Chapter 475: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 25
Just when Qian was enjoying her meal, Wang, who had gone to Qingyuan Temple to burn incense, came back.
Chen Mufeng followed behind, looking dusty and exhausted.
Wang saw the mess on the table in the main hall and most of the cakes were gone, and her face darkened.
Without saying a word, she picked up the broom in the house and hit Qian, cursing as she hit her:
"You lazy and greedy woman, how can you eat something as precious as cakes? Not only did you eat one, but you also ate half a box. Why don't you finish it all?"
Although she didn't know where the pastries came from, she guessed that they must have been brought by her daughter Chen Sangyu who married into the town.
Wang was naturally angry because her daughter brought back things from her parents' home, but they were stolen by Qian, so she beat her even harder.
Qian was beaten so hard that she screamed and ran around the hall, "Mom, I was wrong, please stop beating me!"
But Wang was still angry and refused to stop. "You are wrong? You always say this, but when have you ever changed your mind? This cake was brought back by Sang Yu as a gift to us two elders. How can it be your turn to eat it?"
"You are lazy and greedy. You don't do anything all day long. You just eat secretly. I will beat you to death today..."
Wang chased Qian with a broom and beat her. Although she was old, her legs and feet were still very nimble. She beat Qian very hard, again and again.
Qian jumped up and down in the yard, howling.
Her son Erniu was so scared that he sat on the ground and cried loudly, and the whole yard was in chaos.
Daya and Shitou were also very frightened. Zhao hurriedly took the two children and hid in the house, and did not go out to persuade them.
Because Qian is really annoying.
Chen Mufeng frowned, as if he didn't see anything about his mother beating his second sister-in-law.
Go straight to the kitchen to get some water and wash up.
After a day of traveling, my whole body is covered in dust. I will feel uncomfortable if I don’t wash myself.
Yu Yao sat in the room and watched with great interest. This was more interesting than reading a storybook.
She picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and looked relaxed and contented.
It was actually just boiled water, in which she added some jasmine flowers picked and dried from the mountains.
Qian couldn't bear the beating anymore, so she simply hid back in the house, closed the door, and didn't even care about her son Erniu who was crying outside.
Wang chased to the door and knocked hard, "You damn bitch, if you have the guts, don't come out. If you do, I will continue to deal with you."
Erniu was crying with tears on his face, holding his grandmother's clothes, "Grandma, please don't hit me. I will make me obedient in the future."
When Wang saw her grandson's pitiful appearance, her anger subsided a lot. After cursing a few words, she took Erniu back to the main room.
Qian in the room didn't dare to make a sound until dinner time, when she cautiously came out.
Qian came out of the house trembling, her eyes still red and swollen, and there were several marks on her face from being scratched by a broom.
Chen Xiuhe saw the marks on his wife's face and frowned, "What's wrong with your face?"
Qian felt wronged when she heard this and wanted to complain, but Wang glared at her, so she dared not open her mouth to complain. She stammered, "It's nothing. I fell accidentally."
After saying this, he didn't dare to look at Wang, he lowered his head and walked to the dining table and sat down to eat.
Wang snorted and stopped glaring at Qian.
Chen Xiuhe looked at his wife Qian, then at his mother. There was nothing he didn't understand.
This lazy woman must have done something to anger me and got beaten.
He shook his head and didn't care any more.
The meal was eaten in silence.
After dinner, Yu Yao was in charge of clearing the dishes, because Zhao had prepared dinner, and Qian
Don't count on her either.
She put away the dishes and cleaned the stove. Just as she was about to get some water to wash up, she saw Chen Mufeng coming into the kitchen.
"Sixth brother, why are you in the kitchen? Do you need water to wash?"
When Yu Yao saw him, she thought he was here to get hot water.
Chen Mufeng nodded, and seeing that there was no one else in the kitchen and no one was coming this way, he took out a red brocade bag from his arms, on which the word "peace" was embroidered.
