Chapter 16: There is murderous intent in the mother-in-law's eyes
Li Xiuli smiled and said modestly, "I'm not a troublemaker. I'll teach you slowly. What else can I do?"
The eldest brother’s wife is really good, there is nothing much to say.
This second daughter-in-law...
Oh, I won’t say anymore.
It's not like this when you first get married.
After being married for a while, all kinds of problems start to appear.
Zhao Honghua knew Xiu Li was very satisfied with her two daughters-in-law, so she smiled and said, "As long as they don't have any serious problems, you can teach them slowly. Everyone has been through that age before."
"That's what you said." Li Xiuli responded, but did not forget the previous topic.
"Take care of yourself. I see you've become so skinny."
"Zi Qiang can't rely on his father, the only one he can rely on is you. If you are not well, what will you let Zi Qiang do?"
Li Xiuli was filled with rage when she thought of Chen Ziqiang, that useless father of hers.
If this were her man, and he dared to be lazy and not take care of anything, she would chop him to pieces with a knife.
But Honghua has been weak since childhood and can't do anything cruel, so she can only be bullied.
Fortunately, Ziqiang is a good guy, otherwise what hope would Honghua have in this life?
Of course Zhao Honghua knew that Xiu Li was worried about her. A warm feeling spread throughout her body, slowly soaking into her cold limbs.
"I know. I'll eat as soon as I get back," she said.
She really hasn't eaten much these days.
There is not much food left at home, we have to eat sparingly!
But Xiu Li was right. What would happen to Zi Qiang if she starved to death?
She has to live, live well.
Even if that loser Chen Jiefang died, she couldn't die.
Seeing that her friend took it to heart, Li Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief and patted her arm.
"Life is difficult, but if you bear it, you will get through it. There is no hurdle that you can't overcome!"
The hardest times are over.
Shouldn’t the next thing be the dawn that Tangtang mentioned?
Zhao Honghua nodded.
A faint light burst out from those eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.
Without a strong mother-in-law and sisters-in-law to protect her, she can only rely on herself.
Thinking of Wu Chunhua who was scolded by Lin Tang's grandmother yesterday, Zhao Honghua lowered her voice and said:
"Xiu Li, did you hear what happened yesterday afternoon?"
"What's the matter?" Li Xiuli looked confused.
I went home yesterday, had dinner and went to sleep.
I've been busy since morning till now, but she hasn't heard anything.
"Your mother-in-law scolded Wu Chunhua yesterday and poured water on her head.
Wu Chunhua didn't dare to say a word and even slapped herself several times.
Zhao Honghua was a little envious.
I wish she had such a powerful and protective mother-in-law.
It's a pity that not only are her parents-in-law unkind to her, but she has also long been reduced to a pile of dirt.
"My mother-in-law taught Wu Chunhua a lesson, and Wu Chunhua contradicted herself?" Li Xiuli exclaimed.
Is this true?
It’s so... gratifying!!
She is worthy of being my mother-in-law!
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. Your mother-in-law is so nice." Zhao Honghua said with emotion.
Having a mother-in-law who doesn't do much of this and who protects others' shortcomings is a blessing one must have accumulated over several lifetimes!
Li Xiuli also thought her mother-in-law was very nice and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my mother-in-law is indeed very nice."
I just have a bad temper, but that's not important.
I have to give more meat to my mother-in-law tonight.
After the mother-in-law took action, there were not many people in the village who dared to speak ill of Tangtang openly.
A ruthless man who could kill a wild boar with just a few punches.
But not everyone dares to provoke him.
After joining the brigade, Li Xiuli and Zhao Honghua separated.
Zhou Mei looked back and saw that her mother-in-law had turned into a human. She hurriedly handed the farm tools in her hand to her sister-in-law and ran to her mother-in-law.
"Mom, I want to pick up Hutou and Niuniu, is that okay?"
Li Xiuli had guessed this would happen, and she looked at Zhou Mei with a stern face.
"You know to accept it now? What are you thinking of? You keep leaving the children at their parents' house. Is it because our Lin family can't afford to raise Hutou and Niuniu or what?"
This daughter-in-law really made her at a loss for words.
Other people's daughters-in-law always try their best to move the good things from their husband's family to their parents' family.
Her family doesn't do that. Instead, they go to her parents' home every day to beg for money.
Just go back to my parents' house from time to time to search for some things.
And I always send my two children to Old Zhou's house to eat...
She had told him this countless times, but he was quick to admit his mistake.
But he just doesn’t change and continues doing it next time.
If she hadn't given the Zhou family a lot of subsidies, she would have felt that the Lin family had lost face.
Zhou Mei didn't think anything of it and said calmly:
"Of course we can afford to raise them. Isn't that what my mother wants, Hutou and Niuniu?
The old man insisted that I leave the child behind, what can I say? "
How could Li Xiuli not know that she was being fooled again, so she spat.
"Alright, save me that nonsense. Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Go ahead and pick them up if you want. Don't forget to bring the children's food with you. Don't let your family suffer any loss."
"...Get food?" Zhou Mei raised her voice slightly.
"What are you taking? Hutou and Niuniu can't eat much. I won't take anything. I still want to..."
I'm trying to find some good stuff from my mother's house...
Sensing a murderous aura, her words immediately stopped.
Hiss, there is murderous intent in mother-in-law's eyes! !
Meeting Li's mother's eyes that were gathering fire, Zhou Mei quickly changed her words:
"Mom, you're right. I have to get it. I'll go back and get it right away." After saying that, he ran towards home.
Ahhh, my mother-in-law is so scary!
My wife is scared to death...
Ning Xinrou lagged behind by a few steps. When she came over, she saw that her mother-in-law looked a little strange. "Mom, what's wrong? Did my sister-in-law make you angry again?"
The word "又" is also very soulful.
Li Xiuli took a deep breath and exhaled.
She felt that sooner or later she would be angered to death by her second son's wife.
"Let's not talk about that club anymore. Let's go home."
I was worried that Zhou Mei would take another damaged and blackened sweet potato to Old Zhou's house.
She walked quickly towards home, raising a gust of wind on her way.
It's not that she is overthinking, it's just that her stupid wife is capable of doing such a thing.
Isn’t Zhou Mei picking and choosing in the cellar?
If other people go back to their parents' home, they will try their best to get some good things. But the daughter-in-law of the Lin family is different.
Generally, people don't want to bring things, but if you have to bring something, then it must be something not of good quality.
When Li Xiuli heard Goudan say that his second aunt had gone to the cellar, she put down the things in her hands and went to the cellar without even washing her hands.
The cellar was dug in a sunny and sheltered place in the backyard and was square in shape.
It contains ingredients such as sweet potatoes and cabbage.
At this moment, Zhou Mei was squatting on the ground with her back to the cellar entrance, picking and choosing.
The point is - she is picking such a bad one.
"This one's cracked, this one looks damaged, and this one looks a bit shabby... Take it, take it, it's a bargain for Old Zhou's family..."
She put the not-so-good ones into the basket, muttering to herself in dissatisfaction.
Li Xiuli was listening to her mumbling from behind and was so angry that she laughed.
"...It's just a bargain for the Zhou family. It would be better not to give them anything..." She said this expressionlessly.
