Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Sun curled her lips when she heard this, feeling extremely disapproving.

The Xiao family is really outrageous. Even after their own daughter-in-law went to propose marriage, they dared to reject their own family.

She doesn't even realize that she is just a peasant girl, and by chance she was granted the title of county lady, so she looks down on others.

Her grandson is an outstanding talent in the area within dozens of miles, and she is blessed that he likes her.

I even think she is not from a wealthy family.

But fortunately, her grandson did not marry into the Xiao family, otherwise she would have gotten it for nothing!

My eldest grandson is now a newly-promoted juren and can become an official. I heard from my old man that he can even take part in the metropolitan and palace examinations next spring.

He is going to meet the emperor. How can a country girl like Xiao Wan be worthy of his eldest grandson?

I heard that even if the eldest grandson no longer takes the exam, he can still become an official now. What's more, the eldest grandson is so ambitious, how could he not make further progress?

When the eldest grandson meets the emperor, it will be no problem for him to marry a young lady from a wealthy family, and it is more likely that he will marry a princess.

Yao also had the same idea as Sun.

Ever since Yao couldn't bear her son's pleading and went to the Xiao family to propose marriage, she was scolded by Liu and her wife Tian.

Yao felt a little resentful towards the Xiao family, but when she saw that her son had to study hard and almost hurt himself in order to marry that dead girl Xiao Wan, Yao felt both distressed and resentful towards the Xiao family for being so tactless.

But she didn't dare to interfere with her son's thoughts anymore, nor did she dare to persuade her son not to care about that dead girl anymore, for fear of pushing him to the limit.

After all, my son is a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. How can I not feel sorry for him?

That damn girl, wasn't it just that her son taught her a few words, and she wasn't happy about it, so she said a few words to her in private and asked her not to have any contact with her son anymore?

Now that she's become the county lady, she has such a bad temper!

Now that I've come to propose marriage in person, that damn girl and her family have such an attitude and are so unreasonable. It's really despicable!

But now, for the sake of her son, Yao can only hide her hatred for the Xiao family in her heart.

Now, after hearing her father-in-law praising the Xiao family and that dead girl Xiao Wan again, Yao and her mother-in-law Sun had the same idea and were both disdainful.

The son of that dead girl has lost his mind, and I heard that he is still entangled with the son of the hunter Zhao family in the village.

Humph, you are so fickle and shameless!

How could his son be inferior to that poor hunter?

But that damn girl Xiao Wan will probably be here tomorrow, and my son will be back soon. What should I do if he gets upset when he sees her?

No, I can’t let that damn girl meet my son again.

She would never agree to her son marrying that dead girl now, but she would wait until next year when he went to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination. If he won the emperor's favor, he could even marry a princess.

So what if that dead girl is just a little county lady? Her son will be a disciple of the emperor by then. Could he not be as good as a little girl?

When my son sees more ladies from wealthy families in the future, he will naturally look down on this dead girl.

Thinking of this, Yao looked at her father-in-law and then at her mother-in-law, Sun.

Only my mother-in-law, Sun, and I stood on one side, and my father-in-law was very friendly to the dead girl's family.

If I told my father-in-law, who knows how he would scold me.

She couldn't stand it anymore. Her son had become a juren, and her status had risen. She couldn't let the second wife laugh at her.

I can only ask my mother-in-law to persuade my father-in-law not to let that damn girl come. I believe that my mother-in-law has the same idea as me.

Sure enough, without Yao saying much, Sun agreed to persuade the old man.

I have to say that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are short-sighted and take themselves too seriously. They sit in a well and look at the sky from a narrow perspective, and never go out to see that the world outside has changed.

There are many people you can't look down on just because you say you don't like them at home.

Even though Xiao Wan was just a county lord, she was a county lord with a real fiefdom, and there was also a county lord's mansion built by the court.

How many county lords and princesses did the Yuan Dynasty have? Even if there were any, they only had fiefs, not estates.

Xiao Wan herself had a lot of assets, and her father was a village elder appointed by the emperor himself. Although he did not have a fiefdom, he did have a fief of food.

Both father and daughter are on the government payroll.

Not to mention the emperor, the imperial concubine and the prince, all of them had lived in the Xiao family. Of course, the Xiao family was low-key and never used this as capital, let alone talked about it with the outside world.

In addition, they did not know the Zhao family's background. They only looked at people through the cracks in the door and looked down on them. They did not know their place.

The first-rank General Zhenyuan and the fourth-rank General Yunhui are not something that a single scholar can contend with.

Zhao Lizheng is a rare smart person in the family, and so is Zhao Xuancheng, otherwise they would not have worked so hard to study and take the imperial examinations.

It’s a pity that with such a foolish mother and foolish grandmother, Zhao Xuancheng’s future daughter-in-law will probably have a hard time living.

Fortunately, Zhao Lizheng and Zhao Xuancheng should be able to suppress their wives and mothers.
