The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

As Xu Yingtao stepped into the main room, the first thing she saw was a short and fat boy who was holding the egg tarts and fruits on the table and eating them with hearty mouthfuls of crumbs all over his body.

Compared to two and a half years ago, the boy had grown a lot, but Xu Yingtao still recognized him at a glance: he was the original body's nephew Xu Xizhuang.

Calculating his age, Xu Xizhuang is already seven years old.

The couple standing next to the boy and smiling apologetically to Jiang were naturally the original body's brother and sister-in-law - Xu Dalang and Wang.

Jiang had seen the scar on Xu Yingtao's arm before and knew that it was caused by the burns caused by Xu Dalang and his wife using fire tongs. Naturally, she didn't look happy when facing them again.

Xu Dalang and Wang Shi did not seem to notice Jiang Shi's dissatisfaction. They continued to call her "Auntie" and seemed extremely affectionate.

When they saw Xu Yingtao appear, they were stunned at first, and then came forward enthusiastically.

"You girl, you have become a village lady, but you didn't even know to write a letter home. My brother heard about this from other people, and the villagers laughed at you for a long time!" Xu Dalang said with pretended anger.

Xu Yingtao smiled wryly and said, "Even if I send the letter, can you read?"

Xu Dalang choked, then smiled and said, "A verbal message is also fine."

"But I remember that when I got married, you told me in person that whether I lived or died from now on would have nothing to do with you." There was a hint of sarcasm in Xu Yingtao's tone.

Xu Dalang thought to himself, that’s because I thought you were not doing well and would come to your mother’s house to beg for money.

If he had known that his sister was so lucky now, he would not have said it so decisively.

Wang wiped her tears and tried to save some face: "Sister, I know you still blame us in your heart, but think about it, if your elder brother and I hadn't arranged this marriage for you, how could you have met the Grand Tutor and been named a Lady by the Emperor?"

Xu Yingtao said in a cold tone: "So, I should thank you properly?"

Seeing this, Wang immediately put on a smiling face and said, "That's not necessary. As long as you can remember the good things between me and your elder brother, that's enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xizhuang had already finished the last egg tart on the plate and started to make a fuss: "I want more! I want more!"

Jiang Daya was not aware of the grudges between the two families. In addition, she was busy in the kitchen. When she heard Xu Xizhuang crying, she hurriedly packed another plate of snacks and milk tea and went out to coax the child.

She hates to see children cry.

However, when Xu Xizhuang saw that the plate contained hawthorn cake instead of egg tart, he immediately got angry and pushed the cup and plate hard.

Jiang Daya managed to hold the plate steadily, but the milk tea spilled all over her.

"Snapped--!"

Xu Yingtao slapped Xu Xizhuang in the face.

This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had ever hit a child.

Even though he knew beating children was wrong, ever since he saw the family of three, the memories of his original self came flooding back like a tide, churning in his mind.

In fact, Xu Xizhuang was raised by the original body, but he doesn't know how to be grateful at all.

Having witnessed his parents abusing his aunt since he was a child, he followed suit and bullied the original person even more severely.

These included but were not limited to throwing dirt into the porridge that was already barely filling, intentionally wetting her bedding, and even setting her hair on fire.

At that time, I was living under someone else's roof, and I lived cautiously. How could I dare to resist at all?

Even if she cried out in pain, Wang would curse her and say she was pretending, and then she would be beaten severely and finally punished by not being allowed to eat.

This kind of growing environment made the original person develop an extremely timid and submissive character.

However, Xu Yingtao will not spoil an unruly child.

She used all her strength in this slap, directly knocking out five or six of Xu Xizhuang's already loose baby teeth.

As the only child in the family, Xu Xizhuang has never suffered any grievances since he was a child.

He was suddenly slapped in the face. He was stunned for a moment, and then when he came to his senses, he started crying loudly.

Xu Dalang and Wang were heartbroken, but they dared not move at all.

Because Chun Sanniang and Zhang Haonu had already pulled out the cold swords from their sheaths. As long as they dared to pounce on Xu Yingtao, the swords would surely cut off their heads.

Xu Yingtao was annoyed by the crying of the naughty child. She picked up the dirty hawthorn cake on the ground and stuffed it directly into Xu Xizhuang's mouth, choking him and causing him to stop crying.

Then, she wiped her tears and snot on him with disgust.

Wang was extremely anxious, her voice was filled with tears: "Sister, what are you doing? Our family of three has come all the way to wish you a happy new year. If you dislike our poor relatives, just say so. Why do you have to torture the children like this!"

Xu Yingtao's eyes revealed a bit of coldness: "I just slapped him, and you said I abused him. How did you treat me in the first place?"

Wang felt guilty and did not dare to respond.

Xu Dalang stretched his neck and said with forced toughness: "No matter what, I am your elder brother. An elder brother is like a father, and an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I have the right to teach you a lesson... Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Let me go!"

Before he could finish his words, Chun Sanniang grabbed him by the collar with one hand and threw him out of the yard like garbage. He fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

Wang screamed "Boss" in horror and hurriedly chased after him.

Xu Yingtao lowered her eyes and looked at Xu Xizhuang who was standing there in a daze. She smiled and said, "Do you want to get out of here or not? If not, I'll have this aunt chop you up and feed you to the dogs."

As she spoke, she pointed at Zhang Haonu who was holding a sharp knife.

Xu Xizhuang was so scared that he screamed and ran out crying.

After the family of three was forced to leave, Xu Yingtao called Chun Sanniang and Zhang Haonu and handed them a letter.

"Please both of you go to Wufeng Town and find out whether Xu Dalang is using my name to make money. If this is true, go find Zou Yanming and ask him to find a way to deal with this family."

Although she had only spent less than five minutes with the family of three, Xu Yingtao was sharp-eyed enough to notice the jade bracelet Wang had hidden under her sleeve, and the edge of Xu Xizhuang's inner collar that had been accidentally exposed, which was clearly silk.

Xu Yingtao knew very well what kind of people her original family was like.

It is absolutely impossible to live a rich and prosperous life in just two or three years.

I'm afraid the couple has done a lot of bad things in her name.

Jiang was shocked: "Cherry, you can't kill anyone!"

She was not defending Xu Dalang's family, but was worried that killing her own brother would damage Xu Yingtao's good deeds.

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. Killing people is against the law. I dare not do that."
