Chapter 42 Jealousy

Wu learned about this relatively late.

The main reason is that everyone knows very well that there is no personal relationship between Han Dahu's family and the Cheng family.

What kind of life did Lingbao live when he was at his house? He was a small person, but he had to do the work that only adults can do. There were clearly three sisters above him, but they just worked hard to learn from Lingbao.

.

No one could stand it, but after scolding Wu, she got even worse. This was not helping, but doing bad things out of good intentions. The villagers could only help occasionally and give her a steamed bun to eat.

But it's fine now.

I don't know what kind of luck Ling Bao had, but he came to the Cheng family. The Cheng family are scholars. Listen, they have to take the imperial examination.

When Cheng Zhongqian becomes an official, then Lingbao will be the housekeeper. There will still be girls to serve him, and he will be popular and drink hot food. Isn't it better than suffering in Han Dahu's house?

But I can't stand someone who wants Wu to be unhappy.

Zhang and Wu knew each other before they got married. They had a friendship in the same village. Originally, the person who liked each other in Zhang's family was Han Dahu, but for some reason Wu found out about it and cut it off halfway. Since then, the two have fallen out.

Later, they both married into Beihe Village, but they disliked each other. They were calm on the surface, but secretly they were turbulent.

"Hey, what brought you here?" Mrs. Wu touched the water stains on her clothes, feeling like "you are not welcome in my home."

"Don't I have something good to tell you?" Mrs. Zhang smiled, not angry at all.

It was a joke. Thinking of Wu's wonderful expression after hearing it, it was strange that she could still get angry.

Wu didn't believe that she could think of something good for herself. Her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes. She asked, "What good thing?"

Mrs. Zhang said happily: "You don't know yet, right? Your daughter is going to have a successful career!"

Wu: "What? Xiaojuan or Xiaofang?"

"None of them." Mrs. Zhang became even more happy, as happy as if she had picked up money.

Wu said suspiciously: "Xiaolan? Don't be ridiculous, I'm still busy."

How can Xiaolan, who is so depressed and frustrated, be able to achieve great success?

Madam Zhang pulled Madam Wu back and said, "Girl Lingbao, you haven't said anything yet! Let me tell you, the head of the Cheng family can read and write, and the one who wants to take the imperial examination will become an official in the future.

If Ling Bao calls him daddy, won't he be an official lady in the future? Isn't he going to be a successful person?"

"What did you say?" Wu was a little stunned.

"I said, Ling Bao will become an official girl with her cheap father." Mrs. Zhang sighed as if she sincerely thought about her, "It's a pity that you and Ling Bao have a falling out, otherwise when Ling Bao becomes an official

Miss, a little broth from between your fingers will be enough for your family to chew on."

That damn girl Han Youling is going to become an official lady?

"It's easy for you to say. Do you really think that being an official is so easy? Whether you can pass the exam or not is another matter." Wu spat.

Mrs. Zhang glanced sideways at her and curled her lips into a smile.

"Why can't he pass the exam? I think he is very knowledgeable. Besides, even if he doesn't pass the exam, he can still open a school, and the Buddhist monks will be much richer than us."

Wu's jaw tightened, and she felt so sick that she couldn't help but wonder why that girl's life was so good!

"Okay, let me tell you this, don't you have to be busy? Keep busy, I'll go to other places." Mrs. Zhang patted her arm and said cheerfully.

Mrs. Zhang went out humming a little tune, and laughed happily as she walked outside the door.

"Bah, you rotten-hearted poisonous woman!" Mrs. Wu cursed fiercely, "If you want to see my jokes, you won't urinate to show yourself!"

But she was still annoyed.

Is Han Youling really good at being an official lady? Those members of the Cheng family are indeed quite scholarly, with outstanding temperament.

But who in the world doesn’t know that the imperial examination is very difficult, and Han Youling can be an official if he randomly chooses a family? What a coincidence!

Wu was no longer in the mood to work, so she sat down on the stool, thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked to the end of the village.

No one was here at this time, and the villagers did not dare to disturb Cheng Zhongqian's study. That would be too sinful.

Cheng Zhongqian was in the house, Cheng Yun, Cheng Yi and Ling Bao were all in the room.

Cheng Yi drew circles on the ground out of boredom, hearing the sound of his elder brother teaching Ling Bao to read aloud.

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arrayed..."

Lingbao sat on the stool with her hands behind her back, shaking her head and head, and read along word by word. She had already begun to learn the Thousand-Character Classic.

After reading it for a while, Cheng Yun explained the meaning of the first two sentences to her. Ling Bao still thought it was too little: "More, big brother."

"You can't chew off more than you can chew." Cheng Yun tapped the tip of her nose, "That's all I'll learn today. I'll review the Three-Character Classic again to review the past and learn the new."

"What does it mean to review the past and learn the new?" Ling Bao asked doubtfully, his eyes shining with curiosity.

He is very different from the previous Han Youling who only knew how to work.

Cheng Yun explained it to her, and Ling Bao suddenly realized: "I understand!"

Wu: "???"

She didn't even understand, but Han Youling, a little girl, understood it?

Wu suddenly felt panicked.

In panic, it was inevitable to make some noise.

The fragile branch broke into two pieces with a "click", and the king who was playing with his tail suddenly raised his head: "Meow!"

Cheng Yi was closest to the door, opened it, and looked at it carefully for a while: "Are you the one...who is here?"

Wu was startled and said quickly: "I went to the wrong place, I went to the wrong place!"

After saying that, he trotted all the way as if a dog was chasing him, and disappeared in an instant.

Ling Bao asked curiously: "Second brother, who is it?"

"I don't know, I went the wrong way." Cheng Yi shrugged, picked up the branch and waved it in the air. The sound of breaking through the air sounded particularly majestic.

Ling Bao said oh and continued to memorize his thousand-character essay.

On the other side, Wu, who had fled, returned home and saw Han Jinzi, who was covered in mud and water while playing.

"..." Wu asked in a strange way, "Jin Zi, do you know what 'reviewing the past and learning the new' means?"

Han Jinzi: "I don't know, I want to change into new clothes!"

Why is this happening? With Han Youling gone, shouldn’t it be gold that deserves to be raised?

What a piece of shit luck!

The whole day, Mrs. Wu was so angry that she couldn't eat.

At night, I was so angry that I couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned like pancakes and couldn't help but think wildly. Could it be that Han Youling had sucked away all the luck from Jin Jin?

No, we have fed her well for so many years, but she has not repaid us at all, which is so heartless!

Doesn’t the Cheng family want her? It can’t be in vain!

Wu pushed Han Dahu awake from snoring and said, "Dahu, let's go get Youling back."

Han Dahu didn't even hear what she said clearly, so he responded randomly.

Mrs. Wu closed her eyes with satisfaction, and dreamed that Cheng Zhongqian became an official, and then arranged a job for his family Jin Zi in the county government, wearing a uniform, not to mention looking very impressive.

Even the village chief had to nod and bow when he saw them!

When she woke up, Mrs. Wu was still a little disappointed. She would soon get the money that others paid to her!
