Chapter 168: Chapter 167: Double-dealing

The few aunts exchanged glances.

’This woman is so two-faced.’

’That’s not what she said at first.’

Aunt Leng, afraid they might say something more, immediately started shooing them away.

”Alright, aren’t you all going up the mountain? Then hurry up and go.”

The aunts were speechless. They hadn’t even said anything. ’Why is she so angry?’

They wanted to say more, but Aunt Leng shot them a look as sharp as a dagger.

They were old enough to know how to take a hint.

They nudged each other along and left together.

Aunt Leng watched them until they were a good distance away.

Only then did she drop her ferocious expression and put on a loving smile.

”Leng Yuan, they’re all spouting nonsense. Don’t you believe them.”

”I...”

Leng Yuan had little patience and couldn’t be bothered to listen to their pointless chatter.

He rescued Gu Jiaojiao from Third Aunt Leng’s grasp and spoke in a cold voice.

”Aunt Leng, Third Aunt Leng, if either of you says one more word, I’ll have your other sons sent back to keep you company.”

Aunt Leng and Third Aunt Leng were so frightened they immediately snapped their mouths shut.

’That little bastard means what he says.’

’If he really sent their other sons back, their families would become the laughingstock of the entire village.’

Without giving the two another glance, Leng Yuan pulled Gu Jiaojiao back into the courtyard and shut the door decisively, leaving Aunt Leng and Third Aunt Leng completely shut out.

Aunt Leng immediately grew anxious.

”What do we do now? Even mentioning his grandfather doesn’t work on him anymore.”

Third Aunt Leng was silent for a good while before she spoke.

”Tonight, let’s take some spirit money and secretly go burn incense for our father-in-law.”

Aunt Leng didn’t get it. ”What good will that do?”

Third Aunt Leng whispered, ”We’ll have Father-in-law visit him in a dream and teach him a good lesson.”

Aunt Leng was speechless. ”You think that will actually work?”

Third Aunt Leng was just as helpless. ”Do you have a better idea?”

’I guess not.’

’What a mess this has become.’

’We’re even resorting to superstition.’

After muttering to each other for a while, the two decided to fold some extra paper ingots and burn them for their deceased father-in-law.

’What if it works!’

Inside the courtyard, Gu Jiaojiao had already set out the meal.

Leng Yuan saw the two eggs in his bowl and immediately moved one into Gu Jiaojiao’s.

”If we’re out of eggs, let me know. I’ll go buy some more.”

Gu Jiaojiao gave a dry laugh.

’I didn’t add eggs to my bowl because I didn’t want any, not because we were out.’

’I gave him two eggs because I was trying to figure out how to bring up the topic of going up the mountain.’

「At Village Chief Xu’s house.」

Xu Wenwan was hungry.

Her family only ate two meals a day, but Xu Wenwan couldn’t stand it. Chen Xiumin felt sorry for her and would always make her something extra to eat at noon.

She had gotten used to it.

Walking out of her room, she saw Chen Xiumin and asked, ”Mom, is my lunch ready?”

Chen Xiumin still felt a pang of sympathy for her daughter and wanted to sneak off to make her some food.

Just then, Village Chief Xu walked out of the house, his expression dark.

”Eat, eat, eat, that’s all you know how to do all day! You don’t do a lick of work. If you don’t wash the clothes and feed the chickens today, you’re not getting any dinner tonight either.”

’No food?’

For Xu Wenwan, this was like a bolt from the blue.

Her eyes instantly reddened.

”Dad, am I even your daughter? How could you treat me like this?”

Village Chief Xu averted his gaze, refusing to look at her.

”I’m doing this for your own good. All this food comes from everyone’s back-breaking farm work. You want to eat without working? Life doesn’t work that way.”

He couldn’t be bothered to waste more breath on this daughter.

”In short, no work, no food.”

With that said, he called his wife back into their room and went inside himself.

Only Xu Wenwan was left standing alone in the courtyard.

She had never been wronged like this before. She turned and ran back to her room, crying.

「In Xu Chongfeng’s room.」

Chen Xiaoli had seen the whole thing unfold clearly.

She was speechless.

’That sister-in-law of mine sure cries a lot. She starts bawling at the drop of a hat, acting as if she’s been grievously wronged.’

Chen Xiaoli put down the clothes she had just finished mending, only to see Xu Chongfeng sitting to the side, fast asleep and snoring.

Annoyed, she kicked him.

Kicked for no apparent reason, Xu Chongfeng opened his eyes in a daze. ”Honey, what’s wrong?”

Chen Xiaoli: ...

’Your sister ran back to her room crying and locked the door again. You’re asking what’s wrong?’

But she didn’t bother explaining. Instead, she put on a thoughtful smile and said in an incredibly gentle voice, ”It’s nothing. You can go sleep with your son tonight!”

Xu Chongfeng: ...

”No, honey, I think we can talk about this.”

Chen Xiaoli had no intention of discussing it. She grabbed Xu Chongfeng by the ear and shoved him out the door.

”Go find your son.”

Xu Chongfeng was furious.

He didn’t need his wife to tell him; he knew Xu Wenwan must have been stirring up trouble again.

He just couldn’t understand it. How could his sister, who had just come back from the city, cause so much drama every single day?
