The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

It was already pretty clear that Yang Chuxia was turning them down.

Both Ms. Liu Junior’s mother and Ms. Liu Junior herself knew that this matter wasn’t going to work out.

But Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law was still not quite willing to give up.

She still wanted to say something.

But before she could speak, she heard Yang Chuxia continue, "Another thing is that Lele should call Qingkang, ’Uncle Qingkang,’ but Mrs. Liu’s daughter is actually Qingkang’s elder sister. Strictly speaking, Lele should refer to her as ’Little Aunt.’ This really messes up the family hierarchy, doesn’t it?"

At these words, the wife of the Land Officer was also stunned. Hey, how had she forgotten about this? Wasn’t it just as said? The family ranks were indeed in disorder.

Hearing this, Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law realized the matter was definitely not going to happen, and her face became somewhat stiff. The words she wanted to say were prevented by her mother-in-law, who pulled her back and kept her from speaking.

Afterward, the Land Officer’s wife and Ms. Liu Junior made some conversation there before taking their leave, and Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law hadn’t said another word since Yang Chuxia’s refusal, not even a word of courtesy when they were leaving.

Once they were out of the Ye Family’s home, Ms. Liu Junior’s mother felt this situation was very embarrassing, so she didn’t head to the Land Officer’s wife’s home but instead hastily led her daughter-in-law back to their own house.

However, halfway there, she vented her anger on her daughter-in-law quite fiercely.

Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law was seething with anger after hearing this but didn’t dare talk back to her mother-in-law.

Upon returning home, Ms. Liu Junior’s elder brother saw that his mother and wife had come back from outside. Remembering his wife’s words from the previous evening, coupled with the fact that they hadn’t eaten lunch at home, he widened his eyes and said, "You didn’t really go talk to Second Sister about this, did you?"

Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law just nodded her head.

"How did it go?" He asked, and then without waiting for Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law to respond, he added, "Forget it, looking at you, I guess it didn’t work out. I told you, the Ye Family would never agree. Can’t you see the difference between our families’ statuses? You just had to go and hit that soft nail, how comfortable that must have been."

His wife stubbornly retorted, "Madam Ye even said that they don’t care about status or position, and that they will wait for their child to grow up and choose his own bride."

"Pfft, they say you’re foolish, and they’re right. That was their way of declining, don’t you understand? I’d say you really pushed them hard for them to even come up with the excuse of the child picking his own bride."

"Enough, let’s stop talking about it, it’s too humiliating. My face is completely lost today," Mrs. Liu scolded as she slammed the table, "From now on, don’t ever bring up this matter again."

After finishing her words, she went inside the house. Passing by her son’s room, she saw her granddaughter in her grandson’s arms, her cheeks as red as eggs dyed with red yeast, and felt increasingly frustrated. Why do other people’s children look so good, and her own family’s children look like this?

Meanwhile, at the Yang Family’s side, after Ms. Liu and others had left, Yang Chuxia spent time alternatively holding Lele and Yangyang in her arms.

"Lele, you’re really something, attracting attention at such a young age," Yang Chuxia sighed, "I’m really worried about finding a bride for you in the future; how many romantic offers will I have to fend off for you?"

"It’s good to have many admirers; at least it means finding a bride will be easy," Li’s mother chimed in.

But thinking back on all the people from Ms. Liu Junior’s family, she scoffed inwardly at their lack of self-awareness, not considering their own family’s status and yet aspiring to match with their young master.

Alright, from Li’s mother’s perspective, it was just that her own child was perfect in every way, and ordinary people simply weren’t good enough.

The next day

Ms. Wang brought over some fried meatballs, and while they chatted idly, they also touched upon the Land Officer’s wife’s marriage proposal. They also felt that the matter wasn’t so great. Of course, Ms. Wang’s perspective wasn’t about background or anything like that; it was more that she didn’t think highly of Ms. Liu Junior’s sister-in-law.
