"What relatives? They're just some... Anyway, that family doesn't consider us as relatives. Even if you meet them in the future, you don't have to be too honest with them, otherwise you will definitely suffer." Yang felt unhappy when she mentioned her mother-in-law and the eldest family in the city. She wanted to complain, but she stopped in front of her daughter-in-law. She just gave her daughter-in-law a few words to remind her to be on guard against the old lady and the eldest family. As for who the old lady and the eldest family were, her daughter-in-law would know sooner or later, and there was no need for her, as a mother-in-law, to say it out loud, making her look petty.

"I remember what you said, mother. It's just that for grandma's birthday, do my husband and I need any extra gifts? After all, I've just married into the Han family and there are some things I'm not too clear about these days. Mother, please give me some advice."

"No, our family is not divided, so why do we need to prepare any additional gifts? Besides, when you got married, they didn't bring any gifts, not even a single person came, so why should we rush to them? Otherwise, they will think we are trying to curry favor with them."

"Okay, I'll listen to mom." Su Wenyue originally just wanted to find out the situation, but now it seems that the relationship between the two families is really bad. She is from the second branch, so naturally she stands on its side.

After Su Wenyue talked with Yang, Yang also felt that they couldn't go on like this. In just a few days, they had eaten up one or two months' worth of food. They had to be frugal and cook less for each meal as long as they didn't go hungry.

Yang explained her intention to Liu, and Liu happily agreed. In the past, her mother-in-law made the food in the family too bad, and she wished that the meals at home had more oil and water. But in recent days, the meals have been so good, and she is worried again, especially since the food is in her hands, and she is reluctant to see the food quickly becoming less. If this continues, the food in the family will not last long. After all, she is the daughter-in-law of the Han family, and the interests of the Han family are closely related to her, not to mention that most of the food goes into the stomachs of outsiders.

"Mom, I get it. I'll eat the right amount for every meal from now on. We can't keep going like this. Seeing the food being used up like water makes me anxious. We should have done this a long time ago. We can't waste the food that our whole family has worked so hard to grow for half a year."

"Okay, just do what I tell you to do. Why so much nonsense?" Yang didn't like her eldest daughter-in-law's behavior in the first place, and now she was even more unhappy.

Liu didn't care. She had been scolded by her mother-in-law many times anyway, but she never listened to it. It didn't hurt anything. As long as the goal was achieved, it would be fine. With this mentality, it was no wonder that her mother-in-law disliked her, but it was much more refreshing than keeping it in her heart.

The food at home was no longer as good as before. Yang Juxiang and her daughter, who used to be able to eat a full meal at every meal, could only eat half full now. Of course they were dissatisfied with this change, especially when they saw Han Hu bought so much rice and flour from the city. The food should have been better, but it turned out to be worse than the previous one, only slightly better than that of the Jiang family.

At first, Yang Juxiang and her daughter could bear it, but when they saw Su Wenyue stewing chicken soup or making all kinds of delicious food in the kitchen every day to send to Yang, and the children could also get some, but they didn't get any, they felt more and more uncomfortable. What was this? They were guests, but the host family ate so well every day, and her elder sister's complexion became rosy, but they didn't get enough food every day.

Yang Juxiang and her daughter never thought that all these things Su Wenyue made were bought with her own money and had nothing to do with them. The Han family had no right to interfere, and they were outsiders of the Han family, so they had even less right to interfere. Moreover, this was made by Su Wenyue, the daughter-in-law, for her injured mother-in-law.

Yang Juxiang and her daughter can be considered as people of action. The more they thought about it, the more unbalanced they felt. It was not easy to talk about the food issue directly, so they waited for the right opportunity. One day, they saw Su Wenyue stewing soup and sending it to Yang. As soon as Su Wenyue came out, they went into Yang's room.

"Hey, big sister, what are you eating? It smells so good! I feel hungry again when I smell this fragrance. No wonder your face has become much rosier these days." Yang Juxiang said with a smile.

"Yes, auntie, this soup smells really good. It smells like pig's trotter soup. I didn't have enough for lunch, and my stomach is growling when I smell the aroma." Jiang Chunlan leaned against Yang intimately and said coquettishly.

"Little sister, Chunlan, you are here! It's all because of the filial piety of the fourth wife. I told her not to spend so much. I am old and it would be a waste to eat all these good things. But the fourth wife wouldn't listen and insisted on making them for me every day, saying that she wanted to nourish my body. But she made me fat. These days are the most comfortable days of my life."

Yang Shi didn't know if she understood what Yang Juxiang and her daughter said. She smiled and praised Su Wenyue. Yang Juxiang and her daughter felt uncomfortable. They knew that Su Wenyue made the soup and sent it to them. They didn't mention it because they had a strong opinion about Su Wenyue. Han Yu's wife looked gentle, but she was actually very smart. If they couldn't get any advantage from her, they wouldn't have come to Yang Shi.

However, after Yang said this, Yang Juxiang and her daughter felt uncomfortable, so they had to go along with Yang's words: "Yes, the fourth daughter-in-law is very filial, beautiful, and smart. She is an outstanding person. Not to mention your village, it is difficult to find such a person even in the surrounding villages. But she is too smart, and her family background is so good, I am afraid that Yu'er can't control her.

This has always been a prosperous life where the man is strong and the woman is weak. I have lived here for a while and I have heard many people in the village gossiping about her. It is unpleasant and will not do any good to Yuer. So you, as a mother-in-law, must stop being so indulgent. You must make the fourth daughter-in-law afraid of her, otherwise you will spoil her and Yuer will suffer in the future!"

"Yes, auntie, I was very angry when I heard that. What kind of person is cousin Yu? He is smart, capable and talented. How could he live on a woman? Isn't this nonsense? It's all because of fourth cousin's wife!"

What Yang hated to hear most was people saying that her son relied on his wife. If those things that happened a few days ago had not happened, she would definitely be anxious, and maybe she would have listened to what Yang Juxiang and her daughter said. But now she has figured it out. The fourth son's wife is indeed a good and filial person. She even suffered injustice a few days ago and did not let her parents' family make a fuss. How could she be the kind of person who does not know her limits?
