Chapter 75: Huang Family Really Found a Good Daughter-in-law
Huang Bo glared fiercely at “sister-in-law” before running off to help cook with great reluctance.
Huang Long was very sensible and didn’t speak from beginning to end. Seeing his younger brother yield now, he also happily ran off to help.
Xie Mei, being older and more experienced, also wisely kept quiet.
Huang Qi gave a scornful glance at the two “sisters-in-law” before coldly walking back.
Qu Zhen glared at Huang Qi, her teeth almost grinding to dust, but ultimately said nothing and turned to walk out the door.
Xie Mei couldn’t stay any longer, so she followed her fellow sister-in-law out.
“Where are you going?”
Huang Long and Huang Bo quickly went to chase after them, but the two women ignored them.
“If you leave during the old master’s birthday, you will no longer be descendants of my Huang family.”
Huang Kairong shouted loudly, but the two nephews were unmoved.
“Heh heh…”
Huang Kairong wasn’t angry. As long as they were branded as unfilial, it didn’t matter if they listened to him or not.
“Sigh!”
Huang Xinghu also shook his head in disappointment seeing this scene.
The brief farce ended, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious. Huang Kaiyou and his wife no longer dared to mock others from a position of superiority.
Huang Qi had finally avenged his past humiliation. He was feeling smug when his parents showed up, saying they wanted to have a good chat with him.
For Huang Kairong and his wife, now that their daughter-in-law had helped them vent their anger and saved face, it was time to inquire about her background.
Thus, Huang Qi was called into the inner room by his biological parents.
“Girl, what’s your name?”
Huang Kairong asked first, his facial muscles still somewhat stiff from smiling, not having recovered yet.
Huang Qi was stunned for a moment, his heart involuntarily beating faster. He hadn’t really considered this question before, and his father’s question threw him into a panic. Fortunately, he had time to get pen and paper to buffer.
“What should I do? What name should I use? Huang Qi… Huang Qi…”
Huang Qi sluggishly picked up the paper and pen and, with the corner of his eye catching his mother’s confused gaze, felt an immense pressure, making it difficult to breathe. Fortunately, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he gritted his teeth and wrote the characters “Qi Huang”.
“Qi Huang? A good name. With this height among women, she truly stands out, worthy of the character Huang.”
Huang Kairong praised him, rarely using such eloquent words.
“Not to mention women, there are probably few men in Ping’an County who can compare to her.”
Li Fen agreed wholeheartedly.
Huang Qi’s face immediately turned red. Being categorized among women by his own father was too embarrassing.
“Miss, where are you from? What does your family do?”
Huang Kairong eagerly asked again.
Huang Qi’s breathing stagnated again. He thought of that dream, and inexplicably wrote “Prefecture Capital” and “merchant” on the paper.
“I didn’t expect you to be the pampered daughter of a wealthy family from the prefecture capital. It’s truly an injustice for you to marry our Huang Qi, but don’t worry, if he ever dares to bully you, I’ll break his legs.”
Huang Kairong immediately made a grand promise.
“No way, Old Man, you have an adopted daughter-in-law but forgot your son.”
Huang Qi felt a mix of crying and laughter in his heart.
“Miss Qi, what about my son? Didn’t he come back with you?”
Li Fen, hearing her husband mention their son, asked.
Huang Qi pondered for a moment, then perfunctorily wrote on the paper: “Huang Qi is busy and couldn’t get away, so I came back to congratulate grandfather on his behalf.”
“What’s so important that he can’t come back on such an important day?”
Li Fen persisted, her smile gradually stiffening, as this concerned her son.
Huang Qi didn’t expect his mother to be so inquisitive, and he immediately lost his composure, his mind racing. Finally, he came up with a somewhat convincing excuse and wrote: “Huang Qi went with his father to discuss business in another place. Due to delays on the road, he can’t return for now.”
“I see. As a son-in-law, it’s indeed right to learn skills from his father-in-law. This is his good fortune.”
Huang Kairong let out a long sigh of relief.
Li Fen’s expression finally softened upon hearing this, as the reason was quite plausible.
Huang Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He then hastily exited the main hall as if escaping, and by chance saw Wang Bao cutting meat. Suddenly, he remembered Wang Bao’s earlier conversation with his wife outside the gate. So he quickly turned back, wrote the matter on paper, and handed it to his father.
“Wang Bao wants to steal meat?”
Huang Kairong read the words on the paper and then asked doubtfully, “Daughter-in-law, how did you know?”
Huang Qi’s face turned awkward, and he reluctantly wrote: “I accidentally overheard them.”
“This scoundrel, a dog can’t change its habits. I’ve wanted to deal with him for a long time.”
