Chapter 70 It's Not Easy to Be a Woman
Li was so excited that she danced with joy. "Wang Laosi bought all the spicy cabbage and spent twenty taels of silver. Mother, Wang Laosi really has money to spend twenty taels at once. I don't think Wang Zhang will let it go. Mother, how much money do you think Wang Laosi has? Where did he get so much money?"
Zhulan didn't explain the money, and Li didn't know about the recipe. "Okay, let's go cook!"
Li thought her mother didn't know either, so she went to make lunch happily. Standing and watching the hustle and bustle was quite tiring, and she was already hungry.
Zhulan was in a good mood. Wang Ru had shot herself in the foot by harming others. Not only did she fail to retaliate against the Wang family, she also exposed the silver. Twenty taels was given too generously. Not only did the Wang family think that Wang Laosi had become rich, but everyone in the village would think so. Wang Laosi's family could never have peace.
After lunch, Li left again to see what happened next.
Zhulan patted her granddaughter Yulu who was lying on the kang. The child was basically raised by Zhao. She teased the child's hand and said, "Your mother is heartless."
The little baby's dark eyes were wide open. No one guided her to speak, and she couldn't speak yet, so she just kept shouting "oh oh".
Zhulan narrowed her eyes and said, "I am grandma, call me grandma."
Zhao had been spending more time with her mother-in-law and knew that her mother was good to her granddaughter. She couldn't help but touch her belly. She was originally worried that it was still a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law would not like it, but now she felt more at ease. However, she still hoped it was a son. Only if there was a son in the family would the daughter-in-law not be bullied.
Zhulan noticed Zhao's movements and thought that pregnant women are afraid of worrying too much, so she couldn't help but comfort her, "I'm also happy that your baby is a granddaughter, don't think too much, I have a bad temper but I'm not a cruel person, just relax."
Zhao is a person with too many thoughts. It is not good to be a person with too many thoughts. Life will be too tiring. He is not as blessed as Li.
Zhao smiled brightly. Her mother-in-law was a person who kept her word. She was completely relieved. However, "Mom, I hope it's a son. Only if there is a son in the family, it won't affect Yu Shuang's reputation. In a family without a son, the reputation of a daughter-in-law is not good, and few people are willing to marry her."
Zhulan was a little dazzled by Zhao's smile, and then she noticed that Zhao was really beautiful. In her original memory, Zhao always lowered her head to wipe her tears, and her eyes were sad and unpleasant. No one likes a person with a sad face, so her original memory had never paid attention to Zhao's appearance.
Now that she was here, Zhao still cried and dared not raise her head. This was the first time she saw Zhao smile. No wonder her eldest granddaughter was like a fairy child. She had mentioned genetic mutation in her heart more than once. Only now did she know Zhao's genes.
The original body looked good, and Zhou Shuren was just better looking than an average person. Neither the couple had outstanding looks. The eldest and the second child were not good looking, so they were better looking than average people, and their figures were like those of the Yang family.
The third and fourth sons are just the opposite. Their faces look more like their uncle and Zhulan. Their looks are considered good in the village, but their bodies are thin like those of the Zhou family.
The two ladies picked out the best features of Zhulan and her husband, and they could barely be considered beauties among the pretty ones.
But Zhulan couldn't say anything that didn't go against her heart. The most beautiful girl in Xuehan's family couldn't compare to Zhao. Zhao was a real beauty. Zhou Laoer's eyes were really sharp. The more she thought about it, the deeper Zhulan's eyes became.
Seeing her mother-in-law staring at her, Zhao didn't dare to cry anymore and lowered her head even more, "Mom, am I wrong?"
Zhulan felt sorry for Zhao and held Zhao's hand, "You are right, it is not easy for women."
In the terrible ancient times, life was really difficult for women. Before marriage, they worried about affecting their reputation and having a bad marriage. After marriage, their mother-in-law set rules for them and they had to remember to obey their husbands. They were cautious all their lives and never lived for themselves even for a single day.
Zhao was furious. She felt that her mother-in-law had discovered her. She didn't dare to stay in her mother-in-law's room. She quickly picked up Yu Lu and said, "Mom, I'm going to take the child to bed."
Zhulan's voice softened, "Go ahead."
Zhao paused, her heart panicked, and she quickly left with the child in her arms!
