Huang Lifang was a little moved by her third sister's words. To be honest, she sometimes felt that her mother-in-law was too partial and always looked down on her and her second brother's wife. She would give priority to her third brother's wife when it came to delicious food and beautiful fabrics. Her father-in-law started treating her better by sending gifts and money from her parents' home, but her second brother's wife's family didn't send anything, so she became the most disliked daughter-in-law. If her parents stopped sending gifts in the future, she would become the most disliked daughter-in-law again.
"Mom and Dad, I really don't want to split the family. My parents-in-law are old, so if it's not too much, I still don't want to bring up the idea of splitting the family.
How about this, from now on, you don't need to send things and money to my family anymore. My daughter doesn't feel at ease using them. At the same time, it's also a test for my parents-in-law. If you don't send us things and money and they treat us well, we won't mention separation. If they don't treat us well, or are like my second brother's wife's family, or even worse, then I will ask for separation. Mom and Dad, Husband, do you think this method is okay? "Huang Lifang knew that her husband was honest and loyal, and he would definitely not agree to the proposal of separation. If he saw that his parents were not good to him, his wife and children, he would ask for separation for his wife and children. She wanted to test the character of her parents-in-law and also wanted to test her husband's bottom line. She didn't care how she was wronged, but she wanted her son and daughter to live a carefree life.
"This is a good idea. Your father and I have no objection. This is also to make you give up. Let's do it this way.
If one day, the family really splits up, you can tell your mother that you don't need their house, but you must give Haoxuan and Haojie some land. Your mother's family will give you money to build a house." Yu Jinmei agreed with her daughter's suggestion. Given the character of her in-laws, without money and food, their true colors would definitely show, and they would treat her daughter and son-in-law even worse. She was just waiting for her daughter to split up, and then she would use her private money to build a house for her daughter.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad. It's my fault that I'm useless. Not only can I not support you, but I also make you worry about us and even spend money on us." Huang Lifang felt guilty. It was her fault that she couldn't become as strong as her third sister, so that no one in her husband's family would dare to bully her, and she could use money to support her parents' family.
"Silly child, no matter what you become, you are the flesh and blood of your mother, you are your child. How can your mother not care about you and love you?" Yu Jinmei said to Huang Lifang.
"Well, it's great to have a mother!" Huang Lifang said with great emotion.
"Second sister is right, it's great to have a mother!" Huang Lijuan said in agreement.
"What? Dad is not feeling well?" Huang Fugui said jealously.
Isn't it said that a daughter is her father's little cotton-padded jacket? How come she is a little cotton-padded jacket with a leak?
"Okay, it's good to have a dad!" Huang Lifang and Huang Lijuan said in unison.
The hall is filled with warmth and the courtyard on the second floor is also cheerful.
Zhang Haoxuan took Zhang Meilan and Zhang Haojie into the main room on the second floor. Hearing the laughter of children coming from inside, Zhang Haoxuan did not go in. He was already a big boy and could not enter his cousin's room casually. He took Haojie to wait in the living room and let Zhang Meilan go in.
"Hey, cousin Meilan, you're here. Come in and sit down." Huang Yuejiao was very happy to see cousin Meilan and asked her to come in quickly.
"No, my brother and younger brother are waiting for us in the living room," said Zhang Meilan.
"You are my cousin Meilan. I almost didn't recognize you. You have become such a beauty." Yang Qingman said happily to her cousin. She had only met this cousin a few times and almost didn't recognize her.
"You're Cousin Qingman! You're amazing! You make such beautiful puppets," Zhang Meilan said happily to Yang Qingman. Although her cousin's puppet shop wasn't located in Tongren Town, many people still went to Anping Town to buy hers. There was one in her village, and she said Anping Town couldn't sell enough puppets. She had to wait in a long line to get hers, which made her so happy that she showed them off every day.
"Cousin Meilan, did you buy it?" Yang Qingman asked Zhang Meilan.
"No, we can't afford the money." Zhang Meilan said sadly.
"It's okay, your cousin will give you a panda pendant. As for the dolls, your cousin will make one for everyone." This time she came suddenly and she was not prepared. She just took all the pendants when she passed by Anping Town, and also brought a lot of cloth to make dolls. The five sisters agreed that during the few days at their grandparents' house, they would make a doll for each of their cousins.
Yang Qingman took out a panda pendant from her sleeve and tied it on Zhang Meilan's skirt. This is a pendant for girls.
"No, this is too expensive. Cousin, you'd better keep it in the store and sell it." Zhang Meilan didn't dare to take it. This small pendant cost ten taels of silver, and she really didn't dare to accept it.
"Cousin Meilan, please accept it. Yueqi and I each have one." Huang Yuejiao took out her pendant and said to Zhang Meilan.
"Yes, these are little gifts from the five of us sisters for our cousins. We each have one, as do our cousins, our grandparents, our aunts and uncles, and even our aunt and uncle," Yang Qingman said to Zhang Meilan. She'd prepared a ton of pendants, one for everyone. And if it wasn't enough, there was always our second sister. Pendants were her forte; she invented them.
