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

"look by youself!"

Chen threw the ball of mulberry leaves at Jiang's feet. Her eyes widened and her face became ferocious. "Jiang, you really raised a good son. He knows how to hurt people at such a young age. He will definitely not be a good person when he grows up! Call out that little beast, and I will clean up the Xie family today!"

Jiang bent down, picked up the ball of mulberry leaves and opened them. She saw a crushed mulberry fruit wrapped in the leaves. The whole leaf was covered with mucus, which was very disgusting.

Farmers are not afraid of insects, but they will try to hide from the moth if they encounter it. After all, being stung by this thing can cause unbearable pain and extreme itching at the very least, and redness, swelling and fever at the worst.

Jiang didn't understand what was going on. Just as she was about to ask what had happened, she saw Chen drag Xie Bao to her and yell at him, "Lower your head and let your second aunt see what your cousin has done!"

Xie Bao stopped howling since he entered the yard. Although the spicy chicken had been put away, the faint aroma still lingered in his nose, making him forget the pain.

At this moment, he heard his mother asking him to lower his head, and he subconsciously lowered his head, revealing the back of his neck that had not been washed for years and was dark.

Jiang lowered her eyes and saw a row of eye-catching blisters, which were obviously the result of being "kissed" by the chili pepper.

Inside the house, Xu Yingtao asked Xie Bai in a low voice: "Xiao Bai, did you really sting him with chili peppers?"

Xie Bai lowered his eyebrows and nodded after a while: "Sister-in-law, he kept chasing me and wanted to overturn the bowl. I really couldn't do anything."

Xu Yingtao reached out and patted his head a few times, comforting him: "It's okay. You are a good kid if you have the courage to admit your behavior. I always help my relatives instead of others. Let's just take this as revenge for last year. If he dares to provoke me next time, continue to beat him up!"

"Yes, keep beating!" Xie Li echoed, waving his fist.

Xie Bai opened his eyes wide, full of astonishment. He thought that he would be blamed by his family for causing trouble, but it would be fine for his sister. He didn't expect that his sister-in-law would defend him like this.

Xu Yingtao continued to encourage, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either. There's no reason to swallow your anger when you're bullied. You've done a great job."

"Yes! Well done!" Xie Li was very supportive.

Xie Bai suddenly grinned and walked out of the main door. Xu Yingtao tried to stop him but failed.

Why is this kid so fierce?!

She hurriedly followed him out, and Xie Li followed closely behind.

"Aunt, it was wrong of me to throw chilies at Xie Bao. I apologize to him." Xie Bao admitted his mistake sincerely.

Chen didn't care what he said at all. When she saw him come out, she jumped up and rushed towards him: "You little bastard! I'm going to skin you alive today!" She looked like she wanted to eat Xie Bai alive.

Seeing this, Jiang hurried to stop them. Xu Yingtao also picked up a carrying pole and stood in front of Xie Bai. Xie Li couldn't find any suitable tools for a while, so he simply picked up the basket and planned to push it against Chen.

Seeing the family's big reaction, Chen quickly retreated, gritting her teeth and said, "You are really turning the tables on Tian Gang. The one who harmed others is riding on the victim's head. Come on, hit me on the head if you dare! I want to see who dares to hit me!"

She pointed at her forehead and glared at the four people fiercely, her expression full of disdain, as if she was sure that this family was just bluffing.

Xu Yingtao didn't know what others thought, but she didn't dare to criticize Chen.

He was really a coward. After all, his body was so thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind. If they really started fighting, he would be no match for Chen. Besides, he was not in the right in the matter of the foreigner.

Besides, if she really hit them with the carrying pole, Chen would definitely blackmail their entire family. They must not sow endless disasters for the sake of momentary pleasure.

But she forgot that Xie Li was a real tiger girl. It would have been fine if Chen didn't provoke her with words, but this girl couldn't stand provocation. As soon as Chen finished speaking, Xie Li smashed the basket in her hand.

The next second, the huge basket hit Chen's chest directly, making a dull "bang" sound.

Xie Li suffered from his short stature, otherwise the blame would have fallen on Chen's face.

There was silence.

Except for Xie Li, everyone else had the same thought - it's over!

Sure enough, Chen's face gradually became distorted after she reacted, her breathing became heavier, and she roared: "I didn't tell you--"

Before he could even yell the word "finished", Xie Bao suddenly shouted excitedly from inside the house: "This is the taste! Mom, come quickly, Second Aunt is stewing chicken!"

When the two families were not paying attention, Xie Bao sneaked into the house without anyone noticing.

