The son-in-law of a prosperous family

At the hour of You, all the villagers gathered under the big locust tree.

Many more people came than expected. Originally, only one person from each family would come, but as it was getting dark, everyone had nothing to do at home, so they came out together to join in the fun.

"Aunt Xiang Xing, you're out too?"

"Erhua, what did you eat tonight? The purslane in the mountains has grown very well recently. It's very delicious when chopped up and mixed with rice."

"Isn't that a coincidence? What we're making tonight is purslane salad."

Everyone gathered in groups of three or five, talking about family matters. Many of them brought their own small stools and gathered together, making it very lively.

After a while, I saw the three members of the Chen family coming.

The wedding banquet a few days ago made the Chen family a laughing stock. Everyone was not happy with them and just chatted with their friends, pretending not to see them.

However, there were still many people secretly looking at Sun Xiuxiu.

After looking at her, they started to gossip together again: "As expected of a girl from a wealthy family, she looks very dignified."

"Yes, you saw her steps, small and steady."

"It's just different from us rough guys, haha!"

Ever since her son passed the imperial examination and became a student, Chen was determined to be the focus of the crowd. Whenever others looked at her with envy and respect, she would feel an unprecedented satisfaction.

That is the satisfaction of vanity.

At this time, no one took the initiative to talk to her, and Chen was a little unhappy.

After thinking about it, he plunged into the crowd.

"Shepherd's purse is also good. Chop some tofu into it and use it to make dumplings. It's also delicious."

"Yes, in fact, wild chrysanthemum dumplings are also good."

"Can wild chrysanthemum be used to make dumplings?"

"Yes, but we don't usually eat it this way in our village. My mother's family likes to use it to make dumplings and mix it with tofu. It's quite delicious."

The villagers lead a simple life, which is just eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and farming, so most of their conversations revolve around these.

At this time, Chen came forward.

She interrupted, "Shepherd's purse doesn't taste good, and wild chrysanthemum doesn't taste good either. My chickens don't like to eat them."

As if saying this would make her appear superior to everyone else, the women rolled their eyes in tacit understanding, ignored her, and talked about other topics.

As if everyone knew, Chen had gone to the mountains to dig wild vegetables a lot in the past two days. Each time she dug, she would get a big basket. They had seen her two or three times.

Chen pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, but she didn't show it in the end.

Get out of this crowd and then dive into another crowd.

"Han's Cloth Shop is a good deal. If you buy two pieces of coarse linen, the shopkeeper will give you thread and some scraps of cloth. The scraps of cloth can be used to make shoe soles."

"I also like to buy cloth from them. The owner is a kind man."

Chen groaned, "Do you think those things are free? They are just trying to trick you into buying them. You are just stupid and can't understand the twists and turns."

Everyone's expressions were hard to describe.

Who is stupid?!

These small favors are of course meant to win over customers like them, but this is clearly a win-win situation, with both parties happy about it. So why does it sound so mean in Chen's mouth?

"Yes, yes, we are stupid, and you are the smart one!"

Chen didn't hear the sarcasm in the sentence and was still looking smug: "Of course not. My son was able to pass the exam, which means I gave him a good birth. You guys..."

Before he could finish his words, those people turned around and started talking about the cloth they liked, what material it was made of, what pattern it had, how much it cost, and so on.

Chen started to interrupt again: "My daughter-in-law's clothes are all made of silk, even her pajamas, which are very soft to the touch."

The women turned a deaf ear to her and still ignored her.

Chen was angry. Wasn't this behavior like a slap in the face to her?

"You, you..."

Her hands began to tremble uncontrollably again, and the blood rushing up made her dizzy. She would rather have someone quarrel with her or fight with her than be ignored.

Chen pounced forward fiercely, but the man he pounced on happened to see an acquaintance, stood up and greeted him. Chen's pounce missed him and he fell heavily to the ground.

Bang.

The commotion was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.

But no one offered a helping hand. Chen was a snake. They were just farmers in real life and did not want to become the farmers in the fable.

This was the scene that Fang Huai and Zhao Yunchuan saw when they came over.

Sun Xiuxiu was also startled, and when she came to her senses, she hurried to help Chen.

"Mom, get up quickly."

Chen's face was distorted with pain, her palm was scratched and there was a trace of blood, and her knee was burning with pain, probably because it was also scratched.

Chen Xu cursed inwardly, he felt ashamed to have such a mother, petty and unpresentable, always doing things that embarrassed him.

"Mom, get up quickly."

Sun Xiuxiu supported her carefully. Although she didn't like Chen, she still had to save face in public. Besides, it was not the time to fall out with her.

"Ouch," Chen cried out in pain, "It hurts so much, I can't get up."

Sun Xiuxiu asked worriedly, "Is it broken?"

"Yes, I must have broken a bone."

Then she glared at Zhang Fenfang and said, "It was you who pushed me down. Pay me, pay me quickly. If you don't have two taels of silver today, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Sun Xiuxiu felt something was wrong. It looked like a scam.

Zhao Yunchuan, who was not far away, was also whispering to Fang Huai: "Brother Huai, did you see that? They are trying to blackmail us again?"

The sound was not loud, but the surroundings were very quiet, so it was still clearly heard by everyone.

When Sun Xiuxiu looked up, she saw the handsome young man. Next to him stood a man with a gorgeous face. The two of them were very close and it was obvious what their relationship was.

Uh... it's weird, the man looks like a boy, and the boy looks like a man.

But they look particularly well matched when standing together.

When Sun Xiuxiu looked away, she saw that Chen's eyes were wide open, not at Zhang Fenfang, but at Zhao Yunchuan and Fang Huai.

Zhao Yunchuan simply glanced at Chen Xu, then turned around and continued whispering to Fang Huai: "Brother Huai, the old witch glared at me, I was so scared."

Still?

A grown man?

Everyone wanted to poke their own eyes out, and if possible... they didn't want their ears anymore.

"Brother Huai, look, that old witch is still glaring at me. I'm going to have a nightmare tonight. I need a hug."

Everyone:...

They should be under the car, not here, smile.

Chen was so angry that her hands were shaking even more. Zhang Fenfang snorted coldly and took the opportunity to distance herself from the matter: "You shameless old man, you want to blackmail me again. I didn't even touch you just now. Everyone present saw it clearly. You want silver? Ha! When you die, I will burn it for you!"
