Chapter 68 A bucket of cold water
Sun was hurt by her sister-in-law's ruthless tone, but she still did not forget her purpose. She suppressed her sadness and said to her sister-in-law:
"Sister-in-law, I have found a good match for my nephew. But you have to figure it out on your own and find a way to make it happen. I am stuck in the middle, so it is not convenient for me to speak."
Sun's words aroused the interest of her sister-in-law Cao, but Cao didn't really trust Sun because in the eyes of Sun's eldest sister-in-law Cao Qiugui, basically everyone in the Sun family was worthless.
This includes her own children and her sister-in-law, Sun.
Although Cao Qiugui's family members inevitably favored their son and gave priority to his benefits in the family, they also raised their daughter as a living person.
But the Sun family's attitude towards their son and daughter is so different that it is frightening.
Sun Ming had two older brothers, and she was the third child, the eldest daughter of the Sun family. But her name was still Sun Zhaodi.
According to the old couple of the Sun family, the more sons, the better. However, daughters are really not popular. Even if there is only one, it is a waste of money.
It’s a pity that Sun’s Zhaodi is simply a jinx!
Since she was born, not only did she not have a younger brother, but she also had several younger sisters one after another.
The younger sisters after Sun were called Pan Di, Nian Di, Yin Di, and Laidi...
If the old lady of the Sun family had not died suddenly of an acute illness, the line of "Di" might have been much longer.
Cao Qiugui was well-known in the surrounding villages for her intelligence and ability. The Sun family came to propose marriage and offered a dowry of thirty taels of silver, which was far above the market price at the time, before they married Cao Qiugui.
Sun's eldest brother also tried to attack Cao Qiugui, but on the one hand, Cao Qiugui had been used to doing farm work since she was a child, and her strength was no less than that of men; on the other hand, Cao Qiugui was hot-tempered and not afraid of shame, so when Sun's eldest brother slapped her, she took a kitchen knife and fought him to the death.
He chased Boss Sun from one end of the village to the other, making the whole village laugh at him.
Afterwards, the couple clashed several times, with Sun Lao Da and Cao Qiugui winning and losing alternately. In the end, they reached a delicate balance.
Boss Sun adhered to the bottom line and did not attack Cao Qiugui, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the desperate attack of this tiger old woman; Cao Qiugui also worked diligently and served Boss Sun's family comfortably.
In Cao Qiugui's opinion, life is like this for every household, so there is nothing wrong with doing more work; but you can't bully me, even if I kill you and pay with my life, I won't let you bully me!
Cao Qiugui, the tough eldest sister-in-law of the Sun family, is not a bad person, but she is not a good person either.
At least when her own son was beating up his daughter-in-law, she only intervened twice at the beginning.
But that daughter-in-law was a pushover. Not only could she not stand up like her, she was even like Sun, unable to tell the difference between inside and outside.
Cao Qiugui gave up after taking care of the child twice. As a result, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a granddaughter and a grandson for her, but she could not stand the torture from her son and jumped into the river.
Cao Qiugui had regretted it before, but the thought only flashed through her mind twice before she let it go.
As a mother-in-law, she thought that she had never made her daughter-in-law angry.
Although my son is a bad guy, he takes after the Sun family. He is bad at heart and has never treated women as human beings since he was young.
If she herself were not fierce and aggressive, her life would probably not be much better than that of her daughter-in-law.
This old Sun family is a shitty place!
If a foreign woman wants to survive here, she must either be very strong and aggressive, or very timid and tolerant. She must be one of the two.
Daughters of the Sun family, like Sun Zhaodi, have also become accustomed to a life where women are not treated as human beings.
They don't treat other women as human beings, nor do they treat themselves as human beings.
So Cao Qiugui, from the bottom of her heart, looked down upon the Sun family.
But she was sure of Sun's loyalty to the Sun family. Even if she treated Sun badly, Sun would not be reluctant to not come back.
But, can Sun's vision be reliable? Cao Qiugui didn't hold much hope, so she just listened to what Sun said, which wouldn't cost her much.
Seeing Cao's indifferent attitude, Sun felt very upset. But for the sake of her nephew, she still told her guess as if it were true. At the end, she also gave her sister-in-law Cao an extra instruction:
"Sister-in-law, the Xia family has kept this matter a secret and will never let a single word out.
If you want to propose marriage, just say that you heard that the Xia and Xie families broke off the engagement, but don't mention that Xia Yujiao can't have a baby. I came here with good intentions to tell you, but don't sell me out the moment you turn around!
In fact, for my eldest nephew, not being able to have children actually has its advantages. Apart from other things, if she can give birth to her own children, how can she be good to my nephew? Sister-in-law, do you think this is the case? "
Cao Qiugui curled her lips:
"Third sister, you have a beautiful idea!
But do you think that our Sun family can match your Xia family?
Besides, considering the thoughts of your father, your brother, and your nephew, would they be willing to have a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a child?"
Sun was anxious. Why was it different from what she had imagined?
When the sister-in-law heard such good things, instead of being grateful to her, she mocked her?
Sun grabbed Cao Qiugui's sleeve and refused to let go:
"Sister-in-law, why are you so stupid?
Xia Yujiao is so pretty, even more attractive than our Pan Di, and her skin is whiter and tenderer than our Laidi!
Even if she can't give birth to a child, based on her appearance, I don't believe my nephew would dislike her!
Besides, our life is so hard!
In order to marry you and my second sister-in-law, and also to find wives for several nephews, didn’t our Sun family owe a lot of debt?
My parents-in-law prepared a lot of dowry for Xia Yujiao.
If she is short of money in the future, the old couple will not want her to suffer and will help her fill the gap.
This is such a good thing! How can you be so careless, sister-in-law?"
Cao Qiugui was so angry at Sun that she almost laughed:
"Third sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but what's wrong with your brain?
You also know that our family lives a hard life, right?
Since your parents-in-law love your sister-in-law so much as you said, would they be willing to marry her into our family and let her suffer?
Your sister-in-law is the treasure of your parents-in-law! They treat her like the apple of their eye and value her more than their own eyes! How could they not find out about the specific situation of our family first?
Besides, don’t forget that she was originally engaged to the Xie family!
Even though the engagement has been cancelled, will they be willing to give in if they don't find someone better than the Xie family? Our Sun family is far behind your Xia family in terms of living standards, so how can we compare to the Xie family?
Even if you don't consider the fact that you love your daughter, it's hard to accept it just for the sake of face, right?"
Sun felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and her heart suddenly felt cold.
Oh my god, Xia Daohua has been put on ice again. Xia Daohua burst into tears: If there are no more recommendation votes, I will be locked in the space supermarket and can't get out!
Hehe, please vote for the female recommendation, please leave your paw prints, love you guys, (づ￣ 3￣)づ!
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
PS, this book will be on the shelves soon. If nothing unexpected happens, it is expected to be released on V on April 1st. I hope everyone will still be there by then.