I am really not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but I am afraid of teammates who are like pigs.

Xu Yingtao curled the corners of her lips, turned around and went into the main room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw the naughty kid lying on the kitchen door with his big butt sticking out, looking into the house through the hole in the door.

Xu Yingtao was glad that she had locked the kitchen door earlier, otherwise the naughty kid would have climbed onto the stove by now.

She deliberately lowered her voice to be serious and low: "You thief, you came into someone else's house uninvited, what do you want to steal?"

Xie Bao was startled by the sudden sound. He turned his head subconsciously, but pulled the blister on his neck and immediately grimaced in pain.

Chen saw with her own eyes Xu Yingtao entering the house with a carrying pole. She no longer cared about the foreigners and reached out to pull the mother and her two daughters apart.

"Get out of here! If anything happens to my son today, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Xu Yingtao was speechless. Does she look like someone who would murder children?

Xie Bai quickly sent a look to Xie Li, and Xie Li understood. The brother and sister held Chen's legs together and refused to let go. Jiang was afraid that Chen would get angry and hit her children, so she grabbed Chen's arm without thinking. Chen could not move and could only curse. The scene was chaotic for a while.

Inside the house, Xie Bao glanced at Xu Yingtao with a guilty conscience, but still stiffened his neck and said, "This is my second aunt's house, who are you?"

It's no wonder that Xie Bao didn't recognize her. When the original body got married, this family had no money to hold a wedding. It was Jiang who gritted her teeth and borrowed money to buy a basket of red eggs, and distributed them to every household in the village. Then she asked the village chief to register the original body, and the marriage was settled.

Xu Yingtao leaned against the door frame and smiled, "Your second aunt is my mother-in-law, who do you think I am?"

Xie Bao suddenly realized what was going on. Although he was young, he was also knowledgeable. However, he did not care. Instead, he asked, "Are you eating chicken? I can see chicken feathers on the floor of the kitchen!"

Xu Yingtao sneered: "Why do you care what we eat? I only know that you came to my house without saying anything, and you must want to steal my things."

Chen was so angry that she yelled, "You little whore, if you keep talking nonsense, I will tear your mouth to pieces!"

Xu Yingtao said calmly, "Xiao Bai threw a bug at your son, and you said he would be a bad guy in the future. Your son sneaked into my house when no one was around, so why can't I say he was trying to steal something?"

Chen had already seen Xu Yingtao's sharp tongue and knew that she would get nothing out of arguing with her, so she decided not to waste her words on her.

"Oh my God, it's bad enough that this family owes money and doesn't pay it back, but now they rely on their numbers to bully us mother and son. They really don't have any conscience at all!" Chen sat down on the ground, howling in a rhythmic manner.

Come again...

The Jiang family members were all numb.

Before the family split up, Chen loved to use this trick whenever she had a disagreement, making the whole family lose their temper. Many years later, she once again witnessed the power of this trick, but she still lost her temper.

Just when Jiang was at a loss, Mrs. Zhou appeared like a god from the sky.

"Howl, howl, howl! Your husband and child are still alive and well, who are you mourning for in the broad daylight?!"

As Mrs. Zhou spoke, she pushed open the fence gate and looked at Chen with eyes full of disgust.

Chen rolled her eyes and pouted, "They haven't paid back the money for several years, and you don't allow me to cry? Aunt Zhou is so kind-hearted, why don't you pay it back for them?"

Mrs. Zhou's face darkened. Just as she was about to agree with the offer, she saw Xu Yingtao coming straight towards her from the main hall. When she got in front of her, she took her arm affectionately and winked at her frantically, "Grandma Zhou, can you lend us another 200 coins tomorrow? It's really not a good idea to owe money to my uncle's family for a long time. You can see that if she comes to make trouble every day, how can we live?"

After yesterday's close cooperation, Mrs. Zhou understood it almost immediately and said, "Okay, then you can come to my house tomorrow afternoon to pick it up."

Xu Yingtao secretly gave the old lady a thumbs up.

This is because they knew that they had to do business in the morning, so they specially arranged the time in the afternoon. It was really thoughtful.

What? The second wife is willing to pay back the money? Chen was almost overwhelmed by the huge surprise when she heard this.

She patted her butt and stood up, she shouted towards the main room: "You little bastard, why don't you get out of here right now? People have already called you a thief, why are you still so shameless and hanging around?!"

Xie Bao refused to leave, so Chen pulled him out.

"Your daughter-in-law said she would pay me back tomorrow. Did she scare me?"

Jiang knew that she couldn't hold Xu Yingtao back, so she nodded in acknowledgement.

