Chapter 247 Biased

Dong Chuchu held the chopsticks and silently told herself not to be angry. Don't be angry. Her mother said that whatever sister-in-law Li said should be treated as nonsense because sister-in-law didn't have bad intentions. People like this should get along well with each other. If she really can't help getting angry, let her think more about her own sister-in-law. Dong Chuchu thought of her own sister-in-law and her anger disappeared. It is better to speak frankly than to hide a dagger behind a smile.

Dong Chuchu let go of her chopsticks and looked at her eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Li, who was angry. She had no idea that her second sister-in-law was reminding her. She was no longer angry and wanted to laugh for some reason. She suddenly felt that it didn't matter if the meal was not cooked. At worst, she could cook it later. Sooner or later, there would be a chance. After she figured it out, she smiled more and ate the meal with the dishes. Well, the meal cooked by her eldest sister-in-law is really delicious.

Dong Chuchu's changes were all seen by the Zhou family's sperm.

Zhulan was relieved. She had met Chuchu several times but had never talked to her. All she knew about Dong Chuchu was from Xuehan. She only knew that Chuchu had a good personality, was generous and polite, and was good at needlework. She didn't know much else. She was really worried that Chuchu, the youngest and an older woman, would be spoiled and wouldn't get along well with Li and others. Now it seemed that although she was young, she was sensible and not the kind of person who would quibble.

Zhao let out a sigh of relief. It would be fine if her sister-in-law was not difficult to get along with. She was really afraid that the official's daughter would be too competitive and want to take the lead in everything.

Chang Lian breathed a sigh of relief. He liked Dong Chuchu very much, not only because of her status, but also because of Dong Chuchu as a person. He didn't want Chuchu and his sister-in-law to get along badly. When Chang Lian saw Dong Chuchu looking at him, his ears turned red.

They couldn't consummate their marriage yesterday, and they slept together. It was the first time for him to sleep with a girl, and her wife at that. He didn't dare to move and was very stiff last night. In the morning, he just hugged a piece of meat. Well, it's his fault.

He was a restless sleeper and liked to hug something when sleeping. When Rongchuan lived with him, he was afraid that his bad habit would cause him to hug Rongchuan, so he and Rongchuan slept at opposite ends of the bed with a quilt in the middle to prevent himself from hugging something while sleeping at night. At least he had the quilt to protect him.

The effect was obvious, he had never hugged Rongchuan.

He hugged Chuchu last night. Compared with his skinny body, Chuchu was really plump. It was a pity that they had to sleep in separate rooms after tonight. He found that hugging a plump ball was much more comfortable than hugging a pillow.

Chuchu didn't know what her husband was thinking. She knew he was furious. What fat balls? She was obviously not fat.

Li finally realized that he had done something stupid and stopped being attentive out of embarrassment.

After the meal, tea was served. Since there was a daughter-in-law of an official family, Zhulan felt it difficult to give her a red envelope, as there were two other daughters-in-law above her!

In Zhulan's memory, when Li offered tea, she gave her a red envelope of six silver coins because she was the eldest daughter-in-law.

When it came to Zhao, because she was not the daughter-in-law chosen by the original body, and the daughter-in-law kept her head down and was not pleasing, she was given a coin.

The original body's memory could not give Zhulan any help. After all, the third daughter-in-law was a daughter of an official family, and a daughter of an official family with a rich dowry. Her return gift was too little, and it would not look good when Dong returned to her parents' home and asked about it, and she would appear to be stingy.

Since Li and Zhao were also her daughters-in-law, she could not favor one over the other. After careful consideration, she made up her mind to buy three pairs of jade bracelets, spending sixty taels of silver. Suddenly, the family had a lot less silver.

Fortunately, the Zheng family plotted against them, so she had enough spare money. Otherwise, the male protagonist would have spent all the family's savings on the New Year gifts, wedding banquet, and jade bracelets.

After calculating all her family assets, Zhulan had less than two hundred taels of silver left.

Zhulan came out with a jade bracelet in her hand. The tea mat was already set. Zhulan sat down at the main seat. "Let's begin!"

Chang Lian led Dong to kneel down, and Li held the tea tray. Chang Lian and Dong took it and served tea to Zhou Shuren first.

Chang Lian, "Dad, please have some tea."

Zhou Shuren took it and took a sip, saying, "Once you have a family, you are an adult. You must take your own responsibilities. You must think twice before doing anything in the future and not act rashly. I hope you will remember this."

