The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 250 Old Wang Helps His Boss Vent His Anger
There is a shortcut from Xiashan Village, where Liu's maternal home is located in Nanhe Town. It only takes two hours to get there by mule cart.

Old Wang expected to return in the afternoon, but when he went to Xiashan Village, he overheard several gossipy old women making snide remarks in front of Liu's house.

It's nothing more than Old Liu going to Old Wang's house with great anticipation, working for half a month, but in the end, he didn't get anything in return.

"Others go there to do short-term jobs, half a month's work, at 20 coins a day, that's over a hundred coins! You guys, on the other hand, go there and get nothing, what's the point?"

"That's right. I heard that Old Wang's family is desperately poor. You guys probably didn't go to help with the harvest, but secretly went to give them some aid, right?"

"To be honest, Auntie, once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup. You don't need to worry about her life or death anymore. You have so many children, why worry so much? Won't your two daughters-in-law gossip? Be careful that when you get old, your two daughters-in-law are petty and don't take care of you in your old age. You'll have nowhere to cry then!"

Several old women stood at the door, talking amongst themselves, making Qin's face turn pale and then red.

Qin was a gentle person who rarely gossiped with her neighbors, and even when they did argue, it was always a mild argument.

She never spoke her mind, so there were signs of pent-up emotions before. If it weren't for the water that Xiao Ayu brought her, Qin Shi probably wouldn't be alive now.

Instead, it was the eldest daughter-in-law, Yang, who stepped forward, frowning as she said, "Aunt Wu, Aunt Ma, if you're really bored, there are still a few plots of wasteland in the village that no one is clearing now. Why don't you take your hoes and clear them? Maybe next year your family will have another piece of fertile land."

The two aunts whose names were called looked displeased: "Why should we go clear wasteland? We don't need that kind of food at home!"

“Our family is not lacking anything, so we don’t need to covet the food from our married-out sister-in-law’s family!” Madam Yang still smiled, supporting Madam Qin with one hand while her other hand was already closing the door.

The two women took a step back: "What do you mean by this?"

Yang: "Oh, I was just about to close the door. After all, these are all family matters that need to be discussed behind closed doors. I'm sure you two aunts aren't disgusting, foul-mouthed dogs. You should understand these things, right?"

They spoke with utmost sincerity, and the insults they hurled didn't seem to be directed at them, but when they heard them, it didn't feel right.

Several gossipy women left in a huff, but they still couldn't swallow their anger. So they started grumbling again on the road at the village entrance, saying that Old Liu's family was just bored and had nothing better to do than run off to help a relative's family.

In the end, not only did they get nothing, they also had to swallow their pride and pretend to be magnanimous.

"No wonder their youngest daughter ran away; she's probably being bullied to death and doesn't even know how to say a word!" those people said righteously.

This infuriated Old Wang, who overheard the conversation, so he drove his mule cart around the village.

When asked, he would pretend to be lost and unable to find Lao Liu's house, and then say, "I am here on behalf of Lao Wang's family in Hujia Village, Nanhe Town, to deliver a thank-you gift to Lao Liu's family."

Everyone craned their necks to see what was inside the mule cart.

Old Wang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing valuable, just some grain, seeds, pork, pheasants and the like."

Actually, Old Wang was being conservative; there were also bolts of cloth, flour, ten pairs of shoe soles, and so on—enough to fill a whole mule cart.

Over the past three years, Liu has visited her parents' home the least, and she hasn't brought back much stuff.

This time, it turned out that the Liu family came to help, and Old Mrs. Wang naturally wouldn't treat them unfairly.

Even if she and Old Man Liu didn't get along, they wouldn't skimp on this basic courtesy.

The villagers were stunned; this was the first time they had ever seen someone use a mule cart to carry gifts.

Goodness gracious, how much of a gift is required to warrant using a car?

However, Old Wang didn't open it for them to see. After being given directions, he went straight to Old Liu's house.

Qin and the others were completely bewildered. After learning that Old Wang was the head of the Wang family, they quickly invited him inside.

Then they sent someone to call back Old Liu, who was working outside.

So, Old Wang, who had helped the Liu family get revenge, was kept on.

Old Liu, who didn't particularly like Old Wang in the first place, awkwardly insisted on having two drinks with Old Wang at the dinner table, and even clamored to let him stay at his house for a few days.

Old Wang didn't stay; he simply delivered the things and told them that they could send the three children to town, and that his Wang family would pay for them to study there for a year.

If they were willing, they could even send the girl over. Anyway, the Wang family's yard is big enough for them to squeeze in.

Unlike my hometown, where everyone lives in cramped conditions.

Old Wang thought that the Liu family would be very happy and agree to the terms.

"They didn't agree, but the kids were interested. Old Liu said it wasn't necessary for now." Back home, Old Wang told his wife what had happened, looking a little guilty. "Old woman, I couldn't help but brag a bit. You won't be mad at me, will you?"

Grandma Wang glanced at him and said, "You did a great job."

Old Wang was so pleased with the praise that his mouth practically stretched to the back of his head.

The Wang family will rise slowly, gradually building up their influence through several in-law relationships, which is a good thing.

Otherwise, they might hold us back in the future.

As long as it's not too high-profile, it's fine.

Moreover, it had been a long time since Old Mrs. Wang had seen Old Mr. Wang looking so spirited and energetic.

It was as if he had done something incredibly important.

It was nothing more than giving their in-laws a moment of glory.

It's true that as people get older, their aspirations become lower.

Ever since Xiao Ayu fainted once, Liu Shi has put aside her family affairs a little. She follows Xiao Ayu every day when she goes out, and waits for her at the entrance of the private school when she gets off school.

Anyway, I have to stay with her every step of the way.

Madam Yang simply said to Liu, "Why don't you try teaching the children? I'll give you 200 coins a month, and you can stop whenever you want."

The main issue is that Madam Yang, who was previously unable to conceive, has suddenly been found to be pregnant again. When Mr. Yang and Madam Yang asked the doctor, the doctor said that Madam Yang's health had improved and that her previous difficulty in conceiving had somehow disappeared, so she naturally became pregnant.

The couple were naturally both happy and afraid.

I'm afraid of something going wrong, so I don't dare to overwork myself.

On ordinary days, Mrs. Yang would teach the children to recognize objects, and sometimes she would teach them to hoe the ground and identify plants. This was a curriculum for young children.

At first, Liu was afraid, as she had never taught children before.

Later, she discovered that Xiao Ayu was exceptionally active in class and could also apply what she learned to other situations.

The joy of teaching was immediately ignited.

After discussing it with Old Mrs. Wang, Liu...

Thus, she officially became the young female teacher at the Yang family's private school.

The term "small" is what people use to distinguish it from how Madam Yang addresses her.

After all, Liu had never been to school, and all she taught her children was how to recognize objects.

Now she had even more reason to pick up and drop off Xiao Ayu every day, and Liu's worries were quietly put to rest.

Time flew by, and before long, it was time for Murong Run to attend the flower-viewing banquet.

He arrived in Wanning City half a month early, bought two courtyards there, and learned a little about the local customs and culture before finally waiting for the day of the flower viewing banquet.

Murong Run thought that after entering the Duke of Yong's mansion, he would definitely see the Empress, but he did not expect to see someone he thought he would never see.
