Huang remained silent, Liu was not in a hurry to ask.
In her heart, her sons were all perfect, and she would even be happy if they married the daughter of an official.
When the Zhao family marries off their daughter, they must provide a substantial dowry. If the Zhao family does not agree to the marriage, she will spread rumors and ruin their reputation, leaving her with no choice but to marry their son.
It can only be said that blind confidence and underestimating one's opponent can easily lead to failure.
Wang Caixia said,
"My daughter's marriage will be decided by her grandparents. They will definitely choose a young man who is well-educated, from a good family, and of good character."
Pretend I didn't hear what my in-laws just said.
If your in-laws accidentally spread any rumors, don't blame me for not warning them.
"It's fine if you anger me, but if you anger my mother-in-law, we'll see how many hands and feet your Liu family has enough to break."
Wang Caixia spoke the most chilling words in the gentlest tone, a smile playing on her lips.
She looked like a bloodthirsty demon. The Liu family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were speechless, and all they could feel was that Wang Caixia was terrifying.
Is this still the same kind-hearted mother-in-law she knew?
Huang was upstairs dividing the spoils with Zhao Qingyan—no, I mean dividing the accounts.
Although the items were obtained from Zhao Qingyan, she insisted that everyone who saw them should have a share, and that a portion must be given to the public.
In the end, they chose a 50/50 split, and both sides were satisfied.
After putting away the silver notes, the grandmother and grandson linked arms and were about to go downstairs when they heard Granny Liu's boastful words at the top of the stairs.
Huang was so angry that she almost rushed downstairs to hit someone, but Zhao Qingyan stopped her. She was very curious to know how her aunt would handle such a situation.
Will you speak ambiguously out of consideration for others, creating a misconception? That could be a recipe for disaster.
The result satisfied that person; it turned out that his aunt was also a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The grandmother and granddaughter walked down the stairs hand in hand. Mrs. Huang plopped down on the bench in the main seat, and only after her aunt rose to greet her did she sit down again.
Zhao Qingyan then said goodbye and returned to her own small building.
The sisters had already eaten and drunk their fill in Zhao Qingyan's room and were just waiting for her to return so they could make their escape.
Zhao Qingyi was about to go out when she was stopped.
"Big sister, don't rush out. Our family is not what it used to be."
Sigh, it seems that if my older sister doesn't want to get married soon, she should try to appear in public as little as possible in the future.
You're like the flesh of Tang Monk, everyone wants a bite. You know, just now your sister-in-law's own mother actually proposed marriage, wanting to give you to her second son.
Sigh, when it comes to marriage, people always emphasize matching social status and family background.
This kind of matching is not just about money and status, but also about matching on a spiritual level.
Putting everything else aside, my eldest sister is quite a talented woman. She can write and calculate, run a business, cook, do needlework, and fight off hooligans.
This is why the Divine Dragon Kingdom did not allow women to take the imperial examinations; otherwise, the eldest sister would have surely passed and become a scholar.
What an outstanding man he must be to deserve her!
Zhao Qingyi blushed deeply after being praised, and covered her face with her hands.
"Third sister, are you telling the truth? Am I really as outstanding as you say?"
Since you think so highly of me, I must continue to work hard. I will study those Four Books and Five Classics carefully.
Not being able to conduct scientific expeditions does not mean being unable to take them.
Also, starting tomorrow, I need to ask the instructors to increase the difficulty of the morning training sessions.
Oh, I forgot to mention, I sparred with my masters yesterday. I was only slightly weaker than Lü Feng.
Zhao Qingyan recalled who Lü Feng was.
"Holy crap, is that the one with the worst kung fu among the seven?"
After Zhao Qingyan finished speaking, she realized she had misspoke and patted her mouth, saying...
"Sister, don't mind me. When I say they're bad, I'm referring to comparisons. In reality, they've all made progress."
If you're only slightly weaker than him, it means your recent training has been quite effective. Taking down a few ordinary people shouldn't be a problem.
Zhao Qingyan's secret to communicating with the women in her family is praise. As long as the praise is appropriate, there is nothing these women cannot do.
Each one is a hidden engine with great potential. You think she has done her best, but in fact she has even more energy.
