Chapter 686 Juanzi, I am Wenbin
"Oh, you don't know. I know that young man. He has been buying vegetables at the night market. It's Chinese New Year, so there are probably many people buying vegetables. He called his wife over to help. His sister came later. I heard that she came to borrow money from her brother. She didn't come alone. She brought her old woman with her. I was watching from the side just now. His sister and the old woman are really not ordinary people. They borrowed money from their brothers from their mother's family, and they were more confident than taking money from their own family. The brother didn't say anything, but the sister-in-law couldn't stand it and started to yell."
Since there was no way to get through anyway, Qin Juan became interested when she saw the old lady talking so excitedly.
"Since my sister-in-law is married, she is a member of another family. Even if her husband's family is in trouble and wants to ask her parents for help, she should discuss it with her brother and sister-in-law. After all, her brother and sister-in-law are a family now, and she should not bring her mother-in-law to quarrel with her brother and sister-in-law in the street."
"Who says it's not?"
The aunt also has children. Her daughter is married and her son has a wife. When she thinks about her daughter bringing her in-laws to fight with her son and daughter-in-law in the street over money, she won't do it even if she has flesh and blood on her hands.
"You didn't hear how badly the sister-in-law scolded her, calling her a slut, a slut, and a bitch that no one wants. Each word was more ugly than the last."
"Her sister-in-law allowed her to scold like that?"
Qin Juan suddenly felt a little sympathy for her sister-in-law.
If a woman is scolded like this by her sister-in-law in front of her husband, she must have suffered from bullying at her husband’s house.
She recalled the days when she was in Zhang's family.
Whether a woman can hold her head high and be a decent person in this family, and whether she can endure being wronged, all depends on the man’s attitude.
Just like she is now in the Jia family, if anyone says a word against her, Jia Liang will glare at them. Who would dare to make her angry?
Jia Liang often said that she entered the Jia family because of him, and since he married her, it was his responsibility to support her and protect her.
How many people don’t understand such a simple truth?
When the old lady heard her words, she slapped her thigh and said, "I thought so at first. After all, she is my sister-in-law. How can I let my sister-in-law scold me like that in the street? Later, I heard that this sister-in-law had something against her. She divorced her brother because she thought his brother was poor. Later, I don't know why she came back. They say that it's not a good deal to rush to him. Isn't she standing up to be humiliated? Otherwise, we have to walk this path ourselves."
As the two people were talking, the crowd around them dispersed.
The old lady was worried that Qin Juan might be bumped into, so she pulled her to the side.
Qin Juan also saw an old man and a young boy walking in the crowd.
The pupils suddenly shrank.
The lady next to her whispered in her ear, "These are the two people. The younger one is the vegetable seller, and the older one is her mother-in-law. As the saying goes, people from the same family are alike. This sister-in-law is not easy to mess with, and her mother-in-law is even more powerful. If this happened in someone else's family, how could a mother-in-law go to her daughter-in-law's house to ask for money? She is not afraid of breaking her spine, but she can do such a thing, right on the street, tut tut tut..."
Qin Juan looked at the old lady in the distance. She hadn't seen her for two years and could hardly recognize her.
It was her ex-mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.
In just two years, Mrs. Zhang has aged greatly. She used to have only gray hair at her temples, but now most of her head is white.
The fair and plump skin that I had always maintained became full of wrinkles because I lost so much weight.
Even his spine was bent.
The only things that hadn't changed were the fat on his face and the fierceness in his eyes.
Old Mrs. Zhang walked with her hands behind her back and a long face, complaining about the woman holding a child next to her.
"Our Zhang family is so unlucky that we found a daughter-in-law like you. You are good at eating and drinking for free, and you are not good at anything. Eating is your top priority. You don't even think about where you get your food with an agricultural household registration. It's my son who buys it for you. Now my son has lost his job, and you can't help at all. If I had known, I would never let you into our Zhang family no matter what. You are simply a jinx..."
The woman holding the child had been keeping her head down, but now she seemed to be fed up with what she said. She raised her head and said, "Mom, you are saying this without even thinking about how long Wenbin has been out of work. During this time, which of the food, drinks, and daily necessities in the family were not bought by me?"
"You bought it? What did you buy it with? It was the money our Wenbin earned before. Don't say you took it from your mother's family. Your brother and sister-in-law just acted like that. They almost ate me up. Who would believe you if you said it was money from your mother's family?"
At this point, Mrs. Zhang thought of something and snorted coldly again.
"Aren't your sister-in-law and your brother divorced? Why is she still meddling in your family's affairs? I think she should be beaten out with a stick. How can she be so arrogant here? I heard that your brother's child was lost by your sister-in-law. You still want her after all? It's really embarrassing..."
"I'm telling you, this matter is not over today. Who did your sister-in-law scold just now? I, an old lady, will not fall for her tricks. Not to mention 20 yuan, even if it's 200 yuan, I won't forgive you. You'd better think it over. When Wenbin comes, I can still say something good for you. Otherwise, you and the money-loser in your arms, get out of here and go back to your parents' home. We, the Zhang family, are not fools who feed you two mouths for nothing every day..."
"Mom, you've seen it too. My brother and his family are really out of money..."
Qin Juan looked at the two people passing by indifferently, and glanced at the even more harsh face of Old Lady Zhang, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
She used to scold her and her daughter like this, but now that she knows her second brother is promising, she would ask for help from her mother's family in some subtle ways.
Qin Juan knew the true face of the Zhang family, and no matter what she did, she would not drag her mother's family into the water.
Just as she was thinking about it, a figure came running from a distance and soon arrived in front of Old Mrs. Zhang.
"Mom, why are you here? I heard you had a quarrel with someone, what happened?"
Seeing that Old Mrs. Zhang was fine, Zhang Wenbin turned with a cold face and looked at Li Dongmei beside him.
The sharp gaze froze suddenly when it swept over the people in the crowd nearby.
As if afraid that he had seen it wrong, he rubbed his eyes again, "Juanzi..."
Qin Juan wanted to leave after seeing Zhang Wenbin, but before she took a step, she heard the man calling her and realized that she had been seen by them.
She pushed the cart forward without saying a word, as if she didn't hear the other person's voice at all.
I had only taken two steps when I heard footsteps behind me and someone pulled my bicycle.
"Let go," Qin Juan's voice was cold and her eyes were even colder.
Zhang Wenbin stood there in a daze, the surprised expression on his face frozen because he was too shocked.
As if he was not sure whether the woman in front of him who was speaking harshly was his former timid wife, he murmured again, "Juanzi, I am Wenbin."
