Taohua Village, that place is really not close.

It would take at least half a day to go there and back.

Xu Erlai was somewhat unhappy and wanted to switch places with someone else.

But no matter how bad he was, he only dared to bully the elderly, the weak, women and children. But this time, the Liangfen group was composed of strong men, and he couldn't afford to offend any of them.

Seeing that he was hesitant, someone immediately took the opportunity to ask, "Er Laizi, are you going or not? If not, give it to me!"

When Xu Erlai heard that someone wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, he immediately became unhappy: "Get lost, who said I won't go!"

Although he is lazy and likes to eat, the income from the jelly business is considerable. If he works hard for a month or so, he might be able to save enough for the dowry to marry a wife.

Once he gets a wife, he can sit back and relax at home and be a big boss. It’s a wonderful thought.

Xu Yingtao and Village Chief Zheng looked at each other tacitly and smiled knowingly.

This was the strategy they had discussed yesterday.

If we send this troublemaker out of the village, the village will be a lot quieter.

Chen watched from the side with mixed feelings. Xu Erlai even dared to speak up to fight for work for his family, but she didn't even have the courage to speak up.

The reason was simple: she was too ruthless in the past, and there was nothing she could do about it even if she regretted it now.

The women in the village volunteered to stay and help organize the dishes and basins, while Chen and Xie Daniu went home one after the other, both in silence.

Xie Bao was catching longhorn beetles in the yard. When he saw his father coming back with a bowl, he rushed over like an arrow.

"Dad, what are you holding?" Xie Bao stretched his neck to look.

Xie Daniu handed him the spicy noodles that he had only taken a bite of, and said in a deep voice: "Don't eat it alone, let your brother and sister-in-law have a taste too."

Xie Bao took it happily, and couldn't help but pick up a spicy strip and put it in his mouth. Then his eyes suddenly widened.

Oh wow!

This is so delicious too!

"Dad, Mom, what is this?" Xie Bao licked the fingers that had just caught the insect again and again.

Xie Zhao and his two other brothers were also attracted by the noise and gathered around.

After a while, except for Xie Daniu, everyone in the Xie family's main branch just wanted to hold their heads and cry.

"Mom, Dad told you not to bully the second branch, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened. Such a good business has no share for our family!" The second son, Xie Cai, was speechless.

Xie Jin also agreed: "When you used to bully Second Aunt every day, did you ever think about today?"

Xie Zhao had always been filial and never disobeyed his mother, but although he didn't say anything at this moment, he was emitting resentment.

Needless to say, Xie Daniu has never been very nice to Chen in the past few days, and it is even worse now.

Faced with such a room full of old and young, Chen felt isolated and helpless. She was so angry that she slammed the table and started cursing.

"If I had known you were such ungrateful people, I shouldn't have given birth to you! Who am I bullying the second wife's family for? It's so you can have an extra bite of food! Now you all despise me. Well, since this family can't accommodate me, I won't live today!"

As she spoke she was about to bang her head against the wall.

However, the earth wall was loose, and hitting it with my head did little damage except knocking off some clods of earth. Instead, I ended up getting a face full of dirt.

Chen bumped into him once, and seeing that no one came to persuade her, she wanted to bump into him a second time. Just as she took a step, she heard her husband yell, "Have you had enough?!"

If it were in the past, Chen would have rushed up and fought with her man, but today she really had no confidence and could only stop in disappointment.

Xie Daniu sighed, "The Second House had a hard time in the past, and we didn't help. Now that the Second House has risen, we shouldn't be jealous. We should just live our lives as usual and not do things like flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. Do you remember that?"

The three sons responded one after another, saying they remembered it, but Chen stared at the tip of her shoe without saying anything.

She was still unwilling to give in.

Xie Bao licked the bottom of the bowl until it was shiny, and when there was nothing left to lick, he asked doubtfully, "So you don't want the fifty kilograms of food that we gave away?"

When Chen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up!

That’s right! There’s not only hatred between her family and the second branch, but also gratitude!

Chen immediately held Xie Bao's head and kissed him on the forehead.

"My youngest son is still smart!"

After saying this, Chen walked out of the door covered in dust and dirt, and told no one to follow her, otherwise she would jump into the river.

Xie Daniu was worried that his wife would do something naughty again, so he hurriedly asked his daughter-in-law who was mending clothes to go and keep an eye on her.

Wu Chunhua immediately put down her needlework and hurriedly followed.

As soon as Chen arrived at the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, Wu Chunhua caught up with her.

Chen said unhappily, "What are you doing here? Go back now!"

Although Wu Chunhua was afraid, she said stubbornly: "Mom, Dad is worried about your safety and asked me to stay with you."

Chen rolled her eyes and thought that the bastard still had some conscience.

She was too lazy to chase her eldest daughter-in-law away, so she simply bent down and peeked at the excitement in the second house through the gap in the fence.

In addition to the Zheng and Wang families, many women from other families in the village gathered in the yard at this time, helping to clean the yard and do laundry.

The already tidy courtyard became spotless under the care of the women.

When there was really no work to do, the women reluctantly said goodbye to Xu Yingtao and her three daughters, and left the yard together.

Chen felt so annoyed that she kept rolling her eyes.

Why are you pretending? I've never seen these families willing to interact with the second branch before.

As soon as everyone left the yard, they naturally saw Chen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Someone couldn't help but joked, "Hey, isn't this Sister Chen? Are you here to visit relatives today?"

Chen snorted coldly, and walked into the courtyard of the second house with her head held high, amid the mocking gazes of everyone.

However, as soon as she entered the yard, her straight back suddenly bent a little.

There's no way. I really have no confidence.

In the main hall, Xu Yingtao was discussing with the Zheng family the time to come to help tomorrow morning. During the conversation, Chen's dusty face suddenly appeared at the door.

Everyone was shocked.

Jiang came forward and asked with concern: "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? Why is your face covered with dirt?"

Chen waved her hands and smiled flatteringly: "It's okay, I just accidentally bumped into it on the road. I just wanted to see if your family has enough rice to eat. If not, I will ask Xiao Zhao to send some more."

The sun is really coming out in the west.

Mrs. Zhou and the others looked at each other and curled their lips knowingly.

"Cherry, let's go back first and come back tomorrow morning."

Mrs. Zhou knew the purpose of Chen's visit. Although it was shameful, the two families were relatives after all. It was not her business to help or drive away the two families, so she asked her daughters-in-law to leave first.

After the Zheng family left, Chen no longer had any worries. Her smile became even brighter. She said warmly, "We are all family. Don't be polite. If you are short of rice, just tell me. We haven't sold much grain this year."

Xu Yingtao looked at her and said with a smile, "Okay, then auntie, can you send another 100 kilograms of rice to my family?"
