Seeing her usually kind mother-in-law say such harsh words, Lin Juhua quickly pushed her out of the house and said, "Mom, I'll stay with my sister-in-law. You take Mai Miao home first."
Mother Zhang squeezed her hand, grabbed her eldest granddaughter, and walked out. This fool hadn't even asked her family how to deal with the situation before she peed, frightening herself to the point of losing her composure.
"Grandma, my grandpa..." Mai Miao didn't know how to describe her feelings. Her annoying cousin had really been abandoned by her family.
Mother Zhang sighed, "Do you think your grandfather is unkind?"
"A little."
"So you guys should remember this lesson. If a girl doesn't know how to love herself, who can she blame? Your grandfather had to give up for the sake of his grandchildren. This is not your grandfather's fault."
"If I didn't pity your mother, I would have cut off all ties with her family for the sake of you and your siblings. Tell me, if you guys were dating in the future and others talked about this..."
The more Zhang's mother thought about it, the more worried she became. There were some things that the little girl wouldn't understand. She could still sympathize with those who had been wronged before, but this slut who brought disgrace upon the family was something she would spit on and curse at.
If her grandsons were asked to speak out and clear themselves of the matter at the Pi Dou meeting, it would be another awful matter. Oh, how could her good grandson be involved with such a person!
Not to mention Zhang's mother's annoyance at the moment, Lin Juhua watched her mother-in-law leave and returned to sit next to her sister-in-law. She felt that it was not appropriate for her to speak now, so she let the other party calm down before persuading her.
But just because you don’t say anything doesn’t mean Huang Cuilan won’t speak.
She said dejectedly: "Mother-in-law is angry."
"How could I have such a shameful niece? That girl has always been fond of my fine fabrics and delicious food. Later, she changed a lot. I thought she had changed for the better, but who would have thought that she would do such a shameful thing behind my back. This time, my parents will be really furious, otherwise they would not have severed ties with me."
"Some time ago, she told me that she was going to get a permanent job, and I was happy for her. But who would have thought she would do such a foolish thing? Now, her life is over..."
Lin Juhua listened to her chattering, her frown so tight that it could kill a fly. After listening for almost half an hour, she still kept talking about the troubles in her mother's family, from the eldest Huang to the second Huang, and then from the second Huang to the old man Huang. She didn't think about how much bad influence this would bring to Xizi and the others.
In the end, she couldn't stand it any longer. "Sister-in-law, the daughter-in-law of the Qian family at the corner of the street broke off relations with her family. Do you remember?"
"Brother hasn't come back yet, think about what he will decide. Xizi will be able to find a partner and start a family as soon as he graduates. He is our family's first grandson. If someone picks on you and mentions your niece, do you believe that no good family will want to marry you?
"At this point, you haven't considered your children and your parents' home first. Now it's me. If your eldest brother were here and you were still nagging about your parents' home, do you believe he would divorce you immediately?"
Huang Cuilan immediately looked up when she heard this and looked at her in disbelief.
"Even my in-laws are going to cut off ties with their granddaughter. What does this mean? I don't believe you don't know what's going on. You're still saying you sympathize with your niece. Have you thought about it?
There's another hurdle waiting for you. If we have a fight party, someone will definitely have someone connected to her kick and slap her, and maybe even force you to report her. "And you're still nagging about how pitiful she is?"
Huang Cuilan quickly shook her head, "Then I won't go. I'll stay at home."
Lin Juhua laughed sarcastically, "You can escape by not going? They'll just blame you later. There are plenty of people who can't wait for you to leave the Zhang family."
Huang Cuilan suddenly collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Juhua sighed deeply, went out to get a basin of water, put a towel in it, and brought it to her. "Brother will be back soon, you should wash up first. Don't let him look back and think you are desperately trying to save your niece by abandoning your own family. He cares most about Xizi and the other four siblings. Don't let him get discouraged."
Having said that, Lin Juhua looked at her again, turned around and walked out.
As a sister-in-law, she felt she had fulfilled her obligations. She'd always advised him, but if he still refused to change his ways, no one could stop him. If they really wanted a divorce, then so be it. As the younger sister-in-law, she had watched this for so long and felt a little disheartened.
Lin Juhua walked out of the old house, thought for a moment, and went straight back to her own home. She rode the 28-bar bicycle her husband left at home and rushed back to her parents' home.
From Huang Cuilan, she suddenly remembered that her parents and brothers were also not easy to deal with. If something really happened, she would not help, but what about her younger siblings and nephews and nieces?
The majestic Red Guards, the dodging passers-by, and the occasional acquaintances along the way used to meet on the path, stop to chat with each other, and laugh loudly, but now they are all silent.
Lin Juhua became more and more frightened as she walked. During this period, she was either staying at home to work or helping her mother-in-law. She really had no idea what was going on outside.
When she arrived at her mother's village, there were even fewer gossiping women. It seemed that the raids had frightened the men working in the fields, who were afraid that if they were to do something wrong, they would be implicated and dragged into a struggle session.
Back at the Lin family, Lin Juhua warned her parents again and made the matter sound even more serious, scaring Lin's parents so much that they kept holding their son all day long.
As soon as Huang Cuilan heard the door close, she immediately stood up, picked up the washbasin, and slowly began to wash her face and change her clothes.
After washing up and checking the time, she didn't care about being sad and immediately rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner, pinching the roots of vegetables while sighing continuously.
Two hours later, Zhang Guofu entered the house. He originally thought it was his little daughter in the kitchen, but unexpectedly it was his daughter-in-law Huang Cuilan. He was so surprised that he looked up at the sky.
Does the sun rise from the west?
That's not right! The summer sun is setting, illuminating half the sky red.
Standing at the kitchen door, Zhang Guofu looked at her, but in the end he didn't ask why she hadn't gone to her father-in-law's house? Of course, maybe she had already been there before.
"Daddy, are you hungry? I'll be back soon."
Zhang Guofu was stunned. "No hurry, let's wait for the children to come back and eat together."
He looked at his wife's back, and he felt something strange. He couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Shouldn't she have mentioned her family's affairs to him first?
If the mountain does not come to me, I will go to the mountain.
I have to say something ugly upfront to prevent this fool from doing stupid things.
"Xiao Lan, it's not appropriate for our family to visit your parents in the short term. You used to often let your eldest niece come to our house, and now it's inevitable that someone will throw dirty water on me."
Huang Cuilan's face turned pale behind his back. How could she not hear the complaint in these words? Now, her mother-in-law blamed her, her husband blamed her, and even the children hadn't come home yet. She must be blaming herself. What on earth was she doing?
