Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

"She's been divorced for several years and has been living at her parents' house ever since." Mu Qin's revelation was a huge bombshell.

Wang Qing'er loved listening to gossip, even gossip related to her husband.

She's definitely a bystander, but even bystanders don't eat their own melons, right?

No wonder, she went back to her parents' home after the divorce. Is she trying to have something with my husband?

Why didn't you do this in the past? If you had tried to seduce him back then, you might have actually succeeded. But now, there's no chance at all.

Wang Qing'er asked Mu Qin, "Was she close to your older brother before?"

"No, not close. Before, some people in the village wanted to match her up with my older brother, but she was different..." Mu Qin suddenly realized that she had said something she shouldn't have, so she quickly covered her mouth and didn't continue.

She just hadn't realized that she had already revealed the important parts.

"There really was a problem. I knew it! The first time I went to town, Xiuhe kept staring at me!" Wang Qing'er muttered to herself. Only then did she remember that she had been on the mule cart when she went to town before. No wonder her back looked so familiar.

"Oh? Sister-in-law, don't overthink it. There's nothing between her and my brother! He only has my sister-in-law in his heart." Mu Qin quickly spoke up for her brother.

"Muqin, didn't you just say that someone in the village wanted to matchmake your older brother and her, and that she disagreed at the time?"

Mu Qin knew she had let something slip and couldn't hide it any longer, so she said somewhat angrily, "Well, she didn't agree to our marriage back then because she thought we were too poor and in debt. Eh? So why is she suddenly bringing tea today? Did she see that we've paid off our debts and spent several thousand taels of silver to buy a mountain, and now she thinks we're rich and wants to come and support us?"

"Hmph, she really isn't a good person. She's a snob and loves the rich. Luckily, she didn't agree back then, otherwise I wouldn't have such a good sister-in-law." Mu Qin walked over and took Wang Qing'er's arm, acting coquettishly.

Wang Qing'er was surprised that Mu Qin's analysis was so insightful; she used to seem lukewarm and didn't talk much.

Calling her older brother to pick them up from so far away, and even specifically mentioning that her sister-in-law was bringing tea, was probably just a way to make sure Xiuhe could hear.

Judging from her performance today, I really underestimated this girl; she has a pretty strong reaction ability.

Wang Qing'er gave her a thumbs up and said, "Muqin, you're amazing. I never expected that you, who are usually so quiet, would be so insightful."

"Sister-in-law, although I don't usually say it, I listen a lot, and I understand everything as I listen! I know very well who is good and who is bad, and you are the best, sister-in-law." Mu Qin said with a bit of pride, not forgetting to flatter Wang Qing'er.

"So your older brother agreed back then?" Wang Qing'er asked unexpectedly while Mu Qin was still feeling a little smug.

"Huh? No, no, my older brother doesn't agree. How could my older brother possibly agree?" Mu Qin reacted quickly, shaking her head and waving her hands in denial, though she felt a little guilty.

She remembered that her eldest brother said that it was up to Grandma and Mother to make the decision, which was actually a tacit agreement.

However, at that time, Yao'er was looking for her mother all the time, and she would mistake any woman in her teens or twenties for her mother and ask her to hug her.

When someone held her, she wouldn't let go. At that time, she couldn't speak yet, she could only cry and fuss. She lost a lot of weight and was sick several times.

For Yao'er's sake, that's why Grandma and Mother wanted my eldest brother to remarry.

The eldest brother only agreed because he felt sorry for Yao'er.

However, it was different for the eldest sister-in-law. The eldest brother secretly went to see her first before agreeing to the marriage.

Actually, that's not quite right. It was the older brother who went to help his older sister look after her brother and accidentally saw his sister-in-law.

Later, the eldest brother's sister-in-law's grandmother proposed a marriage exchange between the two families, and the eldest brother agreed without hesitation.

At that time, the second brother and Mu Lin asked the eldest brother, saying that the two of them had never met, so how could he agree to it so hastily?

My older brother replied that we had met, and I remember he blushed at the time.

The older brother must have taken a liking to the older sister-in-law, right?

Muqin's little brain couldn't quite grasp it for a moment.

"Why are you here? The sun is so strong, aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?" Mu Nan rushed over barefoot.

"I'm afraid of the sun, but I'm even more afraid that my husband will be kidnapped by someone else," Wang Qing'er pouted and said irritably.

“Qing’er, I…” Mu Nan was speechless.

"I'm going to Dad's first. Big brother, can you help sister-in-law get some tea?" Mu Qin said to her older brother, giving him a "good luck" look before disappearing in a flash.

"What do you mean, 'you'? If I hadn't come to bring you tea today, I wouldn't have known that my husband has a mistress in the village. Tell me honestly, are there any others?" Wang Qing'er teased her husband, pretending to be angry, to see his reaction.

"Qing, Qing'er, I, I didn't! I didn't have a single one." Mu Nan stammered in her anxiety.

Wang Qing'er enjoyed watching his silly appearance and chuckled, saying, "Hurry up and take the tea over. Do you really want to drink the tea she brought?" After teasing Mu Nan, Wang Qing'er walked towards the edge of the field on her own.

He muttered to himself, "What an idiot, not even wearing shoes, doesn't he worry about hurting his feet?"

He was thinking that he had to go and meet that Xiuhe in person to see who she was and how she dared to act this way knowing that he had a family.

"I only drink the tea my wife makes." Mu Nan quickly picked up the tea and followed behind his wife.

"Father, uncles and elder brothers, come up and have some tea and rest for a while." Wang Qing'er called out to the people in the field as she walked to the edge of the field. She, as the rightful owner, had to assert her dominance!

Who could blame her for being so popular with her husband? He's the type that young girls and young wives all adore.

"Oh my! This is Mu Nan's wife! She's so beautiful."

"Brother Mu, you're so lucky. Mu Nan's wife is definitely a lucky charm for her husband," an uncle who saw through Xiuhe's thoughts said deliberately.

Thinking back, it was his idle old woman who tried to matchmake Mu Nan and Xiu He, but Xiu He refused because she thought the Mu family was poor.

Now that the Mu family is doing well, I'm trying to get close to them, but it's too late! Mu Nan's current wife is not only young and beautiful, but I've heard that the Mu family's rise is also thanks to this girl. She's the one who brought the braised meat recipe.

This uncle's surname is Wang. His wife is a matchmaker, but she's not a professional. She just likes to arrange marriages for people, and she has actually managed to bring together several couples.

Uncle Wang's son works at Fuxianglou Restaurant in town. The Mu family is doing braised meat business with their restaurant. His son had already told them about the Mu family's braised meat business when he came back a while ago.

Another thing is that every time Mu Xiao goes to the restaurant to deliver braised meat, it's always about how my sister-in-law does this and that, and how she says it should be done!

So everyone in the restaurant knows that the braised meat recipe was conceived by his sister-in-law, and that his sister-in-law's cooking is delicious. Recently, there's also a new product she makes: fragrant soap that not only cleans away body odor but also smells wonderful and relieves itching.

He can't stop talking about his sister-in-law.
