81. Chapter 81: After helping the second brother, I must also help the eldest brother



Yang Xuezhen's face turned red and she wanted to get angry and leave, but she was worried that the job she arranged for her brother would be ruined, so she had to endure the humiliation and stay.

"As for how to divide this family, Dad, you and Mom can discuss it yourselves, or ask your uncles for help. If that doesn't work, ask the village. How difficult can it be to divide the family?"

Qin Jinlian was so angry that she wanted to stare two holes in her face. "What on earth are you angry about? You have to break up a good family to be happy, right?"

"A good family? What's good about it?"

Qin Jinlian choked.

She couldn't immediately put into words the benefits of not dividing the family, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that the current situation was pretty good. The eldest daughter-in-law was hardworking and kept the house in order. She was now looking forward to the second daughter-in-law giving her a big fat grandson.

Once the family was divided, the two sons lived their own lives behind closed doors. Who would care about her, an old woman?

"No! I don't agree to split up the family!" Qin Jinlian glared at Shen Mingzhu. "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled on the ground. Go out and see if there is any married woman like you. You are still meddling in your natal family's affairs after you get married. Aren't you ashamed?"

"Now you know that I'm a married daughter? You coaxed me into giving you a gold bracelet, you asked me to scrape together money to buy a gold chain for my second sister-in-law, and you asked Pei Yang to arrange a job for my second sister-in-law's brother. But you weren't polite at all, and you didn't treat me as an outsider."

The whole family looked at Qin Jinlian in shock, including Yang Xuezhen.

Although she wanted gold jewelry, she was not bold enough to take her sister-in-law's gold bracelet.

In front of Pei Yang, Shen Jianguo got angry at Qin Jinlian, "Did a donkey kick your brain or what? Are you crazy because of poverty? Don't you care about your dignity? You are such a disgrace!"

Shen Chaobei and Shen Xiangnan also blamed Qin Jinlian for doing something unkind.

Qin Jinlian felt aggrieved and blamed Shen Mingzhu for bringing up this matter.

"I just said it casually. I didn't mention it if Mingzhu didn't agree."

"What do you want? Do you want to rob it by force?" Shen Jianguo said angrily.

Shen Mingzhu spoke again at this time, "Actually, my mother and second sister-in-law are right. As a married woman, I really shouldn't interfere in my family's affairs. The only reason I'm intervening now is because you forced me to do so."

"Sister-in-law, are you satisfied with your marriage to my second brother? The betrothal gift of 200 yuan, three turns and one ring, the new house, the wedding banquet, everything is included. The betrothal gift of 550 yuan that Pei Yang gave to my parents was all spent on your marriage to my second brother. I married into the Pei family with nothing, except a few old clothes, not even a piece of cloth. The house I lived in has also been made into a new house for you. As a sister-in-law, am I being considerate enough?"

Yang Xuezhen remained silent, but she felt very disapproving in her heart.

In her opinion, it is not always like this in rural areas. The betrothal gift she received will be used to help her younger brother Yang Bo get married in the future.

As for letting Pei Yang arrange a job for Yang Bo, it was Qin Jinlian who agreed to it herself, and it could be considered part of the betrothal gift.

If the Shen family dares to go back on their word, even if she can bear it, her family members won't be able to tolerate it.

Shen Mingzhu also knew that the crux of the matter lay mainly with the Shen family, especially Qin Jinlian.

In order to find a wife for Shen Xiangnan and to make Shen Xiangnan a father, Qin Jinlian was willing to do anything and promise anything.

But she is not the original owner, and she is unwilling to be a "brother-supporting demon" who asks for whatever she wants.

"Mom, I admit that I helped my second sister-in-law's brother find a job, but this is the last time. If you dare to do it again without informing me, or go to Pei Yang or the Pei family to do something behind my back, I will immediately cut off ties with this family. I mean what I say."

"Pei Yang, listen to me, if you dare to agree to something without asking me, we're done! Divorce!"

Shen Mingzhu's words shocked the Shen family.

Especially Qin Jinlian, the word divorce almost frightened her to death.

She had worked so hard to marry her daughter to the city to enjoy a good life, and she also expected her daughter to help her two sons. If her son-in-law really divorced her daughter, who could she count on? "Mom, I'm different from you. You can be unprincipled and partial to the second brother, but I can't. In my heart, the eldest and second brothers are the same. They are both my brothers. I helped the second brother, so naturally I have to help the eldest brother."

"Sister-in-law, I don't have the ability to arrange a job for your family in the city, but I can give you a skill to make a living. Do you want it?"

Qin Jinlian asked, "What kind of craft?"

Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at Qin Jinlian and said, "I only teach this skill to my sister-in-law."

Qin Jinlian curled her lips, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to say anything more.

Shen Mingzhu looked at Yang Xuezhen again, "Second sister-in-law, Pei Yang arranged a job for your brother from your mother's side. I'm giving you a skill to make a living. Do you have any objection?"

Yang Xuezhen's lips moved but she didn't say anything for a long time, as if she was weighing the pros and cons of the two options.

A job in the city is hard to come by, but skills are a guarantee of a lifetime of food.

"Can I ask first, what is your craft?"

After struggling for a long time, Yang Xuezhen finally asked.

"Making egg cakes. I looked around the market today and didn't see anyone selling egg cakes. My sister-in-law has learned this craft. She can sell egg cakes at the market every day and earn some extra income."

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Suddenly, Du Juan looked at Shen Mingzhu with eyes full of gratitude and emotion.

She had heard that her sister-in-law made a lot of money in the city by making egg cakes.

Yang Xuezhen was also tempted. Who doesn't want to make money? But she was too embarrassed to speak up, so she pushed Shen Xiangnan beside her.

Shen Xiangnan immediately said: "Mingzhu, when you teach your sister-in-law, you can also teach Xuezhen. We are all family, and we can make money together."

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "We are all family. When mom bought a gold necklace for my second sister-in-law, why didn't she think of buying one for my eldest sister-in-law as well?"

Shen Xiangnan was embarrassed.

"Forget it, I won't learn it anymore. Let my sister-in-law learn it and let her earn the money alone." Yang Xuezhen said sarcastically.

Shen Mingzhu glared at the other party with a half-smile, "Second sister-in-law, you should know how to be content. You can't have more than you want. To put it bluntly, I didn't agree to arrange a job for your brother from your mother's side. Now I don't recognize you, what can you do to me? If you don't live with my second brother, what does it have to do with me?"

"If you want someone to do something for you, treat them as you would if they did. Don't act so pretentiously. I, Shen Mingzhu, won't fall for it."

Yang Xuezhen was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't say anything. As for what she was thinking in her heart, Shen Mingzhu didn't bother to care.

"When the family is divided, the job of my second sister-in-law's brother will be finalized."

After saying this, Shen Mingzhu left her parents' home with her family, regardless of the Shen family's attempts to keep her.

I came with a lot of luggage, but left feeling relaxed. Since I didn't plan to stay long, I didn't bring any clothes back. I just brought towels, toothbrushes and other things, which all fit in a backpack.

"Mingzhu, Pei Yang, wait..."

When they were about to leave Shenjiagou, Qin Jinlian chased out shouting and screaming.

Seeing the hare and other things in Qin Jinlian's hands, Pei Yang turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "Mom is still worried about you."

Shen Mingzhu sneered.

They are indeed concerned, but it is hard to say whether they are concerned about her or about something else.
