Of course, Zhang Lan's parents weren't easy to talk to either. They said directly, "We've been with your family for so many years and given you a son and a daughter. There's no way we'll give you a bride price."
In the end, Zhang Lan was sent back to her parents' home, and her in-laws told everyone that she was not a good woman.
Zhang Lan's money was stolen by her own parents, who then locked her in a room and told her she was a disgrace.
She lay in bed, bewildered as to how she had ended up like this. Was she resigned to it? Of course she was!
She must leave this place and become rich in the future.
She didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to live a better life. What did she do wrong?
If there's any mistake, it's someone else's fault. It's Zhang Tu's fault for dying young. It's Wei Lin's fault for not breaking off the engagement and marrying her. He's a useless person.
And it's also the fault of their team. Why couldn't they arrange a job for her? They should have introduced her to another potential partner, one who is an official!
Zhang Lan resented everyone. Just then, the door creaked open, and Old Lady Zhang came in with a bowl of wild vegetable porridge. She glanced outside cautiously to make sure no one had seen her before handing the porridge to her daughter.
"Honey, hurry up and drink some porridge while your dad's not around. How did you end up like this?"
Zhang Lan got up, grabbed the bowl, and started stuffing food into her mouth. She was so hungry; she had been starving for a long time. The wild vegetable porridge that she used to despise had become a hard-won delicacy at this moment.
After drinking it, she looked at her mother, who had never helped her in her entire life, and said, "Mother, I want to leave here. I can't stay at home. My father will definitely beat me and sell me."
Zhang Lanniang had been obedient her whole life, and even now she dared not disobey her husband.
"Be good, be good."
Zhang Lan pushed her mother away, saying, "Why should I obey? Why should I obey?"
I just didn't want to be manipulated. What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong?
What did she do wrong? She just wanted a better life, she just wanted to be an official's wife, and she just wanted Zhang Tu to make something of himself.
"You still say you're not wrong? How could you hook up with someone while Zhang Tu's body was barely cold?"
Do you think you deserve this picture?
Let's not talk about what kind of people your in-laws are, just talk about Zhang Tu. Zhang Tu treats you so well. He does whatever you say and listens to you so much. After you married him, you didn't have to do any work. You could sleep until noon every day. Which woman in the village didn't envy you?
So you complain that his position isn't high enough, and every time you come back you give him the cold shoulder and go back to your parents' house. You don't even take care of your in-laws. Your in-laws are the ones who take care of your two children. You're living the life of a god, and you're still not satisfied?
In their village, your daughter is living the life of a fairy tale; everyone thinks she married into a good family.
Which daughter-in-law isn't scolded or bullied by her in-laws? Only daughters are treated like goddesses.
"What's the big deal? If I marry him, he'll have to support his wife. What's the use if he just lets me live a good life in the village?"
I want to go to the city, I want to live in an apartment building, I want to live a good life. I made him do meritorious service so that he could be promoted. Who knew he would be gone?
Since he's dead, of course I need to think about finding someone else.
That's the only place I can find a new job. Am I supposed to go back to the village and find another farmer? What's the point?
I don't care, just tell me if you're willing to help or not, I want to leave this place.
I don't want to spend my whole life in this place. What do other people's opinions matter to me? As long as I'm happy in this life, that's all that matters.
Zhang Lan pushed her mother away like a madwoman and rushed out. As soon as she rushed out, she saw her father, who dragged her back and beat her again.
Only then did he tell her mother, "Don't give her any food. Make her observe three years of mourning for Zhang Tu. After three years, she can just marry anyone else. I can't bear the shame of that!"
