Chapter 1047 Troublemaker
Shen Liang received the news and came to Zhuangzi the next day.
Zhang Juexia directly told Shen Liang what Madam Zhang was planning, "Has the Zhang family been quiet lately?"
Shen Liang immediately understood what Zhang Juexia meant, “Madam, I was careless.
Originally, I just thought that these were just matters between the women in the house, so I didn't ask too much attention to them.
Don't worry, after I get back, I'll make sure that old man doesn't even have time to leave the house."
“Well, this must be done.
However, you should first investigate where Old Madam Zhang got the confidence to ask me to return the manor."
“Okay, I’ll check now.
Madam, please don't be angry!"
"Why should I be angry? Being angry is bad for your health."
"It's best that Madam thinks so."
After Shen Liang left, he went to find Qin Eryong. He chatted with Qin Eryong for a few words about family matters and then returned to the city.
Mrs. Zhang hasn't slept well since she returned home yesterday.
She didn't get any benefit from Zhang Juexia, and she even splashed tea on her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.
After much thought, she felt that since she could bear this, it would be most appropriate to tell her granddaughter about it.
Then, he asked his granddaughter to talk to her father-in-law who was an official. As long as her relative-in-law, who was a sixth-rank official, came forward, Zhang Juexia would be in trouble.
The more Mrs. Zhang thought about it, the better she felt this was an excellent idea. So, she wrote a letter overnight and secretly had it delivered to the capital.
Old Madam Zhang felt that her granddaughter must be thinking of her. After all, when her granddaughter got married, she, as the grandmother, took the lion's share of the dowry.
After the letter was sent out, Mrs. Zhang counted the days on her fingers at home, waiting for the reply.
As for going to the government office to sue Zhang Juexia, she was just saying it casually.
At her age, how could she have the courage to go to the government to file a complaint?
The most important thing is that she knew very well that even if she took the matter to the government office, she would not win, and in the end she would end up like Butler Zhang.
Thinking of Butler Zhang, she couldn't help but sigh.
I wonder if he is doing well?
However, she is in a difficult situation now, so how can she have the energy to care about him?
Maybe because of her old age, Mrs. Zhang started to curse the housekeeper Zhang as she thought about it. If he had not done anything wrong, she would not have lost her position as the housekeeper of the Zhang family.
In fact, when it comes down to it, she never looks for the reasons in herself. The reason she is not allowed to be the housekeeper is because she is old.
Logically speaking, as she is older, she should take the initiative to give up the housekeeping power.
Just like Old Madam Shen, she handed the family over to her daughter-in-law, and she herself could live a few years of good life in peace and quiet.
But Mrs. Zhang didn't think so. She always felt that if she lost her power as housekeeper, no one in the family would listen to her.
But even now, it has come true.
Ever since she stopped taking care of the household, no one in the family really listens to her anymore.
After she recovered from her illness, she went to her son to make a fuss, but no one paid any attention to her.
Originally, her daughter-in-law Li Mengdie would go to her yard and talk to her. But ever since she had a fight with Zhang Yiru, Li Mengdie had never been to her yard again.
When Mrs. Zhang thought of this, she gnashed her teeth in anger.
The daughters-in-law of other families all set rules in front of their mothers-in-law, but she stays away from them every day. No, she has to go to the patriarch and have a good talk with him.
Before she even stood up, Li Mengdie came running over angrily, "Are you going to stop until you've completely destroyed the Zhang family?"
Zhang Yiru followed closely behind Li Mengdie. Old Madam Zhang looked at Zhang Yiru aggrievedly, "Son, I am your mother!
Do you tolerate your wife talking to me like this?"
Li Mengdie didn't even give Zhang Yiru a chance to speak. "If he can't tolerate it, let him get out!"
Madam Zhang jumped up from her chair, "Li Mengdie, what did you say?
Believe it or not, I will let my son divorce you!"
"I'm afraid you all have the heart, but not the courage!
Besides, I haven't done anything wrong. If you divorce me, where will the Zhang family's reputation be?"
"You are unfilial to your parents, and that's not a big deal!
Son, hurry up and bring the divorce letter so she can go back to her parents' home!"
Zhang Yiru looked at her own mother, whose face looked like old tree bark, and felt very disgusted.
Originally, his wife said that his mother treated her harshly, but he didn't believe it. Now he believes it.
"Mom, how long will you stop making trouble?!"
Old Madam Zhang was stunned. In the past, when she lost her temper, her son would still listen to her.
how?
She pointed at Zhang Yiru and said, "Son, what are you afraid of?
She treated me like this, and you still don't divorce her!
Are you going to wait until she shits on your mother's head before you intervene?
"That's enough, mother. You are a lady from a wealthy family, yet you can say such rude words.
I asked you, did you go out yesterday?"
Madam Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going out.
how?
Do I have to report to you before I go out?"
Li Mengdie curled her lips and said, "Mom, don't be so harsh. You don't need to report to us when you go out.
You are the old lady of this family, so you can go out whenever you want and leave whenever you want.
But, when you went out yesterday, did you watch your mouth?
"My mouth is in my body, I can say whatever I want.
You guys can’t control it?”
“We can’t do anything about it, but when you speak, you have to consider your grandchildren.
Your eldest grandson is looking for a marriage partner!
After hearing what you said on the street yesterday, they came to cancel the engagement today as originally agreed."
"That's because their daughter is unlucky!
My grandson will marry a girl from a better family in the future."
"Mom, do you know which family your grandson is considering marrying?"
"Which one?"
"Shen family!"
"Even his Shen family is failing, why are you still considering theirs?"
Li Mengdie pointed at Zhang Yiru and said, "Look, this is what your mother said.
Originally, I didn’t believe it, but now, I really believe it.
She...”
Li Mengdie glared at Zhang Yiru angrily, "You talk to her!"
"Mom, who told you that the Shen family is in trouble?"
“Is that even necessary?
Liu Wan has moved to a farm in the countryside to live."
"Just because Madam Shen moved to the countryside, you think she's no longer capable?
Have you ever thought about whether people would like to live in the countryside?"
“I’m old now, and I can’t think that much anymore.
I tell you, don’t blame me anymore.
Anyway, I've sold most of my dowry, and the money has been used to support your children."
"Aren't our children your grandchildren?
We are all members of the Zhang family, so we will prosper together and suffer together!
Originally, the Shen family did not look down on our family because of the friendship between you and the old lady.
Now, you can no longer be related to the Shen family. In the future, even if your grandson wants to find a wife, it will be difficult."
