happy event

Chapter 5

Regardless of whether the parents in the previous life or the mother in this life passed away early, it's fine if she didn't have the opportunity to honor them well, at least she couldn't let others point their noses and scold them.

Sister Cao saw that Dong Rong's complexion was not good, so she grabbed a green onion and dipped it in the sauce bowl, and continued to scold while biting, "Why, are you still not convinced? My parents are good-tempered, and Zhu Zi Don't think my family is easy to bully if you're ignorant! In the future, I will come back often to teach you the rules of being a daughter-in-law!"

Dong Rong glanced at the dining table, which was as clean as if it had been swept by devils, raised her brows and retorted, "Old sister wants to teach me the rules, I am naturally happy. However, I will invite the eldest sister's family to come over after breakfast. Let's My family spent a lot of money because of marrying me back, and the money is tight these days, and the food tank is mostly empty. If the elder sister’s family takes up the family’s rations and makes my parents starve, then the elder sister is not filial.”

"You, you..." Sister Cao originally went back to her mother's house for a few more meals in the name of teaching her sister-in-law a lesson, but she didn't expect Dong Rong's few words to break her mind.She blushed with embarrassment, turned around and yelled at Mrs. Cao, "Mother, look at her, she has only been in the door for two days, and she dares to scold the elder sister. If you don't teach her today, you won't be able to say it later." It’s time to go to the house to uncover the tiles.”

Mrs. Cao has been stingy for many years, so seeing that the lunch she just made was eaten up by her daughter's family, she naturally feels distressed.But compared to her daughter-in-law who just entered the door, no matter how distressed she is, she has to help her daughter speak.It's a pity that before she could help, someone in the courtyard said first, "It's better to see what you look like before you teach others a lesson. Whose married daughter often goes to her mother's house? If you have this spare time, why don't you go to the city to do it?" It’s better to do some odd jobs and earn a living by yourself than to play around in the autumn wind.”

Eldest sister Cao was annoyed by Dong Rong's choking, but she didn't expect someone to say something even worse. She turned her head and was about to start scolding, but when she saw the person, she immediately jumped up, saluted hurriedly and said, "Aunt...Aunt ,How did you come?"

"Why, if you can go back to your mother's house, can't I go back?" Aunt Cao, who was dressed in a dark blue dress and wrapped her hair in a handkerchief, was neatly dressed, glared at her niece, and then stepped into the room.Mrs. Cao's husband, Mr. Chen, was most afraid of the old lady. After saluting in a hurry, he excused that there was still work at home, and then dragged the two children and ran away without a trace.

Granny Cao stepped forward to take the basket from her sister-in-law, and covered it for her daughter with a smile, "Auntie, why are you here? Have you eaten breakfast? I'll prepare more meals if you send a message in advance."

Aunt Cao sneered in her heart. Zhuzi got married the day before yesterday, and she couldn't come because she was caught in the cold. As a result, this stingy sister-in-law didn't even bother to let someone bring her a share of food.Not to mention preparing breakfast specially, it's just a nice word of mouth.

"Sister-in-law, you're being polite. Before Zhuzi got married, I, as an aunt, didn't have a sip of the wedding wine or a bite of food. I felt uncomfortable. I happened to come here today to see my niece and daughter-in-law."

How could Mrs. Cao not know that her sister-in-law was running on her, but she pretended not to hear it, turned her head and drove Elder Sister Cao to the field outside the village to call Old Man Cao back.Sister Cao was worried about how to hide out, so as not to be reprimanded by her stern aunt again, she hurried away after hearing this.

Aunt Cao lived in the same village as the Dong family, and even lived in the front and back yards with the Dong family before changing houses, so the Dong family siblings have been taken care of by her since they were young.Dong Rong received the memory from the original owner, so she was naturally very close to the old lady.Before Aunt Cao could speak, she took the initiative to salute and said with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."

"Okay, okay." Aunt Cao took Dong Rong's hand and smiled happily, "You girl, I grew up watching you, and your temperament and appearance are all bad, but your life is a bit bitter. But it doesn't matter. What, from now on you will be the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, as long as you show filial piety to your in-laws and take good care of the pillars, life will be much better than before."

Dong Rong didn't know how to respond, so she lowered her head and pretended to be shy. Sure enough, the smile on Aunt Cao's face became stronger by three points.She reached out and found a paper bag in the basket she brought, and after opening it several times, she revealed a lake-blue muslin dress, "Sister Rong, you and Zhu Zi are married, and my aunt doesn't know what gift to give as a meeting gift. It just so happens that there is a good piece of muslin cloth at home, so I sewed a sweater for you, you can try it on and see if it fits?"

There is no woman in the world who doesn't like new clothes. Dong Rong just picked up the small package brought from her mother's house, and secretly scolded her stepmother, Niu, for being black-hearted and vicious. She married a daughter and received ten taels of silver. Not willing to accompany.Unexpectedly, Aunt Cao was so considerate, she must have known her ways of doing things after living with Niu for many years.

"Thank you, aunt. My aunt's needlework is the best in all villages. I don't have to try it to know that it fits me well."

Aunt Cao was coaxed into ecstasy, she laughed and said, "You're married, you're much sweeter than when you were in your mother's house."

Granny Cao watched the two chatting and laughing, and couldn't help interjecting sourly, "Hey, you two are very close, people who don't know will think you are the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and I am an outsider."

Just at this moment, old man Cao rushed back from the field, and upon hearing this, he said, "What nonsense are you talking about, aunt is not mother-in-law anymore? Why don't you boil water and make tea!"

Granny Cao was reprimanded, got up and walked out unhappily.Old man Cao was very happy not to see his sister for many days, the siblings sat together and talked about the daily life.Dong Rong wanted to avoid her, but Aunt Cao kept holding her hand, so she had to lower her head and pretend to be cute.
