Chapter 331: Zhang sympathizes with her father-in-law



Old Madam Liu has been very busy these days.

She had learned two days ago that the biological father of her children was coming back!

Moreover, he was coming back to be an official.

When she thought of that man, Old Madam Liu was delighted. She began to dress herself up in front of the mirror.

Thinking of how her third daughter had played with her face a year ago, making her face whiter, tenderer and more rosy than before, Old Madam Liu couldn't help but smile. She felt that raising this daughter was really worth it!

Usually, when Old Madam Liu was at home, she was quite prestigious. The men in the family dared not disobey her, and her sons all listened to her. However, her daughters-in-law all had their own selfish desires. They always thought they could be the masters of the family and move out directly after the family was divided.

But now, when they heard from their husbands that the old lady Liu's former lover was going to return home in luxury and become a top official, they couldn't help but run to their mother's house and complain to their brothers and their biological parents.

"Dad, Mom, Brother, what do you think I should do?!"

"I don't know how much I have offended my mother-in-law with some of the things I said and did in the past."

"I originally thought that my mother-in-law was just a philanderer and not a virtuous person, except for finding wild men outside and cheating on my father-in-law. But later I found out that there are actually many men in and outside the village who envy my father-in-law!"

"Now that my mother-in-law's lover is going to be the county magistrate, my mother-in-law, including several of my uncles and younger brothers-in-law, are all as energetic as roosters in the morning. Early this morning, my husband asked people to say more good things to my mother-in-law and curry favor with her..." The person

who said this was Zhang, the third daughter-in-law of old lady Liu. She always had her own ideas, but this time, she was really confused.

I don't know why, but she felt so sorry for her father-in-law. She felt that her father-in-law, such an honest man, was so pitiful.

He had to wear such a bright green green hat on his head for so many years. Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?

In addition, when her mother-in-law's lover came back, he would definitely take her biological children back. In this way, everyone in the area would know about it. It would be such a shame...

When she thought of her father-in-law being so pitiful, Zhang couldn't help but have red eyes and almost cried.

Her brothers from her natal family didn't know about the twists and turns in her mind.

When they heard that the old lady Liu's former lover was so successful and even became the county magistrate, their eyes suddenly lit up, and some even turned green.

"Sisters, are you telling the truth? You are not lying to us!?"

Zhang looked at them in confusion, then shook her head seriously, "Why would I lie to you for no reason?"

"The new county magistrate sent a basket of snacks from other places, tea, and seven or eight pieces of cloth last night. Old lady Liu was so happy that she couldn't see her eyes. She also said, 'Thanks to your kindness, she and the children have been doing well in recent years.' Moreover, the old lady also said that the third sister gave him an extraordinary grandson. I hope he can come and see him someday when he has time."

When the Zhang brothers heard this, some of them slapped their thighs excitedly. Some of them immediately exclaimed, "I originally thought that it was a great fortune for your mother-in-law to marry into the family of Captain Huang at the age of over 50. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that she, an old woman, could have such good fortune..."

Thinking of this, the Zhang brothers couldn't help but talk about the old lady Liu.

"Hey, big brother, how come this old lady Liu is so powerful?"

"This powerful lady has brought several men into her house, allowing all her men to enjoy a good life for the rest of their lives. I am also a man, why don't you think I am so lucky?"

The eldest brother of the Zhang family nodded and said, "Yes, second brother, I have the same idea now."

"If my wife could be as capable as my sister's mother-in-law, we wouldn't have to go out to work every day! We can just sleep at home, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and live a good life. We can even find a few lovers outside like the old lady Liu's husband, and live a fairy-like life together."

The youngest Zhang opened her mouth in surprise when she heard her brother say this carelessly.

After being dumbfounded, they could not help but wonder.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, you are men, how can you have such an idea?"

"Letting your wife find a wild man outside, is this really good?"

When the Zhang brothers heard this, they were immediately angry and embarrassed, "You are a woman, how can you understand the hardship of us men?!"

"There are dozens of people in our family, who doesn't need to eat and drink every day? Every year, we have to pay the head tax, land tax, and food tax. Every quarter, we have to perform labor service. When there is a war outside, we have to send a few adult men to serve as soldiers outside."

"We have limited land. There are only about twenty acres in total.

With such a small piece of land, we have to support our entire family. Sister, tell me honestly, is this difficult? Is it hard?" At this point, the youngest of the Zhang brothers but the one with the fastest brain, couldn't help but talk about his envy of his sister.

"Little sister, sometimes, I really think you are living in a blessed situation but don't know how to appreciate it!"

"Your old lady is very capable. She hooked up with a rich and powerful man like Captain Huang. A long time ago, you also told me that the old lady relied on that man to eat a bowl of meat and drink a bowl of meat soup every two or three days, and she became fat and white. Later, Captain Huang had more and more say in the government office, and was more and more liked by the county magistrate. The old lady Liu relied on this relationship to directly contract those hundreds of acres of official land."

"At that time, some poor families in Chenjia Village, those families in Gujiagang, and the cousins ​​of your third sister-in-law's husband all benefited a lot from it! Even you, in that family, had no worries about food and clothing, and you sent your two sons to school and studied."

"...Actually, I wanted to tell you at that time, please flatter your mother-in-law, so that we brothers can also benefit from it, how great is that?...But I don't know why, little sister, you always like to go against your mother-in-law."

Seeing her third brother say this with a lot of anger, Zhang couldn't help but get angry.

"Third brother, what you said is too boring!"

"You only think about eating meat and drinking soup, why don't you think about my mother-in-law fooling around outside, where will my father-in-law's dignity and face be?!"

"Do you know that my father-in-law sighs when he talks about my mother-in-law now. Every time I see him frowning and sitting in the house smoking, I feel bad. My father-in-law is a poor man..."
