Is this blaming her parents-in-law? Zhou Jiao felt a little unhappy. The old man didn't spend your money, so why should you care? The legs are on you, and you want to see your man, but you won't go.

Zhou Jiao, who had just returned from abroad, didn't know that Zhang's father and mother often took turns taking care of Xizi and his four siblings, otherwise she would really be rude to her!

When everyone has enough food to eat, why would they bother to care about your family's affairs?

Huang Cuilan mumbled a lot, and then felt relieved after finishing it, but soon realized that Zhou Jiao had not responded. She thought about it for a while and realized that her words might have caused Zhou Jiao to misunderstand.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Once, Mom and Dad went there and came back in the heavy rain, and Mom even caught a cold. It doesn't matter if they spend some money, but how can their bodies handle such a trip back and forth? Don't you think so?"

Zhou Jiao frowned slightly when she heard this. "Is it serious? Have you been to the hospital? You're not trying to reduce the fever at home by covering yourself up, are you?"

"No, she took the medicine you left for her and drank a big bowl of rice porridge the next day and she was fine. We were so scared at the time, but luckily she's fine, otherwise I would have felt so guilty."

Finally, the person is alive.

After hearing that her mother-in-law's problem wasn't serious, Zhou Jiao was in a good mood and didn't bother to argue with outsiders. She smiled and said, "What does this have to do with you? Mom is a good and competent mother. No matter how old the child is, she worries when he's not around. Once Big Brother returns from his training, everything will be fine in her presence."

Huang Cuilan sighed and said quietly, "Mom is also a good mother-in-law..."

"Sister-in-law, today is mother's birthday, let's be happy."

Seeing her stunned after she finished speaking, Zhou Jiao thought for a moment and advised, "There's nothing in this world that can't be overcome. If you have nothing to do, go out for a walk more often. How can this person, who stays at home all the time and faces endless housework, feel good? Now even Mai Miao can take care of herself, so you don't have to stay at home all day. You can go to the provincial capital to visit your brother when you have time."

Huang Cuilan sat down on the stool, hesitated for a moment, shook her head with a wry smile, and asked softly, "Have you seen your brother's classmates? I've been there before, but they seem..."

Zhou Jiao followed up on her and spoke slowly, "As if he's superior to others? As if he's excluding you?"

Huang Cuilan nodded. "Your second sister-in-law hasn't met those lesbians, and I don't know how to describe them. You should have met them, right? You say they are cultured people, but who isn't your mother and your godmother cultured? They're not like them. To be honest, they look down on me, and I don't even want to associate with them."

Zhou Jiao gave her a sympathetic look. "Silly woman, those people are either trying to steal your boyfriend or can't bear to see you have everything they don't have. That's pink eye, it needs treatment!"

In the yard, Lin Juhua saw her mother-in-law standing motionless not far from the kitchen. She sneaked over curiously and was about to speak when she was pulled away by Zhang's mother.

"Go in later and let your sister-in-law vent her grievances."

"mother?"

Mother Zhang rolled her eyes at her. "What mother? You're all just idiots! I have three sons and three daughters-in-law, which one of them is not good enough? Do you look down on them? If I had slapped them a long time ago, how could I have endured the humiliation?"

"ah?"

Mother Zhang snorted and turned back to the main room.

She should go see her oldest son to calm down. She'd have to give her eldest son a good beating when he came back. What's a wife? A wife is his face. If others don't give him face, what's the point of laughing with those bastards?

Zhang's mother muttered in her heart, cursing her stupid son and stupid daughter-in-law...

Lin Juhua saw her mother-in-law holding her chin up and leaving proudly. What was going on? Who could tell her?

In the main room, the children gathered around the snacks, chattering to each other, looking extremely happy.

When Zhang Guoqing saw his mother's expression, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Mom, where have you been again? Come over here and rest."

Zhang's mother was in high spirits when she saw her son. A smile appeared on her face. "I'm not old, why should I rest? Did your father run away again?"

Hearing this, Zhang Guoqing laughed happily, "Dad will take Ping An to the backyard. Dad can't run away today, the little one is following closely."

"If your father hasn't touched a hoe for a day, he's like a lost soul."

The mother and daughter sat down on the kang while talking.