Huang Kairong cursed, then walked out of the main hall and began to secretly monitor Wang Bao.
As expected, Wang Bao soon took action under his wife’s instigation. While cutting meat, he secretly tucked a piece into his clothes, but was caught red-handed.
“Take out the meat!”
Huang Kairong made no polite remarks and directly went to demand it.
“What meat?”
Wang Bao stood by the pile of meat, pretending to be foolish.
“Still dare to play dumb?”
Huang Kairong reached out to search him.
Sensing something was wrong, Wang Bao tightly protected his collar.
The two then wrestled with each other, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.
Huang Kairong became furious, lifted his leg, and kicked Wang Bao hard in the abdomen.
“Ah!”
Wang Bao cried out in pain, clutching his abdomen, tears and snot flowing down his face.
“Ah! Huang Kairong is hitting people! Is there any justice? We’re here to celebrate your father’s birthday, and you’re hitting guests!”
Wang Bao’s wife ran over like a madwoman, tearing at him.
Huang Kairong turned and kicked the frantic woman away, then reached into Wang Bao’s collar and pulled out a piece of lean meat weighing two to three pounds, questioning loudly, “The evidence is here, and you still dare to quibble!”
“Too barbaric!”
Wang Bao and his wife were stunned, and the surrounding people were all frozen in place, thinking that Huang Kairong had gone completely insane today, completely different from his usual self.
“As guests, my Huang family is naturally responsible for providing food and drinks for everyone, but stealing is different. That’s the behavior of a thief, and I, Huang Kairong, will never let it go unpunished.”
Huang Kairong said sternly.
The surroundings became silent, as this was indeed the truth.
“Heh heh, you say nice things, providing us with food and drinks? Huang Kairong, I ask you, how many people can this little bit of food feed? A pig doesn’t reach a hundred pounds, and rice doesn’t even fill half a dou. You’re so poor you’re ringing with bells, yet you’re still pretending to be rich and celebrating a birthday? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”
Wang Bao’s wife recovered and began to bite like a mad dog.
“I, Huang Kairong, am poor, but that’s no reason for your man to be a thief.”
Huang Kairong argued reasonably.
“Why not? It’s precisely because we know we can’t eat enough that we want to take some.”
Wang Bao’s wife argued unreasonably.
The surrounding guests were all silent, and some even nodded in agreement. As villagers who were illiterate, they were easily swayed by their stance.
Huang Kairong’s face immediately turned extremely ugly. He didn’t expect this woman to be so shameless. His man had done something wrong, and she still dared to be so difficult.
Seeing that something was wrong, Huang Qi picked up a pen, wrote a few words, then walked up and handed them to his father.
“Dad, go buy another pig from the villagers. Today, we must make sure everyone eats and drinks well.”
Huang Kairong picked up the paper and read it, then his face showed ecstasy. With the help of this “wealthy daughter-in-law”, these problems could be easily solved.
Without further ado, Huang Qi handed three taels of silver to his father. Even in this era, it was more than enough to buy a pig, as the pigs in the village were not large.
“Wow! As expected of a rich young lady, so generous with her出手.”

“Yes, she hasn’t even entered the house yet and she’s already thinking about her husband’s family. The Huang Kairong family will have good days ahead.”
“Sigh! Truly enviable and jealous! Why can’t my son find such a good daughter-in-law?”
…
The surrounding villagers started discussing.
Wang Bao and his wife’s faces turned exceptionally ugly. They had clearly forgotten that the Huang family had just found a wealthy young lady as their daughter-in-law.
“Alright! I’ll go do it now!”
Huang Kairong said excitedly.
“Wait, we have the pig, but we don’t have firewood to start the fire. We’ve used up all the prepared firewood at home!”
Li Fen quickly reminded him. In this era, there were ghosts everywhere, so the family’s firewood reserves were not much, and they had already done everything they could to prepare for the birthday banquet.
“Buy!”
Huang Qi wrote a large character without hesitation.
“What about the rice?”
“Buy!”
“Flour?”
“Buy!”
“But where can we buy it? The villagers don’t have enough, and the county town is too far.”
“Then give them double the price, and there will always be someone willing to sell.”
…
Huang Qi finished writing in one breath and then handed all the required silver to his father without batting an eye.
The villagers stared, some having never seen so much money in their entire lives.
“Everyone is a guest, and all the food and drinks today are on me.”
Huang Qi wrote another line on the paper and held it up. Having money gave him confidence.
“Good, good, good! The Huang family has truly found a good daughter-in-law!”
The surrounding villagers immediately praised him loudly.
Huang Qi felt extremely satisfied and then wrote a few words on the paper and handed them to Wang Bao and his wife: “But not you. As thieves, go to jail!”
