Chapter 85 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 7

"How can we supplement the family income? With the three of them, you can't do anything well and eat everything without leaving anything behind. In all these years, how much silver have you brought in?" Feng Wu finally grabbed Lin's arm and tugged at her dress, jokingly saying, "This fine cloth feels soft. It must be worth a lot of money! Mother is puzzled. Why do Lin and her children wear fine cloth? Where does she get the money?"

Zhu Dalang and Lin's hearts began to beat fast when they heard this. Zhu Dalang knew that his wife and daughter earned more than that from embroidery, but he felt sorry for his wife and daughter, so he turned a blind eye and let it go. However, since this would arouse suspicion from his own mother, he felt inexplicably guilty.

Lin's face turned really pale. She lowered her eyes for a moment, and when she raised them, her eyes were already filled with tears. "Mother, it's all your fault for being useless. You haven't been able to earn more for the family. As the eldest brother and sister-in-law, my younger brothers and sisters-in-law should be taken care of by me and Dalang. Don't worry, mother. From now on, your daughter-in-law will work like a cow or a horse to take good care of them!"

Lin, who was crying with her face covered, looked like she was about to faint from crying, and her whole body leaned weakly in Zhu Dalang's arms.

Holding the sweet and beautiful girl in his arms, his heart was filled with joy. Seeing his wife being forced by her mother, and seeing his second brother, his wife-in-law and his younger sister blatantly slacking off, Zhu Dalang was furious.

Why?

Why should he, the eldest brother, be the one to take care of his younger siblings? He has been working in the fields with his grandparents since he was eight years old. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard over the years! Why is it so difficult for him to make his wife and children live a comfortable life?

The second brother's family still went to the fields to work every day, but what about the third brother? He found a job in town and stayed at his wife's house all day long. If you didn't know him, you would think he was a live-in son-in-law.

Over the years, I haven't seen the third brother contribute much to the family. The thirty copper coins per month are only sent back every few months. Sometimes he doesn't have enough and is short of ten or twenty coins. Why doesn't his mother say that the third brother is unfilial?

He didn't say anything about Zhenmei being a girl, but when she got married with a dowry, she would be treated as a member of another family.

Fifth brother, you are a scholar, and the money you spend on studying is a bottomless pit. It’s okay if you can pass the exam, but what if you fail?

Of course he didn't dare to say this, otherwise his father would definitely be angry with him. Since his youngest brother was born, he could see clearly that his father loved his youngest sister and fifth brother more. He often said that their birth brought him good luck and allowed him to get a good job at the dock.

After comparing everything, it was what he deserved as the eldest brother. The wife he married was not liked by his grandparents. He endured the difficulties from his elders silently. However, this was too bullying.

When an honest man gets angry, it's like an active volcano that has been deposited for many years. It will explode without being ignited. What's more, there is Lin, a woman who is eager to create chaos in the world, fanning the flames.

"Oh, God! Why don't you just send down a thunderbolt to kill me, an old woman? The son I raised with so much effort has become someone else's son. He feels sorry for his wife who has never done any housework, but he doesn't care about the life and death of me, a mother who works hard for my children day and night."

Feng Wu covered his aching heart and quietly felt the helplessness and coldness in the original heart. His eyes turned red involuntarily.

"Host, are you okay?" The system felt as if it was soaked in bitter and astringent Coptis chinensis soup, and it felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

The longer it is bound to the host, the more it can empathize with the host's soul consciousness, even if this consciousness comes from the tasker.

The three parties were like a rope that was getting tighter and tighter, tightly entangled together, and their perceptions were naturally interconnected. The system was frightened by its own imagination and quickly ran back to the backstage.

Antivirus, antivirus, it will delete all strange perceptions that do not belong to the program itself!

Zhu Dalang, who was originally full of grievances and anger, was screaming and crying like this. He still had some conscience and turned to his mother. "Mom, what are you talking about? Aren't you going to force your son to death?"

For the first time, she looked seriously at her mother's increasingly thin and old face. When her eyes fell on Lin's beautiful face that had hardly changed in more than ten years, Zhu Dalang's eyes flickered with an inexplicable sense of guilt. Finally, he said weakly, "Mother, Lin has never worked in the fields before. Please bear with her. Wait, as time goes by, she will become proficient in it."

Lin stared at Zhu Dalang in shock with her mouth wide open, not understanding why the man who used to obey her so well would turn so cruel and ruthless overnight.

Feng Wu knew when to stop, patted Zhu Dalang's arm, and gave in: "Forget it, we are all family, and mother is not a fussy mother-in-law. If Lin feels tired, go and rest under the tree for a while."

His eyes fell on the sickle in Lin's hand, and he said tiredly: "This sickle has not been used for many years and is badly rusted. Remember to sharpen it when you go back, so that you can save effort." It was obvious that this woman was just using a sickle to fool her old wife!

After saying this, he made a fist with his right hand and gently pounded his back. Then he turned around hunched over and muttered to himself, "Ah, I'm getting old. I can't help my children anymore. Instead, I've become a burden..."

The system blinked its eyes and said in its heart, "Wow, I learned something!"

It turns out that the host is the Longjing tea from 1982!

Feng Wu, who didn't know that she had become a green tea girl in the eyes of the system, moved back to the shade of the tree little by little under the self-blaming gaze of her eldest son.

She is so pitiful, how can her filial son have the nerve to let her go to the fields?

Zhu Dalang returned to the field, frowning at the overturned grass roots and stones. His tone was like an elder brother's admonition, "Second brother, it won't tire you out if you put in a little more effort. This piece of land belongs to you. If mother doesn't pass the inspection, you'll have to redo the work, and your elder brother won't be able to help you."

Zhu Erlang curled his lips, thinking that if you don't help, your mother will be upset and will definitely help. Of course, he won't be stupid enough to directly ignore his eldest brother's face. After all, the farm work at home depends on his eldest brother.

"Well, I'll listen to you, big brother. I'll plow this ridge again later."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Zhu Dalang didn't waste any words. He thought that if he worked faster, he could finish the work earlier and help his wife share more of the burden.

Lin, who was outmaneuvered by her mother-in-law, looked at Zhu Dalang with resentment as he hoeed the ground with his back bent. However, he could not feel the deep call from her heart. She could only look away in disappointment, and her eyes became sore as she looked at the endless thatch.

If she had known earlier, she would have...

Thinking about her stepmother's methods of punishing people, she gave up the idea of leaving. She had no connections in Shangjing, so she would just be serving as a waiter if she went there.
