Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 15 First Meeting
Seeing that Liu Shi didn't answer, Mrs. Zhao glared at her again, cursing in her heart the useless things. After all these years of marriage, except for the birth of a sick grandson, her stomach hasn't moved for several years, and she can't take it back to her mother's house. Returning valuable things, what a poor family, I was really blind to marry such an in-laws!
"Mother, don't be angry. My sister-in-law must be asking to share the burden for her. I remember that there seems to be a silver bracelet in my sister-in-law's dowry. It is worth a lot of money. You can't see my mother as embarrassing, can you?"

Zhang Baozhu took Zhang Xiaobao by the side to watch the show happily, and smiled lightly to indicate something.She has long been displeased with this sister-in-law, and she doesn't know how to please her sister-in-law when she has good things, but she is also close to that dead girl Xiaocao, and she doesn't even kiss her sick child.

"Silver bracelet? Sister-in-law, this is your fault. You are all members of my Zhang family, so the bracelet belongs to my Zhang family, so it should be kept by mother!"

When Zhang Yinbao, who was yawning, heard the silver bracelet, his eyes lit up immediately. If the silver bracelet is given to that woman, she will show him face.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyes turned red with anger. She had never seen her in-laws ask for her daughter-in-law's dowry. That bracelet was the only valuable thing she had. She was worried that her mother-in-law would see her going there, so she never dared to take it with her. Thinking of it, my sister-in-law found out.

"Second Uncle, in order to see a doctor for your nephew, that bracelet has long been pawned, where is there any other silver bracelet?"

When Mrs. Zhao heard it, she looked at Mrs. Liu suspiciously, apparently not believing it, but now she dared to ask for it openly. These days, she was telling her second son a daughter-in-law. If it got out, who would marry her?

"Forget it if you don't have one. It's just a silver bracelet. My wife doesn't like it. Don't worry about giving gifts!"

He spoke generously, but stared at Mrs. Liu several times.

When Zhang Yinbao heard that there was no one, he naturally refused to believe it, and still refused to give up and whispered in Zhao's ear: "Mother, I'm afraid it's because the sister-in-law refuses to take it out, so mother should search her room, if you don't believe me, you can't find it! "

Although he coveted it in his heart, he didn't have the guts to search his elder brother's sister-in-law's room, but his mother would not be afraid of what the elder sister-in-law would say.

Mrs. Zhao glared at him. If this gets out, will she still lose face?It would be strange not to be laughed at by those slobbering women!
When Zhang Xiaocao heard this scene, she became more and more speechless towards those top-notch ones. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are also honest, if it was a pungent one, the whole family would have been turned upside down.

Mrs. Zhao was in a bad mood, and she didn't like anything. There was chicken dung in the yard, and she cursed for a long time. When she was eating, she saw the corn in the bowl, so she slapped her chopsticks on the table, stared at Zhang Xiaocao and said : "Prodigal girl, why don't you let yourself be killed if you cook like this!"

For this kind of unreasonable person, the best way is to ignore her, Zhang Xiaocao went to the stove with a muddle, not bothering to look at her disgusting face.

This act of disregard made Zhao's liver ache with anger!
After eating, Zhang Xiaocao and her sister-in-law were cleaning up in the stove. She saw that her sister-in-law was in a bad mood, and was about to talk about some relaxing topics. Unexpectedly, her sister-in-law burst into tears, and tears fell like water drops.

"Big... sister-in-law, don't cry!"

Zhang Xiaocao was at a loss, and quickly wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and wept softly: "Sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is not afraid of your jokes. I have been here for six or seven years, and my sister-in-law has never had a single day of comfort. The whole family will inevitably have bumps and bumps when they live together. My sister-in-law does not complain, but Sister-in-law has been working as a cow and horse all these years, but she can't make my mother understand. My sister-in-law's dowry was confiscated by her mother. Your nephew is sick, and my sister-in-law can't even give him the money to buy eggs to supplement his health. My sister-in-law feels uncomfortable ah!"

Listening to her crying, Zhang Xiaocao felt extremely uncomfortable. The elder sister-in-law is filial and loyal, but she didn't meet a husband with a tough waist, and she didn't have a generous mother-in-law. Well, it would be easier to talk about it if the family were separated, but it would be easier said than done!
By the way, split up!

Zhang Xiaocao's eyes lit up!
If, if the sister-in-law is separated from the family, will she have the opportunity to leave the family and live with her elder brother and sister-in-law?Do you no longer have to endure Zhao's and the others' making things difficult?Do you even have the right to speak about your own marriage?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaocao couldn't help getting excited. The elder sister-in-law is still good to her. If she asks to live with them, she will not refuse, and she doesn't need them to support her. It should work!

After making up her mind, Zhang Xiaocao glanced outside the stove house and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she whispered in her sister-in-law's ear, "Can't sister-in-law go out alone with elder brother?"

Mrs. Liu was startled, forgot to cry, and asked back, "Is this possible? Your second and third brothers haven't married yet, so parents won't agree to our separation!"

Why doesn't she want to?But let alone mother-in-law won't agree to this matter, even father-in-law won't agree!

Zhang Xiaocao hadn't thought of this, but when she heard it, she was immediately discouraged!
"What if they agree? In the future, the second brother and the others will have a family, and you will definitely help me. Isn't that okay?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head with a wry smile and said, "My aunt's thinking is too simple. If you don't say anything else, just say that my third uncle is still in school, and Shuxiu costs one or two taels of silver every year. Most of them are father-in-law and your elder brother who work in the town. If you don’t have your big brother, who will pay for it? If your big brother is gone, what will your nephew and I do for food? Not to mention the second uncle and you and your aunt!”

After Zhang Xiaocao heard it, she was completely wilted!

In this way, even if Mrs. Zhao agrees, the eldest sister-in-law will not agree, and although she has more than three taels of silver in her hand, it is pitifully little to live on!

After raking her hair, Zhang Xiaocao angrily threw the rag into the pot, sat down on the low stool and sighed.

Mrs. Liu thought she was worried about her sister-in-law, so she couldn't help but feel a little moved, and felt less uncomfortable. She patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about sister-in-law. This family must be divided after all. All these years have passed. Just a few more years!"

Zhang Xiaocao didn't tell the truth, but she was even more annoyed. She was in a different situation from her sister-in-law. She couldn't accept the life Zhao had arranged for her. If it was the original owner, she might have accepted her fate like this, but she came from the modern Zhang Yunhua. There is no word "accept fate" in my dictionary!
Since this road is temporarily blocked, she has to find another way. In short, her future must not be decided by others!
After a few days, it was the day when Lizheng’s family was entertaining guests. Early in the morning, Zhang Dashan and Zhang Baoyin went to work in the town as before, so Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu went to Lizheng’s family to help, and Xiao Zhuangzhuang was also taken there. Zhang Baozhu and Zhang Xiaobao also went to join in the fun, and Zhang Xiaocao was the only one left at home to watch the door.

Taking advantage of no one at home, Zhang Xiaocao fed the chickens and pigs, locked the gate of the courtyard, and went to the mountain with the thin hemp rope and thin wire for rabbits.
