After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 150: She Has to Work Hard Too

"So you’re Wen Nuan, huh? My mom keeps praising you." Zhao Xiaohua, as usual, is very outgoing.

Wen Nuan isn’t timid either and responds gracefully, "Madam speaks highly of Miss too."

"Don’t call Miss, it sounds weird. I’m Zhao Xiaohua, just call Xiaohua." Zhao Xiaohua said, then pointed to Li Changning and introduced, "This is Li Changning, my cousin."

"Nice to et you, Miss Cousin."

Li Changning waved her hand, indicating for Wen Nuan to call her by na.

"That won’t do, I’m here to serve Madam as a maid, I have to follow the rules." Wen Nuan refused.

Only if Madam tells her not to, she would stop calling her Miss.

Zhao Xiaohua didn’t dwell on this issue as it was rely a form of address. She was more curious about what happened to her mom in the county. Ever since returning, her mom and the others had been busy and hadn’t had ti to tell her.

Now that Wen Nuan was here, she could ask her to tell the story.

So Wen Nuan began with how ng Yao helped her and her brother, recounting everything she knew in detail.

The young girl’s storytelling ability was impressive; Zhao Xiaohua and Li Changning listened intently, afraid of missing anything.

The noise outside reached a crescendo when the banquet started.

The wealthy families from the town weren’t very interested in the country-style continuous feast, and since all intended conversations and gestures of goodwill were done, they didn’t stay for the al.

As for the gifts they gave, Zhao Dahe, in the spirit of appreciating his teacher, didn’t even touch them and announced in front of everyone that the silver would be used for school supplies, books, and ink for the students.

Mr. Wang couldn’t close his mouth in astonishnt.

Though the Qian Family didn’t lack money, seeing benefits for the students without using their silver was a joy for them.

These people felt a bit unwilling in their hearts, but no one showed it openly. Moreover, they didn’t dare underestimate the young Zhao Dahe. This young man, neither arrogant nor impetuous, wasn’t swayed by his early fa. His future potential was imasurable.

He didn’t accept anyone’s gift and yet offended no one.

Oh well, since he is Mr. Wang’s talented disciple, maintaining a good relationship with Mr. Wang was beneficial anyway.

People began to leave one after another until only the Qian Family’s and Li Family’s carriages were left.

In the village, with Zheng Chunhua organizing, the atmosphere was lively, and no one dared to cause trouble at this ti.

ng Zhu showed signs of fatigue, so ng Yao quickly assisted ng Zhu back to the room, setting up a small table to host Mrs. Qian and ng Zhu.

Checking in Zhao Xiaohua’s room, the three hadn’t eaten yet, so food was arranged for them quickly.

Afterward, ng Yao and Zheng Chunhua entertained the village won together.

People gradually dispersed by the afternoon.

ng Yao felt her waist was about to break.

Once everyone was gone, the cooks counted the ingredients. What wasn’t cooked they took away, and what was cooked but uneaten went to the Zhao Family.

The leftover amount was about a table’s worth, which was fairly well-managed.

ng Yao settled the bill pleasantly, and the cooks quickly tidied up, even cleaning the open space.

Zheng Chunhua said a few words to the cook’s family and sent them off.

"Sister-in-law, take so of the untouched food back." ng Yao said.

Zheng Chunhua didn’t argue, "I’ll take a bit more to properly replenish myself."

Though she said so, Zheng Chunhua didn’t take much, only packed so lion’s head atballs and braised pork.

The village chief was in an exceptionally good mood today and had a few drinks; he was barely coherent at this point but still held onto Zhao Dahe’s hand, repeatedly reminding him not to forget Shanghua Village when he becos successful.

Zheng Chunhua forcibly helped him away.

Mr. Wang wasn’t much better; after Mrs. Qian ca out from the house, she directed a few students to carry Mr. Wang onto the carriage, with Zhao Xiaoshu accompanying them back.

Originally, ng Yao wanted him to stay overnight, but Zhao Xiaoshu directly refused.

His second brother was so accomplished, he needed to strive like him, make the most of his ti to study, and also have such achievents in the future.

Due to being sowhat worn out, ng Zhu had Li Baixia take the brokers and leave first.

Song Xiu’er and Zhao Dajiang busily tidied the house, while ng Yao sat with ng Zhu for a chat.

"Since Chang’an and Zhenzhen are staying here, you must try to bring them together. Sister Money is very fond of Chang’an," ng Zhu said with a joyful smile.

"For things like this, the kids need to be willing; otherwise, matchmaking won’t help. Many madams asked about Chang’an today, so don’t rush regarding his marriage," ng Yao replied.

Zhao Dahe is the only one, but there are relatives in the Zhao Family.

So these people didn’t just focus on Zhao Dahe. When they learned Li Chang’an was unmarried, they showed great interest.

Even those with sons didn’t spare Zhao Xiaohua.

"Those people..." ng Zhu shook her head, "I’m only looking at Zhenzhen."

"I’ll keep an eye on them. As long as the children show signs of it, I’ll bring them together," ng Yao had no choice but to say.

After dinner that night, ng Yao called Zhao Dahe for a chat.

"What do you think about today’s situation with the Li family?" ng Yao asked.

"Causing trouble on such an occasion, the Li couples..." Zhao Dahe chuckled lightly, "not worth fearing."

"The most taboo thing is underestimating the opponent. Although the Li couple left disgraced today, you can’t underestimate them. Madam Li dared to bring up your future in front of so many people, at least indicating that the Li Family indeed has the ability to ddle in your prospects," ng Yao said seriously.

"So many people know about it, do they dare?" Zhao Dahe was indifferent.

"Just because they don’t act now doesn’t an they won’t act later. You don’t even have a formal title yet. So far, you’re rely the top of the county exams. Tell , what deterrence does this title have? Apart from bringing you this fleeting glory, what else?" ng Yao’s tone grew sterner.

Although he hadn’t lost his sense of direction, as a young man, a bit of arrogance had crept in.

Even if they don’t tamper with the prefecture test, what about the academy test?

If they can’t do anything openly, what about secretly?

An impoverished student without any connections could easily have an "accident," and people would simply sigh with regret without investigating why the accident happened.

ng Yao’s stern words made Zhao Dahe ponder.

"Mother, I..." Zhao Dahe felt a bit ashad.

"You’re always smart; I trust once you calm down, you’ll know how to proceed in the future." ng Yao took a deep breath, "You’ve had a long day too, better rest early."

Zhao Dahe murmured assent and turned to return to his room.

ng Yao stood in the courtyard for a while before turning back inside. With what happened with the Li Family, she knew she couldn’t remain idle either. As Zhao Dahe worked hard, she must also exert effort.
