Chapter 1010: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Fight
Madam Zhang looked at her son in disbelief. "Even you blame me?"
Zhang Yiru argued unconvincedly, "Mom, how could I blame you? I was telling the truth."
"What truth? I don't believe it. I only believe Butler Zhang. Isn't it thanks to him that our Zhang family has been able to thrive for so many years?"
"Mom, I think you are really getting old and confused. Zhang Zhong has admitted it in the government office. Do you know how many kilograms of grain our farm can harvest in a year?
Do you know how much Zhang Zhong took privately?
Madam Zhang slapped Zhang Yiru in the face and said, "Stop talking. I said Butler Zhang is right!
"Clear water means no fish. You don't even understand this simple truth. You're a scholar!"
Zhang Yiru covered his slapped face and chuckled, "Scholar, I am still a scholar, but without fame and honor, I am no longer a scholar.
Mom, you are old and confused, so just take good care of yourself!
This family should be handed over to my wife to take care of."
Madam Zhang stared at Zhang Yiru like a madman, "So that bitch really asked you to come? Does she just want me to die sooner?
I can't tell you that she can take over our Zhang family, unless I really die, don't even think about it."
"Why are you so angry? You're sick, so just take care of yourself."
The seventh old master of the Zhang family came in supported by someone. He snorted coldly and glared at Old Madam Zhang, "Yi Ru's mother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but how can you run this family like this?
If Zhang Zhong hadn't confessed today, we would have been kept in the dark!"
Madam Zhang no longer had the arrogance she had just now. She politely greeted the Seventh Old Master, but her words remained unchanged, "Seventh Old Master, to be honest, Butler Zhang was wronged.
He is the most loyal to me, how could he do something that is unfair to me?"
"Hmph, Yi Ru's mother, stop hiding it. Zhang Zhong has confessed everything himself, and you still say he is loyal to you.
You say that Zhang Zhong was wrongly accused, so aren't you questioning the prefect's ability to solve cases?
If you really care about our Zhang family, don't say such things in the future.
It's obviously your fault for not managing the household properly, so we won't pursue the matter.
Now that you are sick, just stay at home and recuperate!
From now on, the power of the family will be handed over to Yi Ru's wife!
You are not young anymore, so enjoy your life!"
Madam Zhang felt her chest ache again. She opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the Seventh Old Master of the Zhang family spoke again, "You've been in charge of the family for so many years, and you haven't seen any progress in the Zhang family.
I have sold almost all of your dowry. It’s okay if people know about it, but if people don’t, they might think you have ulterior motives!
Okay, stop explaining. If your children dare to be unfilial to you, the clan will uphold justice for you.
However, as a mother-in-law, you should let go when it’s time to do so.
Do you understand? "
The Seventh Old Master kept staring at Old Madam Zhang until she nodded, and then he was satisfied and ready to leave.
"Okay, I'm tired, I have to go back.
Don't think too much, the important thing is to take good care of your body.
As for that dog slave Zhang Zhong, he's been exiled three thousand miles away, so let him fend for himself out there!"
Mrs. Zhang couldn't catch her breath and fainted again.
The Zhang family was in chaos again, and the Seventh Old Master took the opportunity to slip away.
Zhang Yiru's wife, Li Mengdie, had heard the news long ago and was waiting for the Seventh Old Master at the door. She first bowed, said a few polite words, and then winked at the nanny next to her.
The nanny took out a purse from her pocket and handed it to the Seventh Old Master. "Thank you for your kind words to our young lady today. When our young lady takes charge of the family, she will definitely need your help."
The Seventh Old Master weighed the purse in his hand and said to Li Mengdie with satisfaction, "My dear daughter-in-law Yi Ru, after what happened with Zhang Zhong, I'm afraid your mother-in-law will be useless in the future.
You must manage the household well from now on."
"Old Master, don't worry, Mengdie will never forget your cultivation."
"well!"
The Seventh Old Master walked out of the Zhang family with a square step and a swagger.
Li Mengdie pouted at the Seventh Old Master's back and said, "There's not a single good person in the entire Zhang family.
The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked, and all you see is silver."
The nanny beside Li Mengdie also complained, "I don't think anyone in the Zhang family is good.
My lady, you have finally come to the end of your suffering.
When we return to the Li family, Madam will definitely be happy for you."
"Alas, I have lived for most of my life, and only now have I gained the power to head the family.
I’m afraid there are only a few people like you in the entire Qingfeng City, and I, your young lady, am one of them.
The problem is that the Zhang family is now just an empty shell. It looks bright and beautiful on the outside, but it's actually rotten inside."
"My lady, please don't say that.
Your best days are yet to come!"
"I hope so! Mammy, let's not be too happy too soon. The most urgent thing now is to get the account book and the house key from my mother-in-law. This is serious business."
"Yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away."
"Mammy, remember to be generous to them. If they like to drink, let them drink."
"My lady, don't worry!
I promise to get the job done for you."
Li Mengdie stared at her nanny's back in a daze. If it weren't for the footsteps in front of her, she would have remained in a daze.
She withdrew her gaze and looked carefully in front of her. It turned out that the person who came was the doctor who came to treat her mother-in-law.
Li Mengdie immediately put on a smiling face and went forward to inquire about her mother-in-law's condition.
The doctor sighed, "This man is old and his health is not as good as before.
Don't make her angry as much as possible and don't let her take charge of things. As long as she is not provoked, there will be no problem temporarily.
However, if I get angry again, it’s hard to say.”
Li Mengdie understood what the doctor said, and pretended to care about her mother-in-law, and asked the doctor how to better take care of the patient.
The doctor was very satisfied with Li Mengdie's approach. "If the patients' families were all like Madam Zhang, we doctors would have much less worries!"
Li Mengdie's image as a good daughter-in-law has been established to the outside world.
All that was left was to perform in front of her family. She had already learned a lot of tricks from her mother-in-law and was just waiting to show them off one by one.
After seeing the doctor off, Li Mengdie went to Madam Zhang's bedroom. After entering, she didn't even look at her and started looking for what she was looking for.
The maidservant who served Madam Zhang was angry but dared not say a word. She just watched Li Mengdie rummaging through the drawers.
Li Mengdie took what she wanted and waved it casually, "Listen, everyone, I will be the head of this family from now on.
Whether you accept it or not, I will be the head of this family."
