Mother-in-law’s Anger
“What?!” Ms. Fang was never a loser in arguments. She had her hands over her waist and snapped at Ms. Niu. “I don’t need you to teach my daughter-in-law! Only stupid people would listen to your advice instead of mine! Just save your breath! You can teach your own daughter-in-law if you have the time. I heard that your daughter-in-law again sneaked food to her mother’s family a couple of days ago, didn’t she? Oh god, what a nice daughter she is right? On the other hand, I am really lucky to have gotten such a wonderful daughter-in-law!”
Ms. Niu shivered out of anger. Her eyes widened and her face turned green.
Her eldest son’s wife, Ms. Zhang had always favored her own family. She had been sneaking things from the Shao Family to her own family ever since she got married, to show filial piety to her own parents.
At first Ms. Niu and her husband knew nothing about it. They both assumed that the family must have been robbed somehow, which caused a great deal of laughter among fellow villagers.
When they knew that it was Ms. Zhang’s deeds, they became extremely annoyed.
But Ms. Zhang, whenever he was caught, begged them for forgiveness with tears in her eyes. Yet not long after, she started to make the same mistake again.
However, she was a lucky mother who had given birth to one daughter and one son, whilst the other son of the family had not yet found a suitor.
With one son and one daughter as the leverage, Ms. Niu and her husband would not be able to divorce Ms. Zhang easily. Also, if they were going to find another daughter-in-law for their son, it would cost more money too.
Therefore, Ms. Niu tried to find ways to deal with Ms. Zhang every single day.
While one of them tried to find a way to hide the things, the other spared no effort to steal the stuff.
There was always chaos happening in their house.
Ms. Zhang was a strange woman too. If she failed to steal something for a long while, she would simply pull out the carrots and cabbages from the yard, and deliver them to her mother’s home.
When Ms. Fang mentioned this point, Ms. Niu was stabbed deeply in her heart and lungs.
Seeing that she got so angry that she could not utter a sound, Ms. Fang snorted arrogantly and glared back at Ms. Xu. “What are you standing here for, huh?”
Ms. Xu, who had seen her mother-in-law throwing temper in such a way, got so frightened that she almost collapsed. “What?!” She answered anxiously. “Okay, Mom! I will go and wash clothes now, yes, now…”
With that, Ms. Xu dashed off.
Although her mother-in-law had never set up traps for her or scolded her unreasonably, for some reason, Ms. Xu was very scared of her mother-in-law! When Mother-in-law was wearing a serious look on her face, Ms. Xu would dare to utter no sound.
Ms. Niu regained her breath and shivered. “You… don’t be so happy this early! You never know what your new daughter-in-law is like! You may have gotten one who can do nothing but wants to be spoiled all the time! That would be a big joke for your family!”
Ms. Fang would have been worried about this before the wedding, but now, she was not concerned about this matter!
She sneered ironically. “Alright then, I am waiting for you to laugh at me, if you can!”
Having said the words, she ignored Ms. Niu and walked away.
Ms. Niu let out a cry of anger. “Damn, this Ms. Fang is such a witch! What is she so proud of? As long as our brother defends us, she will have no place in the family! Our brother is the head of the family, not her!”
Only now did she realize that she did not have to argue with Ms. Fang. There was simply no need!
Ms. Niu was thinking about having a discussion with her husband and her sister-in-law, Ms. Ma about how to find a good match for her son and daughter. They needed money to start to prepare the gift!
Since Ms. Fang had Ms. Qiao as the daughter-in-law, she would need to help them prepare some gifts too, right?
Her brother had always been very generous to his siblings.
As she thought about this, Ms. Niu started to get really happy and decided to turn to Ms. Ma for a conversation…
