Su Yuewei was so anxious that she shed tears. She didn't know why her husband was willing to give this money.
"I really never asked for money... You all see what I do to you when I get married." She wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog every day, focusing on being a virtuous housewife. There are many people in the village.
Which daughter-in-law can do half as well as she can?
In the end, Xinghua still said this to her, which really made her sad, and she felt that all her previous efforts were in vain.
She and Zhang Xinghua were arguing in the room, and Zhang Chengwang in the study was so quarreled that he lost all inspiration and frowned.
He came out of the study, rubbed his temples, and showed a tired look, "Xinghua, please stop talking. The money was given by me and has nothing to do with your sister-in-law."
After all the money was given, Zhang Chengwang naturally had to manage his reputation. It sounded better to willingly provide for his brother-in-law to study than to be threatened by his mother-in-law and have to pay for it.
Thinking of Su Liao's face threatening him, a hint of disgust flashed across Zhang Chengwang's face, and his hands clenched into fists unconsciously. He must get the title of scholar this year!
Zhang Xinghua just caught his expression in her eyes, and she immediately misunderstood, thinking that her eldest brother had hated her because of her sister-in-law. They were relatives connected by blood, but now that her eldest brother had money, he did not leave it to her as a dowry, but gave it to an outsider.
She devoted herself wholeheartedly to this family, yet she was disliked by her eldest brother.
Zhang Xinghua felt a sense of grievance in her heart. The big brother who always stood in front of her to protect her was gone.
"Yes, sister, you should say less. The eldest brother earns the money, and he has the final say on how to spend it. Instead of having time to stare at the money at home all day long, you might as well learn some needlework from your sister-in-law.
Save some private money, and we don't expect you to use it to supplement your family income. You are already 13 years old, if you don't learn how to do it, no one will want to marry you."
Zhang Wanli, the second son of the Zhang family, has a very good impression of Su Yuewei. Although she is not as charming as her last sister-in-law, she is gentle and virtuous, always looking at him tenderly, and worried that he will be bullied in school.
If he wants to marry a wife in the future, he will have to marry his sister-in-law. Sister Xinghua’s pinching character is only tolerated in the Zhang family because they have good tempers. In other families, they would have given her a long time ago.
She sets the rules.
Besides, it was the two men who had the final say on how much a girl's dowry would be. Sister Xinghua, on the other hand, was only thinking about grabbing the family's land and money to get a dowry for herself. He had long been disgusted with this selfish temperament.
Seeing that her brother-in-law was willing to speak for her impartially, Su Yuewei shed a little less tears and felt much more comfortable. Fortunately, there were still people who saw her actions and were willing to accept her favor. Her brother-in-law was not like Xinghua, who was just a white-eyed wolf.
Zhang Xinghua felt that she was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even her younger brother tried to teach her a lesson for Su Yuewei. There was no place for her in this family.
She hated Su Yuewei to death.
She glared at Su Yuewei fiercely and rushed out of the house.
Although Su Yuewei hated Zhang Xinghua in her heart at this moment, she still looked anxious on her face, "Will Xinghua be okay?"
"She is still young. How can we, as brothers and sisters-in-law, vent our anger with her? We have to let her go and reason with her. How about I go get her back?"
Zhang Chengwang was extremely annoyed now, both with Xinghua and Su Yuewei. He said coldly: "No need, the village is not big, everyone knows the basics and can't throw it away."
He didn't look at Su Yuewei and went straight back to the study.
Su Yuewei said softly: "I went to the county town this morning and bought a fish. Can I stew fish soup for you to replenish your health?"
"what ever."
When Su Yuewei saw that he was willing to talk to her, instead of pretending that she didn't exist as he had done a few days ago, Su Yuewei was very happy, so naturally she didn't mind his cold attitude.
In any case, Cheng Wang is willing to stand up and speak for her today, which shows that he has her in his heart. She just needs to continue to behave well, and they will definitely be able to restore their previous relationship soon.
Or starting from today, sleep half an hour later every day and do more work. It would be great if she could earn those two taels of silver earlier.
Thinking about how difficult it was for her to make money, and thinking about Su Yueling who made a lot of money by selling cookbooks next door, feelings of unwillingness and jealousy grew like vines, tightly binding her heart.
Although the Yuan family never said how much Su Yueling's recipe was sold for, the villagers guessed that it was at least fifty taels of silver, seeing how Su Yueling spent money like water.
She wouldn't be able to earn fifty taels of silver even if she worked hard for five years.
How could someone's life be so good?
…
Su Yueling looked at the crabs placed in front of her. The crabs were freshly steamed and still steaming. Next to the plate was a ginger-vinegar saucer and a glass of rice wine.
In addition to steamed crabs, there are also boiled shrimps and a dish of garlic cabbage at noon today. I didn’t go to the county to buy the shrimps, but went directly to the river to catch some. Yuan Suifeng has made a net and hung it in the river these days, and it is often small.
There is gain.
There are four members of the Yuan family, and each has a different style of eating crabs. Yuan Suifeng is a bold person. He picked up one and started to nibble on it. While nibbling, he praised, "This crab is very fresh, although there is not much meat.
But it is indeed delicious. But if you wait another two months, the crab will be even more delicious by then."
Yuan Baoshu was a pretty girl. Although she didn't have the eight pieces of crab Su Yueling mentioned at home, she chose to use scissors and a hammer to crack the shell and then shave out the flesh.
Her movements were graceful, but she was obviously not very skilled in eating crabs. There were a bunch of scattered crab shells on the table, and Yuan Baoshu's face turned red unconsciously.
As for Yuan Suijun, he is also a tool man. When he knocked it, the shell of the pliers cracked, revealing the attractive crab meat inside. After he finished eating the crab meat, the crab shell could be put back together again.
As for Su Yueling, she just ignored it. She tried her best not to let her eyes turn to the crab. No matter how tempting the scent was, it would still be the same.
Without eight pieces of crab, she didn't know how to eat it. Humph, she wouldn't eat it. She just picked a few shrimps and put them in her bowl.
Yuan Baoshu said: "Sister-in-law, how about I peel it off for you?"
If it had been someone else, she would have gone down the steps and asked Yuan Baoshu to help her.
On the contrary, Su Yueling became picky, "No, your crab meat is all scattered and it makes you lose your appetite."
When she said this, her bright eyes turned to Yuan Suijun. Yuan Suijun was different. Among the three of them, he was the most elegant and beautiful in peeling crabs.
Yuan Suijun frowned. He had just told himself in the morning that he had to keep a distance from Su Yueling and could no longer coddle her.
Even if she eats a crab, someone has to peel it off. Can she be any more delicate?
The light in Su Yueling's eyes disappeared.
Yuan Suijun took a deep breath and said in a cold tone, "Just this time, you will do it yourself from now on."
With that said, he brought over the plate with crabs in front of Su Yueling.
Well, just this time, there will be no next time. Just because she treats Baoshu well.

Yuan Suijun had a cold expression: There will be no next time.
