When Zhang Xiyue arrived home, she saw her brother and sister-in-law moving things to the cart in the yard without saying a word.
She was startled, "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Zhang Jinyu's wife Chi said with a smile: "We plan to move away."
"Where are you moving to? Has our family bought a new house?" Why doesn't she know about this? How much money did it cost to buy the house? Don't let this affect her dowry.
Chi sneered: "As long as you don't stay here, you can move anywhere. Get out of the way. Good dogs don't block the way."
They were leaving anyway, and Chi didn't mind breaking up with Zhang Xiyue, a sister-in-law whom she didn't like. Thinking about it, it was good to leave. The money she and her mother would earn in the future could be spent on their family, so it didn't matter.
For my sister-in-law.
Zhang Xiyue was stunned, "Our family is doing well, why are you leaving?"
If they leave, won't the housework have to fall on my aunt alone? My aunt's hands are used for writing and writing, not for cooking and chopping firewood. She is even less likely to do housework. On weekdays, Zhang Xiyue
Even holding needle and thread is too tiring. Dad also said before that he would persuade his aunt to give her a sum of money to make her dowry.
Mrs. Chi raised her chin and said, "Who is with your family? Go out and ask around to find out which family is like ours, where the daughter-in-law has to serve the sister-in-law and aunt who are concubines. If you don't have the fate of a lady, you won't have the disease of a lady."
"Which family's concubines are more noble than their direct descendants?"
"If you block the road again, don't blame me for spreading the news that you will make your future mother-in-law angry to death."
Does this sister-in-law really think she is a noble lady?
Zhang Xiyue, who originally wanted to say something, was like a snake that was pinched seven inches, standing beside her with a pale face, unable to say a word.
She didn't understand, she just went out for a while, why did the house become like this?
It turns out that her brother and sister-in-law have always been jealous of her favor at home.
It's normal for her father to dote on her. Who makes the eldest brother stupid and unable to bring honor to the family? The Zhang family has to rely on her in the end. As long as she gets better, she can also support her eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. How can they even have such a common sense of prosperity?
They don't understand, but they are full of resentment towards her. Their vision is so low, no wonder dad looks down on them.
Her eyes were red with grievance, but she could only watch them move things.
In order to avoid having to add household items after moving, Chi took away everything that could be moved. If she couldn't finish it in one trip, she would drag it several more times.
Zhang Xiyue gritted her teeth and could only enter the house.
Her father Zhang Chengwang's face was livid, and the throbbing veins on his forehead looked particularly ferocious. He was obviously trying to control his anger.
Seeing his daughter come in, Zhang Chengwang barely suppressed the anger in his heart. His eyes fell on Zhang Xiyue's dust-stained skirt, "What happened when you went to Su's house?"
When the Su family was mentioned, Zhang Xiyue felt even more aggrieved. She embellished the bad attitudes of Su Qingfen and Su Liao, and then said uneasily: "Dad, I don't think they will agree to my entry. They
You have already preconceived the idea of blaming Su Yuewei's death on me."
"They are also very dissatisfied with Su Binwei now, and they may not be willing to support him."
If Su Binwei can't recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, then marrying him would be better than marrying someone from the city.
Zhang Chengwang said disapprovingly: "They must be doing it for you to see, and they want you to quit before you get into trouble."
"When we have the opportunity to invite Bin Wei to our home, the more we do, the more we should treat him better and win his heart over to us."
"When you get married, or even have children, for the sake of your children, they will accept you sooner or later."
Zhang Xiyue felt the same way. The Su Liao family just hated her so much because they didn't understand her.
She changed the subject, "What's going on with eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
Zhang Chengwang's mood returned to bad, and he said with a dark face: "Don't mention him to me. They don't like us and are planning to move out."
But because Gu Liniang held the handle in his hand, he could only hold his nose and admit it.
Aunt Lan sighed and said softly: "It's my fault. If I could serve my sister more diligently, she wouldn't be so cruel."
