Chapter 166 People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat.



Wang Daniu's belly grew bigger, and since she couldn't find a husband for the time being, she set her sights on the powerful Zhao family.

The final decision was that it would be most appropriate for Wang Daniu to marry Zhao Minggeng as his second wife.

As for whether Wang Daniu is virgin or not, we'll find out later with some tricks.

Wang Danu, who was the center of all this manipulation, naturally didn't want to marry anyone else.

She was still thinking about Young Master Xie, and when her parents forced her to stake out Zhao Minggeng every day, she cried with genuine emotion.

After spending some time philandering, Young Master Xie suddenly remembered Wang Daniu's hot figure one day.

As if possessed, he went to find Wang Daniu, and the two of them, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, ended up getting intimate.

It was only because Wang Daniu deliberately revealed a flaw that the villagers discovered her.

Under duress from Zhao Family Village, Young Master Xie carried Wang Daniu into the house.

As a clueless country bumpkin, Wang Daniu was naturally easy for her husband to find fault with.

That's when the incident of Wang Danu being beaten happened.

Having figured out the cause and effect, Wang Danu's lips curled into a cruel smile.

They thought that their daughter marrying into the Xie family would be like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

When Wang Sangui and his wife went to the Xie family to beg for money, Lü Cuiping learned of the gatekeeper's report and called Wang Daniu out to ask her whether she should receive her parents.

Upon hearing that her parents had arrived, Wang Daniu knelt down before Lü Cuiping and recounted her experiences at her parents' home over the years to her mistress.

As for scheming against the young master of the Xie family, he blamed it on Wang Sangui and his wife, saying that he was forced into it and that if he did not comply, he would be sold to a brothel or beaten to death.

Lu Cuiping was born into a wealthy family and never imagined that a poor family could do such a heinous thing.

The resentment that Wang Daniu had felt after marrying into the Xie family was immediately transferred to Wang Sangui and his wife.

"Your background is indeed pitiful, but that doesn't mean I find you pleasing to the eye. Now that you've become a concubine of the Xie family, you will have nothing to do with the Wang family for the rest of your life."

"Your parents are here. Are you going to see them or not?" Lü Cuiping said coldly.

Wang Danu crawled forward two steps on her knees.

“Madam, since marrying into the Xie family, Da Niu has been a member of the Xie family in life and in death. As for my parents, I do not wish to see them again. It is entirely up to you to decide.”

Lü Cuiping grinned.

"Okay, just don't regret it."

"Madam Wu, give the order to have a few servants beat up the Wang couple and drive them away. The Xie family isn't some nobody who can associate with them."

While speaking, he observed Wang Daniu's expression. Seeing that Wang Daniu was not faking it, he let the person go.

Wang Sangui and his wife, who were standing outside the side gate, never expected that not only would they not see their daughter, but they would also be beaten up.

Liu Caoya even had a tooth knocked out because she ran too slowly.

The couple's disheveled appearance upon returning from town was seen by many people in the village.

Zhao Qingyan was quite surprised to hear this sequel.

"Having lost both their wife and their army, is the Wang family done nothing else?"

As a gossip enthusiast, Zhao Qingyi shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know about that. I only heard it from my girlfriends. We don't know what the actual situation is like inside."

"I just find this whole thing disgusting. Wang Sangui's family is so dishonest, sending a girl with questionable credentials to our Zhao family. They're really humiliating us."

Zhao Qingyan's eyes darted around.

"That's normal, since our family is currently living the best life in the whole village."

People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. If a few more scholars come out of our family, you'll see our doorsteps are worn down by the crowds.

From now on, sisters, you must be careful with your words and actions, and don't leave the mountain gate unless absolutely necessary.

It seems we need to have Grandma buy some more maids so they can stay by your side and serve you at all times, lest you fall into someone's trap.

Furthermore, you still need to practice your skills, even if it's just fancy footwork. At least you'll have some agility, so if there's any danger, you can escape faster than others.

I'm not saying this because I hope nothing happens to my sisters, but just in case, it gives us more options to protect ourselves.

The sisters nodded in agreement.

After listening to enough gossip, it was basically lunchtime.

The whole family sat down for a meal in the newly built dining room next to the kitchen.

Master Yunyou remained the guest of honor.

As they ate and drank, their contented manner made Zhao Qingyan's teeth itch with envy. Seeing that Yunyou had drunk enough, she reminded him...

"Master, you still have a class this afternoon. Please drink less first, and I'll treat you to wine tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yunyou quickly put down his wine glass. Although the baijiu tasted good, he still preferred to drink wine.

Zhao Qingyan was thinking to herself, "With you drinking at every meal, don't set a bad example for my brothers."

Sure enough, Yunyou, who hadn't drunk much, gave an excellent lecture in the afternoon, citing classical texts and giving the Zhao family men who attended a refreshing experience.

After Zhao Qianci reported this phenomenon to Zhao Qingyan, Yunyou never drank alcohol during the day again.

Huang finally bought a suitable shop in the county town, and after renovation, opened "Zhao's Snack Shop Branch 1".

The manager of the county was Liu Qing, and the head chefs were Chunru and Lamei.

On the day Zhao's Snack Shop in the county opened, Zhao Jinhua and Zhao Jinzhou, who worked at the county government, attended the opening ceremony.

Later, Magistrate Qiu learned that the Zhao family of Yingyong Village had opened a snack shop in the county, and that the barbecue they sold was exceptionally delicious.

Driven by curiosity, I changed into casual clothes and had a barbecue at Zhao's Snack Shop, after which I couldn't stop eating.

He often brought his wife and children to the restaurant to enjoy the food. Later, Liu Qing took the initiative to prepare a private room for Magistrate Qiu.

The food stalls frequented by the county magistrate must be delicious, and the Zhao family's business is thriving beyond the county.

Furthermore, the Zhao sisters also successfully developed soy sauce and vinegar based on the recipe.

Huang went to Zhao Jinfa's house again to buy land.

When Zhao Jinfeng and his wife heard that the Zhao family was going to open a workshop, they were so excited that their voices almost split.

"Sister-in-law, what did you say? Your family is going to open a workshop. How many people will you need to hire to work there?"

Zhao Jinfa is now able to face his cousin's family's affairs calmly, unlike at the beginning when he was extremely nervous, fearing what would happen if he lost money.

As it turns out, everything my cousin's family has been doing since last year has been successful. The more good fortune my cousin's family has, the more benefits it brings to the Zhao family.

So as soon as Huang opened her mouth, Zhao Jinfa immediately thought about how many people would need to be hired to do the work.

Zhao Family Village has only a little over a thousand people. If a workshop is set up, at least one person from each family can work there.

If each family could earn even three or five hundred coins a month, their lives would be much better.
