On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

There is not much description about the couple in the original book. Chen Yunye's mother was married to Mr. Chen after he became rich.

At that time, Mrs. Liu was already middle-aged and had only one son. Mr. Chen felt that his offspring were too few, so he thought of taking a concubine.

Mr. Chen had lived in a wealthy family in the capital, and having been influenced by the environment, he thought that taking a concubine was the most common thing.

Even though Liu was unwilling, it was a fact that she had difficulty getting pregnant in her middle age. She had no choice but to give her maid Cui'er to him as a concubine.

Unfortunately, Cui'er was not blessed. Although she gave birth to a son, she caught a cold on the way back home and died within a few days.

Therefore, Chen Yunye learned to read people's faces since he was a child, but his biological mother was ultimately through Liu.

Therefore, although Chen Yunye was also a concubine's son, his situation was much better than that of Chen Yunyou, whose biological mother was unknown!

You will not be deliberately treated poorly by the servants.

In the original text, Chen Mingyuan took the imperial examination, and when old man Chen was still alive, he was naturally in charge of the family's land.

After Mr. Chen passed away, Song Xile reasonably suspected that the second branch must have taken over the management.

However, as long as Chen Mingyuan is alive, he will never be the real owner of these lands, and he will never get any share of them.

To put it bluntly, Chen Yunye is just a manager whose fate is slightly better than that of a farmhand!

Although she didn't finish reading the original text, if she were asked to put herself in the other person's shoes, who wouldn't want to have their own family business?

Who wants to live a life of dependence on others all their life?

In the original book, Chen Yunye had no strength to compete with the first wife, and after Chen Mingyuan passed the imperial examination, his hope became completely slim.

Now that she is here, Yun You's health will improve, and he will be able to successfully take the imperial examination. By then...

I just don't know whether the second wife will willingly follow the first wife's instructions as written in the book!

When a person sees no hope, he can still keep to himself.

But once there are enough benefits in front of him, everyone will want to fight for it.

On the other side, Wang returned to the yard, but did not go back to her room to mend clothes as she had said. Instead, she went to the utility room and found her husband weaving a bamboo basket.

Wang grabbed the bamboo basket from her husband's hand and said with interest, "Oh, don't be busy yet. My third brother's wife showed off her power outside again today!"

Chen Yunye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, as if he was also interested, "Tell me about it!"

Wang then excitedly told the story of how Song Xile was being rushed to help by a woman at the river today, and how he was later invited to the clan leader's house for medical treatment.

"I heard from many people in the village a few days ago that the clan leader might be seriously ill!"

"If the third sister-in-law can cure the clan leader's illness, she will have a firm foothold in our Xixi Village. Just wait and see. Whenever she calls out in the village, I don't know how many people will be willing to help her!"

Chen Yunye glanced at his wife and said, "It can only be said that everyone wants to be on good terms with her and doesn't want to offend her. If it touches on matters of interest, it's hard to say!"

Wang murmured, "That would be great!" She thought that she had been married to Xixi Village for so many years, but had not received any favor from so many young wives in the village.

Are you still rushing to help with the laundry?

She had never seen such treatment before.

But it happened to my third brother's wife.

As a concubine's daughter-in-law, she was also not liked by her mother-in-law. How much hardship did she endure when she first married into this family!

Because her natal family was weak, she dared not resist and could only let Liu torture her.

She did everything, such as getting up early to prepare breakfast and washing clothes for the whole family. She lived like this for two years.

Especially in the second year, when she was pregnant, the way her mother-in-law stared at her belly scared her.

She had been bullied by Liu over the years and was afraid of her, so she didn't dare to overstep the line with her.

She ate whatever was in the kitchen, not to mention growing vegetables in the yard like the third brother and his friends.

She was afraid to even cook in her own small kitchen.

Perhaps her obedience satisfied Liu, or perhaps it was because she only gave birth to a girl. After she gave birth, Liu was no longer as harsh to her as before.

She envied the third brother's wife from the bottom of her heart. As a daughter-in-law, how could she receive so many preferential treatments?

Chen Yunye looked at his wife's wandering look and knew that she was thinking about the bad things that happened in the past.

He cleared his throat and said, "Don't get involved in everything. Don't let others use you as a tool without realizing it!"

"You should have seen that the third son's wife is not someone who is willing to suffer a loss. Even when my mother was against her, she didn't end up well. Wouldn't it be a pity for you to go there?"

Wang was enlightened by her husband's words, and it was indeed true.

As long as they don't mess with the other two families and live a peaceful and law-abiding life, no one can find fault with them.

Chen Yunye saw that his wife had listened to him and would not go to cause trouble for others, so he continued to analyze the situation for his wife:

"For now, let's wait and see what happens. We must not offend either side!"

Wang looked at her husband's gloomy face.

I couldn't help but reach out and squeeze my husband's hand, "Don't worry, I know what you mean!"

She knew how much her husband had endured over the years. Having lived under the intimidation of the eldest wife since childhood, she had long since learned to read people's expressions and be cautious.

But her family is powerless. Not only can she not support her husband, but she also has to rely on his support every year to support the whole family.

The husband is not a very smart man and can only rely on the family property to make a living. He dare not easily touch the reverse scale of the first wife.

It’s not easy to live a life where you have to please other people and depend on them for support!

For no reason, Wang suddenly felt a surge of hope in her heart, hoping that the third wife could suppress the first wife!

At least from what I've observed these days, this third brother's wife is a kind and righteous person. If she gains power in the future, at least they won't live so cautiously, right?

While the couple was talking in private, Old Man Chen came back from outside with a gloomy face.

He just went to a nearby village to check on the growth of crops, and when he came back he heard that the third daughter-in-law had cured the Chen clan leader.

Of course he was aware of the news that the old man was seriously ill, and he was secretly happy for a while. He hoped that the old man would die of his illness.

After he dies, the position of patriarch will inevitably fall to me.

But now his third daughter-in-law has interfered and his beautiful fantasy has been shattered. How can he not be depressed?

When he returned to the main room, he and his wife had a big tantrum, "Didn't I tell you to discipline our third daughter-in-law? Why do you let her run around the village all day long?"

Liu did not respond to her husband's criticism. She snorted, "I am in charge of everything, but how can I control others coming to my house?"

"You agreed to marry the third brother's wife. If you are not satisfied, just let him divorce her. Why are you getting angry with me?"

Liu just wanted his husband to see the situation clearly and know that those two people were not on the same page with him.

If he waits for the two of them to grow up, he will see what he can still use to control them.

Old Master Chen knew that his wife was blaming him for trying to create some kind of checks and balances. Now that someone had done something that was not in his interest, how could she admit it?
