Unmarried Men and Women: Daily Life of Raising Children in Ancient Times

Mu Yi'an, a teacher at an agricultural school, in her thirties, unmarried, nearly expelled from her family by her biological mother.

Jiang Shuyun, a high school political teacher, in her ...

Chapter 34 Whether I get it or not is up to me

"Whether I give away my own things or not is entirely up to me. As your sister-in-law, shouldn't you ask me first if you want something? Respect is mutual, and the sister-in-law should be mindful of this."

"You, you, you..."

Mu Yi'an's words made Jiang Lan blush and her neck turn red. She was speechless, pointing at Mu Yi'an and stammering for a long time without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law, you'd better put your hand down. I'm very unhappy pointing at me like that."

Mu Yi'an's tone and eyes were unfriendly.

"Jiang Lan, you can't point your finger at your second sister-in-law, that's very impolite."

Jiang Shuyun felt that pointing at people was very impolite. He frowned and said something to Jiang Lan.

"Second brother, you're criticizing me too, boohoo..."

Jiang Lan, whether out of anger or embarrassment, began to sob uncontrollably.

"Have you finished speaking?"

Jiang's father looked at the people in the room; each had their own reasons and their own thoughts.

"Jiang Lan, why didn't you ask your sister-in-law about the things your second brother brought back? Aren't they husband and wife? It's true that you are his sister, but weren't they the ones who raised the children together? Taking other people's things without asking is considered stealing. What reason do you have to treat your brother and sister-in-law as two separate families?"

Furthermore, is it your place to discuss matters of dividing the family property? You are our youngest daughter, but not the youngest child in the family. Aren't your nephews and nieces part of this family? Aren't they younger than you? In the future, be mindful of your words and actions. Know what you should and shouldn't say.

Those who are older should act like elders; it's not that being older automatically entitles them to respect. Those who are younger should also be mindful of their position; it's not that being younger guarantees preferential treatment. That's enough for today; everyone should reflect on their actions.

After Jiang's father finished speaking, he told them to go out and reflect on their actions, and that they could have dinner later.

Jiang's mother didn't say anything; she was also very annoyed by all the trouble.

The group dispersed, each with their own thoughts and ideas.
