Madam Xu pulled Aunt Wang to the side, afraid that his own man would hear them, and said in a suppressed voice: "I have seen him. On the way back, I went to the inn to sit down, wearing my new shoes, and said that it was my daughter who gave it to me."

Aunt Wang asked: "Did you give me the silver? Ling Chaofeng is so rich."

The Madam Xu spat out: "Not a single copper, only his clothes, shoes, and two bags of tobacco, and give Wen Bao a cotton jacket. I've looked through all the bags inside and out, and that's all. I'm dead. "

Aunt Wang laughed: "I'm afraid he was given some silver, I taught him to hide it from you."

Madam Xu scolded under her breath: "If that's the case, then I don't have hope for this family. I listened to you for the past few days and didn't cause trouble with him. I was so anxious that I wanted to have a big fight with him and ask him how she was going to compensate me for my hard work in pulling her away for more than a decade after giving birth to such a shameless and heartless daughter. "

After the Master Mu finished his work, Lady Wang quickly went over to say his thanks, and then dispersed and went back home to eat.

Wen Bao was studying in the academy, he rushed out at noon. Madam Xu was afraid that his son would get hungry, so he chased after him to give him a beating.

However, his son said with disdain, "I don't want to eat a nest. I want to eat steamed buns and meat buns. I want to eat dumplings. Mother, why is it that my dad is back? We're eating worse and worse?"

"Shut up, don't speak nonsense in front of your father." The Madam Xu chided his son and quickly chased him away.

Master Mu did not hear her from inside the house. He was currently asking her daughter, "Wen Juan, do you want to study?"

When Madam Xu heard this, she shouted, "Come on, what kind of school is this, and besides, we can't afford it either. You earn more and more every year, only then will you be able to support Wen Bao in his studies.

The Master Mu sighed, "If you save your money and don't spend it, your days won't be easy."

Madam Xu was furious, she pulled her daughter down from the table and told her to go out to eat, then angrily said to his husband: "What, are you thinking about your daughter's one hundred silver betrothal gift? I raised her for more than ten years without spending any money or effort. Instead, you dug out her mother from the ground and asked her why she didn't take her daughter away cleanly. "I'm a stepmother, but I'm too hardworking to please you. Furthermore, I'm being pointed at everywhere. Am I that easy?"

Master Mu glanced at her: "Alright, why are you saying all this."

Madam Xu laughed and cried at the same time: "Are you alright? Open your eyes and take a look at who's running this house. You're making so much money, and if it wasn't for me saving money, my family would have collapsed a long time ago. I worked so hard, but no one said anything good about it. They even blamed me for hiding the silver and not spending it for your family, what do I need it for? It's all for your son, Wen Bao is a child of your Old Mu family. "

A good meal was boring. Master Mu put down his tableware, picked up a cigarette, and sighed: "Then what do you want to do? How can I be satisfied? You didn't like the Xiaowan in the past, and now that she is married, what are you doing? "

Madam Xu wiped away her tears and came over to say: "You saw how well I married her. Since that's the case, don't you think she should go and fix it at home? "You're her biological father. Go and ask her to send ten silver taels to our family every month."

"Ten taels a month?" "You're crazy!" The Master Mu said angrily, "I only earn so much a year."

"Isn't it because you earned less that I made you count on your daughter?" Madam Xu grabbed his arm and said, "Go ask her. She will definitely give it to you. Manager Ling is so rich."

The Master Mu snorted, knocked on the brick bed and said: "I was wondering, which one of the tendons is wrong, or did you see a hundred silver taels unable to move your legs, how did you marry Xiaowan to Ling Xiao Inn? No one in the Eight Mile Village doesn't know what kind of person the Manager Ling is, right? Think about it, if you continue to scheme and plot against the Xiaowan, touch your own neck, aren't you afraid that Ling Chaofeng will snap it with one hand? "

Madam Xu was shocked, her hands unconsciously covered her neck, and the scene of Wen Bao being lifted up and thrown onto the ground that day made her afraid even if she thought about it.

Master Mu said: "You must be thinking that since Ling Chaofeng is a man-eating monster who married Xiaowan, he will not live past a few years. Even if you were someone else's family, no one would be able to afford a hundred silver gifts. I never thought that it would be better than what you wish. The Xiaowan was truly lucky, the heavens had found a good man for her.

Madam Xu's face was flushed red as she said hatefully: "When it came to your mouth, it became like this. Why didn't you say anything?

Master Mu snorted: "It's easy for me to ask for money, but I'm not stupid. If you want to think this through, don't piss them off one day, and settle old debts with you. If you beat your child to death in the past, do you want to be whipped to death?"

Madam Xu looked at the man in a daze, and advised her: "I'm not scaring you, if you want to cause trouble, then go cause trouble. If worst comes to worst, I'll just go back and collect your corpse."

Hearing these words, the lady was scared stiff, after eating, she started discussing with the other family members, causing Aunt Wang to feel a chill down her spine, she said: "Xiaowan is so lucky, in the end your looks are still good, if not Ling Chaofeng would not be so compatible."

Madam Xu was furious: "Are we just going to let it go and let it go like this?

