When she was young, she made a fuss several times, but she never succeeded.
"Mom! Don't be sad. I will work hard in the future and try my best to give you a better life."
Seeing his mother-in-law in tears, Shen Yunsheng quickly comforted her.
A mother-in-law who gets married to a mama's boy is really unlucky.
When the atmosphere became somber, Granny Yang suddenly pushed the door open.
"You brat, you're getting bolder and bolder. You even dare to instigate your mother-in-law to ask your father-in-law for money."
Shen Yunsheng sneered: "It is only natural for my mother to ask my father-in-law for money. As an elder, you should not interfere."
Granny Yang glared fiercely at Chen Yunsheng.
"Your father-in-law's money is to be left for your second uncle's travel expenses, so you'd better not try to take it from him."
"Mother! Please don't be angry. Your daughter-in-law was just mentioning it casually."
When her mother-in-law got angry, Luo quickly apologized.
Shen Yunsheng was speechless at his mother-in-law. Whenever the old lady got angry, his mother-in-law would back down. She deserved to be bullied.
Granny Yang was very satisfied with her eldest daughter-in-law's performance. She glanced at her and asked with a smile, "I came here today to ask when you plan to repay the money?"
Shen Yunsheng: "We'll consider paying back the money when we've earned twenty taels."
Granny Yang: "Wenjing's wife, how much do you have on you?"
Just as Luo was about to tell the truth, Shen Yunsheng gave her a wink.
"My daughter-in-law only has 70 coins."
“You only have seventy coins, why don’t you hurry up and earn some money? You stay at home all day, are you hoping that I will help you pay off your debts?”
Grandma Yang glared at her eldest daughter-in-law. She could earn a dozen or so coins a day washing clothes in town, which was better than staying at home.
Shen Yunsheng looked at Granny Yang meaningfully: "Grandma, how about you lend me ten taels of silver first, and I'll pay you back when I earn the money."
Granny Yang put on a stern face and snorted coldly: "Instead of borrowing money from me, you'd be better off finding a job. I'll urge your second aunt to help you."
Shen Yunsheng grinned wickedly: "Grandma, if you really want to help us, let my second aunt give it to us now."
Granny Yang didn't want to delay, so she pondered for a moment before forcing a smile.
"Wenjing's family, you go and help make breakfast. I will make sure Wenkai's family gives you the silver today."
Before Luo could speak, Shen Yunsheng interrupted, "Mother, you rest, I'll go help Second Aunt."
Grandma Yang stopped eating her second daughter-in-law's cooking a long time ago; it was really hard to eat.
Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to leave, Granny Yang called her back.
“Jingchuan’s family, why don’t you try something different? Your second aunt steams buns every day, I’m so tired of them.”
"Grandma, even a clever cook can't cook without rice. There are only a few pounds of sorghum flour left in the house. How can I change my diet?"
Shen Yunsheng was extremely depressed. For the past few days, she had been relying on the spiritual spring to replenish her strength, and she had been eating sorghum buns for all three meals a day. Who could stand that?
After hesitating for a long time, Granny Yang finally spoke: "I still have a few pounds of brown rice in my cupboard, you can cook some brown rice porridge."
Shen Yunsheng was speechless. Locking up even a few pounds of coarse rice? This old lady was disgusting.
Seeing that Shen Yunsheng didn't speak, Granny Yang said again, "Go to the kitchen first, I'll bring it to you later."
Shen Yunsheng hummed in agreement and then got up to leave.
No sooner had she left than Granny Yang began to berate Luo.
“Wenjing’s wife, it’s not that I, as the mother-in-law, like to criticize you, but you’re already a mother-in-law, yet you’re still being led by the nose by that girl Yunsheng.”
Luo instinctively lowered her head. Every time her mother-in-law scolded her, she chose to remain silent; she was already used to it.
Granny Yang glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Wenjing's wife, you should have a broad vision. Once you've paid off the loan sharks, you can focus on earning money to support your brother-in-law's education. When he becomes the top scholar in the imperial examination, he will definitely treat you well."
Luo dared not speak out in anger. What she hated most was her mother-in-law's empty promises. Her brother-in-law had been taking the imperial examinations for decades and hadn't even passed the lowest level, yet her mother-in-law still expected her to become an official.
Granny Yang frowned slightly. Her second son and eldest grandson were both in school, and she was under a lot of pressure. She had to raise one hundred taels of silver for them before they took the provincial examination.
"I suspect that Jingchuan has died in battle. I plan to ask someone to inquire about the situation and see if I can get some money for blood donations."
"No, that's impossible. If Jingchuan had really died in battle, the government would have posted the death list long ago."
Luo interrupted her mother-in-law excitedly, saying that even at this point, her mother-in-law still wanted to use her son to get compensation.
Granny Yang glared at her eldest daughter-in-law with displeasure.
"Don't worry about this, I'll figure something out."
Luo's mood plummeted. From beginning to end, her mother-in-law had never loved her son Jingchuan. If it were someone from the second branch of the family who had gotten into trouble, her mother-in-law would have sent someone to inquire long ago.
When Granny Yang saw her eldest daughter-in-law shed tears, she couldn't help but scold her angrily.
"It's so annoying, who are you looking at with that long face for?"
Her mother-in-law scolded Luo, which made Luo even more heartbroken. She couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.
Granny Yang glared angrily: "You...you shut up right now, or your good daughter-in-law will think I'm bullying you when she sees this."
Luo lowered her head resentfully, and when Granny Yang saw her crying, she turned and left.
Xiao Family Compound, Kitchen
When Qiu saw Shen Yunsheng enter the kitchen, she put on a stern face and started yelling.
“I’ve been cooking for Jingchuan’s family for several days in a row, it’s time for you to cook.”
