The peasant woman quickly calculated that the entire village had been preparing for a mass exodus th

Zhao Ershu stood there, somewhat conflicted, torn between his mother and his wife.

"Ershu, you came from under my crotch. I raised you with my own hands and feet, and you grew up drinking my blood."

I don't blame you for insisting on separating from the family because of this vixen.

Now, I don't want you to divorce this vixen. Just slap her twice, and that will be enough to repay me for raising her all these years.

"All these years, your mother has never asked you for anything, except for this one wish."

After saying this, Old Lady Sun's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. Today, she was determined to teach this vixen a lesson and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Zhao Ershu, that thing that came out of her crotch, dares to disobey her on such a small matter?

Zhao Sanshi and Wang Shi also waited with bated breath, ready to see Qian Shi get slapped by Zhao Ershu.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ershu stood still and asked Qian Shi, "Peach Blossom Mother, I believe you must have a reason for doing this."

When Qian heard that Old Lady Sun was trying to sow discord between her and Zhao Ershu and was using her position as a mother to pressure him, she was furious.

However, the moment she heard Zhao Ershu's words, her nose tingled and tears streamed down her face.

She threw herself into Zhao Ershu's arms and cried, "They took advantage of our absence to sell the peach blossoms to Master Li for good luck, so he could make them his ninth concubine."

Peach Blossom refused, and they actually starved her for three days. If it weren't for her good fortune, or her quick thinking in running out to ask for help, she might already be...

With a grandmother like that, and uncles and aunts like that, shouldn't I, as her mother, stand up for my daughter?

With red eyes, Qian looked at Grandma Sun and the other two, her eyes filled with anger and hatred, wishing she could skin them alive and send them to the eighteenth level of hell!

"Mother, Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, is what Hongyan said true?"

Zhao Ershu asked in a cold voice.

Grandma Sun's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.

She quickly retorted, "What do you mean, 'real' or 'false'? That's not true at all!"

Seeing Zhao Ershu's gloomy face, Zhao Sanshi and Wang Shi were also a little scared.

They said in unison, "That's right, we didn't do it at all. Second Brother, don't listen to her nonsense."

"Grandma Sun, don't you have any shame? You didn't even dare to admit what you did?"

Zhao Sanshi, a real man should be responsible for his actions. Look at yourself!

Wang, you should stay out of the way and cause trouble from now on!

The village chief's booming voice suddenly rang out from behind them, startling the three of them.

In the time it took to say a few words, the village chief had already walked up to them.

The village chief knew everything that had happened, and the three of them immediately felt guilty.

Seeing this, Zhao Ershu knew that what Qian had just said was true.

He held a piece of meat in his hand, which he was about to send to the Zhao family's old house, and said, "Mother, this is the last time. If you bully Taohua again in the future, don't expect me, as your son, to be disrespectful."

Please stop calling Hongyan a slut from now on. She's not a slut; she's my wife, and she has a name!

Since we, the second branch of the family, agreed not to interfere with each other when we separated from the old house, please abide by the terms of the family division agreement and do not meddle in the affairs of the second branch.

From now on, I will never visit your home again during holidays.

As for the IOU you wrote to Peach Blossom, please repay the eighteen taels of silver to her as soon as possible.

Grandma Sun was so angry that the flesh on her face trembled. How dare Zhao Ershu speak to her like that?

After Zhao Ershu finished speaking, he handed the piece of meat in his hand to Qian Shi and told her to hang it back in the kitchen.

This piece of pork weighed a full three pounds and cost him over fifty dollars.

Why would he still send meat to his daughter and daughter-in-law when his mother treated them so badly?

He couldn't buy a piece of meat like this even after working for two days!

"Second brother, what are you doing? Didn't you tell Mother about the Mid-Autumn Festival gift?"

When Zhao Sanshi saw that Zhao Ershu was about to take the meat back, he was so anxious that he reached out to grab it, but Zhao Ershu blocked him with his body.

Zhao Ershu had been doing hard labor for many years and was all muscle, unlike Zhao Sanshi, who had been protected by Grandma Sun since childhood and had hardly ever done any heavy work. He was no match for Zhao Ershu.

“I’m not sending them anymore. I won’t send them anymore. If anyone dares to harm my daughter and daughter-in-law again, I, Zhao Ershu, will not stand against them. Even if it’s my mother, it won’t be allowed.”

Zhao Ershu said with a gloomy face.

"Fine, fine, you've grown wings and don't even want your mother anymore. You unfilial son, I've raised you for nothing."

"If I'd known you were like this, I should have drowned you in a spittoon back then, so you wouldn't be growing up and making me angry now!"

Grandma Sun never expected Zhao Ershu to be so tough, even threatening to sever all ties with her and stop giving her gifts during holidays.

Grandma Sun was furious. Today, she not only failed to get the twelve taels of silver back, but also failed to get Zhao Ershu to deal with that vixen Qian Hongyan. She even lost her Mid-Autumn Festival gift.

She had originally planned to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival today to ask Zhao Ershu for more money to take back home!

The village chief frowned at Granny Sun and lectured her, "Granny Sun, stop causing trouble. If you didn't have any evil intentions, why would Peach Blossom Mother be so angry?"

Even though you and San Shi harmed Tao Hua, Tao Hua still saved you without holding a grudge.

You don't appreciate such a good granddaughter, and instead you keep coming to cause trouble.

This time, Peach Blossom subdued the mischievous wolves at the foot of the mountain in the village, so everyone will never encounter wolves again when they go to the foot of the mountain.

Furthermore, she also discovered a way for everyone to get rich: dig up medicinal herbs and sell them for money.

Originally, I was going door to door to inform everyone that Uncle Xiangping would teach everyone to identify medicinal herbs this afternoon, and that everyone could go dig them up and sell them for money tomorrow.

It seems the Zhao family's old house has been kicked out, and they're forbidden from learning to identify medicinal herbs!

As soon as the village chief finished speaking, Zhao Xiangping chimed in, "That's right, the village chief is right. I won't teach the people from your Zhao family's old house."

Among the villagers who came to watch the commotion, a small number had just received a notification from the village chief, while most were only now finding out.

Everyone praised her, saying, "Peach Blossom is such a good girl, she never forgets everyone."

"Our village's harvest is not good. With the opportunity to sell medicinal herbs, everyone will have an extra source of income!"

"No one has gone to the foot of the mountain in our village for decades. There must be a lot of medicinal herbs there, right?"

The more they talked, the more excited they became, as if they had already made money.

When Grandma Sun heard that the Zhao family was not allowed to identify medicinal herbs at their old house, she became anxious. How could this be allowed?

The medicinal herbs on the mountain are becoming increasingly scarce. Everyone is rushing to dig them all up. What is there left for the Zhao family's old house to dig? If the Zhao family's old house doesn't even recognize the medicinal herbs, how can they dig them up?

She pleaded, "Uncle Xiangping, I was wrong. Please teach us to identify herbs!"

You know our family needs money, and Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu are both of marriageable age. You can't bear to see them remain bachelors, can you?

Zhao Xiangping snorted coldly, completely ignoring her pleas.

"The troublemakers at the foot of the mountain were dealt with by Peach Blossom, and the idea of ​​teaching everyone to recognize medicinal herbs was also Peach Blossom's idea. If you need anything, ask Peach Blossom."

If she agrees, I'll teach the people of your Zhao family's old mansion; if she doesn't agree, hmph..."

After Zhao Xiangping finished speaking, Grandma Sun felt a pain in her chest from anger. How could she beg Zhao Taohua, that little bastard?
