A peasant girl traveled through time and space, and she became prosperous

Sure enough, my mother walked out holding the door frame. Looking at so many people gathered outside the yard, she waved at Wen Meijiu who was standing in the yard with some embarrassment.

Wen Meijiu hurried forward, held his mother's hand, and helped her down the stairs.

During this break, her mother whispered in her ear:

"Girl, mother knows that the millet belongs to your aunt."

Mother's voice was very soft, but the firmness in her words made Wen Meijiu feel guilty and speechless for a moment.

She felt guilty not because she stole the millet from the old lady, but because she felt unworthy of her mother's teachings to the original owner when she was asked this question by her mother.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the mother swallowed and said softly:

"You don't have to bear this responsibility, mother is still alive.

You listen to your mother, go quickly and find a job for Prince Wang, I will take care of the family."

"I do not go."

She made such a big promise in front of her parents, how could she just leave like that when the person hasn't been rescued yet?

Mother sighed silently, and after standing firmly in the yard, she suddenly looked up at her eldest sister-in-law and said with a smile:

"Sister-in-law, we are all family. If you have anything to say, let's go inside and talk. It's so cold outside, you might get cold."

Mother thought, even if her family was in a bad state now, she had helped her eldest sister-in-law's family in the past. She should not give in to others, but invite her eldest sister-in-law into the house, close the door, and the family would be fine, so as not to let outsiders laugh at her.

But the old lady refused. She was afraid that if she went into the house, she would have no one to rely on and would never get her half bag of millet back. After all, there were so many people watching the fun outside who could support her.

“Who is your family?

Your eldest girl stole my family’s food, and you say that we are one family now?

You want to take advantage of me for free? No way!

If you want to eat millet, you can ask your husband to go out and earn it for you. Why should I use my family's food to feed your family?"

When she shouted like this, the onlookers immediately became excited. They all heard the old lady say the word "steal". So, did Wen Meijiu really steal the millet from her family?

Mother couldn't hold back her expression for a moment, and immediately turned her face upside down, saying angrily:

"Sister-in-law, the child came to your house to borrow food, but you refused to lend it to her, so she went to borrow from another family.

You were ungrateful first, so how can you say such ugly words in front of a child now?

If Erlang could really go out and earn money like before, how many years would you have come to my house to borrow things?

Not to mention millet, you also borrowed a lot of flour in previous years. Have you ever paid it back?"

My mother felt aggrieved and angry. When her own family was doing well in the past, she always thought that her sister-in-law's family was not doing well, so she just lent the money and never asked for it back.

But now her family is in trouble, who will come to see her and ask after her?

She could only sigh that the world is fickle and people's hearts are hard to predict.

"Yes, in the past, Jiaoniang asked her sister-in-law to take everything from her home. Now her husband is lying in bed, why is she bringing up such a big issue?"

Some people thought it was inappropriate for the old lady to mention the father of Wen Meijiu, and they said a few words to support her.

"That's right. My family is not rich. When Jiaoniang comes to borrow something, I won't lend her anything I can. Can't anyone with a discerning eye see what her family's situation is like?"

Someone else agreed, and the old lady felt a sense of crisis.

The old lady got furious and said that this family was looking for old things and wanted to take back all their old things!

Who is she, Ren Meiluo? How could she possibly take things out of her pocket after they were already in her pocket?

"I took it because you wanted to, didn't I?

Everyone knows that the things you asked me to take away were because they were broken in your house and there was no place to throw them away, so you asked me to take them away.

I never dare to eat the things I took from your house. I either fed them to pigs or dogs.

My dear, my dear, I didn’t see it. Are you trying to trick me?

In the past, I just took some junk from your house, and now you want to use those things to exchange for my good food. If I don’t give it to you, you will instigate your daughter to steal it, right?”

"Sister-in-law, you, you, how can you talk like that?"

My mother was so angry that her hands were shaking and she couldn't speak clearly.

Wen Meijiu had long known that there was no need to reason with a shrew like the old lady.

In order not to make her mother angry, she ignored everything and helped her mother into the house.

The old lady followed him two steps forward until they reached the center of the yard. Fearing that it would be disadvantageous for her if she went in, she stood at the door and cursed.

"Jiao Niang, you are such a heartless person. If I hadn't said something nice to my mother-in-law, you would never have been able to enter the Wen family.

Now that you have come in, instead of teaching them well, you have taught them to steal and cheat. Are you worthy of my painstaking efforts?"

"If you know what's best for you, hand over the remaining millet and make up for the ones you ate. I'll forgive you for what you did.

Otherwise, I will go find Mr. Wang and ask him to take your eldest maid away to be a servant girl."

The most vicious heart is that of a woman, and this kind of shrewd woman is what I am referring to.

Wen Meijiu suddenly lifted the tattered door curtain and accidentally splashed it on the old lady's face. She remained indifferent and stood at the door glaring at the ferocious old lady in front of her.

"If you keep glaring at me, I'll dig your eyeballs out. I'll teach you and your mother a lesson and make you disrespect your elders."

Covering half of her face, the old lady poked Wen Meijiu's nose and cursed him viciously.

"Respect is mutual. Do you deserve it?"

Wen Meijiu didn't give her a good look either, and was not polite at all when he talked back to her. There was no need to be polite to such a person.

The old lady didn't expect that Wen Meijiu would dare to speak to her like this. In her impression, Wen Meijiu was a girl who was spoiled by her mother. She never went out of the house all day and would blush when talking to others. How could he dare to speak to her like this today?

The old lady looked Wen Meijiu up and down with suspicion, and she even suspected that the person standing in front of her was not Wen Meijiu. The energy he exuded made her a little afraid.

But she couldn't lose face no matter what she lost, especially since her own Xiaomi was really gone. No matter whether it was Wen Meijiu who stole it, she had to get it back.

If she didn't get it back from here, who would send millet to her family for free? Millet is a rare fine grain that most families can't afford.

"I am your elder and also your father. I will beat you up for talking back to me, you uneducated thing."

As she was speaking, the old lady's big slap had already come towards Wen Meijiu's cheek, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, and it was about to hit her face. There was a cry of surprise from the crowd outside the wall.

It happened in a flash. Wen Meijiu moved his face back, barely avoiding the slap from the old lady. He stretched out one hand and grabbed her wrist, and using his clever strength to twist it in the opposite direction, he pushed the old lady's arm behind her back.

Before Wen Meijiu could ask her if she was convinced, she got angry and started to curse:

"Jiao Niang, you are a person with a life but no one to teach you. Not only are you bad yourself, but now you have brought this bad habit to the old Wen family. You are simply not wanting our old Wen family to survive!

I'm going to tell my mother-in-law and see how she punishes you."

People always pick on the weak. She couldn't beat Wen Meijiu, so she started cursing her mother. How could Wen Meijiu let her off?
