Everyone found it strange and couldn't help but stare at Boss Niu. His back was bent so low, he must have something wrong with his body.

Normally, people like this wouldn't walk very fast, but he moved his legs very quickly.

Boss Niu felt other people's gazes, so he held the things in his arms tighter and bent his waist lower. He was not afraid of being misunderstood as being sick, but he was afraid that others would covet the money in his arms.

Meiyu got off the ox cart and walked to the door of her house. She was a little nervous and hesitated for a while. Finally, she mustered up the courage to go in, hoping that her mother-in-law was in her room and would not see her.

Unfortunately, I met my mother-in-law's eyes. I was startled and stiffened. I didn't know what to say. I slowly uttered one word, "Mom~"

Even though it was dark, the old and dim-eyed grandmother could see that Meiyu's clothes were different from when she went out. She pointed a finger and trembled with anger, "You...what's wrong? If you don't explain clearly, don't come into my house."

"How did Shuanzi end up with a mother like you?"

Meiyu knew she had misunderstood, "Mom, don't be angry, just listen to my explanation first."

The mother-in-law went back to the house and moved a stool to sit there. "Go ahead and tell me what you can say."

When the sister-in-law heard the noise, she also came out, thinking that something big might have happened. But when she saw Meiyu had changed her clothes, her eyes were so surprised that they almost popped out of their heads.

"You didn't do anything to offend Shuanzi's father, did you? He was very kind to you, and this is like repaying kindness with evil."

Meiyu glanced at her sister-in-law, thinking that a dog could not spit out ivory. She just wanted to watch the fun and make trouble. She would scare her to death if she told the truth. If she didn't apologize to her, she would make her pay.

The fact that I changed clothes before going out will definitely spread, so I have to coax my mother-in-law. Then, even if she says something unpleasant, she will be able to help me scold her back.

As for the sister-in-law, don't take it to heart. As long as you tell her about that matter, she will naturally not dare to talk nonsense outside.

Seeing my mother-in-law's face becoming increasingly ugly, I knew that she had also misunderstood.

He used his usual coquettish tactics, moved closer, clenched his hands into fists and gently hit her legs, but she dodged immediately.

Meiyu was not discouraged, with a smile on her face, "Mom, it's not what you think."

"Today my third brother received a reward, a piece of calligraphy written by the county magistrate himself."

The mother-in-law and the sisters-in-law looked at each other. What? Getting a reward from the county magistrate is such an honor.

When they first got married, they looked down on them, but their son liked them, and seeing that he couldn't persuade them, he agreed to the marriage.

The other daughter-in-law comes from a wealthy family, so she is naturally biased, after all, she can get more practical benefits.

However, being sweet-talking also has its advantages. Fortunately, the partiality was not very obvious. Now the situation has changed. In terms of support, it seems that Meiyu is more powerful.

The sister-in-law almost fainted after hearing this. In the past, the mother-in-law was more proud of herself because her family was powerful.

This time the limelight was stolen by Niu Meiyu, who was usually good at coaxing people, unlike her. She was a little stupid in this aspect.

It is very likely that someone will step on your head and shit on you in the future. If there are any good things, others will have to choose them first. It makes me angry just thinking about it.

The mother-in-law didn't dare to sit on the chair anymore, so she stood up directly. She couldn't act like this in front of her daughter-in-law. If anything happened, she couldn't expect her to help.

Her face was full of surprise, and she had long forgotten about the clothes. "Really?"

Meiyu saw her so happy and knew that she had passed this hurdle. "Of course it's true. Everyone in Niujia Village saw it. It was delivered by the master himself."

The sister-in-law felt a little regretful about what she had done to Meiyu before. She always wanted to compete with others. Why did she do that in the first place? If she was a petty person, she would definitely hold a grudge against her.

She is someone who can have a say with the county magistrate, so we have to build a good relationship with her. I will pick out a few pieces of jewelry I like and give them to her. With this relationship, it will be easier for my father and brother to get things done in the future.

Grandma pointed at the chair and said, "You must be tired from walking on the road. Take a rest. It's more comfortable to stay in the yard and enjoy the fresh air."

As he said this, he was about to push the person down on the chair.

Meiyu didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

"You haven't had any water since you came back. You must be thirsty."

The mother-in-law gave her sister-in-law a look. Although she was reluctant, she still went into the house, brought out a bowl of water and handed it to Meiyu.

Looking at Meiyu gulping down the water, he seemed to be hesitant to speak. He had to ask about the clothes, but he really couldn't open his mouth. What if he made her angry?

He gave another wink, wanting the other daughter-in-law to go and ask.

No one is a fool. If they are asked to do something, they will do it. It is not a big deal. However, if they are asked to do something that offends others, they must not do it.

Pretend not to understand what the other person means and let her ask herself. Although you are curious, you cannot open your mouth, but you can keep your ears perked up.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, the mother-in-law had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Meiyu~you..."

When Meiyu saw her hesitating, she knew what she wanted to ask, so it would be better for her to ask it herself.

"My eldest brother made soy milk and went to town to sell it a few days ago. Someone got sick from eating it. He has to pay some money."

"I thought that I couldn't let my eldest brother ruin my third brother's reputation. My family doesn't have much money, as you know, and I didn't bring any money with me when I went out."

"I wanted them to pay off the debt quickly and without any delay, so I gave the few pieces of fabric and the clothes I had with me to my eldest brother and asked him to use them to pay off the debt. These were my eldest sister-in-law's old clothes, and I was able to wear them again."

When the mother-in-law heard this, she thought Meiyu was really sensible. This was a daughter-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.

"You did the right thing. We can't let this incident have any negative impact on your third brother. If there is any problem at home in the future, we can still use this favor."

"Eat quickly, you must be hungry. I'll make you another dish you like. It will be ready soon."

Mother-in-law walked towards the kitchen happily.

The third brother didn't meet anyone along the way. When he got home, Niu Li heard the noise outside the door. He opened the door and opened his mouth so wide that a goose egg could fit in it. "Dad, how did you get into this state?"

Aunt Niu Dan was grinding soy milk. She looked up and saw the third child covered in mud. She quickly stopped what she was doing and asked, "Oh my God, what have you been doing?"

The road was slippery on a rainy day and it was very difficult to walk up the mountain, so Ni'er did not go to pick wild vegetables. She just stayed at home to teach Niu Li how to read.

Yan Zi and Ni Er went out at the same time and saw a clay figure standing at the door, but they didn't recognize it at all.

The third brother was a little nervous, but the mud on his face was a good cover, and he bared his teeth and said, "I accidentally slipped and fell into the ditch."

Everyone laughed at the third child, and Ni'er laughed especially happily, "Daddy, why are you so careless? Go wash up."