This is a peace amulet that he got from the temple.
He just walked over with the brocade bag and handed it to her, blushing and whispering, "Third sister-in-law, this is what I prayed for you at Qingyuan Temple. I hope you will be safe and sound."
Yu Yao was slightly startled, then she smiled and reached out to take it, gently rubbing the patterns on it. She didn't expect that this man still remembered her after going to the temple to burn incense. That was quite good.
"I'll take this amulet, thank you."
She put the amulet in her sleeve, and if she wasn't afraid that others would see it, she would have wanted to hang it on her body.
Chen Mufeng looked at her quietly with a complicated expression.
Thinking that his third brother's health had gradually recovered, which was a good thing, he felt empty and dry in his heart.
I feel very uncomfortable.
He moved his lips and spoke with difficulty: "Third brother's health is gradually getting better. I am happy for Third Sister-in-law. From now on..."
Before Chen Mufeng could finish, she suddenly interrupted him, looked up and looked into his eyes, "Are you really happy?"
Chen Mufeng froze in place instantly, looking flustered and a little at a loss.
He avoided the gaze, not daring to look directly into the eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
After a long while, he whispered, "It's a good thing that Third Brother can get better. I... Of course I'm happy."
His voice trembled a little, as if he was trying to convince himself.
Even if he was unhappy, he was his third brother. Given his current situation, he could only act happy.
Yu Yao sneered, her eyes becoming sharper, "Really? Then why have you been so absent-minded and unhappy these past two days?"
Don't think you can't see his forced smile.
"No, Third Sister-in-law must have seen it wrong."
Chen Mufeng looked increasingly flustered. He didn't dare to stay in the kitchen anymore and turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing him fleeing in panic, Yu Yao sighed softly with a complicated expression.
Chen Mufeng was lying, how could she not see it?
It was like she was deceiving herself.
She scooped some hot water from the pot into the wooden basin, added some cold water to it, and brought it into the house to wash.
Chen Xiuyuan's health has improved a lot. He used to be able to move only his hands, but now he can move his legs as well.
Of course, I can sit up, but it’s not very flexible.
Today she fed the remaining half of the fitness pill to Chen Xiuyuan. She thought that in a few days, he would be able to walk.
After she finished washing herself, she fetched some hot water and helped Chen Xiuyuan wash himself.
At this moment, she was squatting in front of Chen Xiuyuan and washing his feet.
To be honest, this was the first time for Yu Yao to wash someone's feet. When she was a palace maid, she had never washed the emperor's feet.
Fortunately, she has a good attitude and can adapt to any role.
Chen Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed and moved his feet, "Yao Niang, I can wash it myself."
Yu Yao didn't like to serve others. After hearing what he said, she nodded slightly, "Okay, then wash it yourself. Be careful. If you have any trouble, call me."
She stood up and went to the yard to fetch water to wash her hands.
The night was dark, the moonlight was like water, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the Chen family courtyard.
She stood in the yard, her eyes fixed on the next door house where an oil lamp was on.
Obviously, Chen Mufeng was reading late into the night.
She frowned and thought, studying for the imperial examinations requires money the most, although the Chen family is not poor, it is still tight to support a scholar.
At this moment, she was thinking about whether she should secretly give some money to Chen Mufeng to support him.
But it’s hard to explain where the money came from.
Thinking that the original owner was taking embroidery work in town, I became aware of it.
He couldn't help but think that when Chen Mufeng went to take the imperial examination, he would secretly follow him.
Anyway, Chen Xiuyuan has been cured, and the 30 taels of silver that Chen Xiuyuan spent on marrying the original owner has also been repaid, so there is no question of who owes whom.
It’s not that she hates Chen Xiuyuan, but she doesn’t want to live like this.
But deep down, she felt that it was not fair to do so, after all, Chen Xiuyuan had done nothing wrong.
For a while, she was very conflicted and couldn't sleep at night.
