Chapter 206 -207: Finding Men for You and Your Daughter_1
Chengzi listened, dumbstruck. He had planned to bring the game for Qinghe, which Wanwan also agreed was a good idea. He hadn’t considered whether the family had enough to eat, the main concern being that Qinghe was pregnant, and he couldn’t let her be neglected. That’s why he brought so much game back; although there was still some left at home, Li Cheng hadn’t planned to eat any of it himself; he intended to sell them all.
Now, hearing what Muniang said, he suddenly felt that he was not man enough, for having made his wife suffer with him, and instantly felt a wave of shame.
“I really hadn’t thought about it that much, Muniang, thank you. My head really doesn’t get these things.”
Muniang smiled and said, “In the future, think more of your wife. You can’t expect to live as if you were still single after getting married. Wanwan is a fine girl; what other wife would happily watch her husband give the best things away every day, especially when she doesn’t get a bite herself? You must treat her well. Finding such a good girl is the fortune of several lifetimes for you.”
Li Cheng’s face turned red: “I, I know that, and I will definitely treat Wanwan well.”
Muniang smiled, handing a wild rabbit to Li Cheng: “Here, take this back for Wanwan to nourish herself. I don’t lack anything here. From now on, just bring less, and Qinghe certainly won’t be aggrieved.”
Muniang knew that Li Cheng was embarrassed about Qinghe staying here for her confinement, and that’s why he often brought game. If she didn’t let Li Cheng bring anything, he would always feel uneasy, so she simply told him to bring less.
At this point, Qinghe came in and, seeing all these things, scolded Li Cheng at length. His face flushed with embarrassment, he took a rabbit and slinked away.
Qinghe said, irritated, “Look at my brother, he really doesn’t know how to act around people. We’re lucky that my sister-in-law is so magnanimous. Otherwise, any other woman might have caused an uproar by now.”
Muniang said with amusement, “You should be content. To have such a good brother is something I can’t even pray for. Just look at my uncle; when you compare people, the difference can be huge.”
Qinghe’s annoyance subsided: “In this life, my brother and I have only had each other. You envy me for having a brother, and I envy you for having a mother.”
Muniang glared at her playfully: “Enough, enough, we’re both grown-ups now, no need to compare these things. From now on, my mother will be your mother, and your brother will be my brother. That way, we’ll be even.”
Qinghe broke into a smile: “That’s a great idea!”
Suddenly, Qingya came in, looking somewhat upset: “Lady, Mrs. Chui and Mr. Lin have come again.”
Muniang’s face darkened instantly; it had only been a few days, and here they were again. Could they really not see her as an outsider?
“Hey, why stop me? We’re your honored mother’s own brother and sister-in-law. We’re all family now; there’s no need for such formalities. Make way, quickly.”
Mrs. Chui’s voice came from the outer courtyard. Soon after, she burst in, with the little page looking troubled as he followed. They didn’t know if they should block her. The Old Lady doted on Mr. Lin, and the Lady didn’t care for him. They thought to let Qingya inform them first before deciding, but Mrs. Chui insisted on barging in, leaving the pages uncertain about whether to stop her, and she slipped through.
Muniang waved her hand dismissively: “You all may leave.” She obviously wasn’t going to hold the pages’ mistake against them; she knew they were in a difficult position.
Relieved to hear that the Lady wasn’t blaming them, the pages hastily complied and left.
Mrs. Chui glared at the group of serving boys, “Blind as bats.”
Then, she put on a smiling face and approached Muniang, “Muniang, where’s your mother? Have you eaten yet? I rushed over here early in the morning and haven’t had breakfast yet. Oh, look at all this game, looks like we’ll be having rabbit for lunch.”
Muniang truly couldn’t be bothered with her and said to Qinghe, “You go back to the room and rest, don’t tire yourself out.” In reality, she was worried that Qinghe would be annoyed by Mrs. Chui.
Qinghe didn’t want to see Mrs. Chui’s face either, so she went straight to the back yard.
Mrs. Chui shouted towards the entrance, “What’s taking so long? Hurry up and come in!”
Muniang was startled and before she could react, she saw several unfamiliar faces walk in. Mrs. Chui pulled them inside and introduced them with a laugh, “Muniang, this is your brother Lin De, you don’t recognize him, do you? This is your Uncle Chui San, and this here is my nephew, Uncle Chui San’s son Chui Laicai.”
Muniang’s face turned dark in an instant as she looked coldly at Mrs. Chui, “So what? What are you doing bringing your family to my house?” Mrs. Chui really didn’t consider herself an outsider. Just this morning, she brought her whole family, and even her relatives too. Did she really think this estate was her own?!
Mrs. Chui exclaimed, “We’re all family, why talk about your maternal family and my maternal family? You mother and daughter were driven out by the Qiao family, and you don’t have many relatives. Isn’t it beneficial to acknowledge a few more relatives?”
While Mrs. Chui spoke, Chui San chimed in as well, “Exactly, exactly, we’re all family now; why distinguish so clearly?” As he spoke, however, his eyes were shifty, clearly harboring some scheme. Chui San’s son Chui Laicai was even worse, leering at Muniang with a sleazy expression.
Right now, Muniang just wanted to get rid of them and said coldly, “Our house doesn’t need it!”

As luck would have it, Mrs. Lin came out. Mrs. Chui immediately ignored what Muniang had said and grabbed Mrs. Lin’s hand to introduce her to them, paying little attention to Mrs. Lin’s own son, instead always pulling Mrs. Lin to talk to the father and son.
Muniang’s brows furrowed slightly; the weasel paying New Year’s visit to the chicken, never for anything good. What was this all about?
“Auntie, our home isn’t an inn that just anyone can come in for food and lodging. If you and my uncle come over, it’s only right for us to entertain you, but you also bring your maternal family to make relations, thinking I’m easy to bully, right?”
Mrs. Chui hurriedly said, “What are you talking about? I am also doing this for your own good.”
Muniang squinted her eyes, the light in her pupils becoming a bit dangerous.
Mrs. Chui sighed and said, “Yesterday, when I was returning from your village, I heard a lot of gossip on the way, saying that you two, mother and daughter, caused the death of your husband and the daughter ran away from her husband, because you both had done too many immoral things in your fate and deserved having no man. When I heard this, I was furious. I thought, how could such good people like my elder sister and my niece be slandered like this by others?”
Muniang’s lips twisted in a rather sinister smile, “So what?”
Mrs. Chui didn’t rush to continue, instead pulling the father and son closer, “You see, my brother here also lost his wife a few years ago and has been living alone with his son, and my nephew here hasn’t married yet. Both of these men, I can vouch for, are really good people, just the perfect match for you mother and daughter. Then who in this village will dare to say your family has no men left?”
