stingy landlady

Chapter 222 Qian Shi Suddenly Returns to the Old House

Guizhi said softly:

"Father! Mother! What will we do if the Jiang family makes a big fuss about my eldest sister eloping in the village? How will my eldest sister ever be able to go out again?"

Let's hide my eldest sister so the Jiang family can't find her! If they dare to spread this around, we'll have a serious talk with them and demand her back!

Anyway, they won't find him even if they come to search the house. We'll just hand him over to the authorities and charge him with trafficking in innocent women. They'll be in deep trouble!

Li said with concern:

"Guizhi! Your eldest sister has never had a child before and is already in a period of postpartum confinement. She needs to be very careful with this first pregnancy! She absolutely must take good care of herself! Otherwise, it will affect her ability to have children in the future!"

"Can you manage without someone close to you to take care of you? Besides! You're all unmarried young ladies, it's not appropriate for you to serve your eldest sister! I'll go instead! Waaah!"

"Guizhi! Your eldest sister needs her mother the most right now! I have to go see her! Waaah!"

Guizhi! I'm always worried about you when I can't see your eldest sister!

Dazhu had been pondering Guizhi's words, and Li's constant crying also annoyed him. He scolded Li:

"Alright! Enough said! You're showing off now! Where were you before? Alright! Don't make things worse! Guizhi already said to hide it and not let anyone know!"

If you're not home, and people come and don't find you, their mother, there, they'll naturally become suspicious. What if they come looking for you?

What if they follow you and then trace the clues back to Gui Xiang? I think you're just doing something unnecessary! Gui Zhi isn't stupid, she'll find a doctor for Gui Xiang, won't she?

I just heard Guizhi instruct Jinxiu to serve Guixiang! You stay home and don't go anywhere! Just pretend this never happened!

Dazhu then smiled and asked Guizhi,

"Guizhi? What did the doctor say about your eldest sister?"

Guizhi looked at Dazhu and found it amusing:

"Dad! You're worried about my eldest sister, aren't you? Don't worry! I've found a doctor! The doctor said she should rest well after childbirth and prescribed some medicine for her! He also prescribed a lot of tonics!"

"Mom and Dad! I asked my fourth aunt and Jinxiu to take care of my eldest sister! My fourth aunt has given birth and gone through postpartum recovery, she has experience. Mom! Now you can rest assured!"

After finishing talking about Gui Xiang, Gui Zhi said to Da Zhu:

"Dad! Let's go for a walk in the village tomorrow morning! Let's see how many people in our village grow vegetables! We also need to discuss with the village chief how to harvest the vegetables!"

Dazhu was still thinking about Guixiang when he heard Guizhi mention the village's vegetable planting. He quickly said:

"Guizhi! I've been paying attention these days, and most families with vegetable gardens have planted cucumbers and green beans! I'm thinking we won't join in this trend this year!"

I planted persimmons and chili peppers! Persimmons are hard to manage, but we planted quite a lot of chili peppers!

They've also planted quite a few sweet potatoes! Our farmhands heard they could plant them for free, so they all came over and took a lot of sweet potato seedlings to plant! Sigh! These are all people who can't afford to buy vegetables, so they're planting them!"

“Father! There is always a way out. Heaven cherishes life, so we should also do good deeds.”

"Yes! Father understands!"

Li muttered from the side:

"You two have such kind hearts, yet you have the leisure to care whether other people's vegetables can be sold or not! Why isn't anyone showing any kindness and helping my poor Guixiang! Waaaaah!"

Well! The more Li thought about it, the more upset she became, and she started crying again!

Dazhu and Guizhi shrugged. Dazhu said:

"Let's go! Your mother is heartbroken! Let her cry here by herself! You go and eat too! I'm going to check on Aunt Lan! Aunt Lan is pregnant!"

When Li heard that Dazhu had gone to see Aunt Lan again, she felt both angry and aggrieved, and cried even louder. Guizhi was helpless; the blisters on her feet were from walking all by herself. She sighed and went outside with Dazhu.

In the morning, Dazhu and Guizhi discussed it and decided to go to the old house to find the old man first. Having an old man accompany them to the village chief's house made it seem more solemn. Besides, it was the old man who led the village chief to Dazhu's house in the first place.

To Dazhu and Guizhi's surprise, they could hear the commotion from afar at the old man's house.

It turned out that the third son, Wang Yifei, had returned home to help with the wheat harvest, and Qian Shi had also returned with the children in a surprise visit. She had already left Huanghua Village when she was about to give birth in September.

Sure enough, a big, healthy baby boy was born as soon as they returned to the old house! The old man and the old woman were very happy, and Wang Yifei also secretly came back to visit a few times.

Madam Qian had no idea! She was hoping that the old man could harvest an extra season of wheat, and she had intended to ask the old lady for more money to pay for Xiaoquan's schooling.

Because Qian's decision was impulsive, she didn't inform anyone. Little did she know that Wang Yifei was keeping a mistress in his hometown, and they even had a son together!

The Qian family was no pushover either, and they caused a scene at the old house! They wanted to kill Jiu Yue, who had just given birth not long ago. Her body wasn't that agile, and Wang Yifei would never allow the Qian family to harm his precious child.

He used his hand to stop Qian from making a move. Qian, consumed by hatred, couldn't catch September and scratched five fingernail marks on Wang Yifei's face!

When Wang Yifei touched the painful spot, he found blood. Enraged, he shoved Qian Shi away and kicked her hard! He kicked her to the ground, where she whimpered and dared not get up!

When Dazhu and Guizhi entered the courtyard, they heard Wang Yifei cursing Qian Shi:

"You jealous woman! I'm divorcing you! You dare to lay a hand on us? I won't even bother hitting you! And you're still ruining things!"

I could knock you over with the flick of my finger! What's wrong with me taking a concubine?

Why don't you learn from your sister-in-law? Your brother refused to take a concubine, but your sister-in-law took the initiative to do so for him. One wasn't enough, so she found two more young and beautiful women to serve him!

I only just took one as a concubine, and you're already crying and wailing! Huh?

Dazhu was called out by name and touched his nose embarrassedly.

Qian lowered her head, crying and arguing back:

"That's because my sister-in-law couldn't give birth to a son, so my brother took a concubine, okay? I gave you both a son and a daughter. I didn't mind that your family was poor. I only married you because I valued your kindness and affection towards me!"

You! Wang Yifei, you bastard! You insulted me and hit me! I want a divorce!

"Oh, you've got some nerve! You want a divorce? I'm being nice by not divorcing you! You jealous woman! Look at how well my brother's life is going, it's all because of his wife's virtuousness!"

You keep saying you don't have money for your child's education, you spendthrift woman, all you think about is your own petty schemes! Don't you ever think about whether your man is willing to be generous?

Look in the mirror and see all those things on your face. No man could bring himself to touch them! I wonder where that gentle and kind-hearted Qian Shi went?

Everything is changing now, and people should change with it, but you're still clinging to the mentality of being a young girl! You're already in your forties or fifties, and you still think you're a young girl! Humph!

Learn from your sister-in-law in the future! A wise person knows when to yield!

All Qian could do was sob and cry.
