Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

"Mom, I was wrong. Today, I was blinded by my own greed. I shouldn't have suspected you of being partial."

The third daughter-in-law said crying.

Thinking of what happened today, Mrs. Liu's face darkened again. "Oh, you said you were wrong. Where do you think you went wrong?"

The third daughter-in-law's face froze for a moment, as if she had not expected that Old Lady Liu would make trouble.

"......My fault...My fault..." She racked her brains but couldn't figure out where she went wrong. The third son's wife broke out in a cold sweat.

Old Lady Liu sneered, "Since you don't know where you're wrong, then just kneel here!"

When the third daughter-in-law heard this, she looked up suddenly. "You old hag, I gave you some good face but you still stained the cloth." The third daughter-in-law thought of what her younger brother Zhang Tiezhu said and calmed herself down.

He smiled and said, "Mom... everything that happened today is my fault. I shouldn't have suspected you of favoritism and bought the silver bracelet for my second sister-in-law, and I shouldn't have made a scene in the street... I regretted it on the way back. I shouldn't have said that to you."

However, when Old Lady Liu heard this, her face darkened. She had to punish the third son's wife today no matter what.

"Humph, it seems you still don't know where you went wrong. Then I'll punish you by making you kneel here until night."

The third daughter-in-law couldn't believe it. She had already apologized, so why was her mother-in-law still being unreasonable? But when she thought of what Zhang Tiezhu said, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

"Yes."

Shen Chulan and Ye Wan looked at each other, vaguely feeling that something was wrong. Why didn't the third daughter-in-law come back to make a big fuss but instead took the initiative to apologize to their mother?

Doesn’t this seem like the style of the third son’s wife?

However, since she took the initiative to apologize, they would not say anything to plead for her. What the third son's wife did today was indeed wrong.

At the dinner table, Old Lady Liu felt a little better. Thinking of the cotton and cloth she bought in town, and the fact that she could finally have a good New Year this year, Old Lady Liu smiled more often.

"I've bought cotton and cloth, and I'm planting seeds in the fields now, so I'm not busy. Starting tomorrow, I have to make new quilts and new cotton-padded clothes. I'll tear down the old cotton and use it as a cushion on the bed, so it'll be warm even in winter. By then, everyone will have a new piece of clothing, and we'll have a happy New Year!"

A smile appeared on Old Man Yuan’s silent face. He took the wine from the cabinet, poured a glass of wine, and took a sip.

This wine was brought from the Lu Mansion. It has a soft taste and a fresh fragrance. Old Man Yuan likes it very much.

Old Lady Liu glared at the old man, silently picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into Old Man Yuan's bowl, and continued:

"Although we are not short of money now and haven't had the bad luck we had before, we can't just sit there and eat up all the money we have. Once our family is stable, you have to find a job, any job will do, at least it won't be all spending. People need a career so that the family can live a prosperous life. In the future, you can also save more money for Yaoyao's dowry."

They all knew that Old Lady Liu had been telling them, both explicitly and implicitly, that everything the family had now was given by Yaoyao, and that they should not rely too much on Yaoyao and become useless wastes.

Boss Yuan nodded, "Mom, we understand. After we finish sorting out the affairs in the village, we will go to town to find work and make our family prosperous!"

"Yes, mother, I saw the escort agency in town recruiting people today. You can get a lot of money by making a trip. I am good at archery and I want to try it." Yuan Laoer also said.

Yuan Laosan nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I've been helping the villagers repair the rafters recently. The villagers think I have good skills and have been introducing me to business in other villages. I guess I will go to other villages to repair rafters after I finish the work in my village."

Old Mrs. Liu was pleased to see that they were making plans for the future. Ever since Yaoyao was born, the family's money had been kept, and good luck had been rolling in.

However, when Old Lady Liu heard that Yuan Lao Er wanted to work for the escort agency, she was the first to disagree. In fact, escorting an escort was almost like risking one's life to make money. It would be fine if one did not encounter bandits during a trip, but if one did, it would be risking one's life.

"Second brother, I don't agree with you going to the escort agency. It's too dangerous. What if something goes wrong? You have to think more about Yaoyao."

It's no wonder that Old Lady Liu was worrying too much. It was really too dangerous to go on a escort mission. Moreover, they might not return for a month, and the people waiting at home would be worried to death.

"Mom, it's okay. Have you forgotten that I'm good at archery and martial arts as well?" Yuan Laoer said.

They have not been lazy recently. Every day before dawn, they sit in horse stance in the yard and practice the movements in the book given by Yaoyao.

Yuan Laosan even made a special dummy for them to practice on.

The Yuan family looked at Yaoyao who was nestled in Shen Chulan's arms. At this moment, Yaoyao was drooling at the food on the table. The saliva flowed into her neck. She swallowed her saliva with a greedy look on her face.

Seeing someone looking at her, she pointed her chubby finger at Spicy Rabbit Ding, "Oh, ahhhh, aba aba!"

It smells so good, I want to eat it, I’m so greedy!

Everyone laughed when they saw this.

"Yaoyao, you can't eat it now. When you grow up, grandma will make steamed egg custard and meat porridge for you." Grandma Liu's face was full of smiles.

Yaoyao's eyes did not move away from the spicy rabbit cubes, and her saliva flowed even more when she heard what Old Lady Liu said.

The guys were so angry that they were sweating and had runny noses.

Guoan wiped his nose and said in a baby voice, "Sister, when you grow up, I'll catch some bugs for you to play with."

Just as he finished speaking, he was hit on the head by Old Lady Liu, "You bastard, if you dare to catch a snake for your sister to play with, I will throw you into the river to feed the fish."

The other boys laughed while holding their bowls.

Guoan pursed his lips and shed tears of grievance.

Bugs are so cute, why can’t I catch them and give them to my sister to play with?

Old Lady Liu got back to the point. "Anyway, I won't agree to this. Give up on this idea. If you dare to escort someone, don't blame me for cleaning up the mess!"

Although this was a harsh statement, it was also out of concern for Yuan Lao Er.

In the end, Yuan Laoer chose to listen to Old Lady Liu.

Shen Chulan also disagreed, "I agree with what mother said. If you dare to go escort, I dare to divorce you!"

"Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't go." Yuan Laoer quickly raised his hand to admit his mistake.

The third son's wife was driven by Old Lady Liu to the yard and knelt down. She smelled the fragrance of the food and listened to the laughter of the Yuan family. She curled her lips and said, "Hmph, she's just a little girl. Why should she get all the benefits? She even has to save up a dowry for her. What a joke."

After the meal, the three boys went out and called their friends in the village to play in the river.

Old Mrs. Liu walked around in the yard and passed by the third son's wife without even glancing at her.

Shen Chulan cooked a few of her signature dishes in the evening and invited Lu Jiu, Xiao Ci, Nanny Nan and others to her house for dinner to thank Lu Jiu for introducing her to the owner of Qingshuilou.

"Get up." Old Mrs. Liu said with a sullen face.

It is impossible to expect her to do anything wrong. Even if you ask her to kneel for a whole night, the third brother's wife still won't be able to tell you.

It’s better to turn a blind eye and make yourself feel better.

The third daughter-in-law rubbed her knees and stood up. She looked at Old Lady Liu with resentment in her eyes and said, "You old hag, just wait, you'll cry!"
