Chapter 116 Getting Angry

Zhou Lao Da mourned for his wife in his heart. It was his bad luck to be caught by his mother. Facing his mother's dark face, he dared not hide the truth, "She went to Wang Lao Si's house to see the excitement."

Zhulan was really worried about Li, but she couldn't ask Zhao in front of her eldest son, "Just tell her I'm back and you go call her back."

Boss Zhou stood up quickly and left quickly.

Zhulan first distributed the wood carvings she had bought to her grandchildren and sent the children away. Then she took Zhao back to the bedroom and motioned for Zhao to sit down and asked, "Did anything happen at home during the time I was away?"

Zhao knew clearly that her mother was asking her eldest sister-in-law, so she put her son in her arms on the kang and did not dare to lie. "Mother, after you and father left, my eldest sister-in-law did not dare to go out. She went out today because there was a big commotion at Wang Laosi's house."

Zhulan felt relieved and teased her grandson who had grown a lot. "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have gained weight again."

Zhao felt warm in her heart. The family had good food, her milk was sufficient, and the child ate well and grew fast. "It was all thanks to my mother."

Zhulan did not ask about the studies of Zhao's third son and eldest son. It would not be good for a sister-in-law to keep an eye on her younger brother-in-law. These two sons were studying in the clan school, and given Zhou Shuren's status, no one would bully them.

Zhulan took out two jewelry boxes from her bag, one large and one small. The large box contained the girl's jewelry, and the small box contained three silver hairpins. She took out a sapphire hairpin and said, "You look good in blue, so I'll give you this hairpin."

Zhao's eyes widened, this was her first piece of jewelry. It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous of her elder sister-in-law wearing jewelry. The head of the family saw her secretly looking at her elder sister-in-law's hairpin and said that she wanted to buy one too, but she was reluctant to do so. There was a new child in the family, and no matter how much money she saved, it would always feel insufficient. It was because she was not as capable as her elder sister-in-law. The thought made her feel upset. Who would have thought that her elder sister-in-law, who only knew how to eat, would surpass her in one move? The hairpin was really rare, and her hands were shaking as she did not dare to take it.

Seeing that Zhao was hesitant to accept the gift, Zhulan pulled Zhao over and put the hairpin on her head. It was pleasing to see a beautiful woman wearing the hairpin. It would be better if the beautiful woman didn't cry. "A hairpin can make you cry so sadly?"

I didn't know she was going to die!

Zhao was touched. Her mother-in-law was the best person to her besides her mother. The head of the household had to take a back seat. The head of the household kept talking about buying her a hairpin but never took any action. She had completely forgotten that the money was in her hands. "Mother, wuwu, mother."

Zhulan, "........"

It’s okay to cry, but don’t draw out the sound, as if she is really going to die!

Li came in and didn't care what Zhao was crying about. She saw the hairpin on Zhao's head at a glance. Her heart skipped a beat and she wanted to slap herself. Why couldn't she control her legs? If she had known, she wouldn't have watched the excitement. She felt that she had lost ten taels of silver. She was so sad that she cried, "Mom!"

Zhulan was startled, "..........."

Zhou Shuren, who was chatting with his son outside, rushed in out of fear, thinking that something had happened to Zhulan. Seeing that Zhulan was fine, he was so angry that his face turned pale. The two annoying daughters-in-law had dark faces and asked, "Why are you howling? Are you cursing your mother?"

Li was frightened. It was the first time she saw her father-in-law get angry. She was so scared that she started to hiccup. "Hickey, no, no."

Zhulan pressed her brows. She was tired enough from the bumpy ride, and she still had to deal with the upset. She took out a hairpin inlaid with agate and gave it to Li. "This is yours. It's getting late. I'm tired too. Zhao, take the kids home. Li, hurry up and cook. Everyone else, get out!"

Zhou Shuren's face didn't look good. The eldest and second eldest Zhou left with their wives in shame. His father was furious.

Seeing that Zhou Shuren looked unhappy, Zhulan couldn't help but feel sweet in her heart. This guy is really worried about himself!