Naturally, she didn't want them to leave. If they left, would it be possible that the housework would fall on her in the future? This would not be possible. The master would have to buy servants. She was not a servant.
Zhang Chengwang sneered, "What does it have to do with you? You treat her respectfully. They can leave if they want. It will not be so easy to come back in the future. I will not let them take advantage of us."
He paused and said, "You two, mother and daughter, have a little chat, I'll go out first."
Zhang Xiyue accompanied her mother back to the house and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what will happen to my dowry when the time comes?"
She originally thought that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would contribute a little, and her aunt would also contribute a little, plus what her father prepared for her, so that her dowry would be more decent.
Aunt Lan said: "Don't worry, your father must have gone to your Uncle Li to borrow money from him." She said she borrowed money, but she never paid it back.
Zhang Xiyue was surprised, "Will Uncle Li really give her money?" She knew that Uncle Li loved her very much. He gave her much more red envelopes every New Year than his elder brother. Every year on her birthday, Uncle Li would also have someone send her a brand new and exquisite envelope.
Jewelry and beautiful silks and satins. Zhang Xiyue was very fond of Uncle Li. If Uncle Li's sons had not been engaged for a long time, he would have even doubted whether Uncle Li wanted her to be his daughter-in-law.
Aunt Lan's lips curled up, her expression somewhat meaningful, "My Xiyue is so lovable, for you, your Uncle Li will definitely put on a lot of makeup."
It's okay if Gu Liniang leaves. Then she might have a chance to straighten things out in the future, and Zhang Jinyu won't be able to take advantage of her daughter.
…
Su Qingfen closed the door and exhaled frequently.
After my grandfather and the others came to offer incense, many people in the county town who had heard about the incident came to offer incense to my mother, making the funeral look glorious and no longer as deserted as before.
If her mother knew something underground, she would probably be happy.
Her brother Su Binwei did not come back, probably because he was afraid of being kicked out by her and embarrassing the neighbors. If he came back, Su Qingfen would not let him enter the house.
The mourning hall had been there for ten days and it was time to move out. Su Qingfen and her husband put it all away. Fortunately, her husband stayed with her during this period and took on all the heavy work, otherwise she might not have been able to survive.
She returned to the house where her mother had lived and sorted out her belongings. Her mother passed away suddenly, and there was no time to distribute the jewelry and silver.
Su Qingfen didn't see the silver, and she guessed that after her mother died, her brother had taken away the valuable jewelry and silver.
She put the clothes that Su Yuewei loved to wear during her lifetime into a box and prepared to take them back to her husband's house. She could take them out when she misses her mother.
While packing her clothes, she rummaged through the bottom layer of fabric and found a book.
Su Qingfen took out the book, opened it, and found that it was a diary written by her mother. She recognized her mother's handwriting at a glance. She opened the diary, and the front part mainly contained some emotions from her mother, lamenting that she was a virtuous person.
She was known as a wife and loving mother, and she acted outside and stepped on her relatives to gain fame, which eventually led to her betrayal and separation from all her relatives. It also said that if she had a chance to come back, she would definitely get along well with her family and would not do anything for unworthy people or relatives.
Turn against each other and become enemies.
Su Qingfen knew at a glance that these unworthy people were referring to two people, one was Zhang Chengwang and the other was her biological father.
Her mother also said that she must learn from her lesson and raise her two children to be successful, and not favor sons over daughters. Both children are her treasures.
Su Qingfen's eyes turned red. Even though her mother had a bad reputation outside, she was a good mother. She really missed her.
Tears fell down, fearing that the tears would wet the diary, Su Qingfen quickly wiped away her tears and cried hard before continuing to read.
When she turned to a certain page, Su Qingfen was stunned.
It says--
[Zhang Chengwang’s concubine is pregnant? But I have obviously given him sterilization medicine. How could he make someone pregnant? 】
