After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy
Chapter 86: A show of force
On the first day a new daughter-in-law comes home, she has to prepare water for her parents-in-law to wash their faces and make breakfast. Judging from the bright sky outside, Ye Xunqing knew it was no longer morning.
Very good, the two elders of the Feng family now have a new reason to scold him.
"Don't worry, Xiao Jing has already prepared the meal this morning." Feng Jingheng said, "Do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you."
Ye Xunqing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Not only had she become a lazy daughter-in-law, she would soon become a wicked one. Not only did she not get up to cook, but she also asked people to bring the meal to her bedside to eat. She really thought she was the emperor, didn't she?
"No need." Ye Xunqing rubbed his aching waist and said, "Bring my clothes over. I'll put them on and go downstairs to eat. Besides, I haven't washed up yet."
Feng Jingheng takes care of Ye Xunqing very attentively. He wants to be a good man who loves his wife and cannot be like his father and father-in-law.
When Ye Xunqing opened the door, he saw everyone in the courtyard staring at him. Some were people he knew, some were strangers. Most were relatives of the Feng family, and a few were neighbors. However, when they saw Ye Xunqing, the expression on their faces wasn't love for the new bride, but rather contempt and blame.
Hu Xiangyue was the first to speak. She rolled her eyes and said, "When we got married, we had to get up in the middle of the night to prepare breakfast for our parents-in-law. How could we have the nerve to sleep until noon?"
After he finished speaking, another elder of the Feng family spoke up, "Xunqing, since you've married into this family, you must abide by the Feng family's rules. I'm not saying anything mean, but you've at least been educated and can read. How come you don't understand something as simple as this?"
Before Ye Xunqing could open her mouth, someone else said, "Your husband has already gotten up to fetch a few buckets of water, and you're still sleeping. You're so lazy. Cousin, brother-in-law, if you ask me, a daughter-in-law with such a bad reputation and who is so incredibly lazy shouldn't marry your second son. He's such a hardworking guy!"
"Uncle San, Aunt Si, Aunt Er, and Auntie, when did you come?" Feng Jingheng came out holding a quilt. When he saw the people in the yard, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. He hadn't seen these people just now.
When Hu Xiangyue saw that it was Feng Jingheng who came out with the quilt, she immediately shouted, "Heng boy, can you do this job? What's the point of spending money to marry a wife? Isn't the purpose of marrying a wife to serve you?"
Ye Xunqing was really speechless. Early in the morning... oh, at noon, he got up happily to eat, but before he could even take a bite, he was so angry that he was full of anger.
No, what kind of people are these? Are they so wild? Are all these people sitting here just to catch his new wife who is sleeping in?
"When I marry my wife, I put her on a shelf and worship her." Feng Jingheng said in a deep voice, "In my house, we can do whatever we want. It's not up to outsiders to say anything. All of you, get out of the way. My wife hasn't had breakfast yet. If you're all here, he can't even get into the kitchen."
The third uncle in the crowd was the first to get angry, "Brother, listen to what Heng Er said? We are outsiders, and he said we are outsiders!"
"Uncle San, why are you joining in the fun here instead of going home for lunch at noon?" Feng Jinghua came back from outside carrying things, followed by Ye Xunbai and Mo Yuyan, who were also carrying a lot of things.
Uncle San said, "Hua, you've arrived just in time. Can you please tell me what's right? Shouldn't a new daughter-in-law get up early on her first day to cook for her parents-in-law?"
Feng Jinghua placed the things at the door of the house next to Ye Xunqing's house, then held the door frame and said, "There is this rule..."
Uncle San hurriedly said, "Heng boy, did you hear that?"
Feng Jinghua changed the subject and said with a smile, "But she's not my wife, so I have no right to say anything. Ah Heng's wife can sleep as long as she wants. If I don't have to work, I like to sleep all day too. Isn't that right, Ah Heng, Xiao Qing?"
Ye Xunqing smiled and said, "Brother, what you said makes a lot of sense."
Feng Jingheng grasped another key point, "My wife is not your wife."
Uncle San was so angry that he was about to die. He couldn't persuade Feng Jingheng, so he turned around and took out his anger on Ye Xunqing. "I heard that you were well-educated and well-mannered, and you were Mr. Yang's son. I thought you were a sensible child. Now it seems that you are not only ignorant, but also a disgrace to your father."
"What do you mean, Third Uncle?" Ye Xunqing stopped playing dead and said, "Don't I know my father better than you do? He taught me to follow my heart and do everything by my heart, so I don't intend to change that."
"You..." Uncle San pointed at Ye Xunqing, and then said to Feng Datong: "Brother, you can't have this daughter-in-law!"
"Then you give me eighteen taels of silver." Feng Jinghua said jokingly, "Ah Heng spent eighteen taels of silver on marrying his wife. The money is gone, and it's definitely not coming back. If Third Uncle thinks this wife is not acceptable, then give Ah Heng eighteen taels of silver and let him get a new wife."
"No." Feng Jingheng's face turned pale. "I wouldn't even trade Ah Qing for one hundred and eighty taels."
Ye Xun smiled secretly in his heart. The old ones are still the most experienced. Feng Jinghua is worthy of being the eldest brother. He knows how to control their relatives.
Feng Jinghua smiled and shook his head, whispering: "I didn't ask you to change your wife."
Ye Xunqing also spoke up, "Big Brother, what you said makes sense. Money spent is definitely not to be recovered. If someone paid me these eighteen taels, I would move out right now. But I only want cash, not an IOU."
"A Qing..." Feng Jingheng was very hurt.
Ye Xunqing poked his arm, leaned closer and said, "We're just teasing them. If someone really gives us eighteen taels, we'll use the money to buy land and lay the foundation."
Feng Jingheng was happy. Ah Qing was still thinking about him.
"Who will give it?" Ye Xunqing asked, "Uncle San, do you want to give it?"
Eighteen taels of silver. Uncle San's family couldn't earn that much money in three years. If he had eighteen taels, his two sons would have been married long ago. Why is it necessary that they still can't arrange the marriage?
Seeing that his uncle didn't say anything, Ye Xunqing asked Hu Xiangyue again, "Aunt Xiangyue, will you give me the eighteen taels?"
Hu Xiangyue hesitated for a long time and didn't say a word.
"Since no one is giving me eighteen taels, I'll just have to stay here." Ye Xunqing let out a helpless smile. "Go away, your new wife won't give you any candy, and it's already noon, so go back and eat. When you've saved up eighteen taels of silver, come find us again."
"It's inappropriate, inappropriate!" After saying a few words, Uncle San left angrily with his hands behind his back.
Those who were causing trouble and those who were watching the fun all left in groups of three or four, leaving only the old couple of the Feng family standing at the door of the main hall with dark faces. Their expressions looked as if they wanted to eat someone.
"Is it fun to have so many people here?" After they left, Feng Jinghua put away his smile and turned to his parents, saying, "Why don't you invite the whole village to watch your family's joke?"
