Chapter 20 Keep It All for Yourself

The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the angrier she became, and she strode towards Brother Ju.

Seeing Mrs. Wei like this, Ju Ge'er felt a little aggrieved and turned around and ran away.

Mrs. Wei was stunned: "Ju Ge'er!"

She didn't dare to be careless, so she pulled Xingxing and started to chase him. After a long time, she finally caught up with Ju Ge'er and grabbed his arm.

Mrs. Wei was old and was out of breath from running. She only held Ju Ge'er with her hands and was so tired that she couldn't utter a word.

Xingxing was also panting so hard that she collapsed and sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

Ju Ge'er felt a little guilty and was about to say something when Su's mother Su Rou'er, who had discovered that he was missing, happened to come looking for him.

As soon as Su Rouer saw Mrs. Wei grabbing Ju Ge'er's arm, she immediately misunderstood.

I thought it was my mother-in-law who wanted to take Ju Ge'er away by force.

She immediately lost her temper: "What do you mean? Are you trying to steal my son away?!"

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Ju Ge'er away from Mrs. Wei's hands and pulled him behind him.

Su Rouer was confident because she was at her mother's house. In addition, she already had some resentment towards Mrs. Wei, so her attitude was not likely to be good.

Although Su's mother thought that her daughter's attitude was not very good, she changed her mind and realized that her daughter was from the county town, and when she married Yu Sanbao, it was called marrying down!

Even so, the Yu family still dared to treat her daughter badly!

You deserve it now!

So Su's mother said nothing and just stood by and watched.

Mrs. Wei's expression turned cold. She straightened up, took a deep breath, and then said in a cold voice, "I haven't asked you yet. Why did you let Ju Ge'er, a four-year-old child, run to the market alone in such a big crowd? Aren't you afraid that he will be kidnapped?!"

Mrs. Wei spoke in a stern voice. Su Rouer was stunned at first, and then she found it hard to believe!

Shouldn't her mother-in-law beg her to go back? !

How dare you be so cruel to her? !

Su's mother was not very happy: "My dear, what you said is really unpleasant. We can't tie the child to a belt. Isn't it normal for a child to run away to play? Besides, if we found that he was missing, wouldn't we come to look for him immediately?"

Mrs. Wei said coldly: "I would rather say something unpleasant than cry when the child is lost!"

Su's mother glared angrily.

Xingxing hid behind Mrs. Wei, feeling a little scared.

Su Rouer's eyes were sharp, and she saw that the piece of clothing material that Xingxing was wearing was the same one that she had taken from Mrs. Wei and prepared to make clothes for Ju Ge'er.

What’s more, Xingxing was holding a brand new little hair comb in her hand, which was obviously newly bought!

Su Rouer's anger suddenly reached its peak.

"Mom!" Her voice suddenly rose, and she was calling her own mother, "Did you see that? The clothes that girl is wearing are the new clothes that Ju Ge'er hasn't finished yet!"

Su's mother frowned, for she had heard from her daughter that her mother-in-law was extremely partial to a little maid she had adopted and even altered her own grandson's new clothes to give to the little maid!

Now she really saw it!

Su's mother was not very happy: "Mother-in-law, you are going too far! You are not a grandmother like this, taking Ju Ge'er's clothes to subsidize others?!"

Xingxing saw that the focus was on her again, and she felt even more uneasy. She subconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes with her little hand.

Mother Wei sneered, "Mother-in-law, I asked Ju Ge'er about this dress, and he didn't want it. Besides, it was originally my cloth. Since Ju Ge'er didn't want it, what's wrong with me giving it to my granddaughter? What's more, this trivial matter of dressing is my Yu family's business, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with you. You Su family are here to point fingers, what's the matter, or do you want the Qian family to come and interfere in your Su family's affairs?"

Su's mother was sneered.

The Qian family is her daughter-in-law's family, and they are not easy to deal with either, which is very annoying.

