"Bai Zhou, don't say nice things to her." Zhao Qiuqin's anger had basically subsided. As long as her daughter didn't say that her son-in-law bought it, she would feel relieved.
"I didn't say anything good about Jiayu. I really meant it. You raised Jiayu to this age. Now Jiayu is my wife. It's my duty to be filial to you on her behalf." Jiang Baizhou continued.
Song Jiayu nodded at her biological mother. She knew that her biological mother was afraid that she would take things from her husband's family to subsidize her own family, making life difficult in her husband's family, so she scolded her. It was really none of her business!
"Oh, my Jiayu has found a really good son-in-law." Zhao Qiuqin liked him more and more and continued, "Jiayu is sometimes lazy and has a bad temper. You should be more tolerant of her. But if she bullies you, tell me and I will definitely help you criticize her."
Song Jiayu: "Mom, since you said that, it would be unreasonable for me not to bully you!"
Zhao Qiuqin pointed at her daughter and laughed, "You're the only one who looks like a little monkey, Bai Zhou. Let's ignore her."
Everyone in the room was laughing for a moment. Song Beiwang even asked, "Mom, my eldest sister is a monkey, so what do I look like?"
Zhao Qiuqin: "You're like a monkey, making me angry all the time."
…
The laughter and joyful chatter here reached the courtyard. The old couple of the Song family could sit still, but Song Quanqing and Wei Meihua looked gloomy, which was not a good thing.
At this time, at the captain's house, the door of Sun Changlei's room was closed. The captain's wife stared at the door and said harshly: "When villagers go back to their parents' home, who doesn't bring some eggs, brown sugar, and a few vegetables as a token of appreciation? Do you really think it's still the old society? We can't even get enough to eat, and yet we still have to be so particular about these things? Why don't you just marry someone rich and live in the county?"
Before the last marriage, it was the captain's wife who failed to keep an eye on her son. This time, he must do everything he can to suppress the restless heart of the second son's wife.
"Mom, please stop talking. It's so annoying!" Sun Changlei's voice came from the room.
The captain's wife felt a pang in her heart. What's the point of having this son? He married a scheming daughter-in-law who stayed at home every day and didn't go out to work or do housework. She would cry after being told a few words, as if her mother-in-law had tortured her a lot. But in all honesty, every daughter-in-law in the village had gone through the same thing. She wasn't one of those evil mother-in-laws.
She was so angry. How many times had her son talked back to her in just three days since she got married?
"I'm going to say, since you've married into our family, you have to abide by our rules. You can't just focus on competing with others. Country people are country people. Do you really expect us to become city people?"
"Mom, stop talking. Xiulan didn't mean that."
"I didn't mean to do that. I instigated you to buy those things back then, and now I'm instigating you again. If you go there again this time, your father and I will beat you to death first to avoid affecting the whole family."
"mom!!!"
The second son's voice became anxious, and the captain's wife stopped temporarily. Anyway, she would stay here today.
In the room, Song Xiulan turned her back to Sun Changlei and cried silently. Two tear marks flowed down her fair and smooth cheeks and dripped onto the back of Sun Changlei's hand, which was so hot that it was heartbreaking.
Sun Changlei held Xiulan's hand and placed it on her cheek, gently wiping her tears and coaxing her softly: "Stop crying, okay? If you keep crying, my heart will break."
Song Xiulan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke: "Mom said this to me. Did she really treat me as her daughter-in-law? I didn't say anything. If I really wanted to be with someone else, I wouldn't have chosen to marry you. Sun Changlei, I thought I was happy to be with you, but now I'm not happy at all."
Fearing that Xiulan would regret it, Sun Changlei hugged his wife and begged, "Don't say that. I will treat you twice as well, Xiulan. Please don't leave me."
"Wow, I don't want to leave you either, but what mom says every time hurts my heart, and I feel sad." Song Xiulan cried softly, and she looked like she didn't dare to cry out loud so that others could hear.
This seemed even more pitiful to Sun Changlei.
"Xiu Lan, wait for me. I will bring the two wild ducks I hunted to the Song family today. Wait for me."
Sun Changlei made up his mind to go out.
The door closed again. The tearful and weak beauty Song Jiayu wiped away her tears. To be honest, if she had not married a man who beat people when he was drunk in her previous life, her life would not be too bad with her ability. It's a pity that she lost her life because of such a man in her previous life.
The sound of her mother-in-law and Sun Changlei arguing could be heard outside, but Song Xiulan still managed to sit still.
She agreed not to allow Sun Changlei to sell his prey on the black market. After all, the black market has been strictly controlled in the past ten years.
But the two wild ducks were originally hunted by Sun Changlei in the mountains. Why couldn't she take them back to her parents' home? This mother-in-law was deliberately making things difficult for her and wanted to suppress her. Let's see who Sun Changlei will stand by.
The final result, of course, was that Song Xiulan won.
She walked out of the house, and her mother-in-law came back in anger.
There were two wild ducks, a dozen wrapped eggs, and a small jar of honey in the basket on Sun Changlei's back. Song Xiulan walked beside him, and the two of them talked and laughed as they entered the gate of the old Song family.
This time, Song Quanqing and Wei Meihua walked faster.
"Xiu Lan, you finally brought Chang Lei back. What took you so long? Was there something going on at home?" Wei Meihua asked Song Xiu Lan, actually looking at Sun Chang Lei.
The mother-in-law's eyes were not good, and Song Xiulan helped: "Mom, it's nothing, I went to bed late and got up late, and Chang Lei kept urging me to come early!"
Sun Changlei felt even more guilty towards Xiulan. What kind of husband was he? He couldn't let his wife live a good life at home, and he also asked her to help cover up for him outside.
The couple arrived late, but they were quite satisfied with what their son-in-law brought.
But no one in the main hall mentioned giving the two old people a share of these things, or perhaps they hadn't even thought about them at all. Wei Meihua packed up all the things and took them back home. Before leaving, she tentatively asked, "Dad, Mom, Quanqing's clothes are all worn out. Do you have any extra cloth at home so I can make him some clothes?"
Is this even a question? My eyes were fixed on the two pieces of cloth that had just arrived at the old couple's house.
Old Man Song frowned and said, "Jiayu sent two pieces of cloth, but the colors are not suitable. Let's talk about it after we get the cloth coupons."
Even though he didn't get the Wei Meihua, he just said, "Okay, I'll talk about it when I get some cloth coupons at home."
The whole family left the main house, leaving only two old people.
Old Mrs. Song sighed and asked her husband, "How could this happen? We are both so old, and not only is he unfilial, he also looks at us with so little. How could the eldest brother become like this?"
Old Man Song was open-minded: "It's all our fault for being too nice to the boss's family. It's become a habit. They always want to take advantage of us and never think of giving us anything good."
