Chapter 412 - 412 407 Evil Woman

?Chapter 412: Chapter 407: Evil Woman Chapter 412: Chapter 407: Evil Woman Mrs. Wang sighed again, saying, “This time, your nanny, your eldest uncle, aunt, and Agui must go to the wedding, and they intend to take Aju and Dahu along to see the world. A couple of days ago, your eldest uncle and aunt came over for a visit, and they insinuated that Aju is of age now and doesn’t have a decent piece of jewelry, and that she would embarrass Aman in the Capital City.” Her voice went up, “No decent jewelry? They should go to Silver Tower and buy some, shouldn’t they? Why come over here and talk about it? I know what’s on their minds. Even though I have a few nice pieces of jewelry, those were gifts from my daughter, and I am not willing to pass them on to a niece who I’m not particularly fond of, so I pretended not to catch their drift. After they left, your father asked me if I should give Aju twenty taels of silver to purchase jewelry. I did not agree with him. Although your father was not very pleased, he didn’t say much. Yesterday, I heard from your third aunt, they had also tried to plead poverty with the third household. Mrs. Hu’s idea was that their household should buy a piece of jewelry for Aju. After all, if Aju loses face, it’s also a loss for Aman. Your third aunt was so frustrated that she even had a few words with Mrs. Hu… Despite spending so much, I might still end up being criticized.”

Chen Afu had quite a few things on her mind recently, and the matter concerning the eldest household only added to her frustration. She huffed, “People’s minds are fickle, desires are cultivated, and greed is let out. If my father and third uncle keep on giving, not only will they find it increasingly difficult, but the appetite of the eldest household will also grow. Just like my other father, he still protects that wicked old witch right to her core. This is not filial piety, but leniency to crime, it is blind obedience.”

Seeing that her daughter was upset, Mrs. Wang regretted her loose tongue again. She said, “Alright, I’ve put my foot in my mouth again. Don’t be angry, my dear. This time your father did take advice and didn’t give any money. Your third uncle didn’t give any either…”
Chen Afu has too many concerns at present and she really didn’t want to dwell anymore on the petty matters of the Chens.

Looking at the warm sunlight streaming in through the west window, Mrs. Wang murmured, “It’s almost the twelfth lunar month and the weather is still so warm.”

Chen Afu replied, “This weather is very unusual, mom. You should store more grain in the mansion just in case. Also let my eldest uncle and third uncle store more grain.”
