Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 63 Take the initiative to get a share of the pie
Although Chang Pingning could guess that someone was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and her mother-in-law, and it seemed that the villagers believed it easily.

"Rui Lan, if you believe me, just do me a favor." Chang Pingning took two steps forward, looked back at Rui Lan, and after seeing her affirmative eyes, whispered to her, "Help me go to the village. Let’s find out what everyone says about our family.

"I always feel that there were a bunch of people in front of the stall to see my second brother in the morning, something is wrong. Although he is a man, he doesn't go out to see people in a work place; now there are people who specifically say something about my mother-in-law in my ears. ..." Chang Pingning said, frowning with a confused expression.

After what Chang Pingning said, Ruilan also felt that the things she encountered today seemed a bit too directed at the Guo family. If it were more extreme, it could even be said to be directed at her stall.

Ruilan nodded solemnly towards Chang Pingning.

The two separated within a few steps.

When Chang Pingning walked to the door of Guo's courtyard, he heard the voices of several aunts talking from the courtyard.

"Let me tell you, your eldest daughter-in-law's stall is making a lot of money every day. Why don't you choose carefully when you choose a wife for that boy Zhongzhou, and take a look at it in the town too. If someone in your family can make money, how about moving to the town? Isn’t it easy?”

"That's right, having a money bag at home is no better than anything else! Spending money how you want is better than your family always going to the port to sell fish, right? Your boss doesn't have to go to sea all the time."

"Xiuying, if you ask me, you are thin-skinned. All the money earned by your newly married daughter-in-law is handed over to your mother-in-law. How can you manage your own money and only share it with your mother-in-law?"

Unexpectedly, someone came to their home to instigate.Chang Pingning quietly opened the door and looked at the few people in the yard.

Several familiar aunts saw Chang Pingning at the door and suddenly stood up: "Xiuying, we have something to do at home, so I won't talk to you today."

After saying that, he walked towards the door. When he came to Chang Pingning's side, everyone deliberately avoided Chang Pingning's sight.

Chang Pingning looked at the backs of those aunts, walked into the yard and called: "Mom."

Ye Xiuying's expression was cold: "Don't worry, I won't be greedy for the things on your stall." After saying that, she stood up and walked to the main room without talking to Chang Pingning.

What else did they say?
Chang Pingning wanted to ask this question.But thinking about my mother-in-law's reaction just now, I felt that it was not the right time for me to ask this question.Maybe the mother-in-law really listened to what they said to sow discord?
Chang Pingning walked into his room angrily.Looking at the two pillows on the bed, I couldn't help but wonder: If Guo Bomo had not gone to sea, would he have made peace with his mother-in-law?
But Dong Xiuyuan's voice soon appeared in Chang Pingning's mind: She is my mother, why should you respect her?
Chang Pingning was disgusted by the sudden appearance of Dong Xiuyuan's voice, shook his head and stood up again.She planned to do something first to see if she could ease the relationship between herself and her mother-in-law.

Before Chang Pingning could walk out of his house, he heard a conversation outside the door.

"Aunt Xiuying, are Sister Pingning here?" Ruilan's voice came out.

"She's in the house. Go find her." My mother-in-law's voice sounded the same as usual.

Chang Pingning opened the door in confusion: "I'm here." By the way, he took a look at the expression on his mother-in-law's face and found that it was the same as usual.Chang Pingning was confused. What was the reason for her mother-in-law's indifference just now?

"Sister Pingning, I heard from my mother that the aunts in the village seem to want to drive a wedge between the two of you?" Rilan said, looking at the two of them nervously, "You said that your mother-in-law is unkind and your daughter-in-law is unfilial. "

"Then what?" Chang Pingning asked, "Do you know what their purpose is?" "What other purpose can they have? Get money from me." Ye Xiuying said very lightly, pointing to the place where she was sitting before, " I've been talking here all afternoon, using excuses to find a wife for Zhong Zhou, and I have so many ideas one by one."

Chang Pingning saw her mother-in-law showing a very disdainful smile as she spoke.

"Mom, you didn't believe them?" Chang Pingning was surprised. She thought the cold mother-in-law she met when she first came back was because she believed the instigation of the villagers.

"Do you believe it or not?" Ye Xiuying said, "It's not like I don't know how you set up your stall. Besides, I support the education of the third and fourth children, and I rely mostly on the money I earn. .

"But they had just taken a few steps at that time. What if they turned back to listen? I didn't give you a good look when you first came back." Ye Xiuying said.

Seeing her mother-in-law acting rationally, Chang Pingning finally breathed a sigh of relief.She looked around the yard and saw no sign of her second brother or father-in-law.

"Mom, have dad and second brother come back to see the girl from the nearby village?" Chang Pingning asked. It seemed that there were no signs of many guests coming to the house.

"Hey, don't mention it." Ye Xiuying waved her hand and told Chang Pingning that when the two of them came back, they said that there were more than a dozen people coming to see the second child in the family, but after she welcomed everyone in, I found that the number of people was at least half missing, and there were only about a dozen houses.

Later, those people didn't chat for a few words and left on the pretext of having something to do.After the three of them entertained them like this, they found that everyone had left in the end, and they looked very insincere.

Guo Zhongzhou was a little unhappy by this incident. Upon seeing this, Guo Dayong took him to check the fishing net that was dropped the day before.

Chang Pingning didn't expect that his second brother's heart was a little fragile. After all, he had been practicing at the stall for a while, and he had often experienced being rejected by customers.Why are you so vulnerable this time?
Although she thought so in her heart, Chang Pingning was considerate of her mother-in-law's love for her second brother and did not express her thoughts. Instead, she told her mother-in-law that after the gang left the port, she saw the leader talking to Guo Yuhua. chat.

Ruilan on the side kept nodding when she heard Chang Pingning's words.

It seems that this meeting has something to do with Guo Yuhua.Moreover, it was Guo Yuhua who had never dealt with them.

Chang Pingning didn't know what Guo Yuhua wanted to do, but at least the things she had done so far had a great impact on Chang Pingning's stall and the relationship between Chang Pingning's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"But, mother, why are they all willing to speak for Guo Yuhua?" Chang Pingning didn't understand.Guo Yuhua had interests entangled with them, but others in the village did not.

Ye Xiuying thought for a while and looked deeply at Chang Pingning: "What if they think they can get a share of the pie after participating?"

Chang Pingning blinked, feeling that an idea he had had was about to come out.

"Mom, what if we take the initiative to share the pie?"
