She stood silently to the side because she also wanted to see Cheng Yue suffer a setback, since Cheng Yue's family was more capable than hers.
How could Wu, a wicked woman who slaughters pigs, marry Cheng Changyou, a scholar! They even have a grandson and are so loving, always seen selling pork together. She had long been disgusted by this!
Now it's even better. Not only is his grandson academically gifted, but his son is also doing well, even starting a business in town. Isn't this a sign of a change in fortune?
The more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.
If I hadn't been a step too late back then, she would have been the one enjoying the good life! How could that wicked woman, Wu, have had any chance?
Looking at Cheng Yue's carload of things and her stupid, worthless daughter, he was even more furious.
Both are mothers, so why can Wu enjoy the same benefits as her maid, but she can't?
"Your Majesty! Please be gentle!"
Cheng Niufen winced in pain, and her hatred for Cheng Yue intensified. If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been humiliated like this in front of the whole village!
How will I ever be able to hold my head up when I go back to my parents' home?
"You've embarrassed your mother! Don't come back to your parents' home if you don't bring any filial piety gifts! You're not treating your brother well now, let's see who will back you up in the future!"
Cheng Niu Fen's mother walked and cursed, kicking Cheng Niu Fen every now and then, who screamed in pain.
Cheng Yue pretended not to see anything, grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the villagers, saying, "Aunties and grandmas, thank you for speaking up for us earlier. Here, have some candy to sweeten your mouths, and we'll head back to our parents' home now!"
Cheng Niu Fen's mother and Qu Qu's mother, Cheng Niu Fen and Qu Qu, truly a mother and daughter destined for each other. Let them figure it out themselves.
She didn't pity Cheng Niu Fen at all. Although she was looked down upon by her patriarchal parents and exploited by her younger brother, it wasn't her fault.
Her parents gave her an unpleasant name, her parents gave her an ugly appearance, and her parents caused her to have a bad life. Yet Cheng Niu Fen is jealous of her and treats her as a rival. He must be out of his mind!
If you're so capable, go and insult your own parents!
"Don't worry, Cheng family girl, with us old women here, we definitely won't let anyone say anything bad about your family!"
"That's right, we don't believe anyone who says that about you, and we'll definitely refute it!"
The villagers were overjoyed to receive the candy; they weren't fools, and they naturally understood the benefits they were getting.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Then thank you all, aunties and grandmas!"
A little candy can win people's hearts—what a profitable deal! My parents live in Qingshan Village, so naturally, the fewer people around, the better; at least they'll be more comfortable.
The villager looked at the candy in his hand and swallowed hard.
Wow! The Cheng family girl is so generous, giving everyone three or five yuan! And they're all colorful, you can tell they weren't cheap!
Everyone scrambled away in unison, quickly taking the food home to share with their children, and not forgetting to speak well of Cheng Yue.
Before long, the news spread throughout the village that the Cheng family elders knew how to teach their children well, saying how sensible they were!
The word spread so widely that even Uncle Cheng the Second and Uncle Cheng the Third felt proud!
The two brothers considered whether to visit Cheng's family to see their eldest niece, but then they remembered that the villagers said Cheng Yue had taken a cartload of good things, and they were afraid that if they went, people would say that they were trying to freeload, so they decided not to go.
They've already separated, so we can't keep getting involved in everything!
My nephews have already used the money they earned to supplement their family's diet with meat several times.
Of course, when Cheng Niufen heard this, she was furious.
What does Cheng Yue mean by this?! Everyone gets a treat for criticizing her; isn't this blatantly telling everyone that she's being targeted?!
You little bitch! Don't let her get a chance!
Cheng Niu Fen's mother was even more unhappy and pinched Cheng Niu Fen hard to vent her anger!
That brat! If she hadn't provoked Cheng Yue, she and her son would have gotten a couple of candies too!
Cheng Yue, who was at the center of public opinion, couldn't be bothered with any of that. She was there to deliver money to her parents, brother, and sister-in-law!
"Aunt, Uncle, Cousin, what brings you all here!"
The brothers Cheng Jun and Cheng Feng had just returned from the fields when they bumped into each other at their doorstep and excitedly called out to each other.
When Cheng Jun returned home, he was already full of questions about Cheng Yue's shop. When he got home, he heard his parents say that he had set up a stall and told him to study hard and that he wouldn't be short of money. He was almost overwhelmed.
His family explained the situation to him, and his admiration for Cheng Yue immediately soared!
Cheng Yue greeted him with a smile and replied simply, "Of course it's good news, we'll talk about it when we get home!"
Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu, who were busy in the yard, heard the noise and rushed out, saying happily, "I was wondering why it was so lively. It turns out it's you two, my daughter!"
Usually, my daughter and her husband would only exchange a few words with me when they went to buy meat; we never had a proper time to spend together.
Their daughter is busy with her business, and they were thinking they could only get together and have a reunion dinner during the wheat harvest. They didn't expect it to happen today.
"Father, Mother!"
"Grandma, Grandpa!"
After Cheng Yue and the other two greeted them, Wu Shi responded and then asked, "Where are the two girls? Why didn't they come with you?"
Cheng Yue explained, "Now that we have enough staff at the shop, those two girls aren't with us anymore; they stay home and help feed the chickens."
The main problem is that I'm exhausted from following around every day. Since we have plenty of manpower, I might as well stay home and rest.
Liu and Cheng Yang, who were frying the braising sauce in the kitchen, also heard the commotion. Cheng Yang put down the firewood he was holding and rushed out, shouting, "Little sister! Brother-in-law, Xiao Lin!"
Liu, who was busy in the kitchen and couldn't leave: "..."
Mr. Cheng exclaimed in alarm, "Why did you run out? Can your wife handle this all by herself?"
Cheng Yang's lips twitched slightly. "Little sister, you two talk first, we'll be done in a bit!"
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Okay, big brother, go ahead."
Then he added, "Xiao Lin, Xiao Jun, Xiao Feng, you guys unload the things from the car."
Chen An was about to take over when Cheng Jun quickly stopped him, saying, "Uncle, you should rest. We can handle this."
My uncle's leg is still injured, so how could I ask him to move anything? He gets up and works as soon as he gets home; he's not some pampered scholar.
Only then did Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Wu notice the cart full of things. They wanted to scold them, but they held back. They would accept what their daughter had given them; they couldn't spoil the mood again.
This shows that the daughter is promising, and the son-in-law doesn't stop her anyway!
He said happily, "Let the young men carry it!"
Mr. Cheng hurriedly arranged the stools and poured tea, saying, "Daughter, quickly help your son-in-law sit down!"
Wu: You old geezer, you really know how to be obsequious!
Chen An felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't resist his father-in-law's enthusiasm. As the son-in-law, he was being served tea and water by his father-in-law.
Cheng Yue didn't seem to care much. After pulling him to sit down, Madam Wu asked again, "Daughter, what brings you here?"
Even if she hadn't overheard her daughter's conversation with her two grandsons, she knew something must have happened, and it must be something good.
It's because my daughter only comes to visit when there's something good going on!
Mr. Cheng leaned closer, his eyes full of anticipation, and asked, "Yes, daughter, what's wrong?"
