After Zhao Zhenzhu married into the Zhou family, all the clothes for Aunt Zhang's family were made by Zhao Zhenzhu.
Zhao Zhenzhu was not ignorant of the ways of the world, and she often charged Aunt Zhang less or even nothing for her work. Therefore, Aunt Zhang also took good care of Zhao Zhenzhu.
Ding Ermei didn't dare to bully Zhao Zhenzhu for no reason, and Aunt Zhang also took part of the credit.
Zhao Zhenzhu knew that Aunt Zhang meant well.
In rural areas, most family conflicts are resolved behind closed doors by family members discussing it. If it gets out of hand, others will laugh at you.
However, Zhao Zhenzhu was very happy to see today's scene, and she couldn't let Aunt Zhang "make a big deal out of a small matter".
Zhao Zhenzhu shook her head and replied softly to Aunt Zhang: "Aunt, it's okay, let everyone see. I just want someone to help judge the matter!"
"I was caught in the rain and had a fever all night yesterday. When I got up in the morning, there was not even a mouthful of porridge left in the pot for me. Luckily, my brother gave me a few eggs two days ago, and Yunyun and I steamed a bowl of egg custard. But my mother-in-law started shouting and killing us. It was too much." Zhao Zhenzhu said this, wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, looking a little pitiful.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Xiaohua to go to the town to inform your brother." Aunt Zhang ran out the door.
In rural areas, when conflicts arise between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is common for the daughter-in-law to ask her family to help her.
Zhao Zhenzhu had never thought of alarming her family.
Aunt Zhang's words reminded Zhao Zhenzhu.
Today is such a good opportunity, I should let my family see Ding Ermei’s true face.
In the past, for the sake of Zhou Bingchen and to reassure her family, Zhao Zhenzhu had never said a bad word about Ding Ermei in front of her family.
Zhao Zhenzhu never told her family about the grievances she had suffered in the Zhou family over the years.
When her family members asked about it, Zhao Zhenzhu would only say that she was living well in the Zhou family. Her mother-in-law treated her like her own daughter.
Now that Zhao Zhenzhu is planning to divorce Zhou Bingchen, she needs to prepare in advance.
Otherwise, even if the Zhou family agreed to the divorce, her mother’s family would not agree.
In this era, divorce is a very big deal. Generally speaking, people around you would encourage reconciliation rather than divorce.
In the eyes of most people, Zhou Bingchen is a good husband: he is an officer in the army with a bright future, he sends his monthly allowance back home to support his family, and he is steady and reliable.
No one knows about what happened between Zhou Bingchen and the young widow now.
Even if Zhao Zhenzhu told her family that Zhou Bingchen had cheated on her, they would not believe it.
Only by starting with the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can Zhao Zhenzhu gain the support of her natal family.
After realizing this, Zhao Zhenzhu did not stop Aunt Zhang.
After Aunt Zhang left, Zhao Zhenzhu's face was filled with grief, anger and pain.
The audience has taken their seats, and it's time to show off their acting skills.
Zhao Zhenzhu decided to create a character who was forced into a desperate situation by her mother-in-law, who could no longer bear it and then hysterically settled old scores with her mother-in-law.
The villagers who came to watch the fun filled the front yard of the Zhou family. However, no one stepped forward to persuade Ding Ermei.
In the past, Ding Ermei and her eldest daughter-in-law Chen Jinfeng were competing with each other. Someone came forward to try to persuade Ding Ermei, but was scolded by Ding Ermei.
Later, whenever Ding Ermei was throwing a tantrum, the villagers would just stand aside and watch. Those who had sunflower seeds at home would grab a handful and put them in their pockets, eating them while watching.
There is little entertainment in the countryside, and a scene like Ding Ermei's is rare in a year, so it is still very entertaining. At least, when you go out to visit relatives one day, you can have more things to talk about, right?
When Chen Yufeng, the women's director of Zhoujia Village, hurried to Zhoujia's house, what she saw was a spectacular "human wall".
Probably more than half of the people from Zhoujia Village have come.
