Because Sanya's good day is on the 27th, and the New Year will be in two days, so Wu's mother and Aunt Wu stayed here in Tianjiacun to celebrate the New Year. As for Wu's second brother, he returned to the army the day after the wedding.
On the afternoon of the second day of Sanya's wedding, Tian Shao felt keenly that Aunt Wu was looking at her with scrutiny. She felt confused, but she didn't ask, she just smiled at Aunt Wu and entered the house.
In the afternoon of the next day, Si Ya knocked on the door and entered Tian Shao's room, whispering: "Sister, the third brother-in-law's sister-in-law said bad things about you behind your back."
"What bad things did you say about me?"
Si Ya lowered her voice and said, "You are said to be lazy. You stay in the house sleeping all day and don't do any work at home. Not only that, you are picky and don't even eat the leftovers."
In fact, a long time ago, except for occasionally cooking a few dishes when the mood struck, Tian Shao no longer did any housework at home.
Tian Shao asked strangely: "Where did you hear it?"
Si Ya said with a look of disgust: "I just went to the back garden to pick vegetables, and then I heard it. The old woman also said that it's lucky that the third brother-in-law married the third sister, otherwise I would have to serve you. She is here to visit us.
, why are you still making irresponsible remarks, I don’t know what the reason is.”
Tian Shao thought about Aunt Wu's enthusiastic appearance when she first arrived and the scrutiny she received yesterday, and couldn't help but shake her head. She really had a different face in front of others.
Tian Shao said: "It's good that you know this. Don't tell your parents or your third sister. Otherwise, they will know that they feel uncomfortable and will not be able to live a good life this year."
Si Ya hummed and said, "I know, I will tell my parents and third sister after they leave."
When Tian Shao saw that she agreed, he put the matter down. Not to mention Aunt Wu, even Wu's mother had nothing to do with her, so she would not take their words at ease.
Unexpectedly, Siya promised not to tell Tian Dalin and his wife and Sanya, but turned around and told Wuya and Liuya about the matter.
After learning about this, Liuya was very angry. When Aunt Wu said during dinner that the leftovers could be eaten and she shouldn't be so picky, she started to complain.
Liuya put her chopsticks on the table and said with a cold face: "So what if my eldest sister is picky about what she eats? My parents don't even have a problem with it, so it's your turn to make irresponsible remarks here?"
As soon as he said this, the dinner table suddenly became quiet.
Tian Shao glanced at Si Ya helplessly. This girl really couldn't hide anything. It was her fault. She should have told Si Ya not to tell anyone about this.
Aunt Wu felt ashamed and said: "You are still a college student, don't you know the superiority of elders and juniors? Besides, I was wrong. I thought we couldn't even eat at the beginning. We were born in our era and didn't eat this or that."
If you don’t eat, you will starve to death.”
Liuya was not used to it, and said: "Before liberation, children were sold to eat tree bark. Why don't you go and eat it now? Also, calling you sister-in-law is polite. You really think of us as our elders."
Wu Zhengqing's face was full of confusion, and he didn't understand why his sister-in-law suddenly attacked his sister-in-law. Sanya looked at Liuya, wondering what happened.
Tian Shao stopped him and said, "Liuya, don't say any more."
Liuya snorted coldly and said: "Sister, you are so stubborn that you don't care about her, but I won't tolerate it. We entertained her well, but she said behind her back that you are lazy and greedy and exploited our younger sisters. If I hadn't told her,
When she returns to the northwest to promote it to everyone, everyone will really think you are lazy and greedy and want to exploit your sister."
Wu's mother's face burned with panic. She didn't expect that what her sister-in-law said in private would be known to the Tian family. In fact, her sister-in-law Wu had told her many times in the past two days not to arrange for the eldest sister of the Tian family, not even in the house. After all, walls have ears.
.But the sister-in-law just couldn’t control her mouth. Alas, she really lost her face in front of her in-laws.
Wu Zhengqing was almost furious, but he still had to hold back his anger and said: "Sister-in-law, the eldest sister is writing a book and not sleeping when she stays in the house. The royalties she earns every year are more than my father and I's combined allowance.
many."
Aunt Wu had a look of astonishment on her face.
Sanya was very angry and said: "In the past, there were six of us sisters, and my eldest sister did the most work. After she wrote the book, we were afraid that her hands would be injured, so we didn't let her do housework."
Wu's mother held back her shame and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault that Zhengqing and I didn't explain this matter clearly to her sister-in-law, which caused the misunderstanding."
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and we can't drive Aunt Wu away.
Tian Shao took the initiative and smiled and said: "Since there is a misunderstanding, just let it go. Auntie, let's eat. If you don't eat the food, it will be cold."
Wu's mother forced a smile and said: "Eat and eat, my father-in-law, my mother-in-law, eat together."
The meal was finished amidst embarrassment between Wu's mother and Wu's sister-in-law. As soon as they finished eating, the two of them immediately returned to the house, and Wu Zhengqing followed them.
After entering the house, Wu Zhengqing said with a serious face: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? If you come to Tian's house as a guest and say something like that, how do you want my father-in-law to look at me?"
Aunt Wu came to her senses at this moment and said: "I just told your mother in the house and didn't go out to tell her. They must have been hiding at the door or outside the window and eavesdropping, otherwise how would they know."
After a pause, she added: "Besides, you and your mother didn't tell me that the eldest sister of the Tian family was writing books when she was in the house, and she was making so much money. If I wanted to know, I would definitely not say anything."
Wu Mu said helplessly: "It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't know how much money she makes!"
She didn't care at all whether Tian Shao was lazy or diligent, and it wasn't her daughter-in-law's business to care about what he did.
Seeing that her sister-in-law was still arguing, Wu Zhengqing felt regretful. If he had known that he should have refused and refused to let her come, what would have happened today would not have happened: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Don't talk nonsense in private.
Eight ways.”
"Also, the person in charge of the Tian family is my eldest sister, not my father-in-law and mother-in-law. She didn't get angry today because of Sanya's sake, otherwise she would kick you out with her temper. At that time, we were here
What a shame."
Aunt Wu said: "Okay, I'll leave now."
Wu's mother held her back, and then said to Wu Zhengqing: "Take Sanya quickly to apologize to the eldest sister of the Tian family, so as not to make her feel uncomfortable."
When Wu Zhengqing returned to the house, he didn't see Sanya, so he guessed that she had gone to Tian Shao's place to apologize. He knocked on the door and entered the house, and sure enough, he saw Sanya standing in front of Tian Shao with an accusing look on her face.
Tian Shao said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You don't need to blame yourself. Just sit down!"
Seeing that she didn't sit down, Tian Shao joked: "If you don't sit down, Zhengqing will think that I am using you as a punching bag. Okay, sit here, but this little thing is not worth it."
Sanya's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "Sister, it's me who's sorry for you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't still be talked about at home."
Tian Shao has done so much for her over the years, but she has never reported anything, and she has been feeling guilty. As a result, now that she is married, her husband's family is talking about her eldest sister's merits behind her back, which makes her feel guilty and ashamed.
Wu Zhengqing blushed and said: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't expect my sister to be so unobtrusive. Don't worry, sister, I promise it won't happen again."
Tian Shao didn't believe this at all. She said: "Your sister-in-law is used to gossiping about people behind their backs. It's useless even if you follow her and stare at her."
Wu Zhengqing was unable to refute.
Tian Shao waved his hand and said: "You go out first, I will talk to Sanya."
