After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 59 Madam Bai's Reprimand
The group returned to the Bai residence.

Granny Li immediately went to report to Madam Bai. No one knows what she said, but when Madam Wan went to Madam Bai's courtyard to serve her...

Madam Bai actually set rules for her, making her stand outside in the sun for half an hour before letting her in.

Wan was drenched in sweat, but dared not complain.

Madam Bai gave her a cold glance and asked slowly, "I heard from Granny Li that Su Yu married well, and is the son of a village chief. Why haven't you mentioned this before?"

Madam Wan hurriedly defended herself, saying, "Madam, although my son-in-law is the village chief's son, he is still a farmer. He has not separated from the family and has no other means of making a living. He is also someone I was betrothed to. I don't think there's anything to say about him."

"It's only because the village chief's family is close to my uncle's family and knows their backgrounds well that I feel more at ease, which is why I agreed to this marriage."

Madam Bai remained calm and did not let Wan off the hook because of her words. Instead, she asked about Su Chunlin's family background.

Madam Wan looked bewildered. "Madam, you are wise. I may not see my brother-in-law's family even once a year. I only saw them once when they got married. Later, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, my brother-in-law would come to the county town to ask us for help. I only let my husband deal with them and never showed up myself."

If Xiaoyu weren't in the village now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have much contact with my uncle's family. I only learned about their family from my husband.

However, it was common knowledge that their family had made a fortune from the land, and presumably the yamen runners in the county government were aware of it as well.

She deliberately mentioned the constables to tell Madam Bai that the Su Chunlin family's money had nothing to do with them.

Madam Bai couldn't stand the servants and powerful relatives in the mansion. Upon hearing this, her face darkened, and she pondered how to reprimand Madam Wan.

Just then, Granny Li whispered a lot of things in Madam Bai's ear.

Madam Bai's expression softened, and she looked at Madam Wan, pondering, "Su Chuan is not young anymore. Now that Su Yu is married, it is really inappropriate for him, as the older brother, to be still single. It just so happens that the eldest young mistress's dowry maid, Cuilan, is not yet married, so let her go with Su Chuan."

Madam Wan was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at the smug Li Mama. She felt that there was something fishy going on, but she didn't know what the problem was, so she could only agree for the time being.

As soon as Madam Wan left, Granny Li asked in bewilderment, "Why didn't Madam search Su Chunsen's family's belongings? What if they really have acquired properties outside?"

"What's the panic!" Madam Bai gave a cold laugh. "She can remain calm in front of you, which means she's not afraid of an investigation at all. If I really search their property and find nothing, wouldn't that alienate Su Chunlin's family from the Bai family?"
I may not need Wanxiang, but my husband trusts Su Chunsen completely, and the eldest son is also satisfied with Su Chuan. Why should I cause trouble in the household because of some unfounded rumors?
"Just wait and see! After Cuilan marries into the family, she'll eventually find out about the Su family's financial situation. Then you can go and investigate further, and you'll know for sure!"

Since the entire family's indentures were in her hands anyway, she didn't need to rush anything.

At this moment, Madam Wan was at Young Master Bai's Qiufeng Courtyard, telling Su Chuan about Madam Bai's arranged marriage.

Su Chuan's reaction was relatively calm. He only raised an eyebrow and reminded Wan Shi, "Mother, that Granny Li is not a good person. You must not let her know anything in the future."

Madam Wan nodded repeatedly, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth. "Even if you don't say anything, I will sever all ties with her in the future. She's just a dowry maid, does she really think she can control everything? You wait, I'll get my revenge later! But son, why did Madam betroth Cuilan to you?"
Logically speaking, she's the eldest young mistress's personal maid, and considered a respectable person in the household. The madam is clearly using this to pressure our family into letting you marry Cuilan. Isn't there something wrong with her?"

Su Chuan glanced at the study out of the corner of his eye, then shook his head at Madam Wan. “Mother, nothing of the sort. If Cuilan really had any problems, how could Madam possibly keep her in the mansion? It’s probably because Granny Li was trying to sow discord between Madam and us. Madam was afraid that our family would actually acquire property outside, so she made me marry Cuilan.”

"You only have one son, and I married a maid from the Bai family. Our family has been servants of the Bai family for generations." These words deeply displeased Madam Wan. She instinctively lowered her voice and leaned closer to Su Chuan, "Son, tell me honestly, do you also want to leave the Bai family?"

She wouldn't have made such a guess if she hadn't gone to Dongmen Village, but after visiting and witnessing the stability and prosperity of Su Chunlin's family, as well as the situation in the village, her preconceived notions were shaken.

Su Chuan shook his head insincerely, "Mother, don't overthink it. Go back first. I still need to go to Madam and the eldest young mistress to express my gratitude later."

As soon as Madam Wan stepped out of Qiufeng Courtyard, she heard the sound of porcelain breaking coming from Young Master Bai's study.

She paused for a moment, then quickly quickened her pace and left.

This is Dongmen Village.

After Su Yu got married, Su Chunlin and his wife seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and turned their attention to farm work.

As summer approaches, the crops in the fields need to be watered twice a day, morning and evening. The Su family also has eight more acres of wasteland this year, which they must tend to more meticulously than others.

Even Su Tai had to go down to the field to weed and water.

Amidst the busy work, the two acres of rice in Tu Shikong once again yielded a bumper harvest. After selling them to the automated trading cabinet, they received 3600 coins.

Since the upgrade of the Wood Dimension, she has seen all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable shop and also knows that in addition to rice, paddy fields can also grow other aquatic vegetables, such as water bamboo and lotus root.

So this time she decided to switch to growing water chestnuts.

Firstly, vegetables have a short maturity period, so the cost of trial and error is low. Secondly, she can test the yield per acre of paddy field vegetables so that she can know which crops have the highest cost-effectiveness.

After assigning tasks to the paddy fields, Su Tai stopped paying attention to the fields in the Earth Dimension.

At this time, news spread that Su Yu was pregnant from Su Changxi's family.

As Su Yu's closest family members, Su Tai's family naturally had to show their appreciation.

So Han went around catching chickens, cutting meat, and buying supplies, delivering large and small packages to Su Changxi's house.

When Huang saw those things, she grinned from ear to ear. "You people can come, why did you bring all this stuff? Do you think our family would go hungry or cold for Xiaoyu?"

Han hurriedly put the meat down and took out some fine linen. "I looked around town for a long time, and this is the softest material, suitable for children. Take this and make two little clothes for Xiaoyu's baby."

Su Tai subconsciously reached out and touched the fabric, muttering, "It's not very soft either."

This remark was met with a teasing remark from Madam Huang, who said, "Little girl, you don't know the ropes. This fine linen costs fifty coins a foot, while coarse cloth only costs twenty coins a foot. Your mother would have spent at least two hundred coins to buy this piece of fabric, and you're still complaining!"

Su Tai couldn't help but click her tongue, silently wondering how much money cotton from the Earth Dimension could be made into cotton cloth and sold for.
