Chapter 146: Housewarming, Jealousy to the Point of Twist
Chapter 146: Housewarming, Jealousy to the Point of Twist
Qu Jingyao and his servant came to the front yard.
When the aunts in the village saw her, they all came forward to talk to her. You know, the Qu family is rich now, they live in a big house and have servants.
It would be a lie to say that I'm not envious or jealous, but times have changed and I can't bully the mother and daughter as I did before.
I can only try my best to please him. Since we are from the same village, maybe I can even get some advantages.
The Yu family and the widow Fu in this village made a lot of money from her!
The widow Fu and her daughter were so poor that they could barely afford to eat. Now they can even eat meat. Who wouldn’t be jealous!
"Oh, Yao girl is getting more and more beautiful."
"Yes! Yes! I wonder which kid will be so lucky in the future."
"My aunt's family has a nephew..."
"Come on, your family is so poor."
Qu Jingyao listened to the women's chattering in front of her, and a flash of annoyance flashed in her eyes. Bai Guo immediately stepped forward:
"Ladies, please take your seats quickly. The banquet is about to begin, and my master has to go pick up a friend."
As he spoke, Baiguo blocked the way for the women who were approaching. Qu Jingyao smiled and nodded, then quickly walked towards the gate.
At this time, a carriage was parked outside the door, and it was Old Wang and his grandson Wang Hanyu who got off.
This boy heard from her brother two days ago that the girl was moving to a new house, and he ran around the town several times looking for a gift.
Early this morning he told the old man to accompany him on this trip. He liked this girl very much and didn't mind making such a long trip.
"Mr. Wang? Young Master Wang? Why are you here? Please come in."
"Girl, you didn't even tell me about your move. If it weren't for me, your grandson, you would have missed it."
Old Wang pretended to have a fierce face and blamed him.
Qu Jingyao smiled awkwardly: "It's my fault, Mr. Wang, please come in."
She led the grandfather and grandson to the front hall, where the village head and her brother were greeting the respected uncles in the village.
"Uncle Village Chief, brother, Elder Wang and Young Master Wang are here."
She did not reveal Mr. Wang's identity to Xu Lizheng, but only said that he was the owner of the bookstore in town.
Xu Lizheng quickly stood up and asked the grandparents and grandchildren to take a seat.
Holly came looking for me outside.
"Master, there is someone outside who wants to see you."
A hint of doubt flashed in Qu Jingyao's eyes, then she smiled and greeted the Wang family, and asked her brother to say hello as well.
She turned and walked out of the front hall. The people at several tables in the yard saw Wang Hanyu's imposing appearance and started talking about him.
Qu Jingyao didn't see it, but a jealous and resentful look was glanced at her from the corner.
There happened to be the family of Grandma Qu Wu, Aunt Yu's mother-in-law.
It happened that Miao Tian also came along. When she saw the Qu family's big house and Qu Jingyao's dress, her eyes were full of jealousy.
"This girl has finally made a name for herself. Look, even the owner of the bookstore in town came in person to give her a gift. Wow..." Grandma Qu Wu muttered while eating melon seeds.
Miao Tian felt even more unbalanced. Why? When she saw that handsome young man just now, her heart was beating like a deer.
If she had been able to stay, she would have earned a lot of money and saved up her dowry. Why did she have to be scolded by her mother as a money-loser every day?
Thinking of this, she glared at Yu. Her second cousin's wife was quite sinister. She didn't even say a word about such a good thing and made a fortune in silence.
Why didn't she realize that Yu was so insidious before?
Yu glanced at Miao Tian in confusion, wondering what was wrong with this girl.
Mrs. Wu and her daughter from the main house murmured, "Fei Fei, did you see that? That handsome young man is obviously from a wealthy family."
Qu Feifei blushed and glanced towards the front hall.
When Miao Tian saw this scene, he clenched his hands tightly under the table and gave Qu Feifei a sarcastic look.
At this time, outside the gate, Qu Jingyao looked at Leng Yi in surprise.
"Miss Qu, this is a gift from my master. Congratulations on your new home."
She frowned and glanced at the brocade box, then said coldly, "Take this back and tell him not to mess with me in the future."
After saying this, Qu Jingyao turned around and was about to leave. Bai Guo, who was standing beside her, glanced at Leng Yi, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.
"Wait a minute, Miss Qu, the master said that if you don't accept this gift, he will personally deliver it to you today."
After Leng Yi finished speaking, he stood there quietly holding the brocade box, looking at Qu Jingyao's back.
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she stopped and took another step forward. Bai Guo signaled Leng Yi to leave quickly, and then hurriedly caught up with her master.
Leng Yi, who was behind him, opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. He looked at the gift in his hand, sighed helplessly, and turned to leave Lingshui Village.
The whole scene was seen by Qu Xiuxiu who was hiding in the corner.
"Qu Jingyao is such a bitch. She takes all the good things for herself."
She clutched the earthen wall tightly with her hands and looked towards the gate of the Qu family with gloomy eyes.
If it weren't for Qu Jingyao, how could her life have become so bad now?
My father is disabled, my brother has become very depressed, my grandmother is paralyzed in bed, and my aunt is also the subject of rumors in the village because of her miscarriage.
It will be difficult for her to get married in the future, so how can she not hate it?
It's all Qu Jingyao. If she had married the eldest son of the Wu family, none of what happened later would have happened. She deserves to die. It's all because of her...
After returning to the yard, Qu Jingyao was called away by Liu.
Bai Guo shook his head helplessly at this time, thinking that person would appear soon, alas...
Qu Jingyao was pulled into the yard by her mother.
"What are they?"
"Alas, your Aunt Yu was suddenly beaten by your Grandma Qu Wu for some reason, and she is making a fuss about dividing the family property."
"what?"
Qu Jingyao looked at Grandma Qu Wu, who was standing with her hands on her hips and yelling with a fierce look in her eyes. She felt ashamed to hear those unpleasant words and her face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Shut up! Today is our family's new housewarming celebration. Are you trying to bring bad luck upon us?"
Grandma Qu Wu glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes dodged as she saw her angry look.
"Yao girl, this is not your grandmother Qu Wu's fault. It's because Mrs. Yu is ignorant..." Mrs. Wu said with a pout.
"Haha, then you're sensible. You knew this was going to have a bad influence and be embarrassing, but you still didn't try to stop it. How can you be someone's daughter-in-law or sister-in-law?"
"I......"
When Mrs. Wu heard Qu Jingyao's accusations, her face turned ugly, and the people around her also looked at her strangely.
"Grandma Qu Wu, please stop being angry. Mrs. Wu, you are too ignorant to try to persuade her. It's not appropriate to do so on such a happy day."
"Yes! Okay, okay, come sit down, the meal is about to start."
Yu looked at Liu and Qu Jingyao apologetically, and expressed her apology hesitantly.
"Aunt Yu, it's alright, please take your seat first."
Qu Jingyao gave her a soothing look, which made her feel much more at ease, and she nodded awkwardly.