Aunt Wang rolled her eyes and said: "Xiaowan's heart is soft, even her ears and ears are soft. Let's slowly scheme, there must be a way, don't be anxious. As for her father, he's still her man after all. If you serve him well and he's happy, wouldn't he listen to you? "

The Madam Xu became even more unhappy and whispered, "Now that I'm old and can't get up at night, I hate them to the core."

The Aunt Wang laughed and the two of them whispered to each other. They discussed and went to the town to get some tonic medicine for the Master Mu.

In this side room, there were no customers at all in the inn as usual. After eating, Xiaowan and Aunt Zhang picked cotton from the backyard.

The Aunt Zhang said, "Aunt will make a new mattress on your bed. It's warm when you sleep in winter."

Xiaowan laughed: "When I came to the inn, I slept on a cotton mattress for the first time. In the past, when I lived in the woodshed, I slept on straw mattresses and never wore cotton clothes."

Aunt Zhang asked with a pained tone: "Then how do you live your winter?"

Xiaowan was not miserable at all. Instead, she smiled and said, "I used reeds to sew my clothes. I washed and dried all the feathers and ducks on the ground normally. In the winter, I sewed them into my clothes. It's very warm."

Aunt Zhang tried her best to insert the scissors into the wooden chair. His face turned green from hatred: "I didn't meet her last time, if I meet your stepmother next time, I will definitely tear off her face and kick her on the ground."

The Uncle Biao came at the right time and said smilingly: "Aiyo, who's bullying my wife. Tell me which one you want to kick."

Xiaowan laughed: "It's my fault for angering my aunt."

Aunt Zhang was still very angry: "Look at Susu's mother, she is also a stepmother. Auntie Chen is even risking her life for her stepdaughter.

Uncle Biao smiled and turned around, his hand caressing his wife's back. "Don't be angry, I will help you to ease the air."

Aunt Zhang blushed as she waved the scissors in front of him: "Get lost, don't get in my way."

Seeing the Uncle Biao obediently walking away, the Xiaowan giggled on the side. Thinking back to the first day she saw the Uncle Biao, carrying a gunny sack dripping with blood, thinking that he was going to transport the corpse to be buried, and then carrying half a big, bloody pig's hand to greet her. Such a crude and domineering manner, it was something that anyone would be afraid of.

But it was this kind of person who was so gentle and considerate towards his own wife and his own people. There were many wonderful things in the world and once someone stepped out of the Qingling Village, Xiaowan's horizons would be widened.

That night, the Uncle Biao cooked Sesame Rice Ball for supper. The Xiaowan carried the Sesame Rice Ball upstairs and when she entered the room, she saw Ling Chaofeng writing a letter to his. She asked, "Hubby, do you want to eat Sesame Rice Ball?"

Ling Chaofeng said: "I will come to eat after I write the letter, you eat first."

As a result, Xiaowan sat by the table and ate the white and fat Soup Dumplings one after another.

Only after arriving at the inn did he realize that there were so many delicious dishes in the world. Only then did he realize that he had a snack in the afternoon and that he could live such a good life if he was hungry at night.

After Ling Chaofeng finished writing the letter, Xiaowan also finished eating her Soup Dumplings. He sat down to eat supper, and when he saw that she was looking at him eagerly, she passed over the spoon. Xiaowan actually opened his mouth to eat it, but Ling Chaofeng instead retracted his hand and placed it into his mouth.

"Bullying …" The Xiaowan muttered. Ling Chaofeng teased her again, but before she could take back her hands, she grabbed onto both of them and forced them into her mouth.

"Later, when you become a little fatty, I'll be able to sell you." Ling Chaofeng said.

"You're the one who's reluctant." Xiaowan ate the Soup Dumplings and carefully savored it. After she was done eating, he said, "I'll eat less tomorrow."

Ling Chaofeng said that he was writing a letter to the capital to settle Susu's matters. Xiaowan had heard of everything, so naturally, she did not ask about it, but she had something she was curious about.

"Aunt dotes on me. I almost think of her as my mother." The Xiaowan said, "At first, I thought Ershan was the son of my aunt and uncle, but that's not it. Husband, my aunt and my Uncle Biao are so fond of each other, why aren't they giving birth, or are they not here?"

Ling Chaofeng asked: "Have you asked Aunt Zhang before?"

Xiaowan shook her head: "I'm too embarrassed to ask."

Ling Chaofeng said: "The time has come, and the time has come. They will naturally tell you why. Although I can tell you, I think it would be better if you let them say it themselves. "

Xiaowan asked again, "What about Ershan, is he also a fatherless child?"

Ling Chaofeng laughed: "Why do you have so many questions tonight?"

Xiaowan said, "If it was you who wasn't curious, I would have married into your family for a long time already and only then would I know where you came from. We will always be together from now on, and sooner or later you would have to tell me."

Ling Chaofeng stroked her head: "Because they all love you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doors of the inn were knocked so hard that it rumbled. Who was it now that it was the middle of the night? Xiaowan did not wait to go downstairs before saying to Ling Chaofeng, "Master, I will not meddle in your business."

Ershan had already opened the door and barged in, the young lady was dressed nicely, but looked exhausted. He took out a piece of silver and placed it on the table and said: "Buddy, please find a room, I want to stay here."

Xiaowan stood on top of the building and looked at her.
