Chapter 138: Injustice
Left standing by themselves, Lady Jiang, along with her three little beans and Wang Yongzhu, looked at each other in confusion for quite a while.
Jinhua, Jinpan, and Jinshao quietly expressed their astonishment as they rushed to the stone bench, "Wow, Auntie, you’re really strong!"
"Auntie, can you teach me how to knock over a stone bench?"
Seeing Wang Yongping standing dumbly on the side, Jinhua deliberately asked, "Uncle Four, can you knock over a stone bench?"
Becoming an unintended target, Wang Yongping silently went off to find a shovel, deciding to pretend he’d heard nothing and focusing on planting the trees properly.
Having come to her senses, Lady Jiang heard her children, still unrestrainedly praising their young aunt for her incredible strength, and was so agitated she almost lunged over to cover their mouths.
Good gracious, could such things be said carelessly? Nowadays, the requirement for a maiden was to be chaste and skilled in domestic duties, proficient in needlework. Only peasant families wanted a daughter-in-law with great strength, someone who could work in the fields alongside men.
But not the kind of strength that could flip over a stone bench with a single kick, right?
Given the mother-in-law’s temperament, would she ever allow her pampered young daughter-in-law to marry off and do fieldwork?
The very thought was unthinkable! This young auntie had hidden her enormous strength for so many years. Surely, the mother-in-law must have been suppressing it, not letting her show off. Haven’t you seen that after the auntie’s reveal, the first thing she did was threaten them not to tell the mother-in-law?
Yet her own obtuse kids were still lavishly praising her, unaware of the change in their grandfather’s expression. Could it be that they had even kept the secret from their grandfather?