Zhang Guoqing looked at his mother and said, "Why don't you wear new clothes? Jiaojiao was afraid that you would be too conspicuous, so she embroidered a lot of blessings on the inside. You must wear this, and you will live a long life."

Mother Zhang nodded cheerfully, "We'll change it later."

Zhang Guoqing looked at his nephews and whispered in their ears, "They have to change. Mom, ask Dad to change later. Jiaojiao spent several days embroidering those blessing characters. I saw her reciting scriptures while she was embroidering."

"Oh, well, I have to go find your dad and come back to change clothes."

Zhang Guoqing saw that she was in a hurry to get off the kang because she said that the wind would bring rain, so he quickly moved her shoes and said, "Take your time, don't rush, be careful not to bump into anything..."

Zhang's mother left the main hall and heard Lin Juhua's laughter in the kitchen. She shook her head repeatedly. Well, she had another silly daughter-in-law!

"...I didn't dare go out at the time, but I got used to it and it's nothing. Short hair is easy to wash in the summer. Sister-in-law, I guarantee it will look good after you cut it. If you don't believe me, ask Jiaojiao."

In the kitchen, Zhou Jiao glanced at Lin Juhua with amusement. Lin Juhua had just come in and started complaining about how scorching the weather was, goading Huang Cuilan into getting a haircut. The implications of this were indescribable!

"Jiaojiao, how about you accompany your sister-in-law to get a short haircut?"

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head.

"Oh, if you don't cut it, sister-in-law won't cut it either."

Zhou Jiao didn't even bother to respond this time. She wasn't afraid that Zhang Guoqing would look down on her. If she had to compromise like this for a man, he might as well kill her.

She glanced at Huang Cuilan who was eager to try, lowered her eyes, and began to wash the rolling pin.

"Let's go to the inner room. It'll be quick. It didn't take me long the last time I cut someone's hair. Come on, hurry up. Jiaojiao, don't wash anymore. Let's go to my sister-in-law's room."

Zhou Jiao looked at the rolling pin that was snatched away by Lin Juhua, smiled helplessly, and followed her out of the kitchen.

In this way, Huang Cuilan was dragged to the slaughterhouse half voluntarily and half forced, and a pair of large scissors in Lin Juhua's hands quickly completed its mission - her three thousand black hairs were finally cut off at the ears.

Zhou Jiao couldn't bear to watch. If it were her, she would have gone to hell with Lin Juhua. No wonder she said it didn't take long to cut someone's hair.

"Sister-in-law, you can open your eyes now. Look in the mirror. Do you look energetic? You look much younger?"

"I don't know either. I just feel like this isn't me." Huang Cuilan looked at herself in the mirror and paused. "Jiaojiao, what do you think?"

Zhou Jiao was really afraid that Zhang Guofu would be so scared when he saw his wife's horrible appearance when he came in. This haircut didn't make her look younger, but more like his mother.

She sighed secretly. In order to commit fewer sins, she had to accumulate virtue. Zhou Jiao took a long-sleeved shirt from the kang and threw it to her, "Put it on first."

"What's wrong?"

The two sisters-in-law had a tacit understanding and asked in unison.

Zhou Jiao shook her head, took the scissors and comb, and began to reshape Huang Cuilan's hair. She didn't dare to be too eccentric, so she began to create layers through the thick hair.

As layers of hair fell to the ground, Huang Cuilan twisted her neck nervously.

"Don't move!"

This time, not only Zhou Jiao spoke out, Lin Juhua also blurted out, and held Huang Cuilan's head tightly, "Jiaojiao, help me fix it too."

"Puff!"

Lin Juhua was not affected at all when she heard Zhou Jiao's chuckle. She stared at her and when she saw her nod, she happily let go of Huang Cuilan's head and took a few steps back to watch.

"Sister-in-law, this will definitely look better. Jiaojiao will cut the inside of your hair short, and the outside will look very pleasing to the eye. Oh, don't worry, you can't see the back, and it will be the front's turn soon."

An hour later, Zhou Jiao dusted off her clothes, glanced at her two sisters-in-law, who were laughing at each other, and quickly dragged them back to the kitchen. If they delayed any longer, her mother-in-law's birthday would be over.
