Glancing at the Jiang Clan, she snorted coldly, "It’s possible, but Mann can’t compare to Zhi'er; she definitely isn’t as good as her older sister."
"It’s fine, it’s fine, Sister-in-law, you’ve worked hard," the Jiang Clan even fantasized about being adorned in gold and silver in the future.
Their attitude towards Wang was one of utmost respect, almost eager to fawn over her.
Wang didn’t even look at the Jiang Clan and turned to leave, saying, "Just wait!"
The Jiang Clan glared fiercely at her back and turned back into the house, muttering, "What kind of person is she? How is my Mann not as good as your Zhi'er? Just look at Liu Qingzhi; my Mann is definitely better."
In any case, the Jiang Clan was a thousand times unconvinced by Liu Qingzhi; she thought Liu Qingman looked much better than Liu Qingzhi and believed that the family she would marry into would surely be wealthier.
However, as a mother, they never thought about their daughter's happiness; all they cared about was money.
The two women shared a similar mindset, scheming on how to take shortcuts without putting in any effort. The entire family relied on the two old folks to tend to their two acres of land.
What caused this situation? It wasn’t just the younger generation like Wang and the Jiang Clan; it was also due to the indulgence from Yan and the Qin Family. Their repeated indulgence led to this outcome.
Thus, the two elders were trampled underfoot by Wang, unable to assert themselves.
In this situation, if the Qin Family used filial piety to pressure others, she could have easily sought Zhang Wuliang for support regarding past grievances. However, she didn’t do that; it would be strange if Wang wasn’t arrogant.
Liu Qingxi was unaware that today, due to Wang's return, the Liu Family had entered an unusually fierce conflict.
Preparations were made, but no battle ensued; the Qin Family took the initiative to retreat.
At that moment, Liu Eldest returned, reeking of perfume and slightly intoxicated. He pushed open the door, and Wang sat at the entrance, startling him awake.
"Why are you back?"
Wang snorted coldly, "Why can't I come back? Where have you been?" Her intuition told her that Liu Eldest had been up to something lately; otherwise, he wouldn't be so indifferent towards her for no reason.
Liu Eldest impatiently pushed her aside. "What could it be? Move aside, you're blocking my sleep."
"What do you mean sleep? Where have you been?"
However, the only response was Liu Eldest's snoring. Frustrated, the joy she felt from regaining control of the household quickly faded.
She tugged at Liu Eldest a few times, but he slept like a dead pig. Angrily, Wang stormed out.
Compared to her earlier frustration, wherever she went now, people turned to look at her with 100% curiosity.
"Isn't that Wang? Where did she strike it rich? Look at all that gold on her head." A woman admired Wang's retreating figure.
"Indeed! But I heard she went to town a few days ago. Liu Qingzhi is pregnant and being spoiled by her in-laws. Oh, that's a wealthy family, Wanjia; they must be generous!"
"If I could just have one silver hairpin, I'd be satisfied. She's wearing all gold!"
Wang's steps slowed as she soaked in the envious chatter of the women around her. It filled her with deep satisfaction; the air seemed fragrant with flowers, the sunlight just right, and her mood brightened.
Upon encountering familiar faces, she could stop to chat for a while. Thus, Village was filled with her laughter for nearly an hour, receiving countless compliments as Wang returned home, satisfied.
Little did she know that her days of smiling were numbered; the Wanjia business suddenly faced multiple setbacks in a short time.
As Liu Qingxi descended the mountain, she could still hear the many women discussing Wang's golden hairpin and gold bracelets.
She chuckled; this woman was truly always showing off.
“Qinglian, you all head back first. I have something to take care of. By the way, take one of these wild rabbits or wild chickens each.”
Zhang Hongling quickly waved her hand: “Sister Liu, I can’t accept this. These are all from your catch. You keep them; we’ll catch some with the traps we set later.”
After Zhang Hongling finished, Liu Qingxi packed up each trap and took them down the mountain, having them dig two traps each before they left.
“Just take them if I’m offering! I can’t eat them all by myself. Hurry up, one for each of you.” Liu Qingxi insisted, placing them into their hands.
Unable to refuse any longer, the girls could only take them and leave with shy smiles on their faces.
“Sister Liu, I’ll sleep with you tonight.” Her current task was to keep her company, and she giggled; she enjoyed being with Liu Qingxi.
Passing by someone’s house, they couldn’t help but compliment: “Hong Ling, not bad! How did you catch these?”
Zhang Hongling smiled bashfully: “I was lucky today. Aunt, I’m heading home now.”
When Zhang Wuliang saw her carrying a wild rabbit home, he sighed, "Qingxi, this girl!"
She truly was a thoughtful young lady, so considerate that it tugged at his heart.
The Liu Qingxi he spoke of was currently at Yang Family Courtyard: "Aunt, these are for you to try."
"Oh my, Qingxi, why did you bring all the good stuff for me? Aunt doesn't need this much. By the way, last time you came, I wasn't home because I went to pay respects. Luckily, I'm here today; otherwise, I would have missed you again."
The Wen Family acted all serious, but really, were they not home? She had personally witnessed the Youth enjoying a sweet meal together and had teased her son about it several times.
Liu Qingxi suddenly recalled the last time and felt her face flush; Yang Yichen had fed her.
Then, with the chopsticks she had used.
Stop! Stop! She couldn't think about that! But still, that was an indirect kiss.
Today, the young man calmly used the chopsticks she had used; that image was still vividly etched in her mind.
It wasn't hard for the Wen Family to imagine what had happened; the girl was shy. She decided not to be too aggressive; what if she scared off her daughter-in-law?
"Aunt, you keep this for yourself. Yang Yichen helped me a lot in town yesterday; I need to thank him."
Liu Qingxi just forgot that escaping the teasing from the Wen Family elder didn't mean it would be easier with Yang Yichen.
It was a larger gray wolf, wasn't it? But at that moment, she was unaware.
In a flurry, she rushed out of the Wen Family's room and headed straight for Yang Yichen's study. "Yang Yichen!" she exclaimed as she pushed the door open.
Yang Yichen, who was engrossed in reviewing letters and handling various business matters, immediately set down his pen and discreetly pushed the top letter underneath the others.
"Uh!" Liu Qingxi was taken aback. What did she want from Yang Yichen? Did she miss him?
Although she truly wanted to see him, how could she come out like this? Deep down, she was timid and hesitant to take the first step in matters of the heart.
"Ah, you're busy. I won't disturb you," she said.
When a girl takes the initiative to seek someone out, no man would pass up such an opportunity.
Yang Yichen extended his long arm and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"You..." Liu Qingxi instinctively struggled as his arm gradually tightened around her.
"I was worried about you," Yang Yichen slowly spoke.
I was worried about you! Such simple four words, how touching they were, how beautiful the sentiment.
