Chapter 176: Each with His Own Thoughts
"Da Lang and Er Lang, stay!" After dinner, Gao called her two sons.
"You guys go and rest first!" The two brothers asked their wives and children to go back to the house first.
"Yes!" The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, feeling puzzled.
Last night, my mother-in-law asked my husband to go into the mountains to pick monkey ginger. The unhappy looks on the two sisters-in-law's faces were seen by my mother-in-law. At that time, there was too much chaos to take care of them. Is she going to settle the score now?
The two sisters-in-law, one from the Pei family and the other from the Wang family, returned to the house with their children, feeling anxious.
"Mother, what's the matter?" Yang Dalang asked.
"I kept you here because of Chunhua's matter." Gao looked around at her husband and son.
"Little sister? Don't worry, mother. Just stay at home and recuperate. We have enough food for her. How can she recuperate with the situation at Uncle Wang's house?" Yang Dalang expressed his opinion.
Yang Erlang glanced at his brother and said nothing.
"Second brother, isn't that right?" Yang Dalang wondered why his younger brother, who used to keep pace with him, didn't say anything.
"Brother, let's listen to what mother has to say first." Yang Erlang smiled.
"Mom, what's wrong with my younger sister?" Yang Dalang asked his mother.
"Da Lang, what do you think of Su Erlangjun?" asked Gao.
"Lord Su Erlang?" Yang Dalang looked at his mother and then at his brother, asking what was going on and asking Lord Su Erlang.
"What's the matter? Why are you all asking about Mr. Su Erlang? Oh, are you going to give a thank-you gift? The Su family is good and more capable than us. Mr. Su Erlang is kind. What thank-you gift does mother want to give?" Yang Daluo suddenly realized.
"What do you think if Chunhua is married to Mr. Su Erlang?" Gao threw out a shocking bombshell.
"What?" Yang Dalang stood up in shock.
"Mother, is it true that our family cannot tolerate my little sister? We cannot rely on the Su family just because Su Erlangjun saved my little sister. Who will dare to save others in the future?"
"Da Lang, sit down!" Old man Yang glared at his eldest son.
The eldest son was not as quick-witted as the second son, and he didn't even notice the obvious words last night.
"Yeah! If you think my little sister is a nuisance, I will take care of her!" Yang Dalang said with his neck stiff.
"My little sister has a miserable life. If her parents can't accept her, who can she rely on?"
Before he finished speaking, Yang Dalang's eyes turned red.
Chunhua is the youngest among her siblings and is the most loved by her brothers and sisters.
All the way from Chang'an, their brothers and sisters fell ill or died, and in the end only the three of them were left.
They were older and stronger, and started families early. Although they were poor, they almost got eaten by wild beasts several times when they went up the mountain, but they managed to survive.
My younger sister lost her husband and her children. Her parents-in-law are old and they rely on my younger sister to support them all.
My mother’s family is my younger sister’s last resort, but I didn’t expect that her family would not accept her!
Gao held her forehead with her hand and said, "Da Lang, can you please listen to what I have to say?"
"No matter what you say, you can't drive me away!" Yang Dalang said in a muffled voice.
"What are you talking about, old man?" Gao saw that her husband and second son had been silent.
"Whatever you say, we'll do it! Although Su Erlangjun is not as good as his brother, he is also a capable person in this Huanggou Village.
He was just a little soft-tempered and couldn't control his wife and daughter. It was also because Qin and the girl were too bad and couldn't be controlled without some severe measures.
Although a little weak, but the family education is good, the young men are well-educated, Chunhua will probably not be bullied when he goes there." Old man Yang commented objectively.
They were witnesses to the suicide of Xiao Qinshi and Su He. It was he who gave the things to Feng Dazhuang or brought them there. He knew exactly what was right and wrong.
After hearing what his father said, Yang Dalang finally came to his senses. "Father, second brother, have you had this idea for a long time?"
"Brother, Su Erlang is actually quite good. If I marry him, I'll have someone to rely on. It's not that my parents can't tolerate him, but they want me to have a better life. They can't let me spend my whole life in the Wang family!"
Yang Erlang also expressed his opinion.
"Have you asked my younger sister?" Yang Dalang agreed with Su Laoer in his heart, but he respected his younger sister's wishes more.
"We've asked, but now we don't know what the Su family's attitude is, or whether they have any willingness." Gao said slowly.
"If I'm willing, then Su Erlang is indeed a good choice. But how do I explain this to the Wang family? After all, I'm a member of the Wang family now." Yang Dalang was a little conflicted.
He wanted his younger sister to live a happy life, but with the Wang family's parents-in-law being like that, how could his younger sister escape? Wouldn't they be provoking the Yang family?
Selfish, reckless, taking advantage of others...
Spit can drown people.
"What do you want to be explained? Chunhua's service for so many years is not enough? Marrying into his Wang family is not selling him to the Wang family and being their slave for life!
Whenever the two old people bring me a bowl of soup, I feel that Chunhua’s efforts over the years are worth it!
But until now, have you seen a bowl of porridge or a bowl of water delivered? What's the point of staying at such a mother-in-law's house?" Gao said in a bad tone.
The daughter she raised with great pampering wants her to serve others as a filial duty. If Chunhua is treated well by her, she won't mind.
Let’s not talk about the past, life was difficult.
Now that Chunhua has fallen, life is not as difficult as usual. A bowl of porridge is also a token of my love!
Old Mr. and Mrs. Wang didn't say anything. Gao felt very upset and felt sorry for her daughter.
"I'll find some time to sound out Mr. Su and see if Mr. Su Er is interested. If it works out, I'll talk to Old Man Wang!" Old Man Yang made the decision.
He was also unhappy with the attitude of Old Man Wang and his wife.
No matter how much work you have, don't you have time to cook? Bringing a bowl of rice, even if it's just plain porridge, is a thoughtful gesture, right?
Alas, some things cannot be thought about too much.
Old Man Wang was never a good person in the court before, and he fought with him to the death.
Exiled here, the situation is stronger than the people, so they have to marry.
The village elders chosen are the heads of each family.
Don't think that Old Man Wang looks listless. It's just that he has suffered too many setbacks in recent years and has become indifferent.
If he had many children and grandchildren, it would be hard to say who would be the village chief!
"What do you, a grown man, have to say about women's affairs? Damn it!" Gao interrupted.
"In a couple of days, when Mr. Su Er's cotton coat is ready, I'll send him a thank you gift and have a chat with Old Madam Su, and also feel out any concerns."
Judging from her face, Old Lady Su is not easy to get along with and comes from a poor family.
The poorer the family, the more rules they have and the more difficult it is to get along with the mother-in-law.
The only time they had talked was about the matter of Xiao Qin and Su He.
Gao still needs to have further contact, both to test Su Laoer's attitude and to see how this old lady behaves.
The husband is good, but the wife cannot stand the mother-in-law’s interference, which causes discord between the couple. There are many families like this.
Gao didn't want her daughter to escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den!
"What does mother want you to do?" Yang Dalang returned to the house, and his wife asked him in a roundabout way, feeling very guilty.
"Nothing! Go to sleep!" Yang Dalang looked at his wife and held back from saying anything.
My wife is a member of the Wang family and the niece of Old Man Wang. It is unclear whether my younger sister’s affair will succeed or not.
It’s fine if it succeeds, but if it doesn’t, how will my younger sister cope in the Wang family?
Mrs. Wang looked at her husband's back suspiciously. Her husband was used to turning his back when he was worried.
There must be something hidden from me at home! That night, the couple tossed and turned, each with their own thoughts.
