Chapter Twenty-Five: Settling in Hongyang Village
Sun Qinwan was enraged and furious, wanting to teach him a lesson, but remembering that the fat man had just fought four strong men single-handedly, she held back.
Is this woman crazy?
She may be a bit arrogant and domineering, but that doesn't mean she's stupid.
She dared to openly provoke and cause trouble in front of everyone. If she doesn't respond well to what she just said, it will surely arouse public outrage. Secondly, it will also have a negative impact on her father and affect his promotion.
"Miss Sun's silence doesn't mean she's admitting it, does it?" someone in the crowd asked.
These words, once spoken, acted like a fuse, and the situation quickly spiraled out of control.
“Miss Sun, your father is the county magistrate, a local official, and we respect and honor you. But we ordinary people are also flesh and blood, human beings, not playthings to be trampled on at will.”
“Miss Sun is usually arrogant and domineering, bullying the people. We turn a blind eye to it because your father is the county magistrate. But we never thought that you would treat our lives like dirt.”
…
The people argued vehemently, each offering their own perspective, leaving Sun Qinwan speechless.
Sun Qinwan trembled with rage: "You...you all..."
Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and she glared at everyone with resentment.
Sun Qinwan felt increasingly wronged. She had never suffered such humiliation in her life. Seeing everyone's indifferent expressions, Sun Qinwan stormed out of the room in anger.
"You fat bastard, I'm not finished with you!"
Finally, Sun Qinwan didn't forget to utter some harsh words.
The maid behind him also scrambled away under everyone's watchful eyes.
Seeing the plague gone, the innkeeper rubbed his hands together, looking at the mother and daughter with a worried expression: "Gentlemen, you two have offended Miss Sun today. She will definitely not let this go. You should go back as soon as possible."
Judging from the clothes worn by the mother and daughter, they didn't seem to live in the town.
That's good, no matter how arrogant and domineering Miss Sun is, she can't possibly search the whole world for someone.
Alas, I'm afraid his future days won't be easy.
His family has lived here for generations, making a living by running a small business. But after offending Miss Sun, he might not even be able to afford to eat.
If they want to relocate, that's probably just wishful thinking.
"Yes, you two have made Miss Sun look so bad today, you certainly won't let this go."
"The shopkeeper is right. You two should leave as soon as possible and avoid entering this town for the foreseeable future."
…
The people offered their advice one after another.
As everyone knows, Sun Qinwan is vengeful and holds grudges. If you are targeted by this woman, you can forget about having a peaceful life for the rest of your days.
"Thank you for your kindness, shopkeeper. We'll take all the fabrics we just selected," Jiang's mother replied.
The shopkeeper is right. Miss Sun doesn't seem like a kind person. It's best to leave here as soon as possible.
"Alright!" the shopkeeper greeted with a smile.
Although I've offended Miss Sun, life still goes on.
We can't let life stop just because of Miss Sun, can we?
Jiang Mu bought four bolts of linen and five bolts of coarse cloth.
Since we're already out here, we might as well buy a few more bolts of cloth and make a set of clothes since we're making one anyway.
Afterwards, he generously bought some snacks before getting into Liu Ergou's car.
Seeing her daughter remain silent, Jiang's mother's heart immediately tightened. With a worried expression, she asked, "Honey, are you feeling unwell? Before it gets dark, let me take you to the doctor!"
Ever since leaving the cloth shop, no matter what she asked, he would just answer with a single word: "Okay."
Could it be that Miss Sun provoked him?
But this was quickly denied by Jiang's mother. Although Honey was timid, she wouldn't be so easily frightened by a Miss Sun.
Could it be...?
I remember the last time Honey went berserk, it was because her mother was bullied, which caused her to faint from the outburst.
The same is true now, and thinking of this warmed Jiang's mother's heart.
"I'm fine." Jiang Mi shook her head slightly and explained, "I exerted too much force just now, which made me feel weak all over. Don't worry, Mother."
The side effects began as soon as I left the fabric shop.
Fearing that Miss Sun might turn around and launch a surprise attack, he endured until he boarded the oxcart.
"Okay, if you feel unwell anywhere, be sure to tell your mother."
Seeing Honey looking so weak and listless, Mother Ginger felt a pang of heartache.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have brought honey.
The oxcart bumped and swayed all the way back to Hongyang Village.
…
When the two of them arrived at Hongyang Village, Zhu Qiancheng had already arranged everything.
Because of the size of the Jiang family, a relatively large courtyard was approved, but it has been uninhabited for many years and is somewhat dilapidated.
"Mother, you're back."
The third son's wife, Su Yindi, was tidying up the yard when she looked up and saw Jiang's mother carrying a pile of cloth as she walked in, her face beaming with joy.
Thanks to Jiang Mi, I have new clothes to wear again.
"Hmm." Mother Jiang's attitude towards Su Yindi was indifferent. She handed the cloth to her and said, "After you've repaired the yard, cut the cloth with your second son's wife and make new clothes for your eldest and second sons. When you have time, send some to the second son and third son to town."
Aside from honey and Father Jiang's clothes, which Mother Jiang personally took care of, the three brothers left the rest to their respective wives.
The second and third children are studying in town; I can deliver them to them on my way to town next time I go shopping.
"Okay!" Su Yindi replied excitedly, looking at the coarse cloth in her hand with great joy.
In the village, people rarely have the opportunity to wear new clothes except for major festivals or seasonal changes.
Although I have some complaints about Jiang Mi, I ask you, which rural girl is pampered and cherished from childhood to adulthood?
She rarely even goes into the kitchen, claiming that there are other people in the family to take care of these things, and all she needs to do is make the arrangements.
Jiang Mi was the darling of her family and enjoyed a life that many girls in the village could only dream of, which made her the target of jealousy.
Even she, the second sister-in-law, was dissatisfied with this fat man.
Why should they have to do everything, while this ugly and pathetic fat guy is pampered by Jiang Ren?
But thanks to her, I have new clothes to wear today, and I can barely find her pleasing to the eye.
Because she knew that if it weren't for this fat man, someone as stingy as her mother wouldn't have been so generous as to buy several bolts of cloth.
I was just a little envious of the fat man's clothes made of linen.
I've heard that linen has an excellent feel, is highly breathable, and is very comfortable to the touch.
Oh well, something is better than nothing.
Su Yindi was still somewhat self-aware.
"Honey, you should rest in your room. I'll call you for dinner." Only after confirming that Jiang Mi was alright did Jiang's mother feel at ease, and she didn't forget to remind her before leaving.
"good."
Jiang Mi lay flat on the kang (a heated brick bed), looking up at the roof beams. Suddenly, she noticed that the beams had several large cracks and were in danger of collapsing at any moment.
When she becomes successful, the first thing she will do is renovate the courtyard and give it a brand new look.
The courtyard is quite large, and the expenses were considerable.
Thinking this way, she became even more determined to make money and get rich.
To be fair, this place is better than the one in Qingyun Village.
The system identified the cause of the host's collapse as excessive obesity and insufficient lung capacity.
