Zhang Qingyao felt aggrieved when she heard her sister's aggressive tone, her mother and sister didn't comfort her after something happened to her, and her mother didn't even send anyone to ask after she had been home for so long.
"I didn't let you come. If you had told me earlier, wouldn't it be better for us sisters to come back together?"
As he spoke, his eye circles were already red.
"No," Chu Yunli felt no pity in her heart. "You are busy saving people. I want to go home to see my mother. We have different purposes. How can we be together?"
"I am your sister, do you have any sympathy?" Zhang Qingyao cried and asked, "Something happened to your brother-in-law. If you can't save him, what will happen to me and the child?"
Chu Yunli watched her cry without any fluctuation in her heart, and her face was calm: "You have many ways, but my brain is not as good as yours, so I won't bother to help you find a way."
Hearing these strange words, Zhang Qingyao glared over, "Tell me clearly, what do you mean I have more options?"
"We both know very well whether those words are easy to say or not." Chu Yunli glanced at her, "My dear sister, do you really not know how Yu Shanmeng feels about you?"
Zhang Qingyao's expression changed slightly, "Don't talk nonsense. I am his sister-in-law, and he is my brother-in-law. The bond between us is you. Apart from this, there is no other relationship."
Chu Yunli sneered, "The lavender pearls he found were only three in total. Both of us, mother and daughter, couldn't wear them. He said they would be given to you, and you accepted them calmly. It turned out that I didn't want to, so I refused. Sister.
"My mother has taught us since we were young that we should not accept gifts indiscriminately, especially gifts from men. Have you forgotten?" She slapped her forehead. "You were smart and had a good memory when you were a child, so you must have not forgotten it."
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became. Zhang Qingyao said angrily, "In my eyes, you and he are both my relatives. The things he gave me were what you gave me. My mother-in-law's family is not short of these pearls, no one else."
I accepted all the gifts.”
"Thank you for being considerate." Chu Yunli said bluntly, "Please don't accept the things my husband gives you in the future. Because it is his own intention, not what I want to give to you."
During the dispute between the two sisters, Mrs. Zhang was surprised at first, but then she drank tea calmly and did not stop her from the beginning to the end. Seeing that her second daughter had the upper hand, she even had a faint smile on her lips, obviously in a good mood.
Zhang Qingyao has a gentle temperament and never quarrels with others, because every time she does not need to speak, someone will help her to speak out. Today, there is only her mother by her side, but her mother has not helped her from beginning to end. In her eyes, her mother is very partial.
, she would never take the initiative to help herself. She simply cried and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. Is it reasonable for my sister to say such things?"
Mrs. Zhang put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her lips gracefully, and asked slowly, "In the past, you didn't accept Yu Shanmeng's gifts, but now you don't want to accept his lavender pearls."
Zhang Qingyao was speechless.
Mrs. Zhang continued unhurriedly, "Qingyao, you are the one who has no sense of propriety. Your father always stops me from teaching you, always thinking that I am too strict. I know you don't like to hear it, so just take it as my words."
It’s just something that’s just falling on deaf ears.”
Zhang Qingyao sat at the table, lay down on the chair and cried, "What will happen to Mingqiao? What will I do in the future?" After crying for a long time, she raised her head and asked expectantly, "Mom, I heard that my aunt's cousin is an official in the capital.
Sister-in-law, can you ask her for help?"
"No." Mrs. Zhang refused without even thinking.
Zhang Qingyao's eye circles turned red again.
Just at this moment, Mr. Zhang, who had rushed back after learning that his eldest daughter had returned home in tears, arrived. When he entered the door, he saw his aggrieved daughter. He had just heard the news about the accident in the Gao family, and hurriedly comforted him, "Don't cry. Just do it."
Even before he has been convicted, there is still room for maneuver. The most important thing now is to go home and prepare money. The more the better." Seeing that his daughter was listening attentively, he continued, "Whether it's looking for someone to take care of things or dealing with the court's fine.
It will be used. If you wait until you start raising money when you need it, it will be too late."
After saying that, he looked at his wife beside him and said, "Write a letter back and ask your siblings' relatives to ask for help."
Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "My younger brother and sister's cousin married a man who is not an official. The highest-status person in the family is a fifth-grade official. He is quite powerful in the eyes of us businessmen, but when it comes to the salt merchant, he will definitely not be able to help. There is no need.
It’s troublesome.”
Normally the favors maintained are not abused like this.
Mr. Zhang immediately became angry and shouted, "This matter is extremely urgent. As a mother, please find someone to ask what's wrong."
The relationship between the couple was not good to begin with, or in other words, Mrs. Zhang had a very tough temper, which was why the two became more and more estranged. Just like this time, Mr. Zhang was furious, and Mrs. Zhang was even angrier than him. She stood up suddenly and slapped the table.
She slapped the teapot and porcelain cups on the table so loudly that she said loudly, "I won't ask."
