The Chen family was still some distance away from the mountain, so Cui Yunzhu followed Zheng and Chen Qiqi up the mountain.

There were many children gathered on the roadside playing with sandbags. When they saw someone coming, they looked up at her and were very curious about this beautiful new sister in the village.

Cui Yunzhu smiled and waved at them, and the children hid behind the tree again.

There were also people who greeted Zheng.

"Hey, Chen Kang's mother, is this the new wife that your third son married?"

An old woman who looked to be in her fifties moved a chair and sat at the door to watch over the children. When she saw them coming, she smiled and shouted loudly.

Zheng seemed to have a good relationship with her and said happily, "Yes, it's our third son's new wife, her name is Yunzhu, she's a well-behaved and sensible girl."

As she spoke, she waved to Cui Yunzhu and said, "Come here, Yunzhu, according to seniority, you should call her Grandma Zhao. Say hello to Grandma Zhao."

"Hello, Grandma Zhao. This is your little granddaughter, right? She looks so cute."

Cui Yunzhu shouted obediently.

Who among the elderly doesn't like others to praise their children? Since she is on good terms with Zheng, Cui Yunzhu naturally cannot appear too unfamiliar.

"Hey, this girl is so pretty and sweet-talking. You, the third son, are so lucky. You are enjoying your life now. All three sons have married. The only one missing is Qiqi, who makes you worry."

"Grandma Zhao, I'm not in a hurry yet."

From the moment Chen Qiqi met Grandma Zhao, she was like a gourd with its mouth sawed off, and she didn't utter a word for a long time.

She was really afraid of meeting this man. Every time she met him, he would talk about her getting married, or ask about her housekeeping and cooking skills.

Although it was for her own good, Chen Qiqi was afraid that Zheng would hear too much and just marry her off to someone else.

So every time I wanted to stay away from her, but I always had to pass by her house when I went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. I thought that this time I would have nothing to do with myself if I asked my third sister-in-law to come with me, but this old woman always brought it up.

Ugh.

"No way, I want to stay for another two years."

How could Zheng not see Chen Qiqi's impatience, so she smiled and tried to fool around with Mrs. Zhao.

"Yes, your girl is well taken care of, so it won't be a problem to keep her for another two years."

"Aunt Zhao, we have to go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables. If we go too late, all the vegetables below the mountain will be picked. We'll leave first!"

Zheng said goodbye while holding the basket.

"Hey, Chen Kang's mother, you go first. It's good to move around more in the winter when there's nothing to do. It's better to find wild vegetables early."

The old woman wanted to stand up to see them off, but Zheng quickly asked her to sit down, and the three of them ran away.

.......

"Why are you still frowning? No one is saying anything to you."

Walking on the road and looking at Chen Qiqi who was looking dejected beside him, Cui Yunzhu asked with some confusion.

Could it be that she would look sad every time she saw Old Lady Zhao?

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, you don't know. I just hope that their granddaughter can come into the house to play when I go back later. Otherwise, I have to ask another question."

"Why are you still asking after I've already asked? Are you so anxious about your marriage?"

"She's not worried about my marriage, she just can't stand me staying at home. I told my mother to run away quickly when she passed by, but she wouldn't listen." Chen Qiqi pouted.

"Hey, you are such a troublesome kid!" Zheng patted Chen Qiqi on the back.

"She's old, so what if she asks you a few questions? Besides, you're old enough to get married, and what they say is right. Girls need to learn more so that they can find a husband in the future."

"Hey, mom, you're here again."

Chen Qiqi wanted so much that she wanted to scream to the sky.

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say any more. If you can't even make clothes when you get married, don't come back and cry to me to make clothes for you."

Zheng was too lazy to waste her breath on this stupid kid.

"Humph, I won't look for you. Third sister-in-law's craftsmanship is very good, I'll let her help me."

Chen Qiqi turned to look at Cui Yunzhu, with a pitiful look as if begging her to agree.

"Don't ask me to make clothes for your whole family. I will be exhausted. You should learn it yourself."

Cui Yunzhu waved her hands repeatedly, then raised her legs and ran forward.

She was really afraid that she would just do whatever she wanted in her life and just give up.

Chen Qiqi laughed and chased after her: "Don't run away, Third Sister-in-law. I won't let you make clothes for me."

The two of us were walking in front, you holding my arm and I holding your arm, and I didn't know what jokes we were telling each other along the way, sticking together and walking crookedly.

Zheng watched from behind and shook her head lovingly.

The road under my feet began to become muddy and the road began to narrow. We were almost at the foot of the mountain.

She looked ahead and saw the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were also a few women wearing coarse clothes and carrying bamboo baskets. They were probably preparing to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Although the place where they picked wild vegetables was not deep in the mountains, for safety reasons the women in the village would go together to take care of each other.

One of them looked familiar to her. After thinking about it, she realized that this was the woman she met in the carriage when she first came to Chen's house!

She was accompanied by a little girl at the time, and when Cui Yunzhu saw her eyes, she felt that she was not an easy person to get along with.

As expected, as soon as they approached, they heard the woman start to say to the narrator in a weird tone: "When you marry a wife, you should marry someone who is quiet and virtuous, unlike some people who think their sons have married a treasure and show off everywhere."

"In fact, he married a tigress. Hahahaha. She caused unrest in the family as soon as she entered the house. Did you hear that her eldest sister-in-law cried and took her younger sister back to her parents' home overnight? Why would you want such a troublemaker?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at the three people with a sarcastic look.

How could Zheng bear it? Wasn't this young widow talking about their family affairs openly and secretly?

See if she doesn't tear her mouth apart!

She strode forward with a basket on her shoulder, walking towards Liu.

Speaking of this Liu, she had no surname and no name of her own. She was a child bride bought by the Liu family. When she grew up, she married the only son of the Liu family. So everyone called her Liu after her husband's surname.

After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter for the Liu family and was looked down upon by her parents-in-law. So she looked down upon those who had sons.

Not to mention that her husband had gone out for business two years ago and had never returned. Everyone thought he had died outside, and even she herself said that the man was dead, so everyone called her Widow Liu in private.

Zheng angrily spat at Widow Liu's feet: "Bah, who did I think you were? It turns out to be you. Why don't you do more to make the family more prosperous now that your husband is gone? You are here all day gossiping about other people's families. I felt sorry for you because you were a widow, so I wanted to give you some slack and not make a fuss about you, but you actually got ahead of me and made up stories about my family!"

Widow Liu's hair was grabbed by Zheng, and every time she moved, it pulled her scalp so hard that she dared not move, and she kept shouting, "I won't let anyone say it anyway!"
