C22 He will Not Help Her

Chi Ziyu waited nervously for Qi Xingyun to come back and ask.

Qi Xingyun directly fought over the red packet. If Mrs. Wang really wanted to come up with some idea to frame him, Qi Xingyun wouldn't be so easily deceived by his mother.

Chi Ziyu was worried about Qi Xingyun.

In the end, it was Mrs. Wang who was closer to him than she was.

She was an outsider, she wasn't even well-established in Qi Family, so she didn't dare to count on anyone who relied on Qi Family.

Qi Xingyun returned.

He calmly sat down at the four corners of the table, casually placing the red packet on the table.

"You're back." Chi Ziyu sat down across from him. "Did Mother tell you anything?"

Qi Xingyun raised his eyes and stared at her.

His eyes were unfathomable.

Chi Ziyu knew that he must have found out that she had been faking her illness, so she didn't feel guilty.

He took the red packet, opened it, and poured four pieces of silver onto the table.

Qi Xingyun's expression remained calm.

"Mother gave me four silver coins as a greeting gift." Chi Ziyu said.

"She told me."

Chi Ziyu was a little surprised that he would answer her, "How much did she tell me?"

Nine taels of silver? Chi Ziyu recalled what Mrs. Wang said to Qi Shuipei.

If Qi Xingyun hadn't tried to buy the red packet and Chi Ziyu told him that she only received 4 taels of silver, he would definitely think that he was too greedy and actually took the other 5 taels of silver for himself.

Maybe Qi Xingyun wouldn't suspect her so directly, but when Mrs. Wang told him to go over, she must have been doing it for Qi Xingyun.

Qi Xingyun pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Chi Ziyu thought that since Qi Xingyun was Mrs. Wang's own son, no matter how disgusting Mrs. Wang's methods were, he would protect her mother and not vent her anger on her behalf.

"You can keep these silver first." Qi Xingyun transferred the money to her, "I can still earn more in the future."

Chi Ziyu had already consciously set up a firewall against Mrs. Wang's things. "Aren't you afraid that I'll bring the money back to my family for subsidies?"

"The money is yours. You can decide for yourself." Qi Xingyun stood up without a care, "I'm going to work."

Mrs. Wang was looking forward to seeing what kind of argument would come out of Ol 'Four's room, but she never succeeded.

Qi Xingyun carried his hoe and went to work in the field.

Chi Ziyu then went out with a bamboo broom and cleaned the small yard in front of the house.

Mrs. Wang stomped her feet in anger. Wasn't Fourth Bro usually so hot-tempered? How could he not know how to teach that woman a lesson when she encountered such a situation?

At the very least, he should have scolded and cried them. Beating them up was also fine. Was Fourth Bro someone who loved to beat people up the most? How did he fail today?

Mrs. Wangqian was anxious for a moment, but then she started to console herself.

Maybe Fourth Bro was holding himself back and didn't act up when he saw that the other party was a new wife.

However, there was already a gap between the two of them. If she stirred up more trouble in the future, the two of them would definitely start a fight!

Thinking this way, Mrs. Wang decided to keep her cool and let the matters of the day go for now.

In any case, her first battle with the wife was a victory.

Chi Ziyu had been quite calm that day.

Eldest Sister-in-Law Chen Xiang brought a basket with her and said that she would take Chi Ziyu to the fields to pick vegetables and recognize her own field.

Chi Ziyu also took the opportunity to ask her about some family matters. Chen Xiang was a good-natured person, so no matter what Chi Ziyu asked, she would always be able to answer patiently.

Chi Ziyu had a good impression of Chen Xiang. Other than her weak personality, she had nothing else to pick at.
