I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 24
What happened to the old girl?
I didn't eat your rice again!
Why is your mouth so short?

Zhou Chenyu whispered in a low voice that today was the ancestors' dinner party. She didn't want to cause trouble, so she just smiled and listened to Chen Cuiping's words in one ear and out the other.

Seeing that she didn't refute, Chen Cuiping pushed even further, and laughed without shame: "That's true. My eldest brother was so ill a few years ago. Who would be willing to marry her? If he marries her, then he won't have to use his family's wealth to support his mother's family?"

"Now that my eldest brother is gone, there is indeed no burden. But who would have thought that at such an old age, there would be no good men to choose from? That is, those widowers whose wives have died dare to ask for her."

Several other women nodded repeatedly, feeling that what Chen Cuiping said made sense.

The old lady also looked at Zhou Chenyu, "Chen Yu, you have to hurry up."

How dare the widower...dare to ask for it?
Zhou Chenyu rolled his eyes, this woman really dared to suggest this.

Li Xiuju heard the lively chat here, washed her hands and walked towards this side, "Aunt Lin, are you here too?"

When Chen Cuiping saw her coming, she smiled hypocritically: "Sister-in-law, we were talking about your Chen Yu and looking for a young man for her."

Another woman followed Chen Cuiping's words and kindly advised: "Xiuju, you are a real mother. Your child doesn't understand, and you don't understand either? Shen Yu is so old. If you don't find a man to marry, I'm afraid I won't even be able to give birth to a son in the future."

"Sister is someone who has been through it all, and understands how difficult it is for women." Chen Cuiping looked at her precious grandson and added angrily, constantly irritating her.

When Li Xiuju heard this, the smile on her face suddenly turned cold. Looking at Chen Cuiping's successful face, the resentment that had been accumulated in her heart for several years was about to explode.

Li Xiuju's hands under the table were clenched tightly into fists, but now that the elderly were present and it was Qingming Festival, she swallowed all her resentment back into her stomach and smiled kindly:
"It's up to me, the mother, to worry about Chen Yu's marriage in our family, so I don't need you to worry about it."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" Chen Cuiping teased, eyes widening: "We are not all for your own good."

Chen Cuiping wiped off the oil stains on her precious grandson's face and said reluctantly: "Chen Yu is the eldest daughter of our Zhou family after all. We can't really become an old girl and stay at home with you for the rest of our lives, right? We are a family. Naturally You don’t care, but it’s hard to stop others’ mouths.”

"I don't want to keep her by my side forever. If there is a suitable person, I will happily marry her off." Li Xiuju looked at Zhou Chenyu and rejected Chen Cuiping.

Chen Cuiping sighed lightly, "Sister-in-law, how can you choose a suitable person at her age? In my opinion, you should find someone to marry as soon as possible, right?"

Obasan, who was beside Chen Cuiping, fanned the flames again, "That's right. If this girl is a few years older, she won't be able to give birth to a son in the future."

"That's enough!" Li Xiuju got completely angry when she heard this, and slapped the table hard, attracting crowds of villagers.

Zhou Chenyu saw Chen Cuiping secretly exchange a proud look with that woman, thinking that no one noticed, but she didn't know that she was watching them all.

It turns out that these two people are a team, specifically looking for trouble.

When Chen Cuiping saw that Li Xiuju finally got angry, she immediately restrained her aggressive aura and pretended to be pitiful, "Sister-in-law, we also saw you as an orphan and a widowed mother. We were so pitiful that we worked hard to find a way for you to find Chen Yu." Husband-in-law. Why are you not only ungrateful, but also angry at us?"

Everyone who didn't know the whole story heard Chen Cuiping's words, thought that the truth was true, and started talking about Li Xiuju's fault.Li Xiuju had already expected that this was a trap set by Chen Cuiping for her, but she still couldn't help but lose her temper. Now she couldn't argue and her body was shaking violently.

"Old lady, don't worry, I'm here with you." Zhou Chenyu gave Li Xiuju a reassuring smile, stood up slowly, faced Chen Cuiping, and returned the favor in kind, pretending to be pitiful. Miserably: "Auntie, I know you are worried about me, but how can I bear it?"

Can't bear it?
Chen Cuiping wiped away her tears. After being teased last time, she felt that it was difficult to deal with this smelly girl when she saw her smile.

What the hell is this girl up to?

Chen Cuiping avoided Zhou Chenyu's shrewd gaze, "You are young and don't understand. I am doing this for your own good."

"For our own good? You're not doing well yourself, so why are you worried about us?"

Zhou Chenyu walked between her and Obasan and blinked innocently: "Last time you came to our house to tell us about the hardships you have had over the years, have you forgotten?"

Chen Cuiping turned away and hesitated: "I haven't forgotten!"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten." Zhou Chenyu smiled lightly, "I remember you told my mother that your two sons had forgotten their mother after they married a daughter-in-law. They only listened to her daughter-in-law's instigation. Not only did they not give you food and drink, but they also gave you two meals a day. Look at your old face. It makes you so old that you still have to go out of your way to borrow a piece of vegetable land from my mother."

"Is there such a thing?"

Everyone watched the secret competition between Zhou Chenyu and Chen Cuiping.

Although Chen Cuiping complained about her two daughters-in-law, she doted on her younger son and wanted her older son to provide for him in old age. Therefore, her relationship with her daughter-in-law was still polite on the surface, and her life was manageable.

Now that Zhou Chenyu is talking nonsense and breaking this window in public, and these words have spread to the ears of his two daughters-in-law, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the family in the future.

Chen Cuiping couldn't sit still anymore, jumped up and shouted angrily: "Zhou Chenyu, you are talking nonsense, I just said that my family is too talkative, and I want to borrow a piece of land to grow vegetables and get more harvests. I didn't say anything about my daughter-in-law. no!"

She is in a hurry.

Zhou Chenyu hid the smile in his eyes, looked at the child's pink cheeks, and then looked at Chen Cuiping's thin and sunken face with a distressed expression:
"Auntie, don't be afraid. Although I, Zhou Chenyu, am young, no matter what, I will seek justice for you today. You raised my two brothers with nothing but piss, and even took care of their children. I raised them in vain and fat, but when these two unfilial sons have a daughter-in-law, I don’t want them anymore. If you ask me, if my son marries such a wife, he might as well end up being an old girl like me."

After Zhou Chenyu finished speaking slowly, a young woman walked out of the crowd. She pushed aside the people who were joining in the fun and came to Chen Cuiping, and snatched the child from Chen Cuiping's arms.

The child was hurt and cried loudly.

Chen Cuiping felt sorry for her grandson and cursed: "I hugged him well, why did you take him away?"

The young woman turned her head and sneered, "Didn't you hear? They say that you are the mother who worked hard to raise a son, and I am the evil daughter-in-law who stirs up trouble. I will give you the good reputation, but I will take the blame. This is such a good plan. ! You don’t like me so much, so you asked your son to divorce me! Why are you crying? Cry again when you go home!"
