After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

He went inside without giving me a second glance.

Standing beside Jiang Zhiyun, Zhang said softly, "Won't you think our family isn't respecting our guests enough by coming like this, Mother-in-law?"

"If you say that you are unfilial, it will probably cause even bigger trouble in the future."

Seeing that Zhang was about to open the door, Jiang Zhiyun said, "She won't give up, Mother. Don't worry, I'll just let her suffer a bit."

"Put away the matsutake mushrooms at home first." Jiang Zhiyun looked at Zhang Shi, who immediately went to do so.

Although they didn't know the connection between the two, they didn't dare to delay after hearing what Yunniang said.

Fresh matsutake mushrooms can be sold, but Yunniang said that dried matsutake mushrooms are worth four times more, and can be kept at home waiting for a good buyer.

Moreover, this matsutake mushroom was not ruptured, and its cap was opened perfectly, making it one of the finest quality.

Zhang had originally hoped to sell this many matsutake mushrooms for two taels of silver. However, Yunniang suggested that she could process them at home, which would take longer, but they could still fetch eight taels of silver.

In any case, Zhang believed it.

Hearing that there was no more movement outside, it seemed that Zhao Guifen had gone to change her clothes. She would be back in a while.

At that moment, Aunt Hong ran over: "Yunniang, what happened to your family? Why is Zhao Guifen here? Do you need my help?"

As a neighbor who enjoys watching the excitement, Aunt Hong has been keeping a close eye on what's going on here.

“There really is one.” Yunniang pinched her chin. “I need Aunt Hong to help me invite the old patriarch of the Jiang family over. Today, I want him to see my mother’s true colors.”

Aunt Hong asked incredulously, "You...you want to renounce your citizenship?"

"Yes."

He's really bold!

Aunt Hong certainly wouldn't dare to be careless about something like this: "I'll bring the person over in a bit, and then I'll cooperate with you."

After Jiang Zhiyun expressed her gratitude, she continued to supervise Xie Shuheng's work.

Seeing that Xie Shuheng was doing a good job, Jiang Zhiyun turned her attention to the chickens she had bought.

Jiang Zhiyun is good at making all kinds of chicken dishes, such as lotus leaf chicken or Sichuan pepper chicken, but she is really not good at killing chickens.

First, boil some hot water. Jiang Zhiyun picked up a kitchen knife and examined the chicken.

The man and the chicken stood frozen for a long time before Jiang Zhiyun took a knife and slashed at its neck.

Unexpectedly, the knife had no effect at all, and the chicken even became agitated and started kicking its legs at Jiang Zhiyun's face!

It was like he was having a seizure.

Jiang Zhiyun was busy covering her face. Seeing that the chicken was about to run away, Xie Shuheng quickly steadied Jiang Zhiyun, then took the cleaver, grabbed the chicken's wing, pinched its head, and cut off the blood vessel in its neck.

This time, it didn't even hop around; the chicken just died.

Xie Shuheng quickly put the chicken into the boiling water to scald it, and then plucked its feathers.

Jiang Zhiyun was slightly stunned. Looking at Xie Shuheng's swift and efficient way of killing chickens, she forgot that this person had killed countless people in his past life and knew exactly where to kill.

For some reason, she felt a chill on her neck.

He's usually quite talkative, but right now he can't say a word.

Then Xie Shuheng turned around, and by this time all the chicken feathers had been cleaned up.

He asked, "What's next?"

"I'm also good at knife skills." Xie Shuheng took on the task of butchering the chicken as well.

Although Jiang Zhiyun was still a little confused, she didn't miss the opportunity to order Xie Shuheng around.

"Take out the chicken fat inside, and look at those little chicken intestines, we don't need them. Keep the bones, and leave some meat for us to stir-fry."

She was already bossing people around in the later stages of her previous life, and back then she had a whole bunch of people with her. Now she doesn't seem embarrassed at all when she's ordering Xie Shuheng around.

If he slipped or made a mistake, Jiang Zhiyun would say very seriously that he couldn't do it well.

After Xie Shuheng finished speaking, he looked at her, and she shrank back, as if she was a little scared.

It's kind of interesting to be afraid but pretend not to be afraid to bolster your courage.

