MTL - I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times-Chapter 139 Preaching
Chapter 139 Preaching
Li was stunned and scratched the ground twice with firewood. The momentum just now put out the fire in an instant.
‘Oh no, she was talking too much. Brother Yan had already reminded her that she was not allowed to tell her these gossips, lest she get upset. ’
Even Mrs. Du looked at Mrs. Li eagerly. Since Yaya's father left, she has been staying at home to take care of the housework and never going out unless she has nothing to do.
Unlike the second younger brother and sister, in addition to working, they also wander around.
Being stared at by the two people, Ms. Li scratched her head in embarrassment, "I heard something about it, but Brother Yan didn't let me talk about it, saying I couldn't make my mother upset because of this."
Bai Yunxi looked at her and curled the corners of his mouth.
"You don't have to hide it, even if you don't say it to your mother, you know that we used to be one of the best families in the village, with a brick house and a family full of scholars. While the people in the village were envious, they were also jealous, but the situation did not allow them to be presumptuous, even in their hearts No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to greet us with a smile when you meet me."
“They don’t dare to offend us. Firstly, their children are still studying in our private school. Secondly, they are afraid that there are scholars in our family who may become officials one day. Naturally, no one is willing to take the risk of slandering us.”
"But things are different now. Your father is dead, your old house is in debt, and your fields are depleted. You have fallen straight into the quagmire from a high place. There is a saying that when a wall falls, everyone will push it, and when a drum is broken, thousands of people beat it. "
"How could they let it go when they finally get the opportunity? How frustrated they were before, they are now so unbridled. This is human nature, there is nothing surprising about it."
Bai Yunxi said, looking at the sad expressions of his two daughters-in-law, he took a piece of firewood and stuffed it into the stove, and clapped his hands.
“But one thing is, we don’t owe the villagers anything. On the contrary, they owe us a lot. If they want to take advantage of it, it depends on whether we agree or not.”
Speaking of this, Bai Yunxi's eyes flashed with a coldness. The village roads, the bridges leading to the official roads, the fields, the repairs that were owed... all the philanthropic activities that benefit the village, the old people are involved.
Don't ask them to be grateful, but if you want to add insult to injury, don't blame her for not being merciful.
“That’s why Mom operated on Mrs. Sun and Bai Lezi last time. We have nothing now, but we won’t let them get their way and step on our heads.”
Hearing her mother-in-law’s calm tone, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Du looked at each other.
‘It turns out that my mother already knew that someone was saying bad things about them behind their backs. ’
‘My mother is still very powerful, she calmed people down in advance. ’
“Mom, when I went out yesterday, I heard Wang’s wife talking behind her back, saying that my mother was cruel and would not let her family members go. I was so angry that I had a fight with her.”
Ms. Li said angrily, "Next time you let me see her, I will definitely beat her to the ground."
Looking at Mrs. Li's cute and innocent look, Bai Yunxi rolled her eyes. Her second daughter-in-law was only seventeen years old. At her time, she was still a high school student.
"Okay, next time Mom will fight with you. That guy from the Wang family is really not a good guy and needs a beating."
"Mother is right. If Aunt Yang hadn't stopped her yesterday, I would have beaten her right then and there."
Li raised her fist. She was so strong that she could knock someone down with one punch.
“Pfft~, the second brother and sister are so mighty.”
Mrs. Du felt envious as she watched her mother-in-law interact with Mr. Li, but she thought she couldn't do it if she was to be as heartless as her second younger siblings and never feel hungry even when they are full.
