Zhao Xueqin was still unsure how to explain things to her own family, so she did nothing to resist Yang Meizi and Ning Xia's arrangements, just like a quail.
Ning's mother was frightened by Ning Yue's words and kept quiet, obediently following her youngest daughter back home.
She has always been accustomed to favoring sons over daughters because Ning is just like her youngest son when he was little—she has a sweet tongue.
So, although the eldest daughter's family has two grandsons, she doesn't actually like them that much.
He doted on his grandson, Ning Hao.
However, Ning's mother also knew that if she were to pass away, she would still need her children and grandchildren to support her.
Ning Hao has already been arrested and will serve several years in prison. It's uncertain whether I'll even be alive when he gets out!
Ning Chao and Ning Yue are still around. How could they possibly abandon this old woman?
What if Ning Hao is still in prison when she dies, and Ning Chao and Ning Yue are unwilling to perform the ritual of breaking the basin and holding up the memorial tablet for her?
Moreover, how can a sweet-talking grandson who is locked up in jail with no future compare to two grandsons who are not so sweet-talking?
So even though the youngest daughter, Ningxia, took them back, and neither her eldest daughter-in-law, Yangmeizi, nor her grandson, Ningyue, came along, Ning's mother didn't say anything.
By the time Ning's mother wanted to ask, they had already returned to the village.
After returning home, Zhao Xueqin remained timid and stayed indoors, refusing to go out.
Even though Ning Fei hit her several times and made her go to work in the fields, Zhao Xueqin would rather endure the beatings than go out.
Ning Fei was angry about his son being arrested, but there was nothing he could do.
He was quite carefree, thinking that at most he would only be sentenced to a few years, and he would still be a good man after he came out.
Men and women do indeed have very different perspectives on things.
Zhao Xueqin returned with Ning's mother.
Even with the utmost caution, some villagers still managed to see it.
Zhao's mother waited and waited at home, but her daughter never came to explain what was wrong with her eldest grandson and grandson-in-law.
She didn't come on the first day, and she still didn't come on the second day. By the third day, how could they not understand that their daughter was hiding from her family?
Thinking of this, Zhao's mother's heart skipped a beat, and she could no longer stay at home.
She stormed off to her son-in-law's and daughter's house in a huff. Zhao Dasao, who was already anxious and upset that her mother-in-law wasn't going out to ask her sister-in-law about her son, couldn't hold back any longer and followed her after seeing her mother-in-law go to her sister-in-law's house.
Unexpectedly, after following them, they heard that their son had been arrested along with Ning Hao, the spendthrift son of their sister-in-law, and had been sentenced to prison.
Zhao Da Sao almost fainted on the spot when she heard this. When she regained some of her senses, she felt like she was going crazy.
She had such a good son, whom she cherished dearly, but after going to the city with his cousin, he turned bad and was even arrested and sentenced. How could she accept this?
Unable to believe it, Sister-in-law Zhao rushed into Ning Fei's house and grabbed Zhao Xueqin's hair.
He said fiercely, "Zhao Xueqin, give my son back, or you'll regret it."
Zhao Xueqin felt a sharp pain in her scalp, and then a large handful of hair came out from between Zhao Dasao's fingers.
Although a large patch of her hair was pulled out, it still hurt a lot, causing Zhao Xueqin to scream in pain.
