Chapter 115 The Zeng Family Comes
Aunt Liang was shocked and angry, and was completely stunned after hearing these words.
The Liang family was a clean family that valued its reputation the most and was always proud of it. To say that a daughter-in-law was stealing from her own family to support her husband's family was a profound shame and humiliation.
It just so happened that the vegetable garden had to be worked on today, so the second daughter-in-law, Zhao, did not go out to work. Just as she was about to go to the vegetable garden, Nanny Fang came and delayed her by boiling water for tea.
Zhao loved to eavesdrop, and she would not miss anything that could be done openly. She was also shocked by what Nanny Fang said.
She rushed forward angrily and said, "Mom, those recipes were actually stolen by my third brother's wife from the Zeng family! Then why—"
"Shut up!"
Aunt Liang glared at her and scolded her.
This daughter-in-law was not chosen by her, but by the second son himself. She had chosen the daughter-in-law's elder sister.
She is a mother-in-law with a miserable life. Among her three daughters-in-law, she only likes the daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law of the third daughter no longer quarrels with the daughter-in-law of the second daughter and has become much more sensible. But when will the daughter-in-law of the second daughter stop causing trouble?
She understood what she was thinking as soon as she heard half of what she said.
She wanted to ask, "Why did my third brother's wife get married to Xu Zhichun and Aunt Zhu'er for free? Why didn't they take their own sisters-in-law with them?"
She also knew that fortunately Zhao didn't know how much money the third daughter-in-law and her family earned in a day, otherwise there would have been a huge uproar.
Nanny Fang glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with disdain, as if she had nothing to do with the matter and was as calm as a chrysanthemum. "Madam, please give the prescription to this old servant as soon as possible so that I can take it back and report it."
Zhao smiled and said, "Madam, my third brother's wife and his family have gone to the city to sell that gray tofu. They are not at home."
Nanny Fang: "Then search her room. You'll find it eventually."
There wasn't much room left, where else could she hide? Even if the box was locked, we could just break it open.
Zhao was actually a little eager to make a move, "Mother"
She had long wanted to see how much dowry her third brother's wife had, and this was the perfect opportunity to see it all. Maybe she could even take advantage of it and make a killing.
It's really rare to see a good room locked. Who are they protecting?
Aunt Liang wanted to slap her.
"Madam Fang, ever since Xiaoyan got married, she's been filial to her parents-in-law, harmonious with her sisters-in-law, and gets along well with the villagers. She's diligent and sweet-talking, a good child. I don't believe she would do such a thing. Is there some misunderstanding? I think we should wait until they come back and talk about it."
Nanny Fang's face darkened slightly. "Madam, do you think I'm lying? What happens to the Third Miss now is none of her business, but people are hard to change. I advise you to be more careful. This is your family affair, and I shouldn't interfere. Please just give me the prescription. If the Third Miss has anything to say, please tell her to go to the Master and the Madam. I'm afraid she might not dare to go because she feels guilty."
Aunt Liang: "But as far as I know, that recipe belongs to one of our daughters-in-law, Xu, not Xiaoyan. How could it be from the Zeng family?"
Nanny Fang sneered, "That's why I said Third Young Lady was so cunning. She deliberately claimed those recipes belonged to someone else to clear herself of any wrongdoing. But these recipes originally belonged to the Zeng family, and she can't deny it no matter what she does."
Zhao opened her eyes wide and screamed, "It's actually like this!"
Aunt Liang glared at her: Shut up!
Aunt Liang was extremely confused and she was also in a mess all of a sudden.
Instinctively, she felt that Nanny Fang represented Madam Zeng and would definitely not lie - Madam Zeng was so rich and respectable, how could she lie?
Besides, how could there be such a shameless person in the world? They could send someone to their house and ask for something that clearly didn't belong to them?
This doesn't make sense.
Xiaoyan doesn't have a good relationship with her family, and her temper isn't very good either. Aunt Liang knows all of this.
She suffered a lot of grievances when she was at her parents' home, and maybe she would really steal the Zeng family's recipe in revenge.
But she felt it was unlikely.
Xiaoyan doesn't seem like that kind of person.
If she had really stolen it, she would definitely not use it, let alone give it to Zhichun and hide it from her family. Zhichun was not that kind of person either.
But Aunt Fang said it so confidently
Two little people were fighting in Aunt Liang's mind, making it a mess.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more uncertain and unbelievable she felt.
Nanny Fang looked at her coldly, and knowing that she was wavering, she immediately became even more aggressive.
Aunt Liang was doubtful and felt more guilty under the other party's "righteousness" and was defeated step by step.
Just when she was about to give up and was forced to nod and agree to let Nanny Fang search Zeng Xiaoyan's house, fortunately Liang Lizheng came back.
Liang Lizheng is not so easy to fool.
Nanny Fang couldn't gain any advantage against Liang Lizheng at all.
No matter how much she said, Liang Lizheng only said: "We only know that the recipe belongs to Xu's family. If there is a recipe like this, who wouldn't hide it well? How could it be stolen so easily? I am optimistic about Xiaoyan, she would never do such a thing. If you must say so, you must have evidence."
"Without evidence, it's slander. No matter who says it, it's useless. Evidence can't be produced by words alone."
Nanny Fang was at her wit's end. She cursed in her heart a hundred times, and finally left angrily with harsh words.
Zhao's face was full of gossip. "Dad, my third sister-in-law is not a good person. She likes to argue about everything. Maybe she really did it? She got the prescription and didn't give it to her family. Instead, she gave it to outsiders. I don't know what she was thinking."
Aunt Liang was very angry again.
Liang Lizheng was not angry, because he had already known what kind of daughter-in-law this was.
"Are you that Madam Fang? Do you believe everything she says? I heard a few words about what happened today, so you should go back to your parents' home and stay there for half a year."
Zhao was angry and ashamed, but she was being held in a tight spot.
Her parents' home is not as good as her husband's home. She still knows this clearly.
Aunt Liang's heart, which had been pounding wildly, finally calmed down a bit, and she finally regained some of her dignity as a mother-in-law: "What are you still standing there for? You haven't heard enough after listening for so long? Do you still want to hear what your father and I have to say? Hurry and clean up the vegetable garden."
Zhao felt embarrassed and didn't dare to eavesdrop anymore. She lowered her head and left reluctantly.
Aunt Liang talked about this with Liang Lizheng, who told her not to worry and that he trusted Xu Zhichun and his third daughter-in-law.
On the contrary, he did not dare to trust the people around Mrs. Zeng easily.
Liang Lizheng concealed the stupid things his second daughter-in-law said, but told everything else.
It took Xu Zhichun a while to come back to his senses.
"Uncle Lizheng, I've finally experienced what it means to have a mouth all over your body and still not be able to explain it."
If this happened in modern times and was posted on a gossip forum, it would definitely go viral in one day, be featured in two days, and be pinned to the top of the forum in three days.
It's clearly hers, so how can she prove it's hers? How can she prove my dad is my dad and my mom is my mom? And since my household registration and ID card can't serve as evidence?
