The scene was awkward for a while.
“Uncle Zhong, leave first!” Mrs. Zou frowned, as if she had changed her mind when she ordered the servants. She didn’t have a happy face when she first saw Wang Shu.
Mrs. Wang was very angry, and poured beans into a bamboo tube, she shouted, “Is this the home that my sisters-in-law said can’t be opened? I thought, even if my parents left so much family business, why did my brothers, sisters-in-laws suddenly fail to make money and even lose it? If I didn’t come here, would you dare to lie to me and take me as a fool?! You want to tell me to go to Yuanshan County to apply for a female worker position. I just went to the town to ask clearly. The female workers are going to go to sea on the boat, which is so dangerous. The work was suggested by you, you were trying to kill me!”
All the daughters-in-law did not know what happened. When the eldest came in, Mrs. Wang was no longer at home.
Especially in the early morning when Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zou disguised themselves to deceive Mrs. Wang. It was even more disgraceful, and they didn’t mention a word to their daughters-in-law.
Mrs. Zou didn’t expect Mrs. Wang to come so soon, and she didn’t expect that it was so coincidental that Wang Zhong, the madman, ran out and let people in.
But in front of all the daughters-in-law, she naturally couldn’t show her timidity, and immediately retorted, “Sister-in-law is really wrong! My sister-in-law and I went to look for you early in the morning, and our concern was obvious! Since it was the reunion of relatives and reminisce, are people like us not allowed to have some unspeakable suffering? We told you what we had in our hearts, why do you think we deceived you? Besides, why didn’t we let you come home? At that time, it was your daughter-in-law who suddenly felt uncomfortable. We just wanted to let her rest. In the end, the ocean-going shipping line is a serious merchant, and the recruitment procedures are complete and the treatment is generous. I thought you were a strong person. I kindly recommend you to go, how can it be me who is trying to kill you?”
Ms. Wang clenched her fists in anger, “Second sister-in-law is so eloquent, I won’t say anything to you about that. But you kept saying this morning that your family was having a hard time, that business was in short supply, and that your kids went to school. You even gave me such a bracelet, saying that there is nothing better at home.”
As she spoke, she took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and placed it in front of Mrs. Zou.
“It’s my fault, it’s because I only thought that this is my dowry and my most precious thing.” Mrs. Zou pretended to wipe away tears, “It turns out that the little sister thinks that whatever is valuable is better.”
Mrs. Zou was worthy of being the oldest daughter of a scholar’s family. She spoke in a well-mannered way. She didn’t hesitate to say a few words, and she overthrew her. It was like taking advantage of it.
Seeing her wipe away her tears, Mrs. Zou’s daughter-in-law hurried forward to persuade her.
Because Mrs. Wang was also their elder, it was not easy to talk, one said, “They were also excited when they met you, so they poured out their heart, it is not what aunt said about pretending to be poor.”
Another said, “My mother-in-law took out her dowry. She is really kind, but it’s a pity that my aunt didn’t understand.”
Mrs. Wang knew from a long time ago that her second sister-in-law was eloquent and had read for a while.
But at that time, she was not married yet, her parents were both around, and Mrs. Zou kept making funny jokes to make her happy.
The world had changed and the words that the same mouth said were completely different!
After some reversal, Mrs. Wang’s angry words were almost inconvenient.
If they were in the village, Mrs. Wang would be able to scold, and the woman would be no match to her.
It was just that she was at her parents’ house, so some juniors were watching.
Seeing that Mrs Wang couldn’t get angry anymore, Gu Yin stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and said, “Mom, don’t be angry. This is a misunderstanding. I don’t think the two aunts are like that.”
Mrs. Wang didn’t expect her to speak in favour of the other party as soon as she opened her mouth.
She glared at Gu Yin and was about to tell her to stop interfering with the adults, but then Gu Yin squeezed her hand under her sleeve.
Not long ago, the two cooperated to subdue the thief in a tacit understanding, so Mrs. Wang was ready to come over and Gu Yin was prepared.
But she knew that although her daughter-in-law had become calm and smart after being ill, but she had been stupid since she was a child, didn’t know to say anything, let alone scold people.
Could she speak against Mrs. Zou who came from a scholar family? And her two daughters-in-law didn’t seem to be easy to get along with.
Mrs. Zou had been persuaded by her daughter-in-law to stop crying, and when she heard Gu Yin’s words, the corners of her mouth brought a mocking smile.
Check mate! A countryman was a countryman, this little daughter-in-law was fooled by her words!
A pair of idiots!
Mrs. Zou smiled kindly, “I have long said that you are a smart and transparent child at first sight. Please, persuade your mother.”
Gu Yin also smiled back, and then said calmly, “I heard what the two aunts said earlier, and it really seemed like the family situation was difficult. Although you said the family can’t open the pot( don’t have enough to eat), but with the appearances of the two aunts, I don’t blame my mother for misunderstanding.”
As soon as she said that, the rest of the Wang family noticed that the two old ladies were indeed underdressed.
