Wu Min walked up to Jiang Yang and Mei Xiangcao and said to her, "So he's your son. I was going to warn him, but since he's your son, I'm telling you, don't let him come to our house again to avoid bringing shame to our family. And you, I don't want your sachet anymore."
Mei Xiangcao was still wondering why she suddenly became so rude.
However, this woman spoke harshly about her son, and she would not give in to her.
"How did our Jiang Yang offend you? I won't go to your house. Do you think your house is a golden nest? Who cares about it? Don't say you don't want to buy my sachet. Even if you want to buy it, I won't sell it to you."
"Then you should take good care of your son. He's a farmer from the countryside, and his jobs are all low-class. He's shoveling manure, cleaning toilets, digging sewers. Everything stinks. He'll make our house dirty if he comes to visit. You two are the same. I don't want your perfume bag, no matter how good it is. Maybe it's already as stinky as him, so how can it smell good?"
Mei Xiangcao thought she was unreasonable. She had never seen such a condescending and foul-mouthed city person.
"You think you are so noble and you want to buy my sachet. You are not worthy of it at all. I would rather throw it into a dunghill than sell it to you. I am afraid that you will dirty and stink it up by wearing it."
"Then you can keep it for yourself. I wouldn't even want your sachet for free."
To prevent them from arguing further, Jiang Yang said to Wu Min, "Don't worry. Even if your family invites me, I won't go. But please don't insult us farmers. We farmers are no worse than you, and you are not superior to us. Besides, the way you are now only makes me feel that you are lowly."
"You're the lowly one." Wu Min said disdainfully, "That's just what you think. You're trying to gain some dignity for yourselves."
Fang Suyun drove her out, "Alright, alright, you are so noble, we can't accommodate a big Buddha like you here, go to the temple."
She pushed Wu Min out of the door. Wu Min snorted and didn't say anything to Fang Suyun. Instead, he turned and walked away.
At home, after scolding Wu Min, Mei Xiangcao asked about Jiang Yang's visit to the Jiang family.
"When did you go to her house? Look at her, she acts like her house is a nest of gold and silver, like the emperor's golden palace. I've never seen a city person as good at pretending as she is."
Jiang Yang said, "Jiang Yiming, who used to work with me, is her son. I went to her house as a guest the other day and was seen by her and her daughter. They look down on people in our profession. They even look down on Jiang Yiming. They chased me away and told me not to go to their house again. She is a snobbish woman. Let's just ignore her and treat what she says as bullshit."
He suddenly felt that the father was even worse, and was exactly the same as Wu Min.
Mei Xiangcao was not discouraged. "People like her are only a minority. There are always some weirdos everywhere."
She had seen many strange people in the village before. Those people in the countryside still looked down on others by relying on their power. Although the region is different, there are strange people in every corner, and this situation will not change.
"That kid who took you to find a job before. What kind of person is he?"
He felt that the child would not despise Jiang Yang's background, otherwise he would not have taken Jiang Yang with him to find a job.
"Mom, he's okay. His mom and sister are the only ones in his family who look down on people. And his dad, he looks nice, but actually..." He's a heartless man.
"But what actually happened?"
Mei Xiangcao asked again when she saw that he hadn't finished speaking.
"nothing."
Jiang Yang just mentioned Jiang Dongcheng, so he should not mention that person in front of his mother.
But Mei Xiangcao became more and more curious: "What happened? Did his father also verbally insult you? Is he even more hateful than his mother and sister? Some people are like smiling tigers, like to smile but hide a knife, saying one thing and doing another behind the scenes."
Jiang Yang wanted to ask his mother, in his mother's heart, is his father such a person?
"Mom, is my dad like that too? A two-faced person who says one thing and does another?"
"Ah?!" Mei Xiangcao was surprised for a moment: "Son, why did you mention your father? Didn't you say you wouldn't mention him anymore? And why do you think he's a hypocrite?"
"Because I don't know him and I'm curious about what kind of person he is, so I wanted to ask."
"Your father is a very upright person. He would never be two-faced." With other people around, she couldn't say too much. "He's dead anyway, why mention him? From now on, except for the Qingming Festival, let's not mention him anymore."
Mei Xiangcao finally realized, "You're not going to work because of what this woman said about you, right?" Fearing that Jiang Yang might misunderstand, she quickly said, "Mom doesn't mean anything else. I don't want you to go back to work. I'm just asking."
Jiang Yang looked at her. He didn't go to work not because of Wu Min and Jiang Yushan, but because of that father.
But he couldn't tell his mother, so he said, "Mom, I've been working these days, and the work is quite heavy. I feel tired. I want to rest for a few days before going."
Mei Xiangcao gently stroked his shoulder: "You're really tired from working these days. If you want to rest, just take a break. Don't force yourself. If you want to eat something, mom will make it for you."
"I don't have anything special I want to eat, just any normal meal will do."
If you don’t work, how can you eat good food?
"Why don't we just make dumplings? I'll go talk to your sister-in-law and the others."
"good."
It seemed that the news about making dumplings quickly dispelled the gloom in Jiang Yang's heart.
People in the courtyard usually think about food when they are free, especially Xu Nuannuan. Now she can't do any work, and all she has to do is eat except strolling around.
When Mei Xiangcao suggested making dumplings, she was the first to agree. The family quickly took action. Some bought meat, some chopped the stuffing, and some kneaded the dough and peeled onions and garlic. In just over an hour, the steaming dumplings were out of the pot.

After Wu Min returned home, she started complaining to Jiang Dongcheng.
"Dongcheng, I went to Grandpa Guan's granddaughter's house today to buy some sachets. They said the sachets were made by her mother-in-law. Guess who I saw? I actually saw that bastard Yiming brought home, and the one who made the sachets was his mother. Seriously, a stinking sewer guy, his mother actually sold sachets. I'm not buying that sachet.
Humph, I just found out that Comrade Xu's in-laws are from the countryside. She actually looked down on our Yiming at the beginning. I don't know what her vision was, but she fell in love with a country bumpkin."
