In her previous life, Cheng Wanwan didn't have a big appetite, and one bowl of rice was enough.
But since I came to Dahe Village, I have been doing farm work every day, and I feel hungry easily when I am tired, so my appetite has gradually grown.
Today's dumplings were delicious. Eating them with so many people made her feel even better. She ate nearly twenty dumplings in a row, and her belly became bulging.
"Auntie." Cao Yingying sat down next to her, "The Cao family's trouble today is all because of me. I will go back to the Cao family tomorrow and convince my stepmother to come and apologize in person."
Cheng Wanwan put down her chopsticks and said sternly: "Your stepmother is worried about not being able to catch you. If you go back now, wouldn't it be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth? Listen to my aunt and live well in Dahe Village. When your father comes back, I will I’ll take you back personally.”
"This time something happened to Mrs. Xu in Dahe Village, my stepmother will not give up so easily. I don't want to implicate my aunt, nor do I want to implicate so many people in Dahe Village." Cao Yingying lowered her head, "This is everything I should face. It’s time to go back. Thank you for taking care of me for so many days. I am very happy here..."
Zhao Ergou came over at some point: "Let me go with you. If you encounter danger, I can pull you to escape together..."
"Hey, Zhao Ergou, when did your relationship with Cao Yingying become so good?" Shen Zheng's eyes rolled, "Tell me quickly, what did you do behind my back?"
Zhao Ergou's face suddenly turned red.
Cao Yingying's fair and pretty cheeks also turned a bit shy.
Fortunately, the night had darkened and Shen Zheng didn't see it.
But Cheng Wanwan had a panoramic view of the two people's expressions, and she just wanted to say "good guy."
The second son, this bitch, started too quickly. In less than a month, he actually captured the heart of the little girl.
The Cao family... was a wealthy family in a nearby county or town. They had so much money that even the magistrate of the county was afraid of them.
It seems that this boy's love journey will be full of ups and downs.
Cheng Wanwan glanced at her second son with sympathy. Although she had lived a long life, she had never been in love, so she really couldn't help him.
Whether he can marry the little girl back depends on the boy's ability.
but--
If one day comes, it will not be appropriate for Cao Yingying to live at home anymore. This will easily leave a source of gossip and affect the child's reputation.
Shen Zheng looked at Zhao Ergou and suddenly realized: "I'll tell you, this kid like you probably likes..."
"Xiao Zheng." Cheng Wanwan interrupted, "Go and bring a bowl of dumplings over. I want to eat two more."
Shen Zheng immediately forgot what he was going to say and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go right away."
He was obedient, took the bowl, and went to fill the big pot over there with dumplings.
Cheng Wanwan pulled Cao Yingying and said, "Hui Niang is about to give birth. I happen to be going to the city tomorrow to find a reliable stable woman. You can come with me and first find out how yesterday's incident was handled. , and see if you want to go back."
Cao Yingying's tears fell down in a flash.
She actually didn't dare to go home alone, but she had to go back. She couldn't hurt everyone in Dahe Village anymore.
It just so happened that the imperial edict came today. If the imperial edict had not come, someone in Dahe Village would definitely be injured... No, my aunt was injured. There was a small cut on her arm. If the knife had been used harder, my aunt's arm might have been destroyed. ... She didn't dare to take any more risks, she didn't want to put these people who were good to her in danger.
"Yingying, stop crying..." Cheng Wanwan wiped her tears, "As long as you stand up for yourself, no one will dare to bully you in the future. The hard days are over, and every day of your life will be a good day. "
"Aunt..."
Cao Yingying collapsed and cried, throwing herself into Cheng Wanwan's arms.
The women who were gossiping in the yard suddenly fell silent.
Because there was an imperial edict today, they all ignored one thing for a while, that is, the niece from her natal family that Dashan Niang mentioned was actually the daughter of the Cao family in Hekou County!
No wonder when I saw Cao Yingying for the first time, I felt that she was different. It turned out that she was really a lady.
Although they were envious of the Cao family's wealth, they also sympathized with Cao Yingying's plight. Rich families had many women in the back house, and there were too many conspiracies and intrigues. However, the people in their village were simple and honest, and would scold anyone who was unhappy. If you say that, at most there will be another fight, and there will never be any secret persecution anyway...
Aunt Wang asked Granny Zhang curiously: "The Zheng family is also a wealthy family, right? Xiuhong married, and there are a lot of women in the yard. Will these women hurt me every day, and will I hurt you?"
Mrs. Zhang twitched her lips and said, "Master Zheng only has three concubines, don't think too complicated."
Big Tou Niang said: "Two women can cause trouble, let alone three women. I don't know how lively the backyard will be."
"Hmph, I think you just don't want to see my niece!" Mrs. Zhang snorted, "When Master Zheng becomes a senior official in high school in the future, my niece will be the official's wife. When the time comes, you will have to kneel down when you see the official's wife!"
"Tsk!" Li Zheng's wife came over, "Dashan Niang is a serious official now, so we don't need to kneel down. When will your niece get an official status, don't make such big talk!"
"That's right!" Ms. Sun curled her lips, "My sister-in-law is much better than your niece. My sister-in-law is a Suiru native named by the emperor. She is the ninth-grade imperial concubine. My sister-in-law doesn't even know how to play the zither. What are you trying to do... "
Mrs. Sun talked about my sister-in-law, leaving everyone speechless.
In the past, Mrs. Sun would speak ill of Dashan Niang from time to time, and she would often get into trouble with Dashan Niang. Everyone in the village knew about this.
Now that Dashan Niang had become the imperial wife, Sun's face immediately changed, and everyone didn't know what to say.
However, Mrs. Zhao was very pleased. She took the opportunity to say: "As long as you know how good your sister-in-law is, it means that you are not too stupid. If you dare to cause trouble and sow discord in the future, get out of our Zhao family. The honor of the Zhao family will not be the same." It doesn’t matter to you either…”
"Oh mother, there are so many people watching. Let's talk about these things when we go back." Mrs. Sun smiled and hugged Mrs. Zhao's arm. "I will definitely be obedient and try to give birth to a grandson for our old Zhao family!"
Aunt Wang said: "They say sour food and spicy food. Do you like sour food or spicy food these days?"
Mrs. Sun licked her mouth. Although her mother-in-law refused to eat the spicy snails that day, she still asked Zhao Youcai to secretly leave three for her. The spiciness was so good that three were not enough... She loved eating it so much. It’s spicy. There’s not a girl in your belly!
"I, I like to eat sour food!" Sun said dryly, "The most sour hawthorn, I really like it!"
Zhu Huzi took out a hawthorn from his pocket and handed it over: "There are not many left on the mountain. I finally found two. Aunt Zhao, I will give them to you."
Mrs. Sun took it and took a bite. Oh, mother, it didn't kill her. She opened her mouth and wanted to spit it out, but she held it back.
In order to give birth to a son, she had to eat sour food and swallow it no matter how sour it was.
Old Mrs. Zhao really doesn’t know what to say. This third daughter-in-law is annoying, has a thick skin, and is petty. She hopes that giving birth to a son will make the third daughter-in-law more generous...
