The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

With these thoughts, Lady Chen became quite impatient, eager to go to Capital Jingcheng. She found an excuse to go send vegetables to the second branch, going to the county town.

As soon as Lady Zhu heard this, she immediately knew that Lady Chen was secretly planning to run off to Jingcheng and stopped her straight away, "...Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting in your heart! If you dare to sneak off to Jingcheng, I’ll break your legs!"

"Mother! I have no such intention; you’ve misunderstood!" Lady Chen replied, frustration apparent. Damn that noisy old hag, still living and not dead yet!

Lady Zhu huffed angrily, "Don’t take me for a fool! Everyone from your branch has already left, leaving us old couple here by ourselves. If you dare leave again, I’ll accuse you of being unfilial!"

Lady Chen cursed her mother-in-law inwardly, yet on the surface, she forced a smile, "Mother, what are you saying! I just see that you’re a bit hoarse, and it’s cold outside. Our home doesn’t have a carriage, and I’m afraid you might catch a chill and fall ill, which would be unbearable!"

"Don’t try to fool me! If you’re really going to deliver vegetables, I’m coming with you! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the second son and had a talk with my three grandsons!" Lady Zhu and Lady Chen both used to tread on Madam Fang, grinding each other into a habit of mutual disgust.

With Kong’s, the one they could tread on, gone, Lady Zhu and Lady Chen became each other’s targets, increasingly unable to coexist peacefully.

To prove that she had no intention of sneaking off to Jingcheng, Lady Chen had no choice but to go with her.
