Guo Jinyi finished her work quickly, it wasn't a lot just a bit of handling here and there and her work was done
Just awaiting Madam Zhou's skilled hands to make a delicious meal
"Let's go check out the house sister sun" Guo Jinyi called out with a wide smile
She was equally excited to check out the house too as the old Matriarch had forbidden anyone from going close to the house
They could only see it from afar
And though she was envious, it wasn't to the point of wanting the house to herself unlike the second branch a bunch of greedy fools
Their household alongside the fourth house had many men
They could easily build a two story house rather than eye the asset of the twenty five year old fifth son!
Sun hwa unaware of Guo Jiny's thoughts secured the keys and followed closely behind Guo Jinyi who led the way out of the courtyard shutting the door behind her
"Once you move out, the second and fourth house would fight over this one small room of yours" Guo Jinyi clicked her tongue already picturing the chaos that would unfold in the coming days
"Sister sun you shouldn't be fooled by their antics
Even if they come begging, you shouldn't agree, they the second and fourth take us all as fools
Even with the old Matriarch handling the household all this years they've had their own schemes!
Look how fat and plump the children of their household is! Compared to we the first and third household
Madam Li sure has a tough life" Guo Jinyi couldn't help talking along the way
Sun hwa's brows furrowed in thought
Did she look like someone who would inconvenience herself just to please others?
"Third wife Guo, are you heading to the fifth son's house?" An Wiliang asked eyeing sun hwa's somewhat fair skin compared to them village women who were dark skinned
Even sun hwa's sunken eyes looked beautiful and expressive. That face with a bit of nourishment would turn into a beauty
She couldn't help clicking her tongue in disdain
"When has the affairs of the Wang family been your concern Wiliang, or are you trying to take advantage of us?" Guo Jinyi snorted
Her impression of An wiliang was nothing good, snatching a good job from her own bestfriend Jiang Jiyan through deceit
"Jiyan gave the job to me willing, I didn't force her!" An Wiliang retorted with spittle flying everywhere once she opened her mouth, producing a foul stench that made sun hwa scrunch up her nose
"What are you holding your nose for you vixen!" An Wiliang pointed in anger
"Has no one told you how much your breath stinks?" Sun hwa raised a brow in inquiry
Seeing An Wiliang' face alternate from red to white
Gave her a sense of satisfaction, finding the trip worth it
"Your whole family stinks you fatherless vixen! All you've known all your life is climbing into the beds of various men!
See if I won't tear that vicious mouth of yours apart you useless thing
The old hag from the Wang family should have drowned you in the cess pit
Carrying a bastard and free loading off the Wang family
I An Wiliang would teach you a lesson on behalf of the fifth son!" An Wiliang declared as she rolled up her fist and rushed towards sun hwa to give the latter a good beating
"Whose family matriarch are you calling an old hag!
If you don't give our Wang family an explanation today An Wiliang
I Guo Jinyi won't let this matter go!
Slandering the fifth wife see if I don't drag your useless self to the police station!"Guo Jinyi grabbed An Wiliang's hair before she could reach sun hwa and slapped An Wiliang so much that her face swelled significantly
An Wiliang's face swelled attracting the villagers who were returning from the fields
"Third wife Guo" the women hastily intervened to separate Guo Jinyi from An Wiliang
Sun hwa the bystander found a spot to sit under a shaded tree
Watching everything unfold in front of her with interest
She had to say Guo Jinyi was indeed a formidable character
"This An family girl slandered my Wang family! Has no respect for elders
Calling the old Matriach an old hag!
Our fifth son's wife has just been confirmed with a joy pulse! Our fifth household heir
Yet she slanders the fifth wife as a promiscuous woman
I Guo Jinyi seeks justice else I'll drag her to the police station
Let the police decide her fate"
At Guo Jinyi's words the villagers all hesitated, a woman's reputation was highly regarded and An Wiliang slandering the fifth wife was already a grave sin
Insulting the old hag was another and the mention of the police brought a sense of dread
They common folks feared nothing under heaven
But the mere mention of the police brought a sense of dread
"Guo Jinyi, slandering me in broad day light! She attacked me!" An Wiliang shouted loudly though she dared not get close to Guo Jinyi in fear of the latter beating her up again
"Say that again Wiliang and see how I drag you through the mud to the police station!" Guo Jinyi's threat worked as An Wiliang promptly shut her mouth however her eyes glared viciously at Guo Jinyi
Wishing she could flare Guo Jinyi Alive
How dare the bitch hit her
It was all that Jiang Jiyan's fault
She would surely settle scores later
"An Wiliang come to the women's director's office" Dong hua the women's director spoke from the crowd
It appeared she was also accompanying her family from the field
An Wiliang's face paled instantly but before she could say more she was pulled away by the women under Dong hua
"We'll surely handle this matter fairly third wife Guo, no rash mentions of the police
The An family would surely give the fifth wife and old matriarch good explanation and apology" Dong hua assured Guo Jinyi who relented
As the women's director was known for her fairness and An Wiliang could forget about getting away unscathed
Dong hua's gaze then drifted to sun hwa who was currently munching on melon seeds with a few village women under the tree
She didn't seem bothered by the matter
With a sigh Dong hua said a few words and continued on her way while Guo Jinyi pulled sun hwa forward
"It's good you found a spot to sit, with how skinny you look it would be terrible if An Wiliang's hands had hit you
Madam Dong is fair, An Wiliang wouldn't get away unscathed
She'd be reprimanded by her family and her mother-in-law wouldn't let her off either" Guo Jinyi smiled in satisfaction
"The fifth's house isn't far" Guo Jinyi added supporting sun hwa along the way
It took another ten minutes to arrive the house, which was fenced round with mud bricks
Sun hwa unlocked the small gate made from scrap metals with ease revealing a small yard
The house wasn't much just three rooms, a kitchen and the lactrine with a fire wood shed with already chopped firewood stored properly
Rain surely couldn't touch the fire woods piled high like a small mountain
"The old matriarch does favor the fifth son a lot not even allowing anyone come pick the fifth son's firewood" Guo Jinyi chuckled
Though she didn't dare to touch anything she couldn't help looking around at the house which resembled an adobe house but wasn't exactly an adobe house
The walls were made of blue bricks amongst the few blue brick homes in Qingshan village, the roof was tiled as for the floor of the inner house it wasn't the usual earthen floor she had seen so far
But cemented concrete floor
The house was quite okay and she wouldn't mind moving in quickly
"It's estimated this three room house cost over 400 yuan" Guo Jinyi sighed
If her Jinlong had a house even if made of thatched roof and mud bricks
She wouldn't mind
She had to start discussing it with him and hinting him to build or rent a house soon so they could also move out
