Wu Chong was proud in his heart, and he could not help but show it on his face.
He was no longer as humble towards Chen Jincai as before. Instead, he looked like he did not think much of him.
Although the in-lawâs eldest uncle was the village chief of Yongfu Village, he could not reach into town. His eldest cousin was now a farmer, and his second cousin was said to be working in some workshop.
Oh, right, itâs a workshop in Yongfu Village. Itâs not very promising.
In Wu Chongâs opinion, there was something wrong with the Chen father and sonâs brains. They actually degraded themselves to be long-term workers in the villageâs workshop. What were they thinking?
Wu Chong felt that his in-laws could no longer help him.
He didnât care much about Chen Yulanâs visit today. However, he wanted to vent his secret pride. He just wanted to see Chen Jincaiâs miserable state.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jincai was different from what he had imagined. He seemed to be very happy with the hoe.
Wu Chong could not vent the joy in his heart, so his face remained dark.
Chen Yulan came back at this time. When Wu Chong saw her, he wanted to return to town as soon as possible. He didnât even want to stay for dinner.
However, Chen Yulan didnât agree. âMom isnât back yet. Letâs have lunch before we leave. I saw that Eldest Aunt and Sister-in-law are busy in the kitchen. Itâs not good to leave just like that.â
Madam Wei happened to hear this when she came in with a teapot to add water to them.
She pursed her lips secretly. When she returned to the kitchen, she could not help but mutter to Madam Song, âShe knew that we were busy in the kitchen, but she didnât come in to help. Didnât you see that Young Masterâs eyes were almost rolling up to the sky? I didnât know before, but now I realize that heâs just a superficial person.â
Madam Song snorted coldly. As she picked the vegetables, she said, âWhatâs so strange about that? I already said that the Wu family is not a good match. Second Aunt still thinks that Iâm a busybody.â
The two sisters-in-law also had small conflicts on a daily basis, especially after they lived together at home. They often disliked each other.
However, now that they were facing a common enemy, it was obvious that they really did not welcome the visitors.
Madam Zhou berated, âAlright, itâs rare for her to come. Itâs only a meal. Theyâll leave after eating.â
Madam Wei muttered softly, âSheâs not willing to eat at our place. If it werenât for the fact that Second Aunt isnât back yet, they might have gone back.â Madam Zhou paused. âHis second aunt isnât back yet? Where did she go in such a short time? Thereâs no family in the village that sheâs especially close to.â
She couldnât figure it out. Madam Fang didnât like to go out in the past. After Chen Yulan got married, she only came back once or twice. At most, she would stay in their house and leave in less than four hours.
This time, she said that she would accompany Yulan to meet her friends, but Yulan was already back. Where else could Madam Fang go?
Madam Zhou and the others did not know that Madam Fang, whom they had missed, was at home not far from them.
Not only her, but Jiang Yongkang was also at home.
At this moment, the two of them were criticizing each other without showing any weakness.
Madam Fang wanted to push the blame to him. âGu Dajiang is indeed back. You havenât made any progress for so long. Itâs too late to do anything now. Letâs not waste time and return to town.â
Jiang Yongkang was so angry that he wanted to laugh. âAlright, Iâll go back then. Whereâs the money? I spent so much time and Iâve stayed in this lousy place in the countryside for so long that I have lost weight twice. I canât possibly not get any benefits, right?â
The two of them were so engrossed in their fight that they did not notice that someone was hiding outside with a cloth bag in his hand.
