Chapter 694, Soaring to Great Heights (4)_1
The only thing that felt gratifying was Pei Qian’s marriage affairs. Her eldest son’s letter stated dramatically that Young Master Yang already had a wife, who was a daughter of a respectable family. How could he fancy such a shrewish, venomous bastard of a wench!
After returning home with her daughter, Lady Kong saw the look on her face and the way her eyes glanced at her. She knew her daughter was filled with hate and anger again, and that included resentment toward herself. Lady Kong pursed her lips and tried to divert her daughter’s attention by changing the subject, "Pei Qian’s breeding farm near the front of Taiping Mountain is almost ready. With such a big breeding farm, the villagers will probably flock there again."
Lady Chen snorted with spiteful anger, "She dares to set up a breeding farm right under our noses, let’s see how capable she is of making it successful!"
"I heard she plans to raise bamboo rats and wild rabbits! The Pei Lizheng family even inquired about it," Lady Kong subtly shifted her daughter’s anger.
Grinding her teeth with a grim expression, Lady Chen’s anger burst toward her again, "All you do is gallivant outside every day! Is that what you’re watching!? Leaving all the chores to me, your mother-in-law. If you’d really bore a son, I wouldn’t mind attending to you. But standing idle as if you’re doing nothing, and still expecting me, your mother-in-law, to wait on you!?"
Lady Kong’s face reddened with shame and anger, her hands clutching her daughter’s tightly as she silently cursed and endured. Four-year-old Pei Qingya, terrified, huddled close to Lady Kong.
"Not going to cook and feed the pigs! You’re waiting for me to serve you, right!?" Seeing that Lady Kong remained silent, Lady Chen scolded her once more. This daughter-in-law was only good for one thing: she didn’t fight back when hit, nor talked back when scolded.
Obediently, Lady Kong pulled her daughter to the backyard to prepare the vegetables.
