Ning Yue's heart clenched.
She must have said something when she was out of her mind.
She looked at Madam Gu and called out softly, "Mother!"
Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face.
"Mother, I was being controlled by her and that's why I was talking nonsense. Don't you know what kind of person I am?"
Madam Gu was soft-hearted after all, so she didn't say anything and just kept crying.
The second son's wife pouted and ran into Ning Yue's room. She came out a short while later, carrying a cloth bag.
“Mother, don’t be fooled by her anymore. Look, we really found fifty taels of silver in a hole at the foot of her bed. My sister-in-law and I don’t even have that much combined. What she said is all true.”
The eldest son's wife was not good with words, but she was getting anxious. "Mother, look at her. She looks decent enough, but I didn't expect her to be so cunning. Even if my second son's wife and I combined our cunning, we still couldn't outsmart her. How can she be the third son's wife?"
"The third son's wife is no good. She's possessed by a ghost. What if she turns into a ghost one day too..."
Ning Yue looked at everyone and felt a chill in her heart.
She was a time traveler, but she was wholeheartedly devoted to her family and wanted to lead them to prosperity through hard work.
Her future family was not wealthy either. She was a child who grew up in the countryside. She was hardworking and willing to endure hardship. She did not look down on the Meng family for being poor. For Meng Zhuo, she was willing to suffer with him.
Back when Lan Qinyu was causing trouble for everyone, didn't they also curse her? She was bold enough to take action, so why did she get this result?
Her kind heart ultimately failed to warm their hearts!
She remained expressionless, her eyes sweeping over the crowd. She had actually witnessed human nature long ago, and should have understood it long ago.
“Mother, since I came to this family, I have helped you solve every problem you have encountered. When you said you didn’t have money, I tried every means to get it. Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, before I came to this family, you couldn’t afford a new piece of clothing all year round. Now, I buy you new clothes every season. I may have let down Ning Yue and Lan Qinyu, but tell me honestly, have I ever let you down?”
Everyone fell silent!
Regardless of whether Ning Yue was greedy for money or not, her ability to earn money was undeniable. In less than a year, she earned more money than they could have earned in the previous five or ten years, transforming the Meng family from the poorest to the richest in the village.
Logically speaking, we have indeed done right by them.
Meng Qingshan's eyes turned cold.
"Bah! Our Meng family would rather be poor and honest than rich and heartless. I don't blame you for taking Ning Yue's body, but you shouldn't have harmed the Lan family. Lan Zichang is a good man. During the famine, it was Lan Zichang who shared some food with me, and that's how I survived. If it weren't for the Lan family, there would be no Meng family today. I would never be able to face anyone again."
Ning Yue didn't say anything more. So that's how it is.
In rural areas, almost every household has some form of in-law relationship, and she still didn't quite understand.
Her gaze swept towards Meng Zhuo. "Brother Zhuo, what about you? I don't care what they say, but what about you?"
Meng Zhuo looked up at Ning Yue, then at Meng Changqing.
He stepped out from behind Meng Changqing, walked towards Ning Yue, took her hand, and whispered, "Let's go!"
Ning Yue burst into tears of joy, "Brother Zhuo!"
