Although Zhou Dasheng was embarrassed, he still forced himself to say to Ning Huan, "Third sister-in-law, although you sold the meat to pay for your third brother's medical treatment, you should at least leave some for our parents."
“As your parents-in-law, you should know how to be filial to them.”
Just as Ning Huan was about to speak, she heard a voice from the doorway: "What's the use of being filial to your in-laws when your own man's life is hanging by a thread?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, Ning Huan discovered that the person was none other than the original owner's biological mother: Madam Pang.
In the original owner's memories, there were two younger brothers in the family, and their parents doted on them. Even so, because of the original owner's fiery temper, the two brothers were also extremely afraid of her.
Aside from her father not valuing her much, her mother did love her.
Because the original owner of this body used underhanded methods to marry Zhou Jing'an, she never had the face to return to her parents' home.
Even after Zhou Jing'an was injured and fell ill, and life became difficult, the original owner of this body did not go home.
Upon seeing Pang Shi, Ning Huan's eyes instantly reddened. She couldn't tell if it was the original owner's emotions or because she missed her family after transmigrating into this book.
Pang walked in through the door with a cold face and said to Zhou's mother, "Mother-in-law, although my daughter didn't enjoy a life of luxury after marrying into your family, you can't treat her like this."
"Her husband is sick, and she, as a woman, has to start thinking about how to earn a living?"
Upon seeing Pang, Zhou's mother stood up shakily, trying to regain some composure: "No one wants to humiliate her. It's just that the third son's family has been separated from us, and they should be self-reliant in everything. It has nothing to do with us."
Mrs. Pang nodded: "Alright, since you say you want to be self-reliant, then it's only right that my child earns money to support the family. Since you say it has nothing to do with you, then why did I just hear that you came over to rob her family's things?"
Zhou Yan interjected, "Mother-in-law, we didn't mean to take anything from my third sister-in-law. We just wanted her to give some things to our parents."
Upon hearing this, Pang burst out laughing.
She first chuckled softly, then burst into loud laughter.
Zhou Yan was so frightened by this situation that she dared not speak, and only turned to look at her mother: "Mother, has this mother-in-law gone mad?"
Pang's laughter stopped abruptly: "I think you're the ones who've gone mad. Do you think the Ning family is all dead? Haven't you heard that when we were working hard to earn money, you wanted to divide the family and kept saying it had nothing to do with you? Now that we're enjoying the good things, you're saying you want to be filial to your parents!"
"Let me tell you, even though Ning Huan is married into your Zhou family, she is still our Ning family's daughter. If you dare to bully her again, you'll regret it!"
As she spoke, Pang took a broom from the side of the yard, swung it, and headed towards Zhou's mother and Zhou Yan.
Startled, Zhou Yan screamed and quickly pulled her mother away.
Meanwhile, Zhou Dasheng, seeing the people pointing and whispering at him outside the door, led Liu and the others home without turning his head.
But he was very dissatisfied with Ning Huan and didn't think he had done anything wrong in what happened today.
The venison was originally meant for them, but he, as the eldest brother, didn't get any, and his parents wouldn't give any either. Ning Huan is such an ill-mannered woman.
He'll let it go today because his mother is backing him up, but if the Zhou family doesn't get any meat in the future, he won't be polite.
As Zhou Yan walked, she said angrily to her mother, "Mother, it's all that bitch Ning Huan's fault. There were so many good things in that box. If only I could have used them as my dowry!"
Zhou's mother chimed in, "And you're one to talk! I saw how beautiful the fabric in that box was, and I already had my eye on what clothes I wanted to make."
While Zhou Yan was scolding Ning Huan, she didn't forget Zhou Jing'an lying in the room: "Mother, don't talk about Ning Huan. I saw my third brother lying in the room, and he didn't say a word for us. So many good things, and he's such a filial son, not giving you a single thing!"
These words hit Zhou Dasheng right where it hurt. He snorted and said, "And you're still talking? The third brother's wife hunted venison, but I didn't hear him say he'd share any with us. Such a big deer, and he just sold it all!"
Just as the Zhou family members were cursing and swearing as they went home, Ke Ruxiu watched the commotion from the doorway and saw the whole thing.
She looked at the boxes piled up in the yard, her eyes filled with envy.
Although Ke Ruxiu's in-laws always saved the best things for her, and her husband would occasionally buy her exquisite trinkets while doing business outside.
But she felt that none of Zhou Jing'an's things were as good.
Although Ning Huan and Zhou Jing'an are now married, who can say that Zhou Jing'an can't remarry?
Ke Ruxiu had previously heard from Liu that Zhou Yan openly and secretly looked down on Ning Huan, her sister-in-law, so she could take the opportunity to curry favor with the Zhou family.
Then she would go to Zhou Jing'an's house, make him fall in love with her, and then divorce that ugly woman Ning Huan and marry her instead.
Thinking of this, Ke Ruxiu rolled her eyes at Ning Huan and then headed towards the Zhou family's house. She needed to comfort her future mother-in-law and sister-in-law first.
Seeing that the crowd had dispersed, Pang stepped forward and grabbed Ning Huan's hand.
"My daughter! I'm so glad to see you again. You've suffered so much for so long!"
Pang's enthusiasm caught Ning Huan off guard, and she felt extremely uneasy.
Although others might not find out that she is not the original owner of this body, as the original owner's biological mother, she definitely cannot hide it from them.
If Madam Pang discovered that she wasn't her beloved daughter, would she burn her alive as a monster?
Ning Huan thought silently, while Madam Pang continued, moved, "My daughter, you've grown up. You've managed this household so well."
The four little ones who had been hiding in the corner rushed up to Pang excitedly when they saw her: "Grandma, you're here! We missed you so much!"
Mrs. Pang happily hugged the four little ones and said, "Oh, my dear grandchildren, Grandma has come to see you!"
Zhou's mother disliked the four little ones and often helped Zhou Xiaofang bully them. The four little ones, having suffered a lot of grievances, disliked Zhou's mother, while Pang Shi doted on them.
Although she didn't come often, every time she did, she would bring delicious food for the four little ones and take care of them. The original owner of this body often scolded and beat the four little ones, and Pang would stop her and protect them.
Therefore, the four little dumplings especially liked Pang.
Just as the four little ones were hugging Pang tightly and talking, a male voice slowly said from behind, "You only miss your grandma, don't you miss me?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, the person who came was Ning Huan's third younger brother: Ning Liang.
