Yun Tao just listened to Old Lady Wang quietly, but still didn't say anything. She drank her tea leisurely, waiting for Old Lady Wang to speak on her own initiative.

Old Lady Wang was furious when she saw Yun Tao's leisurely appearance. She thought to herself, "This damn woman, I spoke to her so humbly, but she didn't respond. I also gave you so many eggs, which cost more than 100 coins."

And the two big roosters can be sold for one or two taels of silver in the town. This dead woman really doesn't know what's good for her. If this succeeds, I will control you. You will never escape from my palm.

Old Mrs. Wang couldn't hold back her anger any longer: "Tao'er, our family is struggling to make ends meet, but we are all family after all. I heard that your family members are also doing work in your workshop. I heard from people in the village that you have contracted out the production of potato chips, French fries, bamboo tubes, preserved eggs, etc. to your three brothers, right?"

Yun Tao looked at Old Madam Yun calmly and said, "Yes, I made them all for my mother's family."

After Yun Tao said this, she didn't say anything else.

Old Mrs. Wang was extremely embarrassed. She didn't know whether to leave or not. She hadn't achieved her goal, and she would rather die in Yuntao's house.

"Tao'er, see if you can assign some work to our Wang family. After all, we are the direct descendants. I am also the grandmother of Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu, and Dali is his uncle. If I live well, won't you live well too? People in the village will praise you for being filial, and your reputation will be good too. Then it will be easier for the three brothers to find good wives, which will be good for them too."

Yuntao was very pleased to see Old Lady Wang being humble and submissive. This old woman has finally come to this day. She used to bully us mothers when she was in the Wang family. Now she knows how good we are.

Yun Tao replied calmly, "Grandma Wang, it's not that I don't want to do it for you, it's that I can't do it for you. Although the workshop is up and running now, our big blue brick and tile house has been built, and we have some money coming in every month. But business is not good now. You can go to the town and see that as long as it is done by us, there are people in the town who are doing it. If it is done for you, then what we do will be done by the workers below. Will you pay the workers? When the time comes, will the people in your Wang family pay for the wedding of Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu?"

When Old Lady Wang heard these words, she didn't know how to respond.

Old Lady Wang looked at Yun Tao cautiously: "Tao'er, it was our old Wang family who was wrong before. We shouldn't have treated you like that. We shouldn't have ordered your third room around like that. But we did it for your own good. Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu were too naughty at that time, and boys are not very obedient and don't accept discipline. So we helped you discipline them well, and we had no other intentions."

"Look at the three brothers now. They are very popular in the surrounding area. Many girls are attracted to them. It's all thanks to our Wang family's good discipline."

Yun Tao said to Old Lady Wang, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe being thick-skinned and shameless in such a refreshing and refined way. Our Da Niu, Er Niu, and San Niu are all capable and obedient children. Even if they are not in your Wang's house, they are still the best."

"Old Lady Wang: I'll tell you straight. You can take the things, but I, Yuntao, won't take advantage of you, and I won't share the work with you. Why shouldn't I keep the profitable work for myself, why should I give it to you? When you treated us like that, why didn't you think that we would be prosperous now, and our lives would get better and better? Now that we are doing well, your whole Wang family has come to beg for money."

"However, Old Lady Wang, I don't know whether to say that you are unlucky, stupid, or thick-skinned. You clearly know that the relationship between our two families is not good, and seeing how you are humble, you should know that coming to me may not be a good thing. You are still brave enough to come here and suffer, and I admire you."

Yun Tao continued to say to Old Lady Wang, "You don't know how many men you have in your family. They are all big and strong, stronger than the other, and eat more than the other. They are all idlers who do not work. Why do you keep them? Besides, it's not easy to be a punching bag here. Dali, Erli, and several good grandchildren in your family don't come. Your powerful eldest daughter-in-law doesn't come either. Only you, an old lady who is about to be buried, come here to be a punching bag every day. Your family is really filial. You are all half buried in the loess. Isn't it good to let yourself be quiet and enjoy a little peace and happiness every day? You have to be so naughty and make trouble. I'm afraid that if you continue to be naughty, you will be accompanied by the loess. Don't you think so, my dear ex-mother-in-law?"

When Mrs. Wang heard what Yuntao said, she was almost so angry that she sent Yuntao away. But she still pretended to be nice and said, "Tao'er, it's not like that. We used to have a good relationship. I remember all the kindness you showed me. Look at the eggs laid by our old hens. We couldn't bear to eat them, so we gave them all to your third room. Look at these two big roosters. They are really big. They crow every morning. They crow loudly. Many people in the village like our big roosters very much. I kept them specially for you."

Old Mrs. Wang smiled very flatteringly.

Yun Tao looked at the old face, which was as thick as the Great Wall, and was speechless.

At this time, Daniel came in.

"Mom, I just bought these things in town. You can see where I can put them."

Old Mrs. Wang kept swallowing her saliva as she looked at these things.

Fragrant roast duck, flavored shrimp, Dongpo pork elbow, brown sugar, Dingsheng cake, a large pot of rice wine, pear strips and other snacks and some delicious dishes.

Daniu continued, "These roast ducks and some dishes were sent by the owner of Zhenwei Restaurant. They are new dishes. He said he would give us a few to try, and these snacks were bought by you. I spent 7 taels of silver in total, and I still have 5 taels of silver left."

Yun Tao took in Mrs. Wang's expression and said, "Okay, go down and leave it here first. Anyway, our family will need to eat later. The rest of the money can be used as your pocket money. You can use it to buy some food or snacks. You can spend it as you like. Mother won't care about it."

When Mrs. Wang heard these words, she was about to say something, but when she thought of the purpose of coming here, she held back.

"Tao'er, can your family finish so many things? There are only four of you in total. These things will go bad if left for too long. No one in our family has ever eaten these things, and they look good at first glance." After saying this, Old Mrs. Wang licked her lips.

When Daniu saw the expression on Old Lady Wang’s face, he simply couldn’t bear it anymore and walked out directly.

Old Lady Wang: "This child, he didn't even call out to his grandmother when he saw her. He is really becoming more and more disrespectful."

Yuntao glanced at Old Lady Wang, and she immediately stopped talking.

"If you want to eat, just go buy it yourself. If I remember correctly, your family should have at least thirty or forty taels of silver. Even if not, your family has one of the most abundant fields in the village. Not only that, but they are all fertile fields. Or you can sell it to me. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a good price."
