But no matter how favored she was, she could not surpass her brother, so naturally the other two rooms in the house belonged to her brother!
But Zhang Yueying also insisted on living on her own, and Zhang's parents had no choice but to partition off a small room for her in the living room!
The living room at that time was very different from the large living rooms in later generations. It was very small, just enough to fit a large dining table where the whole family could sit down and eat!
So, in order to separate this small room for her, the Zhang family’s dining table is very small, the whole family has to stand while eating, and the lighting in the living room is not good!
Zhang Yueying's younger brother naturally didn't have his own room, and had to squeeze into the master bedroom with Zhang's father and mother!
Therefore, the Zhang family is very anxious about Zhang Yueying's marriage, because if Zhang Yueying gets married, the Zhang family will benefit from one person's success, and Zhang Yueying's younger brother will have a place to get married!
Seeing Zhang Yueying running back crying, Zhang's mother hurried forward and asked:
"Yueying, why are you back? Didn't you say Gu Yanting was back? Why are you guarding the Gu family?"
"Why do you keep crying the more you talk, kid? Gu Yanting left again?"
"What's the big deal? Isn't he always busy? Being busy is not a good thing. You are wrong. Your husband is busy with his career outside, and you are always crying. If your Aunt Gu sees you, she will be unhappy!"
"Mom, let me tell you, in life, it is certainly important to make your man happy, but you have to consider your mother-in-law's feelings more, especially for a family like the Gu family!"
Zhang Yueying had already been humiliated today, and now her mother came to teach her a lesson. Zhang Yueying said angrily:
"Mom, what do you know? It's not what you said!"
Mother Zhang said anxiously:
"What's going on? Tell me. Were you bullied by Gu Yanting?"
"It's broad daylight, and there are many members of the Gu family. This shouldn't happen!"
"It's okay. Don't be afraid of being bullied. Mom will call your dad, brother, and sister-in-law to go to the Gu family to ask for an explanation!"
If Zhang Yueying really has something going on with Gu Yanting, that would be more than just a good thing, it would be something that would make the whole family happy!
So, upon hearing what Zhang's mother said, the eldest and second sisters-in-law of the Zhang family came out of the house, and they couldn't hide their joy and said:
"Yue Ying was bullied? Oh, how can this be allowed? Zhang Lao Da/Zhang Lao Er, hurry up and support our Yue Ying!"
Zhang Yueying's elder brother and second brother were lazing in bed, but when they heard this, they jumped out of bed and hurriedly put on their clothes!
If you don’t look at these four people, their mouths are about to split behind their ears. People who see them would really think that they are good brothers and sisters-in-law who love their sisters so much!
Zhang Yueying stamped her feet and said:
"No, what are you talking about? Gu Yanting didn't bully me. I wasn't even alone with him. How could he bully me?"
When they heard that Gu Yanting did not bully Zhang Yueying, everyone in the Zhang family was extremely disappointed.
Brother Zhang was lying on the bed at that time, and said dejectedly:
"I didn't bully you, why are you crying? This makes me happy, no, I was so scared that I stood up!"
"Alright, alright, didn't you hear me? She's not being bullied, just go do what you need to do!"
Zhang's mother also blamed Zhang Yueying and said:
"You scared me so much that my heart almost jumped out of my chest. It's nothing serious. Why are you crying all day?"
"I've already said this won't work. Not to mention a family like the Gu family, even our family doesn't want a daughter-in-law who cries all the time!"
Mrs. Zhang chimed in:
"Who said it wasn't true? There's nothing wrong, why are you crying? It sounds unlucky!"
"Early in the morning, they took away a big bowl of salted duck eggs that we were reluctant to eat. They came back with nothing wrong. What's there to cry about?"
Mrs. Zhang was also dissatisfied:
"They say that if my sister-in-law marries into the Gu family, our family will have many benefits!"
"But after all these years, I haven't seen any benefits at all, and my family has lost a lot!"
This is pure nonsense. What does the Zhang family have? Why would they take advantage of other people's families?
Besides, Zhang Yueying only took a little bit of things each time, and Mr. Gu didn’t want to get involved with the Zhang family, so he had to return everything!
Of course, after getting it back, how Zhang Yueying distributes it is her business!
Zhang Yueying retorted with a guilty conscience:
"What do we have at home? We even gave away a lot. It's just a bowl of salted duck eggs. Is it worth it for you to say that?"
"Besides, Grandpa is going to bring me a basket of duck eggs!"
When she heard that he had brought back a basket of duck eggs, Mrs. Zhang looked around and said:
"Where is the basket of duck eggs? I hope they are not left outside. Let's pickle them quickly, otherwise they will go bad!"
Zhang Yueying bit her lip and said:
"Don't look for it. The whole family is here. How can I take it back? It will make me look so petty!"
When Zhang's mother heard that they didn't take it back, she felt a little disappointed. That was a basket of duck eggs. If they were pickled, it would be enough for the whole family to eat for several days!
Zhang's mother blamed Zhang Yueying and said:
"Yue Ying, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run a household. Do you know how much that big basket of duck eggs costs?"
"Besides, it's winter now. You can't buy them even if you have money. It's only because Mr. Gu supplies them that we have so many duck eggs to eat in winter!"
"Besides, the Gu family is well-off, so why would they care whether or not to give you the basket of duck eggs? You're just thinking too much. You should take whatever they give you in the future!"
After thinking for a while, Zhang's mother added:
"If, if you see something good, you should ask to come over and try it. If it is in your hands, it will belong to our family! Yueying, don't be stupid!"
However, Zhang's father, who was listening to what happened in the room, very much agreed with Zhang Yueying's approach.
However, Zhang's father was also very disappointed. His reason for being disappointed was different from that of other people in the family. He felt that it was he who made Yueying say those things.
