Chapter 195 I'm Not Leaving

Changzhi didn't know what earth-shattering thing he had done. Anyway, his eldest sister-in-law no longer liked him ever since she took over the pen and ink. His parents always looked at him in a state of confusion, not to mention his brothers. His third brother no longer spoke with a sharp tongue and acted like a good brother. Even his nephews avoided him.

Every time he wanted to ask his younger sister, she would pat his shoulder with a sigh and say earnestly, "Little brother, ignorance is bliss."

Xue Han felt that the younger brother was hopeless. After he had wronged the eldest sister-in-law, she was particularly glad that Sister Dong did not choose the younger brother, otherwise his life would have been so miserable. She began to sympathize with the future fourth sister-in-law and felt sorry for her on a daily basis.

Chang Zhi pursed his lips. He didn't feel that he had done anything. Chang Zhi was a generous man. After two days of struggling with the issue, he finally got it over with and went back to studying hard.

After the seventh day of the old lady's death, Mrs. Li recovered, but she still had a deep resentment towards Changzhi. Every time she saw Changzhi, she reminded herself to copy the scriptures. Not copying would be unfilial and she would be sorry for her grandmother. She was extremely distressed.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren are the elders, and they can keep themselves company when their son and daughter-in-law are around. But when they are alone in the house, they burst into laughter, and sometimes they can't stop laughing, and their laughter can be heard in the yard.

Then there was a chain reaction, which caused a burst of laughter.

Li didn't copy the scriptures until she became stupid, and she knew it was all because of her. Just look at the head of the family laughing so hard that he fell on the kang, and you will know how happy she is with her family.

Li gritted her teeth and complained, "What's so annoying about my brother-in-law?"

Time passed quickly, and before we knew it, it was already mid-August, the hottest day of summer. The Li family was so busy gossiping about other people's affairs that they were unwilling to go out.

Zhulan was even more annoyed. In ancient times, people did store ice in the winter when there was no air conditioning, but that was only available to wealthy families. Although she was a science student, she had forgotten the chemical principles of how to make ice. In high school, she studied hard for exams, and many years had passed since the college entrance examination. It was not a common thing in life, so she had long since returned the knowledge to her teacher.

Zhulan was so hot that she doubted her life. Xuemei came with her child. Zhulan fanned herself lazily, "You haven't been here for a long time. Why did you come in such a hot day?"

Ever since the daughter's mother-in-law came, Xuemei has not been coming home as often. The last time she came was more than a week ago!

Xuemei glanced at her son and daughter. Her son was older and knew what words he could learn and what he couldn't. The daughter was talkative and would easily imitate what she heard. Xuemei lowered her head and said to her son, "Take your sister to go play with your aunt."

Jiang Du held his sister's hand, knowing that his mother had something to say to his grandmother, "Grandma, I'm taking my sister out to play."

Zhulan said, "Go ahead and ask your aunt to bring you some candy and cookies."

The weather is too hot, so our family doesn’t buy many cakes anymore. Cakes are not as durable as cookies. Now our snacks are basically cookies. She will eat a few from time to time. The ones that are not polluted are the most delicious.

Xuemei waited until her son left before she said aggrievedly, "Mom, when do you think my mother-in-law will come back? She has lived here for a long time, why do I feel like she has no intention of not coming back?"

Zhulan counted the days and realized that she had lived there for quite a while. The daughter-in-law had tasted the sweetness of not having a mother-in-law. She had endured it to the limit. No matter how she changed, Jiang Wangshi was still a mother-in-law and would inevitably interfere in everything. The fact that the daughter-in-law didn't come back often was proof of that. "What did Jiang Sheng say?"

Xuemei said helplessly: "Jiang Sheng also wants his parents-in-law to go back, but he can't bring himself to ask."

Zhu Lan was curious, "What did your parents-in-law do that Jiang Sheng couldn't help it?"

Xuemei said in a long and lingering way, "My parents-in-law were very nice at first, helping with the housework. Jiang Sheng and I felt relieved, but it didn't last long. My father-in-law couldn't help but nag my husband about studying every day. My mother-in-law didn't nag my husband, but nag me instead, asking me to persuade my husband that studying was important. Jiang Sheng and I thought my parents-in-law wouldn't stay for long, so we just put up with them. But these days, we can't stand it anymore. Seeing that we don't listen, the old couple have been interfering more."

Her mother-in-law came to help her, and everyone in Zhoujia Village knew about it. Her mother-in-law was friendly and got along well with the women in Zhoujia Village. She was really aggrieved, but fortunately her mother-in-law was not easy to mess with, so even if they were dissatisfied with her, they did not dare to say anything nonsense in the village.
