Fortunate Life of the Rural Beauty

Chapter 10 - 10 9 Why

?Chapter 10: Chapter 9 Why Chapter 10: Chapter 9 Why Mrs. Chen dared not anger her son anymore and began to speak ill of his eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu. She also decided to invite the family of the second son to eat dinner at the eldest son’s house three days later. It was the seventeenth of the third month and her fifty-sixth birthday.

“I want a modest celebration and will not invite outsiders. I won’t ask my third son’s family to return either. Only my eldest son’s family and yours will gather for dinner,” Mrs. Chen said.

Chen Ming chuckled, “It’s not good for my eldest brother’s family to bear the cost of your birthday celebration, mother. When it’s time, I’ll bring fifty cents. Your youngest daughter-in-law has also made you a long dress, embroidered with numerous ‘fortune’ characters on the collar. When you wear it, you’ll surely outshine Granny Gao.”

Granny Gao is Junior Officer Gao’s mother, and not only does he hold the post of junior officer, but he is also the richest landlord in Xiangluo village.

Mrs. Chen laughed joyfully at the news, “That’s good news. I know my second daughter-in-law is capable, and my fondness for her isn’t misplaced.” She continued, “Don’t bring up the fifty cents, save it to buy some good food to nourish your body. The spending money your third brother gave me is more than enough, I can’t even spend all of it. Here, this is fifty cents. Hand it to your eldest brother in front of your sister-in-law. Mrs. Hu is always wide-eyed at money.”

Chen Ming objected immediately, “That’s not appropriate…”
“Why not?” Mrs. Chen reprised, “The dress that your wife made is worth some money. Not like your eldest sister-in-law, even if she rarely stitches a garment for me, she can’t even embroider a single flower or petal.” Then followed a round of Chen Ming’s declining and Mrs. Chen forcefully insisting.

Only after it seemed that Mrs. Chen was becoming upset did Chen Ming accept the money.

Chen Afu didn’t come to the room until Mrs. Chen left. The brightness of the late afternoon sun made Afu squint.
