When Lin Ran saw Wang Lai Di just now, she suddenly remembered one of the things she had heard from Lin Meng.
If Wang Lai Di hadn't come over today, she would have almost forgotten about it.
In fact, she was skeptical before, but considering the Queen Mother's strange attitude today and her behavior of asking about Lin Lao San as soon as she came over.
It seems that what Lin Meng said is true.
But now that she knows it, she will never give anyone the opportunity to plot against Lin Lao San.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran looked at Wang Zhaodi with a complicated look.
To be honest, Wang Zhaodi's performance has been pretty good during this period.
She could hardly believe that this person would help the Queen Mother to commit evil.
Even Wang Zhaodi, who used to make trouble often, was only doing so because of some trivial matters.
But if it was simply out of foolish filial piety, then judging from these two times, she didn't realize how filial Wang Zhaodi was to the Queen Mother?
And at this moment, Lin Ran could clearly see the eagerness and pleading in Wang Zhaodi's eyes.
Obviously, she really didn't want her mother to come here every few days.
Maybe she even knew the Queen Mother's plan, so she was so anxious to find an excuse to prevent the Queen Mother from coming.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran, who was originally planning to remind Shen Wenfang privately, immediately whispered in a voice that Wang Zhaodi could hear:
"Mom, you said Aunt Wang brought her daughter here and specifically asked about Third Brother. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to Third Brother and wants to marry her daughter to him?"
While saying this, Lin Ran was secretly observing Wang Zhaodi out of the corner of her eyes.
Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Wang Zhaodi's face turned horrified and she looked at Shen Wenfang in panic.
Shen Wenfang was stunned for a moment, and then finally realized.
"I was wondering why she was talking strangely and her attitude was not right today.
In the past, all she kept talking about was how great her son Zhicai was and how much he praised him.
This is the first time I heard her praise her daughter like this.
So this is the idea?
If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have thought about it.”
As he spoke, Shen Wenfang's eyes became fierce and he immediately turned around to question Wang Zhaodi.
"Second son's wife, tell me the truth, is your mother really planning this? Don't tell me you don't know anything."
Wang Zhaodi knew she couldn't hide it any longer after hearing this, and she didn't want to hide it either, so she hesitated and said:
"Mom, I don't know much actually. She mentioned it to me last time when I came here. I thought she was joking, so I didn't take it seriously.
But who would have thought that she actually brought my third sister here today.
I knew you would definitely not agree, so I asked you to cook wild vegetable porridge just now.
If my mother sees that we are so poor that we can’t even afford to eat, she might give up the idea.”
When saying this, Wang Zhaodi's attitude was quite correct. She was afraid that Shen Wenfang would misunderstand that she was involved, so she tried her best to distance herself from it.
He even added a weak sentence at the end.
"I actually advised you not to stew the meat last time, but you didn't listen..."
Shen Wenfang almost cursed when she heard the last sentence. Did she think she was wrong in wanting to treat her mother well?
But now it seems that the reception was wrong.
She never thought that she stewed meat with good intentions to treat others, but ended up being remembered by them.
This feeling was like having a fish bone stuck in her throat. She couldn't swallow it, nor could she spit it out. It was so uncomfortable!
The only consolation may be that fortunately, daughter-in-law Wang Zhaodi's heart is still with her husband's family.
If that's the case, then she doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
So when dinner was served, Wang Mu and Wang Lai Di's faces turned green when they saw each of them had a bowl of lush green wild vegetable soup on the table.
But before the Queen Mother could react, Shen Wenfang started crying poor.
"Oh, I'm so sorry for not entertaining you well, mother-in-law, but we are really out of food at home.
It's also our fault that we acted so arrogantly last time, so that you wouldn't have to worry about Zhaodi's life in my house, and also to save face for our family.
Although I had nothing at home, I still temporarily borrowed some food and bacon from my neighbors.
I didn't feel anything when I borrowed it, but when I returned it later, I just used the last sweet potatoes left in my house.
So recently we've been really struggling to make ends meet, and all we can do is drink some wild vegetable soup to fill our stomachs."
The Queen Mother was skeptical.
"Don't fool me, dear mother-in-law. If your family is really struggling to make ends meet, how can you make a new coat for everyone?
Look at me, I've been wearing this coat for over ten years now. I don't know how many patches it has on it, and I don't have the money to buy a new one."
As she spoke, the Queen Mother's tone became sour, and she stared at Shen Wenfang's blue coat with envy.
Hearing this, Shen Wenfang sighed helplessly.
"Alas... there is no other way.
My niece is getting married at the end of this month, and my sister-in-law is a very proud person. If we go there dressed in rags, she will definitely think we are embarrassing and may even come back to make a scene.
We are also forced to do so!
In fact, we bought these clothes with borrowed cloth coupons and money, and we still haven't paid it back.
We were reluctant at first, but then we thought that we would have to buy this dress sooner or later anyway.
Even if I don’t buy it now, I will still buy it when Ranran proposes.
It’s better to buy it now. After all, if you save the clothes, they will still be new even if you wear them for a few years.”
Seeing that what Shen Wenfang said sounded like the truth, the Queen Mother was dumbfounded.
So I made a mistake?
