Tang Qiyue just kept smiling. She must not say anything nonsense at this time. Although Zhan's mother loved her son, she could not take on everything.
"Forget it, you're just like Ono, you don't tell me anything!"
Tang Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zhan's mother didn't ask, she wouldn't say anything.
When Zhan Zeye comes back, he will explain this matter to his mother himself.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bought almost everything they wanted, and Tang Qiuyue also bought a lot of candy.
"Eat less sugar. Too much will cause a toothache!"
Zhan's mother couldn't understand why Tang Qiyue spent so much money on candy.
Tang Qiyue didn't explain. She would buy a few pounds of candy whenever she went out. She had a lot of candy tickets on her anyway.
When they returned home, Mrs. Zhan saw that they brought back so many things, her eyes were full of envy, and her voice became sour.
“Oh, it turns out that my brother-in-law can make a lot of money. The eldest daughter of a capitalist is very generous and doesn’t feel bad about spending money!”
As soon as Mrs. Zhan opened her mouth, her mother slapped her on the back.
"Stop being so sarcastic. If you have money, you can buy it too. Xiaoye and Qiyue can buy whatever they want with their money. We've divided the family property now. Even if you're jealous, you just have to bear it!"
Tang Qiyue was greatly benefited by Zhan's mother's understanding and impartiality.
She didn't care about Mrs. Zhan's sarcasm, but handed a bag of candy to the child who was watching eagerly beside her.
"Sister-in-law, I brought some candy for the child. Please watch him and don't let him eat too much, or he'll get a toothache!"
This time she gave the words that Zhan's mother had reminded her of before to Zhan's eldest sister-in-law.
Mrs. Zhan's intention to continue to be sarcastic was suppressed, and she felt awkward.
But when he saw the candy in the child's hand, and then saw his son reach out and grab a candy and put it into his mouth, he immediately became anxious.
"You stupid kid, how could you be so reluctant to give it to me? This is candy, give it to me quickly, I'll keep it for you. If you eat too much, your teeth will hurt!"
He ran after the child, and at the same time escaped from the disdainful gaze of Zhan's mother.
Zhan's mother turned around and reminded Tang Qiyue: "Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this. What's the point of giving it to him? Your three children probably can't even eat candy twice a year on the island!"
It is said that the elderly love their grandchildren, but one is the grandson who can be seen at any time here, and the other is the grandson who has never been seen on the island and may still be suffering.
Mother Zhan naturally favors the one who suffers.
This is the simple idea of the war mother.
Tang Qiyue laughed dryly. How could she explain? The three naughty kids in her family never stopped having snacks and candies. One reason was that she often made some snacks, and the other was that Zhan Chunying took out all her pocket money from time to time and exchanged it for candies for her nephews.
I almost spoil her to the sky.
Why waste your breath on something that can be solved with a bag of candy?
Mrs. Zhan is a typical little woman. She doesn't have any big picture vision. She just feels jealous when she sees others living a better life.
It’s hard to explain to her, and there’s no need to explain.
Tang Qiyue didn't want to tell Zhan's mother about this, so she just kept smiling and listened to Zhan's mother's chatter.
The old man is nagging because he feels sorry for her, so why not?
After chatting with Zhan's mother for a while, Zhan Zeye also came back.
It turned out that Gu Yanting was looking for Zhan Zeye just to follow up on the last incident, and he still wanted to get some information from Zhan Zeye.
"I'm not a fool, why should I tell them?"
Zhan Zeye washed his face and saw Tang Qiyue handing him a towel. He took it, wiped his face roughly, and hung it around his neck.
It’s not that I’m afraid of the heat, it’s simply because I’m too lazy to hang it back up.
Zhan's mother brought a bowl of noodles with soybean paste. Zhan Zeye was indeed hungry, so he naturally didn't waste any time and ate first.
Zhan's mother kept nagging him to slow down, saying that there was more in the pot, and asked some questions about topics that concerned her, but they all revolved around Zhan Zeye.
Tang Qiyue didn't want to disturb the conversation between the mother and son, so she went out to take a look.
It was a rare opportunity for her to come back, and she was not familiar with her neighbors. They were very curious about Tang Qiyue and tried to come in to see her.
But just as she arrived at the door and sat on the bluestone slab at the door, she saw Mrs. Zhan coming over.
"What good is there to talk about with these gossipers? They all crane their necks and prick up their ears just to hear about my brother-in-law!"
The Zhan family had a son named Zhan Zeye, and because he married Tang Qiuyue, the eldest daughter of a capitalist, he had long been the most interesting person among his neighbors.
Even though Sister Zhan is jealous of Tang Qiyue's extravagance, they are still family after all.
If Zhan Zeye is doing well, their family can also benefit from it.
But people outside don’t care so much.
Tang Qiuyue was brought to their yard by Mrs. Zhan.
"I just want to listen to what they talk about. It seems quite down-to-earth!"
It is indeed difficult for Tang Qiuyue to integrate into the communication circle of ordinary people. This is true on the island and here as well.
She is not an ordinary person, and it is unrealistic for her to try to fit in.
Mrs. Zhan handed Tang Qiuyue a handful of water chestnuts, all of which were steamed and could be eaten directly.
"Only the daughters of capitalists like you would say such infuriating things. What's the point of saying 'worldly'? The lives of ordinary people like us are full of trivialities and annoyances. If you really go through that kind of life, you'll cry!"
Tang Qiyue: ...
Although Mrs. Zhan's words were not nice, it could be heard that she was suffering from the hardships of life.
Tang Qiyue broke the water chestnuts open without saying a word.
She doesn't eat much of this, so it's really fresh to eat it occasionally.
"You and your brother-in-law are not at home. You don't know how many people here are thinking. Each one is more cunning than the other, and they can't stand others living better than them!"
After saying this, Mrs. Zhan saw that Tang Qiyue didn't respond and became a little angry: "Or do you look down on me? You don't even respond to me when I talk to you!"
Tang Qiyue: "Sister-in-law, I'm not ignoring you, I'm just listening to you, and I think sister-in-law is very powerful, at least I can't be as powerful as sister-in-law!"
Sister-in-law Zhan: ...
She always felt that this statement was a little scary.
How could she be so powerful as a common woman?
Is this a mockery of her?
"Speak nicely, I know my own worth. I can't compare with you and my brother-in-law. You're both superior people!"
Mrs. Zhan rubbed her arms, always afraid of being scared by Tang Qiyue.
Tang Qiyue smiled: "Sister-in-law, I know you and your sister-in-law have had a hard time these years and have endured a lot of rumors. Zhan Zeye and I are not the kind of ignorant people. You have taken care of mother-in-law and Chunying over the years, and Zhan Zeye remembers it. This time we take mother-in-law over not because sister-in-law and brother did a bad job, but because we need mother-in-law's help!"
Mrs. Zhan's expression finally changed.
She was very angry and thought about it for a month, but she couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Now after hearing Tang Qiyue's words, I feel that the grievances in my heart can finally be vented.
"We are the eldest children, so naturally we have to take care of my mother-in-law and my unmarried sister-in-law. But Chunying ran away first, and then my mother-in-law also passed away. What will the neighbors think of us?"
