"Mother, a few days ago, my wife saw that Mu Er's clothes were terrible, and thought, my Ye family is considered a family with good reputation, so we shouldn't let outsiders talk about this. She then rummaged through the closet and found a few pieces of clothing that she hadn't worn for a long time, and hastily changed them for the night. It's all because my wife was not considerate. Please punish her. "
Li Zhiqing saw Madame Li glance at her unhappily, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly stood up, lowered her hands, and revealed a gentle smile.
A deep and profound look flashed through Qi Mu's eyes.
Li Zhiqing's words were very good without a single drop of water missing. Not only did she reveal her intentions as an aunt and daughter-in-law, she also pointed out that she wore the clothes without permission, hinting that she would not do anything as the first wife of the Ye family, Zhang Chunji.
When Madame Li heard this, the anger on her face had gone by more than seventy percent. It seemed that her third wife was a good person. She was also thinking about the Ye Family. This was her duty as a wife!
"Everyone, what's with the clothes that Mu Linger and Brother Yang wore?" "Is it like our Ye family can't afford to let our clothes fall too?"
She hated him for not being able to keep up with him and even knew that it was time to give some new clothes to Mu Lü and Brother Yang. As his first wife, she was also in charge of some of the family's affairs, so how could she not have thought of this? It was all in vain for her to raise this matter of the eldest wife for so many years!
Zhang Chunji suddenly heard this and stared blankly. He didn't understand why she was involved in this. She had clearly been enjoying the show just now. She didn't do anything!
Even though she thought this in her heart, Zhang Chunji still quickly stood up. When her father-in-law wasn't home, this mother-in-law was still the oldest. How could she, a daughter-in-law, dare to disobey?
"Mom, Third Sister-in-Law has never mentioned this to me. If she did, how could I not do it?"
Usually, Yang Lili would ask her for food, but she would evade them all and refuse to give or give them less. The third house even had problems with its daily life, so how could it be possible for it to have any leisure time to tell her what to do with its clothes!
After hearing this, Lady Li's eased expression suddenly changed, and she coldly laughed as she said:
"Then, is it that an old woman like me, who can't get into bed, who can't get onto a table, who can't even open her mouth, doesn't need to feed me anymore?!"
In the Empire of Donghua, a daughter-in-law who was unfilial and unfilial had the authority to directly divorce her. If her conduct was even more serious, it was not impossible for her to make a ruckus that spread far and wide. As for how to deal with it, it was up to everyone, so she could just go to the government later to make a record of it.
This was an era where a person's life was like a blade of grass, and it was even more cruel to women.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunji did not dare to stand anymore. He kneeled down and said:
"Mother, I didn't mean it that way, how would I dare!?" "If I do that, even if her father doesn't chase me out, it'll be like thunder striking the sky …"
Qi Mu was still on his knees sobbing, but when he heard what Zhang Chunji said, he couldn't wait to get up and give her a slap. Was this what the lucky granny wanted to hear? What useless nonsense!
She had managed to pull Li Zhiqing into the water with much difficulty, but in the end, she had completely abandoned him with just a single sentence or two! This fool, he should immediately admit his wrongs and submit to Madame Li, then ask Li Zhiqing why she saw it. He would not tell her about his fiancée first, but should instead tell her what kind of clothes he had spent the entire night making! Did he not acknowledge or respect her as his sister-in-law? Or was he trying to fulfill her reputation as the eldest wife of the Ye family?
Maybe my mother is too busy with her work, so she doesn't have the time to tell my aunt, so it's not her fault. My aunt also said that she would make clothes for us siblings, she will definitely be generous and decent. When the time comes, I'll even bring my brother to show him to my grandmother, don't you think so, my aunt?
Noticing that the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse, Qi Mu spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Chun grass didn't care about her usual mockery and displeasure towards Qi Mu. When she heard Qi Mu ask her, she immediately responded as if she had found a lifesaver.
Seeing this, Lady Li's expression became gentler, and she faintly nodded her head.
"Aunt, today before I came, my mother told me that we were running out of food at home. These days my father only drank that porridge and didn't even have the strength to work underground, so he didn't look too good. Let me ask Aunt, when can she bring us some more food?"
In one go, she thought that Madame Li was favoring the two of them right now, so she might as well solve the problem of food together. This would save her from worrying every day, so that her family would run out of food.
"What?" The old three families eat porridge everyday? "
When Madame Li heard this, she fiercely glared at Zhang Chunji. She hadn't done a good job in making her do anything! She just didn't like her second son much, but he was still her son! When had it ever been her turn as a daughter-in-law to grind them?!
Zhang Chunji groaned in his heart. He was on the verge of tears. Was this little girl's intelligence today? She didn't even talk much and wasn't close to Madame Li. Otherwise, how would she dare to be so harsh!
"Little Mu, if you say so, then what's there to be busy with? I'll bring you to get the food right away."
This time, Zhang Chunji learned his lesson and quickly began to move.
Qi Mu couldn't help but rejoice secretly in his heart. It was indeed a fruitful trip for her! She tried her best to keep the sadness on her face under control... "Ooo" If he did not laugh, he would spoil the show!
"Mother, I'll go get some food for Qi Mu first, and a few coarse cloths for the two of them to make clothes along the way. Is that okay with you?"
Zhang Chunji asked for Li's opinion.
Madame Li impatiently said:
"Go, go, if you can't do it properly, don't come see me again!"
Zhang Chunji replied with a smile. He turned around and affectionately led Qi Mu and Yang Yang out of the main hall of the Ye family mansion.
When Madame Li saw Zhang Chunji's performance, she didn't say anything more. As long as her family was at peace, she didn't want to care about anything else. She would be satisfied if she was raised well and had her children wrapped around her knees.
The moment she stepped out of the hall, Qi Mu felt her hand being pinched painfully. She didn't say anything more and just quietly followed Zhang Chunji, just like before. She didn't say anything, only stubbornly remaining silent.
