In her previous life, Zhao Zhenzhu's military officer husband made a mistake, died, and brought shame to their entire family.

To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhu did the hea...

Chapter 12: Prodigal Daughter-in-law VS Shameless Mother-in-law

Ding Ermei can only hold on to the fact that Zhao Zhenzhu stole the eggs, otherwise, Ding Ermei will lose all her face in Zhoujia Village.

Only Zhao Zhenzhu was labeled as the egg thief. Naturally, no one believed what Zhao Zhenzhu said.

"Jiaxiang was only eight years old, and because he saw Zhao Zhenzhu cheating, Zhao Zhenzhu slapped him hard. Poor Jiaxiang! What if his ears were deafened by Zhao Zhenzhu?"

"What a sin I have committed! My family is unlucky to marry a daughter-in-law who is greedy, vicious and a liar."

After Ding Ermei made up her mind, she tried her best to throw the dirty water on Zhao Zhenzhu.

Chen Yufeng's expression changed, and the expressions of the audience around her also changed.

Eggs were a precious food in this era, and were usually used to nourish the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled in the family.

For a woman who has just given birth after childbirth, being able to eat two eggs a day is already an incredible treat.

Zhao Zhenzhu and her daughter ate four or five eggs in one meal, which was really a "wasteful" behavior.

Also, Zhou Jiaxiang is the child of the second wife. Even if he did something wrong, he would be taught a lesson by his biological parents. It was really excessive for Zhao Zhenzhu, as his aunt, to slap him in the face.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhenzhu walked over to Chen Yufeng and explained softly, "Director Chen, I really didn't take the eggs from my home. I have evidence."

"Zhao Zhenzhu, you said that your eggs were given to you by your mother's family. Your brother came to our house the day before yesterday and only brought a bag of biscuits. How could there be eggs?" Before Chen Yufeng could say anything, Ding Ermei jumped up and refuted.

"Mother-in-law, it turned out that you stole the biscuits in my room? I thought they were dragged away by a mouse!" Zhao Zhenzhu's face was full of shock.

"Zhao Zhenzhu, didn't you give me the things your parents sent you to keep? How can you put the blame on me? It's so ugly that you stole them secretly!" Ding Ermei gritted her teeth.

"Mother-in-law, you also know that stealing sounds bad, so why do you accuse me of stealing eggs?" Zhao Zhenzhu refused to give in.

"I..." Ding Ermei was speechless and could only argue: "Anyway, I have never stolen anything from you. The food your parents sent was sent by you and you asked me to go to your room to get it."

"I never said such a thing. Every time there was food in my room, you ordered me to do this and that, and when I finished and returned to the room, the things were gone. I am the junior and wanted to save some face for you, but since you don't want face, I won't hide it for you." Zhao Zhenzhu said angrily.

"Hahahaha...Mrs. Ding has been a thief so many times that everyone looks like a thief to her."

"Mr. Fugui, it's wrong for you to do this! You are the elder, how can you enter your daughter-in-law's room and steal things?"

"Ding Ermei is really shameless, the thief cries thief."

"Could it be that Ding Ermei ate the egg herself and put the blame on Zhenzhu?"

······

Everyone was talking about it.

Ding Ermei's face turned red.

What Zhao Zhenzhu said was true, and even if Ding Ermei wanted to refute it, she had no way to do so.

Ding Ermei is short-sighted and wants to get any good things at home for herself.

Ding Ermei also treated what her daughter-in-law brought back as her own.

Ding Xiaocui and Chen Jinfeng's parents were both from the countryside, and their family conditions were not as good as Zhou's. Throughout the year, the things Ding Xiaocui and Chen Jinfeng brought back from their parents' homes were less than what they sent back.

Only Zhao Zhenzhu's family was well-off and her family loved her so much that they would send her gifts every now and then.

Zhao Zhenzhu never ate alone. Whenever she had something delicious, she would take out half and share it with everyone. She would leave the other half in the room for her two children to eat.

Ding Ermei felt that Zhao Zhenzhu didn't know how to live.

A bag of pastries, if eaten sparingly, can last you a month or two!

Zhao Zhenzhu let Zhou Jiakai and Zhou Yunyun eat whatever they wanted, but they were all gone in a few days. It was such a waste.

Ding Ermei talked to Zhao Zhenzhu several times, but Zhao Zhenzhu didn't listen. Finally, Ding Ermei came up with a "good idea": whenever the Zhao family sent something, she would move it into her room.

When Zhao Zhenzhu asked about it, Ding Ermei said, "Zhenzhu! You see, Jiakai and Yunyun are still young. If they eat too much good food, they won't be able to endure hardships in the future. Your dad and I are old, so we should eat good food, right?"

Ding Ermei is so shameless, Zhao Zhenzhu can't just rush into Ding Ermei's room and snatch her things back, right?

Of course, Zhao Zhenzhu was not stupid. From then on, every time she went back to her parents' home, she tried not to bring food back, and would rather eat a few more bites at her parents' home.

But Zhao Qingshan and his wife love their daughter so much!

Since Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want it, they asked their son Zhao Tianyu to send it over.

In the end, the things Zhao Tianyu sent were taken away by Ding Ermei.

Zhao Zhenzhu was often upset about this.

It's really frustrating to have a mother-in-law with dirty hands and feet.

However, Zhao Zhenzhu was proud today.

The losses she had suffered in the past allowed Zhao Zhenzhu to tear off Ding Ermei's mask with reason and evidence at this critical moment.

"You, you, you...even if you say anything today, you stole eggs from home and Jiaxiang saw it with his own eyes." Ding Ermei said this, grabbed Chen Yufeng's hand and said, "Yufeng, we are relatives, you can't help Zhao Zhenzhu!"

"Aunt Ding, let go. You don't need to remind me that I always do things fairly." Chen Yufeng struggled to break free from Ding Ermei's hand.

Chen Yufeng's eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

If there hadn't been so many people at the scene, Chen Yufeng would definitely have scolded Ding Ermei: You're the kind of person who would cheat people.

Chen Yufeng’s current identity is a village cadre who is responsible for resolving the conflict between Ding Ermei and her mother-in-law.

Even if she wanted to favor Ding Ermei, she couldn't say it out loud! It would make Chen Yufeng seem unqualified as a village cadre.

Chen Yufeng once again regretted that she had coveted Ding Ermei's "matchmaking money" and introduced her cousin to Zhou Bingqiang.

Chen Yufeng didn't want a relative like Ding Ermei who would only hold her back.

"Director Chen, I know you are a fair person." Zhao Zhenzhu's words warmed Chen Yufeng's heart.

"We village cadres serve the people, and we must be fair and just in doing things." Chen Yufeng took the opportunity to promote herself.

Village cadres are not appointed for life. If they do not do their job well, villagers will go to the town to complain to the leaders.

Chen Yufeng wants to be the director of the Women's Affairs Bureau for a few more years! She doesn't have to work in the fields and gets full work points, plus a few yuan in subsidies every month.

Who wouldn’t want to do such a wonderful thing?

"Director Chen, come with me and I'll show you the evidence." Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.

"We need to take a look. We won't let a bad guy go, but we can't wrongly accuse a good guy either." Chen Yufeng said seriously.

After all, Chen Yufeng had been the director of the Women's Department for several years, and she was cautious in what she said and did.

"This is it." Zhao Zhenzhu took Chen Yufeng to Ding Ermei's door and pointed to the big lock on the door.

Chen Yufeng was a little confused and for a moment she didn't realize what the relationship was between the door lock and the eggs.
