They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 279 Who likes to meddle in other people's business?
Xu Zhichun raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

From an outsider's perspective, this family is pitiful and deserves sympathy. But there are many pitiful people in the world, and no matter how much a family sympathizes with them, they would never allow their daughter to marry into that family.

Isn't this exactly the kind of poverty alleviation that's been implemented in the past, without any time limit?

Xu Zhichun was a little dumbfounded: "So, Madam Han has taken a fancy to Liang Cuier?"

Granny Qin Qing said, "Yes, that's right. I overheard a bit before, otherwise how would I know what's going on with the Han family? Han Fengshi is very cunning. She doesn't say it openly, but secretly befriends Liang Cuier, making her so arrogant. Lately, Liang Cuier has been going to the Han family in Quanshan Village all the time. She's not only very close to Han Fengshi, but I heard she's also on very good terms with the whole Han family. The Han family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law praise her to the skies, which makes her very happy. A couple of days ago, someone saw her carrying a heavy basket of something to the Han family. She even hid when she saw people on the way. Really, she's overthinking things. Who cares about her business? Even if she emptied her house and gave it to the Han family, who would care?"

Xu Zhichun: "."

What does it mean to be sold out and still help the seller count the money? This is it.

Putting aside whether the family is poor or not, both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are widows, and there's an unmarried adult man in the house. What good girl would go to a family like that for no reason? Unless she intentionally wants to marry into that family.

"My uncle and aunt knew absolutely nothing about it?"

If the couple knew, they would have already given Liang Cuier a good beating and scolding, instead of the peaceful scene we have now.

Granny Qin Qing shook her head: "Liang Cuier won't tell them, and Han Fengshi herself never comes to our village, so they have no idea. Although there are some rumors circulating in our village, they are all just guesses and can't be taken seriously. To be honest, this matter hasn't been clarified. The fact is that Liang Cuier was just visiting someone. Is she not allowed to go? If anyone were to tell Zhang Shi, whether Zhang Shi believes it or not, she would definitely scold them for talking nonsense and slandering her daughter, and might even make someone apologize. Who would want to risk that?"

Xu Zhichun nodded, "Everyone in our village knows my aunt very well. That's why they say a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative."

Granny Qin chuckled, "Madam is right."

Xu Zhichun: "You should also pretend you don't know anything and stay far away. If anyone is talking about this, don't say a word."

"Don't worry, Madam, this old servant understands."

"Ah."

To avoid being scammed in the future.

Suddenly remembering the Spring Equinox, Xu Zhichun said, "Grandma often wanders around the village. See if she can help me find out what kind of situation the husband and in-laws that Chunfen's family told her about."

Although she knew that she could still take care of Chunfen after she got married, Xu Zhichun still wanted to know. She was always a little worried that Chunfen would be taken advantage of.

The naive girl is simple-minded and easily bullied.

Granny Qin Qing nodded: "This old servant will inquire carefully."

"Don't make it too conspicuous, otherwise it won't be good if her family finds out."

"Don't worry, madam."

Zeng Mingzhu's sudden visit surprised Xu Zhichun, and he became wary.

Zeng Xiaojuan looked even more uneasy and gave Xu Zhichun a wry smile.

Her elder sister suddenly went to her house, which startled her so much that she instinctively protected Qiao'er.

Unexpectedly, her elder sister seemed to have changed her personality. Although she still looked down on her and acted superior, she didn't start mocking or insulting her, nor did she scold or reprimand her or do anything bad to her and Qiao'er.

She asked me to take her to find Xu Zhichun.

Zeng Xiaojuan hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and asked what she wanted to see Xu Zhichun for.
Zeng Mingzhu found it amusing and glanced at her disdainfully, saying sarcastically, "You've got some nerve, daring to ask me. Do you expect me to tell you what I'm going to do?" Zeng Xiaojuan lowered her eyes, "I wouldn't dare interfere in Miss's affairs, but I also know that Zhichun has no connection with the Zeng family. If I didn't know Miss's purpose, I wouldn't dare go."

I don't want to go at all.

Cuixiang couldn't help but scold, "Second Miss, don't forget you're also a member of the Zeng family. How can you disobey what the Eldest Miss tells you to do?"

I really don't like this Cuixiang from Liangjia Village at all.

The master and servant rode into the village in a mule cart, but the villagers only glanced at them from afar and didn't pay any attention. Not a single person came up to watch or express their envy.

It was so much so that she had to get out of the car and ask around to find out where the second young lady lived.

What's going on with the people in this village? It looks like they're building houses everywhere.

Cuixiang was unhappy because her vanity was not satisfied.

Little did she know that both Liang Lizheng's family and Zhichun's family had bought mules and mule carts a couple of days ago. Xu Zhichun's family had sent them to Loujia Village, while Liang Lizheng's family's mules were in their backyard, so no one was surprised to see them anymore.

It's just a mule cart!

They've all seen the county magistrate's carriage before.

Zeng Xiaojuan remained silent, resisting in silence.

Zeng Mingzhu was seething with hatred and wanted to beat her up, but she knew she couldn't.

Zeng Mingzhu smiled gently: "Madam Xu is so powerful now, who doesn't know her name and abilities? Are you worried that I'll cause her trouble? I have serious business with her. You can either come with me, or I'll have Cuixiang find out and go by herself."

Zeng Xiaojuan said helplessly, "I'll go with you."

Zeng Mingzhu snorted and said with disgust, "Don't tell Zeng Xiaoyan, I don't want to see her."

Didn't she sever ties with her family? Then there's no need to see her.

Zeng Xiaojuan did not speak.

Little did she know what Zeng Mingzhu wanted to do in the village. She had just secretly asked the neighbor's little girl to tell Xiao Yan while she was washing her hands.
Zeng Xiaojuan smiled when she saw Xu Zhichun, "Zhichun, Miss Zeng said she needs to talk to you."

Xu Zhichun nodded and smiled, "Young Madam Qi is a rare guest, please come in. Aunt Xiaojuan, please come in as well."

Upon hearing this address, Zeng Mingzhu couldn't help but glance at Zeng Xiaojuan. Aunt? Ha!

"Madam Xu is now a celebrity whose name is known throughout the three counties. Everyone who mentions her speaks of her with admiration. I'm afraid that more and more people will come to visit her in the future. It's good for Madam Xu to get used to it sooner rather than later."

Zeng Xiaoyan rushed over in a flurry, and Liang Mingliang, who was worried about her, also hurriedly followed.

Upon arriving, Zeng Xiaoyan was immediately met with Zeng Mingzhu's sarcastic remarks; it's no wonder she couldn't tolerate it.

"Whether others visit or not is unknown, it's really strange. Didn't we just meet a few days ago? Why did Young Master Qi follow you here? Did Young Master Qi come here specifically to visit my sister-in-law Zhichun?"

Zeng Mingzhu glanced coldly at Zeng Xiaojuan out of the corner of her eye, her anger rising: This little bitch thinks she's all grown up and can fly up to a higher branch and I can't control her anymore? She actually dares to disobey my words.
