Chapter 211 Home in Lotus Village
The setting sun casts its golden rays upon the rippling water.
Wang bent down and cleared away the weeds in the vegetable garden, then pulled out a few ripe radishes to eat that evening.
She stared at the radish for a long time, feeling that it was different from the ones she had grown in previous years.
Not only the radishes, but all the vegetables in the garden are growing differently than in previous years.
But they seem to look better than the ones we grew before.
"Aunt Wang, your vegetables are growing so well!"
A woman's voice came from outside the vegetable garden, indicating that Wang was to do the work.
She stood up straight and looked outside; it was Aunt Fengxian!
Mrs. Wang smiled faintly, "Take good care of yourself, and you'll grow up beautifully!"
She grabbed two radishes and walked to the wall of the vegetable garden. "They're fresh. Take them home and cook them for your children!"
Aunt Fengxian was somewhat flattered and hurriedly refused, saying, "This won't do! Your family has vegetables saved for winter, how can I take them!"
She looked around and whispered, "I heard your eldest son and his wife are back. These fresh vegetables should be left for them. I heard you've earned a lot, but grain and vegetables are especially important; don't let anyone try to steal them!"
Wang knew what Aunt Fengxian meant.
Two days ago, the Chen family was robbed, and several cabbages and radishes were stolen.
Fortunately, Aunt Fengxian happened to pass by and shouted, which helped them retrieve half of the vegetables.
Although the thief who stole the vegetables has not been found so far, it has made Wang's sleepless nights.
Aunt Yang passed by and saw Wang and Aunt Fengxian pushing and shoving each other with radishes. She quickly walked over with a smile and said, "Oh my, Sister Wang, you've grown these vegetables really well."
Just as she reached out to take one, Wang suddenly stopped, hugged the radish to her chest, and looked wary.
"Sister Wang, you're being stingy. I just thought your radishes looked pretty good, so I came to take a look. I'm not trying to steal them from you, so why are you being like this?" Aunt Yang's expression changed as she spoke.
"Sigh, Yongnian is now a hero in the village for suppressing bandits, he's really getting ahead! His future path will be different from everyone else's! No wonder the Chen family looks down on the rest of the village!"
Wang kept a cold face and didn't want to pay attention to Aunt Yang.
A few days ago, this person brought Lin Xiaohua over, wanting to matchmake Lao San with her daughter. However, after being rejected by Lao San, he felt embarrassed and spread rumors everywhere that Lao San wanted to marry into a higher social class and looked down on the girls in the village.
Now that they know the boss is coming back, they're starting to talk about him again!
Although Wang is usually gentle and easy-going and doesn't hold grudges, that doesn't mean anyone can slander her son.
She gave Aunt Yang a cold look and said coldly, "Tell me, how do you look down on the villagers?"
Aunt Yang was used to Wang's submissive attitude and was speechless for a moment when she was refuted.
"Aunt Yang, is your Xiaohua being rushed off to get married? She was just rejected by our third son a couple of days ago, and now she's rushing to marry off the village head's son. Is there some hidden reason for this, that she's in a hurry to get married to cover it up?"
Aunt Yang's face darkened completely. Following the sound, she looked over and saw Li Chongniang, who was heavily pregnant, in the yard. She gritted her teeth and said, "Chongniang, you've been recuperating for over a month, and your health hasn't improved, but your mouth is getting more and more venomous. Aren't you afraid that the child you give birth to will be born without an anus?"
"I don't know if my child has an anus, but who knows if your daughter is carrying a monster! Having a child before marriage is a big taboo..."
"Li Chongniang, what nonsense are you spouting? My Xiaohua is innocent! Don't tarnish my daughter's reputation!"
Li Chongniang was completely unafraid and shouted, "Aunt Yang, you're standing in my house shouting and yelling, do you think you're in the right?"
Aunt Yang gave a cold laugh, "Your home? Your home is probably somewhere in the mountains! With Wan Qiqi around, you're nothing!"
Seeing that she was trying to sow discord, Li Chongniang couldn't stand it anymore and rolled up her sleeves to walk out.
When Chen Yongxing returned with water and saw this scene, he immediately dropped the bucket and rushed to stop them.
He gently stroked Li Chongniang's belly, "Wife...wife...don't panic, I'll scold back for you, just take care of your belly!"
Li Chongniang glared at her, snorted coldly, and then walked back to sit down on the chair.
Chen Yongxing agreed to help Li Chongniang scold back, and he didn't hold back, saying, "I decide where my wife's family is, and what my sister-in-law does is her business. What does it have to do with you, an outsider? If you have such thoughts, go find a good home for your daughter and stop having any crooked ideas!"
"Thoughts on something?" Aunt Yang was displeased and put her hands on her hips to scold, "My daughter is innocent and pure. She and the village head's son are both unmarried. Why can't they have a relationship?"
The two argued incessantly, attracting the attention of people working nearby.
Wang was overwhelmed by the news.
She wondered what her eldest daughter-in-law would say if she were here.
Just then, a familiar female voice came to mind.
"I just got back and someone's causing trouble right in front of my house?"
Aunt Yang was startled by the sound, a chill ran down her spine, and cold sweat covered her forehead.
Didn't they say he was still in town and might stay with the Wan family?
How did you get back?!
She turned around stiffly, meeting Wan Qiqi's gaze as if a knife were held to her throat.
A single glance from the other party can make a person feel suffocated.
If they were to speak again, they would undoubtedly suffer a crushing defeat.
Aunt Yang knew she couldn't win an argument with Wan Qiqi, so she decided to run away. But just as she was about to leave, she was stopped by someone.
"Aunt Yang, you caused trouble in my house, shouldn't you apologize to my mother?"
The person blocking the way was too tall; Aunt Yang could only see their shoulder when looking at them at eye level.
She looked up and met Chen Yongnian's cold gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.
Is this... really Chen Yongnian?
The Chen Yongnian of the past was simple and honest, with gentle eyes, completely different from the person in front of him.
