Chapter 443: Chapter 0443: Wealth in The Deep Mountains 3_1
Zhao Mingfang was about to lose her temper, but she was strongly pulled back by Wang Fengmei.
"Mingfang, did I not explain to you on our way here? If you keep speaking in this manner, I will not bring you out the next time. You can stay at home every day and accompany your grandmother!" The hint of displeasure on Wang Fengmei’s face conveyed an air of authority, giving her the stern aura of a strict mother in the eyes of the onlookers.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingfang promptly shut her mouth, but her gaze towards Feng Qingxue remained devoid of any goodwill.
It was chilling, much like the icy edges outside.
Feng Qingxue did not place the hostility shown towards her to heart. Her mentality was transparent, and her tactics were also limited.
As long as she and her family were not provoked, she was not interested in arguing. However, if their peaceful livelihood was threatened... well, the same axe she had once used against her sister-in-law was still at home, being used to chop firewood, yet sharpened extraordinarily by Lu Jiang before his departure.
No conspiracy can match raw strength.
Wang Fengmei’s face bore a maternal smile as she apologetically addressed Feng Qingxue. "Your cousin is young, and perhaps the indulgence from her elders has made her a bit forthright. Please be understanding, I truly appreciate your kindness."
Feng Qingxue responded with a slight smile, patting Xibao’s chubby bottom.
"Again with the ’forthright’? That’s indeed a lovely phrase. I apologize for my own forthrightness just now, that’s all it was, simply forthrightness. Please, do not take offense. With no parents to raise me, I’ve grown up in the wild and often offend people without realizing. Fortunately, now that I’m grown, married, and with a child of my own, I have the maternal responsibility of teaching my child manners!"
After listening to Feng Qingxue’s veiled remarks, Wang Fengmei could not maintain her smile.
"Qingxue..."
"Enough!" Wang Zhengguo interrupted Wang Fengmei. "Fengmei, you’ve seen everyone and said your part. It’s late. You and your daughter should head back now. Our place isn’t much, just a crude and rustic land compared to the town. We can’t entertain noble town folks here."
"Big brother, do you really want to send us back on a night journey?" Wang Fengmei was quite upset.
"I’ll have the second and third brothers take you back! From now on, you can stay in town and live your clean, decent lives, and we will live as simple country folks. You don’t need to lower yourselves to visit us and show off your town airs!" Wang Zhengguo directly ordered his two younger brothers, "Go to the cowshed and take a mule cart. Send Fengmei and her daughter back to town. If you can’t come back before nightfall, stay in the inn. I’ll write a letter of introduction for you. I’ll cover the cost of your accommodation!"
"Big brother, do you really think the second and third brothers can’t afford to stay in an inn?" The second brother, Wang Zhenghai, said before giving a good-natured smile to Wang Fengmei and Zhao Mingfang. "The mule cart has been used to carry manure, so don’t find it revolting. Although it’s a bit dirty, it’s more comfortable than walking."
The faces of Wang Fengmei and Zhao Mingfang instantly changed, particularly Zhao Mingfang, who almost retched.
"Wait, when did I say I was leaving?" Wang Fengmei couldn’t help but interject.
She had traveled such a long distance, to the point of experiencing foot sores, could she just go back without achieving her goal? How would she explain it to her husband? She had practically guaranteed success before she departed.
