Jiang Muxia smiled, "Sister-in-law He Xin is right. I was born stupid, so I can't compare with you. You are born smart and clever. Look at your three daughters, each one is as beautiful as a fairy. They are very clever and can speak to people in a human way. I wish you to give birth to another beautiful girl like the previous three."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Chunfeng's face darkened.

The eldest girl in their family has a palm-sized red birthmark on her left cheek, which is not pretty at all.

The child usually avoids people and often becomes the couple's punching bag at home.

Zhao Chunfeng's first three pregnancies were all daughters. After much difficulty she got pregnant with this one, and both she and her husband were hoping to have a boy.

It's really unlucky that Jiang Muxia blessed me with another daughter today.

Zhao Chunfeng was so shocked by her words that he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Jiang Muxia smiled again, "I think the girl is a good person, smart and pretty. You and Brother Hexin love her so much. To be honest, I envy her very much. Sister-in-law, you don't know, I sometimes tell my mother how great it would be if I were your child."

She spoke so sincerely and to the point that Zhao Chunfeng believed her to a certain extent.

"When did you..." Lu Chaoyun was about to say that you had never mentioned their child, but was interrupted by Jiang Muxia.

"And sister-in-law Henan, I heard that you are very good at raising children. Why don't you give brother Henan a boy or a girl? What a pity. You see sister-in-law Henan is younger than you and your sister-in-law. She is about to give birth to her fourth child. I see that Aunt De likes children very much. She can't even walk when she sees the children in the village. Why don't you want one? Do you not want to have one or do you not like children?"

When she heard her talk about children, the red-faced woman's face darkened. Everyone in the village knew that she had been married for eight years and had not even seen the shadow of a child. Her mother-in-law often gave her the cold shoulder, openly and secretly scolding her for being a chicken that doesn't lay eggs.

A few words left her speechless, and her originally red skin turned even redder.

The more you don't want to listen, the more I will hit you where it hurts the most.

Let you talk dirty.

"Hongping, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Chaoyun was embarrassed by what she said and scolded her.

"Mom, my name is Mu Xia, Jiang Mu Xia." She would argue with Lu Chaoyun after everyone left because of her behavior today.

Aunt Chun quickly spoke up to smooth things over, "It's all my fault. I was the first to say that the child was stupid. You two are no different. Her mother is here. It's none of your business to point fingers at her."

"It's because Aunt Yuzhou says she's stupid on the street every day, so I just agreed with her. Who knew she would be so angry and expose my shortcomings?" Fang Guizhi pointed her finger at Lu Chaoyun with a dark face.

"That's my mother, you can say whatever you want. No matter how dumb I am, I have never eaten a grain of rice from your family. What do you have to do with me?" Jiang Muxia thought to herself, this man must be a fool.

"I've said it, what else do you want? It's none of your business whether I have a baby or not. I'm a man and I don't care. Don't be so arrogant. The Li family workshop is about to be ruined. No one in the village will rely on you in the future. My family will open a new workshop soon, and you will have to ask me for help." Fang Guizhi remembered the guarantee given to her by her eldest brother from her mother's family. Suddenly, she felt confident and her attitude was extremely arrogant.

Zhao Chunfeng at the side pulled her sleeve, "Sister-in-law, stop talking." He then smiled apologetically at Jiang Muxia, "Hong... Muxia, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have called you stupid. My sister-in-law was furious, don't bother with her. We're leaving now."

Fang Guizhi caught a glimpse of her bulging belly and became angry. She had given birth to so many children, but they were all girls.

She shook off Zhao Chunfeng's hand and angrily scolded, "What do you care?"

"Don't go. Tell me clearly, what happened in the Li family workshop?" Lu Chaoyun stopped Fang Guizhi and asked her what happened.

"There's a problem with the quality of the goods produced by their workshop. They're going to go bankrupt soon, and you'll lose your backing." Fang Guizhi pushed her aside and left with a smile.

When the people in the room saw this, they all said goodbye.

"Why did you all leave as soon as I came? Sister Chun, you can't leave, stay with me." Another woman outside the yard walked towards the south room of the west wing.

The curtain was lifted again, and the two women behind Lu Chaoyun came in smiling.

"Hongping, after a disaster, there will be good fortune. You have been a well-behaved child since you were young. You never smile or talk when you see people. Auntie hopes that you will have great fortune in the future, so that you can benefit from it."

"Auntie will always laugh at me." She had tears in her eyes. Auntie Jun loved her the most in her previous life. After she married into the Lan family, she often asked people to send her food and clothes.

When she got into trouble, she rushed to the front and fought for justice for her, but unfortunately...

Aunt Chun smiled unnaturally, "Mother Hongping, I was just joking with the children just now. I didn't expect the two of them to say such harsh things after what I said. Hongping, don't blame me. I always say things without meaning them."

