Chapter 475 The soft and bullying sister-in-law VS the sinister brother-in-law who was borrowed 25
Just when Qian was enjoying his meal, Wang, who had gone to Qingyuan Temple to burn incense, came back.
Chen Mufeng followed behind, dusty and exhausted.
Mrs. Wang's face darkened when she saw that the table in the main room was in a mess and most of the pastries were missing.
Without saying a word, she picked up the broom in the room and hit Qian, cursing at the same time:
"You lazy and greedy woman, can you eat something as valuable as a pastry? Even if you only eat one, you still need to eat more than half of the box. Why don't you finish it all?"
Although she didn't know where the pastries came from at home, she estimated that her daughter Chen Sangyu, who was married to the town, brought them.
When her daughter took back her parents' belongings, but Ms. Qian ate them, Ms. Wang was naturally angry, so she beat her even more severely.
Qian was beaten so hard that she ran around in the hall, "Mom, I was wrong, please stop beating me!"
But Mrs. Wang was so angry that she couldn't stop, "Are you wrong? You say that every time, but when did you change it? This pastry was brought back by Sang Yu to honor our two elders. Why is it your turn to eat it?"
"You're lazy and greedy. If you don't do anything serious all day long, you only know how to eat secretly. Let's see if I don't beat you to death today..."
Mrs. Wang chased Ms. Qian with a broom and beat her. Despite her age, her legs and feet were quite nimble, and the beatings were really hard, one after another.
Mrs. Qian was jumping up and down in the yard, howling.
Her son Erniu was so frightened that he sat on the ground and cried loudly, and the whole yard was filled with chickens and dogs.
Daya and Shitou were also frightened. Mrs. Zhao hurriedly took her two children and hid in the house without going out to persuade them.
Because Mr. Qian is really annoying.
Chen Mufeng frowned, as if he didn't see his mother beating his second sister-in-law.
Go straight to the kitchen to fetch water and wash up.
After a long day's journey, my whole body was covered in dust, and I felt uncomfortable if I didn't wash it off.
Yu Yao sat in the room and watched with relish, which was more interesting than reading a storybook.
She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, looking leisurely and contented.
It was actually boiled water, and she put some jasmine flowers picked and dried in the mountains in it.
Qian couldn't stand the beating anymore, so she simply hid in the house, closed the door, and didn't even care about her son Erniu crying outside.
Ms. Wang chased her to the door and slammed the door hard, "You damn bitch, if you can, don't come out. If you do, I will continue to deal with you."
Erniu was crying with tears on his face, pulling on the corner of grandma's clothes, "Grandma, stop hitting mom, I will make mom obedient in the future."
When Mrs. Wang saw her grandson's pitiful appearance, most of her anger dissipated. She cursed a few times and took Er Niu back to the main room.
Qian didn't dare to show his anger in the room. It wasn't until dinner time that he dared to come out cautiously.
Qian came out of the house tremblingly, her eyes still red and swollen, and there were several broom marks on her face.
Chen Xiuhe saw the marks on his wife's face and frowned: "What's wrong with your face?"
Qian was aggrieved upon hearing this and wanted to complain, but Wang glared at her and she dared not complain. She hesitated and said: "It's nothing, I accidentally dropped it myself."
After saying that, he didn't dare to look at Mrs. Wang, and walked to the dining table with his head lowered and sat down to eat.
Wang snorted and stopped glaring at Qian.
Chen Xiuhe looked at his wife Qian, and then at my mother. There was nothing he didn't understand.
This lazy woman must have done something to make me angry and got beaten.
He shook his head and didn't pay much attention.
The meal was eaten in silence.
After the meal, Yu Yao was responsible for clearing the dishes, because the dinner was cooked by Zhao, and as for Qian
Don't count on her either.
She put away the dishes and chopsticks, cleaned the stove, and was about to fetch water to wash up when she saw Chen Mufeng coming to the kitchen.
"Sixth brother, why did you come to the kitchen? Do you need to fetch water to wash up?"
When Yu Yao saw him, she thought he was here to get hot water.
Chen Mufeng hummed. Seeing that there was no one else in the kitchen and no one was coming this way, he took out a red brocade bag with the word 'peace' embroidered on it. It looks like a peace charm, obviously it was requested from the temple.
He just walked over with the kit and handed it to her, blushing and whispered: "Third sister-in-law, this is what I asked for you at Qingyuan Temple. I hope you can be safe and go well."
She reached out and took it with a smile, gently rubbing the lines on it. She didn't expect that this man would remember her when he went to the temple to burn incense, which was good.
"I will accept this peace charm, thank you."
Yu Yao put the peace charm in her pocket. If she wasn't afraid that others would see it, she would hang it on her body.
Chen Mufeng looked at her quietly, thinking that the third brother's body was gradually recovering. This was a good thing, but his heart felt empty and dry.
There is nothing in my heart that feels good.
He moved his lips and spoke with difficulty: "Third brother's health is gradually improving. I am happy for Third Sister-in-law. From now on."
Before Chen Mufeng could finish speaking, she suddenly interrupted him, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, "Are you really happy?"
He instantly froze on the spot, looking flustered and a little at a loss.
His eyes dodge, not daring to look directly at the gaze that seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
After a while, he whispered: "It is a good thing that the third brother can get better. Of course I... I am happy."
His voice was trembling, as if he was trying to convince himself.
Even if he was unhappy, he was his third brother after all. With the current situation, he could only show happiness.
Yu Yao sneered, her eyes getting sharper, "Really? Then why have you been so distracted and depressed these past two days?"
Don't think you can't see his forced smile.
"No, the third sister-in-law must have seen it wrong."
Chen Mufeng looked increasingly flustered and did not dare to stay in the kitchen, so he turned around and left in a hurry.
Seeing him running away, Yu Yao sighed softly, knowing that Chen Mufeng was lying, just like she was also deceiving herself.
She poured some hot water from the pot into the wooden basin, mixed some cold water in it, and took it to the house to wash up.
Chen Xiuyuan has gotten much better. Previously he could only move his hands, but now he can also move his legs.
Of course, you can also sit up.
Today she fed Chen Xiuyuan the remaining half of the health pill, thinking that in a few days, he would be able to walk.
After she washed herself, she applied some heat and someone helped Chen Xiuyuan wash her.
At this moment, he was squatting in front of Chen Xiuyuan, washing his feet.
To be honest, it was Yu Yao's first time to wash someone's feet. When she was a palace maid, she had never washed the emperor's feet before.
Chen Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed and moved his feet, "Ms. Yao, I can just wash it myself."
Yu Yao didn't like to serve others. After hearing what he said, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then wash it yourself. Be careful. If you have difficulties, call me."
She got up and went to the yard to get water to wash her hands.
His eyes fell on the room next door with an oil lamp on. Apparently, Chen Mufeng was reading at night.
She stood there and watched for a moment. Money was most needed to study for the imperial examination. Although the Chen family was not bad, it was difficult to support a scholar.
At this moment, she was thinking about whether to secretly give some money to Chen Mufeng, but she couldn't explain where the money came from.
Thinking that the original owner was taking over embroidery work in the town, he took notice.
I was also thinking that I would secretly follow Chen Mufeng when he went to take the imperial examination.
Anyway, Chen Xiuyuan has been cured, and the 30 taels of silver as a bride price for marrying the original owner has been repaid, so no one owes anyone anything.
It's not that she hates Chen Xiuyuan, it's just that she doesn't want to live such a life.
But deep down in my heart, I felt that this was unethical. After all, Chen Xiuyuan did nothing wrong.
For a moment, she was so entangled in her heart that she couldn't sleep at night.
