Old Mrs. Li was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law, other than complaining that she didn't give birth to a fat grandson for her. Under the premise that there was no conflict of interest between the two of them, she treated née Wang as her daughter.
Lady Wang was also very persuasive, more talkative than Madame Zhou and more pleasing to the old lady. When the old lady was in trouble, she could always give her some advice.
For example, just now, even though Madame Zhou's mind was bright, she still acted so tyrannically. Her goal might have been achieved, but it was truly shameful for the entire village to be making a ruckus. But what about Mrs Wang? Her idea was not to ask for help or cry or advertise. As long as she kept the matter under control, how could she be afraid of being unable to snatch the thing from Wenxiu's hands?
Hmph, when the time comes, let's see how that little bitch will handle this matter!
Old Mrs. Li was very much in agreement with Lady Wang's idea, and her dark face instantly lit up with a smile. She kept praising Lady Wang, but it was only her left and right hands and such.
Lady Wang smiled happily, but in her heart, she scolded Old Mrs. Li half to death. 'Damn old granny likes grandsons, how nice are her two daughters?' She just didn't like the old granny at all. He was already a woman, and yet he valued his sons more than his daughters. How could the Heavens not take away the old woman, lest it hinder others' eyes?
"Mom, her aunt has been gone for a while. We should be going now." Mrs. Zhou and Liu Da He should also be going to Wen Xiu's house. It was perfect for them to step over there.
Now that she had the opportunity and it was even reasonable, her heart could not wait any longer. She hurriedly stood up and said with joy, "Let's go, let's go. I must give that little bitch a good beating today, or else I won't be able to vent my anger."
Mrs Wang smiled and replied, "Definitely!"
It was very cold out today. Other than the people who buried the dung in the ground, the rest of the people were holed up in their homes. Other than the intermittent barking from the dogs, the village was very quiet. When Old Mrs. Li and Lady Wang arrived at Wen Xiu's house, they met a person on the road. It was the Fang family.
The Fang family disliked the Yang family, and they also disliked Old Mrs. Li. The three of them brushed past each other and ignored each other. However, Lady Fang's back was facing Old Empress Dowager Li. With a "pah", her voice was a little loud, causing Old Madame Li to be displeased in an instant.
When née Wang saw Old Lady Li stop, she quickly lowered her voice and advised, "Mother, the situation today is different. We should first take care of Wenxiu and then capture the potato powder business in our hands."
That seemed to be the case!
Old Madam Li gave a cold snort and continued walking with a pair of sinister green eyes.
During this time, Mrs. Wang asked Old Mrs. Li where she had gone to that morning. This time, Old Mrs. Li didn't hide anything and directly went to Yang's place to make a scene, scolding that damned old lady.
Originally, she had a good discussion with Matriarch He, but who knew that Li Jun would suddenly return. Her daughter-in-law had soaked in soup and even made twenty copper coins for nothing. Who knew that when Wenxiu didn't come, Old Mrs. Li would close the door early in the morning. She cursed head and face, pushing all the blame onto her and even scolding her for some ridiculous things.
injustice!
She had truly died in injustice!
Since the Yang family had become Old Mrs. Li's outlet, Old Mrs. Li was inwardly delighted. Now that she mentioned it, she felt proud of herself!
"Enough, don't say anymore, we're almost there!"
"Sigh!"
The daughter-in-law pair walked out of Xiu's house, but did not hear any sound. The two of them looked at each other with doubt in their eyes. Something was not right. Judging by the time, Madame Zhou should have arrived long ago. Moreover, she should have started a ruckus with Wen Xiu already.
Where was he?
Could it be that Liu Dahe was not going to make the decision?
The more Mrs Wang thought about it, the more puzzled she became. Liu Da He had placed herself in a very fair position in the village. Regardless of whether he believed Mrs Zhou's words, he should still come to Wen Xiu's house and ask her about the situation. Moreover, Madame Zhou was crying all the way while shouting for him to make the decision. It was impossible for the villagers to not have people following to watch the show.
"Do you feel that something is wrong?"
"Mother sensed it too?"
The daughter-in-law asked each other some nonsense. At this point, Mrs Zhou and Liu Dahe had not appeared, and the scholar's family was also quiet. Needless to say, there was something wrong!
Old Mrs. Li could not make up her mind. Since Mrs. Zhou did not invite Liu Da He over, if she rashly entered the scholar's house, would that little bitch beat her up again? When she thought of the shiny kitchen knife from last night, she felt a little scared, and she could not help but feel a chill down her spine.
Lady Wang saw that her face was somewhat pale and slightly frowned. She held her up, "Mother, what's wrong? "But where is the discomfort?"
She felt uncomfortable everywhere, especially in her heart!
Old Madame Li waved her hand and lowered her voice, "Old master, why don't we go check out what that useless thing is actually doing!"
Old Mrs. Li naturally scolded Mrs. Zhou for being such a "useless thing"!
If she had known that she would not be able to help, she would not have allowed her own son to marry her. Other than giving birth to a grandson for the Li family, he didn't have any other contributions.
"Mom, let's ignore her aunt for now. It's the same if we go directly to Wenxiu." As Lady Wang spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered in Old Mrs. Li's ear.
After Old Madam Li heard this, she pondered for a moment. This made sense. With a grave expression, she nodded and said, "You're right. I've taken back my things. What should I be afraid of others saying?"
"Mother is right!"
"Go, knock on the door!"
Old lady Li's heart became confident, and her tone also became a bit more arrogant. Her entire being seemed to be filled with twenty to eighty thousand people.
Lady Wang responded and quickly knocked on the door.
Wenxiu was busy making candied fruits in the kitchen. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she could not lose her hand. She asked, "Who is it?" But no one answered. The sound of the door being knocked came from time to time.
Who was it!?
How annoying!
Wenxiu did not see the people outside answering her and was immediately irritated. One had to know that she had spent a lot of money to get the syrup in the pot. Right now, she was wrapped up in less than half of the candied fruits. If she were to open the door, what would she do if the bottom of the wok was muddled?
"Li Jun, open the door!"
Wen Xiu had no choice but to shout into the living room.
The three masters in the living room were roasting rabbit meat. A small fire was burning a fat rabbit. It was warm and fragrant, causing the tree and the Tong Tong to salivate.
Li Jun was still brushing the salt onto the rabbit meat when she gave a vague reply. She did not hurry to open the door, but instead continued to brush the salt patiently. He had gone through so much trouble to beat the rabbit, he definitely couldn't let it go to waste.
Old Mrs. Li and Lady Wang heard the sound coming from the courtyard, but no one came to open the door. The daughter-in-law was furious. Especially Old Lady Li, who was gnashing her teeth and scolding the "unfilial son" with a hideous expression.
"Go away!" She was so angry that her heart ached. She pushed open Lady Wang and kicked the door to Wen Xiu's yard. She shouted, "Two things that were struck by lightning, open the door for me!"