From inside the "human wall", Ding Ermei cried out in a rhythmic voice: "You unfilial thing, the town leaders should come and arrest you."
Chen Yufeng's heart skipped a beat.
Why did Ding Ermei even bring up the "town leaders" today? What kind of trouble did Jin Feng get into?
Chen Yufeng was called over from the brigade headquarters.
The villager who reported the news did not say clearly that Ding Ermei and Zhao Zhenzhu had a quarrel. He only said that Ding Ermei had a quarrel with her daughter-in-law.
Chen Yufeng thought that Ding Ermei was looking for another opportunity to discipline her eldest daughter-in-law, Chen Jinfeng.
Among Ding Ermei's three daughters-in-law, Ding Xiaocui was her niece. Ding Ermei was afraid of being scolded when she returned to her natal family, so she never dared to cause trouble for Ding Xiaocui. Even if she scolded or beat her, it was mostly as a joke.
Zhao Zhenzhu was gentle and never talked back to Ding Ermei. Only Chen Jinfeng, seeing that Ding Ermei was too partial to the third wife, could not help but quarrel with Ding Ermei for the benefit of the first wife.
Ding Ermei's previous incidents were all caused by Chen Jinfeng.
Chen Yufeng is Chen Jinfeng's cousin and the wife of Zhou Dazhu, the village party secretary of Zhoujia Village.
Speaking of which, it was Ding Ermei who asked Chen Yufeng to be the matchmaker for the marriage between Chen Jinfeng and Zhou Bingqiang.
Logically speaking, Chen Jinfeng was the daughter-in-law that Ding Ermei "asked for" herself. With Chen Jinfeng as a "bridge", the relationship between Zhou Fugui's family and the village party secretary Zhou Dazhui's family can be closer.
Even though Ding Ermei didn't "worship" Chen Jinfeng, she should still treat her well.
Ding Ermei refused.
She liked to "knock" Chen Jinfeng from time to time to let her know that she, Ding Ermei, had the final say in the family.
Chen Jinfeng refused to accept the decision, so Ding Ermei found various ways to make her accept the decision.
When Ding Ermei and Chen Jinfeng meet, Chen Yufeng is the one who is in trouble.
Chen Yufeng spoke up for her cousin, and Ding Ermei said that Chen Yufeng, as a village cadre, was abusing her power for personal gain.
Chen Yufeng spoke up for Ding Ermei, so Chen Jinfeng went back to her parents' home to complain, saying that Chen Yufeng was helping her mother-in-law to torture her.
Chen Yufeng was in a difficult situation and wanted to just give up on Ding Ermei's family affairs.
Unfortunately, Chen Yufeng can't.
Chen Yufeng is the village women's director. Whenever the old ladies in the village fight or quarrel, Chen Yufeng needs to come forward to mediate.
Don't want to be the director of women's affairs? No, no, no, at least there is a few dollars of subsidy every month! Chen Yufeng was reluctant to give it up.
"Auntie, what are you doing? The ground is cold, get up quickly." After Chen Yufeng took some effort to squeeze into the "human wall", she quickly went to help Ding Ermei who was sitting on the ground.
"I won't get up. I'm an old man, and my daughter-in-law is still pointing at my nose and scolding me. I don't want to live anymore. Just let me die." Ding Ermei twisted her body to avoid Chen Yufeng's hand, and cried even louder.
"Jinfeng, you..." Chen Yufeng was just about to ask her cousin to apologize to Ding Ermei.
Chen Yufeng looked around but didn't see Chen Jinfeng.
Chen Yufeng was a little confused.
Didn't they say that Ding Ermei and Jinfeng had a fight? Oh, no, that person didn't say it was Jinfeng, he said that Ding Ermei had a fight with her daughter-in-law.
"Director Chen, you have to make the decision for me! Bingchen is out there defending our country, and in this family, I have to be both a father and a mother. Not only do I have to make money to support the three of us, but my mother-in-law also accuses me of cheating. They want to force me to death!" Zhao Zhenzhu took out a handkerchief and covered her face, crying.
As soon as Zhao Zhenzhu said this, the scene suddenly exploded.
