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

Patriarch Jiang had just sneaked out from his other mistress's house and was busy tying his belt.

Hearing this, his legs almost went weak and he almost lost his balance.

"You woman, I said you wouldn't bring up those old things anymore. It's been so many years, why are you still bringing them up?" Patriarch Jiang's tone was full of complaints.

Speaking of their past affair, Chief Jiang wanted to shed tears of bitterness.

He was young and full of vigor and a playboy. Relying on his father being the clan leader, he flirted with all the young girls and wives in the village.

The women were concerned about their reputations and no one dared to reveal a word to anyone.

But he fell into trouble because of Cao - Cao insisted that Jiang Zhuzi was his child.

He didn't know whether it was his child or not, but from then on, he was forced to give Cao one or two taels of silver every year, otherwise she threatened to make it known to the whole village.

Patriarch Jiang was not afraid of her making a fuss, but he was afraid of the man from the Cao family.

Cao's husband was a man with a dark face and a dark heart. He was tall and strong. In front of him, she looked very cowardly.

Besides, he is a greedy, lustful and cowardly person.

Later, Cao's husband finally died of illness. Only then did Chief Jiang feel that the dark clouds that had been covering his head for many years had finally dissipated, and he boldly stopped giving money.

Without anyone to back her up, Mrs. Cao naturally didn't dare to make trouble. Whenever the two met in the village, they just pretended not to know each other and had been living in peace until now.

Hearing Mrs. Cao bringing up the old matter again, the frustration of being blackmailed for twenty years came flooding back to his mind, and Patriarch Jiang was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Mrs. Cao had no idea what the other person was thinking. She thought that she had been law-abiding over the years and had worked hard to help him raise his son, so Chief Jiang should remember her kindness no matter what.

Besides, her son had become a disabled person, and the old man in front of her had become her only support, so Mrs. Cao unconsciously lowered her posture.

"Daliang, Zhuzi's legs were broken and he is blind. We, mother and son, can only rely on you now. You must help us seek justice no matter what."

Seeing her being so humble, Chief Jiang was very pleased and asked casually, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Cao then told the whole story with exaggeration.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chief Jiang immediately waved his hands, saying that he couldn't do it and couldn't afford to offend him.

Mrs. Cao thought he wanted to give up, so she couldn't help but get angry and threatened: "Jiang Daliang, even if I have to be drowned in a pond, I will expose your true face in front of all the men in the village!"

Chief Jiang was scared again.

After all, he has six or seven mistresses in the village, and the men are still alive!

This time it was Chief Jiang's turn to slow down his tone: "It's not that I won't help you. I just found out yesterday when I went to the market that our town is going to open a new specialty store, and all the goods will be purchased from your Erya's village."

Mrs. Cao looked bewildered.

Normally, Jiang Zhuzi was unwilling to tell her anything and would only come to her when he was broke or hungry. Naturally, she had no idea what was going on outside.

Chief Jiang continued, "It just so happens that the young man who opened the shop is my wife's distant cousin, so I heard that the current owner of Nanxi Village is your Erya's eldest daughter-in-law! Now the whole village wants to worship her, how dare I..."

When Mrs. Cao heard this, she felt her head buzzing as if hit by a heavy hammer. She didn't hear a word of what Chief Jiang said next.

How is that possible? Mrs. Cao thought.

Clearly, she had just gone to Nanxi Village more than two months ago. Her second daughter was so poor that she had to rely on foreign loans to survive, and the whole family was as thin as monkeys. How was it possible that she suddenly became the boss?

"I heard that if a town opens a franchise store, it's like the God of Wealth is sending money directly to the door. Countless shopkeepers are lining up to curry favor with them. But your granddaughter-in-law has a lot of rules. She wants to examine a person's character, attitude, and a bunch of other things I've never heard of. Anyway, I didn't remember them. Hey, what are you doing?!"

Patriarch Jiang wanted to pull his arm back, but Mrs. Cao held it tightly.

"You're not kidding me?" Mrs. Cao's eyes sparkled.

Chief Jiang was very upset, and his tone was full of annoyance: "Believe it or not, if you don't believe it, go back and ask your son. You are old, don't bother me. I want you to be shameless!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao rushed home without stopping.

In less than a quarter of an hour, she blocked Chief Jiang's way in the field again.

The latter was almost driven crazy by her, and said impatiently: "What on earth are you trying to do? My wife will be here soon, so get out of here if you have nothing to do!"

Mrs. Cao seemed to be possessed by a demon, with a flush of excitement on her face. She didn't waste any words and went straight to the point: "Take a few people with me to Nanxi Village. If you can get money from her, I'll give you half!"

Chief Jiang sneered, "I think you are still asleep! A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Jiang Erya belongs to another family now. If she doesn't want to give you money, I don't believe you can hang yourself at her doorstep."

"I'm going to hang myself at her doorstep!" Mrs. Cao became more and more excited as she spoke. "They have to be proud to do business now. If they dare not give me money, I will tell everyone that she is unfilial, that she harmed her brother, and that she forced her parents to death. I don't believe she is not afraid!"

Patriarch Jiang's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.

He did not expect much money from Mrs. Cao. As long as he could get back the twenty taels of silver he was forced to give out over the years, he would be satisfied.

He looked up at the sky, and gradually regained his composure: "It's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Mrs. Cao still had a look of unwillingness to give up, Clan Leader Jiang quickly tried to persuade her: "You have to let me prepare. Do you think it's that easy to find someone? You have to give us a heads up in advance. Let's go quickly and don't let anyone see us."

Although Mrs. Cao was unwilling, she had no choice but to return home in disappointment.

Nanxi Village.

After inspecting the workshops, Jiang couldn't help sneezing as she stepped into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Xu Yingtao, who was busy plucking duck feathers, looked up when she heard the voice and asked with concern: "Mom, did you catch a cold? I'll ask Xiaohua to make you a bowl of ginger soup."

Jiang hurriedly stopped him, "No, I feel warm, but I feel a little uneasy. Cherry, I'm worried that my mother will come and cause trouble again."

Xu Yingtao still insisted that Zhang Xiaohua cook ginger soup, and then comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, we will deal with it. Besides, she can only threaten you in a few ways, either filial piety, suicide, or spreading rumors. Don't worry, no matter what, I can handle it."

Jiang looked at her with gratitude.

Seeing her eyes were red again, Xu Yingtao quickly changed the subject and said, "Compared to when we first met, you are much more capable now. I am happy for you just by looking at you."

Jiang blushed instantly and quickly waved her hands to deny, "No way, all the troubles in the family are caused by me. I can't help you on weekdays. I'm clearly holding you back."

"Be more confident. You have helped me a lot now. Not only do you help me keep an eye on the workshop, but you also take over the marinade stall. You can also help me with the accounts. Apart from cooking, I don't need to worry about anything at home. I really can't find a helper as good as you anymore."

Jiang's face turned even redder, but she felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment in her heart. Not to mention, after being reminded by her eldest daughter-in-law, she really felt that she had grown a lot.

Xu Yingtao smiled slyly: "Besides, you have one more amazing point, do you know what it is?"

Jiang suddenly opened her eyes wide, full of curiosity.
