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

But based on her understanding of her parents, whatever her youngest brother wanted, his parents would do their best to satisfy him.

Although she returned home in a rage, her parents would definitely come after her and punish her within two or three days at the latest.

By then, there will inevitably be scenes of crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang oneself.

Although her family was still a long way from being rich and powerful, Chen somehow felt that even if she really became rich and powerful, it would not be so good. Relatives from all walks of life would flock to her to seek favors, which was really annoying.

No wonder people often say that if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you, but if you are rich in the mountains, you will have distant relatives.

Although life in the past was poor, it was also peaceful. It was nothing like now. She felt that some of her hair might have turned white.

After saying this, Chen was afraid that Xu Yingtao and Jiang would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained, "Yingtao, sister-in-law, don't worry. I came here today not to ask you to help my disappointing youngest brother find a job. I just wanted to ask for some advice. What should I do if my parents really come?"

She was so anxious that her voice trembled unconsciously.

There is definitely no way to sever the relationship, and it won't come to that.

But if she really had to obey her youngest brother and her parents, Chen was extremely unwilling to do so.

She may be a bit naughty, but she is not stupid.

If he really dared to make such an unreasonable request in front of Xu Yingtao, he might even lose his own business.

No matter how close your relatives are, how can they be as important as having enough food to eat?

However, although she could fall out with her youngest brother, she would never dare to challenge her parents who gave birth to her.

She was really at her wit's end.

Xu Yingtao and Jiang looked at each other and finally understood what the saying "Every family has its own problems" meant.

Although Chen was a person who was known for her scolding in the village, she had a somewhat pleasing personality towards her mother's family.

But this is not just Chen's problem. Whether in this era or in later generations, women who are born in a family that favors boys over girls have this problem to some extent.

Of course, this is especially true in this era.

Modern women are forced to do so, but at least they can go to big cities to study and work, physically severing ties with their original families.

But women in this era, not only can’t escape, but the pressure of “filial piety” basically makes it impossible for them to turn their lives around.

Xu Yingtao sighed imperceptibly.

After a moment's hesitation, she made up her mind and said seriously, "Since my aunt has spoken, as a relative, I certainly cannot ignore it. If your parents don't come, it's fine. If they do, just bring them to me and I will help your youngest brother find a job."

Upon hearing this, Chen quickly waved her hand and refused: "Cherry, you don't have to assign him an errand. That's really not what I meant!"

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Aunt, there's no need to explain. I didn't really mean to assign him a job. I'll be frank with you. I can handle the problem, but you have to compensate for any losses caused by your youngest brother this time."

Now that things have come to this, Chen naturally had to agree.

Although I don't know what Xu Yingtao's plan is, I just trust her inexplicably.

After Chen left, Jiang asked, "Cherry, if they really come here shamelessly, what are you going to do?"

Xu Yingtao smiled and said, "Come if you want. For that kind of person, even if a gold nugget falls from the sky, he may not be able to catch it."

Afterwards, Xu Yingtao briefly talked about her plan.

To put it simply, it is to arrange for Chen's youngest brother to sell the village products. If he can sell them successfully, he will be given a high commission.

If he had any bad intentions, then don't blame her for not giving him a chance.

Hearing this, Jiang couldn't help but frowned and said, "For those products of ours, let alone selling them, people are eager to spend money to order them through the back door. What's the difference between this and giving money to him for free?"

Xu Yingtao raised the corners of her lips. The difference is that she would set up checkpoints and then conduct fishing enforcement.

Thinking of making money from her for free? No way!

Xie Bai, who had been listening quietly, finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what is fishing enforcement?"

"We just need to find someone to induce him to make a mistake, so that we can catch his mistake and kick him out of the village easily without offending anyone."

Xie Bai suddenly realized and fell into deep thought again.

After a while, he asked, "My aunt said earlier that her brother is a gambler. Is my sister-in-law planning to use this as a breakthrough?"

Xu Yingtao gave him a thumbs up: "As expected of a top student, your brain is really working well."

Xie Bai had learned from her sister-in-law what "academic tyrant" meant a long time ago, but she still lowered her head in embarrassment when she heard it.

When he spoke again, his tone couldn't help but be a little happy: "Sister-in-law, why not ask Xu Erlai to do this? He is very slippery and is perfect for this kind of thing."

Xu Yingtao's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that.

She was still thinking about who to find to perform in this play, and Xie Bai came to her rescue in time.

She agreed immediately and arranged for Xie Bai to call the person over.

At this time, Xu Erlai had just carried a basket of fern roots down the mountain. He was so tired that he was panting. He planned to rest for half an hour before going up the mountain again.

He had just kicked off his cotton shoes and was about to get into bed for a nap when he heard someone knocking on the gate.

Xu Erlai shouted impatiently: "Who is it?"

Xie Bai said calmly: "It's me."

Xu Erlai didn't recognize the voice at first. After all, the second branch of the Xie family didn't like to interact with the villagers in the past. Now Xie Bai was reading books and practicing calligraphy at home all day, so the villagers rarely saw him.

Xu Erlai finally opened the door with his shoes on. When he saw who was outside the door, his scalp immediately exploded.

Although he later learned that Jiang Zhuzi was not dead, Xu Erlai was still frightened when he witnessed Xie Bai's decisiveness and ruthlessness when he hit someone that day.

He couldn't even speak clearly for a moment: "Xiao, Xiaobai, why are you here suddenly?"

Xie Bai could clearly sense his nervousness, so he suppressed his smile and said gently, "My sister-in-law wants to ask you for a favor."

Xu Erlai thought to himself, why are you pretending to be good in front of me? Don’t think I forgot about you hitting your uncle with a big rock!

But he didn't dare to act rashly in front of Xie Bai, and even nodded and bowed: "Okay, you go first, I'll go into the house to wash my face and come right over!"

He doesn't want to go with Xie Bai!

Xie Bai didn't force it, just said okay and turned to leave.

Xu Erlai breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, Xu Erlai learned about his new mission from Xu Yingtao, and immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, young master, it's fine if they don't come. If they come, leave the task to me, and I will do it for sure!"

It's just the role of a gangster, he just plays it as himself!

The next morning, just after daybreak, there was a hurried knock on the gate of the Xie family's main house.

Chen's heart sank suddenly.

She hurried to open the door and saw that it was her parents and youngest brother standing outside.
