【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law

Chapter 248 Grandmother Jia 50

Every gathering with Wang's presence usually ended in a bad mood. After leaving Rongqing Hall, Fengchun pulled his sister to block Shaochun.

"Sister Shaochun, do you know what to write?"

Jia Shaochun pretended not to know. "What did Sister Fengchun say? It's getting dark now. Do you want to go to my Fangrunzhai and sit there? The cicadas are starting to chirp outside. It's really annoying."

Jia Fengchun was anxious, so Jia Yuanchun stopped her sister and glanced at Nanny Gu. "Okay, then my two sisters are sorry for disturbing you."

After the three of them walked into the backyard, they first sent Nanny Gu back to Lixiangyuan, and then went to Fangrunzhai together.

"Sister Shaochun, please tell me quickly. I only knew that mother harmed my aunt and Brother Hu, but I didn't expect that she also had conflicts with my aunt." Jia Yuanchun said sadly.

Jia Fengchun secretly observed Shaochun's house. He had been there so many times before, but he didn't expect Shaochun's house to be so plain. It was also true that Shaochun's in-laws didn't have much ability and relied solely on monthly wages, so how could they decorate the house?

Jia Shaochun smiled and said, "Sister Yuanchun, I heard that you've taken great care of the royal pink plum trees in your yard. One plant has grown into two. If you could give me one, I'd be happy to tell you the truth."

Jia Fengchun's eyes widened. "You have quite a large appetite! A single Royal Pink Plum tree could fetch up to a thousand taels of silver."

"Sister Yuanchun is preparing for her marriage, and so am I. If I could bring a royal pink plum blossom as a dowry, I'm sure my husband's family would look upon me with admiration." Jia Shaochun said with a smile, "Especially since I'm a concubine's daughter, I can't have the support of a mother like my two sisters."

Jia Yuanchun propped her chin up, fiddling with the tea foam with the lid of her teacup. After a moment's thought, she agreed and looked at Fengchun to explain, "Second sister, I've found a way to cultivate the Royal Pink Plum. I'll try it when I get back. I'll try to grow as many as I can. You and I can each give one as a dowry, and the rest can be left at home for our family to enjoy. Giving one to Sister Shaochun wouldn't hurt either. We're all family after all."

"Okay, Sister Shaochun, you have to tell me everything you know about my mother." Jia Fengchun bargained.

Jia Shaochun nodded. "No problem. The conflict between Second Aunt and Auntie stems from when Auntie gave birth to Cousin Yu. Coincidentally, all four midwives had diarrhea at the same time. Second Auntie recommended Zhou Ruijia to deliver the baby. Oh, right. Zhou Ruijia is the woman who harmed my mother and Brother Hu. She's so cruel."

Jia Fengchun opened his mouth wide, his face flushed and burning, "Why on earth is Mother doing this?"

The first three children of the second wife lived with their mother until they were three years old at most. The rest of the time they were raised by their grandmother. After they were seven years old, they went to live alone in the backyard. They were not with Wang for too long, so naturally they had no idea that their mother was such a person.

"I don't know why. I only know that my aunt and Second Aunt have never gotten along. As for harming my mother and Big Brother Hu, plus the fact that Second Aunt wanted to marry her niece to Second Brother Lian two years ago, her purpose is obvious: she wants to control the first wife's family." Jia Shaochun took a sip of tea and continued, "I also heard from the elders in the mansion that before my aunt got married, Second Aunt always wanted to arrange a few dowries for her, but was always blocked by Grandmother."

Jia Yuanchun's eyes turned red. "Anything else?"

"There are many things. Every time my mother is sick, my second aunt wants to take over the management of the first wife's house. Also, the second wife's house rarely sends my aunt any holiday gifts, etc."

Jia Shaochun's tone was very objective, and he did not show any resentment or other emotions. Although he hated his second aunt, he grew up with his two sisters and had some affection for them.

Wutong Courtyard was also discussing this matter, and Tian Tian was not surprised. "There are many conflicts in large families."

Mai Xiang hurriedly said, "Miss, you must be careful of the second wife in the future."

"Of course! Second Uncle is just a fifth-rank official sitting on the bench, there's really no need to befriend him. As for Yuanchun and Fengchun's future husbands, they have nothing to do with us." Tian Tian said lazily, "We are on the same side as the people in the first house. Oh, right, my parents-in-law should at least wait until the twins born by my aunt are one month old before returning? I envy them for being able to travel outside the capital. I wish my husband could be sent out to other places. He would have more freedom then."

"Miss, you're overthinking it. I heard that the old lady was afraid that something might happen to Miss Min because she wanted to deal with the Zhen family, so she asked the master to bring a lot of people to the south of the Yangtze River to help." Daoxiang retorted.

Tian Tian was shocked. "Daoxiang, how did you know? I didn't even know."

"I heard from the grapevine that the old lady has said that anyone who protects the young lady will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver. If she is injured, she will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver. If she unfortunately dies, her family can get 200 taels of silver." Daoxiang, the diligent girl, explained while doing needlework.

"I see. Then I'm not envious."

?

"Aunt-in-law, sister, daughter-in-law, and nephew, take the children and hide well. Leave the outside to us."

Jia She calmly closed the door and rushed out with his sword in hand, "Brother-in-law, be careful!"

Jia Min looked at the bloody fight outside through the window, feeling uneasy.

Aunt Mei stood solemnly by the bed and said, "Miss, it must have been Chenxiang who let the person in."

Jia Min's face was cold. "I understand. Aunt Mei, you take good care of mother. Kong Qing, Du Ruo, you take good care of the young lady..."

Lin Yu hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry about me. I can beat them." After a pause, he said, "Coltsfoot, Gardenia, Shatang, and Huaying, you take care of mother and my two brothers."

"Yes!"

The four of them stood by the bed with their fists clasped.

Xiang Er was killing people outside and soon discovered that these people were not simple and had good martial arts skills. Their movements became more and more fierce.

Jia Min looked outside nervously, ready to take everyone into the space at any time. The only problem was that there were too many people and the space might not be able to accommodate them. Alas!

Xiang Er glanced sideways at the strongest of the black-clad men. He must be the leader. These people seemed very familiar with him. They didn't seek to defeat him, but to hold him back. This was a good idea. It seemed they had studied him. It would only work if he didn't use his true strength.

Seeing that his side was at a disadvantage, Xiang Er took out a pure blue sword while no one was paying attention. Wherever the sword passed, the sword light was emitted, leaving behind a pile of broken walls and limbs.

Jia She's eyes suddenly widened. "Then, then, then, is that a sword beam? Shouldn't it only exist in picture books?"

Xiang Er didn't care about so many things. His moves became more and more fierce, and he moved forward as fast as the wind, pushing forward like a killing machine.

Jia Min's pupils shrank and she couldn't help but cover her mouth. It was so bloody.

"Someone!" Aunt Mei pricked up her ears and rushed to the back window. "Someone is surrounding us."

Jia Min was horrified. Cui clutched her chest and asked, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Kong Qing's face was solemn, "There are so many people! We may not be able to resist!"

Jia Min looked at her tall and handsome eldest son, her delicate and pretty second daughter, and the two little kids who were only a few days old, and she made up her mind.

"Come here, I know a secret passage!"
