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

As soon as Yuan Sheng and Yuan Laifu returned home, Zhu Chenxi and Sheng Guihua greeted them.

Sheng Guihua asked excitedly, "How much did you sell today?" She deliberately lowered her voice, afraid that someone might overhear her.

Yuan Laifu put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and said, "Let our son speak."

Sheng Guihua slapped her husband's arm, "You're shaking now!"

"I've been holding it in all the way here, I can't help but shake it off at home."

Yuan Sheng smiled as he looked at his parents. "Mother, it sold for twelve taels and four mace."

Sheng Guihua wanted to laugh out loud, but fearing that others might overhear, she covered her mouth and laughed instead.

Yuansheng took out some pastries from Daoxiangcun and handed them to Chenxi.

Zhu Chenxi pouted, "Why buy such nice things!"

Her heartless stepmother and stepsisters were a bunch of wolves in sheep's clothing. If it weren't for wanting to go back and get back the twenty taels of betrothal gift from the Yuan family, they wouldn't have bought fifteen coins' worth of jujube paste cakes.

Before her stepmother put her in the sedan chair, she asked her neighbor Er Mao to pass a message to her friend, asking her to find a way to tell her father that if he knew she had been sold by her stepmother and came home to see her, she would have a way to get back the twenty taels of betrothal gifts given by the Yuan family.

In other families, the bride price and dowry are equal, or even more. Her father is a scholar who values ​​his reputation; if he knew she had been sold by her stepmother, he would definitely return the twenty taels of bride price.

But since the matter was not yet settled, I didn't tell Yuan Sheng.

"Your mouth is practically dripping with oil. This is for you and your mother." Then he took out a piece of pastry wrapped in plain oil paper from the basket. "Here, this is the jujube paste cake that my wife ordered for fifteen coins."

Zhu Chenxi gently pinched the soft flesh on Yuan Sheng's waist.

Yuan Laifu was dissatisfied. "You only feed your mother and your wife. What about your father?"

Yuansheng took a piece of red bean paste pastry and placed it near his father's mouth, "Dad, you eat first."

Dad is such a big kid.

Zhu Chenxi took a piece of red bean paste pastry and handed it to her mother, then took another piece and handed it to her husband, and finally took one for herself.

This red bean paste is fragrant, crispy, soft, delicate, and incredibly delicious! It's absolutely wonderful!

Sheng Guihua looked delighted. "It's so delicious! I'm getting old, but thanks to my son, I'm also enjoying Daoxiangcun's red bean paste pastries."

Yuan Laifu took a small bite and said, "No wonder it's so expensive, it's damn delicious. Eight red bean paste pastries cost eighty coins, almost as much as eating meat."

Zhu Chenxi also ate in small bites, sitting opposite her husband, her mouth and heart filled with sweetness.

Yuan Sheng felt happy to see his family enjoying their meal; that's the meaning of making money!

He also needs to speed up the process of making money so that his sisters can have a better life.

After Yuan Sheng and Zhu Chenxi finished eating the red bean paste pastries, they went to their room to change into new clothes and shoes, preparing to return to their parents' home.

Yuan Sheng put on the new robe made by Zhu Chenxi. The robe was indigo blue with dark black embroidery. Yuan Sheng also wore a new square scarf on his head, exuding a commanding presence. Although he was wearing cotton clothes, he had a subtle air of nobility.

In this era, ordinary people could also wear long gowns, but students all wore them. Commoners, on the other hand, mostly wore short-sleeved shirts and long trousers for convenience when working.

Zhu Chenxi wore a pale yellow long dress and a pale yellow long jacket. If you only saw half of her face, she was stunningly beautiful and radiant with youthful energy, making you think she was a young lady from a wealthy and noble family.

When the two walked out, Sheng Guihua and Yuan Laifu were both stunned.

Is this their son? Even the young master of a landlord's family doesn't have this kind of air about him.

My daughter-in-law is also very beautiful, but it's a pity that she has a birthmark on most of her face. If only that half of her face could be restored!

After saying goodbye to their parents, Yuan Sheng and Zhu Chenxi headed towards the village entrance. Zhu Chenxi's family home was in Zhongping Town, which was fifty or sixty miles away from Qingshan Town. Yuan Sheng planned to hire Uncle Niu Gen's oxcart directly.

The two were spotted before they even reached the gathering point under the big locust tree at the village entrance, and it caused quite a stir!

Good heavens! Is that handsome young man in brand-new clothes Yuan Sheng?

And that woman in the pale yellow dress with delicate embroidery, is Yuan Sheng's ugly wife?

I must say, this ugly wife looks absolutely stunning in this outfit, even just looking at half of her face!

Someone started it up, saying, "Have you heard? The Yuan family borrowed a lot of money to bring good luck to their family!"

"I heard that some people borrow money and don't pay it back, yet they live a life of luxury."

“I heard from Butcher Wang that Yuansheng bought dozens of kilograms of meat and ate mutton offal soup with sesame seed cakes. Old Yuan’s family bought eight sets directly.”

"Yes, yes, I also heard Erniu's wife weaving that Yuansheng and his wife bought five bolts of cloth!" "Five bolts of cloth? Can you believe it?!" The old woman held up five fingers, still looking incredulous.

"Look at their outfits again. Look at the embroidery. It doesn't look like they made it themselves. I guess they bought it from a clothing store. I estimate that the two pieces must have weighed at least an ounce!"

"They eat and dress well, yet they owe money and refuse to pay it back? I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless. If Butcher Wang hadn't told us, the rest of the villagers would still be in the dark."

"Oh my god, that's so outrageous! Who owes you money? Go and collect it from them right now!"

"I heard that Sheng Guihua's six daughters also lent them a lot of money. Except for the one who is not married, they lent them all. They are living a life of luxury by drinking the blood and flesh of their daughters!"

"Yuan Laifu and Sheng Guihua are getting more and more senile as they get older."

Hearing everyone say this, Zhang Wen was overjoyed! "Old Yuan family, your reputation in Shanhou Village is ruined! Let's see how you'll get along in Shanhou Village from now on!" He raised his voice and said, "I live right next door to the Yuan family, how could I not know? They eat meat every day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, sometimes three meals a day! Not only do they eat meat, but I can smell the white rice too! The Yuan family is living like landlords now."
