Chapter 37 – Noisy
Wei Cheng had lunch in the county, then went home and changed back to his normal clothes, then went to the next door to check on the helpers, and then he was on his way to Qinghe Village to pick up his wife.
Wei Liang, the eldest brother of Wei Cheng, was here.
It turned out that he was here to order pastry.
“Second brother, didn’t you go to open the stall today? Could it be that the business is not good, so you didn’t do it.”
“We’re closed today so there is no business to open.” Wei Cheng asked, “Big Brother, is there something you need to do here?”
“It’s like this. Nancheng Jiangzhai wants to order a hundred longevity peach cakes. I will be needing them in three days so I will place an order with you.”
“Okay, thank you brother.”
Wei Cheng didn’t expect that there would be people who wanted to order pastries. One hundred cakes would take half a day, and there were helpers at home who could help.
Wei Liang thought for a while and asked, “Can the price be reduced…”
Before coming here, he discussed things with his family. They all felt that the discount was profitable but that the discount was still too small, so he asked him in order to bargain with the second brother. If there is more discount, they can also make more money.
How could Wei Cheng not know that the money from the discount fell into the pockets of his family members, he pretended to think about it, and then said: “At most, we can save two wen, no less, the cost would take a blow if we do that.”
For two wen each to just run an errand, and for one hundred pieces, there will be a difference of two hundred pennies.
Wei Liang happily agreed, and said that he would come to pick it up in three days, instead of making Wei Cheng deliver them. He was afraid that in the future, if others found out that Wei Cheng made it, they would not ask his house to run errands for the cakes they ordered, and they would not be able to pocket the difference in price.
After dismissing his elder brother, Wei Cheng was finally able to set off for Qinghe Village
Little did he know that his wife was on her way home.
Zhou Yuan came back early because something happened—
*
Zhou Yuan’s three sister-in-laws came back from the field. Knowing that Zhou Yuan was here, they didn’t pay much attention. They wanted to cook the meal for their noon time meal, so they went to the kitchen to cook. They saw a cloth bag in the corner of the kitchen. The three of them were curious about what it was. They opened it and found the bag was full of brown sugar.
There is one large bag and two small ones.
Why was there so much brown sugar at home?
The three of them were overjoyed.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
They asked Mother Zhou and Mother Zhou said that Zhou Yuan brought it. The three of them went back to the kitchen to discuss, they all wanted brown sugar in their hearts, since it was brought by Zhou Yuan, it must be for the family, there is so much of this brown sugar so it would not be bad to take some back to their mother’s house.

The three of them thought that with so much brown sugar, Mother Zhou would definitely agree to share the small portion for them to take back to their natal family.
At this time Zhou Yuan was still at Zhou Xiu’s house, not knowing that the three sister-in-laws in the family were planning to share the small portions of brown sugar.
*
After lunch.
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi walked to the door of the house.
Zhou Yuan asked him to wait for him, “Muzi, Xiao-Qiu, I brought brown sugar for you, wait for me first, I’ll get it at home.” After speaking, he entered the house to get the brown sugar.
When Zhou Yuan entered the house, he saw his three sisters-in-law washing dishes and doing housework in the yard. After saying hello, he entered the kitchen and left with two bags of sugar in a short while.
Zhou Yuan’s three sister-in-laws saw what he was carrying in his hand- the cloth bag that was the cloth bag they saw in the kitchen containing brown sugar.
The three of them stopped washing the dishes and doing their housework. They hurried into the kitchen and saw that two bags of brown sugar were missing.
What is Zhou Yuan going to do by taking things away?
What does he mean by taking things back and taking them away now?
Outside the door.
Zhou Yuan handed the brown sugar to Zhou Muzi and Zhou Qiu, each one with a bag.
The two opened it and saw that it was really brown sugar. Zhou Qiu asked, “Yuan Yuan, you gave us brown sugar but what about your family?”
Zhou Yuan said, “I still have a few catties at home. This is specially brought for you so you can’t refuse it.”
Zhou Muzi asked him, “But, Yuan Yuan, why did you bring so much brown sugar, Wei Cheng doesn’t care about this?” There were several people and Yuan Yuan brought a lot of brown sugar, which would cost a lot, so he was worried about Yuan Yuan. If so much brown sugar were given away, Wei Cheng would have some objections.
Zhou Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t worry, it was my husband who asked me to bring it to you, otherwise I wouldn’t dare bring some back.”
The two were still hesitant at first, but after hearing of Wei Cheng’s agreement, they raised their playful eyes, feeling in their hearts that Wei Cheng was so kind to his husband.
Thinking of something, Zhou Muzi hesitated and said, “I still don’t want to take it, you take it back or you’ll just be giving it to my mother-in-law.” The good things at home are not his to eat and if they were secretly hidden, those people will definitely make a fuss if they are found.
Regarding the mother-in-law of Zhou Muzi’s family, Zhou Yuan and Zhou Qiu have also seen her before. It was Zhou Qiu who thought of a way, and said with a smile, “Muzi, you can take it back to your natal family and feed it to your family.”
Zhou Muzi also replied, “Yeah, why didn’t I think of that?”
Taking them back to her mother’s house will not make it be given away for others, and his younger brother and parents can also make up for their health. “It is good that Xiao-Qiu has a way.”
The two were about to go back when a delicate female voice came from behind.
“Cousin Qiu, what are you holding in your hand, let me see.”
Zhou Qiu trembled when he heard the voice, he turned his head to look at the person who came, and wondered why she came here?
Zhou Qiu was stunned, and the brown sugar in his hand was taken away directly.
