After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

Chapter 299 Soft Knife

It’s not that He didn’t complain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was slapped.

Old Madam Fang put her hands on her hips and scolded, "What do you, a concubine, need maids to serve you? I'm the proper mistress of the house, and I should employ servants."

In a word, there is nothing we can do to deal with the He family.

She wanted to make a fuss, but she didn't know who to find, after all, Fang Jin and Miss Wang now lived in the city.

What if she confronts her parents-in-law and the Fang family really divorces her?

Therefore, He returned to her days of working from dawn to dusk, and no longer had time to wander around the village to show off that she had a maid.

As for Mr. Fang setting up a stall, it was simply because he was worried about letting his servants handle the money.

I can only earn a hundred coins a day. What if my servants embezzle it?

So let them all farm in the village.

In fact, he didn't know that the servants of the Wang family received at least one or two taels of silver a month, and they might not be interested in the little money he earned.

"Dad, you must be tired. Why don't we have a cup of tea?" He's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't suppress the sour feeling and forced a smile.

Old Master Fang's face was stern, wrinkled, and he looked even more mean. "He Shi, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Our family is doing well now, and we don't need you to work in the fields anymore. You're out selling things and you're still thinking of being lazy?"

He smiled awkwardly and waved her hands: "Dad, you misunderstood, look over there——"

She pointed towards the mother and daughter at the tea stall.

"Isn't your sister-in-law here? You, the elder, are still busy. Isn't it normal to let her take care of us with tea and snacks?"

Old Master Fang also saw that Qian was chatting and laughing with that money-losing guy, with tea in one hand and fruit in the other, looking quite relaxed.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

Fang Nanzhi is also an ungrateful little bastard, but he is her grandfather.

Since Fang Tong is not here today, it is only right for him to teach his granddaughter a lesson.

Mr. Fang didn't respond, but nodded.

He was delighted and immediately went towards the mother and daughter.

They are both daughters-in-law of the Fang family, so why can Qian Fengping live so well while she has become a concubine?

"Brother and sister!"

Before the person arrived, he started shouting loudly.

"Sister-in-law, why are you still sitting here? Dad has been busy all morning. I'm telling you, a daughter-in-law should be sensible."

As she spoke, He said to the waiter at the tea stall, "Go, bring me the best tea and snacks, and put them on my sister-in-law's bill."

As soon as Fang Nanzhi saw her aunt, she immediately became alert, jumped off the stool, and wanted to protect her mother, but was held back by her mother.

Qian Fengping didn't want her daughter to stand in the way of this kind of thing.

She didn't even stand up. She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said lightly: "Cousin's wife must have recognized the wrong person."

"My biological father and father-in-law both died a long time ago. It's broad daylight, and in a place as literary as an examination hall. It's not right to talk about ghosts and gods, right?"

Somehow, the one sitting there with a nonchalant look on his face, while the other standing there with a murderous look on his face, made it clear who was better.

Fang Nanzhi looked at his mother with sparkling eyes, always feeling that there was something indescribable about his mother. Could this be the overwhelming aura?

"Yes, auntie, don't talk nonsense. There is a county government office not far from here. The county magistrate's authority can also suppress those things."

"Who knows, maybe one of the students in the exam room is Wenquxing, the god of literature, who knows? How can there be any evil spirits around here?"

The people around agreed. They were all relatives of the candidates. Who wouldn't want to hear auspicious words at this moment?

What the hell are you talking about? How can you not be disliked?

He was completely bewildered by Qian Fengping's words, and it took her a while to react. "Sister-in-law, this is exactly what you did wrong. You instigated my third brother to be adopted out, causing unrest in the family. Now you dare to disrespect Dad?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Qian Fengping with a strange look.

What kind of wicked daughter-in-law could persuade her husband to adopt a child? This is extremely unfilial!

Qian Fengping's face immediately turned cold. She stood up and walked to He in two steps.

"Snapped!"

A slap fell.

He covered her face, stunned! How could it be possible that Qian Fengping dared to hit her? She was the eldest sister-in-law, and there was order of seniority!

Before she could get angry, Qian Fengping spoke first: "He, I'm giving you face by calling you cousin's wife, but to be frank, you're just my cousin's concubine now. What qualifications do you have to talk to me?"

"Besides, the Fang family forced my husband into a desperate marriage and then deliberately arranged for him to be adopted. Who is to blame for all these things? Just go to the village and ask around and you will know. Are you able to confuse right and wrong with just a few words?"

Her eyes were colder than ever before.

If what He said just now were true, it would not only ruin Fang Tong's reputation, but also block Yan Ge'er's path to the imperial examination.

She saw how much her child had sacrificed to pass the imperial examination, and as a mother, she had to provide support.

He wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she met Qian Fengping's eyes, she felt inexplicably timid.

This shouldn't be the case. Qian Fengping was so easy to fool before. How come...

"So she's a concubine? Whose family didn't manage their backyard well enough to let a concubine come out and cause trouble?"

"Forcing one's own son to marry into the family, this is the first time I've heard of it. He's already married off, and you still want to act like a filial son?"

Everyone was talking at the same time, and He's face turned red from the pressure he put on her.

But anger was rising in my heart.

In the past, she was the wife of a scholar and the daughter of a scholar, and Qian Fengping was just a widow who brought bad luck to her husband.

How could Qian Fengping dare to speak loudly to her?

But now everything has changed. He gritted her teeth and wanted to throw a tantrum.

Qian Fengping had already taken the initiative to look at Mr. Fang, with a smile on her face: "Uncle, now is the county exam, you have to take good care of your family and not bring shame to your eldest cousin."

The threat is obvious.

Old Master Fang, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines, had no choice but to step forward and yell at He with a sullen face, "Why aren't you coming over yet? You're so embarrassing!"

He seemed to have lost all her strength. She glared at Qian Fengping hatefully and left.

Qian Fengping seemed to have expected this and sat back calmly.

Fang Jin had already failed the imperial examination once, so the Fang family definitely wanted him to pass the exam smoothly this time.

Therefore, Mr. Fang didn't dare to go too far.

Fang Nanzhi brought the teapot, poured a glass of water, and handed it to her, her eyes full of stars: "Mom, you are so amazing? How did you do it?"

She watched the whole process and was able to understand it.

Her mother was a bit like a soft-hearted person, unlike her father, who got around the village mainly by being thick-skinned, unreasonable, and ruthless.

Qian Fengping took the water and gently touched the little girl's head: "It's very simple. First, you have to choose the right time, and second, you have to grasp people's hearts."

In the village, Qian Fengping has always been gentle and unassuming.

The main reason was that the women in the village relied on throwing tantrums to win, so she was naturally no match for them.

But this is a county town, especially outside the examination hall. The people waiting are the families of scholars, and most of them can read. In such an environment, you have to be reasonable.

Convince people with reason!

He's brain is definitely not capable of making any sense.