On the other side, out of Jiang Zhiyun's sight, Xie Shuheng smiled slightly. This wife was truly interesting. He was just a little curious, though; why was she afraid of him?

After throwing in the chicken bones, Zhang put away the matsutake mushrooms in the inner room. Looking at the two of them, she couldn't stop smiling. It seemed that her wish to hold her grandson could come true.

Just then, Jiang Zhiwan and Zhao Guifen appeared at the door.

Jiang Zhiwan spoke first: "Mother, how could you be bullied like this? Someone splashed water on you. If I hadn't seen it, you would have been so embarrassed. If we women are out in such disheveled clothes, wouldn't we be scolded by Father when we get back?"

Zhao Guifen sighed, "Isn't this all Yunniang's doing? I raised such a daughter; it's my own misfortune."

Zhang opened the door, and Jiang Zhiyun started splashing water on him.

Zhao Guifen and her daughter rushed in, hugging each other tightly. Their disheveled escape almost made Jiang Zhiyun laugh out loud.

Jiang Zhiyun sighed feigning surprise: "I already told you, Mother, to let us know before you come. Why didn't you listen?"

"I almost splashed you again. If you then tell the village chief or the government that I'm unfilial, I'll have no way to defend myself," Jiang Zhiyun said, looking aggrieved.

Zhao Guifen was furious; she felt like she had been tricked.

Pointing at Jiang Zhiyun, he said, "You! Yunniang, your personality has really changed these days."

"You don't look like my daughter at all, you idiot. You don't even remember who your mother was after marrying into the Xie family, do you?"

After saying this, Xie Shuheng stood in front of Jiang Zhiyun: "Mother-in-law, please have some self-respect. This is my home. Yunniang is my wife, and she is not someone you can beat or scold at will."

Xie Shuheng pretended to be a gentleman, then looked at Zhang Meiqing and nodded slightly.

Zhang Meiqing's hand trembled slightly, and she seemed a little unnatural. Then, she took some hesitant steps while Xie Shuheng and Zhao Guifen were talking.

I weakly called out, "Mother-in-law."

"Your upbringing..." Zhao Guifen hadn't even finished her rambling.

Zhang Meiqing awkwardly slapped her.

That slap was incredibly crisp!

There were no special techniques involved; it was all just solid, hard smashing. Even Zhang's hands were starting to hurt.

Zhao Guifen was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Jiang Zhiwan, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled her aside: "Mother! Mother, this family is full of shrewish women!"

Jiang Zhiwan found it unbelievable. Zhang Meiqing in her previous life was clearly a coward, yet now she was actually standing up for Jiang Zhiyun?

It's ridiculous. In her previous life, when she married into the Xie family, not a single person in the Xie family spoke up for her. Why? When she was bullied, Zhang Shi didn't care at all, acting like a quail and not daring to say anything.

Now... she actually stood up for Jiang Zhiyun?

What's so good about Jiang Zhiyun?

Before Jiang Zhiwan could even get angry, Zhang Meiqing said something even more infuriating: "In this Xie family, I am Yunniang's mother. If you have something to say, please don't resort to insults. We are all civilized people; let's speak politely, shall we?"

Zhao Guifen found it unbelievable. She was the one who was beaten, and she was the one who was splashed with water! Now the Xie family is saying she caused trouble?

Still so sincere, it's unbelievable!

Seeing that Zhao Guifen was still making a scene, Jiang Zhiwan wondered if the Xie family was deliberately causing trouble.

We can't follow the rhythm.

Now, trying to remain calm, she continued, "Auntie, brother-in-law, we've come to see Yunniang. We have some things to discuss privately regarding family matters, so please excuse us for a moment."

Jiang Zhiyun was also moved by the cooperation between Zhang and Xie Shuheng.

She never expected that these two people would protect her.

Now, Zhang nodded to Xie Shuheng, indicating that she could handle it, and then helped Xie Shuheng back into the house. Only the mother and her two daughters remained outside.

Jiang Zhiwan said, "Yunniang, my mother and I came to see you with good intentions, but we never expected your family to treat you like this. You've become too arrogant, just like the Xie family! There are many people here today, so as the eldest sister, I will refrain from punishing you for now."