Zhou Yuan saw the girl’s appearance, isn’t this the daughter of the mother and daughter who came with her in the bullock cart this morning?
It turns out that she is Zhou Qiu’s cousin!
Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi looked at each other- Zhou Qiu looked displeased and wished that the other had never shown up. It should be He Meitian, the cousin who made Zhou Qiu very angry anytime someone mentioned her.
This is the first time she saw her, she looked sweet and spoke delicately. Who knew that there was a snake hidden beneath all that.
“Hey, it’s brown sugar. Did you know that I came here? Cousin Qiu has sent me and my mother a gift, thank you Cousin Qiu.”
Zhou Qiu didn’t express her opinion as it seemed the other person was just talking to herself, and in one sentence, she wanted to take things for herself.
She’s really that thick-skinned.
Zhou Qiu snatched it back and reprimanded, “It’s not yours so don’t take it randomly.” How could she give this someone brown sugar- she wouldn’t give it to her and would rather that she threw it away.
Every time she comes here, when she sees something good in her house, she’ll take it home with a few words, acting like the bandit she was.
She hates this aunt’s daughter very much, oh, and her aunt, every time she comes, she always brings a basket of vegetables and fruits, and when she leaves, she carries a sack of rice on her back.
The brown sugar was given to her by Yuan Yuan, and even if she wanted it, she wouldn’t give her even a sprinkle of it.
He Meitian reached out and wanted to take it back, but was dodged by Zhou Qiu. Seeing that she couldn’t get it, He Meitian pouted very dissatisfied, and her voice was still delicate, “Cousin Qiu, why are you like this? Isn’t it just brown sugar? Why are you so stingy? I’m your cousin, if you don’t let me have it then I would just ask my aunt later, she must not be as stingy as you.”
Zhou Qiu replied back, “This brown sugar is not mine, it is my friend’s. I held it in my hand just now and was just returning it. You just snatched it away. If you don’t ask first then you are a thief.”
He Meitian said, “What is your friend’s? It’s obviously yours. I saw him give it to you just now.” The finger pointed at Zhou Yuan, but the person didn’t look at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Qiu snorted, and stuffed the brown sugar back to Zhou Yuan, “Yuan Yuan this is yours, I don’t want it now.”
“You, how can you not want it? This is brown sugar. Give it to me since I want it.” He Meitian stretched out her finger and pointed at Zhou Qiu, then turned to face Zhou Yuan. Pointing to Zhou Yuan, “Aren’t you that rude ger this morning, the brown sugar is yours?” She asked in a questioning tone.
He Meitian frowned, and stretched out her hand, “Give the brown sugar to my cousin, she doesn’t want it, I want it so you just give it to me.”
Zhou Qiu approached Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Muzi also leaned in. The three of them put their heads together, and Zhou Qiu asked softly, “Yuan Yuan, did you see her this morning?”
Zhou Yuan said in a low voice, “Well, I came here in the ox cart of Uncle Li’s and I met her and her mother, and we came here together in the ox cart.”
Zhou Qiu asked her, “Did they make things difficult for you?” Sure enough, the person who knew the mother and daughter best understood what he endured.
Zhou Yuan replied, “No, it’s just that the person sitting next to me tried to occupy more space.”
Zhou Qiu pouted- she knew that the mother and daughter were arrogant everywhere they went.
He Meitian asked angrily, “What are you mumbling about? Are you talking ill of me?”
Zhou Qiu ignored He Meitian, and directly said to Zhou Yuan and Zhou Muzi, “I’m going home first, and if I don’t go back, she will definitely entangle with me to the end.” She signaled with his eyes that the brown sugar was to be put in Zhou Yuan’s house first, and the three of them were bosom friends so they had some tacit understanding.
Zhou Yuan went back home with the brown sugar, Zhou Muzi went back to her mother’s house, He Meitian watched the brown sugar being taken away, and still wanted to grab it, so Zhou Qiu stopped her, and said a few words. He Meitian stomped her feet and left angrily.
Zhou Qiu followed behind to go home.
Zhou Yuan stepped into the yard with his front foot, but his sister-in-law questioned him after he didn’t enter the door.
“Yuan-ger, what are you doing with the brown sugar at home?”
Zhou Yuan was stunned by the questioning. He looked at the unhesitating expressions of the three sister-in-laws in front of him, wondering how he had offended them.
“Brown sugar?”
Zhou Yuan looked at the bag of brown sugar that belonged to Zhou Qiu in his hand, his expression was very puzzled, and he said in a daze, “I gave the brown sugar to Muzi and Xiao Qiu.”
Zhou Yuan’s second sister-in-law asked, “Why is that bag in your hand?”
“Xiao-Qiu put this bag on me first, and she will come to get it when she has time.” Xiao-Qiu’s aunt came to her house, and she would leave only the next day.
When the three sister-in-laws heard this, their faces changed.
The brown sugar was distributed to outsiders and none of them got any.
Someone show He Meitian a lesson!! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ
😡Why are there always nasty, greedy relatives who expect to have everything that they don’t deserve to have❗️😡🤬🤯
They are always crawling out like the cockroaches 🪳 they are to take, take, take. 😒
What a shameless idiot! (°ㅂ° ╬)
Thank You for the new chapter (๑╹ڡ╹)╭ ～ ♡
My blob, why did this family married this 3 horrible women? I wish to stop seeing them.
Thanks for the chapter!
Thanks for the chapter!
I’m laughing hard at the stupid sister-in-laws! They sent away FOUR CATTIES of brown sugar to their families! That’s not ‘a little bit.’ They didn’t even confirm how much sugar should be taken!
