Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 2482: Chapter 2482: Status Will Plummet

”Good, good.”

The old woman responded with two ”goods” in quick succession.

Auntie Mei, who had just returned from the mountain with a bounty of wild berries to offer to her mother-in-law, overheard the last bit of the conversation between the grandmother and grandson. She couldn’t help but feel unsettled.

What does it mean she’s the strongest?

So what if she’s the strongest? Does that mean she is destined to do all the work, to do everything?

”They’re all useless ingrates, I won’t serve them anymore!”

She muttered under her breath outside the courtyard gate. Such people don’t deserve to eat the wild berries she picked. She would eat them with her child and not leave them a single one.

”Mom, Grandmother is asking you to work, are you going?”

Auntie Mei’s son timidly raised his head, looking at his mother.

Sometimes he really couldn’t understand. Clearly, his mother had him as a son, so why did she still have to cozy up to Cousin Que?

Is it because Cousin Que is a scholar and can bring honor to their family? If that’s the case, he could do it too. When Cousin Que was studying, he listened quietly as well, and he could recite the books Cousin Que could recite.

Moreover, he had studied for two years in the village school, and he could write the words he needed to know.

However, the first time the teacher praised him in front of Grandmother, he was glared at harshly by her and teased privately by Cousin Que a few times.

After that, he didn’t dare to excel anymore, just aiming to understand a bit.

But if this could earn his mother’s attention, he could study. It’s not that he couldn’t; it’s just that studying would cause his status in the family to plummet, and he was too scared.

”Why should I go? I’m not doing it, let whoever wants to do it, do it!” Auntie Mei glared at her son too.

Of course she knew what her son meant by that. It was like saying she was trying to curry favor with people who didn’t appreciate it, which, admittedly, she had done before.

But now, things were different; Qian Jiyun had already pointed out that they were targeting An Que, which meant An Que’s scholarly status would be challenged soon.

So why should she still be nice to An Que? She wasn’t a fool.

”Come, let’s find a spot to eat wild berries, just the two of us, and no one else gets any!” Saying so, she took her son’s hand and left, completely ignoring the old woman waiting in the courtyard for her to come back and prepare lunch.

...

On the other side, at An Clan Village’s fields, the Old Patriarch came rushing over. He immediately saw Daya’s Father weeding in the wheat fields and, without waiting for anyone to call him, walked over.

”Dad, why are you at the field? I told you to rest at home.”

The Patriarch’s son, seeing his father come over at such a time, quickly put down his hoe and rushed over.

”Mind your own business, don’t worry about me.”

The Old Patriarch glanced at his son, then continued to focus on Daya’s Father.

”Daya’s Father, stop your work for a moment. Come over, I have something to ask you.” He waved to Daya’s Father, urging him to come over quickly.

This matter concerning the child was troubling him greatly; he needed to confirm it with Daya’s Father.

If Daya’s Father claimed there was no issue, he would certainly have a good talk with Big Sister, who was spreading unguarded rumors, to teach her the lesson that disaster emanates from careless talk.

”Oh, okay.”
