Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Sure enough, Yao quietly hid in the corridor and saw the headman's wife, Sun, taking the time to tell Zhao the headman that she didn't want Xiao Wan to come and provoke her eldest grandson.

When Zhao Lizheng heard this, his heart suddenly stopped and a surge of anger surged from the bottom of his heart.

He suppressed his emotions, not wanting to get angry with his wife. He took a deep breath and asked, "Wan girl has no intention towards our Cheng brother. She is a person who behaves properly and would never deliberately provoke Cheng brother."

"You have to trust our brother Cheng. He is already a juren. He should know right from wrong and won't do anything stubborn. This will not be good for the Xiao family or my family."

"Don't listen to the old man's instigation anymore. Go out and see more. The Xiao family and the village are no longer what they used to be. You and the old man have always been arrogant. You relied on Cheng'er being a scholar to act superior."

Seeing his wife's face flushed, he wanted to refute but didn't say anything.

He couldn't bear it, but there were some things he had to say.

"Old woman, the Xiao family's current status, not to mention in the village, the entire Jiyun City is a fiefdom bestowed upon her by the emperor himself. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the master of the entire Jiyun City."

"Wan's father is no longer a peasant. He was personally appointed as a village elder by the emperor. Her mother is also of high rank. The imperial court even built a county lord's mansion for Wan in Jiyun City. It was built by imperial craftsmen, not ordinary craftsmen hired by ordinary people like us."

"Wan's family is only living in the village temporarily. The County Lord's Mansion will be completed soon, and Wan might move there. Our Cheng'er is only a Juren now. Do they really want to keep clinging to you, a Juren? Do you have a mine or money?"

"Besides, Miss Wan has never taken the initiative to look for our Cheng'er. Sometimes when they meet, she will avoid him. What does this matter have to do with that girl?"

"You let the eldest of the families go to other people's homes with such arrogance to propose marriage, as if they were giving alms to them. You don't even consider your own conditions, and you dare to look down on them! If you look down on them so much, you should just not go."

"To be honest, when you go to their house, you have to pay your respects to Liu and the others. They are legitimate ladies of the imperial court! How dare you, a commoner, show off your power in their house? If it weren't for my face, it's a good thing they didn't kick you out!"

"But don't say it's for your son. The girl is also very valuable. Why should she marry you just because your son likes her? Where's her face?"

"Besides, Miss Wan's marriage has already been arranged. Put away your petty thoughts and stop making jokes and embarrassing our Zhao family!"

"Have some shame! If you keep going on like this, even if Cheng'er gets married in the future, he'll have a hard time living with a mother-in-law like you who's full of crooked ideas!"

"Cheng'er is the eldest grandson of the first house. He should set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters. Only then can our Zhao family prosper in the future. Don't hold him back in the future, otherwise I will not allow it!"

Zhao Lizheng fired a barrage of words at Sun, but his words were directed at Yao, who was sitting behind the pillar in the corridor.

These words made the faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turn pale and red. They wanted to refute but found that they couldn't open their mouths.

Seeing this, Zhao Lizheng finally said, "Wan girl coming here is already a great honor for me as a village chief. Cheng Ge'er has to bow to her when he sees her, let alone me, a commoner village chief."

"If you guys just keep ignoring me, don't worry about the family affairs anymore!"

After saying that, Zhao Lizheng turned around and left, no longer paying any attention to the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

When Yao saw her mother-in-law lowering her head and blushing, she suddenly felt a little guilty, which she had never felt before.

Maybe my father-in-law is right. Am I too obsessed and don’t know my own limitations?

That’s right, Xiao Wan didn’t do anything to her son.

Am I too stubborn? I treat my son as a treasure, so why should I ask others to do the same?

Yao and Sun also fell into deep thought for a while and did not speak for a long time!

On the second day, Zhao Laoer, his wife and Zhao Dayong took a day off to help entertain the guests at home to celebrate their eldest nephew's success in the imperial examination.

The family was surprised to find that Yao did not wait for her sister-in-law Wu to work, but instead worked alongside her sister-in-law.

Everyone in the family looked at him sideways, and Zhao Lizheng was also very pleased, knowing that his eldest daughter-in-law had listened to him.

Zhao Laoer and his wife didn't know what medicine their sister-in-law had taken, but it was a good thing that she could take the initiative to work, so they didn't look at Yao too much to avoid embarrassing her.

Boss Zhao also looked at his wife in surprise, and then started to help.

The two brothers worked together, and together with their cousin's family, they quickly set up the banquet.

Zhao Xuancheng also rushed back at this time, and the villagers came forward to surround him and praised him.

Surrounded by the crowd, Zhao Lizheng opened the village ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and then ordered the banquet to begin.
