I insist

Chapter 9: A Harmonious and Joyful Moment

Song Miqiu carried the basket with difficulty back home, only to find Qiu Tianlei fast asleep in the yard.

The sun was shining brightly, and he was enjoying a moment of leisure.

Song Miqiu was furious. She went over, put the basket on the ground, and kicked Qiu Tianlei awake.

"Mother." Qiu Tianlei woke up groggily.

"We went through all this trouble to get out here, and you just stayed home sleeping?" Song Miqiu was furious.

"Mother-in-law, he's been exhausted these past few days," Madam Tian said, trying to smooth things over.

Qiu Tianlei shoved Tian Shi aside: "My mother is disciplining me, what right do you have to interfere? My mother is right to discipline me!"

"How did you treat your wife?" Song Miqiu asked angrily again.

Qiu Tianlei, who had been so aggressive just moments before, shrank back instantly and gave Song Miqiu a fawning smile: "Mother, I was wrong."

"What did you do wrong? Let me tell you, you need to treat your wife well, you know that!" Song Miqiu said indignantly.

If Qiu Tianlei were to drive away such a virtuous, kind, and forbearing wife, wouldn't that be a loss? Moreover, having married such a wife, she would definitely buy a sedan chair to honor her; how could she bear to let her suffer any grievances?

This Qiu Tianlei is truly ungrateful.

Tian Shi gazed at Song Miqiu with watery eyes, her surprise mixed with a hint of joy.

Qiu Tianlei nodded and bowed, "Mother is right. Mother is right."

"This is a one-time exception, or I'll break your legs!" Song Miqiu said fiercely.

She strode back into the house and started browsing Letao. She specifically searched for the price of wild vegetables. Although they weren't anything valuable in real life, they were quite expensive in this system—fifty coins per pound!

They've made a fortune! They've made a fortune!

Song Miqiu walked out of the inner room triumphantly and saw that Tian was washing wild vegetables with a basket.

“We’ll eat a little tonight, and I’ll take the rest to sell tomorrow,” Song Miqiu suddenly said.

"How much can these wild vegetables sell for?" Tian asked, somewhat surprised.

Song Miqiu pursed her lips, not wanting to explain further: "Let's try our luck. We can't finish it all. I'll carry it to the city; maybe some rich kids will want to try it?"

Ms. Tian nodded hesitantly. Fortunately, Song Miqiu was usually very stern, so she did not object. She cleaned all the wild vegetables thoroughly and took some to cook for dinner.

The next morning, Song Miqiu carried a basket on his back and went outside.

In fact, all she had to do was count the quantity and put it on Letao for sale. She didn't even need to pack the wild vegetables; she could just lie there and count the money, thoroughly enjoying herself.

So, Song Miqiu found a clean patch of grass, lay down and took a nap. Her wish to make money in her dreams had finally come true. She calculated that it was almost time to go back.

Before even entering the house, they heard Qiu Tianlei's scolding voice: "What's wrong with you? You're so old and you can't even wash a bowl?"

The words were followed by a muffled thud.

Qiu Tianlei was actually making Yu Huailin wash the dishes!

Song Miqiu rushed into the kitchen and pulled Qiu Tianlei away: "What's wrong with you? You think you're all grown up now? You dare to touch my people?"

Qiu Tianlei was taken aback, and said timidly, "Mother, I bought this with my own money."

"Wasn't this bought to be your father?" Song Miqiu said matter-of-factly. "So this is my person!"

“He doesn’t work…it was a waste of money.” Qiu Tianlei looked around his bare house, trying to persuade him with reason.

Song Miqiu snorted, "You know you spent money? If you ruin it, you'll have to spend money to bury it. Isn't that a loss? We don't lack food at home."
