Wealthy beyond measure, yet you call me a sister-supporting-brother demon?

Zhang Wen's face immediately darkened.

Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua were furious!

Yuan Laifu slapped Yuan Sheng across the face, but Yuan Sheng was prepared and dodged it with a quick step.

"You worthless wretch! It was one thing to not do anything productive before, but now you've actually gone and stolen?! Those two officials at the village entrance are here to arrest you!"

Yuan Laifu cursed as he searched for a stick, ready to hit his son!

Zhang Wen pretended to stop them, feigning that he couldn't.

Sheng Guihua cried and pounded Yuan Sheng's chest, "I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck to give birth to such a troublesome brat like you, you're trying to drive your mother to her death..."

“Father, Mother! Listen to me, I earned the money by selling tea eggs,” Yuan Sheng said loudly.

Yuan Laifu was angry and didn't hear clearly. He grabbed a fire poker and was about to hit Yuan Sheng.

Seeing this, Zhu Chenxi stood in front of Yuan Sheng and said loudly, "Dad, the money was earned by Yuan Sheng from selling tea eggs, not stolen."

What?

Yuan Laifu would never hit his daughter-in-law, no matter what, and stopped when he heard Zhu Chenxi shout.

"You're saying this money came from selling tea eggs?"

“Yes, Father, Mother, we sold the recipe for tea eggs to the manager of Donglaishun, the biggest restaurant in town.” Yuan Sheng said succinctly.

“I’ll be your witness,” Zhu Chenxi said, raising her hand.

Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua stood there dumbfounded, while Zhang Wen, Ma Guifen, and Old Lady Zhang were also completely bewildered.

“Bao’er? Is this true?” Sheng Guihua’s voice trembled.

"Really." As he spoke, Yuan Sheng was about to take out three fingers and swear to the heavens.

Yuan Laifu quickly pulled down his three fingers, saying, "Dad believes you, okay?"

Zhang Wen and Ma Guifen were still in a daze! How could this be?!

How could Yuan Sheng, that scoundrel, have earned all this silver and meat?

Him?!

Earning this much money in one day?!

A lazy bum who doesn't know anything?!

Hearing that the police were coming to arrest people at the village entrance, if Yuansheng really stole the money, he wouldn't lie. He would definitely cling to Yuansheng's leg and beg for help.

Therefore, everything Yuan Sheng said is true.

Yuansheng really got incredibly lucky!

Oh dear, my well! My half-acre plot of land! Ma Guifen felt her heart, liver, and lungs ache.

Zhang Wen's face was contorted with rage. He was almost in control of the well and the land, but Yuan Sheng, that bastard, ruined it all.

It felt like there were ten taels of silver on the ground, and he had already bent down, about to pick them up, when Yuan Sheng kicked them away. Zhang Wen felt incredibly angry.

He was so angry he could hardly breathe.

Yuan Sheng, that scoundrel, is rotten to the core. He hit the jackpot and made some money, but he'll spend it all quickly. Look at those meaty women, they're the kind of guys who can make money off others.

Thinking this way, Zhang Wen felt a little more at ease.

Furthermore, Yuan Pan'er will soon have to go back to her parents' home to ask for money. If she can't get ten taels of silver, she will be divorced. For his daughter's sake, Yuan Laifu will have to sell the well and the house.

That well and that plot of land still belong to him!

I got so excited just now, how could I have forgotten about that?

Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

After a long while, Grandma Zhang finally understood what had happened. She was genuinely happy for Sheng Guihua. Yuan Sheng had finally grown up and become sensible, but he still hadn't corrected his extravagant spending habits.

Who would have thought that Yuansheng made such a fortune by selling his son! The wedding brought good luck and chased away bad luck; the Yuan family will surely have good fortune from now on.

"Guihua, Laifu, I still have to go to the village entrance to pick up my relatives, so I'll head back first."

"Sister-in-law, let me see you off." Sheng Guihua and the others escorted Old Lady Zhang to the door of the woodshed.

Zhang Wen and Ma Guifen didn't come out. They were very eager to find out how Yuansheng made so much money using the tea egg recipe, and how much money Yuansheng actually made. So the two of them stayed and refused to leave.

Yuan Laifu frowned. These two had no sense at all. "Brother Zhang Wen, Sister Gui Fen, I have something to attend to at home, so I won't entertain you any longer." Yuan Laifu directly saw the guests out.

"Oh... okay." Zhang Wen seemed to finally realize what was happening before he started walking out.

When Zhang Wen and Ma Guifen returned home, they immediately pressed their ears against the wall next to Yuan's house to eavesdrop.

Yuan Sheng pointed to the Zhang family's house, indicating that his parents should go inside to talk.

As a result, Zhang Wen and Ma Guifen didn't hear a thing.

As the group entered the main room, Sheng Guihua quickly asked, "Bao'er, what exactly happened? How are you so capable! Tell us about it again."

Feeling a little embarrassed by his own self-praise, Yuan Sheng gestured for Zhu Chenxi to recount what had happened.

Zhu Chenxi's voice was pleasant, her words clear and logical, and she spoke with great rhythm. Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua felt as if they were there, witnessing how Yuan Sheng used his eloquence and wit to earn two taels and one thousand coins.

As Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua listened, their cloudy old eyes brightened.

Great! Great! Their precious child is really promising!

Yuan Sheng thought of the disappointed looks in his parents' and wife's eyes in his previous life, and then looked at their gratified and admiring eyes now. He was filled with mixed feelings.

Thankfully, he's back!

The regrets of the previous life can all be made up for in this life.

As Sheng Guihua listened, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying on such a joyous day?" Yuan Laifu wiped away his wife's tears.

"I was so happy, I couldn't stop crying." Sheng Guihua laughed and cried at the same time, which was a bit comical.

Yuan Laifu was infected and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Their precious child has finally grown up.

Their precious child has made something of himself!

"Father! Mother!" Yuan Sheng hugged Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua.

After everyone calmed down for a while, Yuansheng said, "Dad, Mom, I told you Chenxi is our family's lucky star! Ever since she came to our family, I've suddenly had an epiphany, and my head is suddenly full of ideas."

Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua looked at their ugly daughter-in-law and became more and more satisfied. Apart from a big red birthmark on half of her face, she was fine. She spoke in an orderly manner and was clearly a smart and clever child.

Those twenty-odd taels were well spent!

Sheng Guihua's rough, warm hands grasped Zhu Chenxi's small hand. "Daughter-in-law, don't blame your mother. I'm angry that your stepmother cheated you out of everything, not giving you a single copper coin in your dowry. Your stepmother's dowry included a nice bed and quilt! Sigh!"

Yuan Laifu nodded. If he had told them in advance that he had a birthmark on half of his face, they wouldn't have been so angry.

"Father, Mother, I understand," Zhu Chenxi said obediently.

Yuan Sheng was overjoyed to see that his parents had finally accepted Zhu Chenxi from the bottom of their hearts.

Now this young wife's life at home will be much easier.

In his past life, because of him, his young wife suffered a lifetime of hardship and died a tragic death. In this life, he will cherish her, treat her even better, and make her live a comfortable and happy life.
