Chapter 736 - 732: Meddling

As an elder who had just been contradicted, the First Aunt’s expression turned sour. "Fine, fine. So I was being nosy. From this day on, I won’t get involved in your family’s business ever again."

With that, she called out to her son and daughter-in-law, "You all heard her. They don’t appreciate us meddling. From now on, don’t even think about backing them up, only to lose your own work points in the process."

Since Leng Qingtian was coming today, Mrs. Sun had specifically asked the first branch of the family to skip work this morning to help bolster Sun Yeshu’s reputation.

The Leng Family was large.

Aunt Leng had three sons, and Third Aunt Leng also had three sons. Three of them worked in the County Town, and two of their wives were city folk. Such prestige was unparalleled in the Qingshan Team.

The Sun family alone seemed much weaker by comparison, so they had asked the first branch to help put on a good show. They had kindly stayed behind to back them up, but what was the result? A junior had dared to talk back to her.

From now on, she was done with their business.

The First Aunt turned and went back to her room. Just as Mrs. Sun was about to say something, Sun Yeshu came forward and grabbed her mother’s arm. "Mom, if she doesn’t want to get involved, then fine. Who needs her anyway? I’m pregnant. There’s no way Leng Qingtian won’t come for me."

Mrs. Sun thought that made sense.

She had two sons, and her eldest brother-in-law’s family had sons too. She’d finally had this one daughter, so of course she doted on her. Now, her daughter was well-married and pregnant. The Leng Family would never abandon this child.

"Next time, don’t be so impulsive. Talk things out properly."

Sun Yeshu pursed her lips. "Mom, everything I’m saying is for the baby. I want to make Qingtian find a job in the County Town so our child can have a county registration. This is all for my baby."

Mrs. Sun remained hesitant. "That Gu Jiaojiao is not someone to be trifled with. Liu Xiqing has run roughshod over this village for years, always taking advantage of people. But last time, just for badmouthing Leng Yuan, Gu Jiaojiao scared him so badly he didn’t dare leave his house for days. Why are you trying to provoke her?"

"And then there’s Leng Yuan. He’s quick to throw a punch, freakishly strong... like some kind of monster. He’s not someone you should mess with either."

Seeing her mother’s worry, Sun Yeshu leaned in and whispered.

"No matter how formidable Leng Yuan is, if Gu Jiaojiao can’t have children, they’ll have to rely on my baby in the future, won’t they?"

"For that reason alone, Gu Jiaojiao will have to apologize to me. So don’t you worry!"

Such was the traditional mindset in the countryside.

When elders had no children of their own, they could only rely on their nephews. Leng Yuan had no nephews on his sister’s side to count on, which only left his brother’s children.

’This relationship basically means Leng Yuan has to come begging to me. So of course I can’t soften my stance. Otherwise, people will think I’m a pushover!’

The thought of Gu Jiaojiao, that pampered girl from the city, humbly apologizing to her made Sun Yeshu’s heart race with excitement.

’In the whole Qingshan Team, no one dares to mess with Gu Jiaojiao. But I dare.’

’From now on, whenever I go out, people will look up to me.’

Sun Yeshu felt a thrill just thinking about it.

A glint appeared in Mrs. Sun’s eyes as her gaze fell on her daughter’s belly. ’Could it be true that Gu Jiaojiao can’t have children? Otherwise, why has she been married for so long with no news?’

’If that’s the case, then Leng Yuan and Gu Jiaojiao really will have to rely on their nephew in the future.’

At this thought, Mrs. Sun immediately grabbed Sun Yeshu’s hand and said with a smile, "It seems marrying you to Leng Qingtian was the right decision after all. All of Leng Yuan’s connections will be yours in the future. With his help, it won’t be hard to find you a job in the County Town."

Sun Yeshu immediately linked arms with her mother. "Mom, once I move to the city, I’ll bring you to live there with me."
