Chapter 221: Raise Your Head

Zhao's eyes were red. She knew that after so many years, her mother had been sold in Pingzhou and it would not be easy to find her. She still held on to hope and asked the head of the household to inquire. Her father and grandmother sold her mother in front of her. She only remembered that the family who took her mother away was surnamed Yun.

She knew it was difficult to find out a surname, so she still held on to her fantasy. The head of the household found out that there was no one surnamed Yun among the wealthy families in Pingzhou. She felt upset for a moment, and she couldn't adjust her mood when she heard her mother-in-law calling her. She calmed down and shook her head, "Mom, the head of the household almost dropped Mingrui just now. I was shocked and I couldn't recover for a while."

Zhulan knew that Zhao was not telling the truth, and she had no intention of asking questions. As long as it was not Changyi's fault, "It's good that he didn't fall."

Zhao adjusted her mindset and said with a smile, "Mom, are you looking for me and my sister-in-law to prepare dinner?"

Zhulan, "Well, your father and his family are back. Let's stew a chicken tonight and kill our own chickens."

Zhao asked, "Only kill chickens?"

This is too easy. Judging from the way my mother looked just now, she shouldn't just kill the chickens to eat.

Zhulan smiled and said, "Your father brought back salted pork and two roast ducks from Pingzhou. The meat and vegetables are all ready. Just stew a chicken. By the way, I have divided the things I brought back from Pingzhou. You can take them back to your rooms first."

Zhao touched her wrist. This was the silver bracelet that the head of the family bought for her. She felt sweet inside and said, "Thank you, mother."

Zhulan didn't hear Li's response. She saw Li staring at Zhao blankly. Zhulan could see that Zhao was distracted just now. Li saw Zhao's expression clearly and pulled Li's hand, "Why are you in a daze? Didn't you hear what I said to you?"

Li pointed her fat finger at Zhao, "Mom, she, my sister-in-law, is so beautiful. Is this really Zhao?"

When Zhao heard this, she realized it was too late to bow her head. Her heart tensed for a moment, then relaxed again, with a feeling of relief. Who doesn't want to show their true face? Who would want to hide? With her parents at home to keep her safe, she was not afraid of being discovered. Zhao was stunned. She had unknowingly developed such a high level of trust in her in-laws.

Li was stunned. She felt like she didn't know how to describe Zhao. Zhao was the most beautiful person she had ever seen. Even women were stunned by her. Li realized belatedly that Yu Shuang never went out to play. Now she realized that it was because Yu Shuang was so beautiful and Zhao was also so beautiful, so Zhao had always kept her head down with her hair covering her face. Looking at her mother-in-law's calm look, she wouldn't be the last one to know, right?

Zhulan didn't know why Li was feeling wronged again. She didn't understand Zhao's train of thought. She frowned and said, "Your appearance was given by your parents. Don't feel sad."

Li, "........Mother, what did you say?"

Doesn't this hurt her heart? She really didn't pay attention to her appearance, but when her mother-in-law mentioned it, she noticed it. She looked down at her fat belly, which people who didn't know would think she was pregnant. Then she looked at her fingers, and she felt a strong sense of crisis. Who doesn't love beautiful women? She even liked Zhao. No, she couldn't let Zhao occupy her mother-in-law.

Zhulan saw Li's reaction and knew she had guessed wrong. She looked wooden-faced. She and Li really had different trains of thought. As for what Li was feeling wronged about, she didn't want to bother guessing. Anyway, Li's emotions would disappear quickly after a while.

Li saw her mother go to the kitchen and hurriedly followed her, "Mom, do you think it's too late for me to lose weight now?"

Zhulan turned around and warned, "Don't tell anyone that you want to lose weight, or you might get beaten if you go out."

After saying that, Zhulan ignored the upset Li. Anyway, Li would never lose weight. This was a genetic problem. All the members of the Li family were fat, and it was obvious that they had strong genes.

Li was quite smart. Although she could not immediately react to what her mother-in-law meant, she understood after thinking about it for a while. If she went to the village and said she wanted to lose weight, she would be easily beaten. In Zhoujia Village, only her family had good food. While the villagers still looked forward to eating more meat during the New Year, her husband's family had never stopped eating meat for a year. Her stomach was bloated. Meat was no longer her favorite food, but for other households in the village, it was good enough to be full. She also wanted to lose weight. Wasn't that showing off?

Li shivered, then remembered to ask Zhao, "What did mother tell me when I was distracted?"

Zhao smiled. Her sister-in-law did have many little flaws, but she was not jealous of her looks and treated her the same as always. She felt warm in her heart and repeated what her mother-in-law had just told her.

Li pulled Zhao and said, "I have been thinking about dividing the things for a long time. If the boss hadn't pulled me back, I wouldn't want to leave!"

Inadvertently speaking out what was in his heart, Li gave a dry laugh.

For the first time, Zhao walked with her back straight and her head held high, her steps brisk. She didn't care about her sister-in-law's little thoughts at all. She didn't know when was the last time she walked with her back straight. It seemed like she was very young. Since she grew up, her mother never let her show her true face. Now she feels really good.

Zhulan waited for Zhao to come back with the chicken, and then said to Zhao, "Just walk with your back straight at home, and pretend when you have guests or when you are outside."

She didn't dare to say this a year ago because she and Zhou Shuren did not have good control over the Zhou family. Now she dares to say it, not only because she understands the children of the Zhou family, but also because she and Zhou Shuren are confident in their control of the Zhou family.

Moreover, everyone in the family is smart. They didn't pay attention to Yu Shuang before because she was a child, but sooner or later they would notice her. They couldn't hide it. Zhao's revealing of her true face was also a kind of trust, which could also better unite the Zhou family.

Zhao was still a little nervous, but her mother-in-law's words reassured her, "Yes."

Zhao did not change his hairstyle, he just raised his head, which reduced the impact a lot, but revealed his true face. Except for the eldest brother who was shocked, Chang Lian and Chang Zhi were more enlightened.

Uncle Zhou couldn't stare at his younger brother's wife, and since Zhao loved to cry, he had no time to hide. He had never paid attention to Zhao. When he saw her true appearance, his first reaction was that no wonder Second Brother Zhou was determined to exchange food for his wife!

Brother-in-law Chang Lian didn't feel comfortable staring at his second sister-in-law. He used to think that she was annoying and sad. Later, she stopped crying and still had no sense of existence. But sometimes he thought she was weird. When he saw her true face, everything was explained. This appearance must be a disaster. He really admired his second brother's courage. Not everyone can resist a beauty. His second brother is really brave!

Changzhi had never paid attention to his second sister-in-law, but today he finally figured it out. He frowned and thought it would be better for his second sister-in-law to cry from time to time. If she was annoying, no one would pay attention to her anymore.

Xue Han had spent the most time with Zhao and had known Zhao's true appearance for a long time.

Zhulan saw the expressions of her sons and was very satisfied. She cleared her throat and said, "You must remember that we are a family. Family members trust each other. I'm going to say this in advance. If anyone dares to have evil thoughts, I'll let your father take care of you."

The Zhou family's sons, "........"

How can mother use father to scare them! Although it works very well!
