Upon hearing this, Madam Sun was furious:
“I think Mother-in-law is absolutely right. You really are an ingrate. You don’t use your own people but use other people’s. Mother-in-law scolded you, and you got angry and even dared to come to your husband’s house to overturn the table. I think it’s your older brother who gave you the courage to be so lawless!”
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward and stood in front of Madam Sun, glaring at her as she said:
"Stop causing me trouble! When I'm not looking at you, shut your mouth and take the child inside!"
Sun was intimidated by Jiang Yuwei's imposing manner. She glanced at Jiang Yuwei furtively, then timidly looked at the idiot standing behind Jiang Yuwei, who looked excited and ready to fight. She immediately shrank back in fright and took Ning Xin back into the house.
Jiang Yuwei turned to look at Chen Guixiang and smiled:
"Mother-in-law, do you think a mentally challenged person is good at fighting?"
Chen Guixiang glanced at the fool and stammered:
"Fool, Li, amazing..."
Jiang Yuwei then approached Chen Guixiang and whispered in her ear:
“If Huai Zhi and I were to hit you, it would be unfilial of us. But the idiot is different. He has no relation to you whatsoever, and since he's an idiot, it's not uncommon for him to suddenly go crazy and hit people. So, remember this, Chen Guixiang. This is my last warning: don't mess with my shop. If I find out you're harassing the people in my shop again, I'll have the idiot beat you until you bleed from all seven orifices. You can try me if you don't believe me.”
After Jiang Yuwei finished speaking, she took a step back, gently straightened Chen Guixiang's clothes, and said with a smile:
"Mother-in-law, have you remembered everything I said?"
Chen Guixiang looked at the fool and suddenly remembered the scene in this courtyard that day when he pinned Xu Ming to the ground and beat him into a pig's head. Then, when she met Jiang Yuwei's meaningful eyes, she was so frightened that she nodded blankly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled with satisfaction and patted Chen Guixiang on the shoulder.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. You guys continue eating."
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei turned to the fool and said:
"Let's go home, you idiot, let's not fight today."
Upon hearing this, the fool muttered reluctantly:
"Ah, why aren't we fighting? I want to fight!"
Jiang Yuwei pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair out of the courtyard without looking back.
"I'll make you fried rice when we get back."
Upon hearing that he would be able to eat fried rice today, the fool excitedly rushed over, opened the courtyard gate, and exclaimed:
"Then let's hurry back, I'm hungry!"
After seeing Jiang Yuwei and her group walk away, Chen Guixiang collapsed to the ground, wiping the sweat from her brow. Seeing this, Ning Chunlin slammed his shovel on the ground and roared:
"Mother, are you just going to let Jiang Yuwei go like this? Look what she's done to our family!"
Upon hearing that Jiang Yuwei had left, Madam Sun hurriedly came out of the house and echoed her sentiments:
"Yes, Mother, are you really going to let her off so easily? Won't she take advantage of us in the future?"
Chen Guixiang turned around and glared fiercely at the second wife's family, then said weakly:
"Shut up, all of you! When that idiot was here, none of you dared to utter a sound. Now that he's gone, you're all jumping around. You think you're so great in front of me? If you really can't swallow this, then go ahead and make our family's life better so that Jiang Yuwei will have to come to you for help!"
As she spoke, Chen Guixiang angrily reached out her hand to Ning Chunlin and said:
"What are you standing there for? Help your mother up!"
Seeing this, Ning Chunlin rushed over to help Chen Guixiang up. After Chen Guixiang got up, she looked at the food scattered all over the yard and said with heartache:
"Oh dear, what a disaster! We won't be eating tonight. Madam Sun, tidy up the yard and go back to your room to sleep early. We'll eat tomorrow."
Seeing this, Madam Sun reluctantly muttered:
"But we're all hungry, and besides, Ningxin is so young, she'll definitely cry if she doesn't get enough to eat tonight!"
Hearing this, Chen Guixiang, who was just about to go back inside, turned around and glared fiercely at Sun Shi.
"Ningxin is a good-for-nothing. She won't starve if she misses a meal. If she cries, you can hit her. As a mother, you can't even handle this simple thing. What use is a daughter-in-law like you? You and your second son have been married for so many years, and you still haven't given the family a son. You can't earn money, you can't do any housework, and your belly is useless. All you think about is how to eat!"
After Chen Guixiang finished scolding, she went into the house without looking back. Sun Shi, who was holding Ning Xin, looked at Ning Chunlin with a wronged expression.
"Chunlin, what does your mother mean by this? She was upset by Jiang Yuwei, so she's taking it all out on me. Does she think I'm the only one in the family who's easy to bully? Besides, how could Mother say that Ningxin is a money-loser!"
Ning Chunlin pinched his brow and said impatiently:
"Shut up! What did I say wrong? It's all because your womb is useless and you can't give birth to a boy. You just have to take it when I get angry with you! Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and tidy up the yard and go inside to sleep!"
Seeing that Ning Chunlin, who usually protected her, was no longer speaking up for her, Sun had no choice but to put Ning Xin down. While shedding tears, she silently cleaned up the mess in the yard, cursing Jiang Yuwei in her heart.
Jiang Yuwei had already returned to the courtyard. Since the fool wanted to eat fried rice with eggs tonight, Jiang Yuwei simply made a big pot of fried rice with eggs, and everyone shared it.
While Aunt Zhang was at home, Jiang Yuwei took out another drawing she had made and handed it to her.
“Aunt Zhang, our Moxianzhai is launching a lot of new products soon. I heard from Uncle Ning that Uncle Zhang is very good at carving. Could you take the blueprints back and ask Uncle Zhang to find a bamboo root to make a paperweight for me to see? If it's feasible, Uncle Zhang can also help me with the carving in the future.”
Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"Okay, Yuwei, don't worry, I'll go back and have your Uncle Zhang make it. If all goes well, it can be delivered first thing tomorrow morning!"
Jiang Yuwei nodded and saw everyone off. Then she went to the backyard to study how to make sticky notes. She took out the paint she had bought earlier and first mixed several bright and eye-catching colors. Then she tried adding the colors to the pulp to test them. She tried many times before she mixed the right proportion.
Jiang Yuwei plans to create several color schemes for the sticky notes, releasing a new series each month to keep things fresh.
Jiang Yuwei designed the size of the sticky notes and then handed them over to Ning Huaizhi, asking him to make several templates to help with cutting. This way, the cut sheets would be the same size, and quality control would be better managed.
After giving instructions to Ning Huai, Jiang Yuwei went to the backyard to research the glue for making sticky notes. She worked on it all night before finally getting the right glue viscosity.
She wasn't going to the store today. The staff structure had stabilized, so Ning Huaizhi and the others could go instead. Jiang Yuwei wanted to stay home and catch up on her sleep. In the afternoon, she also needed to teach Tiezhu and Ningwu how to make sticky notes.
