Chapter 161 They Undertook Too Much for Her
When the news first spread, Zhao was indeed furious at home.
She angrily accused Zeng Xiaoyan of being heartless and treacherous. Even if she disliked her, she was still a family member to her. How could she help outsiders ignore her family?
She even dragged her sister-in-law, Liu, into this: Wasn't Liu good enough to her? Is this how she repays me?
When Liu first learned about this, she was also shocked and felt extremely distressed about the money.
But Liu quickly calmed down.
It is impossible for my third brother's wife and I to hide this matter from my parents-in-law, which means that my parents-in-law must have known about it. If they still did this even though they knew about it, they must have their reasons.
As for the reason, she thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out.
But that didn't stop her from thinking so.
Now that this matter has spread, she believes that her parents-in-law will definitely give an explanation to the family.
Don’t they want to earn more money for their family?
After discussing it, Mrs. Liang and the head of the village, Liang did come up with an excuse.
The recipe was originally incomplete, and the three of them tried many times before finally making it. The three of them signed a written contract to do this together, so no one should have any other thoughts.
Zhao was skeptical, but still indignant: "Even if it's an incomplete recipe, why don't we ask one of our family members to try it out? Why ask an outsider? In the end, my third sister-in-law still sides with the outsider!"
Aunt Liang's face turned cold: "Zhichun is literate and intelligent, and your Aunt Zhu'er is meticulous and skillful. Can you compare? Besides, even if the recipe is incomplete, it has nothing to do with you. Do I have to give it to you?"
Zhao cried out of grievance, "How can you say that, mother? We are a family."
Aunt Liang sneered, "You know you're family now? How did you treat Xiaoyan before? Just because of your attitude, Xiaoyan still has to side with you? Why does she have to think of you first when something good happens? Zhao, as a person, you can't just blame others, you should also think about yourself. How you treat others is how others treat you. It's fair."
Zhao was filled with shame and indignation. In her rage, she even dragged Aunt Liang into it. "But mother, these two or three hundred coins should have belonged to our family. Now we have given more than half to others for nothing. Don't you feel bad?"
Aunt Liang laughed in anger at her, "I don't feel bad."
“.”
"Why should I feel bad? I didn't have a penny before, but now I have so much. It's like pie in the sky. I am very satisfied and don't dare to ask for too much. Otherwise, God will not tolerate it and something will happen."
She felt a little nervous when she said this. The income was at least six or seven hundred coins a day, which was really too much, so much that she felt a little uneasy.
Seeing that Zhao had nothing more to say, Aunt Liang said, "I'll give each of you thirty coins a month as your personal allowance. Don't ask about this matter again."
Liu was overjoyed and thanked him quickly.
Zhao was also delighted, but then blurted out, "How much does my third sister-in-law make in a month?"
Aunt Liang sneered: "She has as many rules as our family has."
Zhao's expression suddenly changed again.
Aunt Liang: "If you have the ability, it's the same."
Zhao was so angry that she felt wronged again.
Under Aunt Liang's suppression, Zhao was quiet for two days. Perhaps because she had heard too much of the various discussions and even provocations in the village, she became restless again and made a fuss to ask Zeng Xiaoyan to give the recipe to her family members as well, and said that her sister-in-law also thought so.
"There are so many people in the county town, even if two more shops sell this konjac tofu, it won't affect anything. The recipe is useless anyway, right? We won't take it for nothing. When we make money, we'll give a couple of taels of silver to my third sister-in-law."
When talking about giving Zeng Xiaoyan one or two taels of silver, Zhao couldn't help but shudder with heartache. In her opinion, one or two taels of silver was not a small amount. If the third brother's wife was sensible and kind, she would have taken the initiative to say no - how could she have the nerve to ask for it as a family member?
Zeng Xiaoyan ignored her and went to ask Liu first.
Liu was furious when she heard this. "This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't say anything. Second sister-in-law means second sister-in-law, don't bring me along."
This time, Zhao also offended the good-tempered Liu.
Not only did she not feel guilty, but she blamed Liu for not giving her face. "Sister-in-law may not say it, but doesn't she think so in her heart? I am the bad guy, and if I get any benefits, Sister-in-law will also get some. Sister-in-law doesn't thank me, but blames me. My kindness is really not rewarded."
Liu was disgusted. She had never argued with Zhao before, but she couldn't help but say, "You know whether it's kind or not. I can't accept your kindness. Second sister-in-law, please be kind and don't be so kind to me again. Also, I really didn't mean it that way."
Zeng Xiaoyan: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. If there is anything in the future, I will ask you personally to prevent others from making trouble again."
Zhao's head was almost smoking: "You all bully me! You all bully me!"
Zhao made a big fuss, and Aunt Liang scolded her and suppressed her.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shi did not give up even after failing to achieve her goal, and actually went to find Aunt Zhuer in private.
Zhu'er's aunt didn't let her have her wish, so she went home in anger and started making trouble again.
Last night, the Liang family's household was abuzz with activity, so much so that the Liang family nearly divorced Zhao. Zhao, of course, was not happy about this. She cried and complained that the Liang family, now wealthy and lucrative, looked down on her, a poor wife. She wanted to divorce Zhao, but there was no way she would do that. She had given birth to their children and worked so hard for them for so many years; they couldn't leave her behind.
She would rather hang herself with a rope at the gate of the Liang family than leave.
How could Aunt Liang allow her to manipulate her? She sneered coldly, "Although I've never been a wicked mother-in-law, I know how to be one. If you really make me angry, Zhao, do you think I can't deal with you?"
"Don't tell me about fairness or unfairness. What does it mean for a daughter-in-law to tell her what to do as a mother-in-law? If you want to live a good life, then everyone will live a good life. If you don't want to live a good life, then I will grant your wish."
Zhao was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She was angry and hateful, but she didn't dare to make a fuss anymore. She asked Liang Mingsong to take her back to her room.
Afterwards, Liang Lizheng said to Aunt Liang, "The second wife is too unreasonable. It's been so many years. Forget it. Don't bother with her. Don't make her angry. Just let it go. You just need to keep an eye on them and don't let her do anything naughty. Also, I think the two children are okay. You should teach them a lesson and don't let Zhao teach them bad things."
Zeng Xiaoyan was afraid that Aunt Zhu'er would feel wronged and felt quite guilty, so she said many words to comfort her.
Aunt Zhu'er felt a little embarrassed and quickly said with a smile, "It's okay." "I'm not that confused. Besides, I make so much every day. Just thinking about this, what else is there to worry about?"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "By the way, let me tell you something. Didn't I give you a lot of those newly cultivated seedlings earlier? How are they growing now?"