Jiang Muxia smiled brightly and invited her to sit beside the bed. "Auntie Chun, what are you talking about? I know your temper. The two of them are not worth mentioning."

"What's going on?" The military lady who came later asked them puzzledly and sat down beside the bed.

Jiang Muxia briefly recounted what had just happened, and complained to them in dissatisfaction, "You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Their own home is a mess, and they still have the nerve to call me stupid."

Jiang Muxia wanted to remind her mother that she was the one who said she was stupid in the first place. Now that there were outsiders around, she didn't want to lose face for her mother, so she suppressed the words in her heart. If Lu Chaoyun didn't change the way he raised her two sisters, the three of them would be alienated sooner or later.

She had to find a suitable opportunity to tell Yu Luchaoyun these words.

Aunt Jun curled her lips in disdain and snorted, "Why bother with them? They always flatter the powerful and look down on the weak." Then she changed the subject and asked Lu Chaoyun, "What happened to your second sister-in-law? She was fine, why did she get pregnant?"

Speaking of Fang Lanxiang, Lu Chaoyun couldn't control his temper and told her how Jiang Hongxing pushed Mu Xia off the hill, how she refused to admit it, and how Fang Lanxiang protected her food.

"Oh, there is such a thing. I'm really damned. I just made fun of the child for being stupid. I shouldn't have done that." Aunt Chun pretended to hit herself.

Jiang Muxia quickly grabbed her hand and put it on her face, narrowing her eyes and pinching her throat, "Auntie Chun, if you want to hit me, just hit me. Blame me for being blind. How could I fall for the bad guys' trick?"

Looking at the strange expression she made, the four of them burst into laughter.

"She looked so weak and fragile, but I didn't expect that she would raise such a vicious daughter. I have to keep my other children away from her." Aunt Jun lamented. She was still thinking of arranging a marriage for her, but now she has to give up the idea. She must not bring harm to such a good child.

Aunt Chun rolled her eyes at her and said, "Do you think that girl grew up like this for no reason? I don't believe it. The same mother raises the same child. Fang is not as weak as she looks on the surface. Let's be careful when dealing with her in the future."

It has to be said that Aunt Chun’s words touched Jiang Muxia’s heart.

Fang Lanxiang is really not an ordinary person. I remember that in her previous life, she went to the market with a woman from the same village. She only said a few words, and the woman paid for her shopping. She even showed it off to Lu Chaoyun when she got home to prove how popular she was.

The two ladies knew that she was pushed down the hill by Jiang Hongxing, and everyone in the village would know it by today. It wasn't that the two of them were gossiping, but whenever there was something rare in the village, they would share it.

This was Jiang Muxia's idea. She wanted to ruin the reputation of the mother and daughter so that she could punish them in the future.

The three of them talked about weaving. Jiang Muxia couldn't get a word in, so she lay down and listened to them quietly.

Near noon, a voice came from outside the yard, "Aunt, are you home?"

"There's a visitor to your house. From the sound of his voice, it's your eldest nephew." Li Jiufu often came to the Jiang family, and everyone in the village knew him. Aunt Chun and Aunt Jun both stood up and said goodbye.

Li Jiufu walked into the house carrying some fruits and snacks in his hand. "Aunt, I'm here to give you a Double Ninth Festival gift. I'll put the things down and leave as I have something else to do at home." His face was filled with worry.

Something happened at home? How did Fang Guizhi know that something happened in the Li family workshop?

Jiang Muxia thought of her past life, when her aunt's workshop was maliciously framed and the loom was smashed, and it never got back up until she left. Because of this, her aunt fell seriously ill and almost lost her life.

Later, the Li family had to move away from Suanzao County and seek a living elsewhere.

This should have happened around the Double Ninth Festival in the tenth year of Yuanhe.

When Lu Chaoyun heard him say that something happened at home, she asked him worriedly, "What's wrong? Tell me quickly, don't make me anxious."

"Aunt, don't worry, I will take care of it." After saying that, he raised his foot and was about to walk out.

Jiang Muxia called him, "Brother Jifu, don't leave yet. Why don't you tell us what happened and we can give you some advice."

She already had a plan to deal with it, but it was inconvenient to say it directly. In her previous life, her aunt's house was smashed and she reported the case. The person in charge of the case was Tang Zhongbai. It was at this time when the two met for the first time that Tang Zhongbai fell in love with her at first sight.

But later the case was hastily settled and nothing was done. Tang Zhongbai hesitated to speak, not knowing what went wrong.

What is coming will come. It is better to face it instead of avoiding it.

Let go of your resentment and hatred towards him from your past life for the moment.

In this life, she only cares about profit and not love. She will no longer trust him easily and will not give him any illusions.

He will not let the people around him hurt himself and his family.

Maybe we can use him to help my aunt's family escape this disaster.
