When Zhao Di returned, Mei Zhong was chopping firewood, and Zhao Shi and her eldest daughter-in-law were cooking.
As for Dalang, he must have gone to work, but Erlang and Duan Xiaohong were nowhere to be seen.
"Daughter's back? How's it going at your in-laws'?" Mei Zhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked his daughter with a simple smile.
Although the honest people trusted the Shen family's character, they still couldn't help but care about their daughter.
Zhao Di looked at her elderly father and couldn't help but smile: "Everything is fine."
Her in-laws treated her very well; it was she who was the bad one.
Not only does she lack good health, which would be a burden to Erming, but she also has those awful relatives who make her feel embarrassed.
"Daughter,"
Upon hearing Zhao Di's voice, Zhao hurriedly came out, still holding a kitchen knife in her hand, and anxiously asked, "Yesterday, Duan Xiaohong's parents went... Did your mother-in-law get angry with you?"
It's easy to guess what Duan Xiaohong's parents will say when they arrive.
Therefore, the Zhao family was always very worried.
“Mother, my mother-in-law isn’t angry with me. Where’s Erlang?” Zhaodi asked calmly.
Even though Zhao Di had already said she wasn't angry anymore, Zhao Shi's heart skipped a beat when she saw her daughter's expression. She walked closer and asked in a low voice, "Daughter, is it really true that no one is making things difficult for you? Tell your mother, don't keep it to yourself."
Aren't you angry?
If it were her daughter-in-law, she would definitely be angry to some extent.
Even if you don't take your anger out on your daughter-in-law, she will still feel embarrassed and awkward, which are normal emotions.
She just didn't want her daughter to keep everything bottled up inside and suffer.
"Mother, where is Erlang?"
Repeating this again, Zhao Di's tone was becoming increasingly impatient.
Although Zhao was very anxious about what had happened, she always listened to her daughter, and upon hearing this, she immediately said, "Erlang and Duan Xiaohong went to town. When they came back yesterday, Duan Xiaohong told Erlang that they should live a good life."
Zhao's eyes and brows revealed an undisguised joy.
After all this commotion, we can finally settle down and live a peaceful life.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Di was initially taken aback, wondering how Duan Xiaohong had changed her personality. But she quickly understood and sneered, "Mother, have my father make a trip and bring them back quickly. I have something important to say."
Pretending?
It's alright, Duan Xiaohong, I'll expose your true colors.
Someone like you, staying at home, will only bring chaos to the whole family.
This could even cause the two brothers, Da Lang and Er Lang, to fight each other in the future, so I must make you show your true colors!
"Daughter, what's wrong?"
Zhao was getting anxious and kept pulling Zhao Di, asking, "Did your in-laws make things difficult for you? Or is something wrong? Tell me, I'm so worried!"
Mei Zhong didn't ask a single question, put down his axe, and went straight to town.
"Mother, let's talk about it together when Erlang comes back. I don't want to repeat myself," Zhaodi said listlessly.
It's not something to be happy about, so why repeat it over and over again?
Zhao knew Zhao Di's temperament. Seeing that she refused to speak, she knew that no matter how much she asked, she wouldn't say anything. So she could only sigh and tell her to go inside and wait.
He then went back to cook with his eldest daughter-in-law.
But Zhao Di was a restless person, so she followed Zhao Shi directly to the kitchen and squatted down to start a fire.
"Big sister, starting a fire will make you dirty, let me do it."
"This is what Zhao's eldest daughter-in-law, Furong, said ingratiatingly."
Zhao Di waved her hand: "It's alright, I do the fire-starting work every day, you go and do your thing."
"You do the work of starting a fire every day? Big sister, you're in the Shen family now, do you still need to start a fire and cook?" Furong asked curiously.
The Shen family has already hired someone to cook for them, hasn't they?
I heard there are three cooks alone, so why does the daughter-in-law still need to cook?
“When your brother-in-law and I lived in town, we cooked for ourselves,” Zhao Di said casually.
Actually, she didn't want to say these things, but since her sister-in-law asked, it wouldn't be appropriate for her not to.
“I told you, sister, you suffered for over twenty years, but now you’re all set to enjoy a life of happiness. Your husband is so capable, and your in-laws are all well-off. If you have a child, he’ll be a little prince, and you won’t have to suffer like we did when we were kids.”
Furong's tone inevitably carried envy, but not jealousy.
My sister-in-law is doing well, so she will help them out in the future.
At the very least, when she has children in the future, how could her older sister, as the eldest aunt, not love her nephew?
Seeing how much my sister-in-law takes care of my parents and brother, I know she will definitely look after my nephew in the future.
I don't need to take extra care of them, just providing them with decent food and clothing would be very kind of them.
What she didn't know was that her cry of "child" touched Zhao Di's deepest sore spot.
Zhao Di did not speak.
Furong opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she didn't.
never mind.
Maybe my older sister is in a bad mood.
When the food was ready, Mei Zhong and Erlang Duan Xiaohong also returned.
Erlang and Duan Xiaohong were both beaming with joy and extremely happy.
Duan Xiaohong, in particular, bought a lot of things and came up to Zhao Di in a friendly manner whenever she saw her.
"Big sister, I bought it for you..."
"roll."
Before Duan Xiaohong could finish speaking, she was startled by Zhao Di's cold "Get out!"
Everyone was shocked.
this……
“Zhao Di, this is…”
Zhao asked her daughter, puzzled.
Duan Xiaohong, convinced she was in the right, angrily pointed and gestured at Zhao Di, saying, "Sister, are you sick in the head? I'm talking to you nicely, why are you treating me like this?"
It really is.
If it weren't for...
I'll give her a good slap!
"Yes, I am sick."
Zhao Di, her eyes bloodshot, stared at Duan Xiaohong, stood up and asked her, "I told you not to go to the Shen family to talk about the winery, why did you still go? Did you just ignore what I said? Huh?"
This shows that the parents-in-law were magnanimous and not angry.
But what if her in-laws aren't so understanding? Have they considered her situation?
"Why are you so angry, sister? We're all relatives, what's wrong with visiting each other? Besides, we didn't come empty-handed."
Duan Xiaohong muttered to herself, not feeling guilty at all, but rather quite self-righteous.
Zhao Di sneered, "But were you visiting relatives? The Shen family didn't agree, yet you still took the gifts when you left, didn't you? You shameful wretch, can't you live a life of your own?"
When she learned these details, she really wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
These words weren't spoken by her in-laws, but many people saw them when Duan Xiaohong and her group came out.
Attentive people naturally noticed that they had brought back the gifts they had brought with them.
So many people in the village were talking about it, including those who worked at the distillery. Zhao Di overheard this by chance and felt extremely ashamed.
"Xiaohong, you actually brought the gifts back?"
Erlang was shocked.
He really didn't know that.
How embarrassing!
"Alright, that's all in the past. I've already promised that I won't go looking for the Shen family anymore, and I'll live a peaceful life with Erlang. What more do you want from me, eldest sister?"
Duan Xiaohong shouted in a spoiled manner.
