She was replaced by a husband, married the future tyrant and farmed to fight back

Chapter 117 The return gift made the villagers envious, and Mrs. Liu was so jealous that her nose was crooked

"After picking up my sister today, we will set off in the afternoon and rush to the county town overnight." Liu Erlang said with a smile.

"So urgent?" Liu Yingyue asked.

"The shopkeeper said there is a lot of work recently." Liu Erlang said.

Among the four sons of the two branches of the Liu family, except Liu Dalang who farms at home, the other three work for shop owners in the county town.

"If you hadn't gotten married, we wouldn't have bothered to come back. In the end, there was a lot of work and the pay was high." Liu Silang patted his sleeves and complained a little.

Liu Dalang scowled, "Silang?"

Liu Silang disagreed and curled his lips.

The eldest branch of the Liu family has three sons, and the second branch of the Liu family has one son. In order to make the family look more prosperous, the males of the two branches are ranked together.

Mr. Liu Erye's son is the third among his brothers, so everyone calls him Liu Sanlang.

Her fourteen-year-old brother is Liu Silang.

This kid is just like Liu Huaiyue, he is a scoundrel and likes to run around after Liu Sanlang, the son of Mr. Liu Erye.

"In a few days, I will also go to the county town and take Yingyue with me. Then, I will treat the brothers to a meal." Qin Yi saw that the Liu brothers and sisters were talking in a tense manner, so he changed the subject.

"When the time comes, come to our shop, it's Wanxin North-South Commercial Firm on Jiqing Street." Liu Erlang smiled.

"Okay, Second Brother Liu." Qin Yiran nodded.

As they were chatting, the manager of the village came over and told them that Old Master Qin was waiting for the Liu brothers in the main house.

Qin Yiran and Liu Yingyue, along with the Liu brothers, walked towards the Qin family's main house.

In fact, this small flower hall is not far from the main house of the Qin family, but Qin Yiran deliberately led the three brothers of the Liu family to wander around the farm.

Liu Yingyue watched secretly, and this almost completed a circle of Zhuangzi.

Did Qin Yiran do this on purpose?

That’s right, who asked Liu Dalang to be rude to Qin Yiran as soon as he arrived?

It was still the past.

In her heart, she blamed the Liu brothers for looking down on Qin Yiran.

Liu Dalang used to look down on Qin Yiran and often gave Qin Yiran a cold shoulder. But now that he had seen Zhuangzi's wealth, he felt a little intimidated and his arrogant expression was much less prominent.

Qin Yiran turned around and glanced at him, slightly curling the corners of his lips.

When they arrived at the main house of the Qin family, the Liu brothers were secretly surprised to see Mr. Qin and Uncle Qin.

I thought they were still the same as before, simple and cowardly, no different from the people in the village, but after just a few days of not seeing them, the Qin family's expressions became much more dignified?

Is it the sense of superiority that comes from living in a big manor?
Or is it that you have more confidence now that you are rich and are no longer humble?

Anyway, Liu Dalang didn't dare to show any displeasure, and he bowed and greeted Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin very respectfully.

"Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin." Liu Dalang walked forward, bowed and smiled.

Liu Erlang and Liu Sanlang also greeted him.

Uncle Qin said little. He just smiled and nodded, "Are you here? Come on, sit down."

Madam Qin asked the housekeeper to serve tea and snacks.

On the contrary, Mr. Qin, who looks quite dignified on the surface, is actually a talkative person.

He first asked Liu Dalang what he was busy with, and then asked Liu Erlang and Liu Silang how they were doing in learning how to do business from the county shopkeeper.

Then, they started talking about other topics.

He knows everything, from all over the world, from the south to the north, from ancient times to the present, from China to abroad.

Liu Dalang was surprised. They all said that Old Man Liu was a peasant who only knew how to get angry and argue with others, but his knowledge and experience were no worse than that of his grandfather, the scholar Old Man Liu. He might even be a little better than Old Man Liu. This beating made the three brothers of the Liu family completely submissive, and the last bit of arrogance they had was gone.

Liu Yingyue thought to herself that this old man Qin would be the pioneer who dared to start an uprising three years later. Uncle Qin was still a little hesitant, so old man Qin took Qin Yiran and started doing it directly.

Uncle Qin had no choice but to follow the grandfather and grandson in the uprising.

Later, when the country was settled, the Qin family moved to the capital, and Old Man Qin also made all the nobles in the capital behave themselves.

The old man has such courage, but can’t he control the arrogant Liu brothers and other village men?
Seeing that the three Liu brothers had become much more obedient, Qin Yiran's smile deepened.

Being in front of the old man was like sitting on a mat of pins and needles. After having some tea and snacks, Liu Dalang and his brothers said it was getting late and they had to take Liu Yingyue back.

"Well, go ahead." Old Master Liu nodded, and told the people around him to prepare gift boxes of wine and beverages.

Two large jars of fine wine, each containing ten jin, and ten large black carps caught from the village pond, each weighing seven or eight jin, still alive, were placed in a large wooden basin filled with water and then loaded onto Liu Dalang's donkey cart along with the basin and fish.

In addition, there are two pieces of smoked meat, each piece of meat weighs about twenty pounds.

Add two baskets of freshly picked pipa.

Madam Qin prepared four pieces of fine brocade cloth.

When the full truck was brought back to Liu's house, the villagers along the way were envious.

As soon as Qin Yiran, Liu Yingyue's carriage and the donkey carts of the three Liu brothers stopped, Liu Lizheng started setting off long-hanging firecrackers.

Madam Liu and Liu Jiangshi, along with Liu Chuyue and Liu Huaiyue, came to the carriage together.

"Yingyue?" Madam Liu called out with joy.

Liu Yingyue was about to lift the curtain, but Qin Yiran had already done it.

Liu Yingyue was slightly startled, then pursed her lips and smiled.

Qin Yiran helped Liu Yingyue get off the carriage. The intimate look between the two made Madam Liu feel more satisfied.

The driver was Hongzhu. After she parked the carriage, she wiped her hands on the hem of her skirt and reached out to help Liu Yingyue.

"Ms. Ying, go slower and be careful with your steps. There are stairs here."

Liu family, "..."

Is this the maid that the Qin family hired for Liu Yingyue?

They had only seen the young mistress of the Gao family and the women of Mr. Huang's family followed by maids when they went out.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yingyue also had a maid.

Madam Liu's vanity was further satisfied. She smiled and waved to the neighbors who were watching the fun, "Come in for some tea?"

"No, no, I have something to do at home." The neighbors laughed.

Who would really follow in for tea?

Today is the day when the Liu family entertains the new son-in-law and daughter.

Liu Yingyue and Qin Yiran, surrounded by the Liu family, walked into the yard.

Liu Dalang and his brothers were busy carrying the gifts they brought back.

A car full of gifts made the neighbors envious again.

After all the people from the Liu family's main branch entered the yard, the neighbors did not leave. They stood in groups of three or four in front of the yard, talking about how well Liu Yingyue had married and how well Liu Lizheng and his wife were at choosing a son-in-law.

The excitement in the Liu family's first branch soon spread to the Liu family's second branch, which was separated by only a pond.

The villagers like to spread rumors, especially between brothers and sisters-in-law, and they always add all kinds of exaggerations.

Madam Liu Er was complaining that the return gift from the Gao family was too shabby, with only two pieces of coarse cloth, two jars of two-jin wine, and two jin of dried meat, and nothing else. When she heard about the return gift from the Qin family, and that Liu Yingyue had a maid following her, she became so jealous that her nose became crooked.