Chang Lian was a little disappointed that his father didn't give him more instructions, but he didn't dare to let it out. He said respectfully, "Remember your father's teachings."

Dong Chuchu was a little afraid of her father-in-law. For her father-in-law to be valued by him, he must be very important. She was especially respectful. "Dad, please have some tea."

Zhou Shuren took it. He didn't have much to tell his daughter-in-law, so he just nodded as a sign of agreement.

Chang Lian was afraid that his wife would scare his father, so he quickly brought a new cup of tea to his mother, "Mom, please have some tea."

Zhulan had no feelings yesterday, but she did today. She felt like her own son had started a family. She was quite emotional. Changlian had changed a lot in just one day after getting married. He had become much more stable and even cared for his wife. She took the tea and took a sip. "Mother, I have a few more words to say today. Mrs. Dong is the one who will accompany you for the rest of your life. I hope you will be more humble and kind to her in the future."

Life was not easy for women in ancient times. If their husbands did not treat them well, their lives would be a tragedy.

From now on, she will call Dong Chuchu "Ms. Dong". This is the name that Chang Lian calls her in private, and Chang Lian will only call her "Ms. Dong" in public.

Chang Lian was not surprised that his mother would say these words. In his eyes, his mother was a happy woman who had been spoiled by his father all her life. Although he could not do as well as his father, he was still his father's son. He was determined to become a person like his father and promised, "Mom, I am your father's son. If you are still worried, I will definitely treat Mrs. Dong well."

Zhulan laughed in her heart. She believed in the eldest, the second and the old son, but she had doubts about Chang Lian. She was skeptical. This boy was unpredictable. She and Zhou Shuren could control him now, but when he became powerful in the future, she and Zhou Shuren would be too old to control him. So she would just listen to Chang Lian and wait to see the result.

Dong was touched by her mother-in-law's words for her and by her husband's assurance.

Zhulan saw that Dong was still young and was so easily moved. People in the ancient times were really cheating. Dong’s age was just the right time to be looking forward to her future husband. In the ancient times, people got married early and children matured precociously!

Mrs. Dong held the tea and said, "Mother, please have some tea."

Zhulan took it with a smile, took a sip and put down the teacup, picked up the jade bracelet on the table and pulled Dong's gloves up, "My family is incomparable to your mother's family. This is mother's intention. I hope you can support each other in the future and achieve a happy marriage."

Dong had the foundation laid by her mother, so she was well prepared and did not need to receive any tea gift. She did not expect that her mother-in-law would give her a pair of jade bracelets, the quality of which could not be less than twenty taels. She could not help but glance at her two sisters-in-law.

Li's eyes turned red, she didn't even have a piece of jade jewelry, her nose felt sour, she was the eldest daughter-in-law, obviously she was her mother's favorite daughter-in-law, she felt wronged, she squeezed her two fat hands, her mother was partial!

Zhao saw clearly that Dong's status would not be low in the tea ceremony, but her mother had always treated her equally for more than a year, so she felt a little unhappy. She lowered her head and stopped looking at the jade bracelet. Even her sister-in-law didn't have one, so she didn't dare to covet it.

Mrs. Dong quickly retracted her gaze, not daring to look at her mother-in-law's expression. Mother said that her mother-in-law was kind-hearted but also shrewd. She did not dare to play tricks on her. She took the prepared gift and said, "Mother, this is the dress I made for you, and this is the book for dad."

Zhou Shuren looked at the title of the book and was very satisfied. This was a book on the county grandfather's bookshelf and he had set his eyes on it a long time ago. Although it was not an original handwritten copy, it was still precious.

Zhulan touched the needle and thread of the dress. She was really good at sewing. She looked at the design of the dress. It was a dress for social events. The color was not too dark. It was in accordance with her preferences. "That's thoughtful. All right, you guys get up and go meet brother and sister-in-law!"

When Mrs. Dong overheard her mother-in-law say that she liked the dress, she felt completely relieved. It was her father-in-law who prepared it and her mother who asked her to make the dress. Her father and mother really understood her in-laws!

Chang Lian took Dong to see his elder brother. Dong called him elder brother, and when it came to Li, she called him "sister-in-law."

Li held the box in her fat hands. In the box were the meeting gifts for her younger brother and sister-in-law. It was her mother's advice that she should prepare the meeting gifts, but when she saw Dong's bracelet, she didn't want to give it to her anymore.
