He scolded her so much that tears welled up in her eyes. Overwhelmed with grievance, she threw down the broom in her hand and ran out in a huff.
What kind of nonsense is this? The daughter has clearly gone back to her parents' home, so why should she take all the betrothal gifts with her?
She said, "Why did we suddenly decide to establish a female household and separate from the family?"
It turns out that from the very beginning, we were on guard against them and plotting against them!
Feeling wronged and angry, Ms. Wei thought for a moment and then headed towards Ye Daquan's house.
I went inside.
Then I saw Mrs. Du cutting pig feed.
Madam Wei walked over: "Sister-in-law..."
Du looked up: "What's wrong?"
"Didn't you hire three servants? Why are you doing the work yourself?"
"Sigh, I've worked all my life, how can I stay idle? When I'm bored, I do something light, like chopping pig feed. It's not tiring, and it helps pass the time."
Hearing this, Wei felt a pang of jealousy and resentment.
We're all wealthy, so why does my sister-in-law get to enjoy life while I have to work myself to the bone doing housework?
But that's not what she came to say.
She pursed her lips: "Well... my little sister is getting married... and the father of her child actually said she'd take all the dowry with her..."
"Hmm, what's the problem?" Du asked, looking at her.
Wei choked... She came here seeking validation. At the same time, she wanted Du to step forward.
As long as the two daughters-in-law stand on the same side, even if Madam Du makes a fuss, the parents will at least consider the feelings of the eldest and second wives.
Even if you can't keep 70,000 or 80,000 taels, keeping 20,000 or 30,000 taels is still good.
To my surprise, Mrs. Du asked what the problem was.
Madam Wei wasn't sure if she was faking it, and wanted her to be upfront first. She pursed her lips and said, "I've never heard of a girl taking all the betrothal gifts with her when she gets married. Her parents raised her... she should at least leave some for them, shouldn't she?"
Mrs. Du was taken aback: "Do you know what you're saying?"
"You want your little sister to repay our parents for raising us? What, did your little sister never give our parents any money before? Let's not even talk about the 30 taels before, just look at now, not only are we provided with good food and lodging, but we also give each of us 5 taels of pocket money every month!"
"Your sister-in-law is so filial, how much does your family give your parents each month?"
Mrs. Wei's face turned ashen, and she remained silent.
At this moment, Ye Daquan came out carrying a box and hurriedly walked out.
Du called out, "Hey, where are you going?"
"I bought this little jade horse a couple of days ago, and I'm giving it to my younger sister as a gift."
After saying that, he dashed out of the second gate.
Just then, a servant from the Du family walked in through the second gate, smiling and saying, "Master has almost emptied the house, giving it all to Madam Ye as a dowry."
Mrs. Du rubbed her temples: "We have to buy them all again."
Wei and Ye Caiping had a falling out, and Wei got nothing in return. She felt resentful and unwilling because Du and Ye Caiping's families were close.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Whether it's the eldest brother or the head of the household, they only have their little sister in their hearts. No matter how much money the family earns, their little sister always comes first. We, the wives and children, are like air to them. If their little sister didn't refuse, they would all want to live over there!"
Du was taken aback, but rolled her eyes and said, "Air or not, what's the big deal!"
“If our family were so poor that we had nothing to eat, and he abandoned his children and gave all the food he had to my younger sister, I would fight him to the death. But we have plenty of money, so I don’t care what he gives us! Even if he gave us half of our family fortune, I wouldn’t care! Anyway, all this money was earned by my younger sister.”
"Now, even if he treats us like air, or even if he treats us like a fart, I'd be happy. Even if he moves into my sister's house and never comes back, and settles down there, I don't care. Anyway, I have money and food."
"My little sister treats us so well, not only does he kneel there and lick her boots, but I also have to wipe her drool for her!"
Weiss: "..."
While chopping pig feed, Madam Du continued to make startling remarks: "Besides, it's fortunate that he's devoted to my younger sister. If he had money and started pursuing other women, that would be truly heartbreaking. Luckily, it's my younger sister."
There are plenty of men who take mistresses when they have money, and many of them end up with broken families.
Fortunately, Ye Daquan is a doting brother who knows how to fawn over his little sister every day.
He only cares about spoiling his sister and doesn't care about the feelings of his wife and children.
As long as he hands over his income on time every month, they can manage on their own! Why would his grandfather need to lift a finger?
If Ye Daquan suddenly stops licking one day, she will slide over and take his stick to continue licking!
Besides, my younger sister is a reasonable person. She not only helped them get rich and make them successful, but also pointed out the way forward for her children.
She could never repay this debt of gratitude in her lifetime.
Mrs. Wei was furious. She came to seek validation, not to listen to the other party fawning over her sister-in-law!
...
Ms. Wei returned home in a daze, throwing and shoving her feet.
Wei Xiaojuan had just eaten and was feeling bloated, so she was sitting in the corridor digesting her food.
Mrs. Wei glanced at Wei Xiaojuan, who was slumped there, and then at the floor she had just half-swept.
When she left, the small pile of trash she had swept up was still there, and she was furious. She no longer cared about maintaining her reputation as a good mother-in-law, and said coldly:
"Wei Xiaojuan, are you disabled? You can't even sweep up the trash you see."
Wei Xiaojuan frowned, clutching her handkerchief, and walked to the small pile of trash. Then she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Husband! Husband~~~~"
Ye Peng was outside shoveling pig manure.
If we were poor in the past, this kind of dirty and tiring work wouldn't have been a big deal.
But now that there is clearly someone else at home who does nothing and pushes everything onto him, he feels resentful.
