The sister-in-law was a little confused. Why did this topic suddenly come up? She knew very well that they had taken advantage of their parents-in-law over the years. At the very least, they lived in the old house for free and didn't have to worry about making a living.
Putting everything else aside, they don't even need to contribute to the food supply. She can even save some money, and if we were to split the family property again now... it seems like that would be feasible?
My father-in-law is a good worker and can work for another twenty years without any problem. As for my mother-in-law, she can't do anything except scold people every day. It seems pretty good.
"Well, I certainly have no objection to Mother-in-law wanting to stay with you, but what about Dad and the girl's father?" She wasn't stupid; she couldn't say it was her idea.
"Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't be so shrewd. Go back and ask around; that way you can resolve the issue once and for all. Don't talk about kneeling and kowtowing; we haven't seen you kneel at all. You're just making a fool of yourself. What's the point?"
Does she really think that if she says that, the villagers will sympathize with her and stand up for her? She's lucky they didn't laugh at her.
Sister-in-law: "..." How could Mo Yan say something so infuriating?
"I'm pregnant," the sister-in-law said through gritted teeth.
"And then?" Mo Yan blinked.
"Can't you be a little more considerate of me? Make me happy?"
"No, if you want to be pampered, you need to find the child's father. What does that have to do with me?"
Sister-in-law: "..."
Mo Yan waved to her sister-in-law, telling her to go back quickly.
"Alright, alright, hurry back. You don't need to worry about the old lady while she's here. Besides, the old lady really isn't doing this because of you. You're taking yourself too seriously."
The sister-in-law was a little confused; Mo Yan's reaction left her somewhat bewildered.
"Not because of me?"
"Of course, you're just a daughter-in-law. If she's unhappy, she can simply ignore you. She's just having a disagreement with Dad. What does it have to do with you, it's just their business? Sister-in-law, I advise you not to overthink it. You're really not that important, okay?" Mo Yan winked at her and reached out to straighten her clothes.
The older sister-in-law shrank back, somewhat afraid that Mo Yan might do something to her.
Mo Yan laughed as soon as she saw it. "Why are you so scared, sister-in-law? I just noticed your clothes are messy. You should go back. I'll take care of Mom here."
Mo Yan walked back into the courtyard and closed the door.
"Is that all?" The old lady felt it wasn't enough.
"What else? You go and beat her up, and then she says you're bullying your pregnant daughter-in-law?"
old lady:"……"
The eldest sister-in-law could only slink back home and tell the old man and the others that the old lady did not want to go back and said that she would live with Mo Yan from now on.
“I think Mom is angry right now, so it’s good for her to stay there for a few days. Dad, don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you.”
With her mother-in-law not around, she can eat whatever she wants.
She knew perfectly well that there was plenty of rice and meat at home, but the old lady just couldn't bear to take it out to eat.
...
My sister-in-law got up early to prepare pork, and just as she put it in the pot, the old lady came over with her entourage.
"Come, come, bring me four bags of millet from my room, and half of this meat, one pig, and three chickens and three ducks."
Those who came with the old lady were all villagers, and also her nephews.
The eldest sister-in-law panicked when she saw this, because in her heart all these things belonged to her.
"Mom, what are you doing?" From now on, this will all belong to her son.
“These were all planted by my old man and me. Now that I’m separating from him, naturally everything has to be divided. This has nothing to do with you. It’s a matter between my old man and me.”
Mo Yan is right. It's embarrassing to lose an argument with your daughter-in-law, but it's perfectly normal to separate from your husband.
She even went to the village elders, the old man's uncle, to intervene and make a decision.
“Our village tradition is to support the father more and the mother less. I’ll just stay with Mo Yan. Since we’re going to separate, we should share everything. That’s why I brought my nephews to collect my things. As for this house, I’ll still have half of it in the future. I won’t allow that.”
The old lady spoke calmly, showing no sign that she was the one who had cried so bitterly yesterday.
The old lady reverted to her usual domineering and energetic self, directing the young men to move things.
"We can't move it." The eldest sister-in-law quickly blocked the doorway. These all belonged to their family. "Mom, if you do this, Dad won't even know."
"Get out of my way. This is my house, and I'm in charge. What, are you going to bully this old woman in front of everyone?"
The eldest sister-in-law gritted her teeth, looking at the things, still unwilling to give way. "Mom, I didn't mean to bully you, it's just that as your daughter-in-law, I can't let you leave like this, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to Dad when he comes back."
"I didn't ask you to explain."
Just as the old lady was about to speak, she saw Mo Yan coming from behind.
For some reason, seeing Mo Yan gave her confidence.
"Sister-in-law, you don't need to tell me, I've brought Dad back."
Behind Mo Yan was the old man, whose face darkened at the sight. This old woman was actually serious.
"Are you really going to live with Tao Ju's wife? Won't you regret it later? If you separate the family this time, you can't regret it later."
In the old man's eyes, he was the head of the family. Mo Yan would definitely look down on San Niang in the future, but his eldest son would definitely not dare to look down on him. He could still protect his wife now, but if they really separated the family in the future, they would be two separate families, and he wouldn't be able to manage his daughter-in-law's family affairs, would he?
As for that son, he only knows how to ask for money every time he comes back; he's nowhere to be seen at other times, so he's unreliable.
