Chapter 71: A Little Difficulty
“Ahem!”
Old Mrs. Su coughed twice.
Old man Su immediately came back to his senses from his shock and waved his hands in fear.
"That won't do! How can a farmer have concubines? We can't afford to support them! Sister-in-law, take your daughter back home right now!"
Zhang Dalang's wife heard what Old Man Su said, but she glanced at Old Lady Su, then pushed her daughter and whispered, "Go quickly!"
Her daughter Zhang Maila's face flushed red. She crawled on her knees twice and kowtowed heavily to Old Man Su and Old Lady Su, crying, "I beg you to be merciful and give me a bite to eat. I am willing to work like a slave for you... Woo woo..."
Old Man Su, “…”
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
Some people around were jealous.
Although Zhang Maiya was divorced by her husband's family, he was able to get a concubine for free, who worked like a slave for the family and could also warm the bed at night. What a great thing!
Why can't I encounter such a good thing?
"What are you looking at? Are you jealous?" A young wife pinched her husband hard.
"Ouch!" The man cried out in pain, but thinking of the miserable days when his wife wouldn't let him into the bed, he quickly explained in a flattering way, "How could that be? I just feel sorry for the Zhang family."
His wife glared at him and said, "Although the Zhang family is pitiful, they are more shrewd than anyone else. Look, they sent a divorced daughter here, hoping to marry into the Su family."
When the young wife finished speaking, a look of contempt appeared on her face.
A woman nearby, after hearing what the young wife said, curled her lips and said, "The Zhang family is a bottomless pit now. The old are old, the young are young, and the disabled are disabled. On the surface, they are giving their daughter away as a concubine, but in reality, aren't they just trying to take advantage of the other family's better life and get some benefits by getting in on the action?"
"I think so too..." Another woman agreed with a pout.
Xiao Tangbao listened to people's discussions and was really impressed by these aunts, aunts and sisters-in-law.
Many men fail to see the secret, but these women who are always soft-hearted and most likely to be used as tools see it clearly!
She originally thought that people would develop according to the plot of whoever is weaker is right.
As a result, they all sympathized with the Zhang family and used moral blackmail to blackmail the Su family.
Even so, forcing the Su family to accept a concubine.
However, Xiao Tangbao did not expect that these people would look down upon the Zhang family's actions.
It turns out that we cannot underestimate the wisdom of working women.
Xiao Tangbao secretly gave a thumbs up to these aunts and ladies.
It has to be said that those who are jealous of Old Man Su’s good luck are men, while those who look down on the Zhang family are women.
The differences between men and women are clearly revealed at this time.
On the other side, Qian Yuemei suppressed the excitement in her eyes, tugged at Su Erhu's sleeve, and whispered, "If Dad takes this woman as a concubine, what should we call her in the future?"
Although she tried hard to hide it, Su Erhu still noticed the gloating look on her face.
Su Erhu pulled back his sleeves and glared at Qian Yuemei fiercely, "Dad won't accept it!"
Qian Yuemei secretly curled her lips.
Although she also felt that her father-in-law would not accept it, she still felt inexplicably happy to see someone causing trouble for her mother-in-law.
Su's wife Zhao Chunhua was different. After hearing what Zhang's mother and daughter said, her face was full of anger and she wanted to drive them out with a stick.
What's the difference between a concubine and not a concubine?
Isn't this just to cause trouble for their family?!
If her parents-in-law were not there, she would have chased them away without her having a say.
Zhao Chunhua originally sympathized with the Zhang family, but after hearing the Zhang family's intentions, she became completely angry.
Su Dahu also had a stern face and his eyes were full of anger.
It can be said that except for Qian Yuemei, the Zhang family's actions offended several adults in the Su family.
Old Mrs. Su stood steadily, with a kind and gentle expression on her face in response to Zhang Maiya's crying and begging.
Then, he said slowly, "That's a harsh statement. Who among the farmers doesn't work like a slave, carefully tending a few acres of land to feed their family? If that's the case, why would they need others to work like slaves for them?"
When Mrs. Su said this, she looked at Zhang Dalang's wife and asked, "Isn't that right, Zhang's wife?"
Old Madam Su's voice was still calm, but there was a sharp edge in her eyes.
Zhang Dalang's wife suddenly felt a tremor in her heart and felt an inexplicable pressure and coercion.
