Xingxing looked at her sister-in-law's round almond-shaped eyes, which were wide with anger. She looked as if she wanted to eat her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, suppressed her anger, and silently repeated to herself three times that she must not lose her temper.
A smile appeared on her face. "Sister-in-law, why are you so angry so early this morning? Didn't you understand what Mom said? I suggest you listen carefully first."
When the eldest sister-in-law heard Xingxing say this, she immediately stood up and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, I think Mom should tell you about our family's recent situation. The family needs you now, shouldn't you do something for the family? Besides, it's not a big deal. We just want you to talk to your sister and take care of signing the contract. We won't harm your sister even if she's a bitch. Besides, this is a legitimate business, not something that's out of the question. It's just that we need the Jiang family to advance the funds first. This is the only thing our family can't do, so we asked you to help contact the Jiang family to do it together. Why wouldn't you want to do something that benefits both sides? Is something that's easy for you so difficult?"
Xingxing immediately followed up on her sister-in-law's words, saying, "You're right, it's quite difficult." She nodded as she spoke, "If it was just because of the advance payment, I don't think you would have thought of bringing the Jiang family in. There must be some unspoken reason, right? Sister-in-law, I'm also a member of our family. Do you think it's fun to trick me like this?"
The sister-in-law was speechless after being confronted by Xingxing. She was so embarrassed that she turned to look at her mother-in-law.
Old Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips, stood up as if she had made some important decision, walked to Xingxing, and knelt down in front of her without saying anything. Xingxing was so frightened that she quickly moved away. Then she walked over from the side and tried to pull her mother-in-law up, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her up.
She was pregnant and didn't dare to pull hard. She just looked at her mother-in-law kneeling in front of her, and her forehead was sweating anxiously. In desperation, she looked up at her father-in-law, and unexpectedly, her father-in-law was also looking at her.
This really confused Xingxing. Did the whole family discuss this in advance? They were resorting to this method just because she didn't agree? This wasn't just asking her to come back and take care of the baby; this was a swearing-to-win situation!
Xingxing looked at her mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground, her father-in-law with calculating eyes, her sister-in-law who was about to explode as soon as she opened her mouth, and several other sisters-in-law. For the first time, she felt regretful about marrying into the Zhao family.
The eldest and second brothers were twins, so naturally they were close to their elder sisters-in-law. The third and fourth brothers were also twins. They were both young men who had gone to the countryside and had only returned to the city last year. Although their wives were from the countryside, they were both very obedient. Furthermore, the third and fourth sisters-in-law were from the same place, so naturally, the sisters-in-law were the closest. Xingxing had learned about these relationships the first time she and Zhao Youqian came to the Zhao family's house. Back then, she had thought that since she only came back once or twice a year for Chinese New Year, it didn't matter to her who was close to whom. But now, it seems that's not the case.
After thinking so much, it was actually just a few seconds of thought. Xingxing saw through the situation and stopped reaching out to pull Old Lady Zhao.
You cannot be too happy or too sad when you are pregnant. If your mother-in-law likes to kneel, then let her kneel. Even if her knees are broken, she will not agree.
The third and fourth sisters-in-law should have the lowest status in this family, which can be seen from their sitting positions.
