Chapter Sixty-Nine: Su Yindi Fights
Zhu Qiancheng hummed a little tune as he dragged the chicken coop home.
It just so happens that Zhu Qiancheng and the Jiang family are located opposite each other in the east and west. Because of this move, many villagers witnessed the village chief leading the way in buying chickens, and in considerable quantities.
As the saying goes, money should be spent wisely.
The group decided to reconsider and see how things were going with the Jiang family and the village chief's family.
After the fence was built, Jiang Yan took a hoe and went to work in the sweet potato field; Jiang Mi locked herself in her room.
Looking at the closed door and then at her handling household chores under the scorching sun, Su Yindi felt very annoyed. She complained to Liang Lan beside her, "Second sister-in-law, look at Jiang Mi. Doesn't her mother-in-law know how to manage her? She should keep her room secluded and mysterious."
While feeding the chickens, Liang Lan glanced in the direction of Jiang Mi's room, then turned to look at Su Yindi's displeased expression. She remained calm and retorted lightly, "Your mother-in-law and brother are happy to spoil your little sister. If you're so capable, go back and get your mother to spoil you too."
Jiang's mother choked on her words, her face turning pale and then flushed, looking quite unwell, and said the same thing again.
Before she could speak, Liang Lan beside her said, "How long have you been behaving yourself? Don't forget what your mother-in-law warned you before. If you make things difficult for your younger sister again, you'll have to go back to your parents' home."
Now Su Yindi had nothing to say and dared not cause any more trouble, for fear that these bad words would reach her mother-in-law's ears.
…
Inside the room, Jiang Mi was carefully studying what other ingredients were needed for the soap when a figure suddenly flashed past the open window.
"Who's there!" Jiang Mi immediately became alert, stood up from her chair, and quickly walked to the window. There was no one outside. She turned her head and muttered, "Could I be imagining things?"
But when she turned her head, she saw a silver note placed by the bedside, along with a note. When she saw the amount on the silver note, Jiang Mi's eyes widened, and her hand holding the silver note trembled uncontrollably.
Ten thousand taels!
She had never seen so much money in her life... no, in both of her lives.
Ten thousand taels! A full ten thousand taels!
What kind of concept is this?
After the initial shock, Jiang Mi quickly calmed down, opened the note in her hand, and saw that the handwriting was vigorous and pleasing to the eye.
"All is well, do not worry."
With just those four words, Jiang Mi was certain of the figure that had flashed past the window just now.
It seems that Huo Ran is now safe and sound, and the worry that had been weighing on my mind has finally been put to rest.
But soon, Jiang Mi's thoughts became serious again.
While having money is good, such a large sum in this remote place is likely to attract attention; it might even arouse jealousy and envy, potentially leading to death or other serious consequences.
She dared not think any further and had to think carefully about how to hide this thing.
She will return the ten thousand taels to Huo Ran next time, after all, she cannot accept such a great favor.
The host can store it in the system repository.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi frowned slightly and asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
[The system warehouse is currently only one square meter, which is insufficient to store large items; the host needs to continue their efforts to correct the female value and expand the system warehouse.]
They claimed it was because they didn't have enough permissions or enough space; they couldn't place large items, which is why they didn't send a notification.
The system can only store still images.
Jiang Mi was speechless after being spoken to, so she simply chose to avoid seeing him, placed the silver notes in the system warehouse, and continued to develop the soap in her hand.
In order to better develop soap, a small amount of soap-making materials have been collected. For now, we will only make a simple soap. The scented soap is a bit more complicated and we need to experiment slowly.
Looking at the disintegrated and greasy failed products in front of her, Jiang Mi looked frustrated.
She clearly followed every step of the instructions strictly, so why did she end up looking like this?
[Host, don't be discouraged. Not everyone is gifted.]
The system comforted Jiang Mi, making her feel a little better. But then she realized something was off about what it was saying.
Suddenly, Jiang Mi's face darkened; the system was indirectly calling her stupid.
But remembering how stingy and petty the system was, Jiang Mi couldn't be bothered to argue; she was going to be the one who suffered anyway.
As evening approached, the setting sun slowly painted half the sky red.
Hongyang Village was peaceful and quiet until a series of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the Jiang family's home.
The people sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air saw a villager come running up, panting heavily, and after a while he said, "Something bad has happened! Your second daughter-in-law is fighting with the people from Qingyun Village."
Upon hearing this, Mother Jiang was so startled that she stood up from her chair: "Is this really true?"
"Of course! Your second daughter-in-law really fought fiercely, going back and forth with that shrew."
Seeing this, Su Yindi was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.
Forget about enjoying the cool shade, they quickly got up and ran towards the scene of the incident.
When Jiang Mi and the others arrived, the village entrance was surrounded by people, and the air was filled with curses.
"You slut, how dare you seduce the man I've set my sights on? You're courting death."
"Pah, you shameless little slut! You're an old widow, yet you dare to lay your hands on the young men of our Hongyang Village! You're really an old cow eating young grass, so shameless!" Su Yindi grabbed the woman's hair and tore it violently, cursing rudely.
"You little slut, you're still causing trouble in Qingyun Village, and now you're still up to no good in Hongyang Village. I bet the village chief of Hongyang Village will kick you out sooner or later!"
"You shameless, filthy widow, you barren old hen, always dressed up so extravagantly, aren't you ashamed at your age!"
…
The two were arguing fiercely and couldn't be pulled back.
"Su Yindi!"
Su Yindi, who was arguing with someone, suddenly froze. Why did she hear her mother-in-law's voice?
Stiffly turning her head, Su Yindi saw her mother-in-law standing in front of her with an angry look on her face. She immediately cowered and quickly let go of Widow Chen.
Upon seeing this, Widow Chen immediately became agitated and pointed at Su Yindi, launching into a tirade: "Aunt Jiang, you've been eyeing your second daughter-in-law. She's already married, yet you're still flirting with other men."
Snap—
Jiang's mother wouldn't listen to what Widow Chen was saying. She immediately rushed over and slapped her: "I'm not dead yet, it's not your place to bully my Jiang family. Instead of criticizing others, look at yourself. You're in your thirties or forties, dressed like a butterfly. Don't you know how your flamboyant attire matches your old and faded face? You're shameless."
Jiang's mother was aggressive and her verbal skills far surpassed those of Widow Chen and the others.
As a result, Widow Chen was immediately rendered speechless, unable to utter a single word, as Mother Jiang had laid everything bare, leaving him no room for maneuver.
Seeing that someone was backing her up, Su Yindi felt emboldened and put her hands on her hips, spitting out, "My husband is handsome and dashing. Do you think I'm out of my mind to think about seducing other people? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
