Chapter 541: Fight between Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Being able to sit in the position of county magistrate at such a young age requires not only luck but also strength.
Ke Yunyun did not deny this, "My husband also admires Xiong Feng very much. Since you don't mind, why should I be hypocritical? I agree to this marriage!"
"What marriage did you agree to?"
A somewhat stern voice came from outside the door.
Su Tai looked over and saw an old lady in purple being escorted in by a group of people. She acted as if she was the mistress of the house.
Ke Yunyun put away her smile, lowered her eyelids, and called out indifferently, "Mother-in-law."
Zheng glared at Ke Yunyun with dissatisfaction, and then cast a sharp gaze on Su Tai, "Who is this..."
Su Tai and Zheng nodded politely and chuckled, "Junior Su Tai greets Old Madam Tang."
"Hmph! You are indeed a family without manners." Zheng was dissatisfied because Su Tai did not stand up to greet her.
Ke Yunyun put down the cup heavily and retorted without any courtesy, "She is the wife of the Minister of Works, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yong'an, and a relative of the Princess of Huai'an. Does the mother-in-law want to kill her husband by saying such things?"
Zheng was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the critical look in Su Tai's eyes instantly turned into fear and terror.
The eldest daughter-in-law Yang beside her hurriedly apologized to Su Tai, and complained to Ke Yunyun: "Sister-in-law, you are really a fool. You didn't even tell us in advance that there was a distinguished guest at home. If you had informed us earlier, we wouldn't have offended the distinguished guest."
Zheng reacted and agreed with Yang's statement.
Su Tai couldn't stand this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bullying Ke Yunyun. She didn't even look at Yang, but said to Ke Yunyun in a gentle voice: "You, why are you still as willful as an unmarried girl? If you have guests at home, please tell me, your cousin, so that I can bring some gifts. We can't neglect the guests.
By the way? When you bought this house, it was because your family was small, but now there are so many more people, can you accommodate them?"
Ke Yunyun glanced at Yang and said with a smile, "It's a bit crowded. After all, they are guests and it's not appropriate for them to stay in our house for long. We can just make do with it. It's almost time for us to go back after the New Year."
"Is that so?" Su Tai nodded in understanding. "That's right, Ah Cheng is old enough now, so it's time to get married next year."
Ke Yunyun's smile became even brighter.
The two of them sang in unison and successfully changed the faces of the Yang and Zheng families.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to the house with a lot of anger in their hearts.
Yang cried, "Mother, my sister-in-law is planning to drive us away! In order to support my brother-in-law's studies, we lived frugally and always put him first. Now that my brother-in-law has become rich, we poor relatives are useless."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Mr. Ke is too unreasonable! I'll talk to the second son when he comes back!" Zheng clenched her fists angrily. What she was thinking in her heart was that her old man passed away too early. If the old man was still alive, she would be able to deal with Mr. Ke with a tough attitude without having to worry about this or that.
Upon hearing this, Yang felt relieved again. She thought that she had to be more attentive. Only if she could appease Zheng would she have a reason to continue living in the Tang Mansion.
Since coming to the imperial capital and broadening her horizons, she doesn't want to go back to the countryside to live a miserable life.
Ke Yunyun was also talking to Su Tai about the situation of Zheng and Yang.
"Since my husband got promoted, he has been worried that the situation at home would be criticized. In the past two years, he has sent people to send things to his hometown. At the end of last year, my father-in-law passed away, and the old lady decided to come to live with her youngest son, and she even brought her son and his family with her.
We didn't receive the news until the people arrived in the imperial capital. We were caught off guard and could only temporarily settle them in the mansion.
As soon as the old lady came in, she wanted to be the boss of the household and found fault with me everywhere. I would not tolerate her. She made a scene in front of my husband, but my husband did not agree with her. After jumping around for a while, she realized that she could not get what she wanted, so she became obedient.
However, Yang is obviously very thoughtful. She often regards herself as the elder sister-in-law and always looks like she is preaching to me. She doesn't even look at herself. Is she qualified to preach to me?
My cousin was really awesome today. I was happy to see them get humiliated."
Su Tai shook her head helplessly, "This is not a solution. We still have to find a way to get rid of them."
Ke Yunyun nodded, "Not only do we think so, my husband also thinks so. He still hasn't gotten over what happened in the past. That's why the old lady doesn't have the confidence to make a fuss. But it's easier to invite a god than to send him away. I think they are planning to stay here and not leave.
Could my cousin give me some advice?"
Su Tai laughed in silence, "You are said to be smart, but now you are acting stupid. To put it bluntly, what can you do with Tang Yu's salary? This house is yours, the shop is yours, and the money to support the family is yours. You might as well discuss it with Tang Yu and kick him out first.
Wouldn't it be better if Tang Yu took them out to live a hard life for a few days and they behaved themselves?"
Ke Yunyun's eyes lit up, but she was a little worried, "What if the news gets out and everyone says I'm unfilial? Will it implicate the children?"
Su Tai pondered and said, "Find something to provoke them and let them take action first. Then you can make a big fuss and let everyone know that you have been wronged. It will be reasonable to kick them out later."
Ke Yunyun thought this was a good idea and immediately thanked Su Tai happily.
As soon as Tang Yu returned home, Zheng called him over.
"Second brother, your wife is getting more and more unreasonable! Today she even said she wanted to drive us away. What? Now that you are rich, you don't recognize me as your mother? If it weren't for our whole family saving money to support your studies, you would not be where you are today?"
Tang Yu could guess what happened as soon as he heard it, and he spoke slowly, "Yes! If my parents hadn't gone to the county government and made a scene, I wouldn't have lost my reputation and been forced to leave my hometown, and naturally this day wouldn't have come."
Zheng choked, her fingers trembling with anger, "So you blame me? We set the rules for your wife for your own good! She is from a humble background, and you work in the county government. What if she embarrasses you? All our good intentions turned out to be wrong?
What's wrong with us immediately arranging for you to marry a wife after your wife left? It's ok that you don't know how to be grateful, but you are so willful that you leave your parents and go far away. You are unfilial!"
Tang Yu slammed the table and looked at Zheng with a cold look, "So what? Why did mother call me here specially? To scold me for being unfilial?"
Zheng was very angry.
Yang, who was standing by, immediately spoke up, "Brother-in-law, I want you to take care of my sister-in-law. As a mother-in-law, she is disrespectful and doesn't look kindly upon me, her sister-in-law. If this gets out, people will think there is no hierarchy in our family!"
She heard all these when she came to the imperial capital.
Before Tang Yu could speak, Ke Yunyun came over with her servants.
"Wow! Sister-in-law's hat is so big that I'm a little afraid to wear it!"
