Chapter 253 Madam Shen learns that her second daughter's family has made a fortune through business.
Liu Lao Er was shrewd. He thought that if Feng'er and Qingchuan really made a fortune in business, he would have to get a share of the profits. He had to get the couple to take him along.
If there's a real chance to make money, how could I forget my brothers from my mother's side?
He became more and more excited as he thought about it, fantasizing that he would soon become a rich man, just like those prominent wealthy landowners, wearing a long robe, carrying a folding fan, with a money bag hanging from his waist, walking with his head held high, surrounded by people flattering and fawning over him...
Just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly grand!
Seeing her son grinning foolishly, his eyes barely visible, looking like a complete idiot, Shen waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Second brother, at this critical juncture, what are you thinking about?"
Liu Lao Er immediately grabbed his mother's arm and said excitedly, "Mother, let's hurry up and go find Feng'er and her family. If they really make a fortune in business, what are we still doing holed up in Liu Family Village?"
Not to mention working in the fields under the scorching sun every day, they toil away all year round but barely earn a penny.
"Doing business is so profitable! Let's have Feng'er teach us how to do it, and then we can live a life of luxury, like a wealthy family."
Liu the eldest nodded vigorously, "Yes, what the second brother said makes sense. Let's hurry over to Feng'er and Qianchuan and see what kind of business they're doing and how much money they've made."
And Cai'er, if she really went to stay with Feng'er and her family, then we can rest assured.
If Cai'er can go and join Feng'er and Qingchuan, then they have even less reason not to bring their brothers from her family along!
Shen was both surprised and delighted. “Yes, we need to find them quickly and see what kind of business they’re in and how much money they’ve made. They can buy cloth to make new clothes and sell meat during the New Year, so they must have saved a lot of money. Half a year has passed, and we don’t know how much they’ve saved.”
She turned her head and glanced around. The house was old, and her two sons and several grandsons were all crammed together, feeling cramped. It was time to build a new house.
If we had money, we wouldn't build mud-brick houses anymore, but brick and tile houses. They had to be the most impressive in the village, so she could finally hold her head high!
Suddenly, Shen covered her mouth and stood up with a "hehe" laugh, unable to suppress the smile on her lips.
After rubbing his back with alcohol inside the house, Old Liu overheard his two sons and wife talking. He was so excited that his back pain instantly disappeared, and he immediately ran out into the yard.
"Damn it, is what you're saying true? Feng'er and Qingchuan have really made it big?"
Shen snorted coldly and suddenly began to look down on her husband.
"It's pretty much a done deal. You stay here and watch the house. The eldest and second eldest brothers and I will go find Feng'er and her family."
Old Liu opened his mouth to say he would go with them, but his wife had already turned around and led their two sons out of the house quickly.
Old Liu felt neglected and left behind. He secretly wished he had restrained himself and not lost his temper with his wife.
Shen, along with her two sons, went straight to Old Shen's house in Guihua Village.
Sun, who was always lazy and gluttonous, had just returned home from the fields with her hoe when she saw Shen and her two sons. Sun's lips twitched, and she walked past them as if she hadn't seen the three of them, putting down her hoe and leaning it against the wall.
Shen was immediately enraged when she saw that Sun had actually come here to die.
“In-law, although Qingchuan isn’t your biological son, you’re still his stepmother. Our family has come all this way to your house, and you won’t even offer us a cup of hot tea, let alone treat us like dirt. What makes you so arrogant?”
Because of her secret business of making counterfeit braised pig's trotters, Madam Sun committed a serious crime, ruining the reputation of Juxian Restaurant and accumulating a debt of several hundred taels of silver. This ruined the future of her sons. As her sons worked at Juxian Restaurant for a longer period of time, they complained every day. During this time, the house was in chaos, which made her even more angry with Qingchuan and his wife.
Before the family split up, she would be lying in bed right now, waiting for her eldest daughter-in-law or that brat Xiaotang to cook. Now, she has to get up early and work in the fields, and when she gets home, she has to cook for the whole family and take care of everyone.
She had had enough of this kind of life, and her hatred for the eldest son's family grew stronger.
She glanced at Madam Shen and gave a cold laugh. "When your good daughter and son-in-law were fighting to divide the family property, why didn't anyone treat me like a stepmother?"
We're a family drowning in debt, and these people, now rich, are refusing to help their families in their time of need. We'll pretend they don't exist. But I want to ask you, what are you doing here all of a sudden?"
Ms. Shen felt neglected, and her anger was already rising. Hearing Ms. Sun say this, she immediately felt emboldened.
"Ha, the way you're talking makes it sound like Qingchuan and Feng'er are heartless. My daughter, whom I pampered since she was little, married into your family. I thought her in-laws were scholars and school teachers, but who knew you wouldn't let Qingchuan study or learn to read. You even made Feng'er work with Qingchuan from morning till night. Is this how you do things?"
I married my daughter into your Shen family so she could endure hardship and eventually become a scholar's wife. Who knew you would treat her like a mule? I haven't even come to settle accounts with you yet, and this is the attitude you get when I come to your door? So petty and stingy, it's laughable!
Still owing a mountain of debt?
Live it!
Sun was surprised that Feng'er, who was so sharp-tongued, had such a sharp-tongued mother. She was suddenly scolded and was a little taken aback.
Seeing that Sun was stunned, Shen didn't give her a chance to catch her breath and quickly continued, "We didn't come here today to cause you any trouble. Tell me where Qingchuan and his wife moved to, and we'll leave immediately."
Ever since Qingchuan and his wife moved to the town, they've tried everything—from gentle persuasion to harsh words—and their lips are practically worn out, but they still haven't managed to find out about Qingchuan and his wife's new home.
Now they've become like enemies, having long since severed all ties. It's even less likely that they'd know where Qingchuan's home is. Not to mention the Shen family, in the entire Guihua Village, apart from Shuisheng, no one knows where their new home is.
A few days ago, Shuisheng and his mother moved away as well. The Shen family could no longer rely on the eldest son and his wife, so they gave up the idea of finding the eldest son's new home.
She said irritably, "They all moved to town last year. They've become rich and successful, and they've cut ties with us. The eldest even changed his surname. How could we possibly know where his home in town is?"
What?
They moved to the town?
How much money do you have to move to the town?
Houses in town are so expensive, how much money would it cost to rent a place to live? Feng'er and her husband are so wasteful. Why don't they use that money to give to her instead of just renting a house?
Liu Lao Er asked in shock, "They all moved to the town last year, so what kind of business did they run?"
Sigh, it's all their fault for always going to the market in the town near Liujia Village instead of coming to Qinghe Town. Otherwise, how could they have not heard a word about Feng'er and Qingchuan doing business in town?
Liu, who had been standing silently to the side, was so excited that he kept rubbing his hands together.
