The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

Seeing Cuihua's reaction, Tong Qian couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips. "You should believe me now, right?"

"You think everyone's like you, just trying to cheat? Sister Zhao, this person isn't that kind of person. He's so rich, why would he need to lie to you? Look at you! I already said it: do you not trust me, or you don't trust Sister Zhao, or you don't trust your son?"

Tong Qian's tone was noticeably harsher.

Cuihua's face flushed after hearing that.

Cuihua had wanted to argue with the woman all these years, but thinking that she had indeed wronged her daughter-in-law earlier, and hearing this woman's mockery and teasing, even though she felt bad, she couldn't say anything.

"Fifth brother's wife, please don't talk like that anymore. I just wanted to confirm something. You should be more careful in everything you do. It's not that I didn't trust you."

After all, this is a large, existing house for us; it's a big deal, and we absolutely can't take it lightly.

Tong Qian, of course, wouldn't listen to this old woman's explanation; she was just being stubborn. None of the woman's words were true. Tong Qian coldly replied, "You know better than anyone else what you're thinking. You don't need to explain yourself to me here."

……

Cuihua couldn't say anything more.

When Lao Si saw Cuihua like this, he felt particularly uncomfortable. Cuihua's actions just now clearly showed that she did not trust Tong Qian.

He was very dissatisfied with Cuihua's complete distrust of her son and daughter-in-law regarding the house and money.

I feel that as a family member, we should not be estranged at all, let alone to this extent.

This is truly disheartening.

Fourth Brother's face turned cold, and he said to Cuihua, "Mother, now you see, this thing is real. Are you finally satisfied?"

When Cuihua heard her fourth son's expression, she knew he was angry. Just as she was about to say something, she met his gloomy gaze and could only swallow her words.

Cuihua felt that no matter how much she explained, it would be useless, so why waste her breath? Anyway, she had already gotten what she wanted, so other things were not so important.

Cuihua beamed with joy and was very polite to Lao Si, "You've come all this way, you must be very tired. Go inside and rest now, I'll make you something delicious later."

Faced with Cuihua's ingratiating expression, the fourth brother nodded very calmly.

His mother's actions really disappointed him, so he didn't want to say another word.

Cuihua tried to ingratiate herself a few more times, but seeing how cold Lao Si looked at her, she finally gave up and stopped talking to him.

If things continue like this, things will turn around. The fourth brother is now unwilling to talk to her at all. Cuihua feels that what she did before was also a bit wrong. If things continue like this, the fourth brother will feel even more upset.

Cuihua thought that her son would be beyond her control after he grew up, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad. But thinking that she had already achieved what she wanted and that she would be able to live in the county town soon, Cuihua put all her guilt aside and became happy in an instant.

Tong Qian and Ji Xiuping followed their fourth brother into the house and sat down.

A few people were chatting at the table, just talking about everyday things.

When the villagers saw the fourth brother return, they couldn't help but join in the fun. After they had asked him about the matter, they went back to their own homes.

However, after Cuihua learned that she had her own house, she couldn't help but start showing it off in the village.

She acted as if she was afraid that no one would know she had bought a house in the county town.

In the eyes of these country folk, let alone buying a dozen houses in the county town, even owning a small house is considered a great thing. After all, things in big cities are especially expensive, particularly in the county town, where a house can cost several hundred taels of silver, which is something very few people in the village can afford.

In this rural area, being able to come up with ten taels of silver at once is considered very good, and one can live a very comfortable life in the village. Not to mention being able to come up with several hundred taels of silver at once to buy a house in the county town.

So Cuihua couldn't help herself. Besides showing off that she had a house in the county town, she also said that she would move to the county town in the future. Moreover, she told all the old women about this situation, just to say how much better the county town was than the village. The better the county town was, the more envious other people would be of her.

Otherwise, Cuihua felt that she couldn't demonstrate any sense of superiority in this village.

The few people in the village were mostly women who had never been to the county town, especially those who only knew how to work at home and never went out.

The men in the family mostly do the work, and the two of them run around and have been to almost everyone in the county town. But the women are different, so when Cuihua talks about how great the county town is, some people can't help but chime in.

Those old women were naturally gossipy, so they couldn't help but ask what the county town was like.

After some people asked, Cuihua felt that she finally had a chance to speak, and she started talking non-stop and talking energetically.

Seeing the envious looks in these people's eyes, Cuihua felt particularly proud. Every time, she truly felt superior, and everyone's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Old Mrs. Liu was among them. After seeing this, a woman couldn't help but say, "Aunt Liu, I heard that you went to the county town once when you were young."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Old Mrs. Liu.

It's because this old woman had been to the county town, while they had never been there. So it's acceptable for some people to brag about it, since some of them have already been to the county town and experienced those things, which is part of their life experience.

Having been to a county town means you've seen the world and witnessed what the outside world is like.

At first, Grandma Liu thought she could brag to the villagers about what she had done in the county town.
