I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

Chapter 127: Nanny Zhang's Domineering Training of Daughter-in-law

Dinner was prepared by Cheng Yu and Sun, the granddaughter-in-law of the eldest son.

The meals are much simpler, just some meat dishes heated up and then stewed into a big stew.

We have steamed buns and pancakes at home, just heat them up.

After the food was served on the table, Cheng Dafu and Cheng Ergui sat together with the two grandchildren of the Cheng family.

Cheng Yu sat together with her grandmother, her aunt Qian, her cousin's wife Sun, and her little niece, and shared two portions of meat, vegetables, and cakes and steamed buns.

Even though Nanny Cheng has the final say in this family and the two sons and two grandsons of the Cheng family are quite filial to her, when they eat at the table, the men still sit at the big table and the women sit inside.

After lunch, Nanny Cheng sent her two sons back to the farm as soon as possible, so as not to delay their work for the master.

Nanny Cheng talked a lot to her two sons, the general meaning of which was, you are no longer young, you have all started families, and the eldest son of the Cheng family even has grandchildren now, so you should live a good life in the future.

She is old now and can no longer work in the palace.

Qian listened to what Nanny Cheng said and asked, "Mother, do you really want to go out with Sister Yu? You have worked in the palace all your life. If you can't adapt to the outside world, you can't come back..."

"Although I suffered some injustice in the palace. But as a servant, how can I not suffer injustice?"

"Besides, if you go out, what will Mei Jie do?"

Cheng Yu was the chef today. She specially roasted some meat and half a plate was left. Cheng Mei was sitting on the kang, eating the meat with a slurp.

She looked up when she heard her mother talking.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'm doing fine in the front yard."

"Besides, grandma is gone, but my cousin is still alive. I need to find him if I need anything."

Cheng Mei was talking about finding Cheng Bin for a meal.

Cheng Bin immediately said, "You're looking for me? I'm not even sure what I do every day. I may not be here if you want to find me."

The job of the prince is not an easy one. Changfeng was exhausted before, but now that Cheng Bin is busy, Changfeng wishes Cheng Bin would go and do it so that he can have a rest.

Cheng Bin’s job is really not an easy one, and what he said about being busy is true.

At this time, Cheng Mei didn't know the importance of her grandmother's presence, so she kept telling her mother Qian that she worked in the front yard of the palace and had a master above her, so no one could bully her.

Qian was worried at first, but after hearing Cheng Mei's certainty, her inner determination eased.

In fact, there is no need to look at her expression. If Nanny Cheng doesn't want to stay in the palace, that's her business.

Cheng Dafu and Cheng Ergui could not influence the old lady's mind.

Finally, Cheng Ergui said, "Our mother is living outside with Sister Yu, so if we two brothers have money or things, we can send some to her. We don't have to worry about being criticized. I think it's good."

Cheng Dafu nodded in approval.

Qian was not happy.

"I say, second brother, you feed the whole family with one person's food, and you give mother money and things whenever you ask her to. How can we be like you? We have a family to support, and we have grandchildren to raise, but we don't have that kind of money and things."

With a thud, Nanny Cheng threw the teacup on the table.

"What do you mean by saying this, you old lady? Over the years, Mei Jie'er has been living by my side. Have you ever given her food or drinks? Don't say I don't count on you. I don't want your things. When the day comes when I really can't move and need someone to take care of me, I'll have to have you, my daughter-in-law, take care of me. If you don't want to, I'll let the eldest brother divorce his wife."

Nanny Cheng is really not the kind of evil mother-in-law who instigates her son to punish her daughter-in-law.

But what Qian said was so irritating.

"Anyway, my eldest grandson is married now, so I'll divorce you. When my eldest grandson has a little grandson in the future, I'll take care of him. My old bones can still take care of a child."

Hearing her grandmother say this, Cheng Wen's wife, Sun, looked up.

There was a bit of anticipation in the shock, yes, anticipation….

If this fussy mother-in-law was really divorced, she would have the final say at home and outside, and she would never say that she would not give money and things to her in-laws' grandmother.

Now that Qian is in trouble, Cheng Yu will not try to persuade her.

She wished her grandmother would scold Qian a few more times before she would feel better.

Qian was so angry that she almost died, but Cheng Dafu still called her mother timidly.

"Mother, this child cannot be without a mother. Sister Mei is not married yet, so I dare not divorce her."

"If you don't want to divorce your wife, you must learn to respect your elders and love your younger ones. Look at your wife, do you love the two children of her second uncle's family at all?"

"Yu Jie'er and Bin Zi lost their mother when they were young, and they have always respected her as their aunt. Is she worthy of the two children calling her aunt?"

"Yu Jie'er is very lucky. She is destined to become a royal consort in the future. You all just wait for her."

The old lady was holding her breath just now. Qian should never have said in front of her that Cheng Yu had a bad fate and was unlucky.

Qian didn't dare to say anything.

She was afraid that if she said too much, the old lady would get angry and actually instigate her son to divorce his wife.

She is already a grandmother now. If she is divorced and sent back to her parents' home, it would be a disgrace to her entire family.

The old lady got angry and drove away the entire family of the eldest wife.

Sun and Cheng Yu only spent a short time together, only half a day, but she still remembered Cheng Yu's kindness towards her.

"Sister Yu, I'll remember what you said. I'll come to the city to find you when I have time."

"Just come. There's still some powdered milk left that I made for the young lady in the mansion. If you come, I'll get it for you."

Cheng Wen disliked Sun's slowness and scolded her.

When Madam Cheng saw this, she immediately reached out and twisted Cheng Wen's ear, "Wenzi, you grew up in grandma's care. Grandma taught you to treat your wife like this? If you dare to bully my granddaughter-in-law, I will let you go."

Hearing that her grandmother was protecting her, Sun's eyes filled with tears.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Qian, who was walking in front, curled her lips. The old lady was somewhat sick. She didn't love her own daughter-in-law but loved her grandson's daughter-in-law.

Doctor Cheng glared at her.

"That's my mother. If you say bad things about her in front of me, I can still divorce her."

Knowing that Cheng Yu wanted to get milk powder for Sun's daughter, the old lady's great-granddaughter, the old lady told Sun to just come.

She is moving out to live with Yu Jie'er.

Sun left with her husband and parents-in-law, feeling touched and satisfied.

Cheng Mei went to see them off. It had been quite lively just now, but now her parents and brother and sister-in-law were gone, and the place suddenly felt empty. Cheng Mei wiped away her tears with sadness.

"Cousin, you have to be nice to me in the future. It's not easy for me to work in the palace on my own."

Cheng Bin was too lazy to pay attention and turned away.

Cheng Bin and Cheng Ergui went to see off Cheng Dafu's family, while Cheng Yu and her grandmother were sitting inside the house.

Before she could say a few words, her father and brother came back.

"Mom, are you really going to live outside with Yu Jie'er?" Cheng Ergui asked.

Cheng Ergui is dull but filial. When Cheng Yu Niang was still alive, the couple were very filial to her.

Nanny Cheng said that they could no longer stay in this mansion, so they might as well take this opportunity to leave.
