stingy landlady

Chapter 131 Conjunctivitis Cured (2)

The old man looked at Dazhu:

"You're always busy doing nothing! Everyone's eyeing this and that! Everyone's envious of your earnings! Hurry up and get your wife healthy so she can give birth to a boy and all these problems will be solved!"

The old man thought for a moment, then said:

"No way! Starting tomorrow, Guihong and I will go to town! Without an adult to accompany us, people will definitely covet our house! People's hearts are unpredictable, and it's not right to let a young girl take over the household!"

Dazhu! I'm not trying to be mean, but look at the people who went with Guihong – they're all servants, farmhands, and guards! Guihong herself is still just a child, how can you be so careless!

Guihong, don't think Grandpa is old! Starting tomorrow, Grandpa will go to town with you! Even though Grandpa can't do much, he still represents that there are adults in our family!

Do you understand? We absolutely cannot let outsiders bully us!

Guizhi felt she had traveled all day in a horse-drawn carriage after returning from the county town, and she was thoroughly exhausted! But she still had to buy what she needed, and she didn't care how much money she had, and she refused to go to the town herself again!

She said to Xu Hong:

"Uncle Xu Hong! Tell Aunt Zhou and Ju Shuang to go buy fabric and cotton to make quilts! Ju Shuang and Wan Rou need to have something to do! When people are busy, they forget about unhappy things!"

But be careful not to overexert yourself!

When Wang Yifei returned from his business trip, Qian Shi became even more attentive to him. She dared not let him know a single detail!

After the old man and Gui Hong arrived in town and settled in, the old man went to the carriage shop to deliver a message to Wang Yifei. Learning that Wang Yifei was still away on business, he assumed that Wang Yifei was unaware of the matter, and felt somewhat relieved.

He sent someone to inform him that he must go home upon his return before returning to the woods. He also did not want to speak directly with the Qian family.

Wang Yifei, unaware of what had happened, listened to the old man finish recounting the Qian family's matter. The old man said:

"Third son! Harmony in the family brings prosperity! I don't know what you're after! If everyone turns against you and Qian Shi is left, how comfortable will life be?"

Wherever he goes, people will point and whisper! I don't believe that the carriage company will still want that unfilial and unjust person!

Third brother, I believe you didn't know the truth, that's why I called you home to tell you! Go apologize to your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and that Qian family needs to be dealt with too! Can brothers really be irreconcilable enemies? When brothers are united, their strength can break metal!

Have the Qian family write a guarantee promising that they will no longer covet your elder brother's things or try to take advantage of Gui Xiang and the others! This is also what I promised your elder brother!

Otherwise, I'll divorce her!

After Wang Yifei repeatedly stated that he knew nothing about it, he stormed home, knowing Qian's silver tongue. Without asking why or what was right or wrong, he grabbed Qian and gave her a sound beating.

After beating the person, having vented his anger, he said to Qian:

"You know why I hit you! You have two choices now: one is to be sent home after being divorced, and the other is to give you another chance. Write a guarantee right now! State that you will no longer covet my brother's things, and will no longer try to take advantage of Gui Xiang and the others!"

If there's a next time, you'll have to resign on your own! After you finish writing this, take the guarantee and come with me to apologize to your elder brother and sister-in-law!

Despite being beaten senseless, Qian still agreed to write the guarantee! In her heart, however, she harbored deep hatred for Dazhu's family!

On one side, he's crying while writing a guarantee! On the other side, Dazhu says to Old Man Zhou:

"If my third brother and his wife come, tell them to go directly to the old house! Then let me know when they arrive! Don't let Li Shi know; those women are all talk and no action!"

Not to mention how Qian was taken back to the old house and how she cried and begged for mercy to Dazhu and the old man and woman! She also cried and wiped her tears to explain that she knew nothing about it and that it was all her younger brother's idea!

Qian was beaten so badly her face was bruised and swollen, she looked quite frightening, and she refused to go out! After staying home for a few more days, when the swelling on her face had subsided somewhat, she finally went back to her parents' house to continue making boxed lunches!

Madam Qian secretly took ten taels of silver back to her parents' home to buy medicine for her younger brother. Besides, she was used to spending money extravagantly, so she eventually felt that she was short of money and had many inconveniences!

Old Mrs. Qian did not let Mrs. Qian into the house:

"We're making boxed lunches at home, so it's not convenient for you to come in! You don't need to get involved in this business anymore! Anyway, you've got better options in mind!"

I'm afraid that if you get punished for causing trouble for my younger brother this time, you might harm someone in our family next time! They're all your brothers, so you'd better be more careful!

Go back! Go back and live a good life with Yifei, stop running back to your parents' house every other day! It's only because your mother-in-law is so lenient and doesn't set any rules for you that you've developed this unruly personality!

Ms. Qian was rendered speechless by her mother's words! Moreover, her family made it clear that she was not allowed to participate in selling boxed lunches! With no one to help her and her child, she could only slink home and cry her heart out under the covers!

If Guizhi knew, she would definitely laugh three times:

"Hahaha! The wicked will always be punished by the wicked! This Qian family has lost both his wife and his army!"

Guizhi and Zhou Niangzi are also preparing to return home! These piglets are growing very well! The farmhands who feed the pigs are used to mixing swill with cornmeal, adding some wild vegetables, and adhering to the principle of feeding small amounts frequently.

Pan Sen was clever; after soaking some corn seeds and letting them sprout, he planted a small tree and had the farmhands plant a few kernels of corn next to it!

They said they were weeding the saplings and would also weed the corn. Before they knew it, they had planted dozens of kilograms of seeds, enough for more than ten acres!

Guizhi believes that there is strength in numbers! As long as everyone is willing to do things, the future will definitely get better and better!

Xu Hong arranged for a few people to build houses, while those who were going to the interior to fetch their wives had already set off!

Wanrou wasn't seriously ill; it was just a cold. She was weak for two days after the fever subsided, but she's already recovered! Every day, she follows Jushuang to feed the chickens, ducks, and geese!

It's quite amusing! The chickens, ducks, and geese automatically gather and open their beaks for food as soon as they hear their voices. Standing high up, looking down at all those chattering, quacking mouths, it's as if you're the one who's needed!

In their spare time, the group would make quilts, and the conversation would never end! Three women make a drama! Not to mention there was also Guizhi, a half-grown child, with them!

"Wanrou! Everyone has their own destiny! The fact that you met me and Uncle Xu Hong is a way for you to survive!"

Otherwise, why would it be anyone else who ran into you? It had to be me and Uncle Xu Hong! Uncle Xu Hong is strong enough to carry you! I'm just a little girl, of course I'd protect you!

Wasn't it Kikusou! How could you have been so clever and courageous back then!

Ju, while threading the needle, said with a smile:

"Miss Guizhi has already said both yes and no, so what should I say?"

The group chattered and laughed incessantly! Wanrou recalled Xu Hong carrying her up and down the carriage, his strong arms and reassuring embrace. Unconsciously, she blushed with embarrassment!
