Chapter 18 Lying
Author: cool beauty
Wu Julan is also very frugal at ordinary times.
No, most people at this time are very frugal.
But she thought that her eldest daughter had just come to Zhao's house, so she couldn't be too shabby for dinner, otherwise what would happen if her eldest daughter got angry?
So she went to find someone to exchange for fish and shrimp.
As mentioned before, although Zhaocun is a bit remote, they have a reservoir and a river, which is indispensable for fish and shrimp.
When people in the village want to eat some fish and shrimp, they will put up a few cages. No matter how small the harvest is, they can still get together for a plate.
There are also smart people who take advantage of the situation to catch more fish and shrimps and send them to Houzhai Town to sell them in the morning. Anyway, it is a business without capital, so they can make some money.
So she was going to try her luck and buy some fish and shrimp to add to her meal.
It was also her good luck. A Biao didn't receive many fish and shrimps this morning, so he was too lazy to send them to the town to sell them. Now they are raising them in a big tank.
She ordered more than a dozen palm-sized croakers, which had delicate flesh and were cheap. She also ordered some small shrimps and gave them a dollar.
Wu Julan had just returned home and started repairing fish and shrimps when she saw her mother-in-law coming angrily.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her, she sneered: "Oh, why are you so generous when your daughter comes? Do you want to kill the rooster too?"
Before she could speak, he pointed at her nose and scolded: "You are an old hen that doesn't lay eggs, but you still have the nerve to record your daughter in my son's household registration book. You are treating him as someone who has been taken advantage of. You have no conscience."
!”
When Wu Julan heard her mother-in-law nagging and cursing, she felt angry and anxious.
This must be because his man didn't coax his mother well, so he let her come to her door and scold her.
Speaking of which, Wu Julan often felt that she was sorry for Zhao Youqiang and could not give him a son.
Unfortunately, when Yanyan was born, her feet came out first. She didn't go to the hospital to give birth at that time. She just hired a midwife, which almost killed her.
She finally saved her life, but the doctor said that she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future.
And Zhao Youqiang also felt sorry for her. It happened that her sister-in-law was the newly appointed women's director. In their remote place, there were all women who were unwilling to get sterilized after giving birth to children.
Her body was not suitable for sterilization, so she ended up getting one.
She knew that she only had these three daughters in her life, and she felt guilty for her eldest daughter. In the past, she had always tolerated her mother-in-law's scolding and disdain, but now she couldn't help but talk back: "My man is willing to be taken advantage of!"
In fact, she wanted to say more, we have separated and you have nothing to do with it.
Or maybe you have the ability to divorce your son from me.
It's a pity that she has been a lowly person in front of her mother-in-law for so many years, and now she can't even curse her if she wants to.
Besides, Wu Julan was also worried that her eldest daughter would get into trouble with her mother-in-law when she came back, and she just wanted to piss her off as soon as possible.
"You, you, you..." Mrs. Zhao was not satisfied with her three daughters-in-law. The conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were like drizzle, and they always happened every once in a while.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law dared to scold her because they had a son and were close to her parents' family.
This is the only daughter-in-law who has no contact with her brothers since her parents passed away. In addition, she has not given birth to a son, so she is as silent as a quail when she scolds her.
I didn't expect that now there is an extra troublemaker who dares to talk back to me.
Mrs. Zhao blushed angrily and slapped her thigh: "Get out of here..."
Fortunately, their place was remote, and the family nearby was just cracking melon seeds by the door to listen to the show, and didn't have the nerve to come over to watch the fun.
The main reason is that there is no electricity in the village, and there is no television, so conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very popular.
"Grandma!" After Zhao Youqiang went to talk to his grandma before, he went to a close friend's house to 'borrow' some bacon or something, hoping to add some good dishes.
Who would have thought that his own mother would come to bully his wife.
But he couldn't side with his wife and ignore his biological mother. He frowned and pulled her out of the door, whispering: "Why are you scolding Julan again? Didn't I tell you that Xiao Hong is already eighteen years old? Wait
You're going to get married in two years, and you don't have to let me support you all the time?"
Mrs. Zhao was convinced by her son's statement before, but the second daughter-in-law woke her up. With her son's caring temperament for Wu Julan, she was afraid that there would be a dowry.
Furthermore, at such an old age, he has become a white-eyed wolf that has not been raised well enough.
Mrs. Zhao came back to her senses and thought about it. She felt that her youngest son had really suffered a big loss, so she regretted it.
"Bah," Mrs. Zhao saw her son's useless look, and felt that her good intentions were being treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, and her eyes turned red: "I didn't want you to marry a second wife at the beginning, but now you have become a destitute, and now they still want to
Treat you as the enemy!"
By coincidence, Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang came back and heard what Mrs. Zhao said.
In this regard, Xiao Hong just wanted to praise: What a cultured old woman, she can curse people with such rhymes.
In Xiao Fang's worried eyes, she stepped forward and sweetly shouted: "Grandma Zhao, uncle, we are back."
Even Mrs. Zhao felt a little blushing when she cursed someone behind her back.
She glanced at Xiao Hong and saw that she was wearing a white shirt, black pants and black shoes. The outfit was inconspicuous, but it fit her well and looked very good.
The most important thing is that Xiao Hong has fair skin and a round face with a little baby fat, which is the most popular style among old ladies in the countryside, and she looks lucky.
If Xiao Hong started crying, Mrs. Zhao could still accuse her of talking back to her, but the little girl greeted her with a smile, and she didn't know how to treat her at that moment.
Zhao Youqiang was extremely depressed. He only regretted that he was carrying the trail and didn't see them coming back. He only hoped that they didn't hear his words.
He rubbed his hands and said with a flattering smile: "You guys go in and have a rest first!"
Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "Looking at your virtue, you just want to sacrifice them, right?"
Then he pulled a face and snorted coldly at Xiao Hong: "Your mother has remarried and is now a member of our Zhao family. We are not happy to support you."
Xiao Hong had long thought that she would run into trouble with Grandma Zhao, but she didn't expect it to come so soon. She was still a little panicked, but she knew that if she wanted to stay, she had to deal with her.
She took two steps forward and said with a cute face: "Grandma Zhao, in fact, my father let me live with my mother because my stepmother and I hated each other. My father also felt very sorry for me, and we agreed to each
Give me thirty yuan a month for living expenses, and I will not be a burden to them if I follow my mother now."
She understood that Grandma Zhao did not want to stay by herself. Ultimately, it was because she was poor and was afraid that she would be a burden to her son.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath and looked at her suspiciously: "Are you fooling me?"
"How dare I lie in front of you?" Xiao Hong smiled at her: "My dad gave me four hundred yuan? I'll get it and show it to you!"
