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

Mrs. Cao didn't care at all and just let the insults go on.

She can curse as much as she wants, she just loves her son and hates her daughter.

Before she got married, she was looked down upon and mistreated in her parents' home because she was a girl. Her parents would often beat or scold her.

After she got married, she gave birth to a daughter. Her husband’s family didn’t let her eat for three days. A year later, she gave birth to a second daughter. Before she was out of the confinement period, she was beaten several times by the man.

All the sufferings in her life were caused by the fact that she was a woman and gave birth to a daughter.

How could she not resent her daughter?

Mrs. Cao looked coldly at the people in front of her who were accusing her, sneering in her heart.

It's all just pretense!

She just didn't believe that someone would dislike a son but like a daughter.

There is no such person in the world!

At the same time, Jiang took a deep breath, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and announced the decision she had previously discussed with her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Xiao Bai is writing a letter of severance at home, and I think it will be here soon. The village chief and the clan leader are here today, so I'd like to ask them to be witnesses. If you are willing to sign the letter of severance, I will have someone send you five taels of silver every year in the future, as a token of my gratitude for your kindness in raising me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Bai's voice came from not far away: "Mom, sister-in-law, I've finished writing!"

Hearing the voice, everyone automatically made way for him.

Mrs. Cao was already confused.

She stared at Jiang as if she had seen a ghost.

Breaking off the relationship? How dare she?!

And you only give him five taels of silver a year. How can you send a beggar away?

As soon as Mrs. Cao came to her senses, she was about to throw a tantrum, but was stopped in time by Xu Yingtao.

"Mrs. Cao." Xu Yingtao smiled faintly, but her eyes were cold. "Don't be too greedy. I advise you to stop while you're ahead, otherwise you won't even get the five taels of silver."

"I believed your lies!" Mrs. Cao was furious and almost had a fit. "You earn tens or even hundreds of taels of silver a month, but you only give me five taels a year. Do you really think I'm a beggar?"

"What else? You're not here to beg for food, are you here to give us a gift?"

Mrs. Cao choked and then said viciously: "You caused my son to lose his leg and go blind. If you don't pay me a hundred taels of silver as compensation, this matter will not be over!"

Xu Yingtao smiled slightly, too lazy to bother with her any more. Instead, she looked at Chief Jiang who was trying to reduce his presence.

After a while, Xu Yingtao and Patriarch Jiang reached a consensus.

From today on, she will buy all the bitter chestnuts, konjac, and fern roots in Jiangjia Village, and will also buy soybeans and broad beans.

This move not only opened up a new way of livelihood for Jiangjia Village, but also greatly increased the prestige of Patriarch Jiang in the village, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Patriarch Jiang was almost going crazy with joy.

I thought I was going to be tricked to death by Mrs. Cao today, but unexpectedly, the situation took a sudden turn and such a big pie fell from the sky.

Although he is lustful, he has the responsibility of being the patriarch and ultimately hopes that his family will prosper.

Xu Yingtao glanced at Mrs. Cao who was standing there in a daze, then turned to Chief Jiang: "Grandma Cao is old, and there is no one in the family who can do anything. If my mother gives her five taels of silver every year, I'm afraid it will make people jealous."

Old Mrs. Cao suddenly had a bad feeling.

Xu Yingtao continued, "These five taels of silver will be kept by Chief Jiang from now on, so that they can use them whenever they want, and avoid being coveted by others. Chief Jiang, do you think this arrangement is feasible?"

Row!

That's great!

These five taels of silver almost all went into his pocket.

Even if you can't get all of it, getting half of it is definitely not a problem.

Mrs. Cao finally understood what the phrase "quit while you're ahead" meant.

Now that the Jiang family has benefited, they will definitely not allow her to do whatever she wants. Let alone a hundred taels of silver as compensation, I'm afraid they can't even get a hundred coins!

The only thing she could count on now was the five taels of silver.

But she knew Jiang Daliang's character too well. If this silver passed through his hands, he would be at least five layers of skin peeled off!

"No way!" Mrs. Cao threw a tantrum again, "If I can't live well, no one else can live well!"

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Tell me, how can you make our life miserable? Want to commit suicide? If you really want to die, I can save money, but your son will be miserable. He will starve to death at home. Can you bear it?"

Mrs. Cao thought about the possibility and her heart suddenly ached.

She couldn't bear it.

Xu Yingtao continued: "Or, they are trying to discredit us mother-in-law and daughter-in-law everywhere, so that we can't do business?"

Mrs. Cao's eyes suddenly widened, and she was secretly surprised. Could it be that her thoughts were so obvious that she could see through them at a glance?

Xu Yingtao sneered and looked at Chief Jiang: "Old Lady Cao is old, so try not to let her wander around the village in the future. Old people have brittle bones, and if she gets bumped or falls, it could be fatal."

Patriarch Jiang understood immediately.

This is to let them keep an eye on Mrs. Jiang in the future to prevent her from going crazy.

Mrs. Cao watched as Xu Yingtao blocked all her paths. Not only did she not get her money, she was also losing her freedom, so she panicked.

But she still had some rationality and understood that she would have to rely on her clan in the end, so she turned all her resentment and anger towards the Jiang family.

"Jiang Erya! Your mother was bullied like this, and you just watched? Do you still have a conscience?"

Jiang said calmly, "Bully you? If Yingtao bullied you, would she still pay out of her own pocket to give you five taels of silver every year for your retirement? Otherwise, how about you bully me like this?"

It was obviously a harmless sentence, but it caused a huge wave in Mrs. Cao's heart.

Her daughter, who had been beaten and scolded by her for decades and dared not resist, now dared to mock her. She was really going against the will of Heaven!

After all, they were mother and daughter. Just by looking at her expression, Jiang could tell what she was going to say next. She immediately said with a cruel heart, "Stop making trouble. I will separate from Yingtao today and you won't get a penny!"

Before Mrs. Cao could react, Xie Bai's face turned pale.

Although he knew that this was his mother's expedient measure, he still subconsciously looked at Xu Yingtao.

Apart from being afraid of snakes, he had never had any strong emotions towards anything since he was a child. Even when his father and older brother died one after another, he just cried for a while and then was no longer sad.

But at this moment, a huge panic swept over his heart, even greater than the fear he felt when he touched a worm in his bed.

"Can't split up!!!"

A familiar female voice came from not far away, coinciding with Xie Bai's cry from deep in his heart.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Chen walking towards them quickly with a basket on her shoulder. She looked very aggressive.

When she reached the crowd, she stuffed the basket into Xie Daniu's hands, rolled up her sleeves and started fighting with Mrs. Cao on the ground.

"You shameless bastard! You come to our village to bully others! I'm giving you face, right? You are my brother's wife's mother, but not my mother. She doesn't dare to hit you, but I do! Anyway, the whole village knows that I am a shrew, I don't care about my reputation!"

Every time Chen said something, she would pull out a handful of Cao's hair, or leave a few bloody marks on her face. In just a few breaths, Cao was beaten so hard that she wailed and begged for mercy.

Even after everyone pulled the two apart, Chen was still not satisfied and said, "To deal with such an old woman, you can't just talk, otherwise she will get more excited the more you talk. You have to beat her until she surrenders!"

After all, she herself is one of them, so she knows it best!
