Chapter 196: My Father and Mother

Zhulan fanned herself, thinking that the wound had healed and the pain had been forgotten. Fortunately, Jiang Wangshi had a long memory and did not dare to torture Xuemei. Looking at the frustrated lady, she asked, "Did you come to me to ask me to find a solution? Or did you want me to intervene?"

Xuemei knew that it was not good for her mother to interfere, but she had tried both hints and explicit instructions, but her mother-in-law would not respond to her words and was unwilling to leave. She even invited people to her house to chat every day, which prevented her from going back to her parents' home. Today, she was able to come back, but she took advantage of her mother-in-law not paying attention and brought the children with her. She had seen that her mother-in-law was very scheming and it was suffocating her. "Mom, I have no choice. You don't know how good my mother-in-law's reputation is in Zhoujia Village. Whenever I go out, people who see me say that I am enjoying a good life."

What a bullshit enjoyment! Every time she has a stiff face and is extremely angry.

Zhulan really didn't know that the weather was getting hotter and she was even more reluctant to go out. Except for the two times when Dong Lin invited her to go to the county, she had never been out. In ancient times, she was the one who stayed at home. When the daughter-in-law said, "In the future, when I look for a relative, I will definitely not look for someone like your mother-in-law."

Xuemei, "........Mother."

Doesn't this hurt her heart?

Zhulan didn't feel guilty. The original in-laws weren't hers, but they gave her a lot of experience. She laughed dryly, "I didn't know people well before. Who gave your mother-in-law a good reputation? Well, it's because your mother-in-law hid it too well."

Xuemei felt that her mother's words were too perfunctory, "Mom, please help me, I really have no other choice."

Zhulan had many ideas, but she couldn't intervene. "My dear, your father and I intervened once because you and Jiang Sheng really couldn't get over it. Now it's different. You've moved to Zhoujia Village, and Jiang Sheng makes a little money a month. If I intervene again and drive your parents-in-law away, we won't be right. Besides, Jiang Sheng never told you to go home and tell me!"

Xuemei was stunned for a moment. Jiang Sheng was just talking, but he really didn't ask for help from the Yue family. She pursed her lips and said, "No."

Zhulan, "Look, Jiang Sheng doesn't want us to get involved. After all, this is your family's business, and his parents haven't done anything wrong. What would Jiang Sheng think if I intervened? Silly girl, this is not good for your relationship. Your mother-in-law is a good person who can pretend. She keeps nagging from time to time. Sooner or later, it will affect your relationship. After all, they are your parents."

Moreover, the lady's words were full of water. Jiang Sheng was impatient. Jiang Sheng was not at home during the day, so the lady was not as depressed as before.

Xuemei was disappointed because her mother was right. After all, they were her biological parents. The kindness that her in-laws had shown to her husband over the years could not be completely wiped out by one or two incidents. "So, how am I going to live like this?"

Zhulan couldn't interfere, but she could give some advice, "Just provide them with good food and drink. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and your parents-in-law will definitely come back. A year's food supply is a big deal. And if your parents-in-law ask you to study, just persuade them and follow their lead. You are too young. As long as you have money in your own hands, your parents-in-law will take care of it if they want to. You won't have to worry about it!"

Xuemei was stunned. Her mother was her mother. She had consumed much more salt than she did. After hearing what her mother said, she suddenly understood and smiled. "Mom, you really understand."

Zhulan put down her fan and said, "It's getting late. You should hurry back. When you leave, take some pickled vegetables that your sister-in-law prepared. They go really well with rice."

Xuemei, "Is sister-in-law pickling vegetables again?"

Last time, my eldest sister-in-law sent some to her, but she said that she didn’t pickle much, and she was too embarrassed to go back to her parents’ home to get some. Even after learning how to pickle it from her sister-in-law, she couldn’t get the same taste, so she stopped bothering with it later.

Zhulan said, "The vegetables in the yard have been growing fast recently, and we can't eat them all at home. Your sister-in-law pickled a lot of them. Please take some more when you leave."

"Then I'll be polite."

Zhulan did not go out to see her daughter off, she really did not want to move. Xuemei went home, but the child did not go with her. The young family went home after lunch.

In the afternoon, Zhulan couldn't sleep because the weather was too hot. She didn't come out of the house until the students got home from school. She found a cool place to sit and watch Li and Zhao picking vegetables. There were too many vegetables at home, and even if Li pickled a lot of them, they couldn't be eaten all. Zhulan dried all the vegetables that could be dried and saved them for the winter.

Zhulan was enjoying the cool breeze when Changlian came over and looked like he had something to say. "What's up?"

It's rare to see Chang Lian being so shy, and I don't know what he wants to say.
