The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

In less than two quarters of an hour, the mule cart arrived at Rongshu Village.

The last time the mule cart appeared, many people came to the village entrance to watch the fun, and the same was true this time.

After Song Yuntang got off the mule cart at the door of her house, Xu Qingye followed her into the yard carrying gifts.

"Happy birthday, Mom."

Zhao Qiao'e came out with a smile on her face, "Tang'er and uncle are here."

Zhuzi Zhuangzi took a leave of absence today and was at home. When he saw Xu Qingye, he looked very reserved. After all, he had taught them before.

In the courtyard, besides Song Jinbao's family, there were also his eldest uncle Song Jinzhu and his wife Wang Hongying, his grandparents Song Xingye and his wife Lin, but no one from his second uncle's family was there.

There are also a few others who are relatives from Zhao Qiao'e's mother's side.

Two uncles, two aunts, one aunt, and two cousins.

Song Yuntang knew both of these cousins. One was called Zhao Xiaolan, who was five months older than her and would be seventeen by the end of the year. The other was called Zhao Xiaotao, who was fourteen this year.

When the original owner left the Lin family, many of the clothes and jewelry she brought with her were taken away by these two people through coaxing and stealing.

She didn't have many clothes and jewelry at the time, but these two people were eager to take the valuable ones.

When asked for accountability afterwards, they joined forces with Zhao's two aunts. Zhao was a stubborn person and had been bullied by her two sisters-in-law since she was a child. This continued even after she got married, so in the end, the matter was left unresolved.

At present, the emerald pearl flowers on Zhao Xiaolan's head and the beauty bracelet on her hand, as well as the agate pendant on Zhao Xiaotao's ear, were all jewelry from the original owners.

The original owner didn't care about things, but she was not like that.

Even if these things are given to the Zhao family, they cannot be given to these two thieves for free.

After Song Jinsheng pulled the mule cart into the yard, Song Jinyuan hurried forward to help him unload the mule cart and took the mule to feed fodder.

After Zhao brought the person in, she took the gift from Xu Qingye.

"You guys can just come over later. Don't waste money buying these for me. Things in town are expensive now. My son-in-law's schooling in the county is also very expensive. We have to save money."

However, she is happy that her daughter and son-in-law are willing to bring gifts to celebrate her birthday, which shows that they are filial.

The Song family members were all friendly when they looked at Song Yuntang.

However, the Zhao family, who knew only a little about her, glanced at the material of Song Yuntang's clothes and the agate tassel hairpin on her head with a sarcastic look.

Although I don't know the value of the goods, the material of the clothes looks soft and comfortable, and the hairpin is extremely exquisitely made. It is obvious that they are good things.

These women from farming families may not even get to wear it once from childhood to old age.

"Song Yuntang, didn't I hear you've made a fortune doing business in town? Looking at all the clothes you're wearing, they must have cost several taels of silver, right? For your mother's birthday, you only bought her a few snacks and some candy? That's only a penny of silver, right?"

The person who spoke was Tian Cuiyun, Zhao's second aunt.

Song Yuntang touched the silver bracelet in his sleeve pocket, frowned and looked in her direction.

Originally, she was planning to give the silver bracelet to Zhao Qiao'e in private, so she didn't take it out just now, which caused people with bad intentions to misunderstand her.

Seeing that Song Yuntang looked unhappy, Zhao had a pleading look on her face.

"Second sister-in-law, don't say that. Tang'er usually takes good care of the family."

"Looking after the family?" Tian Cuiyun sneered and glanced in Song Yuntang's direction. "She wears fine fabrics and jewelry we've never seen before, dressed like a lady from a wealthy family. On the other hand, you live in the most shabby adobe house and wear patched clothes. You call this looking after the family? Don't make me laugh to death."

Although the living quarters and clothing at home have not changed, the food is much better than before.

It was difficult to fill her stomach before, but recently not only can she eat her fill, but every meal is white rice. Liu's stomach is so full that it is bulging, which shows that the little grandson in her belly is being well taken care of.

"Second sister-in-law!" Zhao Qiao'e was so angry at Tian Cuiyun's words that she showed her toughness for once. "I don't allow you to say that about Tang'er. She can make money because of her ability. Right now, she remembered my birthday and is willing to come to visit me. I am already very satisfied. Don't try to sow discord between us mother and daughter here!"

She had finally managed to ease the tension between her and Tang'er, but if Tian started to stir things up, and Tang'er was stubborn, what would she do if she stopped coming home?

Tian Cuiyun has always had a hot temper.

She also didn't expect that her sister-in-law, who had been bullied by her for many years when she was in the Zhao family, would dare to yell at her.

It's the other way around!

She stood up and pointed at Zhao Qiao'e and shouted angrily.

"Zhao Qiao'e, you have a pig's brain? She fell from your body, and you gave her life. Shouldn't all the money she earns be yours too? She dresses well herself, and yet she bought you two bags of food for your birthday. Do you think that's reasonable?"

Zhao looked at Tian Cuiyun who was yelling at her. Perhaps because she had been oppressed for a long time, she felt scared and her momentum weakened a little.

"This is our family's business. It's none of Second Sister-in-law's business whether it's right or wrong! Anyway, I won't allow you to say anything bad about Tang'er again. If Second Sister-in-law doesn't listen, you're not welcome in our house."

Tian Cuiyun wanted to say something, but was stopped by her sister-in-law Liu Qiuyan.

"Sister-in-law, stop talking." He turned and smiled at Zhao Qiao'e, "Qiao'e, don't argue with your sister-in-law. You know, she is always straightforward and doesn't have any bad intentions."

Although Tian Cuiyun was a hot-tempered person, she always listened to Liu. When she saw her wink, she sat down.

Seeing this, Zhao Qiao'e ignored them.

Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaotao smiled at each other, with a calculating look in their eyes. They hurried forward and each stretched out a hand, trying to hold Song Yuntang's arm to get closer to him.

But Song Yuntang suddenly took two steps back.

"Stop right there! Don't get close to me!"

Just kidding, the original owner was used by them like this to get close to her, and she lost her silver and jewelry.

The original owner was quiet and soft-tempered. As a young lady from a wealthy family, she was not able to cope with the fierce woman from a farmer's family.

She wouldn't make such a mistake.

Zhao Xiaolan and Zhao Xiaotao, who were stopped, were stunned and a little surprised.

In the past, although Song Yuntang didn't like to get close to them, due to his good upbringing, they greeted him with a smile, and Song Yuntang at least looked acceptable.

They have never been humiliated as directly as they are today.

When she reacted, Zhao Xiaolan's face was full of grievance.

"Cousin, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before. Is it because you've made a lot of money now and think we're poor?"

Seeing that Song Yuntang was unmoved, she turned her gaze to Xu Qingye, who was tall and handsome beside Song Yuntang.

Scholars are the most noble, and many of them regard money as dirt.

Especially since Mr. Xu in front of me used to be a teacher in Rongshu Village for five years, I have the impression that teachers like him are not only aloof but also pedantic.

He should be very strict with his wife.

"Brother-in-law, you are a scholar, you must talk to Tang'er. Money is only a thing outside of the body, so don't ruin your reputation by despising the poor and loving the rich."

As she spoke, she wanted to go forward and pull his sleeve, but Xu Qingye slightly turned sideways, avoiding her without a trace, and looked at Song Yuntang with gentle eyes.

"I know Tang'er. She's definitely not someone who despises the poor and loves the rich. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married me. She must have her reasons for doing this."