The two looked at each other, neither of them willing to give in.
Chu Yunli turned her head to look at Zhang Qingyao, who was lying on her stomach and crying, and asked, "My parents are quarreling over you like this, and you just watch. Do you have any intention or conscience?"
Zhang Qingyao didn't raise her head or reply, as if she hadn't heard anything. Chu Yunli stepped forward and grabbed her collar, forcing her to raise her head.
Being pulled like this, Zhang Qingyao felt pain and screamed.
Mr. Zhang turned around when he heard the sound, saw the movement here, and yelled, "Qingxue, you are bullying my sister again, let me go."
Chu Yunli bitterly threw Zhang Qingyao away, "It's so noisy that you can't hear or see. I'm helping her with her ears and eyes."
As soon as she let go, Zhang Qingyao hit her head on the table and screamed in pain again.
Mr. Zhang is furious "Qingxue"
In fact, Chu Yunli did not use any force whether he was pulling or letting go, and Zhang Qingyao was not injured at all.
She turned a blind eye to Mr. Zhang's anger and said, "Dad, the source of the Gao family's trouble this time is in the capital. If they can get away over there, my brother-in-law will be fine. If they can't, no matter how much you move around or ask questions, it will all be in vain."
.”
Master Zhang scolded him, "What do you, a female family member, know?"
Chu Yunli was not afraid of him and answered, "My mother is also a daughter-in-law. You can find a way to save your son-in-law."
Mr. Zhang was a little sensitive to these words and emphasized, "That is also your mother's son-in-law."
"No" Mrs. Zhang suddenly said.
Mr. Zhang was stunned and looked over in surprise.
Although Zhang Qingyao did not raise her head, she stopped crying and was obviously listening to what was going on here.
There was silence in the room, and Mr. Zhang asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? I was too anxious, so I was a bit fierce."
"I said," Mrs. Zhang interrupted him and said every word, "Gao Mingqiao is not my son-in-law, and Zhang Qingyao is not my daughter. You asked me to raise her before, and I agreed. But you favor her in every way, and you still ask me to
You are also partial to her because you are making things difficult for me. I cannot treat my own children equally with children born to others, so you have alienated me all these years, and I admit it."
She stood up and approached step by step. "I once made my daughter suffer a lot for her sake. This morning, my daughter was still washing her hands to make soup, and her palms were burnt red. She even ran to
She seduced Qingxue's husband and made Yu Shanmeng wholeheartedly plan for her." She stared at Mr. Zhang tightly. "We, mother and daughter, have done a lot for her over the years, and now you want me to do it for her.
My siblings from my natal family ran to beg Zhang Hui. I am your wife and I should help you. Qingxue is your daughter and I should suffer injustice for the people you are willing to protect. But my natal family does not owe you anything."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mr. Zhang glanced at Zhang Qingyao, "Qingyao was born in your ten-month pregnancy. I will be sad after hearing these words from you."
"Sad." Mrs. Zhang's face was full of sarcasm, and she pointed at Zhang Qingyao, "Her son is already eighteen years old and is about to become a grandmother. You have never seen anything and yet you still treat her as a three-year-old child and protect her. It feels aggrieved like a ten-year-old."
She cries like a 10-year-old child, but she is not a real ten-year-old child. Of course, in your eyes, she is a delicate flower that needs to be taken care of, and everyone else is a rotten straw who deserves to be stepped into the mud to provide her with nourishment. Are you willing?
It's your business to protect her, don't force me, let alone try to harm my daughter and her family."
The resentment that had been accumulated for many years suddenly broke out. Mrs. Zhang's face was full of excitement, and she was in tears before she knew it.
Chu Yunli stepped forward, held her arm, and wiped her tears with the other hand, "Mom, don't cry. Just like my daughter said just now, don't shed tears for people who are not worthy of it."
Feeling the warmth from her daughter's hand beside her, Mrs. Zhang's excitement was soothed. She took the handkerchief and wiped her tears with a smile on her face. "You're right."
Zhang Qingyao had already stood up at some point, looking at this and that, and asked tentatively with a cautious look, "Dad, what do you mean by this? I was not born by her, so who was born by her?"
Mr. Zhang's face was full of pity, "Your mother is angry with me. It's because she suffered a lot when giving birth to you, so she blames you and refuses to acknowledge you."
Zhang Qingyao blinked and shed tears, "Is this really the case?"
Before Mr. Zhang could answer, Mrs. Zhang suddenly turned her head and sneered, "You already know whether it's true or not. Why are you still pretending to be here?"
"I don't know." Zhang Qingyao cried and shook her head, "I am your daughter."
Mr. Zhang looked disapproving of "Mrs."
Mrs. Zhang suddenly burst out laughing, "She has been fond of her aunt the most over the years, and she often tells outsiders that she and her aunt are similar in appearance and temperament. She has known for a long time that she is her biological mother. She pretends not to know, just to fool you."
Just this fool"
