90s Little Struggle

Chapter 18 Lie
Wu Julan is usually very frugal.

No, most people at this time are very frugal.

But she thought that the eldest daughter had just come to Zhao's house, so she couldn't be too poor for dinner, otherwise what would the eldest daughter do if she got angry?
So she went to someone to exchange fish and shrimp.

As I said before, although Zha Village is a bit remote, they have a reservoir and a river, so fish and shrimp are indispensable here.

If anyone in the village wants to eat some fish and shrimp, they will put a few cages. Anyway, no matter how small the harvest is, they can make up a plate.

There are also clever people who take advantage of the trend to catch more fish and shrimp, and send them to Houzhai Town to sell in the morning. Anyway, it is a business without capital, and they can earn some money.

So she was going to try her luck to buy some fish and shrimp and come back to add another dish.

It was also her luck that A Biao didn't receive many fish and shrimps this morning, so he didn't bother to send them to the town to sell, and now they are all raised in big tanks.

She asked for more than a dozen palm-sized squids, which were delicate and cheap, and also asked for some small shrimps, and gave them one yuan.

Wu Julan had just returned home and started repairing the fish and shrimp when she saw her mother-in-law coming in a rage.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her, she sneered and said, "Hey, you are so generous when your daughter comes? Do you want to kill the rooster too?"

Before she could open her mouth, she pointed at her nose and scolded: "Just you, an old hen who doesn't lay eggs, you are ashamed to record your daughter in my son's household registration book, you are taking him for a fool, you have no conscience !"

Wu Julan was angry and anxious when she heard her mother-in-law scolding endlessly.

This must be because my man didn't coax his mother well, so she came to scold her.

Speaking of which, Wu Julan often felt that she was sorry for Zhao Youqiang and could not give him a son.

It's a pity that when Yanyan was born, her feet came out first, but at that time she didn't go to the hospital to give birth, she just invited a midwife, which almost killed her.

After finally recovering her life, the doctor said that she might not be able to conceive again in the future.

And Zhao Youqiang also felt sorry for her, it just so happened that the elder sister-in-law was the new women's director, and in their remote place, there were women who were unwilling to undergo circumcision after giving birth.

Her body was not suitable for a ligation, so she eventually went to have a ring.

She knew that she only had these three daughters in her life, and felt guilty towards the eldest daughter. She used to swallow her mother-in-law's scolding and disgust, but now she couldn't help but talk back: "My man is willing to be taken advantage of!"

In fact, she wanted to say that we have already separated, and you have nothing to do with it.

Or you have the ability to divorce your son from me.

It's a pity that she has been a little fugitive in front of her mother-in-law for so many years, and now she can't swear even if she wants to.

Besides, Wu Julan was also worried that the eldest daughter would get into trouble with her mother-in-law when she came back, so she just wanted to get her out of her as soon as possible.

"You, you, you..." Mrs. Zhao was not satisfied with the three daughters-in-law. The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was like drizzle, and it would come back every now and then.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and their natal family was also close, so they dared to scold her.

Only the youngest daughter-in-law, who had no contact with her elder brothers after the death of her natal parents, and she had no son, was as silent as a quail when she scolded her.

Unexpectedly, now that there is an extra oil bottle, he dared to talk back to himself.

Mrs. Zhao blushed angrily and slapped her thigh thickly on her neck: "Get out of here..."

Fortunately, their side is remote, and the nearby family only kowtowed melon seeds by the door as an opera, and they didn't have the nerve to join in to watch the fun.

The main reason is that there is no electricity in the village, and you don’t even have to watch TV, so conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very popular.

"Grandma!" Zhao Youqiang went to talk to his grandma before, and then went to a close family to 'borrow' some bacon, hoping to add something delicious.

Who would have thought that his own mother would come to bully his wife.

But he couldn't favor his wife and ignore his mother. He frowned and pulled her out of the door, and said in a low voice, "What are you scolding Julan for again? Didn't I say that Xiao Hong is already dead? After two years, she will die." You're married, so you don't have to let me take care of you all the time?"

Mrs. Zhao was also persuaded by her son's statement before, but the second daughter-in-law woke her up. Based on her son's love for Wu Julan, she might still have a dowry.

Furthermore, at this age, he has become a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with it.

Granny Zhao came to her senses and thought about it, and felt that her youngest son was really at a loss, so she regretted it.

"Bah," seeing her son's hopeless appearance, Mrs. Zhao also felt that she was being treated like a donkey with good intentions, and her eyes turned red: "I didn't want you to marry a second marriage at the beginning, but now you have become bankrupt, and they still want to marry you." Take you for a fool!"

It just so happened that Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang came back and heard Mrs. Zhao's words.

In this regard, Xiao Hong just wanted to praise: what a cultured grandma, she can swear in such a rhyme.

Under Xiao Fang's worried eyes, she stepped forward and shouted sweetly: "Grandma Zhao, uncle, we are back."

Cursing people behind their backs, and being heard by the Lord, even Mrs. Zhao felt a little blush.

She glanced at Xiao Hong, and saw that she was wearing a white shirt, black trousers and black cloth shoes. This outfit was unremarkable, but it fit her well, and she looked very good-looking.

The most important thing is that Xiao Hong has fair skin and a round face with a bit of baby fat. She is the most popular style among old ladies in the countryside, and she looks blessed.

If Xiao Hong started to cry, Mrs. Zhao could still say that she talked back to her, but the little girl greeted her with a smile, and she didn't know how to treat her for a while.

Zhao Youqiang was so depressed that he hated himself for carrying Xiaolu on his back and didn't see them coming back. He only hoped that they didn't hear what he said.

He rubbed his hands together, with a flattering smile: "Go ahead and have a rest!"

Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly: "Looking at your virtue, you can't wait to make offerings to them, right?"

Then she pulled her face and snorted coldly at Xiao Hong: "Your mother has remarried and is now a member of our Zhao family. We are not happy to support you."

Xiao Hong had thought for a long time that she would meet Grandma Zhao to find fault, but she didn't expect to come so soon, and she was still a little flustered, but she knew that if she wanted to stay, she must be dealt with.

She took two steps forward and said with a cute face: "Grandma Zhao, in fact, my father let me live with my mother because my stepmother and I hate each other. My father also feels very sorry for me. Give me 30 yuan a month for living expenses, and I will follow my mother now, and I won't drag them down."

She understood that Grandma Zhao didn't want to stay by herself, but in the final analysis, it was because she was poor and she was afraid that she would burden her son.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao took a deep breath and looked at her suspiciously: "Are you fooling me?"

"How dare I lie in front of you?" Xiao Hong smiled at her: "My dad gave me 400 yuan? I'll go and show you!"
