Chapter 184 Praising His Wife Everywhere
The Chu family's life was originally as calm as a still lake, without any ripples. But ever since Mu Xiaowan successfully tinkered with a generator, the lake has been rippled with waves.
The Chu family had a major problem solved with the generator. In the past, a power outage would plunge the house into complete silence, making it impossible to do anything. Now, even at night, the house is brightly lit, and the appliances run smoothly.
Jiang Yinglan was overjoyed and praised her to everyone she met: "My Xiaowan is such a smart and capable daughter-in-law. Since we got the generator she made, our family no longer worries about running out of electricity!"
Soon, neighbors and relatives all knew that Mu Xiaowan could make generators.
At first, people just politely agreed, but as Jiang Yinglan mentioned it more and more frequently, everyone's attitude gradually changed.
Many people have raised questions.
In everyone's stereotype, Mu Xiaowan was just a girl from the countryside, and there were even rumors that she was illiterate. In their view, how could a country girl possibly build such a complex generator?
"Jiang Yinglan is definitely lying to save face!" The neighbors began to gossip, and all sorts of unpleasant things were said.
One day, Jiang Yinglan was passing by her neighbor's house when she overheard a conversation between several women.
"How could Jiang Yinglan's wife, a country bumpkin, possibly make a generator? She's just trying to save face and bragging!"
Another person chimed in, "Exactly! Someone who can't even read a single word could have this ability? I don't believe it!"
Jiang Yinglan's face instantly turned ashen. She had never been one to hold grudges, but hearing these slanderous words against her and her daughter-in-law was simply unbearable.
Jiang Yinglan took a deep breath, strode into the courtyard, and faced the gossiping women.
"What are you all talking about here?" Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. The crowd was startled by this sudden question and were momentarily at a loss for words.
"I'm telling you, it's absolutely true that my Xiaowan can make generators!" Jiang Yinglan straightened her back, her eyes resolute.
She continued, "You think Xiao Wan is just an ordinary country girl? You're wrong! She's been taken in as an apprentice by the renowned Professor Lin of the research institute! She even attends university classes regularly! The fact that she was able to build a generator in such a short time only proves that she's exceptionally intelligent and truly capable!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked surprised and began to whisper among themselves.
Jiang Yinglan didn't stop there; she became more and more agitated as she spoke: "Moreover, Xiaowan is not only capable, but also exceptionally filial. She knows we're getting old and was worried that power outages would cause us inconvenience, so she worked day and night researching this generator. She's always thinking of us; what right do you have to speak ill of her behind her back?" The women blushed and lowered their heads, no longer daring to look Jiang Yinglan in the eye.
However, one stubborn woman muttered under her breath, "Even if what you're saying is true, how could a country girl be so easily accepted as a professor's student and attend university lectures? Who would believe that?"
Jiang Yinglan sneered: "Believe it or not, you can go to the university and ask around to see if what I said is true."
These words silenced everyone present. Jiang Yinglan looked at them and said earnestly, "We're all neighbors, we see each other all the time. Don't judge people by their appearance or make up stories about others anymore. Gold always shines. I know my wife better than anyone. You all know where her shop is. If you need anything, feel free to patronize my wife's shop." After saying this, Jiang Yinglan turned and left, leaving the group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Everyone thought the Chu family had married a worthless woman, but they never expected to have struck gold."
Since then, although some people still have doubts, the unpleasant comments have gradually decreased.
Mu Xiaowan was deeply moved when she learned that her mother-in-law had stood up for her.
This mother-in-law is really wonderful.
Mu Xiaowan not only got one for her family, but also for her shop.
The store gets one not just for convenience, but also to make money through customization.
That day, Mu Xiaowan was working on the cameras the hotel would need in the future when she heard Liu Caiwei calling her.
"Sis, someone's looking for you!"
"Comrade, you can't go up!" Liu Caiwei blocked the stairwell. She seemed determined to protect Mu Xiaowan to the death.
"Who do you think you are? I'm here to see my sister. What right do you, a hired hand, have to stop me?" A sharp, sarcastic voice could be heard upstairs.
“I said you can’t go up, and that means you can’t go up.” Liu Caiwei wasn’t easily intimidated.
"What if I insist on going up today?" Mu Xiao'e thought to herself, how dare a lowly sales clerk like her tell her what to do.
"Then don't blame me for being impolite." Liu Caiwei was also angry. How could someone be so unreasonable?
“This is my sister’s shop. Mu Xiaowan is my own sister, so what’s hers is mine. I’m your boss now, so let’s see how you treat me.”
"What will she do? Do you want to try? She's the boss in this shop. If you force your way in, calling the police wouldn't be unreasonable. How long has it been? You actually come here to act tough, you have no sense of responsibility at all." Mu Xiaowan looked down at Mu Xiao'e.
It's been half a year since I last saw Mu Xiao'e, and she's changed so much. She's like a completely different person from head to toe.
She had a perm, wore a floral dress, a string of pearls around her neck, carried a handbag, and paired it with high-heeled shoes. She looked like she had just returned from the fashion capital.
As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and Mu Xiao'e looks quite charming in this outfit.
Has she snagged a rich husband? Given her lazy, gluttonous, and cunning nature, she definitely didn't earn the money herself.
When Mu Xiao'e saw Mu Xiaowan, she immediately smiled and said, "Sister, it's been so long since we last met. If I didn't come to see you, would you have forgotten about your little sister?"
As Mu Xiaowan went downstairs, she thought to herself, Mu Xiao'e really guessed right; she really had forgotten that she had such a younger sister.
"You're not working at the restaurant anymore, where am I supposed to find you?" Mu Xiaowan said this entirely based on guesswork. If Mu Xiao'e were doing badly, she wouldn't be wearing this outfit; she would probably have come looking for her long ago. How could she possibly forget her?
"Sis, you came to see me? The restaurant owner is really something. I told him to give me the phone number I left if anyone came looking for me. How could he forget about that?"
Mu Xiaowan wanted to say that she didn't want any phone at all.
"Get to the point, what did you come to see me for?"
"Sis, do you think this outfit looks good on me? How much do you think it's worth?"
Liu Caiwei stood aside and watched, thinking to herself that this woman was definitely not Xiao Wan's biological sister; she didn't resemble her at all.
"What are you looking at? You couldn't earn this outfit even if you worked for several lifetimes." Seeing that Mu Xiaowan ignored her, Mu Xiao'e felt embarrassed and turned to Liu Caiwei, who was standing to the side.
