When Zhang heard the servant's report, her hands trembled and she almost threw the baby in her arms. She looked at her mother-in-law with pleading eyes.
Qiao Xin was half leaning on a recliner, looking calm and composed, drinking the plum wine that was popular among the ladies these days.
The taste is a bit sour and not sweet enough.
With some improvements it should be a big seller!
"Ah mother!!!!"
"If you want to see me, then go ahead. Your body should be able to handle the scolding at this point!"
Zhang shook her head like a rattle and was not happy at all.
"No, no, no, I know I was wrong. Can you help me, mother?"
Li Tianwang, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King of Tianshan, and the Ruler-Strict Mother-in-Law on Earth, are both murderous and difficult to deal with.
Parents are born with the ability to suppress their children, and she really couldn't handle her mother's fiery mouth and reckless temper.
She couldn't be so foolish as to cause trouble for her husband's family anymore.
She still can't tell who is reliable and who is not.
Then I really have no face to live on!
"Oh mother, oh mother..."
"Alright, alright, I agree with you, you can't have any objection to what I do. For the sake of raising you, I can give them a chance to live, but if you still want to call yourself our in-laws and bully others like before, don't even think about it!"
"I'll listen to you, old man!" Zhang agreed hurriedly.
"Okay, Madam Shi, bring the people in, take the child in, and tell the three ladies not to come out until they tell you to.
And you, you should fulfill your duty as a daughter-in-law today, come and pour the wine! Why are you so happy, put away the smile on your face......"
As soon as Qiao Xin opened her mouth, she started to act aggressively!
When Zhang's mother was led into the second gate, she found that the atmosphere in the mansion was different from before.
The servants who came and went had solemn faces, moved in a hurry, or stood like wooden stakes. There was no trace of the lively and relaxed atmosphere of the past.
As soon as Zhang's mother stepped into the living room, she saw Qiao Xin sitting at the top of the table. Her imposing manner made her dare not look directly at him.
Is this still the same country woman who has lived in the countryside for most of her life? How could she have changed so much? It's no exaggeration to say that she has been reborn.
No wonder her daughter kept telling her that the Qiao family was no longer what it used to be. She didn't take it seriously at first, but her personal experience during this period made her realize that the two families were no longer the same. The Qiao family was no longer something they could reach.
Then she looked at her daughter standing cautiously by the side, holding the wine jug and serving respectfully. There was no sign of an official's wife behaving like that at all. She was treated completely like an unwelcome servant.
Qiao Xin picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and looked at Zhang's mother with cold eyes.
"You're here." Qiao Xin's voice was as calm as water, but the majesty contained in it made Zhang's mother's heart tighten.
"Hello, Madam. I'm here to see my daughter!" Zhang's mother bowed quickly, secretly complaining in her heart.
"No need to be polite." Qiao Xin put down her wine glass. "Since you came here by yourself, it's better that I don't have to send someone to call you. So, are you planning to take your daughter back?"
"Mother-in-law, this is too much. Since Yunniang has married into your family, she is yours in life and in death. How can she go back to her parents' home?"
Didn't I hear that Yunniang gave your family another grandson? As a grandmother, I must come and take a look."
"Oh, the one who came to congratulate us actually came back empty-handed. Is this the rule of your Zhang family? Or do you not take my Qiao family seriously at all?"
Zhang's mother's face turned pale. She never expected Qiao Xin to suddenly turn against her.
"Madam, this...what does this mean? We are relatives!" Zhang's mother pretended to wipe her tears.
"In-laws?" Qiao Xin sneered, "When have you, the Zhang family, ever treated us as in-laws? These days you have been using our family's name to cheat people outside, but have you ever thought that we are the Qin family? You actually reached out to my granddaughter. I, Qiao Xin, will not recognize such in-laws."
Zhang's mother was speechless and could only lower her head silently.
"From now on, you'd better not come to our Qiao family's door again. If there is any news outside that your Zhang family is doing evil in the name of the Qiao family, you will never see your son again in this life." Qiao Xin said calmly.
Zhang and her mother felt a chill down their spines when they heard this.
"Remember your own status. If you continue to bully others with your daughter, I will send your whole family back to your hometown in the northwest. The position of the prefect's wife does not have to be your daughter. It's not like our Qiao family has no daughters-in-law who have divorced and returned home!"
Plop
Zhang fell heavily to the ground and did not get up for a long time. Qiao Xin raised her head expressionlessly, and Nanny Shi stepped forward and waited for others to step forward and helped her up.
Zhang's eyes were slightly red and her face was filled with fear and tears.
She could feel that when A Niang said this, she was not threatening his mother, but warning her!
Seeing this, Zhang's mother ran away and refused to stay for even a moment. She never even looked at Zhang.
"Don't cry, the person is gone, he probably won't have the courage to come to your house again in the future. Parents like this are not worth your attention. In the future, settle down and live a good life with Yunqing. Don't make any more troubles. The second brother can't tolerate you forever. Don't do it again and again. You can take care of yourself!"
Zhang slumped in the chair, her eyes closed, her tongue bitten and her mouth full of the taste of rust, her whole body trembling, shocked and scared!
She knew that her mother-in-law would keep her word, and her husband really treated her differently!
Seeing her useless look, Qiao Xin couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand.
As expected, she shouldn't have been so nosy. The Zhang family was in such a weak position that she couldn't intimidate them without saying something harsh.
He played the good guy role, and if Zhang didn't play the bad guy role in time, people would inevitably say that Qiao Yunqing and his wife were too heartless and ungrateful.
In this fucked up environment, even if the parents are assholes, the children must respect them. Otherwise, a hat of being unfilial can ruin the future of the second child and his family.
The nature of the situation is different if you show up yourself.
Qiao Xin pulled out a land deed from her sleeve and handed it to Zhang.
"I have someone buy ten acres of land and three houses not far from the city of Yuncheng. You can give them to your mother to complete the mother-daughter relationship. With these things, as long as you are not lazy, you will have no problem surviving."
It is impossible to let the Qiao family support you with free food and drink. If you want to live a good life, you must work for yourself. Don't expect to do nothing and still have a good life like before. No matter how bad the conditions are, they are better than the life in the northwest.
"Tell your mother that I will always have someone watching them. As long as she doesn't care about your brother's life or death, she can do whatever she wants!"
"Thank you, mother, for your kindness!" Zhang didn't expect Qiao Xin to make such an arrangement. Now this situation is already the best.
She took the deed and turned to chase after him.