Chen was very satisfied and said generously, "That's fine. If that's the case, I won't pursue Xiao Bai. If you don't pay me back tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude!"

Anyway, it’s none of her business if the second wife can’t pay back the Zheng family’s money in the future. As long as her family can pay it back, everything will be fine.

Chen even felt a little regretful. If she had known that she could get the two hundred coins back by going to the house and making a scene, she would not have wasted so much time.

When Xie Bao saw his mother was leaving, he immediately refused to work and pointed at the kitchen and started howling: "I want chicken, I want chicken!"

Chen had also vaguely smelled the fragrance before, but she would never believe that the second wife had enough money to eat meat, and she was also worried that something might happen to the money she was about to get, so she immediately twisted Xie Bao's arm and shouted, "I think you look like a chicken!"

After the mother and son left, Jiang hurriedly led Mrs. Zhou to the main hall and said, "Aunt, I always need your help. I don't know how to thank you."

Fortunately, the family now has a stable income, and the money owed to the Zheng family can always be repaid in installments.

"It's just a coincidence, there's no need for you to thank me." Grandma Zhou waved her hand, uncovered the cloth on the basket, took out a large bowl of mung beans and four or five cucumbers and eggplants, and handed them all to Jiang. "I won't go in. These are newly harvested mung beans at home. Now that the weather is still hot, it's just right to make some mung bean soup."

Jiang didn't know what to do with the beans and vegetables in her hands, and subconsciously looked at Xu Yingtao for help.

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Grandma, you really need to come in and sit down today. I have something to discuss with you."

Mrs. Zhou was going to discuss borrowing money tomorrow, so she walked into the house without much hesitation.

There was only a simple octagonal table and four benches in the room. Xu Yingtao naturally led Mrs. Zhou to the main seat, and then took the two siblings to the kitchen to bring out the food, not forgetting to serve a bowl for Mrs. Zhou as well.

Mrs. Zhou had already had lunch, but when the spicy chicken and rice were placed in front of her, she couldn't help swallowing.

Every household in this village grows rice, but no one is willing to eat rice. After paying taxes and selling grain every year, those with better conditions can mix rice with miscellaneous grains to make porridge, while those with poorer conditions go directly to the town to exchange rice for coarse grains, which is just enough to make a living.

Now it seems that Xie's family is really getting better.

It would be a lie to say I wasn’t envious, but I was actually happy for this family.

The other person was being polite but she couldn't be rude. Besides, she had just received a large bowl of chicken from him, so there was no point in asking for another meal. Mrs. Zhou stood up quickly and said, "Eat yours, don't worry about me."

Xu Yingtao quickly held her down and said with a smile, "Grandma, I have a way to make money. Are you interested? If you are, let's talk while we eat."

Mrs. Zhou was shocked all over, and immediately sat down obediently and listened carefully to Xu Yingtao's speech.

A moment later, she went out with a happy face, walking with the wind under her feet, and she couldn't wait to go home to share the good news with her family.

Looking at Grandma Zhou who hadn't touched the dishes, Xu Yingtao sighed, "Grandma Zhou is so nice."

She is simple, honest, and not greedy for petty gains. She is so much like her grandmother, and just looking at her makes people feel close to her.

Jiang had not interrupted before, but now she could not help asking, "Yingtao, will the job of picking ghost buns really be handed over to the Zheng family in the future?"

Xu Yingtao nodded: "We have owed too much to the village chief's family, we must return some of our favor."

"You've thought it through." Jiang sighed.

Xie Bai was feeling a little distressed at first, but after hearing this he nodded in relief.

On her way home, Mrs. Zhou happened to meet Xie Daniu and his sons who were carrying firewood down the mountain. Thinking of Chen's previous naughty and naughty look, she immediately turned unhappy.

"Daniu, your brother and sister-in-law's family are having a hard time. Although they don't need your help, please don't always come to their house to bully them. Don't let others laugh at you and say that your family tradition is not right, which will affect your sons' marriage."

Xie Daniu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his wife was probably up to something again.

The brothers following behind him also looked unhappy. Mrs. Zhou's words just hit them right in the heart.

Now, except for the eldest son Xie Zhao, the second son Xie Jin and the third son Xie Cai have all reached the age of marriage, but none of them have found a wife. Whenever the family thinks about this, they become worried and unable to sleep or eat.

They all knew that besides being poor, the main reason was that their mother had a bad reputation and no one was willing to marry their daughter to them.

Xie Daniu smiled and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I will definitely talk to my wife when I get back."

Only then did Mrs. Zhou nod and quicken her pace back home.