Su Rouer called out "Mother" unhappily, but this time she was calling Mother Wei.

Su Rouer hugged Ju Ge'er and pouted, "How can I go back with you when you quarrel with my mother like this?"

"That's right!" Mother Su recovered her breath and nodded. "I'm telling you, mother-in-law, you were really too harsh when you scolded my daughter earlier! And your third son actually wanted to hit my daughter! Are you crazy?! We in the Su family can't swallow this, and we will never let Rou'er go back with you so easily!"

As soon as Mrs. Wei heard this, she knew that Su Rouer and her mother had misunderstood each other.

She chuckled and held Xingxing's hand: "If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Do you think I care? Su Shi can stay with you as long as she wants. You are from the county town, and we are just from the mountains. How can we be worthy of a girl from the county town!"

Mrs. Wei took Xingxing by the arm and turned around and left, walking in a very elegant manner!

Su's mother and Su Rou'er were both dumbfounded!

At noon, Mrs. Wei waited at the gate of the county city and saw Bai Xiaofeng, who was breathing slightly.

Bai Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and she knew at a glance that the needlework had been sold for a good price.

As for how much it sold for, Mrs. Wei didn't intend to ask.

Bai Xiaofeng's eyes fell on the bag of rice in Mrs. Wei's hand, and her eyes lit up. She never expected that her mother actually bought rice.

Bai Xiaofeng was very positive: "Mom, you are too tired to carry this bag of rice. I will help you carry it."

She took the initiative to mention the bag of brown rice.

Mrs. Wei followed Bai Xiaofeng and took it over.

Mrs. Wei didn't ask anything, but Bai Xiaofeng took the initiative to report to Mrs. Wei: "Mother, I brought four pieces of finished embroidery this time, and my sister-in-law gave me three pieces of finished embroidery... But my mother also knows that the price offered by the cloth shop is higher. I sold it for 48 coins, and my sister-in-law only got 30 coins."

Mrs. Wei nodded calmly: "You are good at embroidery, so you deserve to earn more than your sister-in-law."

Bai Xiaofeng was delighted to hear such a compliment from Mrs. Wei, and as usual, she paid out some of the money from the sale to give to her mother-in-law.

But Mrs. Wei glanced at Bai Xiaofeng and said, "Forget it. It's been a tough time for you these days. Just keep them for yourself."

Bai Xiaofeng was stunned. By the time she reacted, her heart was pounding so hard it almost jumped out of her throat!

Mother-in-law...are you asking her to keep them all?!

Is he testing her on purpose, or is he sincere?

Bai Xiaofeng's hands were shaking.

Mrs. Wei glanced at her and frowned slightly: "If you can't carry the bag of rice properly, I'll carry it for you. Don't spill the rice and waste it!"

Bai Xiaofeng was startled when she heard her mother-in-law's familiar voice of disapproval, and she hurriedly said, "Mom, I can hold it, I can hold it!"

Bai Xiaofeng grabbed the opening of the rice bag tightly, and was extremely excited!

The mother-in-law really wanted her to keep all the money from the sale!

"Hey, Mom, this...this..." Bai Xiaofeng was so excited that she spoke incoherently.

She can make four pieces of embroidery a month and earn about 40 wen. At the end of the year, she should have half a tael of silver in her pocket!

If we add up the numbers over a few years, this is definitely not a small number!

Mrs. Wei could also understand Bai Xiaofeng's excitement.

The brothers are growing up, and as a mother, she must feel bad if she doesn't have some money saved up.

In the past few years, the harvests were not good, and the whole family had to think and work together, and pool their money together to help the family get through the difficult times.

Life was getting a little easier now, and she wasn't that kind of evil mother-in-law, so she naturally wouldn't take even the money her daughter-in-law earned from sewing.

"Okay, let's go back." Mrs. Wei said lightly.

"Okay!"

Bai Xiaofeng was so eager to return home at this moment that she wished she could hurry back home and put away the forty-eight cents that belonged to her in her arms!
